1968 Clymer-MÜNCH MOMMOTH 4 (Germany), 1085 CC 4 cyl in line air cooled
A beautiful of the day of 25 / Jun / 19 😎
Motorcycle historians often quote the Honda CB 750 four as the construction of the "first superbike", but a model of a German brand largely unknown - and with ties to America - came to the market first, and was not Japanese . This motorcycle was the creation of the German friedl münch. Driver since he was 6, münch intended to prepare racing bikes for his own use, but a serious accident ended his hopes for a pilot career. When Horex Ceased Production in the late 50 s, münch acquired the stock of parts and tools and began to design and build his own motorcycles based on the horex Emperor 400 cc twin, equipped with 500 cc.
But münch dreamed of creating a sophisticated motorcycle with supreme performance - what we would know as a "Superbike", and in 1966 he created the mammoth, using 996 cc engine from NSU, a 4 engine. Cylinders for automobiles with 55 HP in a tubular bond structure of its own construction. The machine was heavy (480 lbs) and reached maximum speed of 115 mph - good for the season. The front brake was a 10-Inch Magnesium Casting Massive (250 mm), and used conventional front and rear wheels, but that despite using 5 mm Diameter Rays, the Torque of the of engine would end up removing the rays from the nipples of Regardless, this was the first münch-4 shown to the press, when quickly gained the nickname "Mammut", or mammoth; and had 30 units produced.
Already in 1968, münch used the new 1177 CC NSU TTS car engine for a revised machine, which he called 4 TT (and later, the 4 TTS) or münch4 1200 TTS , while for the American market were offered clymer-Münch Mammooth 4. When the production version premiered, the engine size increased from 1.000 cc to 1.085 cc, while the power rose to 70. Later, in 1968, the displacement grew again, this time to 1.177 cc, pushing production to the 88 HP of this post motorcycle, which had about 500 units produced.
However, these motorcycles were more than twice the price of a BMW, which is why the motorcycle bikes proved difficult to sell, and the company fought to remain afloat. With the health of clymer in decline, the American investor sold his stake in the venture to Arthur Bell in the late 60. S Bell commissioned his son George to run the business he even built a new factory for münch in altenstadt, West Germany, Staying in charge for about a year before leaving the business and in 1971, münch was forced into bankruptcy ✔️

Celebrating 20 Years of the Audi TT at the Isle of Man
DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN — What does a small island in the Irish Sea and its legendarily perilous motorcycle race have to do with a design-forward German sport coupe? Not much, really, but they do share a name.
The thread begins in 1938, when former mechanic and backup rider Ewald Kluge rode a DKW motorcycle to victory in the TT Lightweight class. DKW, as you may know, is one of the four ancestor companies of modern-day Audi that is represented by the marque’s interlocking rings. NSU picked up the thread in 1965 with the Prinz TT, a rear-engine, rear-drive, four-wheeled homage to NSU’s motorcycling successes in the 1950s, including a TT class win in 1954. Then, in 1998, Audi brought the TT to production. Three successful generations later, we’re celebrating that car’s 20th anniversary at the place that spawned it all.
So far, so good, right? What’s not to love about a brilliant, gorgeous little sports car with deep, deep motorsport roots, even if that history was made on two wheels rather than four? Well, it’s mostly made up, that’s what.
You see, while DKW was in fact part of Auto Union (together with Audi, Horch, and Wanderer) at the time of Kluge’s 1938 TT win, the Auto Union that DKW belonged to ceased to exist shortly after the end of World War II. The Soviets took over the newly formed East Germany and dissolved the company, kicking it out of the Zwickau facility and seizing all funds. An all-new company with a similar name was formed from the wreckage in West Germany and a new headquarters setup in Ingolstadt, but not until 1949. The Zwickau plant went on to build the oft-lampooned Trabant until the 1990s, when it came under the VW Group umbrella—and thereby back into Audi’s orbit. Moreover, the DKW that won the race was a split-cylinder two-stroke that bears even less relation to any of the technology deployed in the current TT other than the serpentine corporate rationale.
What about NSU? At the time of its victory on the Isle of Man, NSU was an independent company; it wasn’t until the Volkswagen Group acquired NSU in 1969 that the marque came into the four-ring fold, and only just—from 1959 to 1965, Audi was owned by Daimler-Benz. NSU’s tenure with Audi didn’t last long, however, and by 1977, the brand was dropped completely.
Claiming any sort of direct lineage from the Tourist Trophy to the Audi TT is, therefore, a bit suspect. Worse, this mostly made-up heritage spiel is frippery, mere marketing schlock unneeded to justify or sell what is, fundamentally, an excellent car. The TT stuns with its design, impresses with its performance, and requires no history lesson whatsoever to enjoy.
Perhaps the scattershot, disjointed connection between the TT and its namesake is the crystallization of everything it means to be Audi, from its far-flung and turbulent past to its present market prominence. The desire to link the modern Audi TT to the Isle of Man—and thereby its spiritual predecessors—is an expression of Audi’s desire to define itself and to establish an origin story that helps contextualize the present and give direction for the future. And regardless of the veracity of the link between TT and TT, the car itself is wonderful.
I know this because I’ve just driven the latest Audi TTS Competition over a closed section of the Snaefell Mountain portion of the TT race circuit. Hustled at a brisk seven-tenths, the TTS is lively, rewarding, and deceptively fast—very little effort is required to maintain triple digit speeds over the winding, undulating mountain pass. Of course we’re nowhere near the 180-mph-plus speeds of a modern TT motorcycle racer over this section, but we’re also nowhere near as close to instant death.
Composed is perhaps the most apt description of the TTS’s handling. There are few situations that leave it out of sorts, and despite the typical Audi front-cantilevered engine location, the Quattro all-wheel-drive system does a good job vectoring the torque around to keep the chassis feeling neutral and pointed in the direction the driver intends. Steering feel isn’t tremendous or particularly tactile, but it’s enough to let you know when grip is about to run out, and the ratio is quick but not so quick it makes it hard to be smooth. All in all, it’s a very well-rounded package.
But this isn’t just the TT’s 20th anniversary; this is also the mid-cycle update. So what’s new?
The main technical update is an additional gear in the dual-clutch transmission, up from six to seven. The new seven-speed arrangement allows for the first six gears to be a bit closer, aiding acceleration, and the seventh gear to be a bit taller, improving cruising economy slightly. In practice, the difference is not massively obvious, but the transmission still shifts crisply and quickly, and is still a pleasure to use.
The new shorter gearing means more low-end mechanical torque, too, which means better in-gear acceleration at any speed. The TT carries forward its standard 220 hp, 258 lb-ft 2.0-liter turbo four, while the TTS pumps up the turbo 2.0-liter’s output, and continues forward with 292 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, the same as last year. Quattro all-wheel drive is standard on all American TTs.
Otherwise, the differences are mostly those of appearance and equipment. We in the U.S. get a new front bumper design and some new competition-themed package options, but not the updated 3D-style grille of the European car—we heard mumblings of something about U.S. license plates not allowing for much fun to be had.
As for those competition-themed packages, there’s the Audi TT S-line Competition package, not to be confused with the Audi TTS Competition. While the S-line treatment has been around for a while, the 2019 TT gets a few updates to its S-line package, which includes aluminum S-line door sills, a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, unique contrast stitching, brushed aluminum inlays, Alcantara and leather sport seats with embossing, a new Sport mode for the Virtual Cockpit display, 19-inch Audi Sport wheels, gloss black exterior details, red brake calipers, spoiler, and a 10-mm lower S-line sport suspension.
The TTS Competition package, on the other hand, is a new treatment for the midrange TT, and includes an Alcantara/leather flat-bottom steering wheel with 12 o’clock position indicator, brushed aluminum inlays, Alcantara and leather sport seats, an extended interior leather package, color-themed interior element, 20-inch Audi Sport wheels, gloss black exterior details, a new spoiler and exhaust, and red brake calipers.
A 20th Anniversary version of the TT will be offered, too, called the TT 20 Years. Just 999 examples will be built globally, and just 40 coupes and 40 roadsters will be destined for the U.S.
The 2019 Audi TT and TTS go on sale early next year. Final details and pricing will be available closer to launch date, but we don’t expect prices to rise much from their current mid-$40,000s (TT) and mid-$50,000s starting prices.

Audi is a name synonymous best shapewear with quality and superior manufacturing - but where did this car come from and how, in its 101 year history, has it become the lauded option for automotive option that it is today? Audi has origins of existing since 1909 after August Horch was forced out of car manufacturers Horch and set up a competing company in Zwickau. This company was originally called Horch Automobil-Werke GmbH but after a trademark infringement dispute with his previous company (Horch), the company was renamed Audi Automobilwerke GmbH in 1910. Interestingly, Audi is the Latin translation of the word, 'Horch', which would translate to 'hear' in English.The first Audi car ever manufactured was a 2,612 cc, four cylinder model, which proved to be popular in sporting events. In 1921, Audi became the first German car manufacturer of a production car, the Audi Type K - which was a huge success for the Maternity Shapewear company. Audi also released a six cylinder vehicle in 1924.Following Horch's departure from Audi in 1920, Jorgen Rasmussen acquired the majority of Audi shares in 1928. In 1932, Audi agreed to merge with Horch, Wanderer and DJW to form Auto Union. Within this, they also created the first European car that combined a six cylinder engine with front-wheel drive. Auto Union vehicles also featured the trademark four rings that are present on Audi cars today.Unfortunately, due to Germany's involvement in World War II, the Auto Union plants were drastically altered to cater for military production and were consequently heavily bombed. These factories were later dismantled and Germany's Auto Union AG was liquidated. The former Audi factory in Zwickau restarted construction of pre-war models in 1949.A new Auto Union was launched in Bavaria in 1949 and continued to develop two-stroke engine vehicles. There was, however, no dedicated plant for effective mass production of vehicles. It was only in 1959 that the company were able to washer dryer clearance construct a plant at the Ingolstadt site.In 1969, Auto Union merged with NSU, a fellow German manufacturer, who had specialised in motorcycles but aimed for smaller cars. The new company was known as Audi NSU Auto Union AG, seeing Audi as a separate brand since pre-war period. Volkswagen later introduced the USA to the Audio models in 1970.The first new car was the Audi 100 in 1968, later followed by the Audi 50 in 1972, which would lead to a hugely successful world car. Audi introduced a performance car in 1980, known as the Audi Quattro, which was a great success in rallying. Audi quickly became known as a brand that knew how to develop advances in automotive technology. Audi AG is the company responsible for production of cars of the Audi model. Though not a fully-fledged company themselves, Audi AG have made a huge profit on their successes over appliances houston the years with cars such as the Audi TT. Audi AG is a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group who own 99.7% of all shares in the company.Audi AG's motto is 'Vorsprung durch Technik', which translates into English as 'Advancement through technology'. It is this attitude towards technology and class that has set Audi aside from its competitors since the company was formed all the way back in 1899 by August Horch.The first Audi car was produced in 1901 - albeit under the company name 'Horch', named after the founder. Horch was himself however expelled from the company in 1909, and founded Audi as a second company to rival Horch. The first cars Audi produced were 2.6L four cylinder models and 3.6L models, gaining speed and momentum already in sales figures and profit.During the Second World War, Audi provided a lot of cars and specially designed military vehicles to the German armed forces to aid them in their efforts. After May 1940, no more civilian production took place, with the company (now known as the 'Auto Union' after a merger) decided to provide vehicles solely for military usage.In 1964, well after the war had finished, the Volkswagen Group moved car dealerships in houston in and bought a majority share of the company, a decision that would prove to be remarkably profitable, revolutionizing the company and allowing it to surpass all limits anyone could have imagined for it.After another merger in the late 1960s, the 'Auto Union' became known as 'Audi NSU Auto Union AG'. The first car to be released after this merger was the Audi 100, another instant success, followed by the Audi 80 and Audi 50 not long after. The Audi 50 was renamed the Volkswagen Polo in 1974.Audi at this point had an image of conservatism, and to remedy this they decided to move into the racing and high performance markets. The Audi Quattro, a turbocharged coupe was released to help with their aims in this sector.In the early 21st century, Audi is continuing to do well, with sales and profits growing on a yearly basis, and Audi continuing to be regarded as one of the most successful car companies ever. In 2008, over a million units were sold, and luxury cars houston the profit was around three trillion euros, with a turnover over ten times this. Audi provides employment to over fifty thousand people in countries worldwide and remains a formidable force in the car industry today. When you have a high-performance car, such as an Audi, it should be of primary concern to ensure that it is maintained. The best way to maintain performance is to have a regular Audi service. A stamped Audi service book will help to protect the value of your car. Audi garages and independent specialist garages provide a high standard of servicing. To ensure the best service, it is paramount to choose a reputable garage that uses genuine OE (Original Equipment) parts. This also guarantees that any warranty is protected.

The 2008 Audi TT Clubsport Quattro is the car that Batman would choose should he ever want a different ride! This car is known to be just a 'study'; it was built and designed as an updated version of the TT range. The Clubsport Quattro is the Audi TT in the most classicist form, making the Roadster seem like a walk in the park. The engineering team of Audi set a goal for their latest development, which was to gain purism at a first-class level. Hoodless, no available A-post, rather they opted for a curled windscreen business analyst certification which is kept low in order to purposefully evoke images of a speedster. The windscreen was designed so that one can take in the whole scenery when driving around, the two humps which replaced the hood of this amazing vehicle is evocative of a race car. In comparison to the TT Roadster, the rollover bars which are familiar to the Concept vehicle is placed at a lower angle at the same height as the sports bucket seating. The front grille is single framed not only to give the flat shape but it consists of a silvery white, light metallic element and resistant to corrosion, this aluminum inserts to help along this illusion. As on most of the produced Audi vehicles, the famous logo is located on the bonnet of the 2008 Audi TT Clubsport Quattro Study. The large valve inlets located at the front of the vehicle allows for added air supply to the Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection engine. The Light - emitting diode light stripes which give off a reflection during the day are a real eye catcher. The rear bumper early childhood development produces a real conspicuous silencer and makes it a pleasant feature, while the under blade passes the 'sports car' message along. The twin - branch escape system along with its oval tailpipes is reminiscent to the older production of Audi, specifically the RS 4.The door handles on this vehicle, are non existent, you would have to be in possession of a remote control. This feature adds to the high technology that was initially aimed for. In addition to the 20" wheels and 265/30 R20 tires, the arches have as well been enlarged to add to this blatantly powerfully built vehicle.The initial colors of the RS 4 as well as the S8, is the same color that Audi has used for the 2008 Audi TT Clubsport Quattro Study, which is the Daytona Grey. The color contrast on the vehicle is the interior 'playing' with the exterior, that is to say the shiny and highly reflective metallic essentials along with the grille as well as the side grille is colored in Gun metal, this is a steel based color which fills the TT Clubsport Quattro with a look that says both, muscular and untainted. A visual contrast is built from the orange colors from the brake calipers as this links the exterior to the interior design. The armrests as well as the part of the body of the automobile to which the windshield, hood and the technical schools near me dashboard are attached also the bucket seats provide the color highlights. While on the black leather seats are a laser pattern that has been worked in to the seat, this special feature was specifically designed for the 2008 Audi TT Clubsport Quattro Study and signifies the logo itself.Both occupants of this vehicle will have the luxury of the bucket seats along with the safety feature of a four point belt which are three inches thick. This been the sporty feature that is continued on the inside of the car. Audi is well known for the use of the aluminum metal, both the steering wheel as well as the pedals consists of this metal. The steering wheel is decorated with a dual spoke which is crafted form aluminum. The pedals also made from this relatively light in weight and in texture material, illustrates a ribbed configuration. The pedals not only provide improved grip but at the same time helps save A+ certification training weight. In the 2008 Audi TT Clubsport Quattro Study, both the driver and passenger are provided with footrests.The horizontal part at the bottom of the window, has been restyled, instead of the sill strip, it is now more open to the rest of the car and brings more significance on the width of the vehicle. A door sill, which is positioned further inside the car, as well as the floor mats, now, sports the Audi TT logo in the form of aluminum engrave which adds to the visual attractions.Where one would normally find the middle three round air vents on the dashboard, the Audi team has decided to place a B&O MP3 player Beosound 2. Built by the plus size shapewear premium partner of Audi, the MP3 fits right in the round opening and is an absolute enjoyment for two of the six senses, being the eyes and ears.This been a purist vehicle, the clock as well as the odometer has been deliberately excluded. The vertical pointers and color graphics on the dashboard are the features that will catch your eye.The turbocharged four cylinder component with petrol direct spaying of fuel into the engine breaks the amazing 300 bhp wall. This turbocharged engine was voted 'the engine of the year' in its category in 2005 as well as 2006 and to the thanks of the modified intake; one has been able to get more power out of this extremely resourceful engine. Power is used appliances houston moved to all four wheels, making the 2008 Audi TT Clubsport Quattro Study the initial new-generation TT with a four cylinder engine and quatrro enduring four-wheel force.
