Bizarre German Car That Was Ultra Aerodynamics and totally impractical.
Slide 1 of 7 Legend Legend The Schlörwagen was nearly 7 feet wide, mainly because of its body panels covering the front wheels DLR.
Slide 2 of 7 Legend Legend The car was designed by the German engineer Karl Schlör, who worked at the Research Institute of Aerodynamics Aerodynamischen Versuchsanstalt or AVA Riga occupied by the Germans DLR.
Slide 3 of 7 Legend Legend In 1942, engineers have a Russian aircraft engine 130 horsepower and bolted to the back of the car for a short test DLR.
Slide 4 7 Legend Legend The Schlörwagen, like other aerodynamically designed cars of the time, took the form of an airplane wing or teardrop DLR.
Slide 5 of 7 Legend Legend DLR has a template 1 5-scale using the original plans, and receives through a wind tunnel on the occasion of his 75th birthday DLR.
Slide 6 7 Legends Legend Unlike modern Toyota Prius, the car could accommodate up to seven passengers DLR.
Slide 7 7 Legend Legend The Schlörwagen was unveiled in Berlin in 1939 DLR.

What makes it so efficient Prius fuel hybrid powertrain is much, yes, but put this in a box on wheels like the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen or even a Kia Soul and it is not nearly as helpful the Prius can deliver 51 mpg in large part because Toyota engineers have worked tirelessly to their computers and in the wind tunnel to ensure it cuts through the air as easily as possible.
However, with respect to the Schlörwagen, a German experimental vehicle 1939, Prius is a hybrid brick has a coefficient of drag of a measure of the effectiveness of its movement in the air from 0 to 25, which the square outside the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt, but behind the Tesla Model S diesel and Mercedes-Benz CLA the Schlörwagen overwrites all, pointing to an incredible 0 15 he also sitting in September, was once a Russian aircraft engine attached to it, and may have been stolen by the British after the Second World war.
Despite the lack of wind tunnel tests in general and computer modeling, the 1920s and 1930s were a time booming for aerodynamics Czech Tatra 77, Chrysler Airflow and Mercedes-Benz 540K Streamliner were impressive attempts for drag these cars were in line with the still rather primitive understanding of aerodynamics and streamlining the day, which is close to a car as close to a drop of water as possible, said Sam Livingstone, design for Director and Research a judge for the world because the prices they seemed a little unusual but not crazy, and they went into production, with varying levels of success.
The Schlörwagen was something else German engineer Karl Schlör at Aerodynamischen Versuchsanstalt Aerodynamic Institute in Göttingeng, started with a Mercedes 170H 38 horsepower Inspired by the shape of airplane wings, it redraws the outside, adjusting windows flush with the hull for cleaner airflow and extension of the body on the front wheels Basically, Schlörwagen is a wing on the wheels, said Andreas Dillmann, director of the Institute of Aerodynamics and flow Technology in Aerospace Center German DLR, the successor of Aerodynamischen Versuchsanstalt.
The result, unveiled at the International Motor Show 1939 in Berlin was nicknamed the Egg Göttingen It was nearly seven feet off a few inches narrower than a first generation Hummer and had three rows of seats for September
The changes worked 170H peaked at about 65 miles per hour Schlörwagen, using the same engine, hit 84 and it was only eight liters of fuel to cover 62 miles, 20 to 35 percent improvement The 0 15 drag coefficient is beaten only by modern designs less practical cars like the General Motors EV1 and Volkswagen XL1.
The only example of Schlörwagen was kept in a decrepit building near Göttingen, where the seats and the wheels have been removed during the war the British military administration finally towed somewhere, and he has not been seen since a theory says the car was sent to England, but Jessika Wichner, head of DLR Central Archive, said it is very likely that the body was badly damaged simply discarded.
To mark the 75th anniversary of the creation of car, the team built a model Dillmann January 5 scale based on the original drawings, and he put in a wind tunnel to see how it performed They found that the air clung well to the vehicle without causing turbulence stalls or slow down.
So why didn t this wonder windbreaker become the new model for cars everywhere Schlör emphasis on aerodynamics was at the expense of other considerations, for example, the car is remarkably smooth on the head and moves through the wind almost effortlessly, but the car is so great that a stiff crosswind could send careening sideways.
When the war came in Europe, the car was largely forgotten after a final round track In 1942, engineers rigged with the engine of a Russian plane captured Creating unsightly, with an additional 130 power, made some towers a test track in Göttingen If everyone was hoping for a breakthrough in performance, however, clearly didn t work.
While a fascinating historic relic, the Schlörwagen didnt much to teach us about car design, Livingstone said was just too singular purpose, with little concession to the other things we want our cars obviously modern cars must adopt essentially inherently less aerodynamic shape to give a decent package for cabin space and provide good visibility, crash performance and engine cooling.
Then only charge not expect to see anything like Schlörwagen again, anything much less with a Russian aircraft engine bolted to the trunk.
The German car Bizarre It was UltraAerodynamic and totally useable WIRED, weird, German, totally impractical.
