CTA-ARSENAL 15V47 - L'ULTIME VOITURE DE COURSE FRANCAISE A MOTEUR AVANT
In motoring history, some cars make a mark in their era, while others fall into oblivion despite their unrivalled technical audacity. The CTA-Arsenal 15V47, designed in 1947, belongs to the latter category.
A unique project born out of the post-war effervescence, supported by the French government and led by engineers from the Centre d'études techniques de l'automobile and the Arsenal de l'aéronautique, this super-powerful racing car symbolised France's ambition to rival the greats.
With its supercharged 8-cylinder front engine, suspended transaxle and four independent wheels, it represented the pinnacle of innovation… but it was a complete failure.
Why was this revolutionary project never realised? What role did it play in the technological evolution that would revolutionise motor racing?
A look behind the scenes of this little-known adventure, with its political decisions, engineering feats and sporting disappointments. Using previously unpublished archives and meticulous analysis, this book reveals the fascinating story of the last great French front-engined single-seater.
CTA-ARSENAL 15V47 l'ultime voiture de course française à moteur avant, a compelling investigation for fans of automotive and industrial history.
148 pages. Text in French.
