  • The Story of the Rear Engined Passenger Car
    The Story of the Rear Engined Passenger car Rumbler Troftenwagen The concept of engine position in the earliest cars is irrelevant as the passengers usually sat on top of the machinery and layout of the latter was dependent on the means of transmitting the engine power to the rear wheels. This led to compact but high cars, but due to the very limited performance was not unduly unstable. Because it made the best use of the technology of the time, the front engine rear wheel drive layout was to become standard about the turn of the century. This allowed a small reduction in height as speed increased and stability became important. For the next thirty years the front engined, rear wheel drive layout was refined resulting in a decrease in height but increasing intrusion of the machinery into the passenger space and the rear seat passengers located over the rear axle. The idea of locating the engine at the rear of the car to overcome this problem was conceived in the nineteen twenties and developed in the thirties. The layout reached a peak of popularity in the nineteen sixties, then fell out of use except for sporting cars after the rise in the popularity of the front wheel drive car. During the period when rear engines cars were produced in millions and one case tens of millions, the engine was usually located outside the wheelbase. It is the cars of this period that I am reviewing here. The vast majority were light cars but there were some notable exceptions as you will see in the following text.The earliest rear engined cars would today be classified as mid engined cars, such as the Rumbler Troftenwagen and the light cars mentioned below.

  • The Road That Led to the Beetle
    The Road that Led to the Beetle There is no denying that the Volkswagen Beetle had a great impact on the world, but was the Beetle a major advance in automobile design or just another step forward following a road started mostly in Central Europe in the early 1920s. Ferdinand Porsche was Born in Maffersdorf in Northern Bohemia now part of Czech Republic, the son of a tinsmith. His first automobile designs were for Lohner of Vienna in 1899. He went on to design for Austro-Daimler 1906-23, Then Daimler-Motoren AG, later Daimler-Benz, in 1923 to 1929. Followed by Steyr, in Austria in 1929. Later in 1929 he set up his own design office in Stuttgart. Although he was actively involved in motorcar design for over fifty years, only one of his light car designs reached series production, that was the Volkswagen Beetle. Precedent's time line. In the United States Franklin had been producing fan cooled air-cooled engines for automobiles since 1902, and continued production until 1934. 1921 General Motors began producing the so called "copper-cooled" models of Chevrolet, Olds, and Oakland between1921 and 1923 but it was not a success and very few were made. The "copper- cooled" referred to the copper cooling fins on an air cooled inline four engine, not a good layout for fan cooling. 1922 While at Austro-Daimler in 1922, Ferdinand Porsche designed an 1100 cc sports car. Hoping that it would form the basis of a wider range of cars, but he was not supported by board of directors of Austro-Daimler.
