AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 02 - MOTORING MASSES

We look at the advent of the machine that has kept us on the road over the last century. Since the earliest days, motoring has not exactly been cheap. In the beginning it was only the rich who could afford wheels, but then Henry Ford changed the way the world moved. Originally the Tin Lizzy cost $850, but eight years later, with efficiencies in production, the price had dropped to $360 dollars. By 1918, over half the cars in America were Model T?s. Ford also changed the way people worked in factories, becoming the father of the moving production line.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 03 - 4-WHEEL DRIVE

In the earliest days, roads were where horses pulled carts, but as cars came along, gravel gave way to cobblestones, which in turn disappeared as the modern roads were paved with tar. Roads became more durable, but that didn?t stop the intrepid traveller who wanted to explore more inhospitable terrain. The first four wheel drive was created in Amsterdam in 1903. One of the first 4WD systems was developed for steam engines, before cars were even invented. Most vehicles of the time were put to use in the military. If necessity is the mother of invention, then warfare is its father.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 04 - MOTOR SPORT

Ever since the automobile was invented men have raced them, pitting themselves and their cars against those of other countries in all kinds of races, in all kinds of conditions. The first races were feats of endurance, the most famous being Le Mons. The first French Grand Prix occurred in 1906 at Le Mons, and was before the concept of a closed race track. After WWII, motor sport became a team affair, and drivers went professional, and were able to pick and choose which team they wanted to drive for, mush like today.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 05 - THE MIGHTY

Join us as we chart the lives of some of the most important names in the automobile?s short history - men who have raced them, designed or built them, and as a result have become icons in their chosen field. Probably the most influential man - particularly in the early days of motor cars - was Henry Ford. He founded a company that became a vast international corporation, and remains today one of the most recognizable brands in the world. There is another respected name in motoring and that is Rolls Royce, it is a name that is synonymous with money and style.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 06 - FASTER!

BMW has long been associated with motor-sport, its BM1 division devoted to creating cars that can outperform and outlast their competitors while sticking to the designs that have made BMW one of the most sought after cars in the middle class, prestige market. Rival Mercedes Benz has a much longer history in building sporty motor cars. Their SL Black series is an answer to BMW?s M series, with an impressive 660 horsepower engine, as well as the usual luxury standards customers expect of a "Merc". Other car manufacturers who have featured prominently in motorsport are Ferrari, Maserati and Porsche.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 07 - THE FUTURE

Each year, thousands more cars are introduced to our roads, filing our air with harmful pollutants and using up precious resources. In the last ten years car manufacturers have been working on ways to cut carbon emissions and save fuel at the same time - the result so far has been hybrid cars such as Toyota?s Prius and Ford?s Fiesta E-kinetic. One possible solution is the eventual replacement of unleaded petrol with more environmentally friendly and economic bio-fuels such as ethanol based petrol. But Bio-fuels aren?t the only alternative. Another idea is the use of hydrogen, which leaves only a water-based emission. The main problem scientists face with hydrogen and electrical fuel cells is the financial cost to both car manufacturer and consumer.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 08 - SAFETY FIRST

By the end of the first twenty-five years of motoring history, Britain?s road toll was in the thousands, and something had to be done to curb the terrible cost associated with the century?s newest invention. The earliest seatbelts caught on in the 1950?s, three-point belts becoming law in some countries (including the UK and Australia) due to their effectiveness in saving lives. Speed limits, air-bags and stability-control technology are some other ideas that have been beneficial for safety, although air bags have the potential to cause injury and even death in children, something car manufacturers are working on to try to eradicate.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 09 - BEST OF BRITAIN

Early British vehicles relied on developments from Germany and France, but by the turn of the century the first all British automobile was manufactured by the Woolsley Tool and Motor Car Company. The Baby Austin becoming available in 1922, selling for 225 pounds, putting it in reach of people previously unable to afford to buy a motor car. In 1929 the big names in car manufacturing were Morris, founded by William Morris, and Austin, and between them they were responsible for 60% of the cars on the roads in Britain. However, there is no more famous name in British motor car manufacturing than Rolls Royce, maker of some of the best luxury cars in the world.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 10 - BEST OF GERMANY

While cars can be seen on virtually every street in every modernized country on the planet, to find the first reliable engines we would have to go back in time to Germany, where two inventors, Niklaus Otto and Karl Benz, revolutionized the way people travelled from A to B. The very first example of the machine that changed the world was the System Lutzmann Motor Carriage, manufactured in 1899 by Benz. It was a three-wheeled, selfpropelled carriage fuelled by a petrol engine. Over the next fifty years, Benz, Volkswagon and Porsche would lead the way in German engineering, creating some of the most popular and prestigious cars in the world.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 11 - USA & CARS

Around the time Henry Ford was building his first car, so was Ransom Olds, father of the famous American Oldsmobile. But it was Ford who would establish the forty hour working week within his factories and introduce mass production via his moving assembly lines, heralding a new era for industry. The United States embraced the motor car in a big way, and by the mid nineteen sixties, no one walked anywhere anymore. The country that gave us the shopping mall also gave us the parking lot, and drive-through convenience. It seemed like just about anything could be done in a car, from watching movies to dining to travelling long distance, as with the popularity of the motor car came Motor Inns, also called Motels!

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 12 - 70'S SPORTS CARS

The 1970?s were a classic era in sports car racing. Porsche and Renault were just two of the famous names that competed for glory during this time. The Porsche short-tail 917 was one of the newer lightweight vehicles introduced during the early 70?s. The main opposition to the Gulf-Porsche team was Ferrari with their 512 model. Pedro Rodriguez set a new lap record of 3mins, 16.5 seconds, which was nine seconds faster than the current F1 lap record. With an astonishing speed of 257kms an hour, these were the world?s fastest racing cars.

AMAZING WORLD OF AUTOMOBILES, THE: 13 - RACING CIRCUITS

Some of Europe?s great circuits evolved from city-to-city road races. The Spa-Francorchamps hosted the tragic 1939 Belgian Grand Prix, run in treacherous conditions with low visibility. Mercedes driver Richard Seaman was badly burned in a crash, dying later in hospital. After WWII, racing resumed in Europe, with Maserati and Ferrari well represented at Spa by drivers like Juan Manuel Fangio and Nino Farina. The circuit has been the site of many a victory and tragedy, due to its vulnerability to changeable weather conditions.

SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - FUEL TECHNOLOGY: TRANSPORTATION INNOVATIONS

The automobile industry is going through revolutionary changes. The standard petroleum gasoline fueled engine has some new competition from gas-electric hybrids, electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, natural gas vehicles and even some automobiles that get some of their power from the sun. Alternative fuel vehicles produce less harmful emissions and are better for the environment. Many of these fuels can be derived from renew-able resources. Hybrid vehicles such as ones that are powered by a combination of gasoline combustion engines and electric motors are becoming more common. Other vehicles that are in development are powered by fuels such as ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, propane, and hydrogen fuel cells.
