Obsolete Car Ideas That Didn’t Last: From Electric to Turbine Cars and Transparent Roof Panels

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 20, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

At first I thought it was a good idea, but…

Both the auto industry and consumers are capricious.

Models, body styles, new features and technologies can quickly become obsolete as soon as they emerge. Also, an idea that seemed great when it was announced can become obsolete a few years later.

Introducing cars, brands, and technologies whose ideas were not bad but were not accepted.

From Mercedes-Benz pickup trucks to Toyota’s youth sub-brand, here are some seemingly “good ideas” that have disappeared.

Electric car (1900s)

Since the turn of the 20th century, electric vehicles have seen exceptional sales both in the United States and abroad. It was smoother than a petrol car in its class and much easier to operate. Henry Ford’s wife, Clara, did not drive the Model T, but drove the Detroit Electric Model 47 (pictured) on a daily basis.

In the 1910s, internal combustion engine technology advanced rapidly, and the spread of electric starters and other devices greatly improved the usability of gasoline vehicles. As fuel prices fall, the share of battery-powered electric vehicles will decline. It completely disappeared in the 1920s, and it was only in the late 1990s that it began to attract a great deal of attention again.

Electric car (1900s)

Turbine car (1940s-1960s)

In the 1950s, automobiles powered by turbines emerged as a promising alternative to conventional piston engines. Intrepid test drivers achieved a top speed of 240km/h on a prototype Rover Jet 1, and the lessons learned were those of British Racing Motors’ turbine-powered car for the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans. Helped in development. Since it was an experimental racing car, it did not officially participate in the race, but if it had participated, it would have finished 8th.

In the United States, Chrysler famously handed over 50 coupes (pictured), called Turbine, to customers to evaluate the performance of its turbine technology. He ran into many of the same problems that the Rover experienced, but after quietly tweaking the turbines into the 1970s, he threw a spoonful.

Transparent roof panel (1950s)

In the 1950s, when aerospace design and automotive design merged, many American cars had fins. Similarly, the semi-spherical transparent roof panel attracted a lot of attention at the auto show. The design is reminiscent of a fighter canopy.

It was often used in bold futuristic concept cars, such as General Motors’ Firebird I (pictured), introduced in 1953, but concerns over manufacturing, safety and cost prevented it from being introduced into production models. was not easy. Designers had fallen out of love with the canopy in the 1960s, but Pininfarina had plans to bring it back to life in modern times.

In Comparison: Driving Experience of the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 SE and Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 20, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Fun different from naturally aspirated Porsche

The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 SE is always dense. If the tachometer needle is raised sharply, the volume of the tenor increases, and the coupe with the whale tail on its back suddenly increases its speed. The ride is surprisingly supple. The chassis grips the road.

If you handle it too carefully in corners, it will turn to understeer. If you intentionally give the accelerator pedal an angle, you can enjoy the unique maneuverability of turning from the rear axle. It is sucked into the apex of the corner at high speed and fills the driver with a strong sense of unity.

Blue Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo and red Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

The same goes for the rear-engined Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo. A turbocharger adds power to the 2.5L V6 engine, and the steering is sharp. The suspension is tight and you can trace the line as you aim. However, the characteristics are much stronger than the 911 Carrera 3.2.

The 5-speed manual has a long ratio and is suitable for high-speed driving that utilizes thick torque. In winding where you want to suppress understeer, it is necessary to anticipate the increase in boost pressure. Even with the same RR, there is a different enjoyment from the naturally aspirated Porsche.

As the modern styling by Yves Regal, the designer who also worked on the Renault 5 Turbo, evokes, it runs comfortably on the highway. With a discreet roar from behind the driver.

Air resistance is surprisingly low, with a Cd value of 0.28 for the naturally aspirated GTA. The GTA V6 turbo, which added intake items, increased to 0.30, but the 911 at the same time was 0.39.

Impression that seems to be a junior supercar

The interior was designed by Marcello Gandini. The leather-covered seats are luxurious, and the cassette tape stereo unit has a 5-range equalizer. As a rival of the 911 Carrera 3.2, it is not inferior both inside and outside.

Underneath its sleek exterior hides an updated 1971 coupe A310 chassis. Like the Alpine before it, the FRP body was glued to the steel structure.

Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo (1984-1991/UK spec)

Compared to the A310, the engine mounting position is shifted 40mm forward. The front/rear weight distribution was 38.1:61.9, which was slightly improved.

Both the front and rear suspensions are double wishbone suspensions with an anti-dive design, and the dampers are exclusive. The tire size is 195/50 at the front and 225/50 at the rear, giving the impression of a junior supercar.

The PRV V6 engine jointly developed by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo on the rear is also inherited from the previous generation. Even so, Renault proceeded with development with the aim of competing on an equal footing with sports cars such as Porsche, whose performance was advancing.

In fact, the avant-garde looking Alpine GTA V6 Turbo had become an important model for the company, thanks in part to its motorsport achievements and the technical reputation it had built up over the years. Alongside the Renault 25 Turbo, a 5-door hatchback with the same engine.

The Alpine GTA V6 turbo is equipped with an intercooler in the 2.5L PRV unit. The intake and exhaust were originally designed, fuel injection was given, and 18ps and 0.4kg-m were increased from the 25 turbo.

As a 2+2 coupe, a moving experience with little dissatisfaction

Forced 1-year Car Loans and Lies: Scandals at Big Motor Stores

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 11, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Forced 1-year loan for customers who wish to purchase cash

In early August, JACCS, a major consumer credit company, announced that it would stop accepting new car loans at all Big Motor stores.

“We have made a comprehensive judgment in response to the series of scandals in big motors,” but when I confirmed with the JACCS public relations representative, “Since it is an individual case, it has not been announced in a press release, etc. However, we have informed the media who have asked us that we are no longer accepting applications.”

In Big Motor, most of them had a real interest rate of 9.9% + the number of loans “120 times”.

The company is said to have accounted for nearly half of the loan companies used by Big Motors. Customers who have already taken out a loan with JACCS will not be affected, just because new applications have been suspended.

Not only new cars, but also used cars, when it comes to shopping for several million yen, most people take loans instead of cash. Interest rates are generally higher for used cars than for new cars.

Banks with strict screening and complicated procedures have low interest rates (around 2 to 4%), while car loans from credit companies with relatively loose screening usually have interest rates of around 5 to 10%.

In Big Motor, most of them had a real interest rate of 9.9% + the number of loans “120 times”.

There is also a fraudulent case of “I was forced to make a loan even though I wanted to buy cash, and I lost a lot.”

Mr. B, who purchased a domestic compact car at Big Motor A in Kanto, is one of them.

“The price was about 1 million yen, so I wanted to pay in cash. Then the sales person said, ‘The total payment amount won’t change, so could you take out a loan for one year?'”

“I thought, ‘If the total payment amount doesn’t change, I can make a loan with a relationship,’ so I decided to take out a loan from a credit company and pay it, but after a year, an unknown cost was added. I was supposed to pay a little over 1.2 million yen.”

“When I called the store to say, ‘I’m not talking about it!’

“300,000 yen free option if you make a loan” is also a lie

There are other similar cases.

Mr. D, who purchased a domestically produced SUV for 1.5 million yen at the Big Motor C store in Kyushu, has suffered from Big Motor’s lies.

“I had about 1,500,000 yen saved up to buy a car, and I wasn’t sure whether to pay it all in cash or take out a loan.”

“Then, the sales representative of store C said, ‘Could you take out a loan for one year? If it’s 12 months, the interest rate (*because it’s an add-on interest rate, the interest rate increases with each installment)’ is cheap.” Ta”

“Furthermore, I said, ‘After one year, you can pay the rest in full. I will add options for 300,000 yen, such as drive recorders and new tires, for free.'”

“The exchange terms were attractive, so I took out a loan accordingly. In conclusion, the 300,000 yen option was listed as a fee in the quotation.”

“When I confirmed with the sales person that there must have been some kind of mistake, he said, ‘We didn’t promise a free option.

After that, Mr. D tried to talk to the salesman of the C store several times, but he was told that he should have confirmed it in the first estimate, and that there was no evidence, and he escaped.

When Mr. D said that he did not remember checking the quotation at the time of signing the contract, he said, “Didn’t you check it together on the tablet screen?” While doing so, I remembered what I had shown.

I didn’t have time to check them one by one. So, I requested “I want you to print out the quotation”, but I was told that “they don’t print it out”, and the salesman said, “This is free here” for the option contents for 300,000 yen. I remember scrolling even faster.

Several illegal activities can be confirmed up to this point, but Katsuyama, who also suffered damage at the Big Motor Kitahon store in Saitama Prefecture, was limited to 120 loans. *According to the person’s strong request, the real name will be made public.

What do you mean?

“You can only choose a loan 120 times” is a completely illegal contract
