Last time I watched 3. about the production of the "old man" of the BMW M employee0 The story of the CSL prototype model, the work is quite perfect, and its significance lies in the fact that the old man received a specially painted 30 CSL, which is a style that you can't buy. And when I was flipping through the album, I also found the paper model I made more than ten years ago, and now I look at this work back then, in addition to being a little rough, I still think it is a little interesting, of course**The image quality is also the level of the camera more than ten years ago.
I remember that I should have started doing it during the winter vacation of my freshman year, and as for why I made this model, I can't remember it, maybe I felt that the model I bought was not detailed enough, or it could be because the model with details was too expensive, or maybe I wanted to use what I knew to build one by myself, in short, it started.
It may also be that I watched a series of documentaries about car production at that time, including Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, etc., after seeing the aluminum ingots melted into aluminum coils, and then stamped and welded into frames, and then assembled into the final vehicle, the whole process is very modern, perhaps this is the reason why I want to make my own car.
At that time, the thinking can only be said to be very scattered, the pursuit of similarity, many details can not withstand scrutiny, there may be transmission system, braking system, suspension system, etc., but it is all up to the point, if I still have this mind, I may do it more finely. The whole model is mainly made of foam, cardboard, and white paper, and the foam acts as a hard main structure, such as the frame, doors, etc., but in order to look good, these parts will also be wrapped in white paper on the outside, which will not be so rough.
The scale of the whole model mainly refers to the size of the wheel, and the size of the wheel refers to the size of the wheel arch, and the size of the wheel arch depends on the production materials around it. The production of wheels, especially the spokes, is made of white paper folded into pillars and put together one by one, and the tires are made of sponge glue, which is only wrapped in one circle, and the flattening ratio is low enough.
The suspension is a double A-arm, there is a little distance between the up and down movements, the brake discs are still perforated, and there are Lamborghini letters on the calipers.
The transmission system is designed with mid-mounted four-wheel drive, which is probably what it means, the specific four-wheel drive structure is not reflected, but the gearbox has made the corresponding gears inside, and in order to have a reverse gear, an extra gear has been added.
The engine is a V12 structure, with 12 separate exhaust pipes, at that time I didn't know what turbocharging was, the red strip at the top is a high-pressure ignition coil, a bit abstract, and you can also see the timing belt, starter, flywheel, intake gas collection box, etc.
The door is Lamborghini's signature scissor door, which can be opened, has a travel mechanism, and after the door is opened, the struts are retracted and hidden in the structure, but the angle that can be opened after installation is a little small.
The two one-piece seats look like they're going to be very combative.
The front trunk lid and the rear transparent engine compartment cover have struts, but they do not have a travel limit design, and sometimes the front trunk lid falls out when it is opened.
A pair of movable wipers.
The quad exhaust at the rear of the car is deliberately framed with a black frame, and the license plate frame in the middle is also deliberately designed to be recessed, and the taillights are Lamborghini's signature Y-shaped design.
The above is my imagination of the supercar Lamborghini about ten years ago, I originally wanted to make a gallardo, but the result was just a similarity, and it was made into a four-like shape, but its significance is that it gave me a deeper understanding of the structure of each part of the vehicle, and I also read a lot of information in the production process, but due to the limited materials and skills, some things are generalized.
Today's new energy tram and traditional fuel vehicles are very different in the form of power, first of all, the engine is a big head, in the past, the number of cylinders, displacement represents justice, AMG is still paying attention to the era of one person and one machine, the engine of a car does represent the highest level, but also the talk of fans and friends, and now hundreds of kilowatts of motors are not so far away. The four-wheel drive system is another topic with technical content, and it is also the best of each brand to demonstrate its technical strength, and after coming to the era of motors, it is easily resolved by the front and rear dual motors, not to mention whether the actual effect has an advantage over the traditional four-wheel drive, but this solution always seems so rough.
Coupled with today's active suspension, such as Porsche, Weilai's latest suspension technology, as well as Lamborghini's active wheel technology, all kinds of technologies show that the era of electric drive has come, the 12V electric power on traditional fuel vehicles may not be enough, but now the 400V or even 800V electricity on new energy vehicles has a lot of imagination. A variety of advanced chassis technology has also come into being, in the past after the completion of the vehicle design tuning, the character of the car is likely to accompany a lifetime, and now the new energy era of a car character is likely to be a set of settings in the car machine. The change of the times and the equal rights of science and technology allow us to enjoy better products, but also make the differentiation between products smaller and smaller, and make cars more and more boring.
After all, it sounds romantic!
