When it comes to supercars, there's so much more to say.

But how to say it, the supercar is very good, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Fangyuan still decisively gave up the idea of a supercar.

Quite simply, supercars are too demanding for both the driver and the road. Zhou Fangyuan asked himself that he didn't have the professional technology of a posture supercar, and he didn't need to have such technology, because it was absolutely impossible for him to go on the field and hit the wall. It's impossible to be jealous or anything, like some young people have a brain-brain game or something, it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Fangyuan to appear here. But because of this, he asked himself if he was not qualified to drive a supercar. And there are problems with domestic roads, not to say that it is not good, it can only be said that most of the domestic roads are facing old problems, and will be gradually replaced in the next ten years...... Oh, you can run at high speeds, but the problem is that the supercar itself is not known for its driving comfort, and it can even be said that the driving comfort of the supercar is far weaker than that of most cars.

Running a long distance for hundreds of kilometers must not exhaust people to death, and the wear and tear on the car is also huge.

In short, playing supercars in China, for the time being, big cities may be okay, but the road conditions in small cities are definitely not good, and it is a waste to buy them.

Besides, if Zhou Fangyuan wants to buy a car, on the one hand, of course, he is pursuing the youthful vitality of young people, but he still has to consider the driving comfort, he is not the kind of crazy lover of supercars, supercars are good, but they also have to have a choice.

In Zhou Fangyuan's brain, a silver phantom suddenly appeared.

He was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted, he knew what car he wanted.

Shijue, Shijue C8, the car that his idol Jet Li drove in the movie "Ranger", this movie was starred by him and Guo Da Statham, the movie was remembered to be released in 07, in the movie, Jet Li's car is a Squire C8. With its smooth appearance and beautiful appearance, at the first glance, Zhou Fangyuan actually liked this car. Of course, it was in his previous life, but at that time, he could only take a look at such a car, and he had no ability to buy it at all.

But now it's different, and now he can buy this car.

It's not expensive, although Zhou Fangyuan didn't inquire, but he read it on the Internet in his previous life, at that time, Shijue's offer was more than 5 million, soft sister coins, even if it was put ten years ago, this price was appropriate. In fact, if you take a closer look, the price of the car has not risen much, and it has basically been lowering the price. Maybe sometimes looking at the numbers feels that the price of a car will become more and more expensive, but considering inflation, will the hundreds of thousands in ten years be the same as the hundreds of thousands ten years ago? Not long after Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, it cost more than 100,000 yuan to buy a car, and the 100,000 yuan at that time was worth one or two million in later generations, so the price of the car felt as if it had not changed much, and even increased slightly, but in fact, in terms of purchasing power alone, the price of the car was actually declining.

And even if it is five million now, Zhou Fangyuan is willing to spend it, he really likes this car.

The Spyker C8 was the first luxury car built by the Sapper brothers, a horse-drawn carriage manufacturer, in 1898. They did not expect that Spyker would become the world's top sports car brand in the future, but the brilliant performance of the "Golden Carriage", which embodies their concept of "striving for subtlety to show nobility", at the coronation ceremony of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, has since made the Sage brand associated with royalty and prestige.

When Sapphire first developed luxury cars, the Sapper brothers believed that cars with top technology and excellent quality would win the same respect and popularity as the "Golden Carriage", so they successively developed and launched the world's first car with a 6-cylinder engine and constant 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel braking, "dust cover chassis", circulation radiator and other patented technologies, and among the partners of the Sage brand, there are many names such as Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and Bosch.

Moreover, Sage also believes that "transcendence" is the constant philosophy of life for its valued customers, so Sage has also become one of the first car brands to participate in automobile racing and lead the way. In addition to its outstanding performance in the "Beijing-Paris" rally, in 1921 a standard Sjuker C4 broke the endurance racing record, running for 30,000 kilometers for 36 days. A year later, the famous driver Edger drove the C4 to set a new record for the Double 12 Hours in Brookland, England, with an average speed of 119 km/h, and the Double 12 became part of the Sage brand, recording this legend in the world forever.

Due to the quality and action has always adhered to the slogan of "perseverance, strength and unhindered", as well as the experience of insisting on manual production and producing fighter jets and engines, the Sjuker brand has achieved great success worldwide and is known as the "Rolls-Royce of Europe".

The market value of the Spyder, C8 Laviolette, C8 double 12R has repeatedly won the Industrial Design Award and the Exhibition Award, the Spyker C8 Spyder T launched in 2004, equipped with a 4.2-liter twin-turbo engine, the maximum power of 525 horsepower, top speed 320km/h, 0-100km/ H acceleration within 4 seconds, it can be seen that Shijue is the undisputed world's top brand in terms of brand and quality.

The brand positioning and product quality of Shijue determine that its market is always combined with the tradition of honor and transcendence, and it is in inheritance and transcendence that they have gained fame, status and wealth. In 2004, Ssage, which has won numerous awards in the automotive industry, received a higher level of brand status appraisal - Sjuker's brand pursuit of "rich imagination, bold innovation and unwaveringness" has become the national cultural heritage of the Netherlands along with Van Gogh and Rembrandt's paintings, as expressed by Sage owners and Sage enthusiasts around the world, Ssage is not only a sports car with excellent performance, but also a model of cultural spirit and a way of life.

As for the Sjue C8, the details of the design should be to emphasize the aesthetics of the car's appearance, but when designing the car, it is not just about creating a shape, but also about using the appropriate proportions in the shape design to create an irresistible charm. Both SPYKER and Freywille can fully interpret the user's social status and esteemed status as one of their goals, which coincides with the architectural concept of "creating a low-key luxury and livable life for the elite group of China".

The Spyker C8 Spyder's excellent performance and unique shape have attracted a lot of attention. When she was unveiled at the British Motor Show on October 18, 2000, she was immediately awarded the 2000 International Society of Automotive Engineers Award for Engineering Excellence for her outstanding performance.

The Spyker C8 is a state-of-the-art mid-engined two-seater sports car featuring lightweight construction and pure design elements, as well as incredible anti-scratch features from new engineering. The super strong frame is all made of aluminum alloy and pressed at one time. The prototype of the body shell was completed by the craftsmen of the United Kingdom, the world's most skilled and artistic country.

The chassis of the C8 is manufactured by extruding and bending aluminum alloy plates.

The body panels are hand-made, durable aluminum alloy sheets that are no less impact-resistant than steel sheets. All exterior parts, such as mirrors, beautiful air intakes and wheels, are made of aluminum. Each body panel and Sage C8 parts must be identified by a number, which must correspond to the chassis number, because each Sage is the work of Sjuker's best craftsmen, and every production link must be strictly recorded and audited, which is also a reflection of the honor of the craftsmen.

The personality of each Sjuker is highlighted by the extraordinary and stunning interior. As soon as you enter the cockpit, the instruments and control panels are first seen, and the design of the instruments is imbued with nostalgia for vintage aircraft, continuing their glorious history in the field of aerospace manufacturing. As soon as the driver sits in the driver's seat, they are immediately attracted by the uniquely designed gear lever, which is a unique transmission structure that reflects the uniqueness of each Sjuker. All Sage starts keyless. The steering wheel is designed as an aluminium "flying blade", with a 4-spoke propeller spread symmetrically from the centre of the steering wheel, surrounded by elegant hulshof leather.

In addition, elegant 19-inch all-magnesium alloy 10-spoke propeller wheels with central locking nuts are also available as an option.

Luxury and performance are fully compressed into the cabin, with plenty of high-quality aluminium trim and top-quality leather. Car owners can customize any kind of body and leather color that meets their own taste according to their own imagination. All bodies have been painted with more than 15 coats. Philips' latest technology, xenon headlights, are also available on the list of options. Because the main design philosophy of the Spyker C8 is that the shape of the car cannot affect its function, every part of the car must have the required function.

Not only that, but there are many other engineering details that show that the C8 is a road race car to the extreme. Each Sage features the latest bottom design that generates downward pressure, providing superior stability and good handling even at top speeds. From the external shape of the body, the front deflector and the rear diffuser of the car not only ensure the stable and high-speed driving of the vehicle, but also reflect the unique beauty, highlighting the concept of the perfect combination of shape and performance.

Each Spyker is fitted with electronically controlled tilt-up doors connected by extremely robust, lightweight, single-point aluminium hinges. The front and rear bodies can be fully opened, revealing the C8's immaculate engineering details, such as the front and rear adjustable stainless steel independent suspension. Powered by a powerful 4.2-litre all-aluminium V8 engine, the Spyker and C8 Laviolette are undoubtedly the most compact and powerful engines in their class, embodying the most high-end technology such as four camshafts, five valves per cylinder, and a six-speed manual gearbox to drive the rear wheels. An in-line 6-speed gearbox is optional. The 14-inch AP racing disc brakes are equipped with six-piston calipers for powerful braking power, while the KONI Group's shock absorbers for Formula 1 ensure an unrivalled driving experience.

This is the car that Zhou Fangyuan wants.

Of course, he prefers the 16 Spyker C8 Preliator, and in terms of beauty, he feels that it is still above the Spyder C8 Spyder T, of course, this is just a personal preference, and does not represent anyone else. But it's a pity that there are still more than ten years to go before 16 years, so his favorite model can't be obtained for the time being.

However, he knew a thing or two about the Preliator, whose name means "fighter" or "warrior" in Latin, in honour of this aviation tradition: the "fighter" was a fighter built by Sage between 1914 and 1918. But more importantly, the "Preliator" symbolizes the tough battles that Ssage has faced and won in previous years, and the Sage C8 Preliator is designed for discerning car owners. The contemporary design of the Spyker C8 Preliator is more inspired by Spyker's aviation heritage, with a clear emphasisation that the typical aircraft air intakes, the so-called NACA pipes, represent the latest development of Sjuker's signature architecture.

In the first generation of cars the propeller design has been applied to many parts of the car, the second generation of the car showed the inspired design of the steering turbine engine, and in the design of the new third generation car Squiker C8 Preliator, the focus has shifted to flooding the air intakes, the so-called NACA pipes for the aviation industry. In order to improve the car's aerodynamics, some styling changes were made to reduce drag, such as replacing the air duct on the canopy with a NACA pipe. Small ailerons were added to the front splitter and sides to optimize the direction of airflow. The shark-like gills have been discarded, which results in a cleaner and smoother appearance. The glass canopy has a reflective gold coating for jet fighters. The V-shaped grille with honeycomb mesh now features a central pillar first seen on the 2013 Spyker B6 Venator Concept, in addition to the rear diffuser being redesigned for improved functionality, winglets mounted on the front splitter and sides to optimise airflow.

The machined stainless steel rear lights are made up of LED simulating fighter jet afterburners, LED lights are also used for indicator and side light units, brake lights have been carved into the rear panel to ensure smooth flowing design lines, the Spyker C8 Preliator is available in 16 standard colors, but customers can choose any color they want as well as the sporty Spyker Squadron GT2 color scheme, the C8 preliper shown here has a new color called satin light gray. Sjuker will meet any request of a discerning car owner to build them an absolutely bespoke car that they will never find again.

In terms of interior, it is still the traditional mode, the red protective cover outside the power switch is the same as the aircraft, all the switches and panels are also aluminum, and the feel is excellent, especially the exposed gear lever, which is not only unique in appearance, but also extremely good in terms of shift speed and gearing feeling. It's a pity, it's a pity, the time is not right, the time is not right, if it can be more than ten years later, I can directly start the Preliator, but if I think about it carefully, if I really go through more than ten years late, I am afraid it will not be easy to get into today's situation, so think about it carefully...... Well, it's actually as good as it is now, and it's a big deal to buy it in more than ten years.
