Tatras 70

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tatra 70 (1931)

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 .
