El Garaje Hermético de Máximo Sant
Coches con motor trasero, que no conoces

Durante unas décadas la disposición con el motor atrás era considerada la mejor para aprovechar el espacio y rebajar el coste de fabricación de un coche… hubo muchos y muy conocidos coches “todo atrás” … y también muchos poco o nada conocidos. Hoy toca hablar de los desconocidos. ¿Qué ventajas tiene el motor posterior? Voy a enumerar las más importantes: - Aprovechamiento del espacio. No hay árbol de transmisión por en medio. - Más barato, pues es más sencillo y con menos piezas que fabricar. - Aerodinámica, puedes hacer el morro muy bajo, porque ahí no hay “nada”. ¿Y el inconveniente? Pues no es lo ideal para la estabilidad, como te contamos en un video que hicimos titulado “Coche “todo atrás”, ¿Por qué son un peligro?”. En ese video aparece alguno de los coches que vamos a citar hoy. Vamos ya con la lista…. ¡a ver cuántos conoces! 1. Mercedes-Benz 130 (1934). Si miras este coche te puedes creer que estás ante un precursor del VW Escarabajo… pues no, es todo un Mercedes, pero con motor posterior. Tuvo diversos sucesores, los 150 y 170H. Las malas lenguas dicen que este modelo se inspiró en el Tatra T77 que apareció poco después y que era muy parecido… 2. Tatra 77a (1935). Tatra es una desaparecida marca checa por la que tengo gran aprecio. Hemos hablado de ella en muchas ocasiones, porque es injustamente olvidada. Prácticamente siempre apostó por grandes motores colocados atrás y por modelos con refinada aerodinámica. Uno de los primeros de esta saga es el 77a que he elegido para esta lista… ¡no me digáis que no es precioso! 3. SMZ (1954). ¡Una verdadera rareza! Es un coche ruso destinado a personas discapacitadas… En las desaparecidas URSS se le conocía como “la silla de ruedas con motor” y contaba con una mecánica de dos tiempos, 350 cm3 y 10 CV en la versión A. 4. Subaru 360 (1958). Os traigo al primer Subaru. Hay muchos modelos japoneses con motor trasero, muy desconocidos por estos lares, por eso he querido traer por lo menos uno y os traído este, del que se fabricaron casi 400.000 unidades y que permitió a Subaru afianzarse como marca. 5. Hino Contessa (1961). Hino es una empresa japonesa ahora propiedad de Toyota y que fabrica camiones. En 1953 fabricó en Japón y bajo licencia el Renault 4 CV, conocido como 4/4 en España. Hay varios modelos de Hino Contessa, de diseño Michelotti, inspiración americana, en el Corvair, un coche fracasado pero muy inspirador, y basado en la tecnología francesa… una verdadera rareza. 6. NSU Prinz 4 (1961). Me gusta especialmente la generación 4 inspirada en el Chevrolet Corvair americano… de hecho parece un encogido. Contaba con motor posterior de 535 cm3, de 2 cilindros y 4 tiempos que desarrollaba 35 CV… que no estaba nada mal. De hecho, es un coche que tuvo cierto éxito en competición para coches de menos de 750 cm3. 7. Hillman Imp (1963). Como se cuele decir, en este caso “el niño nació muerto”. ¿Por qué digo esto? Porque cuando se lanzó este modelo en 1963 el Mini llevaba muchos años en el mercado. Por calidad de realización, acabados y fiabilidad, el Imp era mejor. Pero por comportamiento estaba a otro nivel. Luego, además, por temas políticos, se trasladó su producción a Escocia y dejaron de ser tan buenos y fiables. 8. Renault 10 (1965). No he podido resistirme a incluir al olvidado R10, una versión alargada y más lujosa del R8. Renault quería competir en coches de la categoría superior al R8 y se le ocurrió alargar el citado R8 ¡Ojo!, los voladizos, porque la distancia entre ejes era la misma, pero se alargaba nada menos que 10 cm delante y 8 cm detrás. Pasaban varias cosas. En primer lugar, era más de lo mismo. En segundo, la habitabilidad era idéntica, aunque el maletero fuese algo mayor. Y tercero, curiosamente, al alargar el coche y con el capó plano, parecía más estrecho, Nunca fue percibido como un coche netamente superior al R8 y se puede decir que fue un fracaso. 9. Škoda Rapid (1980). Škoda tiene mucha tradición en coches con motor posterior. Este Rapid de 1980 fue de los últimos, pero un coche que yo probé y me sorprendió su calidad. Sabía que los checos eran buenos haciendo coches, aunque su tecnología estuviese, en esos años, algo anticuada. Era un coche con encanto, bien hecho, diferente… de los que Škoda ya no hace. Los hace mejores, pero no tan especiales. 10. Tata Nano (2008). El más moderno de la lista, que se fabricó hasta hace solo 6 años. Era un coche muy especial, un coche mínimo que debía ser muy práctico y muy, pero que muy barato. Y lo fue. Cuando se puso a la venta en la India, el precio de este coche era de alrededor de 1.500 €. Si lo hacemos en “euros constantes” teniendo en cuanto la inflación, estaríamos hablando de unos 3.000 €. O sea, muy barato. Tenía motor posterior de dos cilindros, 624 cm3 y 33 CV con un consumo homologado de alrededor de 4 litros a los 100 km. Conclusión. Me he dejado varios en la recámara, pero alguno de ellos saldrá en el video que desde ya estoy preparando de coches carismáticos con motor trasero, y os adelanto que alguno de esto también os va a sorprender. Coche del día. Como coche del día os traído un clásico del canal, un coche que me entusiasma porque no puede ser más raro, el Dymaxion. Es el único coche que conozco con motor posterior y tracción delantera y, además, dirección a la única rueda situada en el eje trasero… ¡este hecho al revés! Pero estará conmigo en que no puede ser más raro, más curioso y más atractivo.

Coches fallidos que eran buenos

Un coche “fallido” no es un mal coche, al menos, no necesariamente. Porque puede que el coche no sea malo sino que, simplemente, los objetivos marcados por su fabricante sean demasiado ambiciosos. Nos vamos a centrar coches sin duda fallidos, que eran buenos coches, pero que no alcanzaron las expectativas y los objetivos que buscaban. En todos los coches os contamos cuál es nuestro argumento para considerar ese coche fallido. 1. Audi A2 (1999). El A2 es la respuesta del Audi al Mercedes Clase A.Audi puso todo de su parte y en este coche supuestamente modesto usó la misma tecnología “todo de aluminio” que había usado con éxito en el A8. La diferencia es que el A8 era un coche Premium y podía ser caro y el A2, por el segmento en que estaba, no podía ser caro… o no tanto. 2. Citroën C6 (2005). Sustituir a un mito como el DS n o era nada fácil, pero el Citroën CX creo que lo consiguió. Sustituir al sustituto de un mito era aún más difícil y el XM lo consiguió… en parte. Por prestigio puede, pero no por ventas o reconocimiento. Pero ya la cuarta vez… era muy difícil. Y el C6, un coche que os digo que era y es excelente, nunca lo consiguió. 3. Hillman Imp (1963). ¿Fallido un coche que se fabricó en más de 10 países y del que se vendieron más de 400.000 unidades? Pues sí, y hay tres motivos que os voy a detallar: Primero, el Hillman Imp nace en 1963, con motor posterior con todos los inconvenientes que tiene… Segundo, el Mini, el rival del Imp, en su primera versión triplica la producción del Imp. Tercero, el gobierno del Reino Unido insistió en montar una fábrica de este coche en Escocia… y fue un fracaso. 4. Honda FR-V (2004). Si copias a un “coche incomprendido” lo más normal es que te salga otro “coche incomprendido”. El Honda FR-V copiaba la fórmula de 3+3 plazas del Multipla, a mi modo de ver una buena idea. Pero para mí, esta vez la copia no superó al original… 5. Jaguar XJ220 (1992). La lección que Jaguar y otras marcas de coches superdeportivos aprendió con este coche es esta. “Si quieres que un superdeportivo triunfe, no escatimes en cilindros”. considerase a la vanguardia de la tecnología, que era lo que pretendía más que hacer negocio. 6. Lancia Thesis (2001). La idea era redefinir la presencia de Lancia dentro del Grupo Fiat y que se convirtieses en la marca Premium dentro del grupo y que ofreciese diseño italiano. Así que Mike Robinson, que de italiano se ve que tiene poco, y que en esos tiempos era el responsable de diseño de la marca propuso este diseño que definió como “neoclásico”. A ver, hojeando revistas de la época lo cierto es que este diseño no gustó a nadie… 7. Seat Toledo III (2004). ¿Por qué empeñarse en vender una cosa como lo que no es? Seat quería competir con este modelo con las berlinas convencionales con mayor poder, digamos, de representación… que el Toledo, no tenía. Además, como no se vendía, pero era práctico e iba muy bien, pues lo vendieron barato para Taxi… con lo cual la poca imagen de “berlina de representación” que pudiera tener, si alguna vez la tuvo, se la cargaron. 8. Studebaker Avanti (1962). Este coche es un claro ejemplo de coche fallido: Nació para salvar a la marca y, por el contrario, la condenó. Si miras el coche, que para mí es muy bonito, si te digo que era uno de los más rápidos de su época y que estaba bien hecho, la pregunta es… ¿qué pudo fallar? El diseño de Raymond Loewy, sí, el mismo que diseño la botella de la Coca-Cola, se adelantó demasiado a su tiempo… 9. VW Corrado (1989). Con el Corrado VW no proponían un sucesor del Scirocco, quería tener un Coupé de alto nivel. Y se dejaron la vida en ello, en un coche bonito, con un buen bastidor… y que tardó en tener motores a su altura.. si es que los tuvo, pues los VR6 de 2.9 litros y 190 CV, pero, para mí, este coche merecía más. Si os interesa este coche, “la Biblia” del VW Corrado es el libro “Corrado, el purasangre de Osnabrüch” escrito por mi buen amigo Miguel Ángel Águila Buchaca. 10. VW K70 (1970). El VW K70 era un NSU Ro80 con una carrocería de estética más convencional y con un motor mucho más convencional, pues el rotativo daba paso a un 4 cilindros en línea. Y sencillamente, era un coche excelente. Para mí el K70 fue un éxito pues quizás no se vendió como se merecía, pero descubrió a VW cual era el camino para el sucesor del Escarabajo… un tal “Golf”, no sé si os suena… seguro que sí. Conclusión. La frase que dice “con todos los que están, pero no están todos los que son” va como anillo al dedo para este vídeo. Veo vuestras propuestas para un segundo video en comentarios.

It's hard writing the introduction for an episode when you know a major news story will dominate it. While the focus will inevitably be on events in Dallas in November, there are other things happening in 1963, some significant, some less so. While the US has had a presence in Vietnam for the last few years, a coup changes the political complexion in that part of the world. At the same time, but much closer to home, Americans hear wise words in the race for civil rights. There's also a bunch of firsts in the race to conquer space. While, closer to the ground, listen out for the introduction of the Hillman Imp, Vauxhall Viva, Ford Anglia. Musically, there is no question that the “sounds of the 60s” arrive with a bang. A 4-piece beat combo from Liverpool are set to have a break-out year. So, with no further ado, welcome to the 1960s. Welcome to 1963.

In this fascinating conversation dusted with the sounds of nearby Canada geese, coots and black-headed gulls, Mark describes his most moving experience, snorkeling with humpback whales, and admiring their five meter long flippers. He talks about his childhood, rescuing animals wherever he found them, and about creating his own mini zoo.
