Tatras 70
The Tatra 70 was the successor to the large car type 31 that the Tatra factory in Nesselsdorf brought out in 1931 .
The luxury vehicle had a water-cooled six-cylinder OHC in-line engine with 3406 cm³ displacement and 65 hp (48 kW). The engine, the camshaft of which was driven by a vertical shaft, gave its power to the rear wheels via a multi-disc dry clutch and a 4-speed gearbox. The maximum achievable speed of the approx. 2400 kg heavy car was 110 km / h. The chassis was a central tube construction that had a rigid axle with overhead transverse leaf spring installed at the front and a pendulum axle with transverse leaf half springs at the rear. The wheels were designed as disks.
There were different 4- and 6-seater limousine bodies and Landau. By April 27, 1932, 50 vehicles had been built.
In 1934 the Tatra 70 A succeeded the types 70 and 80 . Its engine and drive concept corresponded to that of the Type 70, but the displacement was increased to 3845 cm³ and the output rose to 70 hp (51 kW). The 2450 kg vehicle thus reached a top speed of 130 km / h.
By August 28, 1936, 70 vehicles had been built. After the Second World War , another car was built from spare parts and received by the Czechoslovak President Edvard Beneš on May 23, 1947.
The successor to the Tatra 70 A from 1937 was the completely differently designed Type 87 .
