Chapter 1202 Ferrari's New Car (Part 1)

Looking for a suitable property, Guo Tailai can just leave it to Lao Bei casually. He has enough professionals to take care of these things. When the time comes, Guo Tailai and Chu Fei can go and have a look.

Guo Tailai took Chu Fei straight to the small town of Modena to meet with the people from Ferrari.

The new model cooperation started at the beginning of this year. It was not just after the New Year. The people from Ferrari urged him twice, hoping to meet with Guo Tailai to discuss the new model, otherwise Guo Tailai would not rush back to Italy.

"No matter what the new model is, I have decided on the name." Guo Tailai faced the three Ferrari executives and said with a smile: "To commemorate Mr. Agnelli, the new model is called Agnelli!"

The Agnelli family is the major shareholder of Fiat, and Fiat is a 50% shareholder of Ferrari, which is also crucial to the development of Ferrari. Now that Ferrari can launch the Enzo model named after the founder, is there a problem with launching another model named after Agnelli?

"Of course!" The three senior officials had no opinion at all. Until now, 50% of Ferrari's shares are still in the hands of Fiat, not to mention that Mr. Agnelli really favors Ferrari, even if they don't talk about the reasons for this, do they have reason to refute?

"So, gentlemen." Guo Tailai smiled and asked the three Ferrari executives opposite: "Do you have any expectations for the new model? Or do you have any requirements? We can discuss a specific research and development direction. Our model focuses on what?"

Speaking of this, several senior executives of Ferrari immediately became excited.

"The new car must be unique!"

"Be super-high performance!"

"It must be in line with the legend of the leaping horse that I can hire between heaven and earth."

Each of the three high-level officials expressed their expectations in one sentence.

"That's all?" Guo Tailai was a little dazed. He thought that as a professional car company manager, he should be able to specify some specific indicators, such as the top speed, how many seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers, etc., but none of these things were found, only three. a general expression.

What is unique? Randomly pinching the ugliest car is also unique. Super high performance, how high is super high? As for the last one that conforms to Ferrari's style, what is conformity?

But the more this is the case, the more it shows that Ferrari does not have strict restrictions on Guo Tailai, allowing him to give full play, giving Guo Tailai great freedom. Perhaps, this is another form of trust!

"I think you definitely don't want another two-ton supercar to appear." Guo Tailai laughed and asked the three senior executives, "Right?"

"Of course!" CEO Mr. Camille said with a smile: "But I believe, Mr. T, you will not repeat yourself."

"You really understand me." Guo Tailai laughed: "Okay, let me tell you about my plan and see if you agree."

The three senior executives all became serious, waiting to hear Guo Tailai's explanation.

"I hope to make a supercar with a displacement of no more than five liters but which can squeeze out the ultimate performance of the engine. I hope that the horsepower and weight of this car can reach 1:1 or even exceed 1:1." Guo Tailai said the same No other configuration parameters were mentioned: "In addition, I hope that the top speed of this car can reach 300 miles."

"That's enough!" The three Ferrari executives were already smiling after hearing this.

No one knows the exact condition of this car, but just hearing the 300 mph goal is enough. Now the fastest speed record in the world is 467 kilometers per hour created by Lamborghini Chiron, and 300 miles, converted into kilometers, has reached 482 kilometers, which will be another brand new top speed world record.

All the people here are insiders. Although the Chiron is fast, it is based on the 8.0-liter W16 engine. Although the Zonda T broke the record at the New Nordschleife, the top speed has not broken the record. The Zonda T's engine is a 6.0-liter V12 engine with a maximum power of only 840 horsepower. For an engine of no more than 5.0 liters, if you want to squeeze out more horsepower than the weight of the vehicle, you can imagine how high the technical content of this engine will be.

A car with extremely high technical content and capable of setting a new record, isn't this the excellent supercar that Ferrari needs? Could there be more good news for the three Ferrari executives than this?

"Of course, there is bad news." Guo Tailai promptly poured a ladle of cold water on the heads of the three senior officials.

"What bad news?" Mr. Camille, the CEO, was shocked and asked hastily.

"Expensive!" Guo Tailai smiled, and said calmly: "The technical level contained in this must be psychologically prepared for everyone. The design and manufacture of this car will not be cheap!"

Hearing Guo Tailai's answer, the three senior executives let out a sigh of relief. I was scared to death, thinking it was bad news, it turned out that the design cost was expensive.

"This is not a problem at all." Mr. Camille said with a smile: "We have prepared... sufficient expenses."

The meeting ended perfectly, and the two sides did not disagree on anything, including fees. Guo Tailai did not open his mouth like a lion. It is still the same as Chiron. The design fee of 800 million US dollars for two years is paid in two installments. All Ferrari's technical patents are open to this new car, and Guo Tailai can use any mature technology he thinks he needs to use. Ferrari will set up a special project team and transfer the most capable designers and engineers to serve Guo Tailai.

The specific contract must be drawn up by Lin Jiayi and Ferrari at that time, and Guo Tailai will have nothing to do with the rest, as long as he signs it at that time.

"By the way, Sister Lin, do you still remember the Swede when we met Mr. Pagani?" Guo Tailai suddenly wanted to laugh after getting out of the Ferrari, and asked Lin Jiayi in the back seat of the big red flag.

"That guy from Koenigsegg who called us yellow-skinned monkeys?" Lin Jiayi remembered it after a while, and said with a smile: "Boss, if you don't mention it, I really don't think of him. Now that I think about it, that guy was still there. How ridiculous!"

"Someone from Koenigsegg called you yellow-skinned monkeys?" Chu Fei, who had been waiting in the car beside him, couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Fatty, why didn't you punch him twice on the spot?"

"Oh!" Guo Tailai replied casually: "It's so boring to punch him twice? I ruined their dreams!"

"What dream?" Chu Fei became interested and asked curiously, "How did you destroy it?"

"The world record for the fastest car." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "This is their dream."

"Poor guy!" Hearing this dream, Chu Fei couldn't help shaking her head. She is the spokesperson of Lamborghini Chiron, how could she not know what kind of records Chiron has created?

"The boss can destroy it again next time." Lin Jiayi followed the negotiation all the way, and laughed again upon hearing this.
