In 1970 the dream car for Turin Motor Show is intentionally extreme in shapes and technical solutions, but anyway thought for mass- production.<\/p>\n
The starting point is the Volkswagen Porsche 914\/16<\/strong>, but between this prototype and the production version there isn\u2019t the slightest similarity. The formal trend refers to de Tomaso Mangusta<\/strong> more than the Iguana, presented a year before.<\/p>\n Softness and litheness give way to abrupt lines<\/strong>, straight radii and pronounced corners. <\/strong><\/p>\n The wedge is used here for the first time<\/strong>, and it will be used again in many other cars in years to come. Doors and hoods are very exotic and considered fancy solutions for the time like seagull wing<\/strong> opening door for passengers and engine. This solution imposed the design of a \u201ccross\u201d steel central structure<\/strong> that carries longitudinally the hinges of doors and hoods, while transversally becomes a roll-bar. Lights, foldaway, are protected by a square overhang.<\/p>\n Trivia <\/strong><\/p>\n Volkswagen Porsche Tapiro was bought by a private collector, but faced a cruel fate: in the 80\u2019s this prototype, a unique, was found completely burned<\/strong> after a car accident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nel 1970, la dream car per il Salone dell’Auto di Torino \u00e8 volutamente estrema nelle forme e nelle soluzioni tecniche, ma comunque pensata per la produzione di massa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10360,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"project-brand":[592,574],"project-category":[516],"class_list":["post-14176","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-brand-porsche-it","project-brand-volkswagen-it","project-category-automotive-it"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
