That is, when the vertical lines (which contrary to its purpose) dominated at its debut, it was ugly, and people kept buying horses. Cars were known as "horseless carriages." The necessity of speed lowered and elongated the car so that the horizontal lines, balanced by the curves, dominated: it became a perfect whole, logically organized for its purpose, and it was beautiful. —Fernand Leger "Aesthetics of the Machine: The Manufactured Object, The Artisan, and the Artist," 1924 M Migh-performance sports and racing cars represent some of the ultimate achievements of one of the world's largest industries. Few objects inspire such longing and acute fascination. As the French critic and theorist Roland Barthes observed, "I think that cars today are almost the exact equiv alent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object." Unlike most machines, which often seem to have an antagonistic relationship with people, these are intentionally designed for improved handling, and the refinement of the association between man and machine.

  • Design of a Freeway-Capable Narrow Lane Vehicle*
    O4ANNUAL-989 Design of a Freeway-Capable Narrow Lane Vehicle* Kurt Kornbluth, Andrew Burke U.C. Davis lnstitute for Transportation Studies, Davis, CA Geoff Wardle, Nathan Nickell Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA Copyright @ 2003 SAE lnternational ABSTRACT This study focuses on the design of a narrow (44 inches maximum width) vehicle capable of moving two occupants safely at freeway speeds with an emphasis on comfort, efficiency and performance. The design addresses consumer acceptance problems of past narrow vehicles such as "too small", "too ugly", "too unstable", "too wet", "too slow", "too complicated", and "too expensive". A full CAD model was developed to show the external vehicle shape, occupant seating and ergonomics, and the packaging of driveline components. Simulations were run using S/MPLFV and Advisor 2002 to predict vehicle performance and range. The size and mass characteristics of the driveline components used in the simulations were based on commercially-available EV products and selected for the special requirements of a relatively lightweight (450400 kg) vehicle. Dynamic Figure I stability and safety of the vehicle are of prime importance and were considered in all phases of the design. Previous studies by PATH (Partners for The narrow lane "commute/'vehicle is designed Advanced Highways and Transit) and others (1) have to permit two cars to travel abreast on a standard lane, illuminated the need and viability for a class of smaller, or single file on a shoulder or auxiliary lane of highway. lighter vehicles to complement existing vehicles and The vehicle modeled incorporates electric drive and is infrastructure. lnnovative vehicles like this have been designed to have a >100 mile range using lithium-ion referred to as "Lean Machines", (2), "ultralight vehicles" batteries.

The American Iron Extreme Series was created to meet the needs of domestic sedan racers looking for a series specifically tailored to accommodate highly modified vehicles that are currently relegated to racing in Unlimited or Spec-limited classes. This class is designed to field a large high-profile group of American Musclecars and will unify fields of cars that currently race in other sanctioning organizations. This large field/open modification concept will provide racers and vendors access to a promotional racing venue containing similarly prepared and appearing cars that can run nearly unlimited configurations.

    1 Introduction 1.1 History The current world-wide production of vehicle dampers, or so-called shock absorbers, is difficult to estimate with accuracy, but is probably around 50–100 million units per annum with a retail value well in excess of one billion dollars per annum. A typical European country has a demand for over 5 million units per year on new cars and over 1 million replacement units, The US market is several times that. If all is well, these suspension dampers do their work quietly and without fuss. Like punctuation or acting, dampers are at their best when they are not noticed - drivers and passengers simply want the dampers to be trouble free. In contrast, for the designer they are a constant interest and challenge. For the suspension engineer there is some satisfaction in creating a good new damper for a racing car or rally car and perhaps making some contribution to competition success. Less exciting, but economically more important, there is also satisfaction in seeing everyday vehicles travelling safely with comfortable occupants at speeds that would, even on good roads, be quite impractical without an effective suspension system. The need for dampers arises because of the roll and pitch associated with vehicle manoeuvring, and from the roughness of roads. In the mid nineteenth century, road quality was generally very poor. The better horse-drawn carriages of the period therefore had soft suspension, achieved by using long bent leaf springs called semi-elliptics, or even by using a pair of such curved leaf springs set back-to-back on each side, forming full-elliptic suspension.
