The 10 Most Beautiful
Cars According to Leading
Automotive Designers,
Gary Witzenburg, on
caranddriver
-Mercedes-Benz 300SL (1954–1957) Based on
Mercedes-Benz's 1952 W194 racer, the 300SL
was produced as a gullwing-door coupe from 1954
to 1957, then as a roadster from 1957 to 1963.
Powered by a 240-hp 3.0-liter inline-six with
mechanical direct fuel injection, the 300SL was
the fastest production car of its time. U.S. importer
Max Hoffman convinced Mercedes management to
build this amazing car and unveiled it in New York
City (instead of in Europe) in 1954 to get it into
U.S. buyers' minds and hands sooner. The SL stood
for "super-light" (superleicht in German), referring
to its race-bred tube-frame construction. M-B built
1400 300SL coupes before switching to roadster
production in 1957.

Jaguar E-type Coupe (1961–1967) “Long, low, sensual.
Still looks amazing." —Ian Cartabiano, vice president
of advanced design at Toyota “Romantic proportions,
elegant, timeless, forever the most beautiful." —Michelle
Christensen, vice president of global design at
Honda “Delectable. Delicious. Sublime! Universally
appealing sculpture on wheels. Drop-dead gorgeous!”

Lamborghini Miura P400/P400S (1967–1971) "The P400 Miura
stunned the world as the most innovative and spectacular
supercar ever seen." —Peter Brock, former designer, General
Motors and Shelby America "I am still in awe of its hood and
shoulder line that blends into the upper door and frames the
scoops adjacent to the side windows." —Ralph Gilles, head of
design at Stellantis "Gorgeous proportion, as if the body was
shrink-wrapped around the mechanicals." —Anthony Lo,
chief design officer at Ford Motor Company "Taut and restrained
athletic elegance.” —Kevin Hunter, president of Toyota's
Calty Design Research “It always stops me in my tracks."
—Irina Zavatski, Vice President of Chrysler Design
Lamborghini Miura P400/P400S
(1967–1971)
Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Split-Window Coupe (1963) The
second-generation Corvette stunned the public when it appeared—
seemingly from outer space—in 1963. One of our panelists who
worked on the car's conception shared that "three or four of us were
there when [soon-to-be GM styling VP William L. Mitchell] walked
in." Peter Brock was then one of four young designers in a remote
basement research studio. "He pulled out a bunch of pictures from
[the Turin Auto Show], and they all had a crisp line around the
belt separating upper from lower and aerodynamic shapes over the
wheels. And the one that really got to him, even though it was two
years old by then, was the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante. Alfa had done
roadster and coupe versions, and Mitchell wanted to do the first
Corvette coupe." Brock's theme won the resulting competition and
led to Mitchell's gorgeous Corvette Stingray race car

Lamborghini Countach (1974–1990) Hard to believe
Lamborghini produced the wedgy mid-engine Countach
for more than a decade and a half. Penned by Bertone’s
Marcello Gandini, who had previously styled the gorgeous
Miura, the Countach first appeared in prototype
form at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. The supercar soon
entered production powered by a 370-hp 3.9-liter V-12
after the prototype’s design was fine-tuned to reduce
aerodynamic drag, improve high-speed stability and
engine cooling, and meet safety standards. It was further
refined through succeeding model years, leading to the
449-hp 25th Anniversary Edition.

WHY HAVE F1 TEAMS TAKEN SUCH A UNIQUE DESIGN
ROUTES- AND WHAT ARE THE BIG DIFFERENCES: TECHNI-
CAL CONTRIBUTORS: MARK HUGHES AND GIORGIO PIOLA,
on formula 1.
As more of the 2022 cars have broken cover in
the last week – either in official launches or, in
the case of Red Bull and Alfa Romeo, out on the
track for shakedown runs – so a clearer picture
is emerging of what are the technical trends and
where the points of differences lie.
The most visually striking point of divergence is
probably that of the method of bodywork cooling
used. Both Aston Martin and Ferrari have committed
heavily to gill cooling on the upper surface
of their sidepods – something allowed for the first
time since it was banned in 2009 – while others
have directed it through tunnels to exit from big
outlets at the back of the car.
But at least one of the cars
with full rear exits has a
bodywork blanking panel atop
the sidepods, suggesting that
a gilled section will be fitted
there in the hotter races.
The hot air, which has just
been through the radiators, is
aerodynamically not useful. Its
energy has been spent and the
contrast in temperature with
the ambient air creates a very
disruptive flow. This is why neither the Ferrari nor
Aston Martin feature the heavy downward ramp
of some other cars where the downward inclination
is used to accelerate the airflow to the space
between the rear wheels and the diffuser exits of
the venturi tunnels. Instead, they have heavily
undercut sidepods to do that job, leaving the top
surface to vent the hot air in a relatively harmless
area.
In the cars with conventional cooling exits at the
rear – usually around either side of the exhaust
tailpipe – the air is being directed around the
beam wing.
Another key point of divergence is that of front
suspension packaging. While most teams have
retained the long-established convention of
pushrod actuated rockers whereby a rod from
the bottom of the wheelhub
is angled upwards to inboard
rockers mounted higher, both
McLaren and Red Bull have
switched to pullrod operation,
where the rod runs from
the top of the wheelhub to
low-mounted rockers inboard.
This choice is all about how the
teams have aligned their inlets
for the venturi tunnels and the
shape of their sidepods. They
are all trying to maximise the
flow to those tunnel inlets and around the side of
the pods. Different bodywork shapes and layouts
will determine whether the pullrod or pushrod
offers a better route for the airflow.

INTERESTING FEATURES THAT MAKES THE TESLA UNLIKE
EVREY OTHER CAR
ALEEYA MAYO AND GRACE KAY, on business insider
One of the most interesting things about Tesla is
the app, which allows drivers to control their car
from virtually anywhere.
Tne app sends real-time updates if sentry mode
were to activate. You can also check the status of
your vehicle while it's charging, control the air
conditioning and heat, and also lock and unlock.
01
All Tesla models are equipped with a driver assistance
system called Autopilot. The feature enables
a car to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically
within its lane. The function does not replace the
role of a driver, but is intended to make driving
easier and cut down on accidents.
The system also features a $15,000 or $199 per
month Full-Self Driving add-on which can change
lanes, as well as recognize stop lights.
New Tesla models have eight cameras and 12
sensors that provide a 360-view of the vehicle's
surroundings, per the carmaker's website. In the
past, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has compared the
cameras to the human eye.
Let's say someone hits your car with a shopping
cart, your Tesla will start recording from the outside
cameras and alert you that your vehicle has
been hit through the Tesla app.

Mercedes-Benz, Smart, Aston Martin, Bentley,
Land Rover, Maserati – Brabus works on
all these brands and more. Troy
Franks, on grandprix247
After tuning and adjusting the systems, the
cars leave the company with the “Brabus”
nameplate – the mark of quality and sporting
ambitions. Everybody knows about it. But
what exactly happens during manipulations
of tuning specialists on all these cars? We
learned about the specifics of creating sports
cars from production cars firsthand.
How long does it take to assemble a V12
engine? How much working time goes into restoring
a classic Mercedes W113 Pagoda, and
what kind of things does Brabus do in addition
to tuning Mercedes-Benz?
What is Brabus?
Atelier Brabus was created by Klaus Brackmann
and Bodo Buschmann. It is from the initial
letters of their names the company’s name
was formed. In 1999, the company joined the
group of companies from Daimler-Chrysler
concern.
Brabus has long ceased to be tuning studio in
the ordinary sense of the word. The company
is officially registered as a car manufacturer.
The maestro of large revisions walked to this
for many decades, therefore the history of formation
of the legendary car tuner is rich and
thorny. Glory is not given to just anyone.
The company “Tuning-Urgestein” was founded
in 1977 by Bodo Buschmann together with
his colleague Klaus Brackmann. The company’s
name is made up of the first three letters
of each of the founders’ names: BRAckmann
and BUSchmann.

For over 40 years, almost all Mercedes-Benz
models made during almost half a century
passed through the hands of Brabus specialists.
The company’s interest to tuning does not
end there. Brabus has its own assembly line
for Smart cars, and also a subsidiary company
Startech, which finishes British and Italian
cars of premium-class Land Rover, Aston
Martin, Bentley and Maserati.
Recently even boats have been tuned under
the Brabus program. The Brabus Classic
department takes care of restoration and repair
of all old and not so old Mercedes and Youngtimers.
And this will be more important: the
preservation of history is a socially active
position.
Only the main plant in Botrop employs about
400 people. In addition to the main staff, experts
are scattered in other subsidiary assembly
shops, including a branch office in Dubai,
offices in London, Düsseldorf and so on. The
company stores can do maintenance and repairs,
and, of course, sell you a new car.
What does Brabus specialize in?
Many tuning studios specialize in individual
parts of the vehicle. Some deal with the
appearance of the car, others – its aerodynamics,
while others specialize in increasing the
performance of the car.
Brabus tuning is a combination of all areas,
which ultimately leads to the creation of an
almost perfect car on Brabus tires.
