Bashny.Net
Over a hundred years of existence of the car industry has introduced such a huge number of models that can be studied for many years. Among all the abundance of technological solutions it is possible to find the car that became revolutionary for the entire industry. These models will forever go down in history as a pioneer in the development of new technologies and production methods. In our list of the most prominent of them — from the first car for women before the first subcompact from the mass of the machine, before the first SUV that was never intended for off-road driving. Our heroes were the first of its kind and still remain the models that define the genre and familiar to all motorists.
The Benz Patent-Motorwagen. The first car in the world it is no coincidence that the so-called. Motorized wheelchair Benz was patented in 1885 and was equipped with adenozinovymi four-stroke engine installed horizontally at the rear. The car was built on a tubular steel frame with wood inserts and moved on specefic wheels with rubber tires. As a promotional campaign, his wife Bertha Benz took the car and two sons and went to a two-day journey from Magama in Pforzheim, breaking the three-day 194 kilometers. This journey went down in history as the first rally on the first vehicle, determining the development of the industry in the years ahead.
Ford Model T. Ford Model T was revolutionary for two reasons. First, it was connected with the advantages of a standardized Assembly line and not hand-made. Therefore, the Model T was reliable. Due to the use of the Assembly line and streamlining processes of production, the car became affordable for the middle class population. This was a significant milestone in automotive history, transforming the car from a toy for the rich into a product of mass consumption. Ford T was also the first global car. He was so popular that Ford opened factories around the world, not to spend money for the transportation of vehicles. Unfortunately, Ford was so focused on maintaining low prices, which did not want to spend money to update the design and style, allowing the competitors to take away market share, producing more elegant and modern cars.
The Cadillac Touring Edition. Founded by Henry Ford, the Cadillac brand broke away from the Empire under pressure from financial backers of the company and Cadillac Touring Edition was the first experience of independent creating of the car. For its time it was very luxurious, for example, it was installed an electric starter and no longer had to turn the handle on cold. The problem with manual starter at the beginning of the production Cadillac Touring Edition was very serious — suddenly the engine started could break to the motorist hands and such cases were not rare. On the other hand, the introduction of the electric starter made the car more accessible to women. It behind the wheel of a Cadillac for the first time, sat a woman and this fact was widely covered in the advertising of the time.
Essex Closed Coach. Mark Essex was founded in Detroit in 1918 and existed for only four years. But even in that short time, the brand has managed to stand out in the industry a small revolution. The fact that mark was the first to produce cars with a fully enclosed cabin. This slight circumstance determined the shape of cars for decades to come.
Ford Model 18. If Ford Model T earned a spot on our list as the first mass-market car, the Ford Model 18 1932 came here as the first affordable car with a V8 engine. 18 was equipped with the 3.6-liter engine flat head block cilindrov and gave out about 65 horsepower. The power of the car was such that the famous Bank robber Clyde barrow (half of the team's "Bonnie and Clyde") even wrote Henry Ford a letter of thanks for the fact that this car was easy to get away from the police.
Citroën Traction Avant. The Traction Avant in French means "front wheel drive", but the 1934 Citroën Traction Avant was the world's first car with front wheel drive. But it was the first front wheel drive monocoque type and had very futuristic for its time appearance.
Buick Y-job. This Buick looks as it should look like a vintage American car. A huge car with fancy volumes were created by General Motors in 1938 and represents the first ever concept car. It was conceived to showcase new technology and new potential areas for industry development. And GM had something to show — pop-up headlights, electric Windows, bumpers, recessed door handles. All these elements of style used by Buick until the mid 50-ies.
Volkswagen Beetle. VW Beetle is to Germany what the model T to America. That is, the first mass car, simple, reliable and inexpensive. And it did "Bug" is known and sold around the world. Production of the VW Beetle began in 1938 and lasted until 2003. Thus, the car set an absolute record in longevity and the number of copies produced over 21 million pieces.
The Fiat Cinquecento. Like the Beetle and Model T, the Fiat Cinquecento (500) were produced worldwide. This allowed the Italians to stake out a place on the roads around the world, but we love Fiat primarily for the fact that it is the first genuine city car with a length less than three meters.
BMC Mini. Designed by sir Alec Issigonis as an economical response to the Suez gas crisis in 1956, he revolutionized the automobile market. Mini is the reason that most small cars today have a transversely mounted engine and front-wheel drive.
Ford Mustang 1964 — car dream in its pure form, has created a new segment of muscle cars. Powerful and big cars have become a symbol of the sixties and seventies, but the Mustang will remain the finest examples of American schools.
Audi Sport Quattro debuted at the Geneva motor show on 3 March 1980 and became the first rally car, for which the rules were changed. Sport Quattro were allowed to participate in races with four wheels. This decision was a turning point for Motorsport and opened a Golden era of Audi victories in the world Championships.
Jeep Cherokee. When in 1984 the Jeep Cherokee came to market, the world shuddered from the realization that the SUV is not just a car for driving on rough terrain, but quite comfortable car for every day. It is with Cherokee began a era of motoring, which continues to this day.
