Thread: Mercedes-Benz V-8-mootoriga B-klassi ehitatud praktikandid

Neile, kes olid ei armunud eilne uudiseid vesiniku töötav Mercedes-Benz B-klass F-CELL autod World Tour tasaarvestus trio poolt peaks tõesti nagu Tänane uudis Saksamaalt.

Peter herilane, plant manager Mercedes-Benz tehase Rastatt, kui B-klassi, tulid puhas projekti tehniline kutseõppe osakond. Võiksid praktikandid mahu V-8 mootor sõidu tagarataste, B-klassi auto mis on tavaliselt 1. 5 või 2. 0-liitrine 4-silindriline mootor sõidu esirataste muutmata radikaalselt auto välimust?

Mõõdulint kinnitati seal tuba. B 200 CDI tehti leidnud doonor ja 388 hobujõudu 5. 5-liitrine V [värv = black] [COLOR = black] ühendatud seitse-käiguline automaatkäigukast -8 oli shoehorned. Tagatelje tulid mõne vanema 210-seeria E-klassi. Ümberkujundamise kõige keerulisem osa oli ilmselt muutmisega, rooli.

Ühekordne auto on dubleeritud ka B55. Mercedes-Benz praktikandid, mida muuta B-klassi auto grupp arvestama, See kiirendab 0-60 mph alla kuue sekundiga, kui auto on ainult 400 lbs raskemad kui varude B-klassi auto. Tema kahtlane kui auto kunagi saanud tootmise sõidukit, kuid see on kindlasti tore näha praktikantide kogeda midagi täpselt vastupidine kütuseelementide B-klassis F-CELL, elektriautod.

Those of you who were not enamored by yesterdays news about the trio of hydrogen-fueled Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL cars setting off on a World Tour should really like todays news from Germany.

Peter Wasp, the plant manager at the Mercedes-Benz factory in Rastatt, where the B-Class is made, came up with a neat project for the technical vocational training department. Could the trainees fit a V-8 engine, driving the rear wheels, in a B-Class car that normally has a 1. 5 or 2. 0-liter 4-cylinder engine driving the front wheels without radically altering the look of the car?

A tape measure confirmed there was room. A donor B 200 CDI was found and a 388 horsepower 5. 5-liter V[COLOR=black][COLOR=black]-8 coupled to a seven-speed automatic transmission was shoehorned in. The rear axle came from an older 210-series E-Class. Apparently the most difficult part of the transformation was modifying the steering.

The one-off car has been dubbed a B55. The group of Mercedes-Benz trainees that modified the B-Class car reckon it will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under six seconds as the car is only 400 lbs heavier than a stock B-Class car. Its doubtful if the car will ever become a production vehicle but it is surely nice to see the trainees to experience something the exact opposite of the fuel cell B-Class F-CELL electric cars.
