The Samurai race car story from banned to be hero

Banzai....! Hino Motors, Ltd., or more popularly known as Hino, it's a Japanese multinational company that produces diesel engines, trucks, and buses. The company is headquartered in Hino, Tokyo, and founded in 1942. And since 1973, the company has been transformed into one of the major manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty trucks in Japan and is part of Toyota today.

Although known as a truck maker, it turns out that this Japanese manufacturer had produced passenger car models in the 1960s. (See Hino's pasengger car). Besides that, in the same era it turned out that this Japanese manufacturer also ever had involved in the racing world with a race car called the Hino (BRE) Samurai.

The racing car was the result of a collaboration between the Hino Motors with the Brock Racing Enterprise (BRE) owned by Peter Brock, the famous American racing car designer. He was also known as the man who designed the legendary Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe.

Before Brock started his career in the Japanese auto racing with Hino (BRE) Samurai, turn out he ever had great success while driving the Hino Coupe 1300cc and won the 1966 Times-Mirror race at Riverside Raceway along with another Hino's BREs finished in second.

As quoted from mycarquest, this unique racing car was created by BRE with the help of the great Troutman-Barnes team. The sleek and gorgeous hand made, low drag aluminium body ensured the Samurai made the most of its rather small 1.3L GR100 4-cylinder Contessa powerplant. Nevertheless the twin Mikuni-Solex carbureted unit still belted out a healthy 110 horsepower, then an amazing figure for such a small engine.

The power was handled through a bespoke 5-speed manual transmission. As a result of BRE’s clever engineering and packaging, the finished car only weighed a lively 530 kg (1170 lbs). Considering these figures, the car looked to be a worthy competitor in the JAF 1300 class.

Initially, Brock had a vision to enter this car in the 1967 Japanese Grand Prix and even aspired brought it to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Unfortunately, the Japan Automobile Federetion (JAF) as the race organizers later disqualified the car due to it did not have sufficient ground clearance. Despite the failed venture, BRE’s lovechild got its fair share of attention not long after being denied its racing career, by featured on the November 1967 cover of Road & Track magazine. 

The project was eventually disbanded then Pete Brock contracted by Toyota to developed a mid-engined 2L Toyota's prototype, and soon the Nissan Fairlady Z also got his hand touche. The Hino Samurai race car was later known to be bought by Terry Hall and brought it to America to race in the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) racing event. At the American sports car club racing championship, the Samurai raced in Class C Sports Racing, but unfamiliarity with its mechanicals lead to setup issues and poor reliability. 

After that Hall sold the Samurai to former Porsche class competitor Ron Bianchi. At this time, the side windows of the car had also been removed, and the nosecone suffered minor damage from the impact. Bianchi also faced the same problem as the previous owner, due to ignorance of the Samurai's engine ins and outs.

Many mechanics come and go to handle this race car but the results were none, and always has the mechanical mishaps happened to it. Finally, Bianchi consider forming his own team whose members consisted of those who had reliable expertise. The team members are John Hamilton known as a former Mercedes-Benz motorsport development engineer, Paul Albertson who had been part of Cosworth's race engine department, Paul White known as tire specialist.

Together with the team members then Ron Bianchi tried to give a new breath to the Hino Samurai, but it was not easy. In one race the brakes failed, then the next time out an oil line sprung a leak, killing the engine, then a new throttle cable snagged, over-revving the engine and grenading it yet again. Problems keep coming, as if this racing car remains wild and difficult to understand.

Finally with the help of a friend specialized in cam construction finally solved the engine issues, then Paul Albertson was finally able to safely extract the desired power. With the engine sorted, and John Hamilton having resolved the braking problems.

1967 Hino (BRE) Samurai's movable ring airfoil predated Ferrari's F40 by over 20 years. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3blIkK7)

While for the car's handling problems, Bianchi then contacted Red LeGrande, who was known to be involved in the chassis fabrication process of the Samurai commissioned of Peter Brock. Then he discussing with Red to solved matters, and decided to completely remodel the rear suspension. After that Paul White adjusted the tire compounds and pressures accordingly. 

 

After all the team members have managed to solve their respective problems, the Samurai began to record reliable times in competitive times. On another occasion, the race car comfortably won its class. Over the next four years, the Samurai never be finished lower than fifth.

And when Ron Bianchi decided to retire from racing, Samurai managed to give him and the team about 25 winning trophies, 12 awards for second place and 2 trophies of the club racing championship. After that the Hino (BRE) Samurai idled in the garage, at that time Bianchi started receiving calls from its creator. Peter Brock had learned of Ron's ownership of the Samurai, and wanted to buy it back. In several discussions, they finally agreed on the price of the car.

However, Brock didn't hold onto the car for long, because he later sold it to Satoshi Ezawa, a wealthy Japanese collector. As if it wasn't enough to have Hino (BRE) Samurai physically, the last owner of the Hino Samurai having learned of Bianchi's adventures with the Samurai, he wanted to know in minute detail just how Ron has turned the aborted project into a proven race winner. His curiosity even led him to visit Ron Bianchi in person. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BRE | MYCARREQUEST | DRIVETRIBE ]

The less known prancing horse species

Lesser KNOWN After the war, the prancing horse logoed racing cars were known to have always dominated various prestigious racing events in the world. Especially with the launch of the Ferrari 250 GT LWB (Long Wheel Base) in 1954, and the Ferrari domination continued at the end of 1959 by the launching 250 GT SWB (Short Wheel Base) variant. Unfortunately, the Ferrari's domination was recede slowly in 1962 when the 250 GTO varian been born.

Times are changing, especially with the introduction of mid-mounted engines in the 1950s which significantly changed the outlook of the sport and made many of the previously dominating racing cars obsolete, including the Ferrari 250 GT and 250 GTO. 

Again, the Maranello-based car manufacturer seems late to anticipate and respond these technical innovations, just look at they were overtaken by Maserati, its arch-rival whose first built the first and successful mid-engined sports car called the Maserati Tipo 63 powered by a V6 engine in 1961.

1963 Ferrari 250 LM with chassis number of 5893 sat on display at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3rLbhp0)

Instead, the first mid-engined car made by the prancing horse logoed auto manufacturer was the Ferrari 156, a F1 racing car which successfully won the 1961 F1 Championship event in both the driver and constructor categories. By the determination and ambition to reclaim the old domination once won through the 250 GT, Ferrari finally decided to build a completely new car called Ferrari 250 LM and designed by Pininfarina.

1963 Ferrari 250 LM with chassis number of 5893 sat on display at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3rLbhp0)

The new car is based on the Ferrari 250 P, which is predicted to be very suitable for GT racing after had some modifications. Although at first glance they look similar, the Ferrari 250 P and 250 LM have a very striking difference namely the roof addition and chassis tube, made of higher gauge of steel for extra rigidity.

The Ferrari 250 LM was first launched to the public at the 1963 Paris Auto Show (Paris Auto Salon), and soon the production version was built by the Maranello-based car manufacturer in 1964. There is a difference between the 250 LM car show version and the production version, namely the engine displacement.

1963 Ferrari 250 LM with chassis number of 5893 sat on display at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3rLbhp0)

In the 250 LM show car version still used the GTO derived 3 litre engine, therefore it still deserves to be called 250 LM when referring to the name. Meanwhile, the production version uses the a bored 3.3 liter engine version. When referred to the tradition of naming Ferrari cars, the production version of the car should be called the 275 LM, but for commercial and homologation reasons the 250 was used.

The Ferrari 250 LM homologation request was rejected by the FIA in 1964, because (they assumed) Ferrari would never ever produce the 250 LM as many as 100 units as required. In the end, it turned out that Ferrari only built 32 units of the 250 LM, it's proves that the FIA's opinion is correct.

1963 Ferrari 250 LM with chassis number of 5893 sat on display at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3rLbhp0)

With the GT homologation refusal, the Ferrari 250 LM only qualified for the race in the prototype class, where it was up against more sophisticated rivals from its own stable. But it does not necessarily dampen the 250 LM's steps to performing and made shiny achievements on the racing track, and in 1964, 10 victories were scored out from 35 entries.

In 1965, as many as 5 units of 250 LM cars were brought to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans arena by privateers. At that time, the efforts of the Ferrari and Ford prototypes failed due to poor reliability, on the other hand, the NART raced with the 250 LM, managed to get its best win, plus two of the other four cars finished in the second and sixth. Although the 250 LM was not as successful as its predecessors, at least it managed to secure Ferrari's last overall the 24 Hours of Le Mans victory and to this day it has a special place in the hearts of Ferrari fans. 

With a limited production number of only 32 units, of course, making it one of the prized and rare of the prancing horse logoed sports cars. For this reason that a number of the 250 LM replicas were built, and it became chaotic when the original serial number was used on the replicas then makes many were confused. One thing is for sure, there are more than 250 LMs in existence today than originally left the factory. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | WIKIPEDIA | ULTIMATECARPAGE ]

The first Costin-bodied Lister to be powered by Chevrolet race car

Unique ONES The world's racing car history has always been decorated with many remarkable four-wheeled vehicles which were specially made and designed by many capable designers and engineers based on science and technology according to its era. As the result, not infrequently from those R&D process there's a vehicle is born that looks unique and amazed many people while said, 'How come?'

1959 Lister Costin Chevrolet Streamliner was designed by aerodynamicist Frank Costin, and powered by the Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3d3G7p9)

The unique-shaped racing cars began to appear a lot in the racing season of 1950s and have continued until now. And one of them is the cynical-gazed Lister Costin Chevrolet Streamliner race car of the 1959 and had a fierce performances on the circuits. It's said that the Lister Costin Chevrolet race car represented a new direction for the British Brian Lister's car maker company through the slippery streamliner body was designed by aerodynamicist Frank Costin, and powered by the Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine.

1959 Lister Costin Chevrolet Streamliner is instantly recognizable by its low, streamlined bodies, which shows a striking difference from the previous Lister's 'Knobbly' design with its large wheel arches. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3d3G7p9)

As we already know, that Frank Costin is a former engineer at the de Havilland Aircraft Company and also known as one of the leading minds at adapting aircraft aerodynamics to racing cars. Previously, he had worked for Lotus on an advanced bodywork development project for the Lotus Mark VIII. If You wanna see several of Costin-designed cars, here they are ie the 1957 Maserati 450S Costin-Zagato Coupe, and 1970 Costin Amigo.

1959 Lister Costin Chevrolet Streamliner has extraordinary abilities so that it becomes the holder of the highest Top Speed among its Lister-badged brethren. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3d3G7p9)

And in 1958, he was hired by Brian Lister to develop a new, more aerodynamic body for the Lister car. Reportedly, as part of the agreement between those two men that mentioned if Frank Costin designed a body for the 1958 car, so he would be allowed to design an entirely new frame for it. It's the first car to be powered by a Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine. In appearance, the Costin-designed race car is instantly recognizable by its low, streamlined bodies, which shows a striking difference from the previous Lister's 'Knobbly' design with its large wheel arches.

As quoted of DriveTribe, the OHV Corvette V8 engine is well mounted behind the front axle for optimal weight distribution and the top is covered with 8 mesh-covered velocity stacks that serve as an air cleaner. Then, its exhaust exits into long-tube headers that run to tubular mufflers on either side of the car, and there’s a rear-facing scoop on the bonnet to ensure plenty of cool air to feed the American V8.

For the car construction, most Lister cars of the time used a similar tubular ladder chassis, a de Dion rear axle, and inboard drum brakes (but with a few exceptions). The body is made of lightweight aluminum with a tiled front hood to allow track side mechanics to have plenty of access to the engine room, and the cockpit has a single seat, a steering wheel on the right side and a 4-speed gearbox.

The Costin designed car is also touted as a streamliner prototype which is famous for being more aerodynamically slippery than other Lister designs. Besides that, the 1959 car has extraordinary abilities so that it becomes the holder of the highest Top Speed among its Lister-badged brethren, this is understandable partlly due to the use of the latest American V8 engine.

And in 1959, the car with the chassis number of BHL 121 was purchased in new by John Ewers, and also raced on several circuits during that season at Crystal Palace (as number 64), Silverstone (as number 1), and in the following year at the Goodwood B.A.R.C. Members’ Meeting (number 98), where he enters a Whitsun Cup and Whitsun handicap race.

1959 Lister Costin Chevrolet Streamliner is real one-of-a-kind, and could be provided a front-running entry at many of the prestigious historic motoring events on its hey day. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3d3G7p9)

Then in 1960, the Lister's race car was then sent to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), because it was bought by Mr. Jimmy de Villiers, who had it campaigned in Africa by driver John Love. After a lengthy stay in sub-Saharan Africa, the BHL 121 found its way to America, where it's raced extensively on the west coast. Eventually the car was brought back to England after finished a comprehensive restoration by Canepa Design, a company based in California.

And throughout 2015 and 2016, the car had seen to public while driven by its owner in that time to be raced at the Goodwood Revival in 2015 and 2016, the Goodwood Members' Meeting 2015, and the Donington Historic Festival 2016. After that in the 2019, the car had been known to be offered through the Fiskens in London. This is real one-of-a-kind, and could be provided a front-running entry at many of the prestigious historic motoring events on its hey day. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FISKENS | SILODROME | DRIVETRIBE ]

De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby MkV Prototype

ONE-OFF In the 1960s there were two big names in the automotive world, Alejandro De Tomaso and Caroll Shelby who were known to have worked together. Both of them have similar backgrounds were former racing drivers turned automakers with almost the same philosophy of making European light cars with excellent handling and adding a hefty American V8 drivetrain.

1969 De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby Mark V Prototype was the only one ever made. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3r6Ytcs)

De Tomaso and Shelby worked together in at least two car projects which was later transformed into the De Tomaso Sports 5000 and De Tomaso P70 prototypes. However, after the failure of the P70 project, the two later separated, as it is known that Shelby managed the Ford GT40 Le Mans program and De Tomaso developed his own car which later known as the Mangusta.

The "Shelby MkV" badging on the grille and unusual paint scheme are indicators that this is no ordinary Mangusta. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3r6Ytcs)

As quoted of Carscoops, the original Mangusta car design was done by Giorgetto Giugiaro when he was still working at Carrozzeria Ghia and was originally intended to be a model for the new Iso Rivolta car. For some reason, Iso's boss at the time Renzo Rivolta rejected the design and then Alejandro De Tomaso immediately bought the design for his own use. He later named it as the 'Mangusta,' an Italian word for 'mongoose.'

1969 De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby Mark V Prototype is finished in bright red with white racing stripes, a rear spoiler, side scoops and "Shelby MK V" badging. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3r6Ytcs)

The mongoose is the only animal that hunts, kills and eats cobras. It is not known whether the car naming has anything to do with Caroll Shelby, who at that time appeared with a car brand called Shelby Cobra. Or maybe with the Manguta name, De Tomaso wants to show the competition between himself and Shelby.

1969 De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby Mark V Prototype was a well-equipped vehicle with air conditioning and power windows, leather seats, and ample instrumentation. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3r6Ytcs)

Uniquely, in the De Tomaso Mangusta car development, it again involved the Caroll Shelby name when the car was sent to the United States for evaluation by Ford, one of the American car manufacturers. At that time, the car, which was named De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby Mark V, was painted, given the distinctive Shelby badge and was predicted to be the successor of the famous Ford GT40 Mark IV. However, after being examined by the Ford executives and was decided to reject the car design.

1969 De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby Mark V Prototype cabin features a black leather interior with a gated shifter for rowing gears, controls for the power window lifts and air conditioning. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3r6Ytcs)

The De Tomaso Mangusta made its first public appearance at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, shortly after the car returned from America. It is believed that only one De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby MkV was ever built, then the De Tomaso Mangusta production version was made as much as 401 units between 1967 and 1971. The car sits on a steel backbone chassis with a load-bearing and uses a rear-mid mounted Ford V8 engine.

The De Tomaso P70 steel backbone chassis, a modified version was used on the Mangusta. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3r6Ytcs)

For the engine, it is known that there are 2 types of V8 engines used in the De Tomaso Mangusta cars, namely the 208 cu.in. engine which was originally used on models produced for the European market, while for the American model used the 302 cu.in. But in later production cycles the entire car was fitted with a 302 cu.in engine. In addition, the car is also equipped with the independent front-rear suspensions, disc brakes on all four corners, rack and pinion steering, and a five-speed ZF transaxle to send the engine power to the rear wheels.

Beneath the rear gullwing hatches resides a Boss 302 Ford engine, professed to be built by Shelby American, and is fitted with finned "DeTomaso" valve covers and a current jackshaft to operate the alternator and standard air conditioning compressor. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3r6Ytcs)

The car's interior is described as comfortable for people under 6 feet tall and a little tight for those above it. It was a well-equipped vehicle with air conditioning and power windows, leather seats, and ample instrumentation. As well as the stunning good looks of the Mangusta, perhaps the most famous of which is the gullwing bay rear door which both opens to offer excellent engine access on both sides.

The Mangusta has unusual engine bay lids that can both open fully to give excellent access. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3r6Ytcs)

And it given a distinctive livery of red with white racing stripes and carrying the Shelby MkV bathing front and rear, indicates that the car is a unique piece of automotive history that many don’t know about. If you are a true automotive enthusiast and dreaming of a truly valuable car, then this one is the right choice.

Especially considering the high prices of the original Ford GT40 and Shelby Cobras. Now you have the opportunity to own it or even just to see it at the Mecum Auction list. And reportedly the De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby MkV prototype car will be sold at auction with prices ranging from the US. $ 300,000 to $ 350,000. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOPS | SILODROME | MECUM AUCTION ]

Is this the latest Hurtan's sports car that will debut on this year?

Let's WAIT! Alternately, crossover and electric powered vehicles have sprung up, perhaps making some of us feel bored. If you are one of those people who feel bored? Don't worry, you are not alone. We are also among those who feel bored.

The Hurtan Grand Albaycin, a Spanish retro sportscar concept uses the Mazda ND MX-5 as its platform and mimics the style of the 1960s British sports cars. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3pbfOjQ)

Now on this occasion we will discuss something very different and very special, of course. Maybe all this time you also never imagined what would happen if the Spanish design married to the Japanese technology.

The Hurtan Grand Albaycin sports car concept is caught by camera while under the road test with all over its body covered by special camouflage. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3pbfOjQ)

Now it will be seen in a new car model which is the result of the development of a Spanish car producer called Hurtan Automoviles. This new sports car mentioned above is actually under development, whose its shape cannot be fully seen because it's covered by special camouflage. But at first glance the car could be seen as a retro-style two-door sports coupe mimics to the 1960s British sports cars and called Hurtan Grand Albaycin.

The Hurtan Grand Albaycin sports car is the collaboration result between Hurtan Automoviles and VeryVip Cars and is inspired by the Hurtan's T2-Reedition concept car. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3sWxaDA)

Currently, the Spanish manufacturer is testing the car with what looks like a complete set of production packaging, covered with a special camouflage layer in all over its body. As you can see the car with the body covered in a layer of winter-style camouflage it seems to have managed to hide the small details, but we can still see the shape of the car which is a little chubby vehicle.

The Hurtan Grand Albaycin sportscar concept's front fascia is dominated by two large headlights that are placed almost parallel to the hood (could be said the company's typical style). (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3sWxaDA)

As quoted of Carbuzz, Hurtan Automoviles teamed up with VeryVip Cars on the development of this two-seater luxury sports car inspired by Hurtan's T2-Reedition concept car. Its front fascia is dominated by two large headlights that are placed almost parallel to the top of the hood (could be said the company's typical style), while underneath there is a small radiator grille which gives the car a very cheerful look.

It seem the Hurtan Grand Albaycin sports car concept's inside will be filled with a touch of luxury that is very classy. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3sWxaDA)

While its legs featured the muscular wheel arch hides large polished aluminum wheels. It also gives the impression that the Hurtan coupe overall appearance reminds us at first glance of Wiesmann's car. Then it shifts to the rear, where the design looks smoother with a pair of round taillights and a quad chrome-layered exhaust system.

And as quoted of Carscoops, the Hurtan new sports coupe will be based on the Mazda platform, and, most likely will use an engine sourced from the Japanese car manufacturer. The company also said the sports car will be built two different styles, ie Cabrio and Targa bodystyles. 

The Spanish automaker is assembling each of the Hurtan Grand Albaycin sports cars according to the right specifications for its customers and released local pricing starts of €59,000 (about US$72,900). (Picture from: http://bit.ly/3sWxaDA)

Both are mated to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. And for the smaller one has a 132 horsepower drivetrain of the 1.5 liter engine, while the bigger one is 2.0 liter with an output of 184 horsepower.

For the second variant, there will be an automatic gearbox optionally available. If all goes according to plan, the Hurtan sports coupe should launch in the first quarter of 2021. The Spanish automaker is assembling each of those cars according to the right specifications for its customers. And as quoted of Carscoops, this Spanish retro sportscar priced starting of €59,000 (about US$72,900 or Rp. 1.024 billion). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | HURTAN.COM | MOTOR1 | CARBUZZ | MOTOR.ES | CARSCOOPS ]
