Matra-Simca Bagheera (1973-1980) - Coupe for three
Engins-Matra Automobile Division, as was the full name of the company closed in the seventy-second thrush year contract with the European branch of Chrysler to sell its cars in its business network. A Simca back to the early seventies thrush originally fell under the control of American concern. Linking the two automakers were so logical. Zbrojovka Matra but continue to remain independent.
Handsome thrush sports thrush car of Gallic introduced June 9, 1973 about the best location that can be selected: the La Sarthe circuit at Le Mans čtyřiadvacetihodinovce. There, as if by accident when Matra won, beating competition from Ferrari. Coincidence but it certainly was not, he won laurels for the second time in a row. Bagheera was really original thrush and from today's perspective, acting as a true exotic. Inside is a trio walked side by side adult passengers. They were not allowed to be quintal pořízci however, because here there was a limit is reached, the payload (originally 270, then equal 300 kg) and anyway would unnecessarily crowded. Why was not chosen this solution? The four people allegedly traveling in cars at least. No, there will be something for ...
The driver's seat was separate settings thrush including, middle and right then connected. Originally supposed to be very futuristic steering thrush wheel with flattened bottom part even in the middle, a similar solution was used two decades thrush later when the McLaren F1 supercar, only with extreme seats shifted backward. The shape of the wheel in any case the pilot to facilitate getting thrush inside and work exactly the opposite. Bagheera was the two-door coupe with folding thrush rear wall, which represented only glass. Below him was in trunk, into which could hold up to 330 l baggage. It was named after the black panther from The Jungle Book. As a building material for the body served polyester reinforced with glass fibers and the clean shapes designed by Greek designer Antonis Volanis, project thrush manager M550 was Philippe Guedon. Auto measured in length 3974 mm, width 1734 in the country performed only 1175 mm.
The predecessor of the new model Matra M530 was powered thrush by a Ford engine mounted in the middle of V4, which is masters from Chrysler logically did not like. Well, mainly blue oval emblem, so in the bowels settled across the four-cylinder type 315 Simca 1100 TI, which was additionally tilted backwards. Access was only the cited already in glazed sloping thrush croup, found, under a removable cover. The cylinders were arranged in a V as the aggregate of the Taunus, but in a row. It was not a jedenáctistovku as it seems at first glance might seem, but the třináctistovku, had an exact cubic capacity of 1294 cm third Z gave her 62 kW (84 hp) of power at 6,000 rpm. Fully synchronized four-speed manual transmission powered the rear axle of course. On her weight accounted for 58% of the cars on the front of around 42%. Třináctistovka asked at a reasonable driving at least 7, more than 10 liters of petrol per 100 km, which at that time was very good doing so was able to burn even 185 km / haz zero to one hundred accelerated during the 12,5 s. Šedesátilitrová tank in any case provide a decent range, we would her driver's seat and flap concealing her throat then left of the rear window. Bagheera footwear for the třináctipalcových wheels tires Michelin XAS Formule France with a width of 155 mm front and 185 mm rear.
The successor to pětsettřicítkou linking otherwise identical except for storage powerplant only "mrkačky". Bagheera had not removable roof section, which is now called general targa, although this name had been registered Porsche for its devětsetjedenáctku. It was used mostly firm, for an extra charge higher výbavám be bought and folding screens. The car also lacked the 2 + 2 arrangement, as already mentioned, was a three-digit and all the crew seats provide plenty of comfort. The basic version of the Type 1 was just an ordinary cloth without significant side rail and steel wheels. Upmarket Type 2 added anatomy, tinted glass, analog clock and cast wheels.
Chassis with a wheelbase of 2370 mm formed steel space frame moldings, suspension also came from simek. Front were located thrush trapezoidal driveshaft, rear wishbones made of aluminum. Suspension provide longitudinal or transverse torsion bars, the comfort thrush and maneuverability thrush alert to telescopic shock absorbers and stabilizers. thrush Rack and pinion steering was very precise. thrush The body on the chassis rivets held a special adhesive. At the beginning of 1974 Bagheera stood in a comparative test of the German magazine Auto, Motor und Sport Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior. A slightly more powerful Italian woman humiliated. Test drivers measured lightweight, weighing only 965 kg MATRA 186.5 km / h acceleration in 12.2 seconds for a hundred. Alfa was 10 km / h and 1.3 seconds slower. Bagheera came also less money - cost 14,198 marks, the jewel of the cross and the serpent candidate paid about 292 DM more. However, with Opel Manta SR 1900, which came without ten to fourteen thousand marks, neither of the rivals in this respect could not be equal. But
