Opel Motorsport-Geschichte Die Ruhmreiche Opel Opel Motorsport-Geschichte Die ruhmreiche Opel-Motorsportgeschichte wird vom legendären Opel Rennwagen 1903 angeführt. Der London-Brighton-Veteran verfügt bereits in der Anfangszeit des Motorsports über einen Kar- danantrieb zu den Hinterrädern. Nur zehn Jahre später gehören zu einem erfolgreichen Grand-Prix-Rennwagen bereits techni- sche Finessen wie eine obenliegende Nockenwelle mit Königs- wellenantrieb und vier Ventilen pro Zylinder. Herausragende O- pel-Technik von 1913 – schon damals für Tempo 170 gut. Und nur ein weiteres Jahr der Entwicklung verwandelte den Opel Rennwagen in einen Hubraum-Giganten mit 12,3 Liter Volumen, 260 PS und einer Endgeschwindigkeit von sagenhaften 228 km/h. Dieses für damalige Zeit unfassbare Tempo fuhr das so genannte „Grüne Monster“ vornehmlich bei Strandrennen mit endlosen Ge- raden. Im Gegensatz dazu heißt der zentrale Begriff des Rallye-Sports „die Kurve“. Und Meister des spektakulären Drifts ist der Opel As- cona – vor allem mit Walter Röhrl am Lenkrad. Der Ausnahmefahrer gewann 1974 (mit Copilot Jochen Berger) auf einem Ascona A die Europameisterschaft und 1982 mit dem Ascona 400 und Christian Geistdörfer die Königsklasse – die Rallye-WM. Auch auf der Rundstrecke hat Opel in der jüngeren Vergangenheit kräftig hingelangt. Star des En- sembles ist zweifellos der „Cliff-Calibra“. Mit dem allradgetriebenen Klasse-1-Tourenwagen schnappte sich Manuel Reuter 1996 die Krone der International Touringcar Championship. Die ITC war aus der DTM hervorgegangen und zu einem weltweiten Wettbewerb gewachsen. Der Opel Calibra V6 dominierte schließlich die mit Formel-1-Technik ausgestatteten Gegner von Alfa Romeo und Mercedes. In den Sechzigern und Siebzigern war die große Zeit der Tuner, die sportliche Serienautos in sa- genhafte Rennwagen verwandelten. Zeugen dieser Epoche sind der Opel Commodore A von Klaus Steinmetz, zwei Opel GT von Virgilio Conrero sowie der mit 280 PS leistungsstärkste GT von Mo- torenpapst Ulrich Gerent. Opel Rennwagen 1903 Die Basis dieses Rennwagens, ein Opel 10/12 PS, ist die erste komplett eigenständig entwickelte Opel-Konstruktion. Die Opel-Ingenieure haben alle technischen Neuheiten dieser Zeit in diesen Wagen einfließen lassen – wie den Hinterradantrieb über eine Gelenkwelle. Dieser Rennwagen wird noch heute bei Veranstaltungen eingesetzt. Zum Beispiel nahm er am 5. November 2006 erfolgreich an dem legendären „London to Brighton Veteran Car Run“ für Oldtimer bis 1904 teil, wo er zuverlässig nach fünf- stündiger Fahrt das Ziel erreichte. Technische Daten Motor Zweizylinder stehend angeordnet mit 1885 cm³ Hubraum, Bohrung x Hub 100 x 120 mm, Querstrom-Prinzip, Leistung 12/8,9 PS/KW, seitlich stehende Ventile, zwei Nockenwellen, Spritzvergaser, Batteriezündung.

Einem Vorläufer der heutigen Formel 1 Rennen. Die drei aufgebauten GP-Wagen sind konsequent auf Leichtbau getrimmt und verfügen über einen Vierzylinder-Motor mit 16 Ventilen und obenlie- gender Nockenwelle mit Königswellenantrieb. Alle drei Rennwagen haben die Jahrzehnte überdauert. Zwei befinden sich in Privatbesitz in Deutsch- land und England.

Der gewaltige Motorblock besteht aus der hochwertigen Aluminium-Legierung Silumin. Der 12,3 Liter Renn- und Rekordwagen basiert technisch auf dem Grand-Prix-Wagen von 1913 und verfügt ebenfalls über die fort- schrittliche Vierventil-Technik. Die Urgewalt des 260 PS starken Hubraum-Monsters entfesselt Werkspilot Carl Jörns mit Vorliebe bei Strandrennen auf der dänischen Insel FanØ. Mit diesem Boliden hat der begnadete Rennfahrer die meisten Siege seiner langen Karriere errungen.

So wird ein Geheimprojekt geboren. Das Ergebnis ist ein schwarzer Rekord C 1900 mit gelber Beschriftung, auffallend breiten Reifen, einem Überrollkäfig sowie einem Lufteinlass unter der vorderen Stoßstange. Da die Taxen in Deutschland damals schwarz und die Taxi-Schilder gelb sind, wird der Wagen schnell „das Taxi“ genannt. Der Motor wird in Schweden unter der Leitung von Ragnar Ecklund aufwendig präpariert, so dass dieser fast die doppelte Leistung im Vergleich zum Serienmotor hat. Das Fahrwerk wird massiv an der Hinterachse umgebaut, um die Power auf den Asphalt zu bekommen. Der Rekord C fährt beim internationalen Saisonfinale Gruppe 5 in Ho- ckenheim, pilotiert von Erich Bitter, die schnellste Zeit. Damit wird die der Tourenwagen zur Legende – unter neuem Namen: „Die schwarze Witwe“. Der Wagen geht schließlich Anfang 1969 an Kurt Bergmann in Wien, der das Rennauto in Tulln/Langenlebarn einsetzt – gefahren von einem damals 20jährigen Unbekannten mit dem schönen Namen: Niki Lauda †. Der hier gezeigte Opel Rekord C ist nach intensiven Recherchen (Original-Bildmaterial und Infor- mationen früherer Mitarbeiter) ein authentisch neu aufgebautes Fahrzeug.

Neben seinem sportlichen Alltagsleben verdient sich der GT auch auf der Rennstrecke seine Meriten. Einige namhafte Tuner – unter ihnen Virgilio Conrero – verpassen dem Rüsselsheimer Grand Tou- risme zusätzliche Muskeln. Sie verleihen ihm Flügel und unterstreichen so auch optisch den Opel- Werbeslogan „Nur Fliegen ist schöner“. Im Sommer 1970 fährt der GT beim Gran Premo Mugello einen Klassensieg vor der bis dahin überlegenen Konkurrenz ein. Weitere Erfolge schließen sich an – etwa auf der berühmten Targa Florio 1971 und 1972. Auch in Monza (1972) und bei den Opel- Markenrennen auf dem Nürburgring sorgen die Conrero-GT aus Turin für Furore.

Mr. Hatz, head of transmission and engine development at the Volkswagen Group, was suspended in September. CreditDenis Balibouse/Reuters LONDON — A few months after taking over engine development at Volkswagen in 2007, Wolfgang Hatz faced a potential challenge that he considered insurmountable. It was the State of California. Regulators there were seeking to limit global warming gases released by automobiles, a step never directly taken before in the United States. “We can do quite a bit and we will do a bit, but ‘impossible’ we cannot do,” Mr. Hatz said during a trip to San Francisco that year, where he http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/22/business/international/vw‐executive‐had‐a‐pivotal‐role‐as‐car‐ maker‐struggled‐with‐emissions.html?_r=0 The New York Times 12/21/15 Page | 2 took part in a technology demonstration hosted byVolkswagen. “From my point of view, the C.A.R.B. is not realistic,” he said of the California Air Resources Board, in remarks filmed by an auto website during the event. Of the proposed regulation, he said, “I see it as nearly impossible for us.” In September of this year, Volkswagen, then the world’s largest automaker, admitted to installing software designed to cheat on emissions tests, setting off one of the largest corporate scandals in the industry’s history.

FLANERY ABSTRACT Midcentury American life featured a post-war economy that established a middle class in which disposable income and time for leisure were commonplace. In this socio-economic environment, consumerism flourished, ushering in the Golden Age of the automobile: from 1950 to 1960, Americans spent more time in their automobiles than ever before, and, by the end of the decade, the number of cars on the road had more than doubled. While much critical attention has been given to the role of the automobile in American novels, less has been given to its role in American short stories.

  • The Opel Association of North America
    The Opel Association of North America The Official Newsletter of the OANA Vol.8 No. 2 – Mar/Apr 2000 The History of the Opel Bitter OANA CLUB INFORMATION The Opel Association of North America has been in existence as a local club since 1985. From 1994 to 1996 the club saw many transformations, and the O.A.N.A. settled into its current form in 1996. Our purpose now is to provide a source for locating parts, service, tech-help and various forums to exchange information between owners of all Opel models from the 1957 Olympia to any gray market imports that are in North America. We do, however, place a special emphasis on the Opel GT, Manta and Kadett models. Our ultimate goal is to keep the Opel marquee a presence in North America, improve the collectability of all Opels in North America, and most of all, to have fun doing it. The North American Bitter Registry was formed for essentially the same reasons as The Opel Association. A very small number of Bitters (our sister make) SC coupes were imported into the U.S. With the non-existence of any club to help the owners of these rare and exotic cars, it was determined that our club would be the right place to give assistance and help these owners have a place to get connected. · Club membership dues: Net-Only Membership (Members do not get a mailed newsletter; they download it from the net) is $20 for 2 years. Business members are $100 a year (includes business card in newsletter and banner on front page of web site), $50 per ad page per issue.
