ze samo tale feltna je neponovljiva avtomobilisticna znanost, ki ma res zanimivo zgodovino, narejena je pa iz kevlarja in karbonskih vlaken, rob pa je bil ojacan z materialom ki ga ima vodstvo lancie/speedline-a shranjeno v trezorju.









omfg kaj bi dal da bi bla tole moja garaza


Rallying's equivalent of Star Wars was unveiled in Bologna at the weekend when Lancia's Group S project made an unexpected appearance during the Memorial Bettega event.
The totally carbon fibre machine (from wheel rims to roof)has already been tested in secret and the Turin engineers were greatly impressed with their latest creation.

Only the regulations for rallying would have pegged the weight at 930kgs, but the new components represent a saving of up to 40% in some areas.


Even the wheels are made of the latest materials. Speedline have manufactured the rims in a special project with Abarth, Enichem and IdC, aimed at producing a rim that would withstand the demands of gravel rallying and also be much lighter than the ubiquitous magnesium rims. The finished article is now 40 per cent lighter than those in current use, and apparently more than capable of withstanding the stresses imposed by the power output. The rims are made of carbon fabric impregnated with epoxy resin, with an aluminium honeycomb for the flange. In order to cope with the high temperatures developed by the ventilated Brembo disc brakes, an adhesive film has been used while the edges of the rims have been strengthened with a secret component. The total weight of an 8x16ins gravel rim is a mere 6kgs.


To power the car. Fiat have patented a brand new cylinder head. As a twin turbocharged engine was being used, Fiat had to revise the layout of the cylinder head to improve the suitability for the set up. Normally, the inlet valves are on one side of the layout, exhaust valves on the other, but this makes a twin turbo engine difficult to produce. On the new unit, the four valves of each cylinder are laid out in a cross pattern with the inlet and exhaust valves alternated on each side of the cylinder head. An exhaust manifold can therefore be placed on each side of the engine with the inlet manifolds entering from the center, either independently or combined into one. The system is known as the double reverse flow and, as the intakes combine into one near the valve, leaving just three gas flows for each cylinder, the head has been christened the Triflux.



ce bi ta avto dobu takrat zeleno luc bi pojedu vse.
tocno to bi se zgodil tut danes ce bi ga ob bok postavil sedanjim specialkam.






"I hope that we can maybe use the car one day," considered Lombard; in Bologna. "It is already tested and is 'Bene, bene'. Perhaps Group S turn in three or four years but, whatever happens, we have improved our knowledge of the technology and that can only be good for the future. It is possible to learn new things that can help."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_ECV je napisal/-a:The Lancia ECV is a prototype Group S rally car that Lancia had built to replace the Delta S4 in World Rally Championship competition in 1987. However, Group B and Group S cars were banned from competition by the FIA in late 1986 due to safety concerns and the ECV never raced. Lancia instead developed the Group A Lancia Delta.

The car originally produced over 600 horsepower (447 kW) from a 1759 cc twin-turbocharged engine. However, Group S rules would have artificially limited the car's output to 300 hp (224 kW) to limit speeds.

The car made extensive use of the composite materials Kevlar and carbon fibre to save weight and add strength. Overall the car weighed 930 kg.

The car featured a new Martini colour-scheme, replacing the S4's white bodywork with red-based scheme. Lancia used the new scheme on its competition cars in 1987.

aja pa glede driftanja;
avto je tezk v osnovi pod 600kg. ce mu das v sprednji konec 400 kil in nastavis rwd, a bo pol driftal al nebo?

sj un hachiroku je legendarna drift masina, sam se vseen nemores primerjat space shuttla z uss Enterprise :P warp9 počez in to

S4 je bila včeraj v Ilirski in naj bi imela 650+ hp je pa zgledal in se slišal tako hudo, da si samo potem pa ... v glavnem pospeševanje pa na nivoju formul, samo driftat pa ni hotu (a sem za to dal 2500sit )
