Chapter 510 Sweeping New North (Part 1)
When he got out of the car, Mr. Pagani was floating. He never thought that his Pagani factory could one day produce a super sports car that can accelerate from 100 kilometers to 2.9 seconds.
"G, we need a professional driver." Mr. Pagani also knew that he could not fully exert the super performance of this Zonda T-car. After stabilizing, he immediately said to Guo Tai.
"I agree." Guo Tailai fully agrees with Mr. Pagani's statement. It's good to be able to drive a sports car with these unprofessional half-baked guys, but if you want to reach the top speed, you need a professional driver: "I know the McLaren team The technical director, and one of their drivers, I'll try to see if I can get them to help."
The technical director's phone call was quickly dialed, Guo Tailai expressed his meaning, and then asked the technical director for his opinion.
It is not a big deal to find a driver for the team, but it is unfortunate that today is exactly June 12th, and tomorrow there is a race at the Montreal Circuit in Canada, so neither the chief driver nor the second driver can help This is busy.
In the three races in May, the McLaren team won the championship in all three races relying on two titanium alloy engines and the outstanding performance of the drivers. Among them, there were two runner-ups, which made the teeth of other teams itch.
"Didn't Hines cooperate well with you last time? Why don't you let Hines pass this time?" the technical director suggested. As the last driver, Hines has not had a chance to compete in the race yet. But it should be more than enough for the test drive.
"Hines? No problem." The last time I cooperated with Heins at the New Nordschleife, the two had a very pleasant cooperation, and what Heins said was absolutely fine.
"I'll inform him that he will arrive in Italy tomorrow." The technical director was very face-saving, and his tone seemed very enthusiastic. Guo Tailai's titanium alloy engine made the McLaren team show its power. Of course, he is willing to maintain a good relationship with Guo Tailai. It is not a big deal to lend a last driver.
"After we finish the test, I can drop by your side and help you reassemble the engine before your next race." Guo Tailai reciprocated and made a promise. As far as Guo Tailai knew, he wanted to see the authentic Mona Lisa in the Louvre, and Mr. Morris was told by McLaren, and Guo Tailai wanted to admit this favor.
The technical director was overjoyed and immediately became happy. If Hines can get Guo Tailai to assemble the engine at every station, he would rather throw Hines beside Guo Tailai and act as a test driver at any time.
Pagani's track is not long, so it is impossible to test other performances happily. When Mr. Pagani heard that Guo Tailai had secured the driver, he immediately contacted Lamborghini, hoping to borrow the other party's test track. That track is a professional test track exclusive to Lamborghini, which can test the performance of more cars.
With the relationship between Mr. Pagani and Lamborghini, there is no problem at all for a mere track. One phone call to solve it, and wait for Hines to come over tomorrow.
Hines came very quickly, probably because of the urging from the technical director, Hines himself also wanted to know the performance of Guo Tailai's new car, so he hurriedly boarded the plane overnight and flew to Italy, and arrived in Modena that night . It was hard to find a hotel for a while, so I slept directly in the small villa where Guo Tailai lived.
The design and manufacture of Model T was completed in two months, and the employees of the entire Pagani factory were very excited. In two months, there were at least forty important patents, some of which, in Mr. Pagani's view, could be used in F1 races. In addition, a variety of new materials and technologies were used, and the ordinary patents were registered for almost one year. More than one hundred items. The collection of the royalties of these patents alone is probably not a small figure.
Fortunately, Pagani does not need to pay for these patents. But it is conceivable that after the release of this car, how many manufacturers will buy the right to use the patent. With this item alone, Guo Tailai can earn coveted wealth.
In the morning, Hines couldn't wait to try Guo Tailai's new car. It's a pity that he can't. He is a professional driver and must have a good understanding of the various performance parameters of the car. So, it was Long Fei again, and began to introduce Hines in detail.
Some parameters can be very few, such as the engine, but some cannot, such as the brake system, which itself needs to be tested by Hines to know. Anyway, when Hines learned about the horsepower of the car's engine, he roared uncontrollably.
Various systems, liftable tail, liftable chassis, and various instrument displays have been introduced in detail. Hines is thoroughly familiar with these, and it is already noon.
Hines spent two hours learning how to control this beast, and when he felt that it was almost done, he began to test one by one.
A professional track, complete with various testing instruments, Mr. Pagani and all members of the Model T project team are present, waiting for the release of various data.
As the tests were carried out one by one, various performance parameters were introduced one by one under several tests by a professional driver, Hines.
Accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers in 2.6 seconds, which is 0.1 seconds better than the original version that Guo Tailai knew. Hines tried this result thirteen times, seven times in 2.7 seconds, five times in 2.8 seconds, and the last time it reached 2.6 seconds. This speed can already sweep all the models. Before the 2.5 seconds of the Bugatti Veyron, all other cars are scum in front of the T-model.
On Lamborghini's professional track, Hines also went to extreme speed once, trying to reach the highest speed. Stepping on the accelerator frantically, Hines hit a top speed of 370 kilometers per hour on the big straight track. Although it was already amazing, it was a pity that he failed to break the record of 380 kilometers per hour set by McLaren F1. The world record of 6.7 kilometers per hour was not even broken by the 385 kilometers of the RX7 Ultimate Edition.
It would be a lie to say that I am not upset, but the aerodynamic performance of the Zonda model determines the limit of the top speed. Mr. Pagani is very satisfied with reaching this speed. According to Hines, the handling performance of this Model T car is simply incomparable, and it is stronger than the last rotor car. Now he can't wait to know whether this car can drive on the New Nordschleife. What kind of speed came out.
Guo Tailai and Mr. Pagani are also eager to get tested. It's a pity that the car was transported, and all kinds of inspections were coordinated and cleared. It would never be possible to complete it within three days. Everyone could only be patient and start preparing for transportation and testing.
Before they could travel, McLaren's technical director called. The race was over, and chief driver Hun Jining was happy to go to the Nürburgring together. He also wanted to test Guo Tailai's new car.
