Bentley 4 ½ "Blower" '1926

Bentley 4 ½ "Blower"

Bentley 4 ½ "Blower"

The history of the Bentley company, founded in 1919 by the famous British engineer Walter Owen Bentley, is clearly divided into three stages: independent existence (1919-1931), as part of Rolls-Royce (1931-1998) and under the control of Volkswagen (1998-present) .). The most famous cars of this brand - the 3 Liter, 4 1/2 Liter and Speed Six models - were created in Cricklewood, London in the first ten years of the company. All of them were in line with Bentley's idea of a real sports car: fast, powerful, heavy, with a large engine and a luxurious interior. Such cars were equally suitable for both racing and everyday use, for which they were prized by wealthy British motorists. The company was supported by contributions from its wealthy fans known as the "Bentley Boys". Le Mans victories in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 glorified Bentley cars all over the world.

The Bentley 4 1/2 Liter is a landmark British sports car that is reminiscent of the days when prestigious road cars won the race. Bentley legend of the 20s. created by wealthy aristocrats, who were united by "a love of carelessness, elegant tailoring and a thirst for speed."

These gentlemen, known as the "Bentley Boys", provided excellent publicity for expensive Bentley products with their races. Bentley himself was well aware that his company exists at the expense of competition, and when developing new models adhered to the proven principle of "there's no replacement for displacement". This meant that Bentley believed that the main way to increase the power of the engine was to increase its volume. As a result, the Bentley 4 1/2 Liter became even larger and heavier than its predecessor, for which Ettore Bugatti ironically called it "the fastest truck in the world."

In 1926, the luxury 6-cylinder 6 1/2 Liter model went on sale, and a year later, the sports Bentley 4 1/2 Liter was designed on its basis by removing two cylinders and reducing the wheelbase. Thus, both vehicles had a solid ladder frame with dependent front and rear suspension on semi-elliptical springs with friction dampers and mechanical drum brakes on all wheels. The all-cast iron 4-cylinder in-line 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4398 cm3 featured a very long stroke of aluminum pistons (140 mm with a cylinder bore of 100 mm) and was equipped with a single overhead camshaft driven by bevel gears, which controlled four valves located at an angle of 30 ° through rocker arms and tappets per cylinder. The engine also included two magneto with two spark plugs per cylinder, two SU carburetors, a dry sump and underbody protection.

The atmospheric Bentley 4 1/2 Liter developed 110 hp. in the serial version and 130 hp. in racing, so she was very fast despite weighing almost 1700 kg.

Driving was challenging due to the unsynchronized 4-speed manual transmission and the oversized steering wheel. Easy-to-open fuel and radiator caps and Rudge-Whitworth spoked wheels with a center nut made pit stop service much faster.

The 4-seater open body Le Mans Tourer from Vanden Plas was intended for both racing and city streets. It had three small doors (on the driver's side there was a deep cutout in the sidewall of the body and an external handbrake lever), a folding windshield and a simple fabric awning. The length of the wheelbase was 3300 mm, but on 8 copies it was shortened to 2980 mm.

Built for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Bentley 4 1/2 Liter prototype debuted in 1927 but failed to reach the finish line due to an accident. However, 1928 saw the victory of Wolf Barnato and Bernard Rubin in the atmospheric version; another crew finished 5th.

The following season, the team became the absolute leaders: Jack Dunphy, Dudley Benjafield and Frank Clement in their 4 1/2 Liter took the 2nd, 3rd and 4th places, respectively, after Barnato and Birkin in the Speed Six.

The achievements of the model at Le Mans ended there, but in other races it also showed good results, for example, in 1930 it took 2nd place in 500 miles of Brooklands. From 1927 to 1931 the company produced 720 Bentley 4 1/2 Liter units, including 55 "Blower" compressor units.

Ironically, the Bentley 4 1/2 Liter "Blower" rose to fame as one of the best race cars of all time without winning a single race.

In addition, Walter Owen Bentley himself has always opposed superchargers, preferring to increase power due to the volume of the cylinders. The idea for the "Blower" came from racing driver Tim Birkin, who suggested installing a compressor on a 4 1/2 Liter Bentley to make it more powerful than the huge Speed Six.

With the financial resources of the millionaire Dorothy Page, Birkin managed to implement the project and convince Bentley to build 55 of these machines for homologation at Le Mans.

The first "Blower" was created in 1929 by Clive Gallop, Mike Cooper and Amherst Villiers. There was no room for the Roots supercharger under the hood of the production 4 1/2 Liter, so it was installed right in front of the radiator grill.

A compressor with two rotating blades was powered by the crankshaft and pumped the fuel mixture through the carburetors into the intake manifold.

Power increased to 175 hp. in road modification and 242 hp. in racing, but at the same time "Blower" at full speed consumed 4 liters of gasoline per minute.

The engine, supercharger and gas tank were protected with a metal mesh to prevent stones from entering (in 1925 at Le Mans, Frank Clement and John Duff in a Bentley 3 Liter got off the track due to a punctured gas tank).

The list of Bentley compressor achievements is very short: 2nd place in the 1929 RAC Tourist Trophy, 2nd place in the 1930 French Grand Prix and the speed record in Brooklands - 222 km / h. In Le Mans, the model performed only in 1930, but both crews did not reach the finish line.

Thus, the Bentley "Blower" did not secure a single victory for the team, and due to its unreliability brought the company a bad name. Nevertheless, the Blower is the most valuable pre-war racing car today.

Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans '1931

Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

Alfa Romeo is a legendary Italian brand founded in Milan in 1910. Its history reflects the main stages in the development of the entire European car industry. In the early years, she specialized in the production of expensive cars with high dynamic performance. In the 30s. the company reaches the pinnacle of its fame: at the time, Alfa Romeo was considered one of the best sports cars, but only a few could buy them.

Design Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

Another masterpiece by Vittorio Jano and the first model from the 8C series is the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300. By far, at one time it was the most perfect racing car and one of the best cars on the road.

Design Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

It was developed exclusively for racing, but after the first victories, it was decided to sell the cars to wealthy customers. From 1931 to 1934 the company built 188 chassis of two types: Corto (wheelbase 2750 mm) and Lungo (wheelbase 3100 mm).

Design Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

The 6C 1750 and 8C 2300 engines had the same bore and stroke (65 mm x 88 mm), two camshafts and two valves per cylinder. The 2.3-liter powertrain, however, consisted of two docked all-alloy 4-cylinder blocks and was always equipped with a Roots supercharger. This provided 142 hp, which was transmitted to the rear wheels via a mechanical 4-speed gearbox.

Design Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

Shell's Dynamin fuel, a mixture of gasoline, benzene, ethyl alcohol and castor oil, was fed through a Memini two-barrel carburetor to a compressor mounted on the right side of the engine. The Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 had a U-shaped ladder frame, front and rear suspension on semi-elliptical springs with friction dampers and large diameter drum mechanical brakes on all wheels.

Design Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

The Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 dominated the racetrack for four years with over 50 victories. The first performance at the Mille Miglia due to tire problems ended in an accident for two cars.

Under the hood Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

In the next Targa Florio race, the victory went to Nuvolari and his Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, and a couple of weeks later at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, two crews - Nuvolari / Campari and Minoya / Borzacchini took first and second places.

Interior Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Le Mans

In 1931, Birkin and Howe won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with this car. The 8C 2300 went on to win Le Mans and Mille Miglia for three years in a row, and also took first and second places in the Monaco Grand Prix in 1932.

The car shown in the photo belonged to Henry Birkin and participated in Le Mans in 1931. The body was built by Touring and had cut-off doors and two additional places covered with an awning. All racing modifications were equipped with a folding windshield and bonnet straps. On the sides of the body, in front of the rear fenders, there were special compartments: the right one for the battery, and the left one for the tools.

The car brand, named after the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was created in 1917 by Henry Leland, who left the Cadillac company he founded earlier due to disagreements with shareholders. In 1922, the Lincoln Motor Company was bought by Henry Ford, and since then it has been the luxury division of the Ford Motor Company. From the earliest days under the Lincoln brand, only high-end cars equipped with 8 and 12-cylinder engines were produced.

The lower-valve V8 385 engine of the same displacement (6309 cm3) received a 2-chamber Stromberg carburetor with a downdraft and an increased compression ratio, resulting in an output of 120 hp. The frame is slightly lower and the wheel diameter is reduced from 20 "to 19". A car with a factory body (2 or 4-door phaeton) cost $ 4400, which was equivalent to the price of 10 Ford phaetons. Nevertheless, during the Great Depression, the company even increased its profits by 2%, producing 3311 cars in 1931.

SEAT Tango Concept '2001

With the two-seater Tango, the SEAT Technical Centre wanted to evoke "the spirit of sporty 50s and 60s convertibles through the use of pure, no compromise, design".

-SEAT Tango-

SEAT-Sociedad Ibérica de Automóviles de Turismo

SEAT was founded in May 1950 by the INI, the Instituto Nacional de Industria, a state-owned industrial holding company. In the first half of the twentieth century, Spain had a very limited automobile market, particularly compared to other European countries. There was only limited car production and those that were produced were mainly at the luxury end of the scale.SEAT actually had its origins back in 1940 with the founding of SIAT (‘Sociedad Ibérica de Automóviles de Turismo) by Spanish bank Banco Urquijo.

The aim was to establish Spain’s own mass production car market and was originally going to be a private enterprise but INI took over following a decision by Franco. Because Spain was inexperienced in mass producing their own cars they were going to look for a foreign partner.

However, World War Two was going on and Spain was still recovering from their own Civil War so they delayed the project. And SEAT as we know it was founded in 1950 with 600 million pesetas (almost 3.6 million euros today) and an alliance with Fiat already in the bag. The first car was the SEAT 1400 model, launched in 1953. SEAT was very focused on using as many local Spanish suppliers as possible during the production process, and by 1957 93% of production parts were Spanish.

Design SEAT Tango Concept

S-E-A-T

The first SEAT launched was actually considered a luxury car, and was therefore highly priced and not affordable to the average Spanish consumer. Because SEAT was lacking in technical expertise, their first models were rebadged or restyled Fiat models and it wasn’t until 1963 that they launched their own self-developed model, the SEAT 800. And it was the SEAT 800 that was the game changer. It was the first car for many Spanish families and was so popular that there is even a monument of the SEAT 800 in Spain.

Design SEAT Tango Concept

S-E-A-T

The main event at SEAT is the show of the Seat Tango roadster, which has very harmonious, balanced forms. "Our job is to create a mood, not an illusion of it," chief designer de Silva said of the show.

Design SEAT Tango Concept

S-E-A-T

Tango is a running prototype, with a 180-horsepower turbocharged 1.8-liter engine, it develops 235 km / h, and reaches “hundreds” in seven seconds. The body of the roadster (3685x1714x1181 mm, base 2200 mm) is aluminum, traditional leather prevails in the interior trim.

Design SEAT Tango Concept

S-E-A-T

There is a kind of roll call of color and texture: the outer and some interior panels are painted with Tango Gray metallic ash, the front panel, seats, steering wheel and “tongues” behind the individual roll bars are matte, rough to the touch, warm chestnut shade. "Tongues", by the way, open, under them there are small trunks. There are racing helmets of the same color!

Design SEAT Tango Concept

S-E-A-T

Tango bucket seats are motionless (their frames are part of the power circuit of the body) - you will have to adjust the steering column and pedal assembly to fit the figure. A powerful motor with good torque (a peak of 235 Nm is "smeared" in the range from 2100 to 5000 rpm) required a six-speed gearbox.

Design SEAT Tango Concept

S-E-A-T

The front suspension of the car is almost conveyor MacPherson, and the rear, on trailing arms, is endowed with thruster properties. Tango is a car for those who are used to driving pleasure, however, it is equipped with ABS, APS and dynamic stabilization system. The presence of frontal and side airbags does not give out too far plans for SEAT in relation to this car.

Jensen 541R '1957

Jensen Motors is a company from the English town of West Bromwich, which produced sports cars of the GT class. She started out as a coachbuilder until 1936 she launched her own S-Type with a Ford V8 engine. Subsequently, she supplied bodies for Austin-Healey and fully assembled the Volvo P1800 and Sundeam Tiger sports cars. Jensen's most famous developments are the Interceptor three-door coupe (1966-1976) and its four-wheel drive version FF (1966-1971), which were powered by American Chrysler V8 engines.

The prototype, unveiled at the London Motor Show in October 1953, had an aluminum body, but for the production version the firm opted for a more modern and practical material, leaving only the doors aluminum. A unique feature of the Jensen 541 was the radiator grille with a temperature-controlled louver that automatically rotated when the engine was hot. The entire front end, including the headlights and fenders, was lifted up for access to the engine compartment from all sides.

Most of the technical components for the Jensen 541 were supplied by other companies. The frame was borrowed from the Austin A70, but with a modified front suspension with Panhard rod springs and a leading rear axle with semi-elliptical springs. Under the hood was an in-line 6-cylinder OHV engine from Austin Sheerline with three SU carburetors, a volume of 3993 cm3 and a power of 135 hp. It provided a top speed of 175 km / h.

Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe by Corsica '1931

Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe

The name of the automotive pioneer Gottlieb Daimler was used in their names by three independent companies: German DMG (later Daimler-Benz), Austrian Austro-Daimler and British Daimler Company.

The latter was founded in 1896 in Coventry by Daimler's colleague Frederick Simms, and then entered the Lawson business empire, after the collapse of which it gained independence. From 1910 to 1959 Daimler Company belonged to the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA), and since 1960 has been a luxury division of Jaguar Cars, and with it has been part of the British Leyland (1968-1984) and Ford Motor Company (1990-2007).

Design Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe

In the first half of the 20th century, there was no more prestigious car manufacturer in Britain than Daimler. At that time, it was often said that Daimler cars were bought only by real Aristocrats.

Design Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe

As the official supplier of cars for British monarchs in the first half of the 20th century, Daimler was in no way inferior to its main competitor Rolls-Royce. In response to the new Rolls-Royce Phantom introduced in 1925, she developed an even more advanced and stately model, the Daimler Double Six.

Design Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe

This car was the final of Daimler's Knight series, dating back to 1908. For 20 years, Daimler vehicles have been remarkably quiet in their powertrains, which was unattainable for manufacturers with a traditional poppet valve design.

Design Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe

In Knight's spool gas distribution system, the valve function was performed by sleeves moving up and down with inlet and outlet holes cut into them, and a camshaft with pushers replaced two chain-driven rods rotating in opposite directions that controlled the spools. The efficiency of such a system was not lower than that of conventional overhead valve engines of that time, and the disadvantages in the form of high oil consumption and a plume of thick smoke left by the car were not yet given much importance.

Design Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe

At a time when 6-cylinder engines were still installed on Rolls-Royce, Daimler decided to attract buyers with something more exotic - a V12 engine. Its chief engineer, Lawrence Pomeroy, connected two 25/85 HP inline 6-cylinder blocks at a 60 ° angle with a common aluminum crankcase and a semi-bearing crankshaft, with each block having its own intake and exhaust manifolds, carburetor, water pump and ignition system.

He also replaced the cast iron liners with steel liners, reducing oil consumption. The result is a unique 7136 cc V12 engine with 81.5 mm bore and 114 mm stroke, which develops 150 hp. and at idle at 150 rpm did not make a single sound, except for the ticking of spark plugs and a slight whistle of carburetors. The powertrain was mounted on a standard ladder frame with semi-elliptical leaf springs, mechanical drum brakes with a Dewandre vacuum booster and an unsynchronized 4-speed single-plate dry clutch transmission.

Under the hood Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe

The model, dubbed the Daimler Double Six 50, went on sale in 1926 as a chassis in two wheelbases: 3950 mm (Type O and Type W) and 4140 mm (Type P), priced at £ 1850 or £ 1950. With factory bodies, a sedan or limousine, the finished car cost £ 2,450 or £ 2,800, respectively, but the client could order the body from a third-party atelier.

Interior Daimler Double Six 50 Sport Drophead Coupe

Some later Double Six models had a low, sporty chassis, like the Corsica convertible shown here. The main external difference between the Double Six and the 6-cylinder models was its wide radiator grille, divided into two parts by a vertical chrome line.

Of the approximately 500 released in 1926-1936. There were only a few 12-cylinder cars for the 7.1-liter Daimler Double Six 50, while the rest were sold in cheaper versions. Since 1927, the Daimler Double Six 30 was available with a 3744 cc (100 hp) engine and wheelbases ranging from 3327 to 3683 mm, costing only £ 1300 for a standard sedan. In 1930, two more versions appeared: Double Six 30/40 (5296 cm3) and Double Six 40/50 (6511 cm3), which had a cylinder block made of light alloy, a fluid coupling with a 4-stage Wilson preselector and hydraulic shock absorbers. In 1934 the company introduced a new line of 8-cylinder Daimler, and the Double Six gradually became a thing of the past.

BMW 2002 Hommage Concept '2016

BMW 2002 Hommage

The debut of the concept car is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the BMW 02 series, which later became one of the most famous models in the history of the brand. The BMW 2002 Hommage Coupé is based on the current BMW M2 model, but the body of the car has been thoroughly redesigned: the concept has embossed sidewalls with wide wheel arches, an original front design inspired by the classic model and characteristic direction indicators above the headlights.

The BMW 02 series, which was the predecessor of the third series, debuted in 1966 - it was a two-door BMW 1602 with a 1.6-liter engine. Later, a two-liter version of the BMW 2002 appeared in the range, variants with cabriolet and hatchback bodies, the brand's first turbocharged car BMW 2002 turbo and other modifications. Zero second cars were a massive success and laid the foundation for the brand's driver reputation.

Corvette Moray

Chevrolet is the largest and first-ranked division of the General Motors Group (GM). It was formed in 1911 as an independent Chevrolet Motor Car Company, co-founded by industrial tycoon William Durant and race car driver Louis Chevrolet. By creating a new venture, Durant set himself the goal of regaining control of the GM corporation. When he succeeded, in 1918 Chevrolet became part of GM. Initially, relatively expensive cars were produced under the Chevrolet brand, but in the 1920s. GM President Alfred Sloan put Chevrolet at the bottom of its price hierarchy and consolidated its budget brand image from the "low-cost three" (Ford, Chevrolet and Plymouth). However, at the end of the 20s. The Chevrolet was powered by a Stovebolt 6-cylinder engine, much more powerful than Ford's 4-cylinder engine. As a result, Chevrolet was able to surpass Ford in sales and take the leading position in the American market.

For an immediate feeling of fresh-air motoring you can replaced the B door by a central arch-shaped steel structure to which the two wings are hinged.
