1955 BMW 507 1:24 Motormax

 

 

The BMW 507 is a roadster that was produced by BMW from 1956 to 1959. Initially intended to be exported to the United States at a rate of thousands per year, it ended up being too expensive, resulting in a total production figure of 252 cars and heavy financial losses for BMW.

The BMW 507 was conceived by U.S. automobile importer Max Hoffman who, in 1954, persuaded the BMW management to produce a roadster version of the BMW 501 and BMW 502 saloons to fill the gap between the expensive Mercedes-Benz 300SL and the cheap and underpowered Triumph and MG sports cars. BMW engineer Fritz Fiedler was assigned to design the rolling chassis, using existing components wherever possible. Early body designs by Ernst Loof were rejected by Hoffman, who found them to be unappealing. In November 1954, at Hoffman's insistence, BMW contracted designer Albrecht von Goertz to design the BMW 503 and the 507.

Thirty-four Series I 507s were built in 1956 and early 1957. These cars had welded aluminium fuel tanks of 110 litres (29.1 US gal) capacity behind the rear seats. These large tanks limited both boot space and passenger space, and gave off the smell of fuel inside the car when the soft top was up or the hardtop was in place. Series II and later 507s had fuel tanks of 66 litres (17.4 US gal) capacity under the boot, shaped around the space for the spare tyre.

1995 Chrysler Atlantic Concept Guiloy Made In Spain 1:24

The Chrysler Atlantic was a retro concept car created by Chrysler. It was first shown in 1995. The Atlantic was designed by Bob Hubbach and inspired by the Bugatti Atlantique. The idea for this car began out as a sketch on a napkin by Chrysler's president Bob Lutz in early 1993 and also involved the automaker's chief designer, Tom Gale.

The Atlantic has several similarities to the opulent vehicles of the 1930s such as the aforementioned Bugatti Type 57S Atlantique (or Atlantic). Its styling is also more than a little inspired by the Talbot-Lago T150 SS Coupe that was constructed in 1938, such as the shape of the side windows and the curved boot. Some of the retro details include a straight-8-engine that was actually constructed from two 4-cylinder Dodge Neon engines with an S configuration 4.0 L., which is rarely used in modern cars. Other retro touches to the car's look include the interior that is replete with Art Deco-style gauges. The Atlantic Concept has around 360 horsepower (268.5 kW) and uses Chrysler's Autostick transmission. Riding on a 128-inch (3,251 mm) wheelbase, its front wheels measure 21 inches and 22 inches in the rear — large at that time.

It was one of Chrysler's most popular concept vehicles and has proven popular enough to still make the occasional public appearance.

The Atlantic's popularity has also allowed its overall design and image to be associated as part of both advertising and labeling of packages associated with a variety of automotive car care products, accessories, and electronics.

BMW M6 Cabriolet Maisto 1:18

 El BMW M6 es la versión de altas prestaciones del BMW Serie 6, un automóvil deportivo Gran Turismo en carrocerías coupé o descapotable de 2 puertas, producido por el fabricante alemán BMW de 1983-1989; y nuevamente revivido de 2005-2018. Ha sido reemplazado por el BMW M8 con el resurgimiento de la Serie 8.

La nueva serie 6 de BMW surgió por la necesidad de ofrecer a sus clientes un coupé que continuase con la tradición de los modelos 2000 C/CS, 3.0 y 3.5 CS/CSi/CSL. Este modelo significa Serie 6 Coupé Sport inyección electrónica, con un motor de 3453 cm³ (3,5 L; 210,7 plg³): el BMW 635CSi, de ahí las siglas.

La carrocería fue desarrollada por Paul Bracq, jefe de diseño de BMW entre 1970 y 1974, mientras que la parte técnica corrió a cargo de Bernhard Osswald y salió a la venta en 1976. Lo más característico del nuevo modelo, era su frontal con inclinación negativa, su gran superficie acristalada, sus archiconocidos dobles "riñones" que forman la calandra del radiador y sus dobles faros redondos.

Para mover este coupé, se escogió el motor de seis cilindros en línea M30B34 -adaptado desde el mismísimo BMW M1- y un sistema de inyección electrónica Bosch L-Jetronic, desarrollando 218 CV (215 HP; 160 kW) a las 5.200 rpm y un par motor máximo de 310 N·m (229 lb·pie) a las 4.000 rpm. La potencia se transmitía a las ruedas traseras a través de una caja de cambios Getrag 265 de cinco velocidades con diferencial autoblocante para controlar la potencia. Alcanzaba los 222 km/h (138 mph), que era mucho para la época.
