The origins of the Ford Model T and its development
The Ford Model T, often affectionately called "Tin Lizzy", was first introduced by the Ford Motor Company in 1908. It marked the beginning of a new era in automotive history and is considered the first car affordable for the masses. Influenced by Henry Ford, the car was produced on a large scale and revolutionized the automotive industry through the use of assembly line production. This drastically reduced production costs and enabled cost-effective mass production. The Ford Model T was built until 1927 in over 15 million units, making it one of the best-selling cars of its time. Thanks to its sturdy construction and simple technology, the Ford Model T quickly gained cult status and is now a coveted collector's item.
Technical features and details of the original
The Ford Model T was known for its simple yet effective design. It was powered by a 2.9-liter four-cylinder engine producing 20 horsepower. Innovative features such as the planetary transmission and a suspension with transverse leaf springs made the car particularly rugged and suitable for various road conditions. The car reached a top speed of approximately 72 km/h (45 mph) and consumed an average of 11 to 18 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers (23.5 to 13.1 miles per gallon). Technical innovations such as the switch from left-hand drive to right-hand drive and the introduction of electric ignition in later models significantly improved the vehicle's drivability and comfort.
