Desmontamos 10 mentiras del mundo del automovil

El Garaje Hermético de Máximo Sant

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 12, 2023 15:11


La historia del automóvil está llena de mitos y curiosidades… y de mentiras e inexactitudes. ¡Vamos a reescribir la historia! Te hemos traído 10 mitos ó 10 datos históricos, más un “Bonus”, que son falsos… para que luego presumas con tus amigos lo mucho que sabes de coches… sobre todo con tus amigos que no ven Garaje Hermético. 1. James Dean: El coche “maldito”. Vamos con la parte que es verdad: Dean circulaba a gran velocidad y en el cruce de la ruta 41 con la 466 impactó con un Ford Custom Tudor. El conductor del Ford, un tal Donald Turnupspeed, tuvo varias fracturas, pero Dean moría camino del hospital. La leyenda cuenta que “Little Bastard” fue comprado un amigo de Dean, George Barris, y que al cargarlo en la grúa se rompió el cable y partió las dos piernas a un mecánico; y luego que el coche se despiezo en partes y todos los que usaron elementos de este coche tuvieron graves accidentes… 2. Alfasud: Acero ruso. El Alfasud es un modelo injustamente tratado por la historia, porque fue muy innovador en su momento y se puede decir que creó una categoría. Pero hay múltiples “leyendas negras” sobre este modelo. La que más gracia me hace es la del “acero ruso” que cuenta que este coche no tenía la calidad deseada porque estaba hecho con acero ruso de mala calidad proveniente del achatarramiento de las armas soviéticas. 3. Benz MotorWagen: El primer automóvil. Te invito a un ejercicio: Pon en Google “primer automóvil” y te saldrá que es el Benz 1 Motorwagen de 1885. ¡FALSO! Primer automóvil de motor térmico. Porque en 1834, el profesor holandés Sibrandus Stratingh y su asistente Christopher Becker crearon un automóvil eléctrico alimentado por baterías no recargables. Incluso hubo intentos anteriores, como el del químico escocés Robert Andersson en 1832… 4. Porsche: Sinónimo de éxito en Le Mans. La primera participación de Porsche en la 24 Horas de Le Mans fue en 1951, con un 356SL. Pero la primera victoria absoluta no llegó hasta 19 años después, cuando en 1970 con el Porsche 917 KH, ocupó el primer puesto con Hans Herrmann y Richard Attwood. 5. El Escarabajo: Un diseño de Porsche. No me voy a extender porque hicimos un vídeo reciente sobre el tema donde demostramos que Ferdinand Porsche copió a Joseph Ganz y a Tatra… 6. Usar aluminio en el Land Rover: Una genialidad. Cuando en 1947 los hermanos Wilks tuvieron la brillante idea de producir un 4x4 barato no solo pensado en un uso militar, sino en un vehículo sencillo y copiaron el Jeep se encontraron con un problema: La escasez de acero. Por pura casualidad la carrocería del Land Rover se hizo de aluminio, porque era más barato y fácil de encontrar. 7. El Citroën Traction Avant: Primer tracción delantera. Si decimos que el Traction Avant es el primer coche de tracción delantera fabricado en grandes series, sería cierto. Pero si quitamos “grandes” y decimos “el primero fabricado en serie” pues el falso. El peculiar Bucciali TAV-6 de 1922 fue el primer tracción delantera y se presentó en el Salón de París de 1922 tenía entre otras muchas, innovaciones, un sistema de tracción delantera, algo “delicado” y que fue su “Talón de Aquiles” … 8. Ford T: Primer coche fabricado “en serie”. Otra vez tengo que decir, ¡FALSO! Fue el Oldsmobile Curved Dash de 1901, un modelo técnicamente mucho menos adelantado que el Ford T que contaba con un motor monocilíndrico de 1.560 cm3 y alcanzaba la terrorífica velocidad de 32 km/h. 9. VW Escarabajo: Vendidos por “suscripción”. Ya sabéis que el VW, el “Coche del pueblo” nace con la idea, supuestamente, de motorizar a la clase media alemana. Hitler mandó construir una fábrica, incluso una ciudad que aún hoy existe, Wolfsburgo, y para comercializar el coche lanzó una especie de cartillas de ahorro. Lo cierto es que ni antes ni por supuesto durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial se entregó un solo coche a un particular, todos fueron a parar a manos del ejercito o del Estado Alemán.. 10. Coches eléctricos: Lo “último”. Me río de la “modernidad” de los coches eléctricos. Ya habéis visto que el primer coche fue eléctrico, pero os doy otro dato: En el año 1900 la cuota de mercado de los eléctricos en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica era de más del 25 por ciento. ¡Bonus! Los híbridos: Un invento reciente. Depende… ¡y de que depende! De lo que consideres reciente. ¿100 años es reciente? Porque hace más de 120 años un jovencito llamado Ferdinand Porsche, con solo 24 añitos, ya diseñó un modelo híbrido que fue todo un éxito. De ese coche se vendieron 300 unidades desde 1900 hasta 1906.

Richard Mille pioneered a new era of watchmaking with the 2001 launch of the RM 001 Tourbillon, which set a standard for today's billionaires' handshake. The Swiss company is also a close family business, with sons Alex and Guillaume involved, and brand direction now helmed by Mille's daughter Amanda.Amanda Mille sat down with Rodeo Drive - The Podcast to talk about maintaining the image of the world's most advanced and most expensive watches, through creative partnerships with ambassadors including Michelle Yeoh, Charles Leclerc, Nelly Korda, and Rafael Nadal, who form the company's extended “family.”Mille tells host Lyn Winter about a journey into her father's business that began with a move to the Middle East and is full of unexpected moments, like a phone call from Jeremy Strong, Kendall Roy in Succession, about wearing a Richard Mille watch as an expression of his character. He said “we need something a bit more classical in a way, but with a push of modernity,” recalls Mille. She chose to give the detail-obsessed actor an RM 67-01. It was perfect. “Platinum, of course, added the kind of powerness behind Succession and all the stories happening to his character.”She also shares the deep creative relationships with the athletes that sport, literally, Richard Mille watches, helping perfect the product while performing at their best. “When you have someone like Yuliya Levchenko doing high jumping, you need to be sure that the watch doesn't move on the wrist and is still comfortable…Our partners are the only ones that are able to give us the feedback that even a machine will never tell you.”The Mille company is deeply connected with motor-racing, and sponsors Formula One and Le Mans. Amanda Mille shares her love of motorsport and driving, and promises to bring the 100% female, Rallye Des Princesses Richard Mille to California. Finally, she talks about the exclusivity of the company's watches that involve many years of research and development at the end of which come very few new pieces. The wait can be long and tantalizing for people who order one. “We are not laughing at the fact that people are frustrated at not being able to get the watch. We know how difficult it is. But we also know how difficult these watches are to be made,” says Mille.The Richard Mille Beverly Hills boutique is located on Two Rodeo Drive at 222 N.

Jacky Ickx: ¿El mejor piloto de coches de la historia?

El Garaje Hermético de Máximo Sant

Hoy toca vídeo para paladares exquisitos, para los que “de verdad” saben de coches. Y es que, cuando se habla de grandes pilotos, al final siempre se acaba nombrando a los mismos… y nos olvidamos de otros. Sí, sí, ya sé lo que estáis pensando: “Máximo, esta vez te has pasado”. Puede que si digo que es Ickx es “EL” mejor, exagere, pero si digo que es “Uno de los mejores”, taxativamente, no exagero. ¿No me crees? Eso es que no conoces su historia. Nosotros te la contamos. Y es que todos tenemos la manía de medir lo buenos que son los pilotos por su palmarés… Sí, yo a veces puedo caer en este error… ¡qué es un gran error! Y, ¡ojo! que el palmarés del Sr. Ickx no es pequeño: Ganador de ocho Grandes Premios de F1, 25 podios 12+1 pole position, dos veces subcampeón de Fórmula 1 una con Brabham y otra con Ferrari; Campeón de Europa de F2; seis veces ganador en las 24 Horas de Le Mans, dos veces campeón del mundo de resistencia, campeón de la Copa Can Am y ganador del París-Dakar en 1983… ¿Por qué, en mi opinión, Ickx es de los mejores pilotos de la historia? Porque valoro mucho a los pilotos polivalentes que van rápido con cualquier coche, en cualquier condición. Ickx, Jacky para los amigos como nosotros, es probablemente el mejor ejemplo de los que os digo, porque ha ido rápido en seco y en mojado, con fórmulas, prototipos, GT o turismos, en pruebas de circuito, rallyes o raid y yo añadiría que, durante muchos, pero muchos años. “No me traigas más”. Jacques Bernard Ickx nació en Ixelles, Bélgica el 1 de enero de 1945… Cuando en 1956 el padre de Jacky aficionado y muy involucrado en las carreras, le llevó al circuito de Spa, nada más y nada menos que Spa, a ver correr a Juan Manuel Fangio el pequeño Jacky de solo 11 años le dijo: “Papá, no me traigas más… me aburro”. Jacky no era buen estudiante y para motivarle le compraron una moto Zündapp de 50 con la que empezó a correr en “Mini triales” y enseguida a ganar y descubrió algo que sí le gustó: La alegría de estar entre los mejores. Jacky, además de gran piloto, os lo puedo asegurar, es un caballero. Y, por cierto, gran admirador de Alonso. Y da gusto oír y leer sus palabras. En una entrevista contaba que “Una victoria es una victoria, pero hay algunas que son más valiosas que otras”. Y añadía algo propio de los grandes pilotos: “Es la calidad de tus oponentes la que te da la mayor gloria. En francés existe un dicho: Cuando ganas con facilidad, ganas sin gloria”. Este comentario los he oído en labios de Fangio, Rossi, Senna, Schumacher y otros pilotos de ese nivel… pero no recuerdo habérselo oído a Hamilton… a lo mejor se me ha pasado… cada cuál que saque sus propias conclusiones… Así que esta historia de Jacky no va a ser una sucesión de fechas y resultados… si esto os interesa, os vais a Wikipedia y andando. Vamos a hacer un repaso de alguna de sus gestas, solo de algunas, que demuestran el nivel y la calidad de Jacky… G.P. de Francia. Rouen (1968). Jacky, como todos los grandes, era un mago bajo la lluvia y consiguió muchos y buenos resultados en mojado…. Entre ellos su primer triunfo en F1, con una ventaja de casi una vuelta sobre el segundo. ¿Sabéis quién fue el segundo? ¡John Surtees! Y el tercero nada menos que Sir Jackie Stewart… G.P. de Alemania. Nürburgring (1972). Hemos dicho que todos los grandes pilotos han destacado sobre el agua. Y añadiría que, aquello “grandes” que han podido correr en el “Infierno verde” también han destacado… y Jacky se convirtió en un verdadero “meister” del Nordschleife. 24 horas de Le Mans (1977). Solo 3 horas después de tomar la salida con un Porsche 936 el coche de Jacky se rompe. Y el equipo decide que pilote el coche de Jürgen Barth y Hurley Haywood, que iba en la 42ª posición… estas cosas se podían hacer. Rally Paris-Dakar (1983). Tras correr y ganar en 1979 la Can-Am, la serie norteamericano-canadiense que se hacía con coches realmente especiales… Y de vuelta a Europa Jacky descubre el Rallye Paris Dakar. En 1982 había sido quinto, pero lejos de primero y en 1983 se inscribe en el rallye con un pedazo de Mercedes Benz 280 G y teniendo como copiloto al actor Claude Brasseur. Decimos que Ickx es casi de la familia porque su actividad en el Motorsport fue frenética: Fue el piloto que puso a punto del Porsche “Moby Dick”, el Turbo más brutal de la historia… Fue colaborador necesario en la victoria del Mazda 787B con motor rotativo en las 24 horas de Le Mans… Y fue quien convenció a Porsche de participar en el París-Dakar… Coche del día. Voy a elegir uno que ya tengo: El Ferrari 312B3… porque sí, tengo uno, aunque sea de slot… en realidad v arios… ¡estaba enamorado de ese coche y sobre todo del sonido de su motor! Cuando lo vi y lo oí en el Jarama os juro por Dios que se me saltaban las lágrimas.

Tesla Electric is expanding into the UK market to supply electricity to households with Tesla products. The plan involves storing cheap electricity and selling it back to the grid at higher prices, aiding the transition to 100% renewable energy. Luxury EV maker Lucid Group delivered fewer Air sedans than Wall Street estimates for Q2, amid concerns about demand. Despite having a backlog of reservations, Lucid only plans to produce 10,000 to 14,000 Airs in 2023. In June 2023, electric vehicles (EVs) made up a record 26.9% market share in France, up from 19.8% the previous year. The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) for the month. Audi's Hoonitron, an all-electric Quattro tribute, will be driven by nine-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen at the 2023 Festival of Speed. The car's power outperforms any of the Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1) cars Kristensen has raced. Ford is set to unveil a high-performance electric Mustang Mach-E at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed. A teaser suggests an off-road adventure edition, complementing Ford's ongoing work on a high-performance electric F-150 Lightning pickup. Dacia plans to reinvent its fourth-generation Sandero as an affordable electric supermini by 2027 or 2028. The company is investigating cheaper battery chemistries to maintain affordability. Fiat UK experienced a surge in inquiries about the electric Fiat 500 following the introduction of a £3000 E-Grant to encourage EV adoption. The grant was launched after the UK government withdrew similar incentives a year ago. China's New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) sales increased by 44.1% year-on-year in H1 2023, reaching nearly 3.75 million units. NEV exports also grew, with a 160% year-on-year expansion. Volkswagen (VW) is experiencing decreased demand for their electric models in Europe, with production reportedly decreasing at their Emden plant. VW produced 97,000 units from January to May but sold only 73,000. Electric car sales in Germany for Volkswagen are below targets, with some battery-electric models seeing demand drop to zero. Subsidy cuts, high inflation, and competition from other manufacturers are contributing factors. The European Parliament has approved legislation to expand EV charging and hydrogen infrastructure across the EU. By 2026, charging stations for electric cars should be available every 60 kilometers along main routes. EU member states have approved comprehensive battery market regulation, promoting a circular economy for all types of batteries. The regulation requires mandatory declarations and labels related to battery components and recycled content. A study shows a 29.5% drop in used Electric Vehicle (EV) prices following months of rising prices. Factors contributing to the price drop include Tesla's aggressive pricing cuts and a rise in supply. Amazon has introduced more than 3,000 custom electric delivery vans across the U.S., aiming to have 100,000 such vehicles on the road by 2030. Amazon plans to invest over 1 billion euros over the next five years to decarbonize and electrify its European transportation network. Several electric vehicles now support 800-volt DC fast-charging for rapid charging with lighter, thinner cables. Among the manufacturers offering this technology are Audi, Porsche, GMC, Hyundai, and Kia, while Tesla's upcoming V4 Supercharging will offer 1,000-volt capability.
