Enjoy the latest in motorsport magic, witness what could be the end of the flat tire, and take a ride across the English Channel—in a small Italian car. Triumphs of ingenuity featured in this program include: the Prodrive P2, the MB Supercar, and the MIRA track where both were tested; PAX, Michelin’s potentially invulnerable auxiliary-supported run-flat tire system; new methods of organization and operation in racing pits; and the watertight Panda Terramare 4, a Fiat revamped by Italian engineer Maurizio Zanisi with an inflatable pontoon and waterjet propulsion system. Zanisi explains the process of developing and testing his prototype, which in 2006 he “drove” from England to France, then home to Italy. Part of the Auto Innovations: The Art and Science of Car Engineering Series of 13 videos.
