[Can’t believe an Old Car]
It is the base car of the car that appeared as an open bond car in the movie 007 (You Only Live Twice).
The carburetor’s unique 6 sound is very comfortable.
Also, as you can see from the video, it runs very smoothly, so it’s very fun.
On the other hand, driving is difficult.
In any case, both the front and rear wheels lack a sense of contact with the road surface.
When I actually drive it, I realize that the grip is weak.
It is not necessarily a tire problem.
It may be a problem of the rigidity of the car body and the geometry of the circumference in the car design at that time.
Therefore, the low grip strength of the front induces understeer, and in the case of the rear, the car breaks without being able to adapt to slight behavior changes.
This makes driving very difficult because both steer characteristics appear with a touch of the ground and poor quality.
But as he continued to attack Nordschleife, he found the driving characteristic of the car.
The theory is that the car is turned in with the brake left by full braking on a straight line, but instead of turning off the steering immediately, it needs to go straight for a while with the brake left.
Then, strangely enough, both the front and rear wheels will grip firmly on the road surface, and the cornering will be relatively safe.
Unlike today’s cars, it seems to take some time to move enough weight.
If you get this, it will run like a fish getting water.
I can’t believe it’s an old car.
