documentary series displaced depicts traumatic humanitarian crises around the world . forgetting we don't think that meant i didn't go to university to kill people and i think that a. people feel for their lives and their future so they seek refuge abroad but what will become of us who stay behind. displaced starts october 16th on d w. the row 80 was supposed to revolutionize the automobile it hit the market with

a whole new type of engine and an innovative streamlined body it was created to save a longstanding but troubled german vehicle manufacturer but was produced only a short 10 years maybe it was just ahead of its time today the row 80 is remembered as an automotive milestone. eric speak a man of berlin has a taste for the unusual he wears custom made shoes and drives a very extraordinary car a row 80 in the late 1960 s. it was the car of choice for doctors entrepreneurs and artists like eric. he's been driving his role 80 for some 30 years.

i believe on i'll just give you all the cars were fairly predictable that the b.m.w. has for example had this full length belt. but this one with its flats could look completely different i knew it was because of the frankel engine doesn't because it's really small it's as if the weights he has very elegant contours and looks like a fast car even though it isn't a body an engine form a perfect synthesis in taiz if and you cite. the contours the. seems so elegant now were actually born of necessity in 1967 the n.s.u. motor home and there in southern germany had already made its name as the world's largest motorcycle maker but the market was faltering. in 1958 after a 26 year pause in its you resumed automobile production with the prince a small car with basic equipment and its engine in back it was a hit with car buyers. but production was too slow innes

you lack the capital to invest in new facilities. under pressure to take action the company staked everything on one idea. the newly developed dunkel engine and as you saw this as the future of automobiles now it just had to build a car for the engine one that was superior to and different from earlier in a few models in every way it was to be a revolution. going on for as you was well aware that they were entering into new territory and they wanted to appeal to a type of customer who had never had anything to do with an issue before but i don't think they had any real idea of the scale of all the risks involved. in this use top managers were convinced the new model would be a winner and they believed perhaps blindly that the new engine with the rotary

pistons would soon be the standard for automotive technology. its inventor was félix bankole an engineer from southern germany. the triangular rotors of his new engine rotated in one direction around the inside of an oval shaped housing the advantages over the reciprocating piston engine were fewer moving parts making it simpler and more robust and it needed fewer parts moving or not making it lighter and quieter. engineers at n.s.u. had caught wind of bungles idea the inventor was not an engineer and did not even have a drivers license but he was just what n.s.u. was looking for. in the regime that. they hired felix frankfurter to develop road revolves for motorcycles but as one

could talk to them they started talking about what all could be rotating out of here to expand on this quoted as saying fix them both why should only the valves rotate couldn't we just get rid of everything that moves up and down the pistons why don't we build a road repairs to the engine water that was. the one time in su registry in the town of nec costume north of stuttgart. today the archive is owned by audi it contains highly confidential documents. the technical drawings on parchment paper are of the rotary piston engine in su developed together with félix bunco for volume production in the mid 1960 s. . it achieved $115.00 horsepower. it was hoped license agreements would eventually bring in 9 figure sums annually. now all they needed was a suitable body to package and market this new technology. in the name had

already been decided roe for road repairs stands what about the 80. numbering is types and as you would arrive to type 40 and somebody. let's take a great big step forwards will double it and make it 80 others say the 80 for row 80 came from the original expectation that it would have 80 horsepower. and in fact 8 does play a role in every connection with the row 80. it had 80 horsepower yes it weighed 800 kilograms it listed for $8000.00 dortch marks and it took 8 leaders of gas per 100 kilometers. klaus and his use design head since 1956 was assigned to design the body. the new car had to be bigger than a ford but streamlined to save gas because the new engine consumed

a lot. at the time streamlined cars were thought to be unstable lou to had to find a way to improve its road holding qualities. in the wind tunnel he developed a never before seen shape for the body and progress through technology became inus use new advertising slogan. it wasn't a buddhist it's a car's underbody is curved downward names an airplane wing is flat and slanted downward on the bottom while it's arched and narrows to a point on top not actually understand it and then creates a cliff into it with its suit off and turn it over and you have a kind of hanging and values its own that creates a down thrusting a ball and the car hugs the road better to keep and thus it was very important to this card remain stable not only through its wheels but also aerodynamically none

of this. by $963.00 the 1st class to say models were complete. soon after the 1st hand made prototypes were sent out for test drives to forests camouflaged and by night. nobody could be allowed to sneak a premature peek at innes used car of the future. even the wooden mock ups were only transported hidden in the trunk. this model long graced the stairwell and clowe salute as former munich apartment one of countless mementos kept by the influential automotive designer he had also created models for b.m.w. . his wife trudie luton kept them with her. here i'm looking good. trudy lou took glances through photos of her husband who

passed away in 2008 at age 76. meters i haven't looked at these photos for ages. here he stands between a row 80 and a b.m.w. . the row 80 was klaus lucas crowning achievement that 1st trudy didn't especially like it. always driven a prince 12 if that was my favorite car klaus asked me if i had to drive her role in 80 after that when he said to be crazy oh you should try that thing. but because i was afraid to say it was much too big for me it was i'd always had my little princess to me the row 80 felt like a ship once i got the hang of driving it was really proud. true to passed away in 2017. her husband's best love to work the row 80 lives on in the hearts of fans.

they appreciate this advance timeless design and fine details. the row eighty's styling influenced entire generations of cars to follow everything about it appeared straightforward and harmonious. even now row 80 drivers are impressed by its quiet and amazingly smooth ride. when the row 80 was premiered at the 967 international motor show in frankfurt the world took notice and noticed a 30000 kilometer guarantee as well. it was meant to instill confidence in the new technology.

in bavaria southern germany danny marquardt keeps a collection of row 80 s. the world's largest number in 28 vehicles with more. than. my in to list so that for you my goal is to have one from every year from 1967 to 1977 i'm only missing 2 year otherwise i've got them all on his buys on. the marquardt family once had an innocent dealership today they want a car repair shop the row 80 is still a part of their lives. ronnie's grandmother lena marquardt used to run the business. she remembers the 1st row 80

to drive onto her lot in the late 1960 s. . because of the fierce i got my driver's license and from then on i drove a row $80.00 and $3.00 days in the winter and summer so my only a row 80 in the north to oxford but we never had any other car my husband didn't either and then he marquardt is the 3rd generation to manage the business. his part steeple for the row 80 seems inexhaustible. for. all of. you on a small medium like this one some of the seems to be my great grandmother's living room like cleared it out so i could store my lawyer parts in air who could where do all these parts come from. christian dies mostly from private owners. a husband

dies and the widow doesn't know what else to do with the parts in the cellar others in the business could meet to go and buy everything. great grandfather began collecting parts and they piled up over the past 50 years among the international community of 80 fans has built a reputation as restore an estimated 1000 of the cars still exist in europe. the owners come to danny from all over the world he's even had a customer from australia. from the very start the row 80 had problems in particular the engine was prone to breakdowns. the crux of the trouble was the rotor tip seals they were too soft to withstand the strain over long use. the allison the engine didn't turn over easily and

a put out lots of smoke performance dropped because they lost compression i said 1st the apex seals were made of carbon aluminum and i warned them honest had to be replaced and that had to be done after the 1st 30000 kilometers of most. of the seals weren't the only problem for decades in a few shops had only worked with motor scooters and mopeds they knew nothing about the new technology. often they couldn't even find the problem and replaced engines that were theoretically still in working order. these were dissected by the n.s.u. plants experts. they hadn't spotted the seals weaknesses in the test phase only after the cars had been delivered to their buyers. were going to go. in with the want to put they want to find out why the engines were breaking down it was crucial to the cars continued development lines but it also resulted in the engines

being replaced or even the smallest problems him of when somebody was working in the replacement engine department at the end as a new plan and explained to me that this does a closure and they'd get engines that just needed the carburetor adjusted or the timing reset and then they could go back out as a factory overhauled engines without their having done anything to them at all also what to want. or miss is about the top. on short trips the vocal engines would overheat and die. in su reacted. to the take this is just for roddick we had over a dozen engines running simultaneously on the test block because as hard as a diamond. you could cut glass with we don't want to do that we want to drive 100000 kilometers without a breakdown and now we can with the proper reserves for cold starts in city driving it would institute you. the new material virtually eliminated the problems with the

row 80 seals and vastly improve the engines life expectancy as eric speak a man can confirm. his role 80 is still running on its 1st engine which now has 400000 kilometers on it. he insists the row 80 is the most dependable car he's ever driven. you just have to watch a few points. does on his fi is something you have to remember to keep an eye on the revs and the temperature to drive it consciously like we used to and you have to listen and smell you watch the indicators then i don't see any real danger there john is kind of. i was into the engines used to break down just because they'd get over revved when you're driving down a steep hill and step on the gus you over rev the engine block it would run you 220 kilometers per hour and the engine would blow apart. because. the engine

was extremely quiet which made some drivers forget to shift. the city and the things you couldn't hear anything when you were celebrated valves didn't start tapping like they would in their reciprocating pristine and cool the side of the rowing he just turned faster like a turbine flies over the long haul the engine couldn't take it anymore out of how many were driven in slow traffic in town in the highest gear at lower r.p.m. most. outside of town the driver would step on the gas again. and then the engine would move up out of the lower reverie but you have to treat the engine right. the engine had yet another problem it was a gas guzzlers. consuming up to 20 liters of fuel in 100 kilometers that also drag the row 80 s reputation down the carmaker was swamped with complaints the licensees of technology started having doubts the great revolution n.s.u.

had staked its future on was failing. the company tried to beef up its image with the help of celebrities like german actor good cop who played a chief inspector on t.v. . he had bought one of the earliest row eighty's but it's long gone today. will be let's take a 1st spin. but he still feels right at home in the car. that's going to grow 80 feel like. the shop has acted in a commercial for the row 80. cut you. are. looking for a killer just a parking spot so. the film is not in the commercial was supposed to look like a scene from his t.v. detective show business you had signed the inspectors and eric holder to make a case against the row eighty's critics. also drove

a row 81 off the set if you want as an old mercedes driver like the royalty. i'll just pretend i didn't hear the word. as far as i'm concerned it's the most beautiful car i've ever driven this image most did they emerge all they needed to polish their image they had approved the car had truly mature down was ready for mass production this film was actually meant to give the sales people good selling points that they could use this for. fear and. and fear in food as fact and to top it off too familiar faces showed up at the end of the film well deserved it's time for a detective series was very well known in germany mizpah have become and everyone new to both eric holder and myself. row 80 s. when the boss was only natural to include us in the films. but this time they didn't get their man the car buyer innes used financial troubles piled up. the banks grew

impatient. fox wagon showed interest in su. the deb you needed new models and had its eye on an ace hughes newly developed k. 70. the midsize sedan was meant to compliment the row 80 in n.-s. used range. but the w. wasn't interested in the row 80 it wasn't profitable enough. in 1969 v.w. acquired n.s.u. and merged it with its subsidiary auto union to create what is now out. was the row 80 a bad idea in the 1st place or just ahead of its time it was still a part of algy's range into the 1970 s. but the 1st oil crisis sealed the fate of the gas guzzling vanko powered car it was

discontinued. might have been glacial can sound so one car maker had 2 cars around in the same market segment the only 100 and the row 81 not for the audi 100 was a success and the road 80 was appreciated but not a success that was one of you had to go 1st theoretically they had the option of developing the row 80 further and making it more successful than the audi 100. they didn't do that he decided to keep working on the audi 100 and scrap the row 80. who not. for sure. it may be this is death of fact that helped make the row 80 the automotive legend it is today like artworks whose value soars when the artist dies. just when almost all the technical glitches had been fixed it was abandoned. in 1977 after 10 years and

37400 units made production ended and with it the su brand name just to be it was like a star singer whose voice cracks or a violinist who's harmed drops off there was a mixture of pity and frustration that such a great car hadn't managed to sell millions and forced us on tallest in this case i think some people wondered why it didn't make it big that it was as if you did but because people didn't know any better because it didn't suit you or to even so the story of this car spectacular seat is up on the top negotiator. the last row and he was supposed to roll straight off the assembly line into the deutsche just museum in berlin a prominent science and technology museum but in fact heinrich off in western germany has it he was bitterly disappointed over the demise of his favorite car and hatched a plan. you. know this is where my parents or their chicken coop brought

door down by hand and then with the neighbors help by putting this garage with the workshop with you for your take on something like this without the right production facilities most of us know. what heinrich affluent needed a new garage for is now safe in his private in assume newseum next door. this snow white row 80 has passed its 30th birthday it has the ennis you badge but at the time it was built the brand was long gone. off put it together. himself in the mid 1980 s. using only brand new original parts. and shot the show on and then for picking on complex thought i had already got an old factory fresh replacement engine and was on good terms with a local audi dealer. and i found out that row 80 parts were relatively plentiful one of those in charge but the key question was whether i could get my hands on

a factory fresh body and a little research on the plant revealed that there really was one last factory fresh robot in the depot and i bought it. and that's where the real problem started so where was i going to get the equipment to completed those guns. the parts list and a repair manual were about all off their back had to guide him on his project. but he was able to compare his work with his old road 80 from 975. he stitch 17 square metres of leather together for the white rose interior. his family helped out. but. my 2 oldest sons were 10 or 11 years old and pitched in to help when i had to transport axl parts or i needed help in the pit or by the group of them and i also got a little gifts on the side mirror around i should pray for my birthday or christmas

. i wasn't the only one who was highly motivated to get bored so the whole family was to also moseyed. mishra wanted to buy me a sauna but it isn't for me to kind of offload tinkered with this car for almost 10 years today the handmade car is recognized as the last of the model a genuine row 80 as confirmed by 2 of germany's technical automotive inspection agency. the guns of munch off the whole stash gathered around. and marvels that such a thing even existed and was there for the official inspection you know and those came from the dung van that was confirmed when i asked for a hammer and dr stamped the chassis number and then fuzzes goldmines for. a regionally he didn't want to register his row 8 at all. in 1903

he changed his mind but he only takes it out of the garage when the weather is good . he's driven it only 16000 kilometers in 30 years. but it's fans like heinrich offload who keep the memory of the row 80 a lot has such a unique and legendary car deserves.
