SecondThere are few places where you can look forward to a super sports car more than downtown Venice.Italian cities most firmly resisted the victory of the car and the idea of the artist Paco Marcial. In his montage cycle “24 Hours of Venice”, a racetrack was built on the canal. Lamborghini Countach is crossing St. Mark’s Square, which most people think is a sinister joke. But now there is actually a sports car there—not any. This thing looks like a tin dragon, a fantasy creature with a long tail, with a cabin reminiscent of a knight’s helmet and aluminum tail.
It is a replica of the legendary Auto-Union Lucca car-racer Hans Stuck drove near Lucca on the highway between Pisa and Florence at a speed of over 300 km/h on February 15, 1935. Cars stopped at one of the most interesting exhibitions of this fall. It is not only about cars, but also how closely design, art, and science were intertwined in modern times—and how close the hope and the abyss were in the 20th century.
The curator of this exhibition, Wolfgang Scheppe (Wolfgang Scheppe) said, that’s it, Joseph Goebbels At that time, he personally appeared at the auto show and removed the logo of the name Paul Jaray from the car-because National Socialism cannot tolerate all the sports and sports that National Socialism wants to show its technological superiority. Racing. The world, and Hitler’s Volkswagen, and almost everything that was shot elegantly and quickly on the Hitler highway, owes to the research of an outstanding Jewish inventor.
Paul Jaray relies on pure mathematics
On the wall next to the sports car is a picture of Hans Stuck and his car; in the foreground is his wife Paula von Reznicek, wearing a leopard Textured leather coat. She was one of the best tennis players in the world at the time, a writer, and the daughter of a Jewish banker. She was grudgingly accepted by the National Socialists because the flagship racer Stark really wanted to marry her. The role of Paul Jarre seemed even more unbearable for them.So it is like this Leonardo da Vinci The 20th century shaped unique car design. Whoever called for the development of renewable energy in the 1930s, who invented the “video radio”, the predecessor of the fax machine in 1925, was completely deleted. From a historical point of view, even today, he The name of is just saying something to the experts.
Paul Jaray was born in Vienna in 1889, the fifth child of a Jewish businessman. Jaray studied mechanical engineering, became the chief designer of an aircraft manufacturer at the age of 25, and then worked for Zeppelin, an airship manufacturer, where he built one of the first wind tunnels in Europe in 1919. While others were still trying to see whether a car that looked like a water drop would drive faster, Jaray did not rely on guesswork, but on pure mathematics-to calculate what would later be called a “streamlined” shape.
