Lamborghini Urraco P300

Despite having been conceptualised as the model to dramatically increase sales and bring Lamborghini greater financial stability, the Urraco P250 proved a commercial flop. Production started in late 1972 following major equipment and floorspace investment. However, by late 1974, less than 500 had been delivered. The Urraco should have gone into production two years earlier than it eventually did. Lamborghini had originally conceived the model with a view to selling over 1000 examples every year.

The disappointing reality left Lamborghini deep in the red, but the Urraco was only partly responsible for a difficult few years.

Compounding the firm’s troubles had been delays for the Countach, a worldwide recession, problems at Lamborghini Trattori and unionised labour, all of which contrived to take their toll on the company founder. In 1972, Ferruccio Lamborghini had sold his tractor company along with 51% of his motor car business. He cashed out of the final 49% in 1974 when the world was in the midst of an energy crisis that slashed demand for gas guzzling machinery.

Throughout this tumultuous period, development work continued on the Urraco. It mainly focused on the Paolo Stanzani-designed V8 engine that had been created especially for the new model at considerable expense. In November 1974, an uprated Urraco P300 was launched at the Turin Motor Show. It immediately went into production alongside the Countach LP400, Espada Series 3 and Jarama S.

Most significantly, the Urraco P300 came with an enlarged three-litre engine. Equally importantly, the power unit now incorporated dual instead of single overhead camshafts.

To take capacity up to three-litres, Paolo Stanzani’s all-alloy 90° V8 was stroked from 53mm to 64.5mm. Bore went unchanged at 86mm for an overall displacement of 2997cc (an increase of 534cc). Compression was dropped from 10.5:1 to 10.0:1. Four new Weber 40 DCNF twin-choke downdraught carburettors were installed to replace the old 40 IDF 1s used previously.

The consequence of these improvements was a dramatic jump in output. Peak power was up 40bhp to 260bhp at an otherwise unchanged 7500rpm. The torque rating also rose considerably; 195lb-ft was now on tap at 3500rpm compared to 166lb-ft at 5750rpm for the P250.

As before, ignition was via two Marelli coils and a single Marelli distributor.

Lamborghini’s five-speed manual gearbox was beefed up to cope with the increased power and torque. Transmission was via a single dry-plate clutch and Lamborghini differential. New damper settings improved the ride, but otherwise little was changed to the existing platform The P300 was based on the same steel monocoque body shell as its predecessor. The engine was housed transversely like the Miura.

Suspension was independent all-round with MacPherson struts, coil springs and telescopic shocks. Anti-roll bars were fitted at either end The twin circuit brake system incorporated unchanged 278mm ventilated Girling discs. Campagnolo’s handsome five-bolt cast magnesium wheels were retained. They measured 7.5 x 14-inches and originally came shod with Michelin XWX tyres.

An 80-litre fuel tank was fitted in the engine bay.

Visually, the only change made to the P300 Urraco was a switch from a two-bank to six-bank radiator cooling vent on the front lid. The rest of Marcello Gandini’s soft wedge creation was unaltered.In a decade not exactly renowned for design longevity, the Urraco proved somewhat timeless. Compared to Bertone’s other mid-engined 2+2, the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4, the baby Lamborghini aged very well, even though it was ultimately outsold by the Maranello product by five to one.Build quality was considerably improved over earlier examples and nowhere was this more apparent than in the cockpit.Bertone had originally been responsible for furnishing the bodyshells, but by the time the P300 was on stream, this work had been taken in-house.

Lamborghini used better quality materials and ensured a higher standard of fit and finish.To this end, P300s were generally equipped with full leather interiors instead of the often garish two-tone leather and fabric combinations seen earlier.

The full width dash layout was still just as haphazard though. The rev counter and speedometer were located at either end of the instrument binnacle and angled in towards the driver. Supplementary gauges and various rocker switches were housed in between.

Lamborghini’s unusual deep dish steering wheel with its four arced horizontal spokes and leather rim was also retained. Like the P250 (which remained in production for a few months longer to use up an overstock of parts), the only update was the gradual shift to anodised black bumpers, wipers and window frames. A more conventional three-spoke steering wheel was also introduced towards the end of production.

What Suspension System Does Porsche Use? A Detailed Overview

Porsche has built a reputation for high-performance vehicles with a focus on precision engineering. One of the critical components that contribute to Porsche's superior driving dynamics and handling is its suspension system. The suspension is responsible for providing comfort, stability, and control, particularly in high-performance and sports cars like those from Porsche. This article delves into the suspension systems used by Porsche, focusing on the specific components, technology, and performance characteristics that define their vehicles.

1. Porsche's Suspension Philosophy

At the core of Porsche's suspension philosophy is the balance between performance and comfort. The company has engineered a range of suspension systems that provide optimal handling without compromising ride quality. The suspension systems are designed to ensure that Porsche vehicles remain agile and responsive, whether on the track or the road.

2. MacPherson Strut Suspension

The MacPherson strut suspension system is one of the most widely used suspension configurations in Porsche vehicles, particularly in the front axles of many of their models. The system was initially designed for compact cars due to its relatively simple design and cost-effectiveness, but Porsche has adapted it for high-performance applications.

Key Features of MacPherson Strut:

    Strut Assembly: The key component is the strut, which integrates the spring, damper, and steering mechanism into one unit.

    Simplified Geometry: The MacPherson strut allows for a more compact and lighter suspension design, which contributes to Porsche's low center of gravity and better handling.

    Cost-Effective and Efficient: Despite being relatively simple, it offers excellent performance, making it an ideal choice for Porsche’s production cars.

The MacPherson strut suspension is found on models such as the Porsche 911 (particularly on earlier models and the 718 Cayman), where its balance of weight, cost, and handling makes it an efficient solution for everyday performance.

3. Double Wishbone Suspension

For Porsche's higher-performance models, including some variants of the Porsche 911, 918 Spyder, and the Cayenne, a double wishbone suspension system is employed, especially on the rear axles.

Key Features of Double Wishbone:

    Precise Control: The double wishbone design uses two control arms, which provide better control over the wheel's movement compared to the simpler MacPherson strut.

    Improved Handling: This system allows for more precise control of camber angles, improving the vehicle's handling at high speeds or when cornering.

    More Complex Geometry: The double wishbone suspension is more complex and expensive to manufacture, but it offers superior handling characteristics, particularly in racing and high-performance driving.

This type of suspension offers higher precision and better performance under extreme driving conditions. It also provides a smoother ride under dynamic conditions, especially in cornering situations.

4. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

Porsche takes its suspension technology a step further with the inclusion of Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), a system that electronically adjusts the damping force of the shock absorbers in real-time. PASM provides drivers with the ability to switch between different driving modes that offer either a more comfortable ride or a stiffer, performance-oriented setup.

Key Features of PASM:

    Adaptive Dampers: PASM features electronically controlled dampers that adjust to road conditions and driving behavior, ensuring optimal performance and comfort at all times.

    Multiple Modes: The system includes different settings such as Normal, Sport, and Sport Plus, each of which tunes the suspension for different driving conditions.

    Improved Handling and Comfort: PASM adjusts the suspension to enhance handling during high-speed cornering or provide a more comfortable ride when cruising on the highway.

This system is found on models like the Porsche 911, Panamera, and Cayenne, enhancing the versatility of the suspension system while maintaining Porsche's performance pedigree.

5. Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)

In models such as the Porsche 911 Turbo, Cayenne, and Panamera, Porsche uses its advanced Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) system. PDCC is an active anti-roll system designed to reduce body roll during high-performance driving.

Key Features of PDCC:

    Hydraulic Stabilizer Bars: The PDCC system uses hydraulic stabilizer bars to actively adjust the level of roll stiffness on each axle independently. This helps reduce body roll during aggressive cornering, maintaining optimal contact between the tires and the road.

    Active Stabilization: By reducing roll, PDCC enhances stability during cornering, improving cornering grip and overall handling.

    Performance and Comfort: While PDCC enhances performance, it also improves comfort by providing a more controlled ride when driving over uneven surfaces.

The system is particularly beneficial for larger models like the Cayenne and Panamera, as it enables them to handle more like sports cars, despite their size and weight.

6. Porsche's Air Suspension System

On models like the Porsche Cayenne and Panamera, an air suspension system is offered as an option. This system utilizes air springs instead of traditional coil springs, providing several advantages, including the ability to adjust the ride height and stiffness of the suspension.

Key Features of Air Suspension:

    Variable Ride Height: Air suspension allows the vehicle's ride height to be adjusted, which can be beneficial for off-road driving (in the case of the Cayenne) or for lowering the vehicle to improve aerodynamics at high speeds.

    Enhanced Comfort: The system can be tuned for an incredibly smooth and comfortable ride, absorbing road imperfections more effectively than conventional coil-spring suspension systems.

    Dynamic Adjustments: Air suspension can adjust to different driving conditions in real-time, offering the flexibility of a sportier or more comfortable ride as needed.

This system provides greater flexibility and comfort, especially in larger vehicles like the Panamera and Cayenne, where ride quality can be critical.

7. Porsche's Race-Inspired Suspension: The 918 Spyder and 911 GT3

Porsche's engineering prowess extends into its race-inspired suspension systems, as seen in the 918 Spyder and the 911 GT3. These vehicles utilize advanced suspension components, such as the multi-link suspension system, combined with the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and dynamic roll stabilization systems for track-worthy performance.

Race-Focused Features:

    Multi-Link Suspension: Used in the rear of the 918 Spyder, this system provides improved handling and traction under high-performance driving conditions.

    PASM and PDCC: Combined with systems like PASM and PDCC, these vehicles deliver maximum control and stability at the limits of performance.

Conclusion

Porsche’s suspension systems are carefully engineered to meet the high-performance standards expected from the brand while balancing comfort and drivability. From the MacPherson strut found in many of its vehicles to the advanced Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and air suspension systems, Porsche offers an array of solutions designed to optimize handling, comfort, and driving dynamics.

All the conditions to beat the rival!

Lan Evo's participation in the WRC will be the Safari Rally, which will be held from April 6th. No WRC title is on the line for this year's Safari. Kenjiro Shinozuka entered there driving a machine. Of course, the rival will be Yoshiro Fujimoto of STI85 Celica. The odds are 50/50. The weak point is the team, which operates with one-tenth the number of people at TTE.

Winning with one-tenth the number of staff is the potential of the machine and the technique of the driver.

click becomes important. One of them

The potential of the machine is completely finished as one of the best in the WRC world. A misfiring system (a device that pressurizes even if the accelerator is turned off with a turbo engine), which is not installed on the Evo II, is added, and it is said that this will increase the speed per kilometer-second.

________________________________________________

A rally journalist sees it this way Toshiyuki Iijima

Although it is behind Toyota and Subaru in terms of winning the WRC championship, it can be said that Lancer is the one to overthrow the points of these two companies. There is a very high possibility that either Toyota or Subaru will lose points and get severely burned due to Lancer's success.

Lancer Evolution III is fast. It will be a big hit after debut. Every event you participate in has a chance to win.

Even the Asia-Pacific players will be in a deadly battle with the Impreza in a marketing showdown in Asia.

The Basics of Suspension Systems

How Suspension Systems Work

A suspension system is designed to maximize the friction between the tires and the road surface, providing steering stability with good handling and ensuring passenger comfort by absorbing and damping shock loads from road conditions.

Main Functions

Support Weight: Suspension supports the weight of the vehicle.

Absorb and Dampen Shocks: Reduces the impact of road irregularities.

Maintain Tire Contact: Ensures that tires remain in contact with the road for optimal traction.

Control Vehicle Direction: Facilitates proper handling and steering stability.

Key Components of Suspension Systems

Springs

Springs are the primary component that absorbs energy from bumps and dips in the road.

Coil Springs: Common in most vehicles, they compress and expand to absorb shock.

Leaf Springs: Typically found in trucks and heavy vehicles, consisting of layers of metal bound together.

Torsion Bars: Use twisting motion to absorb impact, often used in front suspensions.

Air Springs: Use air pressure to provide a smooth ride, commonly found in luxury vehicles.

Shock Absorbers (Dampers)

Shock absorbers dampen the oscillations from the springs, preventing excessive bouncing.

Hydraulic Shocks: Use hydraulic fluid to absorb shock energy.

Gas-Charged Shocks: Incorporate gas to reduce aeration and improve performance.

Struts: Combine a shock absorber with a coil spring in one unit, often used in front suspensions.

Control Arms

Control arms connect the suspension to the vehicle’s frame, allowing for controlled motion and support.

Upper and Lower Control Arms: Provide pivot points for the suspension to absorb vertical motion.

A-Arms: Shaped like an “A,” these are used to ensure stability and support.

Ball Joints

Ball joints act as pivot points between the control arms and the wheels, allowing for smooth steering and suspension movement.

Stabilizer Bar (Anti-Roll Bar)

The stabilizer bar reduces body roll during cornering, connecting opposite wheels through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring.

Bushings

Bushings are rubber or polyurethane components that absorb shock and reduce vibration between metal parts.

Types of Suspension Systems

Independent Suspension

Each wheel on the same axle moves independently, providing better ride quality and handling.

MacPherson Strut: A common type of independent suspension for front wheels.

Double Wishbone: Offers excellent handling, used in performance and luxury vehicles.

Dependent Suspension

Wheels are linked, so movement on one side affects the other.

Solid Axle: Common in trucks and heavy-duty vehicles for durability and load-carrying capacity.

Semi-Independent Suspension

A compromise between independent and dependent suspensions, providing a balance of performance and cost.

Importance of Suspension Maintenance

Regular suspension maintenance is essential for vehicle safety, comfort, and performance. Key maintenance tasks include:
