Who can make cars? We are used to this being the state level for sure. So that a huge factory, chimneys in the sky, smoke over the city, State Planning Commission with reports, a ministry with offices, a five-year plan, state trials, motorcycle races and a seal of approval. But an alternative to all this – largely useless – economics very quickly appeared.
In general, with the birth of NAMI-1, designed by Konstantin Sharapov, who took Hans Ledwinka’s idea as a basis, a neighbor’s fence, wheels and a motor, putting it in a car close to the dinner table with simplicity .
The Henry Ford plant for the production of GAZ-A and GAZ-AA, purchased on a turnkey basis, returned the situation to the ministerial channel, making the invention of gambling a state task. Since then, the auto industry has become a shady and responsible business, with committed commissioners such as, for example, Ivan Likhachev, and party nomenklatura, such as candidate member of the Central Committee of the CPSU Evgeny Brakov.
But waiting in line for a car in the USSR was excruciating, and the country produced thousands of engineers, so an even more sustainable alternative to the state car industry emerged, which took shape at the end of the Soviet period in the TV show “You can the”.
Do-it-yourselfers have bent iron, sawed metal, mined spare parts, welded plastic, sewed interiors and provided a compelling example of how to make a car with the help of one person. It is noteworthy that homemade people swung at both engines and transmissions, and viewers caught the eye even with a workable variator.
The death of the State Planning Commission, Five-Year Plans, the Ministry of Automotive Industry and the USSR did not change the main thing – the car had to be made at the factory. Although size is no longer obliged to megalomania. But this alternative failed. Small attempts such as “Avtokam”, “Kineshma”, the folk “Mishka” and the rarest Reliant died quickly and silently.
The more immersive Derways and TagAZ died a little louder and longer. On the other hand, private merchants at the level of homemade yard workers approached the industrial bins of the whole world and allowed themselves the production of a good level and appearance, such as, for example, Bilenkin Classic Cars, Marussia or the products of the great Dmitry Parfyonov, whose names are impossible to find. It was they who showed that even in our country the car industry can be private.
What the rest of the world has known since 1886 thanks to Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. This difference of worlds was best articulated by Sergey Dovlatov, when he founded the New American newspaper, when he tried to get permission from the authorities and was surprised to learn that “in America any priest can publish a newspaper”…
After understanding that the auto industry is no more complicated than pies sold on the street, the authors’ education level became an important parameter for homemade cars. It was clear that the creation of a car on the shoulder only engineers.
But Elon Musk is not an engineer, but an entrepreneur. Unlike Mate Rimac, who recently bought Bugatti. Olivier Lombard, maker of the hydrogen supercar Hopium Machina, is a bad racer from a good family of Moulin Rouge owners, and Zimbabwean Amir Hasimok Naran, maker of the Naran Hyper car, is a designer. But the absolute world record holder SSC Tuatara was created by engineers.
So anyone can make a car, set up production and go down in history? Yes, and first with a dream, and then with an engineering degree or a skill in beauty. Therefore, there is reason to believe that very soon distant people will be attracted to the automotive industry. Well, if not that of Pablo Picasso, whose caricature parodies the art style that Facebook amuses. But the inevitable thunderclap still struck.
Rapper Kanye West threatened to produce cars of his own name (the concept is shown in the title photo). Did you just hear this name? And he’s so big and famous that he’s splashing with ambitions beyond musical circles, going even beyond drug addicts and now encroaching on the auto industry.
Obviously this is just an ad campaign for a slightly wilted singer, but a swing at the industry could suddenly end up in a car. Again, indicating the obvious – the further the state, the more interesting the result.
