Chapter 332: The frightened local tyrants of various countries
"Everyone, don't be impatient, please don't jump to conclusions in such a hurry. The rules of the competition in the video are like this, our Bugatti Veyron sports car, and the MiG-29 fighter, set off on the same runway and the same running line. Then sprint straight forward for a mile, which is 1.6 kilometers. Then both need to return home in time for a mile. In the end, it depends on who runs back to the finish line first, and it wins. ”
Baptiste told the media and the rich people about the speed rules of the Bugatti sports car that Mavi had made at the beginning, and the speed rules of the race with the fighter jets. This kind of competition is quite fair, and there is no deliberate element in it.
So after hearing this, everyone nodded convincingly. Then set your eyes on the LCD TV that was turned on. In the picture, a black-covered Bugatti Veyron is parked on the runway without moving. And not far from it, a MiG-29 fighter of the Russian Air Force is parked.
After the referee's measurement, the position of the front of the Bugatti Veyron and the nose of the MiG fighter are perpendicular to the same horizontal line. Then wait for the game to start and the referee waves the flag. Look at the two monsters, who loses and who wins in the end.
Half a minute later, when the referee raised the black and white checkered flag in his hand, and then waved it down. Suddenly, the Bugatti Veyron sports car parked on the runway, the MiG-29 fighter jet, and the engine ignited at the same time!
Then they accelerated and rushed straight ahead!
The Bugatti Veyron has a top speed of 434 km/h. 0~100 km acceleration time, only 2.5 seconds. So his start was very advantageous. At the beginning of the race, the MiG fighters were ahead of the competition, and it was a long quarter. It wasn't until half a mile later that they were overtaken by the MiGs who came from behind.
Looking at the tail of the fighter jet, the scorching flame that was sprayed, the audience could imagine how strong the air flow was, even through the screen.
At this time, the fighter has already taken to the air. The Bugatti Veyron sports car, on the other hand, sprints at full speed on the ground. Towards the turning point of 800 meters, challenge the extreme results that a sports car can achieve.
The MiG fighter needs to rise to a certain height before it can flip and turn in the air. Bugatti Veyron drivers, on the other hand, need to make a quick U-turn at the turning point with very precise braking. Then run back to the finish line at full speed.
The braking time of the Bugatti Veyron, which goes from 100 km/h to zero, takes only 2.3 seconds. With such a strong braking system, everyone in the audience and the media couldn't help but open their mouths slightly. Obviously, I was very engaged.
"At such a fast speed, you can stop when you say stop, and this braking system is too strong, right?"
"When I was turning, I saw the rear wing of the car, which opened horizontally. This is the air brake of the rear wing, what about the brake disc?"
I have to say that Ma Wei's video idea is very good. At this time in 2002, there was not a single sports car that dared to compete with fighter jets. Even the modified Porsche Carrera next door is about 10% inferior to him in terms of ultimate speed......
In the second half of the race, the Bugatti Veyron made a precise U-turn and sprinted towards the finish. And the MiGs in the air have also flipped over. Those who began to fly downwards in an attempt to cross the finish line in a low-altitude flight state.
At the end of the video, the Bugatti Veyron reached the finish line with a time of 1.7 seconds, later than the MiG-29 fighter. However, this achievement is enough to make a sports car proud. After all, one is a supersonic fighter, and the flight speed is calculated in Mach.
The other is mid-engined, 4-wheel drive. It's a surprise that it's less than two seconds away.
Therefore, some local tyrants standing in the infield, even including the Prince of Dubai, are inevitably excited to know. How is this supercar sold in front of you and how much does it cost......
"Everyone has already watched the video. Let's talk about the sales methods that everyone is also interested in! This Bugatti Veyron sports car is divided into two versions: the coupé version and the convertible version. There is no limit to sales worldwide, and it is no problem for individuals to buy as many units as they want. Baptiste said to the crowd with the microphone.
However, as soon as his voice fell, he saw those Middle Eastern tyrants and American tycoons standing in the infield. They all tilted their heads, expressing some surprise and disappointment.
For the world's top wealthy people, a sports car with no limit on the number loses its appeal. Because, if you have money, you can buy it, and there is no value and meaning of collecting. This is essentially no different from the cars sold in 4S stores. It's just a little more advanced......
"How much does that Bugatti Veyron cost? Anyway, it's coming, so just buy one and go back." "Some rich people who have come from afar are planning in their hearts. Spending money on sports cars is their basic operation, which can also be called daily.
But just when these top local tyrants in the infield were thinking like this. Baptiste was surprised by their surprise and continued, "This Bugatti sports car, although it is produced in unlimited quantities. But its upfront R&D cost, to be honest, is very expensive. In order to develop this new car, we, Chairman Ma Wei, have invested a total of no less than 300 million US dollars. Therefore, the price of the whole vehicle is 10.4 million US dollars. ”
Bugatti President Baptiste has just made an offer of $10 million. I saw the rich people standing in the audience, and they were stunned for a moment, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
"$10.4 million? A sports car? Is it so expensive? The Ferrari Enzo special next door is only $2.7 million, right? Porsche Carrera GT, 2.55 million. It's 4 times more expensive this time?" A wealthy man from the United States looked at the Bugatti Veyron on the stage with surprised eyes.
10 million US dollars, although he can afford it. But used to buy a car...... It's a bit too big for him. After all, the most expensive sports cars I usually buy are only more than 2 million. A cheap 400,000 can be done, which is more than 20 times more expensive!
"No wonder there is no limit to the quantity, it turns out that this price alone can make 99% of people stop, right?"
"10.4 million US dollars, which is equivalent to almost 90 million yuan! If I grit my teeth and buy it and ship it back to China. Counting about 50% of the customs duties, as well as value-added tax and consumption tax, that is 135 million?" a rich second generation who came to Dubai from China, calculating the price in the dark.
Not to mention the 50% tariff, even the ex-factory price of the Bugatti Veyron is a bit choking for him. After all, his family only gave him more than 50 million, so he didn't embarrass his family and bought the car back.
But now when I listen to the price, it's definitely no drama...... It takes three 50 million to transport the car back to China. His father won't get this money out if he kills him.
