FAST AND FURIOUS Like so many inventions in the past, further development was easier once the initial blueprint was established. The action was fast and furious in the first years of the new century.

БЫСТРО И ЯРОСТНО Как и многие изобретения в прошлом, дальнейшее развитие было легче после установления первого чертежа. Действие было быстрым и яростным в первые годы нового века. Поскольку многие автопроизводители были на тот момент под управлением инженеров, а не бизнесменов, у них была власть и смелость делать именно то, что они хотели. Мы можем думать, что наши автомобили с впрыском топлива, 16-клапанные, с электронным чипом и т.д., конца 1990-х годов представляют собой вершину автомобильного дизайна, но это не так. Фактически, за исключением электроники, большинство концепций, обнаруженных в типичном современном автомобиле, мало чем отличаются от устаревших идей. Создателей Harley Earl и 'Bill' Mitchell. Mitchell стал следующим настоящим обладателем структурной интеграции, а его дизайны. В действительности, арт-кар производства автомобилей среди американских производителей ухудшилось за период между войными, большинство из них только что надеяли на то, что союзы были вышеописанные запредельные потери, причем считалось, что повторная то слабо регулируемая рискованная система, подвергавшаяся социальном воздействии, до последних лет рисковала разрушением вели- личеству от одного к завершению своего обязанности а то в особенности недоверия было жестко ограничеными интересам с 51 года.

Если даже вы все еще крымэного уровня осмысленности в потоке энтузиастов 1948 года на Экзот показался заимствовавшейся незаметным, но технически продвинутым шоу в Лондоне. 48 Престоном Таккером был эксцентричным производителем машин малого размера, который хотел добиться успеха с тем, что тогда описывалось как первая полностью новая машина за полвека. С такими функциями, как специальная железобетонная конструкция для безопасности пассажиров и стандартные ремни безопасности, Таккер обгонял своих конкурентов на десятилетия, но провалился из-за отсутствия у компании делового щария. Таккер делал большие заявления и обещания, чтобы собрать нужные ему 12 миллионов долларов, и хотя его позднее обвинили в мошенничестве, его единственным преступлением было чрезмерное увлечение. Престон Таккер думал, что крупные автопроизводители стремятся его уничтожить, но его неудача была в основном результатом того, что он был не в своей тарелке и ожидал слишком много слишком рано. Если бы '48-й' стал успехом, прогресс в области автомобильных технологий мог бы двигаться гораздо быстрее 1950-е годы были временем, когда автомобильная промышленность пыталась избавиться от военного послевоенного стресса. Хотя это были все еще суровые времена, оказался золотым веком в автомобильном деле. Американские боссы как Ford, так и Vauxhall стали более вовлеченными в дизайн своих 51-й год наземных спутников, а огромный объем продукции материнских компаний в США увидели последнее дыхание многих великолепных, но маленьких европейских производителей автомобилей из очень технического взгляда, 1950-е годы были десятилетием прогресса благодаря единой цели усовершенствовать автомобиль. Инженеры и первооткрыватели получили лицензию на выражение и эксплуатацию своих идей с свободами, которые вернулись только недавно. Rover экспериментировал с газотурбинной энергией, ротационный двигатель был разработан и производились усовершенствованные автоматические трансмиссии с непрерывно- переменными передаточными числами. Неудивительно, что 1950-е годы принесли нам два из наиболее значительных дизайнов в истории автомобилестроения - Citroen DS и вечно зеленый Mini. DS был технологическим удовольствием, с его сложной гидравлической системой, управляющей тормозами и подвеской, что, в свою очередь, наделяли автомобиль уровнями производительности, ранее не виданными на семейном автомобиле.
