Todos los coches con suspensión hidroneumática. Muchos no son Citroën

Si crees que Citroën e hidroneumática son sinónimos… ¡te equivocas! Vamos a hacer un listado con todos los coches que han llevado suspensión hidroneumática… ¡todos! Algunos a lo mejor no contabas con ellos, como Mercedes o Rolls … Haremos un repaso técnico, con pizarra, e histórico. Porque, por ejemplo, ¿sabías que el nombre real no es hidroneumática, sino oleoneumática o neumática? Son muchos los que piensan, los que pensáis, que solo Citroën ha usado sistemas de suspensión hidroneumática y no es verdad… pero casi. Porque los modelos que han recurrido a este sistema han sido mayoritariamente de esta marca… pero no solo. Es cierto que la complejidad de este sistema y, no lo olvidemos, las patentes que pesan sobre él, han desanimado a otras marcas. Vamos a nombrar a todos los modelos que han usado este tipo de suspensión… aunque lo primero que tenemos que hacer en este video, para dar contexto, es saber de qué hablamos… ¿sabes realmente que es una suspensión hidroneumática? Vamos a verlo. Si buscas en los libros más antiguos no busques suspensión “hidroneumática” porque no aparece nada de nada, incluso en los mejores. Tienes que buscar suspensión oleoneumática o simplemente, neumática… Y no, no pienses que me refiero a fuentes de los años 20, 30 o 40… mirad lo que tengo aquí: Mi querido Arias-Paz, que está un poco “tocado” de tanto usarlo y que es una edición de 1973. Una fuente más que fiable… Vamos a la página 477 donde encontramos un apartado dedicado a la suspensión que denomina “neumática” y la define así, leo literal: “El principio del funcionamiento -de las suspensiones neumáticas- es sustituir cada resorte o ballestas metálicos por un cojín de aire” … esto es de mi cosecha: Ese cojín de aire o de gas, generalmente nitrógeno, está en las famosas “Esferas”. Pero sigo: “La suspensión oleo-neumática de Citroën utiliza aceite… cuando el coche se carga los elementos habituales ceden, pero con este sistema se inyecta aceite a presión y se mantiene la altura” … Me llama la atención que el esquema que se usa corresponde al eje posterior de un Citroën Traction Avant… Pero, para terminar con este tema y que quede claro recurrimos a nuestra “Pizarra Hermética”. Ahora que la “titulitis” es la más habitual y que sin un título universitario casi no puedes ser ni cajero de gran superficie, resulta chocante ver como en otros tiempos a las personas se las valoraba por su talento, no por sus títulos. Y es que la sofisticada suspensión hidro, oleo o neumática a secas, la invento un señor que no tenía título de ingeniería: Paul Magès. La desarrollo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial con la idea de hacer la suspensión más cómoda y a la vez conseguir que la altura del coche no variase con la carga, lo que redundaba en confort y, sobre todo, en seguridad. A sus jefes les gustó, la evolucionaron y la instalaron en el primer coche de producción en serie con este tipo de suspensión…. Y, ahora sí, comenzamos con la lista. 1954. Citroën Traction Avant. 1955. Citroën DS. 1962. Austin/Morris 1100/1300. 1963. Mercedes-Benz 600. 1965. Mercedes-Benz W109. 1965. Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. 1970. Citroën GS. 1970. Citroën SM. 1973. Austin Allegro. 1974. Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9. 1975. Citroën CX. 1982. Citroën BX. 1989. Citroën XM. 1990. Peugeot 405 Mi 16 4x4. 1993. Citroën Xantia. 2001. Citroën C5. 2005. Citroën C6. 2008. Citroën C5 tercera generación. 2018. Citroën C4 Cactus PHV. Conclusión. En 2017 salió de la fábrica de Citroën el último modelo con suspensión hidroneumática, un Citroën C5 XTR… eso es un dato. Y una pena. Si quieres saber por qué Citroën abandono este sistema busca el video titulado “¿Por qué fracaso la suspensión hidroneumática?”. Y si, como yo, la echas de menos, tienes un video titulado “Suspensión Hidroneumática: ¡Te echamos de menos!”

Dimensiones y medidas de un coche: El tamaño sí importa

En este podcast no vamos a hablar de coches grandes y pequeños… bueno, eso también. Pero sobre todo de lo que influye la distancia entre ejes, las vías, los voladizos y otras medidas más que tiene un coche. Y la conclusión ya os la adelanto: El tamaño sí importa. Coches de igual tamaño pueden tener medidas muy distintas y muy diferente habitabilidad… Ahora explico esta aparente contradicción. Primero, lo evidente. En general incluso las categorías de los coches se hacen en base a tres medidas: Sobre todo largo, después la altura y finalmente la anchura. La anchura la marca básicamente la legislación, porque los coches tienen que caber en los carriles. La altura te da idea que tipo de coche es: Si es alto es un monovolumen, un TT o un SUV; si es bajito, se trata de un coche deportivo; ni alto ni bajo, sino entre medias, una berlina convencional. Y la longitud sin duda es lo que más discrimina las categorías y tipo de coches. Tanto que antiguamente a la categoría de los coches medios compactos, tipo Golf a partir del MKII, se le llamaba “Categoría de los 4 metros” … porque todos medían 4 metros. Pero insisto, incluso con estas 3 medidas muy parecidas o iguales, pueden ser coches muy distintos, ¿por qué? Hablemos de la batalla. Sí, porque a la distancia entre ejes se la denomina “Batalla. Las vías es la anchura medida entre los centros de las ruedas. “Una rueda en cada esquina”. Vamos a imaginar dos coches que tengan las mismas medidas de largo x ancho x alto y vamos a ver en que influyen otras medidas. Porque básicamente influyen en tres aspectos: Habitabilidad, aplomo en recta y estabilidad en curva. Vamos a analizarlo por separado en nuestra recuperada “Mesa Hermética”. Llevar una rueda en cada esquina tiene una gran ventaja de cara a la habitabilidad porque los pasos de rueda no interfieren en el asiento posterior. A veces se utiliza una plataforma de un coche más pequeño para hacerlo mayor acoplando un maletero. Es el caso del Córdoba, un Ibiza al que se le añade un maletero separado. Un coche que mide 4,2 metros de largo y tiene una batalla de 2,47 m. NO puedes aprovechar esa mayor longitud para echar la banqueta hacia atrás, porque los pasos de rueda invadirían el habitáculo. Pero si diseñas un coche desde cero y partes de una longitud igual, 4,2 metros, puedes llevar las ruedas más lejos… sería el caso del Citroën BX, por ejemplo, que mide lo mismo que un Córdoba, pero tiene una batalla casi un 10 por ciento mayor, 2,65 contra lo 2,47 metros del Ibiza. Explicar el aplomo en recta es tan sencillo que no necesitamos dibujar nada. Cuanto mayor es la distancia entre ejes, a igualdad de todos los demás factores, más estable es en recta, más aplomo tiene. Imagina un dardo: Cuanto más larga la “cola”, más estable es. Pasa lo mismo en los coches e incluso en competición, incluso en F1, cuando el reglamento los permitía, los coches para circuitos rápidos tenían mayor distancia entre ejes que para circuitos más lentos. Una mayor anchura de vías tiene dos ventajas. Ensanchar la vía, sobre todo la delantera, tiene el mismo efecto que acortar la batalla, hace al coche más ágil. Por eso hay coches, otro caso paradigmático es el Citroën SM, en los que la vía delantera es enorme en proporción a la trasera: 1,526 delante metros frente a 1,326 metros detrás, una diferencia nada menos que del 15 por ciento. SI vemos un coche de frente queda clara una cosa: A mayor vía, el “par de vuelco”, las posibilidades de volcar, son más remotas. Esto es evidente si ves, por ejemplo, un Suzuki Jimny tildado de coche “peligroso” en los USA por esto. Vías más anchas permiten, por ejemplo, neumáticos de mayor agarre. Coche del día. Hoy es el Austin Allegro, un coche que cumple a rajatabla eso de “una rueda en cada esquina”, que me encantó cuando lo descubrí y que no es nada conocido. Y me encanta… candidato a uno de esos vídeos de coches raros o poco conocidos.

As with most stuff, I was late to the Skinny Pelembe party and the way I got into his music was as random as it gets: I came across an Instagram post (see, Instagram does have its uses) of his about buying an Austin Allegro with his streaming royalties ( I think that was the gist of it). Now my old man - rest his soul - was an Austin aficionado back in the days of my formative years when he got hold of the Austin 1800, Maxi, Princess and Maestro (I crashed this beast of a machine soon after I passed my test and I think that kinda stopped his love affair with Austins). He never bought an Allegro – that was the domain of our across the road neighbours and buying the same mustard coloured one would have been a bit weird.Enough of this nonsense: Skinny is writing and performing music that is really far reaching in its impact. It's ingenious, it's inventive, unpredictable, open minded and most of all, it makes me curious, not least to put my own experience and interpretation on the music. It challenges me as I like art to do. I can be in the middle of soulful banger and weeper that explores what it means to grow up in a world that dehumanises, the next time I'm in a trippy, distorted underground village and everything else in between and around about. This is what it's all about. Brilliant stuff.He's just released, with Beth Orton, a cover of Leonard Cohen's wonderful 1974 track Who By Fire to complement his two albums, two EP's and singles. I'm so pleased that I got to talk with a true diamond.
