627 [Sci-Fi Supercar]
Han Han has also participated in many car rallys, but it is the first time he has encountered a Bib Gourmand Challenge!
Rally racing is not about driving however you want. It has a set average speed, the error must be kept within a certain range, and the driver and the navigator have to plan how to run for themselves. In which stages to speed up and where to slow down, it's also against the law if you drive the average speed too fast.
The Bibendum Challenge is even more ridiculous, with an average speed of 70 yards and relatively good road conditions, so ordinary people can drive 100 yards at will. In addition, points will be deducted if it is slower or faster than the specified average speed, and the greater the error, the more points will be deducted, and the one with the least points will win.
This means that the closer you get to the finish line at the allotted time, the higher the score, rather than winning in the shortest time within the allotted average speed – to put it bluntly, this rally is not about testing the drivers, but about the performance of the cars.
Han Han held the steering wheel with one hand, and chatted with the navigator from time to time: "It's so easy to earn extra money this time." ”
The navigator glanced at the road book signal in front of him and reminded: "Be careful, don't overturn in the gutter, you are about to enter the driving section ahead, and it will be funny to deduct a few points from your driver's license for speeding." ”
The driving section is a normal road, and drivers must follow the traffic rules.
For example, on the city road in front of him, the speed limit is 50 kilometers, so Han Han can't speed. There is a traffic police on duty on this road, and you can't arrive early or late, otherwise you will be deducted points.
Han Han took the time card and waited for a while, and finally pinched the time to set off. Then there is a special section of the road, there are no other vehicles on the road, you can run casually. It's a pity that the competition stipulates that the average speed of this section shall not exceed 80 kilometers, and only 5% error is allowed.
The next section is a bit worse, with its bumpy and potholed gravel path. Fortunately, the third-generation Tesla in order to take care of the road conditions in China, the chassis is not very low, otherwise it would have to lie there. Moreover, the speed limit on this road is 30 kilometers, and the average speed of the participating cars must be made up in the later sections.
The 88km race came to the finish line quickly, and it was a super special section with a variety of S-turns.
This kind of track design is to test the driver's ability and increase the spectacle of the race.
The onlookers stood on both sides of the track, and Han Han drifted one drift after another at a speed of nearly 80 kilometers per hour, attracting bursts of applause from the audience.
"Slow down, slow down!" the navigator hurriedly reminded, "This is an electric sports car that has not been modified, and it doesn't even have a gear, you should be careful not to overturn people." ”
Han Han stepped on the brakes and said: "The road is so good, I couldn't hold back for a while, in fact, I still want to go faster." ”
The navigator looked at his watch and said, "We have enough time, and let's not forget that this race is not about speed, but about accuracy." ”
Han Han said: "The guy who designed the race was so bad, there was an average speed limit on each section, and then there was a 3-kilometer garbage section at the back, forcing the riders to accelerate through the corner on the last section of the SSS road. This Tesla is a sports car chassis okay, there are a few electric cars in the competition with very high bodies, I am really afraid that they will overturn when drifting at high speed. In particular, GM's model looks like a van that is not fully developed......"
"Drive honestly, you're chatting around high-speed corners!" the navigator scolded, measuring the time, "for the rest of the journey, maintain an average speed of 75 yards." There is a car ahead!"
Han Han drifted and overtook on the inside of the curve, and said with a smile: "I saw it, I said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, it was the GM." This guy is out!"
This race adopts a bicycle starting mode, with one starting point every minute. Han Han was driving in time throughout the whole process, and the GM electric car was caught up by him, indicating that the time error of the GM electric car was more than 1 minute.
Han Han quickly finished the corner, and the navigator said, "Slow down a little more and brake below 73 yards." ”
"Whoosh!"
Tesla drove past the finish line like an arrow from a string, and the whole process took 2.36 seconds to lose. Well, it's 2.36 seconds faster......
The championship was won by the Toyota Prius (hybrid), and the error was within 2 seconds (nearly 2 seconds slower), and the Tesla driven by Han Han only won the second place. In addition, the third place went to the Audi A8 (hybrid), the fourth and fifth places were all all-electric Mercedes-Benz cars, and the sixth place was the Michelin concept car (all-electric).
The moment Han Han took off his helmet, the end of the race suddenly became a sensation.
The reporters didn't go to interview the champion anymore, and they swarmed around Han Han, throwing out all kinds of messy questions.
A reporter asked: "Han Shao, why did you come to drive a Tesla to compete? ”
Han Han smiled: "Because I especially like the Tesla brand, the Tesla GT3 (third generation) is the most satisfying sports car I have ever driven." And it's an electric car, which is very environmentally friendly, and after I learned that Tesla was going to participate in the Bib Gourmand Challenge, I took the initiative to ask Ying to be a Tesla driver. ”
"Do you know Mr. Song Weiyang?" asked another reporter.
"Acquaintance," Han Han said, "everyone knows that I became famous through the new concept competition held by Sprout. At that time, Mr. Song's wife was working as an editor at Sprout, and she was also the invigilator in one of the exam rooms. ”
"Mrs. Song worked as an editor in "Sprout", and she also worked as an invigilator for a new concept competition?" the reporters instantly became excited.
Han Han said: "Yes, I also met her in Sprout Magazine, and I didn't know that she was Mr. Song's wife at the time. Some time ago, I was drinking coffee with Mr. Song, and I heard Mr. Song talk about it, which made me feel that Sheng Hai is really small. ”
"What is your impression of Mr. and Mrs. Song?" the reporter asked.
Han Han said: "Mr. Song is very generous, he knew that I liked the Tesla GT3, and immediately gave me one. This car was going to sell for 8 million, so I was so scared that I didn't dare to accept it, and in the end Mr. Song gave it to me. ”
Anyway, it's nonsense to promote Tesla, among these interviewers, there are also reporters from the car section of NetEase and Sohu, who are always complimenting at critical times.
The next day, some websites and newspapers, including NetEase and Sohu, began to frantically report Tesla-related news.
The focus of the report is, of course, Tesla's acceleration to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, as well as the on-board GPS navigation system and the color full touchscreen console. This console even has an MP4 function, which portes the newly launched Shenzhou MP4, which can play movies by inserting a USB flash drive, and can be connected to Bluetooth for mobile phone calls.
A sci-fi supercar of the future!
That's Tesla's promotional positioning.
Nowadays, mobile phone Bluetooth, MP4, car GPS, and full-color touch screen are all very cutting-edge and fashionable products. These have actually been transplanted to Tesla, plus they belong to electric drive, what is not a sci-fi supercar?
Looking at the pictures and text introductions about Tesla, young people who pursue fashion are simply in love with it, and countless Han Han's brain-dead fans have even praised this car to the sky. Sohu's Renren's mini-game "Grab a Parking Space" has filled the price of Tesla GT3, and the game positioning is more high-end than Lamborghini and Ferrari, which is equivalent to the SSR in "Grab a Parking Space".
Immediately, Jiang Wen drove a Tesla all over the capital, and watched "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" in the car with friends in the circle, and this news quickly appeared in entertainment magazines. And Sister Liu Fu, who had just come out of the detention center, drove a Tesla to the crew, and was "accidentally" photographed by the paparazzi.
Tesla's news reports, from the automotive industry to the entertainment industry in an instant, suddenly became a fashionable luxury.
Zhang Chaoyang, who has always been high-profile, took the initiative to talk about Tesla in an interview: "I like that car very much, and I have already booked one, and it is estimated that the car will be picked up by the end of the year." Tesla GT3 is not only a sports car, but also a high-tech product that represents the future, just like the Internet. ”
In that month, a few rich second-generation people came to order a car, they were not short of money, and they bought a car purely to be cool and earn face. Tesla GT3 satisfies all this, the appearance is enough to pull the style, and the internal functions are particularly handsome, which definitely shocks the female companion in the same car to the point of screaming, and it can definitely make other rich second generations envious.
It's a pity that there is no stock at all, and the only few cars have been taken to the exhibition and given away. If you want to buy a Tesla, you can only make a reservation, and it is normal to queue for more than three months, and it is possible to queue for a year.
But the more they have to queue up, the more the rich second generation feels that it is worth it: this thing is not a big road product, and the rarity is particularly high, which can make them unique among friends!
