Just had a guest lecture on the aston martin db9 was done by guys from the engineering department so went pretty indepth with the development of the chassis and drivetrain ect, that car is propper i tell thee


quite strange being front engined but using a transverse box though, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm carbon prop

 

obviosly no one gives a fook then

 

 

I fookin love Astons got it as my wallpaper at the moment Far to out of my price range tho at the moment!!1
What you doin at uni mate? Automotive engineering?

 

no car design at coventry mate more off the sitting on our asses drawing pretty cars with felt tip pens all day side of things

 

quality better than doin chemistry and maths

 

I never had lectures THAT good. Top show you must be enjoying uni with lectures like that...... Makes my Sports degree seem boring!!!!!

 

The RS1700t and Porsche 924/944 had front engine/transerve boxes as well - its supposed to aid weight distibution.

 

yea thats why they have done it, spot on 50/50 apparently, i just never come across it before

oh and dont think all my lectures are like this cause they aint

 

So is the engine mounted transversly? I take it no if its got a Tranny box, am not too clued up on this topic, or on cars in generall

 

no the engine is mounted Longitudinally and is mounted to the box at the back via a alloy case that houses a carbon propshaft.

 

Thats such a nice car, i think i just wet my pants.

 

U lucky fooker!!! My lectures today was done by old farts walfing on about shit

 

Old farts my maths lecturer is called Dr Spain guys a legend just seems to float of into hi own world of calculus and trigonometry

 

nice one rude you can see the front chassis leg, is a 3 stage collapsable member, looks mad when you see it crumple from under the car in a head on crash dosent even touch the passenger cell

 

Sounds like it was an interesting lecture

I love the DB9 The company i work for are suppliers to Aston Martin and i've been doing quite a bit of work on parts for that car this year

 

what suplier do you work for then mate?

 

Goodridge

 

If Carlsberg took lectures...

 

beats any computer science lectures i have had by LOOOOONNG shot almost fell asleep in one today

 

 

ahhhh can you get discount?

 

Yes I can thanks

 

now that is funny

i like the db9,, but i would have a 575 over one

 

I think they have a museum in Copenhagen so Im shure you could get a tour.

 

is that from james bond that gets cut in half by the laser??

impressive bit of kit tho!!
