Gentlemen,


I’ve been following these discussions regarding the slide throttle and
wondered if anyone knows about the slide throttle that BMW made for the
M3’s back in the late 80’s early 90’s in the DTM series in Germany.

I can’t figure out from the pics how the mechanism works. It appears
that the sliding component is a metal (aluminum or SS) plate with some
Teflon coating?

Also found another link to a discussion on slide throttle and barrel
throttles.  Can someone elaborate on the barrel throttle and how it
operates.

Here are some 3D barrel throttles I have been fooling with.
