Rondeau M482
The Rondeau M482 was a Group C sports car prototype designed, developed and built by Automobiles Jean Rondeau in 1982, and used in sports car racing until 1987. Development history and technology In 1982, a team of engineers led by Jean Rondeau developed the first true Group C Rondeau, the M482. The previous model, the M382, was largely based on the most successful Rondeau type, the M379. While Don Foster designed a new chassis, the French racing car designer and aerodynamicist Max Sardou designed a very round, almost voluminous body. A special feature of the racing car was the rear. In a so-called Venturi channel, the Venturi effect should be used to provide more downforce on the rear axle. As innovative as the car seemed at first glance, it was badly designed. In order to make the large tunnel possible, the exhaust pipe was routed past the radiators on the left and right of the car. Due to this design, the function of the cooler was largely restricted, which led to constant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
