摘要

本文重点介绍了土耳其努力建立民族汽车工业的历史，该工业在1961年由国家推动的建造土耳其汽车的项目Devrim(革命)中达到高潮。该项目的结果是在共和国日仪式上公布了三个原型，但很快就被遗忘了。本文调查了项目终止的可能原因，认为建造一辆土耳其汽车对一个追求现代化和西方化的国家的身份具有重大的象征意义。考虑到投入其中的令人烦恼的政治和意识形态动机，该项目很难维持下去。

Turkey makes its own car: automotive ventures and the cars of the revolution

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the history of Turkey’s efforts to establish a national automotive industry, which culminated in a state-driven project to build a Turkish automobile, the Devrim (Revolution), in 1961. The outcome of the project was three prototypes unveiled in Republic Day ceremonies, but quickly left in oblivion afterwards. This paper investigates the possible causes of the termination of the project, arguing that building a Turkish car had great symbolic significance for the identity of a nation in the quest for modernization and Westernization. The project was difficult to sustain considering the vexed political and ideological motivations invested in it.
