Rear engine cars inherently swing out in a turn if not properly driven. This is why Porsche tried to kill the 911. Later the Corvair got the Stinger package, which had more scoot. Beautiful example of the Corvair convertible.

I visited yesterday for the first time. What an amazing place and this car was my favourite. John was a wealth of knowledge about many of the vehicles. Thanks for preserving and using these.

I've been trying to understand what's going on here for like 20 mins. I event looked at entz patents but I guess I'm dumb. Is it just a generator set on the crank and a motor on the "driven" end sharing a shaft and case?

SORRY..... WRONG ! STUDEBAKER WAS NOT THE FIRST AMERICAN CAR WITH DISC BRAKES ....Crosley is unquestionably the first American manufacturer,Crosley 1949 was the first auto manufacturer to offer modern-style disc brakes on a production automobile The Indiana-built 1949 Crosley was fitted with Goodyear/Hawley disc brakes on all four wheels. the calipers, initially designed for airplanes

First, really deal with the car and read everything about it, then drive the car so that nothing breaks! This applies most importantly to the height of the chassis when driving!!! The GS is too high here!!! The rear wheels have to be covered by the body up to the rim, then the ride height is correct. This shouldn't happen to a car museum. You should keep the cars in good condition and not cause them to break down due to a lack of knowledge. The poor Citroen GS Birotor from Luxembourg.😢

The name “Birotor” is written together and not separated with a hyphen. That's what it says on the type plate on the trunk lid... First read it, then write it correctly in the video name... This will probably be the only GS Birotor in the USA!? Take good care of it and don't drive it broken because it's at the wrong height! There are no more spare parts!!!

@yorkshirepud3030 8 ай бұрын

Your right, I think it's set on the service height which will give the car a very firm ride.

@grahamfunnell5590 8 ай бұрын

Agreed. I had one of these. The ride shouldn't be that hard and bouncy. They are kinda cool and quirky cars with some innovative features. It's a shame the rotted away so easily in the UK climate.

@bennyhannover9361 8 ай бұрын

Yes it should be adjusted so that at least a third of the rear wheels is covered.

The car has a similar version of the twin rotor engine used in NSU Ro 80 … both companies are founders of Comotor a jointventure company to develop rotary engines according to Felix Wankel‘s Patent..

Isn’t it astounding that the 9A got a stated 40 mpg? Interesting we haven’t really improved on that today. Fascinating automobile.

@barbadolid5170 11 ай бұрын

why think when you can just copycat others' thoughts. At slow road speeds (60-70Km/h) many cars from the 90s on outperform those 40mpg (almost 6l/100km), and even cruising at 120km/h you find modern petrol engines with a lot of punch doing around 5l/100km

@nkronert 11 ай бұрын

I was looking into this claim, but it is hard to find some actual numbers. I found a PDF that mentioned a speed of 20mph somewhere. While, given this video, it looks like the car could drive faster than that, best fuel consumption is hardly ever reached at top speed, as air resistance increases with about the square of the air velocity. I saw that a world record for a "normal" car was set by a Honda Jazz at over 95 mpg, whereas the average fuel consumption is advertised at around 60 mpg at modern speeds.

@@yankeedoodle7693 That doesn't happen in a Prius either. My 240k km Gen2 Prius is running like new. And if even one cell, or even a couple of cells, were to go bad, it's not too expensive to have one block (not the entire battery) replaced. Best car I've ever had.

Great acquisition! Avanti had discs up front and drums in the rear. Studebaker’s hope was Avanti would stimulate sales of their Lark and Gran Turismo Hawk. It didn’t, and interest in Avanti dissipated when they couldn’t produce them fast enough to satisfy initial demand. If you’re going to own an orphan, this is one of the best. And it’s an R2!!

In 1982, in a desperate attempt to raise funds for the Delorean Motor Company, John Delorean entered into a deal involving drug trafficking. He was arrested for this, and his lawyer successfully demonstrated to the court that Delorean was coerced into this deal by FBI undercover informants. Delorean was found not guilty, but the damage this publicity did to his reputation was one of the final nails in the coffin for DMC.
