「リトラ」でなければ、スポーツカーにあらず？「リトラクタブルヘッドライト」はなぜ姿を消したのか

　I think the definition of supercars and sports cars is still in a dispute of objections and rebuttals all over the world, but in Japan, retractable headlights (hereinafter referred to as retras) have built a period as a different proof. It is a car equipment. Litra, unlike family cars and dating cars, can be said to be an item that uses a model that contains the individuality and claims of sporty, cutting -edge. The camera kid who paparazed the supercar at the time was aiming for a retra car, because it was adopted by Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Lotus in the 1970s. The most popular was Toyota 2000GT in Europe's supercars and domestic products. After the years, there are many cases of adoption in ordinary passenger cars, and it is no longer special, but the development team must have wanted to add specialty in retra.

The litra was a name equipment that balances the low Bonnet position and the appropriate irradiation range.

　The reason why Litra was born is cool. And on the aerodynamic side, if the vehicle height is low, the front projected area can be reduced and the air resistance is advantageous. The lower the position of the headlights and the lower the tip of the hood, the better the running. However, if the headlight position is too low, the irradiation range will be narrowed, and even if the visibility from a distance becomes worse, it will not be too low. Therefore, the headlights appear only when necessary when necessary. It is Litra that balances this. Manufacturers have twists and turns, especially due to American regulations, if the car headlights are not round or square, and the regulations of each country have changed (different). For this reason, Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sylvia sold in North America were retira for a while overseas. By the way, the 180SX front mask was introduced to Japan for overseas.

Super car boom boosts retra!For the first time in domestic cars, 2000GT Toyota

　Litra's origin was old in North America, but many Japanese recognized Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus Elan, and 2000GT. Lotus Elan, released in 1962, is very active on a circuit in Japan in a rare era when foreign sports cars are rare. I miss the controversy in the first Lotus European and Elan schools (and the Miura school) released in 1966, which became popular in manga. There is no doubt that they are all supercars or sports cars, but the personality of retra must have been a positive point for Elan. In addition, Toyota 2000GT, which is said to be Japan's first supercar, is also used as a machine operated by the protagonist of the movie series, which is still a huge hit, is also used, and the car on the main character James Bond is a "Bond Car". It is called for a long time, such as being called. The fact that the Japanese car was adopted by the bond car must still be proud of Japan after the war. 2000GT was recognized as a global famous car.
