60 Anos de James Bond: Parte 2 - Cinema

James Bond 007 Opening
Depois do sucesso na literatura, o agente secreto 007 ganhou licença para matar também no cinema, onde o sucesso de James Bond alcançou o mundo inteiro, com mais de vinte longa-metragens.

Algumas vezes, os carros roubaram a cena. Com seus aparatos tecnológicos ou com suas piruetas realizadas "no improviso" por James Bond, conseguiram um feito que só atores ou atrizes até então haviam conseguido: uma estrela no "Hall Of Fame" do cinema.

Brasinca 4200 GT: um esportivo de respeito

Brasinca 4200 GT (Uirapuru)
Quem vê os esportivos que rodam no Brasil, mal imagina que nós já fabricamos um capaz de peitar os estrangeiros. O Brasinca já fez história.

Os Willys Interlagos, com motores de 845 cm³, eram os únicos esportivos nacionais, até a primeira metade da década de 1960. O espanhol Rigoberto Soler convenceu a direção da Brasinca, fábrica de carrocerias para ônibus e caminhões, a fazer um carro que tivesse desempenho semelhante a esportivos estrangeiros similares.

Do you drive a sports car?

Do you drive a sports car? Then read this vivid extract from Jimmy Stewart, of Ecurie Ecosse fame. "Last Saturday morning I decided to take the E-type on Cinturas as far as Inveraray and back, 50 or 60 miles from here. The roads were wet and greasy, with occasional dry patches. I found that on the twisty sections I was travelling at between 70 and 80 miles an hour in 2nd and 3rd gear where on other tyres I would be driving at 45 and 50 mph. And in two straight sections at Loch Lomond I got a speedometer reading of 130 mph, taking it up to a maximum revs in 3rd and banging it into top then braking under racing conditions by tamping the pedal really hard, putting it right through the gears for various corners. And when I got as far as Arrochar I ran into quite a bit of snow and slush, and it was there I was really glad of the Cinturas. They almost felt like all-weather tyres." "I’m sure the Cintura is faster in dry road conditions than any other tyre. It almost feels up to the standard of a full racing cover. It gives one the feeling that it’s an entirely different tyre from anything else. It just grips so much better than any other tyre I have ever handled." The Cintura solves three sports car problems. Jimmy Stewart’s report amounts to this: the Cintura solves the three big problems of sports car tyres: 1. Tyre wear ("…here at last is a tyre that stands up to the driving I do."). 2. Tyre heating ("It seems to run extremely cool, even under the most arduous conditions."). 3. Tyre adhesion under stress ("I feel that the Cintura offers the absolute ultimate in safety."). How does the Cintura solve the problem of tyre distortion at speed (which can have unpleasant consequences)? It does so by having a built-in ‘safety belt’: An inextensible textile belt running right round the circumference of the tyre under the tread. It holds the tyre profile virtually unchanged even at very high speeds, and it gives the tyre a much more square and uniform contact area with the road. Send for Jimmy Stewart’s full report and your free copy of the Cintura book, which lists all sports and saloon cars to which Cinturas can be fitted. See what a difference Cinturas make, even to a brilliant professional driver. If you drive a sports car, really drive it, there is only one tyre for you. In Jimmy’s own words: "I think Cinturas will improve the characteristics of any sports car!" The standard Cintura: for speeds up to 130 mph. the High Speed Cintura: for sustained speeds above 130 mph. The fabulous tyre with the built-in safety belt. Pirelli Cintura.
