Cutaway Drawings / Models and Exploded Diagrams

Helps the wheels are only 3" wide.

Helps the wheels are only 3" wide.

Yes, that was a good design feature. Large wheel diameter and narrow tyres with tall flexible sidewalls gives a large tyre contact area, without the power sapping drag of displacing a wide path of loose surface materiel from in front of the wheel.

A couple from Terry Davey, the guy that does the cutaways for the Haynes manuals.

When I worked at Cat tech center, they had transmissions and engines cut open exposing the internals. Thought that was really cool.

Of course, this is my favorite.

I had to get my magnifying glass out to find your position, it looks like there's not much leg room in there?

Front engined front wheel drive Austin Metro with A series engine (from the mini) making around 45hp.


4wd Group B Metro 6r4 (6-cyclinder, Rally, 4-wheel-drive) with mid mounted four-cam, 24-valve, normally aspirated 3.0-litre V6 making upto 410bhp depending on spec.


Both shared some bodywork, mostly just the roof.

I have also been fascinated with cutaways and exploded views since childhood. So much; in fact; that I now make them almost on a daily basis. BTW, my day job is a tool designer.

I only get to make a few exploded views a year, but I do my best to make them perfect

Both of them were awful. Mostly, well, just the whole thing...!

They weren't brilliant. I learned to drive in a 5 door 1.1 metro. Not saying i wouldn't want one of the new 6R4s thats available though.

Heres the engine cutaway.

Goggomobil cutaway display was made by trade school students in Germany and presented to BMW's Werk's 2.1 museum in Dingolfing. Here's a link to more pics -

I've never seen one of these, but I met a Land Rover R + D chap who had driven one.. He said: "People laughed, but actually they perform incredibly well off road".

The standard fwd 2cv perform well off road.
Give it 4wd and double the power because two engines.

They are a rare beast though the Sahara.

And finally, from the same 1991 publication, an early, pre-production design sketch of the Mini, drawn by it's designer, Alec Issigonis :-



It seems he originally considered having a tubular frame in the front to carry the engine and suspension mountings. His handwriting was atrocious, so I'll try to decipher it :-
Tube (provides torsional stiffness to front end structure)
Petrol Tank (stressed)
Double thickness (presumably of body panels) around tube.
Engine mounting on tube.
Tube crossmember at front on subframe.
Front suspension fittings on tube.
(Suspension) Units outside (of tubular frame)

^^ This must be the DeLuxe (Lusso?) version of the 500.

All the multi-coloured parts above were either painted black or were rusty on my old 500.

Didn't the luxury version just have carpet not rubber mats?

In the 70s I found a book in the school library that was all cutaway drawings of everything from a chainsaw to a semi to the lunar lander. 8 year old me devoured that book... I renewed it and re-read it over and over - it answered so many questions I had.

in the very early 90s, most of the textbooks in trade school were still full of cutaway handmade drawings which just made sense to me. Now I see computer generated diagrams but they just don't give me the same perspective and inner vision of something. Probably just my age - I can't stand trying to follow a schematic on a computer either.

Anyway - in a similar vein, Cummins headquarters in Columbus has this:

I had that happen to an AC VW engine while driving once.

At first glance I thought CM's pic was maybe a Damian Ortega sculpture.
