Some of the best spots from Car Week. Certainly no shortage of hypercars this year, although the odder cars like the TVRs were great to see too! ______________________________________ #carweek #monterey #california #carmelcalifornia #bugatti #ferrari #mclaren #lamborghini #detomaso #tvr #rinspeed #carspotting #blakejphoto (at Monterey, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chq_AGvuqZF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

thoughts on 4WS? everybody and their mom knows the prelude,but would you be interested in talking about some of the other interesting vehicles with stuff like this?

or maybe other methods of decreasing turn radius?

I love the “everybody and their mom knows the Prelude”. Truly the embodiment of the silicate chemistry XKCD.

But sure! I can’t really say much about 4WS beyond “It’s when the rear tires steer opposite to the fronts to decrease turn radius at low speeds or when they steer with the fronts to increase stability at high speeds, and it really helps make cars be and feel more agile, which is why you see it on the new Range Rover and why you will probably see it in many other cars now that they are all ballooning out of proportion. Cool! Don’t park too close to curbs tho or your rear end will kick out into them and curb your wheels”, so let’s move on to… less orthodox ways to decrease turn radius.

You’d included a GIF of the Rivian “tank turn” which they were going to include in their models only to then not, but I took the liberty to place it next to a GIF of the BYD YangWang U8 showing it off at the latest and incredibly exciting Japan Mobility Salon [for some reason this post is stuck on the old editor so pretend that link is blue] to offer suitable accompaniement

(start at 1:36 if it doesn’t do so automatically)

Hope this will do in lieu of commentary because all I could offer is a demonstration of how many times I can type “what the fuck” in a row. Oh and if that wasn’t enough they also showed one do this.

I am genuinely pretty sure I came up with such a wheel design and then thought “no, this is stupid and absurd, forget I thought that” and then BYD was like “lol, lmao, rotfl even”.

But if you have wheels that don’t make you fear a robot uprising and surfaces that grip too hard to permit that Tchaikovskian bullshit, what are you to do?

Well, turn radius is a function of steering angle and wheelbase, so you can just alter those! Now, one would think the distance between the centers of your wheels would be pretty tough to alter, and indeed, it is. Well, it is pretty tough to alter without getting a wall involved and giving you more problems than you solved, if you know what I’m saying. Let alone to alter it reversibly. But some have done it! Enter Rinspeed, Swiss Porsche tuner turned concept car maker whose staying afloat I genuinely cannot explain, and more specifically its early-00s concept the Presto, a concept car that, once you realize you cannot for the life of you find four people willing to get near that horrendous front let alone in the thing, has the ability to cut your losses and accordionize itself.

“Yahchoo!”

Nice, Ron. And sure, the windshield is borderline nominal, the doors were sacrificed to the gimmick altar so one assumes you must get in Hazzard-style without even having a roof to paint something racist on, and it’s probably illegal in many fun new ways, but at least it’s gotta be a TON of fun.

You know what I suddenly feel like we should move on to something else. How about this thing?

“The Mk1 Golf?” Almost - as seen by the five bolt wheels, different bumpers and barely visible side vents, while this was an ordinary Mk1 Golf, Italo-Swiss tuning house Sbarro took care of that problem by shoving a Porsche 3.3L behind the front seats (what is this, Renault? [again, please record yourself saying “that link is blue” and play that recording back repeatedly over a spinning spiral GIF]). But the thing is, Franco Sbarro saw the whole ordeal and thought “Ah, but the engine that we put right in front of a the trunk lid is going to need accessing at some point. I must think of the most rational way to accomplish that”, and then made the car fucking open in two. What is it with Switzerland and cars doing this shit.

So yeah. If you were willing to spend an absolute fortune to make your Volkswagen Golf a positive deathtrap, you could, through an incredible and unimaginably dodgy feat of engineering, shorten your wheelbase by a measure I measured at comfortably under two inches. Now, I cannot think that makes much difference in turning radius, but hey, I’ve seen masculinities built and shattered over less.

Fortunately, the wheelbase is just one of the determining factors of turning radius, and the other, steering angle, is a pretty popular thing to increase through aftermarket components because it’s very important in drifting: as explained in this brilliant-as-always article from Speedhunters, since drifting consists of holding your car at a big angle relative to where you’re going, if you want to maintain that big angle you kind of need the front wheels to be able to be at a big angle relative to where the car is pointing.

Unfortunately, your steering wheel doesn’t stop turning just because it feels you got to turn it long enough already - it stops because the wheels are about to hit something. So in serious drift cars the front wheels have to be pushed outwards to keep them from encounter car as they turn. But of course, there is an alternative to pushing the wheels out - pushing the wheel wells in! That, in fact, is the technique employed by the personal driftcar of world champion Piotr Więcek...

....no, not the 800hp S15, I said the one he drives for fun.

Perfection. Indeed, since the last generation Twingo shares its platform with the Smart Forfour which itself shares bits and bobs with the historically rear-engined Smart Fortwo, the engine is in the rear, meaning the front wheels have nothing in between to stop them from turning outrageously wide, making its turning circle great for city driving, city parking, and apparently tandem drifting with an 800hp S15.

But I cannot talk about ways to facilitate street parking without talking about the first thing I ever received by email, in January 2011, or more than twelve years ago (yeah I know, sorry): a video of this car.

Apparently, it was an idea that had existed since the 50s, too!

I find this to be a really clever idea - you already need to bring the spare tire around anyway, and you already have a shaft spinning in that direction because that’s what connects the engine to the differential! Unfortunately though, nowadays most cars -especially the space-conscious ones- are front wheel drive, which would make implementing what already was a packaging nightmare to begin with take up even more space, probably to the point of being counterproductive. Unless perhaps you put the spare in front of the engine and redesigned the differential to *spends the next six months thinking about this*

Vehicle mode ideas for future Terrans.

We know that the Terrans are a species created in the Earthspark series. Where we see the Terrans learning to choose their vehicle mode

In case new Terrans are born in the future, I started to think of some vehicle ideas that I would like to see, and in this case they are from discarded prototype cars, that is, humanity scrapped the manufacturing project. But perhaps they can serve as inspiration for the designs of the new Terrans.

They probably think that it is impossible for it to happen, but remember that Twtich based its design on a drone created by Wheeljack, that is, a vehicle mode that cannot be found anywhere else.

Here are a few examples of vehicles that could be used as inspiration for Transformers Earthspark:

L’Automodule

Created in the 70s in Europe by the French engineer Jean-Pierre Ponthieu. This is a spherical vehicle for 3 people and with 4 wheels mounted on a kind of hydraulic arms. The variable base of the tires allowed the L'Automodule to adjust its height to travel on a variety of terrains.

Considered at the time an absurd idea, today thanks to technological advances this idea could be used in the series with an improved design.

I think this form would be ideal for Jawbreaker but time will tell.

Land Glider

Scrapped by the Nissan company in 2009. It was an electric car for 2 people, with the passenger seat behind the driver. Unlike other vehicles, its steering system would be similar to that of a motorcycle.

Rinspeed X Dream

First revealed in 1999 at the Geneva Auto Show, Switzerland, this silver car is like no other. The concept is simple: it's a convertible sport pickup but it has a hydraulic crane at the rear capable of deploying a hovercraft.

While it sounds ridiculous, the hovercraft could probably be redesigned for the series to make it more modern and useful for the Terran or the Maltos, especially the kids.

Also, it wouldn't be the first time that the Transformers have that mini-vehicle design, an example is Soundwave with his cassettes. So I guess this vehicle could be used for a Terran.

Fuya-Jo

Debuting at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1999, the Fuya-Jo was Honda's attempt to diversify corporate-looking vehicles. It was basically designed to be a party car.

The low floor made it easy to get in, plus it was stain-proof and slip-resistant. The interior was designed with the necessary features to accommodate a DJ in the rear and the doors had huge speakers to ensure a party.

I imagine it for a party Terran and that he can compete with Soundwave using his speakers to combat the sonic waves of the decepticon.

Although I could also use him for the design of the forgotten transformer called Blaster.

Italdesign Machimoto

First shown in Turin in 1986. It was a combination between a motorcycle and a car built on the basis of a Volkswagen Golf. Passengers sit motorcycle-style and the vehicle can even be expanded to increase capacity to accommodate up to 9 people.

Its steering mode can be chosen by the driver, that is, he could choose whether to use a steering wheel or a motorcycle handlebar.

Another unique aspect of this vehicle is that it could be expanded further to have more space, that is, add more seats.

PS: This idea was shared because there is a rumor that we will see more Terrans in the series, so there are more chances of seeing new vehicle mode designs like what happened with Hashtag and Nightshade.

1 of 1 Lamborghini Diablo 5.7 Rinspeed in Rainbow color

Not much is known about this car. Apparently, the engine has been tuned to produce 560 BHP by enlarging the capacity to 6.0L.

The car was made for the prince of Monaco but then ended up in Belgrade, Serbia where it was last seen 14 years ago.

What Head Shaver for Men Says About Your Personal Style - The Pros and Cons!

Once you’ve made the decision to go shaver, it’s time to find out what kind of head you have. There are many different types of men and shaving their heads is one of them. So how do you know which head shaver for men is right for you? Let’s take a look at some things that you need to consider before making a purchase.

What to Look for in a Shaver For Men?

First things first, let’s talk about what you’re trying to achieve with your new shaver. Every shaver has different preferences when it comes to the type of hair they’re able to remove. Another thing to keep in mind is the style of the shaver. If you’re looking for a more technical shaver, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you’re more of a “me first” kind of guy, and you don’t mind the occasional “ouch” or “ouch” (yes, I know, you hate that too), then a shaver with a straight edge should be just right for you!

What head shaver for men is right for you?

Before you pick out a brand, it’s important to do your research to find out what kind of head you have. There are many different types of men and shaving their heads is one of them. So how do you know which head shaver for men is right for you? Let’s take a look at some things that you need to consider before making a purchase. Is Your Hair Thin or Thick? If you have thin hair, you may be able to handle the thinner models with ease. On the other hand, if you have thick hair, you may want to look elsewhere. Many shavers, especially those with some experience, are able to more or less handle any type of hair. You Need a Shaver That’s Right for You Even though there are many different types of men, the general consensus among experts is that the best shavers for men are those with flexible, relatively short heads. This is because it allows you to easily pull the hair up and off the head in tight curls and waves, while also making it easier to get between the shoulder blades and under the arms. Think of it like this, if you have long hair, you’re going to have a much harder time getting it up and off your head. If you have short hair, it’s much easier.

The Best Head Shaver for Men: Top 3 Pick

Unfortunately, there’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to the best head shaver for men. The best shaver for you will depend on a number of factors, including your hair type, preferences, personal style, and budget. But, in general, here are the top three picks from head shavers for men in 2019: Philips Norelco Shaver 3100 The Philips Norelco shaver is one of the best-selling shavers on the market, and for good reason. It’s a great shaver for any man, and the 3100 model is specifically designed to deliver the closest and smoothest shave possible. It features a pivoting head that can be rotated 120 degrees, allowing you to direct the hair straight up or down. Braun Shaver series 3100A The Braun Shaver series 3100A is a great shaver for both men and women. It’s a “universal” shaver, meaning it can handle any type of hair, even if it’s really, really long. It has a pivoting head that can be rotated 120 degrees, allowing you to direct the hair up or down. Rinspeed Beard and Chest Shaver The Rinspeed Beard and Chest Shaver is a very versatile shaver, and it’s great for men of all ages. It can handle thick or thin hair, and it has a pivoting head that can be rotated 120 degrees, allowing you to direct the hair up or down.

How to Find the Right Head Shaver For You

Now that we’ve gone over what to look for in a shaver for men, let’s look at how to actually find the right shaver for you: Go online - There are lots of online forums and communities where you can ask questions and learn from other people who’ve had similar experiences to yours. Look for brands with a reputation for quality - There are lots of cheap knock-off brands that sell on Amazon, eBay, and other online marketplaces. Don’t buy from strangers - If you’re not comfortable online, then go to a store and try on different models before making a purchase. Meet the brand - Once you’ve purchased a shaver, try it out and see what you think. Read customer reviews - When you’re deciding between models, look for shavers with four or five-star reviews on Amazon. Look for brands with a reputation for quality - You don’t want to buy a shaver on Amazon that you won’t be able to use. Look for brands with a reputation for quality - You don’t want to buy a shaver on Amazon that you won’t be able to use.

The Cons of Each Head Shaver

When it comes to the cons of each head shaver for men, let’s start with the cheapest model. Braun Shaver series 3100A - This shaver costs less than $30, which is pretty affordable for a model that does the work of a $300 shaver. It is rechargeable, which is nice, but it only has one speed, so you’ll probably want to use it multiple times in one day. Philips Norelco Shaver 3100 - This shaver costs more than $80, and though it’s a good shaver, we wouldn’t recommend it for regular use. It doesn’t have a pivoting head, so if you’re looking for a closer shave, this isn’t the shaver for you. Rinspeed Beard and Chest Shaver - This shaver costs more than $130, and though it’s a good shaver, we wouldn’t recommend it for regular use. It doesn’t have a pivoting head, so if you’re looking for a closer shave, this isn’t the shaver for you.

Bottom Line

Now that you’ve got a good idea about what head shaver for men is right for you, it’s time to shop around for the best deal possible. We found that our top three pick for best head shaver for men are all great options. The Braun Shaver series 3100A is affordable and offers a great close shave, while the Philips Norelco Shaver 3100 and Rinspeed Beard and Chest Shaver are both mid-range models that offer good value for money. There’s no one-size-fits-all shaver, so the best head shaver for you will depend on your personal style, preferences, and budget. When you find the shaver that meets all of these requirements, congratulations! You’ve found the perfect shaver for you.
