The T-623 is a Czech rear-engined car, which was manufactured by Tatra. It was designed as a rapid response vehicle for use in motorsport and civilian operations. The car was based on second-hand Tatra 613-2 model, which was originally modified by ''AMK Narex'' (since 1992 ''Narimex'') who speciliazed in rescue operations. This business had been setup by former racer, Cyril Svoboda,who was notorious for having adapted a Lancia Beta for rescue duties.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tatru 613 nezachránili ani jej špeciálne verzie )〕 In 1984, AMK Narex had produced six T-623.〔 The success of the T-623 resulted in Tatra carrying out the modifications, in collaboration with ''Narex'' and ''Kovoslužba'' rescue organizations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Osud vozů TATRA 623 od (slavného) začátku, do (neslavného) konce.. )〕 Further, it also led to a fleet of eight cars being used in F1 at the inaugural 1986 Hungarian Grand Prix. Because of the need of organizers for a car capable of keeping up with F1 cars on the opening race, the then T-623S was further developed into the 2-seat, lightweight and more powerful T-163 R. The car now featured a 3.8-Litre V8 engine producing over 300 horsepower, and was capable of a top speed of some 300 km/h. Its features included: a removable steering wheel and racing seats; adjustable and lowered suspension; upgraded braking system and tyres. Its aluminum fenders, hood, and doors, plus plexiglass windows, contributed to a kerb weight of 1270kg〔 or a significant weight reduction of 350kg (771 lbs).〔 The cars were eventually replaced mostly by modified Škoda Octavia models. Nevertheless, the T-623 went onto to form the basis of the Czech Republic's first super-sports car, the MTX Tatra V8. ==See also== * List of Czech cars 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tatra 623」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
