Chapter 1203 Ferrari's New Car (Part 2)
The next car Guo Tailai will cooperate with Ferrari is the future Koenigsegg One:1.
This violent and ferocious super sports car is equipped with a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine from the same brother Agera R. After being tuned by the original factory, it can burst out an astonishing 1340 horsepower. And just as its car name implies, the One:1 with a body weight of only 1,340 kilograms has reached a very exaggerated 1kg/1hp in terms of horsepower-to-weight ratio.
However, the top speed of this car is not enough to hit the record, only 439 kilometers per hour, equivalent to 273 miles. Although it has exceeded the 420 kilometers after Chiron's electronic speed limit, it has not been able to break the record of Chiron with no speed limit.
So what Guo Tailai really wants to do is Koenigsegg's further upgraded version of Jesko based on Agera. Not to mention the various luxurious configurations of this car, but only one. The top speed exceeds 300 mph. At present, this is definitely the limit that a mass-produced car can drive.
Koenigsegg has been miserable in the past few years. It was not until the Paris Motor Show last year that Koenigsegg exhibited its own mass-produced prototype car CUS. In fact, the prototype of the Koenigsegg CC was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and was enthusiastically sought after. Satisfactory test results and overwhelming coverage at the Cannes Film Festival prompted Koenigsegg to build a finished car.
It took a lot of time to create a high-quality hand-crafted supercar. As soon as it came out, it faced the beating of Zonda T, a performance supercar two years ago. That’s not to mention, the Lamborghini Chiron was launched earlier than them in the same year last year, and it hit the head straight, with a top speed of more than 467 kilometers. For safety, it had to limit the top speed to 420 kilometers. Seek CC just surpassed the speed of 395 kilometers and sighed.
Even so, Koenigsegg has not formed a production capacity, and what was exhibited last year was still only a perfected prototype. In other words, Guo Tailai has already left Koenigsegg far behind in several supercars. Now Koenigsegg can only follow the car designed by Guo Tailai far away and look at the headlights. Go and eat car farts.
What made Koenigsegg's people faint in the toilet was that Guo Tailai expressed his intention to cooperate with Koenigsegg at the beginning, but the Swede who was in charge of contact at that time was irritated by his superior attitude Guo Tailai. Seeing Guo Tailai's achievements in the supercar industry now, I don't know how the high-level executives who made the decision at that time would feel.
In any case, Koenigsegg is now only a third-rate car manufacturer that has handcrafted supercars but has not yet launched a finished product. Even if it launches a finished car, it can only be regarded as a second-rate supercar manufacturer. As Guo Tailai said, without the achievements of dreams, it will never catch up with manufacturers such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, and even Pagani is far behind.
After signing the cooperation contract, Guo Tailai can be regarded as the real start of work. Several prototypes of the 5.0-liter V8 engine have been sent to Mr. T's engine workshop in London, and those engineers have started to tune the parameters. According to Guo Tailai's request, the output power of this engine should exceed 1,400 horsepower, and if it is filled with E85 biofuel, the output power should exceed 1,800 horsepower. Since it is going to be done, if it can't surpass the original work, what is it called extreme speed?
The domestic side has also received an order. A certain wind tunnel laboratory will help Guo Tailai test the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle's appearance, including the downforce of the rear wing and so on. Now that he has decided to support the country, Guo Tailai will give all the work that can be done in the country to the country.
The carbon fiber body needs higher-grade carbon fiber materials, and Guo Tailai is not polite, and the research and development work is directly handed over to Zhengyifang Technology, so that the fat and water will not flow to outsiders.
Ceramic brake materials and higher-level special ceramics have also been added to Zhengyifang's research and development projects. If possible, this engine will be the first creatively using ceramic materials, which is unique. Of course, in the same way, the development of various in-vehicle systems related to this car is all handed over to Zhengyifang Technology, with its own team, don't worry.
The tires are an old partner, and Michelin has received an order again for sports car tires that can hit a speed of 500 kilometers per hour. After receiving the order, Michelin started research and development without saying a word. The cooperation with Guo Tailai has made them famous in the world time after time, why not cooperate? Losses have to go up! Not to mention not losing money. Guo Tailai even promised to provide a brand new wear-resistant material in half a year, which can revolutionize the wear resistance of tires. Such a partner, the more the better!
Back to Modena, how could Guo Tailai not go back to Pagani?
Pagani currently has three Zonda series, and Mr. Pagani is always in the process of research and development, working hard for his dream. I was also very happy to see Guo Tailai, but I still complained to Guo Tailai: "G, you are also a shareholder of Pagani after all, and you cooperate with Lamborghini and Ferrari, why don't you want to design a new car for Pagani?"
"Yes." Guo Tailai smiled and said to Mr. Pagani: "After I finish the cooperation with Ferrari, I will design a handmade supercar for Pagani."
Mr. Pagani's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked excitedly, "What kind of car?"
"Before the era of electric sports cars, any fuel-engined sports car has to be called Dad in front of our cars." Guo Tailai replied with a smile: "Let Pagani become the No. 1 hand-built sports car, let anyone as long as As soon as you hear the name of Pagani, you should first check if you have enough money in your pocket. Well, just take it as my final work on supercars!"
Hearing Guo Tailai's words, Mr. Pagani's lips trembled with excitement, but he couldn't help being stunned when he heard the last sentence: "You want to close the mountain? Don't play sports cars anymore?"
"Yes!" Guo Tailai said with a smile: "I'm tired of playing in the car, I'm going to play other things. You know, I've recently become obsessed with submarines."
Guo Tailai's desire to play submarines is not a sudden rise. This matter has been fermented for at least a few months. Some time ago, a group of people on the Internet ridiculed Guo Tailai for not recruiting suitable submarine designers. Of course, Mr. Pagani also knows. However, he can also understand Guo Tailai's thoughts. If he can really make a car that can make all fuel supercars call his father, then there is no motivation to continue playing supercars. Of course, it is understandable to change to other games.
"Let your assistant come and discuss with me about the distribution of Pagani's shares!" Mr. Pagani said to Guo Tailai: "You only have 5% of the shares, which is really too little. I think our 50% share should be 50%. Reasonable shareholding allocation plan.”
"P, we are friends!" Guo Tailai frowned.
"Yes! We are friends!" Mr. Pagani said seriously: "That's why I can't let you suffer!"
