En una pelicula aparecia este auto, aqui en OsoRON city hay uno.
Oh, God!! Con John Denver.
Primer auto en que se exigieron normas de seguridad comunes hoy (parabrisas laminado, parachoque más ancho).
Cx de 0.43, con un detalle común hoy: doblar la parte superior de los marcos de las puertas.
Leí que ese auto no fue tan exitoso como se esperaba ya que
Originally the car was designed for a Wankel rotary engine. In 1973, AMC signed a licensing agreement with Curtiss-Wright to build Wankels for cars and Jeep-type vehicles. (The agreement also permitted Curtiss-Wright to sell rotaries elsewhere.)[12] Later, AMC decided instead to purchase the engines from General Motors (GM), who were developing them for use in their own cars. However, GM canceled development in 1974 for reasons that included durability issues, the fuel crisis, tooling costs (for the engines and also for a new product line designed around the rotary's ultra-compact dimensions) and the upcoming (late 1970s) U.S. emissions legislation. It was also thought that the high-revving Wankel would not suit Americans accustomed to low revs and high torque.
General Motors's change of plans left the Pacer without an engine. American Motors took a calculated risk and introduced the new model.[13] The company's over commitment to the project resulted in entrapment with so much money and effort in the car's design.[13] Engineers hastily reconfigured it to accept their existing straight-six engine. This involved a complete redesign of drivetrain and firewall to keep the longer engine within the body dimensions designed for the Wankel, but allowed the Pacer to share many mechanical components with other AMC models
Resumiendo, ese auto iba llevar un motor Wankel rotatorio, sin embargo, decidió poner uno de GM.
VArias dificultades hicieron que GM no fabricara un nuevo motor, por lo que AMC debio modificar su tradicional 6 en linea,que cabia justo.
