it was the pioneer in the development of the CVT transmission, which can now be bought for many different cars. Furthermore, it could be driven at the same speed backwards as forwards. To prove the strenght of the belt, it was used in a Formula 3 racing car too.Originally Posted by IWantAnAudiRS6

Hm. Still not impressed. Looks like it was designed with a ruler. And CVT ain't my bag...
And why not Formula 1? Or rally?
And who wants to go the same speed backwards? Top speed is about 100mph and going 100mph backward in that doesn't seem smart!

The DAF Marathon was a well known Rally car.

IIRC one F1 team (Williams ?) tested a CVT system, but it was banned by the FIA before ever really tested.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

It's funny, kind of reminds me of the bastard son of a Hillman Imp and a Triumph Herald.

Oh, Daf 600 you talking about, I was plannig to make a thread with it. I did not know that it's related to 66.

no this is the Daffodil, a 750 cc luxury version of the original 600. Americans would call it a facelift.
It's successor was the Michelotti designed 44, still operating with the flat twin, and when Volvo took over, they turned it into the 66, and installed a four pot renault engine in the car.
