The basic structure

A motor vehicle is a motor vehicle that is capable of being driven by its own power and does not need to be built on rails or electric power. Broadly speaking, a vehicle driven by its own mechanical energy is generally called a car.

A car is generally composed of four basic parts, such as engine, chassis, body and electrical equipment.

From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, automobile designers mainly focused on the development and innovation of automobile mechanical engineering. First half of the 20th century, all about the basic structure of the car has been invented, automotive designers begin from the outside to improve on modelling, and successively introduced the aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, the human body engineering and industrial design (industrial aesthetics) concepts such as modelling, makes every effort to let the car can satisfy various age, all kinds of class from the appearance, even the different needs of various cultural background, make the car the best performance of the combination of science and art image, and ultimately to achieve the most perfect state.

Car stylists dress cars up as human bodies. For example: the eyes of the car - headlight; Mouth - air inlet; Lung - air filter; Blood vessel - oil circuit; Nerve I circuit; Heart-an engine; Stomach -- fuel tank; Feet -- tires; Muscle -- mechanical part. Try to inject a cold machinery into life, so that it has extraordinary artistic charm, give people with aesthetic feeling. Car body form in the development process mainly experienced horse car, box car, Beetle car, boat car, fish car, wedge car.
