An increasingly common feature in automatic transmission cars nowadays is paddle shifters. 9 times out of 10, a new car will come equipped with it, be it an econobox like a Honda City or a hot-blooded supercar (a McLaren 720S comes to mind). How did this feature become so prevalent? Is it just a gimmick, or something genuinely useful? How did it even come about? Origins of the paddle shift The most primitive form of a paddle shift system was first seen in 1901, which was invented by Amedé Bollée

Kebanyakan kereta moden didatangkan dengan perincian ini – dari kereta biasa seperti Honda City sehinggalah ‘supercar’ hebat-hebat seperti McLaren 720S.

Looking at our WapCar car list, we have 35 car brands in Malaysia. Other sites might have posted more but even so, that’s quite a lot. Yet, there are some complaints that we have so few brands being represented here. To be honest, the Malaysian automotive market is pretty small in comparison to some of our neighbours. There’s also the fact that it might be difficult to convince Malaysian buyers to buy something different from the norm. It doesn’t matter if the brand has a cool car in its line-up

今日，换挡拨片已经称为自排车型上一个十分常见的配备了。无论是Honda City还是热血跑车（比如McLaren 720S），10辆新车中，有9辆都会配备换挡拨片。这项配备为何会如此流行？它到底只是一个小噱头，还是真的有重要作用呢？它到底从何而来？ 换挡拨片的起源 拨片换挡系统最初在1901年形成，由Amedé Bollée发明，并应用到了他的Bollée Type F Torpedo上。当时，这个系统采用的是纯机械结构。 随后，在1989年，Ferrari在一级方程式赛车640上进一步完善了这项技术。通过安装在方向盘后面的两个拨片，驾驶员能够在双手不离开方向盘的情况下进行换挡操作。并且，由于采用了电子-液压系统，换挡可以在无离合器介入的情况下完成。这一技术的引进，开启了一级方程式整体的技术转向。今天，在F1比赛中，换挡拨片已经是司空见惯的东西了。 之后，Ferrari由将换挡拨片技术引进到旗下的民用车，首先作为选装配备搭载到了Ferrari F355上。而也是从这一刻开始，传统手排换档杆的丧钟也被敲响了。由于换挡拨片十分受青睐，今天的Ferrari已经不再提供手排变速箱的选项了。 A

Nissan's car manufacturing history dates back to 1914, making it one of Japan’s oldest. Between the ‘60s until the ‘90s, Nissan was Japan’s most technologically advanced. When Toyota and Honda entered the car business in 1936 and 1962 respectively, Nissan was No.1. Today, it’s the weakest in Japan. It's a sad turn of events for the company that made the first Japanese car fast enough to beat a Porsche – at the 1966 Japanese Grand Prix, two R380s took the top two spots, ahead of three Porsche 906

Sejarah pembuatan kereta Nissan boleh dikesan balik seawal 1914, membuatkannya salah satu yang tertua di Jepun. Antara era 60-an hingga 90-an, Nissan adalah pembuat kereta Jepun yang paling berteknologi tinggi. Apabila Toyota dan Honda menceburi industri pembuatan kereta pada tahun 1936 dan 1962 masing-masing, Nissan berada di tempat teratas. Hari ini, Nissan adalah yang paling lemah di Jepun.
