Sport Poster NSU Motorcycle Speed Record 1951 Delphin I
Beschreibung
Original vintage poster: NSU Das Schnellste Motorrad der Welt - 12 April 1951, Continental Tyres - Besser Fahren auf NSU (NSU The fastest motorcycle in the world - Better driving with NSU). On April 12, 1951 NSU motorcycles were used for speed record attempts on the Munich-Ingolstadt motorway for the first time since the Second World War. Riding a streamlined Delphin I NSU motorcycle, Wilhelm Herz reached 279.5 km/h and broke the record set 14 years previously by Henne on BMW. Good condition, repaired creases, backed on linen. Delphin I was a predessesor to the NSU Delphin III, a streamliner motorcycle set the motorcycle land speed record in 1956. Wilhelm Herz rode the machine to 211.4 miles per hour (340.2 km/h) at Bonneville Speedway in Utah, to break 200 mph (320 km/h) for the first time. Its fairing, designed in a wind tunnel at University of Stuttgart (then Stuttgart Technical College), gave it a drag coefficient of 0.19. The same engine powered Herz to a 1951 world speed record, with a less efficient frame/fairing, the Delphin I. The engine used an unusual rotary supercharger related to NSU's eventual development of the Wankel engine. In the supercharger, both a trochoidal inner rotor and epitrochoidal outer rotor spun around a stationary shaft. Country: Germany, year of printing: 1951, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 83.5x60.5
