reckless Bimoto

for the first time we were introduced to project Bimoto as early as 2001. Then, during the visit to MTM , us were conducted into the boxing, where stood Audi TT with the body, "undressed" to the base. Its form produced, undoubtedly, very sad impression - without the glass, the details of formulation and with the dismantled to the floor salon. But us the engine, concluded in the space in the tail end of the body, forced to be gripped for the camera and to begin survey. But only later to us they demonstrated - no longer without the pride - and the second motor, which was remained on its customary TT- position under the cowling. But at that time, in 2001, in MTM they related to Bimoto with the light portion of irony. By the creation of automobile wonder was occupied predominantly Michael Kunze, for which this became diploma project. Only later it passed to the work into another company.

As then it seemed the large part of the works on the creation of twin-engined automobile was already made, and therefore in MTM they preferred to continue its building, also, after its withdrawal. At this time the head of company Roland Meyer acquires viden'e of unique automobile. Certainly, first of all Bimoto it had to become for MTM living embodiment of the inzhiniringovogo potential of company, and also by the demonstration of its possibilities as specialist in tyuningu Audi. Therefore on Bimoto were laid the defined hopes as for the the uncommon of demo- penalties. Only later were made the first estimations of the real possibilities of automobile, which forced Mr. Meyer to reexamine their views already in that stage in MTM they knew how to increase the power of native 1,8- liter turbine engines from TT to approximately 300-350 forces. The simplest calculations prompted that after all losses to the transmission of 600 forces per ridiculous 1500 kg of the equipped mass ensured the dynamic characteristics at good level it was super-cirque peace.

From this point on, began another part of history Bimoto - on the creation of automobile with the record characteristics. Sufficiently unexpectedly MTM was occurred the possibility to enter its name in the gold chapter of automobile construction, after travelling way from tyuningovika to the automobile specialist with cult status. After several test trips in MTM they set as their goal reaching the maximum speed into 400 km/h. Let us recall that the best result, achieved on the "series" automobile, remains record McLaren F1 of ten-year remoteness into 371 km/h. But the majority of the existing tyuningovykh versions Porsche and other is super-cirque with the power of engine of more than 700 forces so we could not move further result into 350-360 km/h.

Way to stated problem lasts already for long - it is more than year. In this time in MTM could be introduced and attempt to solve the problems in many directions of automobile construction. They had time to work, also, above the synchronization of the work of two engines and gearboxes, above decrease in the equipped mass and above aerodynamics. Last region, judging by everything, appears thus far for MTM most that closed. In the company already initiated the complete complex of studies of aerodynamics of its Bimoto . First of all, on the conditions of task is in prospect to work nevertheless with the body of the plant TT. basic purpose it is reaching maximum speed, and consequently, the coefficient of aerodynamic drag must be smallest possible. But in this case automobile must be steady and stable at any speeds of motion, and consequently, special attention it is necessary to give to the pressing force on both axes.
