    Packard

    other size(s): 800 1280

    When I began my project, I searched the history of American cars and found tradition, innovation and quality. The inspiration from these values is what led me to reference the Packard cars.

    In 1916, Packard introduced the first V12 engine in massive production and in the Second World War, Packard produced airplane engines.

    Do you remember the old airplane engines? I propose a modified version with articulate connecting rods to reduce the external size of a big block engine; a Super V12 cylinder in 3 banks of 4 cylinders.

    Do you remember the whitewall tires? I propose a PAX system with supplementary external hoops of rubber like aluminum to simulate bigger wheels.

    In 1955, Packard used a torsion-level-suspension. I think that the electronic technology with sensors can make a more efficient torsion bar suspension to swinging control and added with articulated links to control camber angle. This variable geometry suspension (VGS) is supplemented with rear transverse-transaxle gearbox for better mass distribution, thus improving stability.
