    You totally missed one of the weirdest and quirkiest features of this (or any) car. The rear muffler was shaped like an aerofoil and acted like a rear spoiler to provide down force. That’s what the gigantic air gap between the trunk lid and the rear bumper is for. It allows the air that flows over the top of the muffler/spoiler to exit the rear of the car

    *Fun fact:* The "1" on the Z1 badge is as German as it gets. That's how Germans write the number 1, with an up-down motion. It's also why Germans put a cross on their "7" in order to better differentiate between 1 and 7.

    Thank you for this video! I'm German and I can tell you, they are pretty rare in Germany. That time, it was produced, I was visiting the factory plant and I was able to see, who the Z1 has been produced. It was so cool. A lot of was made by hand. I saw the most of the available colors. Very pretty.
    You missed one thing, which is common on sportscars today: a defusor at the rear. The Z1 has a kind of that. Pay attention ed nation to the gap between the rear bumper and the bottom of the trunk hood. This is the outlet of the air. The rear muffler is formed like a wing so the air goes over the muffler through this gap and produces downforce. That is one reason why the opening of the trunk is not that big ;)

      A lot of the time when he does convertibles especially if they’re old he just leaves the roof alone, I remember he did a review of some convertible once and didn’t have the top down once in the video

    • @uglybassterd1
      @uglybassterd1 7 лет назад +10

      one time he addressed these questions about convertible roofs, he acted like it was a dumb thing to want to see, and made it overly boring by not talking and just staring at the camera the entire time the top went up and down...I thought it was a real jack-off kinda move....

    • @fredfrederickson
      @fredfrederickson 7 лет назад +2

      sjnfaueefaefaef jdnsuiodsgsd yeah I mean if it’s a convertible and he’s reviewing it i at least expect the top to be down the entire video if he’s not gonna show it, but I mean yeah unless there’s something really special or quirky about the way it goes up and down I do feel like that is the type of thing he would and should also show us in his type of videos but if it’s just easy up and down like any other car I understand why he doesn’t bother showing us cuz if he showed us how every little thing in the car worked it would be boring and long but if it’s something unique I want him to put it in the video also though when you’re borrowing a car that is maybe one of a handful or maybe the only one in the entire continent I also understand why you wouldn’t want to risk breaking something that would be near impossible or just extremely expensive to replace especially if it is just the same as any other convertible

    • @uglybassterd1
      @uglybassterd1 7 лет назад +3

      +Fred Frederickson for me its more about if its a power roof or not, is it hard top, soft top? and also what it looks like top up/top down, just seems to me like a soft top you have to put in the back yourself could be a real game changer on if you are interested in a car or not...

      To be honest i was thinking the same. It seems more practical to me. Doors on cars at the minute are huge slabs of metal swinging out sideways, how many people get stuck in cars cause some idiot pulls up right next to them. Or them super tight parking spots. Can't get out, or it's a hell of a squeeze? Not with doors like that it wouldn't be.

      As someone who actually deals with designing things like this, I can tell you it's extremely difficult. Surprisingly this isn't the only car to feature this and it's just ridiculously expensive, hard to manufacture for more than 1 or 2 models hence why there are so few, it's heavy, and it's just not practical from a manufacturers point of view. Come up with a good design that can be mass produced and you'll see cars doing this

      That sounds like a great plan, my friend. The other day while I was cleaning my counter tops I noticed a strange buzzing sound coming from my refrigerator - I listened carefully and had to stop wiping to make it out, but sure enough, it was buzzing away. Now, I don't know if it was just a fluke or if it was just working extra hard to cool down the delicious coffee ice cream I had gotten for me and my wife, but it made me realize the general good fortune I've had with this house. Not much has gone wrong, and the things that have - haven't been beyond my capacity to fix! Now all that could change in a heartbeat, but as long as I know god is looking over me and my family - I know everything will be alright. Come to think of it, I could probably stand to grease the rollers in my windows too. There's nothing quite like the function of a freshly greased window unit!

While the panels may crack after several years, an unexpected accident or crash may make matters worse. In my opinion, this roadster should be driven with fully 100% caution for those who own of rent a Z1.
