Los coches del GR 5 "Silueta"… ¡Excesivos! ¡Brutales!

¡Como me gusta este podcast! ¡Como me gustan estos coches! Excesivos, brutales… sencillamente son, para mí, los coches de competición en circuito más espectaculares de la historia. Fruto de un reglamento poco restrictivo… no como los de ahora… Si conoces los “Silueta” te va a interesar mucho este video, pero si nos los conoces… ¡te va a interesar más! Te lo prometo. Lo primero que hay que hacer, porque quizás alguno no lo sepa, es responder a esta pregunta: ¿Qué es un coche “silueta”? Lo primero que hay que decir es que los “silueta” son coches del entonces llamado Grupo 5, pero no todos los grupo 5 son coches de la categoría “silueta”. Los Grupo 5 nacieron en 1966 e inicialmente eran coches nacidos para la competición. Te pongo algunos ejemplos: Alfa Romeo TT33TT/12, Alpine Renault A442, Ford GT40, Ferrari 512 M/S, Matra Simca MS670 o Porsche 917 por citar unos ejemplos… coches preciosos y que, seguro, merecen otro video para ellos. Pero en 1976 y hasta 1982, época de mi adolescencia y juventud, nace la cuarta y última generación del Grupo 5 y estos son los “silueta”. La FIA creó esta categoría para coches derivados de la calle, pero ampliamente, yo diría que muy ampliamente, modificados. La federación exigía que el capó, parabrisas, puertas completas y techo fueran los mismos que en el coche original. Pero lo demás, incluidos los pasos de rueda y la parte posterior era libre. El motor debía contar con el bloque motor original y en la posición original. Es decir, no podías hacer un 911 con motor delantero, pero sí ponerlo más bajo o más adelantado y prepararlo a fondo, incluso aumentando la cilindrada o añadiendo “turbos” a placer siempre que el bloque fuese original. Lo mismo sucedía con la suspensión, debía ser de igual sistema, pero de diseño y componentes libres. Había exigencias en cuanto a normas de seguridad, pesos mínimos y dimensiones, pero en general las normas eran muy “laxas” y ello dio lugar a verdaderos monstruos de la competición… ¿Qué no te lo crees? Vamos a ver unos cuantos… 1. BMW 3.0 CSL (1972). Uno de los primeros trabajos del departamento M fue la fabricación de un coupé de la serie E9 para ser preparado para competición. 2. Lancia Stratos Turbo (1976). Terminada su etapa en los Rallyes el Stratos tuvo una segunda oportunidad en los circuitos de la mano del reglamento de los silueta… pero no tan exitosa. 3. Chevrolet Corvette Greenwood (1976). He elegido de este modelo la versión denominada “Spirit of Le Mans 1976”. Este coche, como un Ferrari que veremos más adelante, participaba dentro de una categoría de la norteamericana IMSA. 4. Porsche 911-935 (1976). Uno de los “silueta” por excelencia. Y en el caso concreto del 911-935 de nominado “Moby Dick” probablemente el más brutal de todos y al que dedicamos un video completo titulado “Moby Dick: el Porsche Turbo más brutal” que te animo a que lo veas. 5. BMW 320i Turbo (1977). El CSL era demasiado grande y demasiado antiguo así que BMW pensó en un más manejable serie 3, pero eso sí, con turbo y una potencia que según algunas fuentes llegaron a los 900 CV… 6. Ferrari 512 BB LM (1977). Este coche corrió Le Mans encuadrado en la categoría norteamericana IMSA… que fue prohibida en esta prueba en 1983. 7. Toyota Celica LB Turbo (1977). El apoyo de Toyota Alemania al preparador, muy prestigioso, Schnitzer, hizo posible que naciese este modelo que declaraba 560 CV para un peso claramente por debajo de los 900 kg. 8. Ford Capri Turbo Zakspeed (1978). Ford quiso competir en la categoría “hasta 2 litros” del Grupo 5 “siluetas” y para ello encargó al prestigiosos preparados Zakspeed un motor de 1.4 litros para montar en un espectacular y aerodinámico Ford Capri. 9. Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo (1979). Lancia tenía una base excelente, como era el coupé Montecarlo con dos plazas y motor central, para crear un silueta destinada al Grupo 5 de la FIA. 10. Mazda RX-7 252i (1979). El grupo 5 “Silueta” tuvo continuidad en Japón una vez acabada su vida en Europa, en el Campeonado del Mundo FIA. Y hubo muchos coches japoneses preparados bajo este reglamento. Conclusión. Siempre digo lo mismo: Los reglamentos actuales son tan estrictos y tan detallados que dejan poco a la imaginación… antes no era así y eso producía coches como estos, como los Grupo B, como los prototipos y Formula 1 de los años 70 y 80.

Along the way Doug revisits:The unmistakable manual‑transmission fluid smell that still triggers vivid “garage memories.”Why a 2000 BMW 323Ci (E46) convertible became his worst car and ultimate “never again” lesson.A fog‑soaked, pre‑GPS road‑trip mishap in a rusty Jeep CJ‑7 that ended with a broken driveshaft.The mixtape tracks—“Silent Lucidity” by Queensrÿche & “Plush” by Stone Temple Pilots—that defined his cruising years.A dream garage trifecta: twin‑turbo 300ZX, last‑gen Mazda RX‑7 (FD), and his beloved DeLorean.How semi‑autonomous driving / Tesla Autopilot transformed his view of road trips and traffic.The hugely under‑appreciated 1989 Nissan 240SX that balanced handling perfection with driving legend status.Plus: stick‑shift lessons from Dad, the debate over cars having souls, and Doug's one rule for classic‑car mods.

Click here to send a text to Christian and Doug with your contact infoFrom a childhood surrounded by RX-7s to steering vehicle launches at Mazda USA https://www.mazdausa.com, Jon Leverett's automotive journey proves that passion can drive unexpected career paths.Growing up with a family collection totaling twenty Mazda RX-7s and an older brother who rebuilt rotary engines, Jon developed an early, intimate connection with the brand that would eventually employ him. His first car—a 1988 RX-7 GXL with an engine rebuilt by his brother—established rotary power as his mechanical baseline, making conventional piston engines feel foreign when he later switched to a BMW 525i and then Volvo C30 R-Design.Despite pursuing architecture in college and beginning his professional career in that field, Jon couldn't shake his automotive enthusiasm. The pivotal moment came when architectural colleagues expressed surprise that cars were designed at all, revealing the disconnect between his passion and profession. This realization prompted a bold move—leaving his architecture career to start at a Mazda dealership, positioning himself for an industry transition.This strategic career pivot paid off quickly. Within eight months, Jon landed a position at Mazda North America, beginning a seven-plus year journey through four different roles culminating in his current position as Launch Strategy Manager. Now orchestrating vehicle launches for the brand that first sparked his passion, Jon particularly treasures working on the MX-5 projects, including recent updates and the 35th anniversary edition - https://www.mazdausa.com/vehicles/mx-5-miata/heritageJon's story highlights how childhood influences can shape professional trajectories in unexpected ways, and how stepping back temporarily can sometimes propel you forward toward your true calling. His experience demonstrates that when it comes to career paths, sometimes the most rewarding journeys don't follow a straight line.#carsloved #everycartellsastory #automobile #automotive #podcast #carcast #everycarhasaculture #everycartellsastory #toallthecarsivelovedbefore #mazda #rx7 #zoomzoom #rotary #wankel #mazdausa #dreamjob #fc #bmw #5series #e39 #volvo #volvoC30 #C30New episodes drop every other Tuesday.

Chevrolet Corvette: El mejor deportivo americano

Ford Mustang, Ford Mustang… ¡Ya vale de Ford Mustang! Que sí, que mola mucho, pero el “VER-DA-DE-RO” deportivo norteamericano, el más representativo, el que más ha aportado estética y técnicamente, no es el Ford Mustang… ¡para nada! ¿Y cuál es entonces? Está claro… ¡el Chevrolet Corvette! No te lo crees… te lo voy a demostrar. Gracias a nuestros amigos de la revista “CEROaCIEN” hicimos un monográfico del Corvette… que terminaba en el C3, que era la portada de la revista… pero es que, del Corvette, desde que nació en 1953 hasta ahora… ¡ha habido 8 generaciones! Hablaremos de todas. 1953. Nace un mito, el C1. Chevrolet quería “rejuvenecer” la imagen de esta marca de GM… y Harley Earl, diseñador jefe de la marca llevaba mucho tiempo queriendo diseñar y producir un deportivo. Convenció a Edward N. Cole, ingeniero jefe de Chevrolet y pensaron en utilizar una carrocería deportiva, atractiva y ligera, montarla en chasis pequeño y poner un motor “gordo”. Y en 1953 en el mismísimo Waldorf Astoria de Nueva York se presentó el Chevrolet Corvette. El diseño de Robert McLean, atrevido y con mucha personalidad, fue todo un éxito. Y aunque al principio este C1 dio algunos problemas de fiabilidad, no paró de evolucionar y a llegó a llevar motores V8 de hasta 5,4 litros y hasta 365 CV. 1962. C2, ¡otra cosa! Mientras en el Ford Mustang la segunda generación era casi un paso atrás, en este caso Chevrolet fue muy atrevida. El concepto de coche deportivo, divertido de conducir y ligero para los cánones norteamericanos, se mantenía… ¡pero no tenía nada que ver! Para comenzar, ya hay versión Coupé que nunca tuvo el C1 recurre a los faros escamoteables y la parte posterior era muy original. Además, contaba con suspensión trasera independiente y llegó a llevar motores de hasta 7 litros y 425 CV. 1967: C3, el “Coca-Cola”. Este C3 fue conocido en España y otros países hispano hablantes como el “Coca Cola” por sus formas vistas desde arriba. En los países angloparlantes se le denomino “The Shark”. El “tiburón” y estuvo en producción nada menos que 14 años. Su secreto… ¡una estética impresionante! El diseño de Larry Shinoda era y es todo un espectáculo. Quizás haya otros Corvette más impresionantes, pero más bonitos, no. 1983. C4, más sofisticado y práctico. Este modelo lo pude probar, nada menos que el ZR-1 con motor V8 de 5 litros, con culatas retocadas por Lotus y 411 CV. En foto no tanto, pero “cara a cara” era impresionante, no solo gracias al diseño de Jerry Palmer, sino también gracias a tu tamaño… 1996. C5, copiando a los japoneses. La primera vez que me dijeron que este diseño era una copia o al menos estaba inspirado en los japoneses Nissan 300ZX y Mazda RX-7 fui un poco escéptico… luego me he dado cuenta de que es evidente. Casi os diría que más en el Mazda, pues parece un RX-7 que ha tomado anabolizantes. No es una crítica para su diseñador, John Cafaro, que a mi entender hizo un buen trabajo, porque en estos tiempos los coches japoneses eran en los USA y en todo el mundo un verdadero referente, sobre todo en cuanto a calidad de acabados… y este C5 en este sentido mejoraba netamente al C4. 2004. C6, más de lo mismo. GM nunca ocultó que en realidad el C6 era una evolución y mejora del C5, algo más pequeño, ligero y con motores más potentes y eficientes. Pero si piensas que este C6 aporto poco a la saga, te equivocas, pues creo que con este modelo llega un punto de inflexión. ¿A qué me refiero? A que el Corvette, aunque se recorta en tamaño, “crece” como concepto, ascendiendo de la categoría de “deportivo” y acercándose a la de super-deportivo, con motores de hasta 638 CV en su versión tope de gama, como motor de solo 6 litros, compresor y no turbo y esos 638 CV. 2013. C7, muy actualizado. En este caso más que decir que el C7 es una evolución del C6 me gusta más decir que es una actualización, desde el punto de vista estético, con una línea similar, pero más moderna y aerodinámica, pero también en el plano técnico, con la llegada de la inyección directa. El motor de 6 litros recibe no solo la inyección directa, sino también el sistema de apertura de válvulas variable, lo que permite subir la potencia hasta los 461 CV reduciendo el consumo. Este Corvette ya pretende ser más superdeportivo que deportivo, no solo por su mecánica, sino por el empleo del carbono y el aluminio en su chasis y por sus asientos de cuero cosidos a mano… sofisticado, lujoso, eficiente y muy deportivo. 2020. C8, un salto espectacular. No solo es el motor central, no solo es el nuevo chasis, no solo es la estética… es que el motor tope de gama rebasa una cifra mítica… la de los ¡1.000 CV! Exactamente 1079 CV. Sinceramente, a mí con las versiones de 664 o 679 CV creo que me llega.

Der Bonsai-Porsche Mazda RX 7 Kenichi Yamamoto, langjähriger Entwicklungschef von Mazda, ist so etwas wie der Don Quijote des Wankelmotors. In den 1970er Jahren gab es fast jedes Mazda-Modell auch mit Kreiskolbenmotor. Mit all seinen Vorzügen wie dem seidigen Lauf und geringen Baumaßen – und all seinen Nachteilen wie hohem Verbrauch und Dichtproblemen. Besonders nachdem der ansonsten überragende NSU Ro 80 mit seinen Motorschäden den Ruf des Wankel-Antriebs nachhaltig ruiniert hatte, ließ auch Mazda 1978 fast alle Wankel-Modelle auslaufen. Doch Yamamoto gab nicht ganz auf. Er ließ weiter am Wankel tüfteln, verbesserte die Haltbarkeit der Motoren und baute das Aggregat in einen hübschen, kleinen und erschwinglichen Sportwagen ein: Den Mazda RX-7. Er kam noch 1978 auf den Markt, konkurrierte mit dem Porsche 924, war aber deutlich billiger. Das kleine, leichte Wankel-Motörchen mit 2 x 573 Kubik Kammervolumen konnte tief verbaut werden, der RX-7 hatte so einen tiefen Schwerpunkt, eine sehr ausgeglichene Gewichtsverteilung und ein entsprechend gutes Handling auch ohne aufwendiges Fahrwerk. Die erst 105, dann 115 PS reichten bei dem 1050 Kilo leichten und windschlüpfigen Mazda für sportliche Fahrleistungen. Yamamoto hat Recht behalten, der RX-7 wurde ein großer Erfolg, 471.000 Autos hat Mazda gebaut, die meisten gingen in die USA. Der Wankel lebte in weiteren RX 7-Generationen bis zum Jahr 2002 weiter und ist als Range Extender im MX-30 R-EV jüngst wiederbelebt worden. Ob der frühe RX-7 ein guter Klassiker ist, darüber sind sich Ron, Oli und Frederic ziemlich einig. Oli ist natürlich sofort den Klappscheinwerfern erlegen, aber auch Ron und Frederic entdecken einige Vorzüge des Sportcoupés aus Japan. Was das mit unwuchtfreien Felgen, Ölverbrauch und 10.000 Umdrehungen in der Minute zu hat, könnte ihr in unserem Podcast hören.

Forget about the Rotary Club, this week we're all about- wait. Wait hold up. What IS the Rotary Club? I genuinely have never known. Let's google this. ...Huh... I guess it's just a community support and goodwill group? Ok. I mean that's fair. I suppose I'm in favor of that. I say this with all of the same enthusiasm that I say I suppose I'm in favor of rotary car engines. Which is why we're here today. Here is a link to a Google Drive folder with image references for this episode, in the order they appear. If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar. Our opening theme is the Hangar Theme from Gundam Breaker 3, and our ending theme for this episode is Zoom Zoom Zoom, which was originally by Jibril Serapis Bey, and is in this instance being covered by Spank for a Mazda commercial. I have reason to believe this cover is pretty significantly different than the original. Our podcast art is a fantastic piece of work from Twitter artist @fenfelt.

We're talking to Greg Crick on this week's episode of the V8 Sleuth Podcast. In the first part of a three-part chat, Cricky talks about growing up just over a mile from the Longford road circuit in Tasmania, watching the F1 heroes of the day and deciding to go racing himself. He also talks about some of the wild machines he raced early in his career, from his first FJ Holden and a turbocharged XU-1 Torana, through to a speedway-inspired Mazda RX-7 sports sedan and his iconic Australian title-winning Honda Prelude. He also shares some hilarious stories (including the time he was ‘arrested' by Victoria Police's Armed Robbery Squad during Sandown 500 practice!) and his first time racing in the Bathurst 1000. He also explains his decision to turn his attention to touring car racing, plus becoming teammates with Sir Jack Brabham in winning the inaugural Targa Tasmania.

Coches DEPORTIVOS míticos JAPONESES de los '90 ¿Para comprar?

El Garaje Hermético de Máximo Sant

Bueno, creo que ya tenéis claro que me gustan los coches japoneses. Algunos mucho. ¡Y otros muchísimo! Pero es que la hornada de deportivos japoneses de los 90 fue, realmente, excepcional. Cualquiera de esta lista lo atestigua. Y lo mejor: Algunos los puedes encontrar a precios razonables. Y es que la cosecha de deportivos japoneses en los años 90 ha sido irrepetible. Y lo digo con conocimiento de causa porque los coches que os he traído hoy aquí, he tenido la fortuna de probarlos todos y a fondo. En general se podría decir que los coches deportivos no son el mejor negocio para las marcas. No se venden en grandes series, necesitan desarrollos específicos, son más caros de fabricar y si repercutes todo esto en el precio… pues no vendes ni uno. Entonces, ¿para qué hacer coches deportivos y coupés? En gran parte porque son, como se dice en la mercadotecnia, palabra que me gusta más que marketing, un “motor de imagen”. Esto quiere decir que estos coches tienen dos misiones: Por un lado, demostrar lo que la marca es capaz de hacer, su capacidad tecnológica. En los años 90 los japoneses necesitaban tener una mejor imagen de marca más Premium. Los coches japoneses tenían éxito, eran considerados fiables y bien acabados… pero no eran coches para soñar. Y las marcas japonesas se pusieron manos a la obra e hicieron coches como los que os traemos, que sí son para soñar… insisto, los 10 de la lista. Vamos con ellos… 1. Honda NSX (1990) Y si hablamos de un coche japones, de los 90, mítico, para soñar… no puede faltar su “majestad” el Honda NSX. La mala noticia es que este sí que no le vais a encontrar barato en el mercado de usados. 2. Honda S2000 (1999) El Honda S2000 era un Roadster de propulsión trasera que si puedes encontrar a precios por debajo de los 20.000 €. 3. Mazda MX5 (1989) Nació en 1989 pero la primera generación del roadster Mazda MX5 “vivió” en los años 90. Una propuesta innovadora: Una especie de Lotus Elan relativamente asequible y muy fiable. 4. Mazda RX-7 (1992) Igual que decíamos que hablando de “Coupés míticos japoneses de los 90” no puede faltar el NSX, tampoco puede faltar un Mazda como motor rotativo, el Mazda RX-7 de la tercera generación. 5. Mitsubishi 3000 GT (1990) En Japón y en el Reino Unido, este modelo se comercializó como GTO… fuera, no se atrevieron y lo llamaron 3000GT. El 3000 proviene del motor de 3.0 litros, V6, dotado de doble árbol de levas en cabeza, culata con 24 válvulas y que daba 300 CV que llegaron a 320 CV a partir de 1994. 6. Nissan 300ZX Z32 (1990) Heredero de la mítica saga Z de Nissan-Datsun de este modelo destacaría dos cosas: Una estética imponente y el hecho de que fuese un coche tremendamente divertido de conducir. El motor era un impresionante V6 de 3.0 litros, biturbo y con 300 CV. Y, ¡cómo no! con propulsión trasera. Pero su bastidor era una joya, con suspensión tipo multibrazo en ambos ejes y un eficaz sistema de dirección trasera activa Super HICAS (Super High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension). 7. Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 (1995) De este Skyline de 1998 podemos decir que su nombre “artístico” mola más: “Godzila”. Y es que solo con verlo, da miedo. De todas las generaciones de GT-R el R33 es la que más me gusta… con permiso de la posterior, R34. El motor era un seis cilindros, en este caso en línea, de 2.5 litros, con doble turbocompresor, intercooler y que llego a dar 305 CV… 8. Subaru Imprezza 22B STi (1998) No es coupé, pero sí deportivo, ¡muy deportivo! Esta versión especial nació como base para el coche de rallyes, una saga muy exitosa de Imprezza que consiguió grandes resultados. Lo más característico de este coche, por supuesto, tratándose de Subaru de tracción total, era su motor, por supuesto, tratándose de Subaru, Bóxer. Se trataba de un 2.2 litros, por supuesto Turbo, que alcanzaba los 280 CV y que con pocos retoques se iba a los 350 CV… no está mal. 9. Subaru SVX (1991) Un verdadero “patito feo” … ¡y eso que está diseñado por Giorgetto Giugaro! Pero hablamos de un modelo en muchas ocasiones olvidado… pero no por nosotros. Pretendía ser, y lo era, un escaparate con ruedas, para mostrar la más moderna tecnología de Subaru. 10. Toyota Supra (1993) Han existido varias generaciones del Toyota Supra pero la cuarta generación, aparecida en 1993, es la más bonita y la más interesante. Parece que en estos años poner dos turbocompresores a los motores, de funcionamiento secuencial, era un “fijo”. Este 3 litros de 6 cilindros en línea ofrecía, en su versión para Europa, nada menos que 320 CV. Es una buena compra por su robustez, pero están sorprendentemente caros. Espero haber cumplido lo que prometí al empezar. Yo creo que sí, porque ¿hay algunos de estos coches que no te guste? Desde luego, a mí, me gustan todos… unos más que otros… ya veréis porque lo digo.

My guest today and I met in the main restaurant of Club Med Playa Blanca during the 1996/1997 winter season. I was a Landsports G.O and he was a G.M. His first season was as an au pair in Club Med Playa Blanca in May of 1992 as a Landsports G.O. From Orange County, California, please help me welcome to My First Season, Stan Bruckheim!! Before Club Med, proud Army brat Stan actually lived in France the first six years of his life and then spent three years in Berlin. His teenage years were spent in Philadelphia and he went to college at Franklin & Marshall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and obtained a Political Science degree. After graduation he went to work in Washington, D.C., but his employer sent him West to open their California office. Stan's first experience with Club Med was as a G.M. in Martinique in 1988. While Stan was a G.M. at Playa in '92, the CDV Gregg Snyder made an offer to Stan to come back as an au pair. Stan, who was a Media Director for an Ad agency, then went to his employer to ask for a one-year leave of absence. Not only did his employer grant his request, but they also told him his job would be held for him that entire year. After Playa, Stan then drove his red, Mazda RX-7 from California to Florida (in just four days) and went to Club Med Sandpiper during the Fall of 1992 as Landsports. He then went to Club Med Cancun in the Spring of 1993 as Public Relations and finished his Club Med career in Turks & Caicos in October of 1995. If you were a G.O. in the 1990's, then you will remember the group “Carnage” that used to come to Club Med. Stan founded this group, but surprisingly, Carnage was not started at Club Med, as you will hear in this interview. When the conversation turns to Stan's season in Cancun in ‘93, we cover what the picnic sign-up was like, the night he had dinner with Steven Seagal and Kelly LeBrock and when Playboy came for the week. Stan's regular job is Advertising in Latin America & Latino Media Services, but he is also the proprietor of “Kids Rule Sports”, a quality sports cards and memorabilia store (see link below) that is his passion. **My First Season podcast has always been free to listen to and is available on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.
