Snake45 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Just the thing for my weekly grocery/supply run to Walmart and Hobby Lobby. I'll take it!

DonW Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 From Wikipedia: Bizzarrini applied all the ideas he had developed working on the GTO and together with the car body specialist Piero Drogo developed an aerodynamically advanced body, even lower than the GTO's, with the roof line dramatically extended to the rear end following Kamm aerodynamic theory. The resulting shooting-brake appearance led to the French press nicknaming it "La Camionnette" (little truck), while the English-speaking journalists called it the "Breadvan."[3][1] Bizzarrini moved the engine and radiator further back to the center of the chassis than the GTO, and lowered it by fitting a dry sump system. The original three 46 DCN Weber carburetors were replaced with six twin choke 38 DCN Webers. The original 4-speed gearbox was retained. Giorgio Neri and Lucciano Bonacini of Modena were contracted to perform all the mechanical modifications and race preparation. The resulting car was significantly lighter than the GTO, at 935 kg (2,061.3 lb) compared to the typical GTO weight of 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb). Great way to deliver the bread!

Bainford Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Yet another (though more subtle) employment of Kamm theory aerodynamics. Though the suggestion that this car was designed with Kamm aerodynamic theory in mind always makes me giggle...

The Vega wagon was the first thing that came to mind when the Kammbach theory was mentioned.
