At the same time, these performance requirements are met by exquisite pure mechanical design, so Audi Quattro has extremely high response speed, which brings great benefits to road driving.
In addition, as long as the active distribution of power does not need the analysis and judgment of sensors and computers, the ultra-high reliability and durability brought by pure mechanical structure are very beneficial to SUVs that need to pass performance.
Extended data:
From a certain point of view, the original automobile alliance is just a new name for some products with a long history, and its management still follows the original structure.
Initially, the automobile alliance was established in zschopau(DKW headquarters).
1936, the new office building of the automobile alliance was built in Chemniss, marking the end of the era of independent automobile development in various places.
A central designer and a central testing department were set up in Chemnis, where new models were developed and tested, and then prototypes and drawings of cars were handed over to various production plants.
From the beginning, the development and design office of the central organization carried out the streamlined idea, based on the patent of Swiss aerodynamics expert paul jaray.
The most suitable aerodynamic characteristics are calculated by theoretical method for the first time, and then the wind tunnel test is carried out.
The frontal drag coefficient of dkw f9 car that has been produced is surprisingly low, reaching cd = 0.42 (the frontal drag coefficient of its predecessor f8 is 0.58), which has become the standard of German automobile manufacturing in the following decades.
Due to the shortage of steel and rubber caused by the arms race, and the high cost of wooden body decorated with leather (from the perspective of a large number of labor demand), the automobile alliance began to develop plastic body together with dynamit automobile alliance in troisdorf, central and western Germany, and evaluated the strength of wood, steel and plastic through collision test for the first time in German automobile history.
In the central laboratory of Chemniss, simulated edge collision, lateral and forward rollover tests were carried out.
The technical department of the laboratory studied all the factors related to materials, developed alloys and special production processes, and studied the technical applications of all new designs.
The technical department focuses on the future engine form, transmission development, research on vibration and noise, and preparations for many complex tests, such as installing catapults in collision tests.
The road test department is responsible for the feasibility test plan, series of tests and monitoring, as well as the comparison test with competitors.
