Chapter 502 Geneva Motor Show Continued Part 3

It has to be said that Mazda does have two brushes. At present, Guo Tailai took a look at the past, and the most obvious change was the color of the car.

When Guo Tailai made it by hand last time, because the carbon fiber material is not easy to paint, Guo Tailai always used the black color of the carbon fiber itself, and there was no painting process at all. But now, what Guo Tailai saw was a fiery red sports car.

"This is a color specially prepared by our Mazda." Hisashi Matsuyama was very happy that Guo Tailai saw the color at a glance: "In Chinese, it is called soul moving red."

"Very beautiful!" Guo Tailai also liked this kind of red, and praised it without hesitation.

In addition to electronic systems and materials, paint is the only place that can beat Guo Tailai in terms of craftsmanship, and Hisashi Matsuyama seems very happy. When they saw the prototype car, the exposed black carbon fiber body made them feel horrible, and finally they could win the game at this time.

"How is the performance of the engine?" This is the focus of Guo Tailai's attention, so after boasting about the color, Guo Tailai immediately asked about the core data.

"The special steel you recommended is very easy to use and is very suitable for our engine." Hisashi Matsuyama gave Guo Tailai a vehicle brochure, on which was the introduction of the RX7 Ultimate Edition.

The maximum output power of the engine reached 490 horsepower, only 18 horsepower less than Guo Tailai's prototype car. It can be said that this is already very good data. The maximum torque has also reached 585 Nm, which is also only 27 Nm less than that of Guo Tailai's prototype. It has to be said that Mazda's processing and assembly capabilities have indeed reached a level of admiration.

This data is good enough. The specially designed body lines have not been changed at all. Guo Tailai noticed that only some instrument panels and electronic systems in the car have been changed to make the whole car look more advanced. Compared with the old electronic system that Guo Tailai used before, it is much more fashionable. The place has not changed much.

"What material is used for the chassis?" Guo Tailai asked a lot. Last time, Guo Tailai used titanium alloy for the prototype car. Hisashi Matsuyama wanted a prototype car, but it was rejected. I don’t know what new material they chose.

"Aluminum chassis." Hisashi Matsuyama regretted not being able to use a titanium alloy chassis, but there was no way. Now using a titanium alloy chassis would increase the cost too much. Moreover, the aluminum alloy chassis can further reduce weight. On balance, aluminum alloy is used.

"Did you go to the New North for another lap?" The power is a little bit less, but the car is lighter. In theory, it can run a good result. However, there are exceptions. Perhaps this light weight will lead to unstable handling. After all, the weight of the chassis is reduced, so Guo Tailai does not know whether the overall performance is improved or decreased. Sometimes, it's not just about engine horsepower and torque.

"No." Hisashi Matsuyama smiled and shook his head: "In fact, it is not necessary. This car was only released this morning, but more than 10,000 people have come to inquire about the price. There are already more than 200 people from Japan. The order has been placed, and more than 400 have been ordered here."

RX7 has always been regarded as a sacred car in the minds of some racing enthusiasts. Now that there are such high data, and the engine can still maintain a life span of more than 200,000 kilometers, this is enough to make many senior racing professionals very satisfied. This means that this car still has room and potential to increase power, so there is no need to worry about sales. The sentimental party and the racing party are enough for Mazda to make a lot of money.

No wonder Hisashi Matsuyama looks happy. It can be said that today's sales for most of the day have almost earned back the money spent on buying models and a small amount of changes in production lines. Although Mazda paid more than 100 million U.S. dollars for the purchase of the model, Hisashi Matsuyama gave a long explanation at the headquarters and almost got demoted. But after today, he can finally feel proud. It is unparalleled in the history of Mazda that the cost of a new car can be recovered within one day of its release.

Hisashi Matsuyama was very excited, he didn't even hide these things, and told Guo Tai. In the company, he was so full of grievances that he couldn't express it. On the contrary, facing Guo Tailai, the seller, he was almost eloquent, expressing all his grievances, resentment, and subsequent high-spiritedness.

Guo Tailai didn't feel that he had sold out. There is no way, except for Mazda, those guys don’t recognize the cars produced by other companies. They just recognize this old brand company that makes money playing with rotors at every turn. It is also Mazda’s ability to achieve such a reputation. I can’t envy it. .

Accompanied by Hisashi Matsuyama, Guo Tailai and Long Fei were able to get in touch with this ultimate version from inside to outside. The new instrument panel and electronic system make the RX7 Ultimate Edition look very high-end. With the brand-new paint, even Guo Tailai is a little tempted, whether he wants to collect one. Finally, I thought that I still have a stronger prototype car than this one, so I held back.

Guo Tailai focused on the processing and assembly of the engine. It can be seen that the machining accuracy is very high. Although it has not reached the abnormal level of Guo Tailai, it has achieved a precision of five microns. The assembly engineers should be veterans, and Guo Tailai can roughly see the quality of this engine without starting the car.

"It's really the right choice to return the rotary engine to Mazda." When the new car was released at the auto show, Guo Tailai would maintain his demeanor no matter what, and congratulated Matsuyama Hisashi: "Congratulations, Mr. Matsuyama Hisashi."

"Thank you, Mr. Guo." Hisashi Matsuyama really thanked Guo Tailai, even though he had a lot of complaints about Guo Tailai before, but at this moment, he only thanked: "Looking forward to the opportunity to cooperate."

"Me too." Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Guo Tailai politely responded to Matsuyama Hisashi.

Originally about to leave, Guo Tailai suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Matsuyama Hisashi: "Is there a left-hand drive version of this ultimate version? If so, I want to order two, and I want this soul-moving red , send it to Huaxia Capital before the end of the year, is that okay?"

"Of course there is no problem." Will Matsuyama Hisashi refuse the order? Originally, this ultimate version had a left-hand drive version, so I immediately agreed to it without saying a word.

Guo Tailai has already seen the two most concerned cars, and now he and Long Fei are casually strolling around the auto show to see if any interesting cars appear.

"Why did you buy two Mazdas?" Long Fei didn't understand Guo Tailai's thoughts, and asked Guo Tailai after leaving the Mazda booth.

"The company's year-end award!" Guo Tailai replied without hesitation: "I like that color very much, and I think the employees of the company will also like it. When the time comes, give them a chance to draw a lottery to mobilize their enthusiasm."
