Aston Martin Speed Model | Pure Pre-War 4 cylinders Sound ! Le Mans Classic 2022

Описание: The most advanced and successful pre-war Aston-Martin, designed to incorporate significant improvements over the earlier MkII and Ulster models, and with a larger and more powerful 2 litre engine. Built jointly by Lockheed and Aston-Martin, the hydraulic brakes were both innovative and extremely effective; it was not until the advent of the disc brake that they were matched. The front axle was a new and patented design that allowed the whole unit to pivot, controlled by an adjustable radius arm that allowed the caster angle to be quickly adjusted. The front axle greatly improves handling compared to previous models. There was also a new and improved gearbox - still a crash type - but more robust and capable of handling 200hp with a much improved selection mechanism. The gearbox is also lightweight, with its housing made of Elektron, a magnesium alloy. The chassis was wider and stronger than the Ulster's, with a slightly shorter wheelbase. Aston-Martin equipped the Speed to the highest standards, including the Scintilla power equipment. Although 25 chassis numbers were allocated to these cars, only 23 were produced. This shortfall is probably due to their very high production costs, with the brakes alone accounting for 15% of the total cost!
