From -40 to 910 degrees: extreme temperatures your car reaches
- The engines are tested for 12 hours and can reach temperatures over 900 degrees
- 15,000 tonnes of aluminium is melted at 700 degrees to make the gearboxes
- These tests are used to certify the quality and proper functioning of cars in any climatic condition
The Siberian village of Oymyakon remains at 50 degrees below zero for several months of the year, and is considered the coldest permanently inhabited place on Earth. On the other hand, registering a maximum of 57 degrees, the Libyan town of Al Aziziya is considered the hottest location in the world. In order to guarantee that a car can reliably drive in places with such widely different climactic conditions, parts and prototypes are also exposed to extreme temperatures. These are the temperature variations in a car’s development stage as well as when it is being manufactured:
1) Red-hot engines at 910 degrees: This is the temperature that the engines reach during the 12-hour tests prior to their production. They are revved up to 6,500 rpm to simulate their service life under all kinds of conditions. The goal is to certify the highest output while controlling fuel consumption and emission levels.
