(Pronounced: Shaperel) My late father gave me an incredible scale model of this car, when I was 10 years of age, in 1982. I wish I still had it. It had an electric motor inside, that created an actual vacuum, to demonstrate the functionality of the system. . My dad was a die maker for GM, and he was fanatical about ALL Chap cars, from every era.
That's why the Fan Car is the ultimate race car and track weapon. It stops, handle ls and accelerates faster than any other vehicle using traditional aero.
now we have mcmurtry speirling which does the same, but as ev. and much smaller in size that it looks ridiculously small, but the debut on FOS is making it seem extremely potential
@@fidelcatsro6948That almost sounded impressive until you start to think for a second... a .1 liter engine... which can only possibly propel something small and slow, like a moped... Getting 100 mpg? Doesn't seem all that impossible to do with ANY type of engine lol. I'd bet you could even get a .1 liter rotary engine on a moped to do 100 mpg, if such a thing would ever exist.
Would have been smarter to have used the fans to push the car down instead of sucking it down. Less complicated, however the elephant in the room on a design like this is, if this system failed - especially at speed - would be a sudden loss of grip and this thing would have been extremely dangerous to the driver and anyone behind him. Sometimes a simple solution is much better, a stationary wing (fixed or adjustable) and good tires is better for simplicity and doesn't just quit on you drastically changing the dynamics of the car.
Chaparral had something like half a dozen ideas banned from Can Am. How bonkers do you have to be to get banned from the literal no rules series that many times?

It always made me think of a washing machine and laughed with it on gt4 until i had to race against it 😅
I still think it's a NASA ship 🙂

I immediately think of blasting through Seattle Circuit in Gran Turismo 4 when I see it. :)
McMurtry Speirling: Who are you?
Gordon Murray Automotive T50: Who are you?
Chaparral 2J: I'm you, but more refined. And slightly blockier too
2Js Competition- "You suck!"
2J Yeah but im still faster then you!

The all aluminum 427 Chevy is what made it fast. The fans kept it on the ground.
nightmare of the kids that played GT4
0:25 Honda Civics with a fart can at 3AM be like:
Bwahahahaha! Perfect!
Wtf! Honda shitbox
Okay I am gonna put a BF Dyson and some Zara skirts on my EV kart next week
Awesome. Glad you covered this. CanAm ruled ! Jim Hall was dope.
McMurty Speirling is the EV version of the 2J.
He's still alive!
@@apancher LOL, Jim Hall IS dope. Currently! Thank you for clarification, @apancher !
Best track dryer/cleaner ever
Certainly the best lol
Excellent video! I've been interested in this car for many years, and your video is the best I've seen about it. Keep up the good work!
Crazy car. Fascinating story. Thank you.
now we have mcmurtry speirling which does the same, but as ev. and much smaller in size that it looks ridiculously small, but the debut on FOS is making it seem extremely potential
Definitely ahead of its time
Great job Mister!
The genius of Jim Hall! You should do a video on the Howmet turbine car and Bob McKee!
And yes Gordon Murray was not the first 😉
All hail Jim Hall
Non Colin Chapman
Gordon Murray banned it
Just imagine if Chaparral would make the modern version of the 2J in 2025!
Love these. Way out of the box thinking!
No, it is the box. 😂
2 stroke is the best combustion engine ever created 💯. If engineers can fix the fuel consumption and pollution it'll be superior.
Sure we can! My 115cc yamaha used to give 100mpg!!
A few companies tried it. Check out Orbital of Perth Australia.
Maybe just egr and multiple stages.

mazda has a patent that insted of uniflow, it has overhead valves aimed to swirl to scavenge
Just imagine if the 2 stroke engines had resonance chambers 😲
The early day Speiling
If this design was alllowed, we may have vertical highway for the public by now
Real life speed racer circuits
The 2J actually used a 7.6L V8 and not a 7.0, otherwise the statistics are accurate
Gran turismo 4 ❤❤❤
Hi, can you make video about Peugeot WM P88 and his Le Mans Record?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Great video thanks
back when American Big Blocks basically dominated the no limits competition until Porsche came along.
Only problem I see now is when braking you are fighting against the fans that are pushing you forwards.

F1 fan car
Gud vid 💯💥
Motorcycles should be built like this! Suck air with fans filtered with dirt screen then made to cool the engine and pushed out from the top..
Motorcycle cant have side skirts nor ground effect, actually impossibile to do
Lay off the powered sugar. Lol
Looks like fridge on wheels
I have always wondered why they didn’t source some kind of electric motor powered fans?
That would use engine power.
@@ksavage681 you are probably right
maximum *S U C C*
✋🏼🇦🇺👍🏼
this car sucked! literally
To the Author, really???¿¿¿ Only 2 curves on this 'box'😢 could build a better shape than this in one night!!😅😅
Now i know why this car got banned
Because it worked?
You mean a vacuum? what type of engine is irrelevant
Sounds so terrible😂

Had to 1.25x the playback speed to how fast he used to talk..
i am in the bathroom, imagine it
Dont forget to flush!
I can hear your saliava build up when you talk in these later videos which is really distracting.
We had something similar in formula 1, it was the Brabham fan car. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabham_BT46
