Lamborghini Espada 400 GT Lancomat, 1968. The Bertone designed Espada was first revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1968. At the Turin Motor Show of November that year Lamborghini presented a version of the car with hydropneumatic suspension which was subsequently offered as an option for the 4-seat GT. However low-take up meant the hydraulic-based system was dropped (regular 400 GT pictured)

tell me more about suspention thangs, also just please talk about shell types thats veery fun
There's many different suspension systems. My area of expertise is WW2, which saw various forms of suspension. Russian tanks of that era used Christie suspension until the T-44, which switched to Torsion Bar, which is used all the way up until the T-90 of today. British tanks tended to use spring based systems during WW2, but have since switched to hydropneumatic suspensions. American tanks also used springs in the early war, but switched to torsion bars with the M26 Pershing, and have used those up to the M1 Abrams. German tanks were using torsion bar since the start of the war, and have carried that on to their Leopard II MBT.
There's a lot of variety in tank shells. HE rounds are your traditional big boom rounds, great against light armoured targets and infantry, as well as for blasting apart enemy fortifications, but if there's any armour, they're pretty much useless. AP shells are good for piercing that armour, but they lack the same damaging capabilities. APHE and HEAT (Armour Piercing High Explosive and High Explosive Anti Tank) are your tank-killer rounds of choice during WW2. They can pierce armour, and take out the crew. After WW2, various Sabot rounds were developed, but I'm not as well educated on them.

Understanding Citroen Brake Technology
New Post has been published on https://www.carbrakes.net/understanding-citroen-brake-technology/
Understanding Citroen Brake Technology
Citroen has always prided itself on having high standards when it comes to brake technology. They have been in the car industry for almost a century, and over the years, they have invested in the development of innovative braking systems. Developing the latest braking technology provides convenience, reliability and safety for all Citroen drivers, whether for on city streets or the motorways.
Citroen has developed several types of brake technologies to suit all types of driving. One of the most important brake technologies that define the safety and performance of their cars is the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). This system helps prevent skidding, over-steering and under-steering in slippery situations. The hydraulic pressure generated by the brakes provide steady and reliable braking power, while the anti-lock braking system helps to reduce the risk of skidding.
For added safety, Citroen models are also fitted with brake assist systems. Whenever the driver quickly applies the brakes, this technology boosts the braking performance, snapping the car to a stop in the shortest possible time. The brake assist system also allows for improved stability during sudden braking.
For those who enjoy long-distance journeys, Citroen offers brake technology that ensures safe and comfortable rides. The Active City Brake system is designed for slow traffic speeds. It helps reduce speed whenever there is an unexpected situation, such as an animal running onto the road ahead. In this case, the car will automatically reduce speed and alert the driver. This system is especially useful for those living in front of a busy road or intersection.
The Citroen hydropneumatic suspension system is one of the most impressive braking technologies developed by the French manufacturer. This system minimizes the amount of wear and tear on the brakes for a smoother and more comfortable ride. The suspension system also gives the driver a better handling on the road.
In conclusion, Citroen is not mired in the past, but instead continues to create and use advanced technologies to ensure the safety and comfort of its customers. It is no wonder then that they make some of the best cars in the industry. The above-mentioned technologies only serve to amplify their commitment to providing reliable and enjoyable rides to drivers.

What a difference 50 years makes juxtaposition of Citroën GS X, 1973 and Citroën ë-C4 X, 2023. The GS was Citroën’s first C-segment offering, bridging the gap between the larger DS range and the smaller 2CV/Dyane/Ami models. It represented a design and technological advance for the segment offering hydropneumatic brakes and self-levelling suspension, an aerodynamic body shape by Robert Opron and an air-cooled flat-4 engine. The GS X was the “sporty” model variant. The new ë-C4 X is Citroën’s latest C-segment offering, a high-riding crossover fastback available with all-electric, petrol and diesel drivetrains

1992-2002 Citroen Xantia: The replacement for the Citroen BX It was a large family car with the option of an estate meant to compete with the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra and the likes of the Rover 600. Though It was a popular buy selling up to 130,000 In the UK, It was never able to outsell the two darlings of the British saloon market, the Mondeo and Vectra. It was a platform shared with Peugeot's 406 however the 406 never came equipped with the Xantia's hydropneumatic suspension system pioneered In the original DS which gave the Citroen superior handling and stability characteristics. The Xantia was facelifted In 1997 to give It a more modern look to match the other cars they offered such as the Saxo and Xsara. The Xantia was to be replaced by the Citroen C5 In 2000 however they were seen In showrooms together for a couple years after. Production of the Xantia continued until 2010 for the Iranian market. The one photographed Is a 2.0 diesel facelift first regestered In December 1999

Market Analysis And Growth Of Global Air Suspension Market
Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the air suspension market would exhibit a CAGR of 7.19%  for the forecast period and is expected to reach the USD 12.86 billion by 2029. An air suspension system is a type of vehicle suspension that uses an electric pump or compressor to pump air through flexible bellows constructed of a textile-reinforced rubber. Unlike hydropneumatic suspension, which has many of the same benefits, air suspension uses compressed air rather than pressurized liquid. The bellows are inflated by the air pressure, which lifts the chassis away from the axle. In heavy vehicle applications, such as buses and trucks, and in some passenger automobiles, air suspension replaces traditional steel springs.

Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Hearse Conversion (Ideal for going to a black metal concert or taking a short walk to the cemetery).
The Rolls Royce Silver Spur is a long wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit produced from 1980 to 2000. Over its 20-year production run the Silver Spur received multiple refreshes and was the first Rolls Royce car to feature a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy. This specific example is a Silver Spur Extended. The Spirit and Spur have hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension with Girling automatic hydraulic ride height control systems and gas-charged shock absorbers. Likely because of the advanced suspension tech in the Spur, this vehicle was selected to be the recipient of a Hearse conversion.

Taking the V12 engine to 4 litres The technical cornerstone of the Espada was the 60° V12 engine that was first produced in 1963 with a displacement of 3.5 litres, which had already been increased to 4 litres (3929 cc) in 1964. It is a remarkable example of engine development technologies, and it was capable of delivering 325 hp at 7200 rpm when it was first fitted in the Espada. This increased to 350 hp at 7500 rpm in the Espada Series II, which was presented in 1970. Fed by six Weber 40 DCOE side-draft carburettors, the V12 had a compression ratio of 9.5:1 (which increased to 10.7:1 from the Series II onwards) and two chain-driven overhead camshafts per bank. It weighed just 232 kg thanks to the substantial use of aluminium to make not only the cylinder head but also the crankcase and the pistons. It was front-mounted in a position that was slightly further forward compared to the previous Lamborghini 350/400 GT engines, in order to make the interior roomier. Thanks to the large opening below the aluminium hood, it was easily accessible. The chassis was based on that of the 400 GT but it was lengthened so that the wheelbase reached 2650 mm and it was also widened, with the wheel track increasing to 149 cm. It had four-wheel independent suspension, with double wishbones and coil springs. In November 1968, an Espada “Lancomat” with hydropneumatic suspension went on display at the Turin Motor Show. The system was made available on-demand, but in the end, it was chosen by very few owners. The Espada was an extremely fast grand tourer that was capable of reaching a top speed of between 245 and 260 km/h and keeping up with the sportier Miura in most conditions. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfi4GXcrhqL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
