Chapter 331: Highest Speed (Part 1)
The car has not had much mileage, and it is clean here in Germany, so all the parts under the hood look very clean and brand new, and everyone can see it more clearly.
With just one glance, these experienced engineers noticed the difference. The parts and accessories in this car are processed with too high precision, right?
You don't need to look at the engine or anything, just look at the screws and nuts that fix these. Whose screws and nuts are made with a mirror effect? The intake pipe is full of things, so bright that it makes people feel weird. Is it necessary to make it like this?
The engine is not big, which is expected by everyone. The rotary engine does not have so many cams, connecting rods, crankshafts, etc., and of course it occupies a small area. Among the engineers present, some had seen a Mazda rotary engine, but when they saw this engine, they were completely puzzled. This is not the Mazda model at all! Among other things, the size is much smaller. How much displacement is this?
Someone asked on the spot, and under the translation of Wan Ming and two female staff, Guo Tailai and Long Fei had a full communication with these engineers.
The displacement of 1.6 is not surprising. Mazda's RX-7 has such a large displacement. But why is the size so small? Guo Tailai didn't hide it either, because stronger metal was used, so the engine cylinder wall was one-third thinner, but because of the improvement in strength, wear resistance and heat resistance, not to mention the weight reduction, even after a substantial increase in power, The lifespan is also increased by 1.2 to 1.5 times.
This basically shows everyone that this engine has not been violently modified, and everyone is already amazed when they heard it. But when they heard the engine parameters, these experts were already stunned.
The maximum power has reached more than 500 horsepower, and the maximum torque has exceeded 600 Nm. Isn't this crazy?
"The new version of RX-7 that Mazda plans to launch next month seems to have only 280 horsepower." A Japanese engineer immediately stated the engine parameters of Mazda's new model this year: "They already feel that the power has been greatly improved."
Compared with the modified engine in front of me, with 280 horsepower, it is like a child's play! What's more, Mazda's original engine has not improved its lifespan, and it still needs to be overhauled for 100,000 kilometers. This new engine is simply a revolutionary breakthrough!
The weight of the car is not a secret at all, it can be said. The shape can be taken casually. Anyway, the appearance patent has been applied for, but the gearbox and chassis can’t be said casually. This is the magic weapon for this car to really improve the handling and truly be a hero on the New Nordschleife. They are all separately registered technology patents, and they will definitely be sold, but not now.
They are all experts, and a few engineers want to experience driving for themselves. Guo Tailai thought about it for a while, and agreed to their request. In order to spread fame, the lap times of the New Nordschleife alone are definitely not enough. It is also a good channel for these professionals to promote it within the major factories.
However, if they wanted to go for a walk, they had to get Wan Ming or a female employee of the company into the co-pilot, since they couldn't drive the car alone anyway. This is different from Hines, who knows if these supernatural beings will take it apart after driving for half an hour and put it back together again? Guo Tailai also pointed to this car to make a fortune!
Before coming to the Nürburgring, Guo Tailai still felt that he was already a rich man. With more than 10 million domestic deposits, a large yard waiting to be demolished, a car and a house, a studio and a beauty salon, he should have no worries about eating and drinking, and the rest of his life.
But when he came here, Guo Tailai realized that he was really a pauper. It costs hundreds of thousands to transport a container by air, and the combined weight does not exceed three tons. Rent a professional parking space for three days, $100,000. This is still the most crude, Guo Tailai feels inferior when he sees the luxury of the Chevrolet next to him.
They don't even have a professional team, and if they want to build one, they'll have to spend millions of dollars. It may not be enough to fill in all of Guo Tailai's net worth. At this moment, Guo Tailai also confirmed that he needed to earn more money to form a more professional team and play bigger games.
"Mr. Hines, thank you very much for today." Finally, these curious engineers were dismissed. They would line up and take turns to feel the driving feel of the new car. Guo Tailai walked up to Hines and sincerely thanked him.
If it wasn't for Hines who jumped out by himself, Guo Tailai wouldn't know where to find such a professional driver. It can be said that Hines made the lap time perfect this time, and he contributed a lot.
"It's me who should say thank you." Hines also smiled sincerely: "Because of Taylor's excellent modification, I have the opportunity to leave my name on this track in my hometown forever. Sorry, I said Wrong, this is not a modification. Except for using the principle of the Mazda rotary engine, all other parts are newly built by you. The key parts of the gearbox, chassis, and car body appearance are all redesigned. I am a professional. I can tell that the feeling of sticking to the ground at high speed is definitely well-designed, and the RX-7 can’t do it.”
"If I said that the appearance of this car was blown through a wind tunnel, would you believe it?" Guo Tailai likes to chat with experts on these topics, and the other party can catch it if you throw a stalk, and the other party knows the goods. A real expert appreciates Guo Tailai, This is what makes Guo Tailai the happiest.
"Unbelievable!" Hines exclaimed: "No wonder, I think your car can still test how much the top speed can reach, I believe it can create a miracle. At least when you promote it, it will be more convincing. "
"Do I have the honor to invite you again as a test driver?" Guo Tailai asked Hines.
"It's a great honor!" Hines immediately agreed. The reason why he brought up this topic was actually because he wanted to test it.
"Well, Mr. Hines, I don't even know how to thank you." Guo Tailai is really happy. With Hines as a professional, he can make the performance of the car to the extreme. The plan is very beneficial.
"Actually, you can." Hines suddenly said something inexplicable.
Guo Tailai gave him an inexplicable look, what does it mean?
"You must know the manufacturer of the car!" Hines said excitedly, "Can you introduce him to me? I want him to help me build an engine with the same precision as your car, can you?"
"Okay, Mr. Hines, let's get to know each other again." Guo Tailai stretched out his hand to Hines again: "Taylor.G, the designer and manufacturer of that car. What kind of engine do you want?"
