Hall of technique and sports cars
Yes, we didn´t forgot to you. The hall of 70 is maybe full of adrenalin, but just here, in red tuned environment you can find the right american cars. One of the most famous Riviera, or legendary Mustang can´t allow you to pass this hall. They are proudly standing on start line, ready to show you, what is a true american power. They are beautiful but you can notice, this place is not only about cars.
Next those jewels are standing the models of engines, gears. OHV, OHC, air-cooled and water-cooled, two, or four-strokes. Just on those models we want to show and to explain, how does it works. What is happened, when you will l depress the throttle. Where is water flows in the engine, where oil, how does work a cooling system, lubrication... And what about the differential, brakes, steer wheeling ...? Best you can see it live. Each year will come two or three next models, this hall is still in preparing process.
