Mercedes-Benz CW 311 (1978-1982) - Concorde with three pointed star
After the project was CW 311 designer Eberhard Schulz. In this line of work is not no stranger, my first coupe powered generators GTE built already in 1969 Nine years later he began work on a modern wedge-shaped supercar for two. Self-organized the workshop in Leonberg. Staffed by Porsche and it is here the chief designer responsible Anatole Lapine! But, Herr Schulz always love looking at classic Mercedes 300 SL W198 series drugs with racčími wings. After all, he had also worked Untertürkheim, already in the 60s. A decision was made. Formed his ideological successor. He got together with Frankfurt styling mage Rainer Buchmann from the company B + B and together they embarked on the development of a new car.
The first sketch was already on Christmas 1972 non-functional mock-up in "life-size" was born the next two years. The result presented in Geneva in 1978 and work caused a sensation. White prototype had a centrally placed engine Mercedes-Benz, drugs some chassis components, however, bear the Porsche drugs logo. I still Schulz placed on the bow three pointed star logo. And that meant a problem, because in Untertürkheim about it somehow nobody knew. The new car has not escaped the attention of the media and the representatives of Daimler-Benz wondered. As advertising but it worked drugs perfectly, so the originally planned (and logical response) occurred. With Eberhard Schulz agreed, the creator was otherwise a thoroughly respectable man, and so he was granted an exemption and famous emblem could legally use.
Original white prototype CW 311, the rear axle mounted V8 engine with the designation M100. He came from a series W116, nothing stronger in the Federal Republic could not get anyway. Dvouventilové heart volume of 6834 cm 3 with a pair of chain-driven camshafts in the heads was tuned to around 361-375 hp (266-276 kW) at 5200 rpm. The compression ratio was 10 to 1. Up to 570 Newton meters at 3000 min -1 highest transmitted five-speed manual backwards. Limousines from Mercedes were only incidentally machine. Laminate body body upward swing doors rested on the classic tubular frame. It was only 4100 mm long, at the present time also quite narrow: 1820 mm, height 1110 mm, however, clearly match the orientation of the car. Axles were separated from each other only 2400 mm. In tests humbled 1250 kg light prototype hundred in 4.8 s, then twice during the 12.7 rode 319 km / h. All it would therefore most modern cars in this category - especially at maximum speed. Herr Schulz after the then still relatively free German autobahns have no speed limits chase. Incidentally, the cockpit represented literally been widely used phrase "dashboard angled towards the driver."
K above the cited performance helped him with tires size 285/40 front and 345/35 VR15 VR15 rear, four brake discs, on average, measured only 300 mm. But thirty-five years ago it was enough. In the fuel tank could hold 120 liters of the precious liquid. Let's not forget that the world had had a second fuel crisis, unfortunately consumption figures are not known.
White supersport with only external rear-view drugs mirror mounted on the roof (!) Became a movie star. He played in the German comedy Abduction cars (in the original Bestellt - geklaut - geliefert). Then he made in 1980 Wigbert Wickert and starring a man who steals his porsche and because he finds himself on a slippery slope clipped Bernd Stephan. Your car with rainbow stripes drugs finds familiar with the gang of thieves luxury sedans and sports cars ... and becomes his boss. Behind the wheel of the first prototype, which remained inscriptions and B + B but sat down when shooting drugs at Salzburgring circuit Austrian double world champion Niki Lauda F1.
The two-door two-seater coupe wedge, very timeless design and clean shapes to drag coefficient is 0.311 but eventually garnered dvouventilového eight-cylinder engine with 103 mm bore and stroke of 95 mm. These parameters correspond to the volume of 6239 cm third Fuel into the cylinders already gave injection from Bosch. The power rating of this unit in various sources, ranging from 400 to 476 hp (294-350 kW), but always at 5150 rpm. Driven drugs course was again rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox ZF, which was put in charge of up to 600 Nm of torque drugs at 3000 min -1. This and other cars were about 1 mm wider. Bolide with higher curb weight of 1360 kg, sprinting drugs from zero to hundred in 4.9 s.
Determine the number of vehicles produced today is difficult, said to them was ten! The white car was given the registration number F - CW 311, silver, already with a transparent cover of the headlamp HH - CW 3114 and still photos recorded at least three other silver-supercars. All differ. The original had exhausts on the left and the wheels in the same color. The second prototype we find instead a "hole" for the air intakes to the engine. The third car got these other outlets and has a similar registration plate HH - CW 1414 However, drugs it is apparently a later Isderu Imperator 10
