Il-karozzi dawriet 125 sena

[Road&Track]

Hawn factoid divertenti li reċentement wasal b'korteżija ta 'stqarrija għall-istampa Mercedes-Benz. Fid-29 ta 'Jannar, 1886, Carl Benz ippreżenta applikazzjoni f'Berlin, il-Ġermanja, għal privattiva fuq il-karozza bil-mutur ġdida tiegħu bi tliet roti. Din id-data, skont il-Mercedes, issa waslet biex titqies bħala l-għeluq uffiċjali tal-karozzi.

Bħalek, tlift ukoll fuq porzjon tal-kejk ta' għeluq sninek. Madankollu, personalment kelli ċ-ċans li nsir midħla ta 'Benz Motorwagen replika matul l-ispettaklu awtomatiku ta 'Frankfurt tal-2007. U fil-każ li ma temminnix, iċċekkja r-ritratt tal-sieħeb bespectacled li jsuq wieħed hawn fid-daħla tal-Wikipedija Motorwagens.

Mercedes-Benz reċentement ipproduċiet ġirja limitata ta 'dawn it-tliet roti li jidhru delikati. Imħaddem b'0. Magna b'ċilindru wieħed ta '9-bhp u mmexxija permezz ta' laċċ, malajr indunajt kemm kellhom ikunu b'saħħithom dawk is-sewwieqa bikrija. Luxuries bħal brejkijiet anti-lock, a/c u anke cup holders (ħafna inqas saqaf!) kienu triq twila u twila fil-futur meta din il-karozza kienet ġdida.

Is-sewqan tal-Motorwagen mhux dejjem qed jintimida, grazzi prinċipalment għal veloċità massima ta '10 mph u t-trażmissjoni mmexxija miċ-ċinturin b'veloċità waħda. Tista 'tidħol f'wisq problemi meta l-veloċità moderata tiegħek hija komparabbli ma' jog mgħaġġel. Imbagħad għal darb'oħra, m'hemm xejn li jżommok fuq l-aħjar imġieba tiegħek bħal twissija li l-istering malajr wisq jikkawża li l-karozza tinqaleb.

Heres a fun factoid that recently arrived courtesy of a Mercedes-Benz press release. On January 29, 1886, Carl Benz filed an application in Berlin, Germany, for a patent on his new three-wheeled motor car. This date, according to Mercedes, has now come to be considered the official birthday of the automobile.

Like you, I also missed out on a slice of the birthday cake. However, I did personally have the chance to get acquainted with a Benz Motorwagen replica during the 2007 Frankfurt auto show. And in case you dont believe me, check out the photo of the bespectacled fellow driving one here at the Motorwagens Wikipedia entry.

Mercedes-Benz has recently produced a limited run of these delicate-looking three-wheelers. Powered by a 0. 9-bhp single-cylinder engine and steered via tiller, I soon realized how sturdy those early motorists must have been. Luxuries like anti-lock brakes, a/c and even cup holders (much less a roof!) were a long, long way into the future when this car was new.

Driving the Motorwagen isnt always intimidating, thanks mainly to a 10-mph top speed and the single-speed belt-driven transmission. You cant get into too much trouble when your cruising speed is comparable to a brisk jog. Then again, theres nothing to keep you on your best behavior like a warning that steering too quickly will cause the car to tip over.
