  • IAA: Opels Strom Fließt Mit Dem Monza
    Auto-Medienportal.Net: 06.08.2013 IAA: Opels Strom fließt mit dem Monza Auf der IAA in Frankfurt (12. – 22.09.2013) feiert der zukunftsweisende Opel Monza Weltpremiere. Die visionäre Studie zeigt auf dem Opel-Stand in Halle 8 das, was die Kunden von dem Rüsselsheimer Autohersteller in Zukunft erwarten dürfen. Anlässlich des Messeauftrittes holt Opel ein wenig aus und greift auf seine Studien-Historie zurück, die mit dem Experimental GT begann und vor zwei Jahren auf der IAA im RAK-e gipfelte. Das erste Konzeptauto überhaupt kam vom Opel-Mutterkonzern GM: Im Jahr 1939 baute Buick mit dem „Y-Job“ ein Fahrzeug, das zwar nicht für die Serie bestimmt war, aber die Käuferreaktionen auf neue Design-Ideen testen sollte. In Europa gab Opel mit dem Experimental GT 1965 den Startschuss zur fortlaufenden Präsentation von Konzeptfahrzeugen, die innovative Entwürfe und entscheidende Zukunftsentwicklungen des Markenportfolios aufzeigen sollten. Kein anderer Hersteller hatte zuvor diese Idee auf Europa übertragen. Bereits drei Jahre später wurde aus dem Zukunftsträger Realität: Der 1968er GT stellte damit das erste europäische Konzeptfahrzeug dar, das in Serie ging und Vorbildcharakter für die Branche hatte. 1969 präsentierten die Rüsselsheimer auf der IAA den Opel CD, einen Vollblut-Gran- Turismo, der auf der Technik des Opel Diplomat basierte. Auch hier blieb die Studie kein Einzelstück. Sie wurde weiterentwickelt und erreichte schließlich die Kleinserie. Standen in der ersten Phase der Opel-Konzeptfahrzeuge ausschließlich Coupés im Vordergrund, rückten die Ingenieure ab 1975 die Themen Benzinverbrauch, Aerodynamik, Sicherheit und Innenraum in den Fokus. Dies war erstmals zu sehen beim Opel GT2, der mit futuristischer Keilform und Schiebetüren vorfuhr.

  • Q&A with Group Lotus CEO, Mike Kimberley the Lotus Integrated
    The official industry newsletter of Lotus Engineering Issue 22 September/October 2007 The Lotus Integrated Exhaust Manifold Q&A with Group Lotus CEO, Mike Kimberley Lotus Engineering Change the Rules Welcome At the recent Frankfurt Motor Show green technologies were again the all-pervading topic. The breadth of technical options being pursued is mind-boggling whether it is clean diesels, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids – a subject reviewed by Ian Adcock this issue. Green technologies were again firmly on the agenda at the recent IMechE biofuels seminar hosted by Lotus Engineering, an event that attracted industry figure intent on driving renewable fuels forward. For a consultancy like Lotus Engineering, you could think the diversity of technologies would make it difficult for us to know where to focus our activities. But, for us at least, it gives the opportunity to use our considerable skills for a wide range of clients and projects. Clearly, Lotus is a leader in many of the green technologies themselves. However the ‘glue’ that combines and strengthens our engineering Peter Morgan capabilities is the ability to integrate technologies into real solutions and real vehicles. The integrated exhaust manifold 13 described this issue is a great example. I hope you enjoy this latest look at the industry and Lotus Engineering, which concludes with the recent interview with Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus, by Dave Leggett, kindly reprinted with permission of just-auto. Peter Morgan Marketing Manager, Lotus Engineering Contents September/October
