#Automobile Prototype

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Mercedes-Benz Concept IAA, 2015. The Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile used active aerodynamics to reduce the car's drag at speed. As the car passes 80kph eight segments extend at the rear, increasing its length by up to 390 millimetres; front flaps in the front bumper extend by 25 mm to the front and 20 mm to the rear, improving the air flow around the front end and the front wheel arches; the Active Rims alter their cupping from 55 mm to zero; and the louvre in the front bumper moves 60 mm to the rear, improving the underbody air flow. As a result of this transformation, the Cd value improves from 0.25 to 0.19. It was powered by a petrol/electric plug-in hybrid drive with a total output of 205 kW (279 hp).

Renault Love presents Filante Record Concept!

‘…the Filante Record 2025, named after the Étoile Filante and design-wise somewhat inspired by the 40 CV des Records from the 1920. ...It’s very much a vehicular test-bed for innovation and technology that might find its way to Renault’s road-going portfolio of cars.’ source

This La Ferrari test mule is Maranello’s forbidden fruit

While not conventionally beautiful by any means, there’s something brutally attractive about test mule prototypes. Never intended to be seen by the general public, they’re clad with camouflage to deceive onlookers and hide the next-generation technology hiding under their skin. Of all the test mules you could hope to track down, arguably none are as impressive as this La Ferrari test mule; the creme de la creme of the Holy Trinity. Ferrari is well-known for rewarding its most loyal customers, and this La Ferrari test mule was just that when it was sold in 2016, after it was clear that it was no longer required for testing.

Known internally as ‘M6’, this first-phase test mule prototype was based on a Ferrari 458, albeit with a modified aluminium chassis to accommodate the prototype hybrid LaFerrari powertrain, which includes Ferrari’s Type F140FB V12 engine. While virtually unrecognisable when equipped with the detachable test-mule panels that will accompany the car, without them its 458 base is immediately evident, although here a massive roof scoop has been added to compensate for the lack of side-intakes. Although not homologated and therefore not suitable for use on the road or public race tracks, M6 is fully functional and can be enjoyed on private land. Lacking the usual polish one would expect from a Ferrari road car, the rough edges, exposed wires, and mismatched interior panels only add to this prototype’s raw appeal. Certified by Ferrari Classiche with accompanying Yellow Book, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a supremely cool piece of Ferrari history. If this test mule is actually your ideal prancing horse, then be sure to mark rmsothebys Monaco 2022 sale on May 14th in your calendar.

Volvo Electric 4-Seater Concept - 1976 by Perico001 Via Flickr: During the 1970s, Volvo built a number of experimental vehicles, among them two electric cars. One of these was a 2-seater delivery van, the other was this 4-seater. They were tested in Göteborg. Recently, the Volvo ECM3 hybrid car has shown that a better solution may be a combination of an internal combustion engine and batteries. Vmax : 70 km/h Range : 2 hours ca. 1.000 kg Volvo Museum Arendals Skans 405 08 Göteborg Sweden July 2012

What Automotive Parts Can Be CNC Machined?

CNC machining technology has a wide range of applications in the field of automotive manufacturing and is capable of machining a wide range of automotive parts.

The following are the main categories of automotive parts that can be machined by CNC and their characteristics:

1.Engine components Crankshaft: Crankshaft is an important part of the engine, its shape is complex and requires high precision, CNC machining technology can ensure the high precision machining of the crankshaft, so as to improve the performance and reliability of the engine. Camshaft: The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the engine valves, and the accuracy of its surface profile has a direct impact on engine performance. CNC machining ensures accurate machining of the camshaft. Cylinder head cover & cylinder block: These components have extremely high requirements for sealing and strength, and CNC machining enables precise machining of complex internal cavities and bores to ensure the quality of cylinder heads and blocks. Connecting rod: Connecting rods connect the crankshaft to the piston and are subjected to high alternating loads. CNC machining ensures the precise size and shape of the connecting rods and improves their service life.

2.Transmission System Gear rack: Gear is a key component in the transmission system, its tooth shape accuracy directly affects the transmission efficiency and noise level, CNC machining technology can achieve the precise processing of gear tooth shape. Bearing: Bearings support rotating parts and bear loads, and their precision and surface quality have a significant impact on bearing life and transmission efficiency. CNC machining ensures high precision machining of bearings. Drive shaft: Drive shafts transmit power and torque, and CNC machining enables precise machining of drive shaft surfaces and critical mating surfaces.

3.Chassis components Suspension components: Such as steering knuckles, suspension arms, etc., the structure of these components is complex and requires high precision, CNC machining can ensure the accurate processing of suspension system components, thereby improving the stability and safety of the vehicle. Brake system components: Such as brake discs, brake pads, etc. These components have strict requirements for flatness and dimensional accuracy, and CNC machining can ensure high-precision machining of brake system components.

4.Body components Structural body parts: Such as the body frame, door hinges, etc., these parts need to bear the weight and vibration of the body, the strength of the material and precision requirements, CNC machining can ensure that the body structure parts of the precise processing. Exterior body parts: Such as doors, windows, roofs, etc., these parts have high requirements for surface quality and appearance, CNC machining technology can achieve precise machining of complex curved surfaces and structures, and improve the aesthetics and airtightness of the body.

5.Electronic components CNC machining technology is also widely used in automotive electronic parts processing. For example, in the manufacture of automotive electronic control components, CNC machining centres can process sensors, actuators, controllers and other parts, improving production efficiency and product quality.

6.Other components Fasteners and connectors: CNC machining technology is also able to process a variety of automotive fasteners and connectors, the quality and accuracy of these parts have an important impact on the performance and service life of the car. In automotive welding, for example, CNC machining centres can process complex welded structures and welded joints, improving welding efficiency and product quality.

7.Development Trends With the continuous development of the automotive industry and the continuous progress of technology, the application of CNC machining technology in automotive parts processing will continue to expand and deepen. In the future, CNC machining technology will pay more attention to green and sustainable development, and reduce energy consumption and waste emissions by optimising the machining process and material selection. At the same time, CNC machining technology will also be developed in the direction of precision, to achieve higher precision machining and manufacturing to meet the higher requirements of automotive manufacturing on the accuracy and quality of parts.
