Chapter 588: Revolutionary Layout Structure!

It's not difficult for Li Fanyu to make a car that can overpower Punms in speed now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info If you're really in a hurry, if you're willing to cut meat and use R&D points, you can directly exchange one in the space in minutes.

But according to the rules given by the Guinness side, it is necessary to use RS as the basis for upgrading. With the A4's front-engine platform, this is too restrictive.

What does it feel like to not borrow the NOS system?

It's a bit like the rush to transform a Formula 3 car into a Formula 1 car.

Faced with the question raised by Little Kurbo, Li Fanyu made a mistake;

Boost the power, the cabin space is not enough, the gearbox position is squeezed,

What about the W12 engine, there is not much room for performance improvement, and the power is not enough to support the RS to run at a top speed of more than 450KM/h.

It's kind of a dead end.

Li Fanyu was directly silent.

After thinking about it for a long time, he thought about widening the body of the car, placing the engine horizontally, and also thinking about lengthening the front of the car by 50 centimeters...... But the speechless exceptions were all vetoed by themselves.

If the RS is changed in these ways, he will not dare to open it himself......

So after thinking about it for a while, he asked Courbo Jr. and Mason to deploy manpower and funds to prepare for the work.

I stood in front of the window of the OEM's office, looking at the dusty streetscape of Detroit.

What exactly do you need to do to combine the V16 with the gearbox and put it in the engine compartment of the RS's limited capacity?

What method should be used to make the RS equipped with a V16 engine achieve a balance in the counterweight ratio, which can meet the power performance and take into account the handling performance?

......

His mind was racing rapidly, thinking about various possibilities, and his brows were slowly squeezed into Sichuan characters.

The streets slowly turned from gray to black, and from black to colorful. The scenery outside the window changes from the setting sun to the early lights and then to the silence of the night.

I don't know how long it took for the corners of Li Fanyu's mouth to slowly hook up......

......

When little Kurbo came to the company the next day, he received a call from Li Fanyu and asked him to come to the office immediately. Listening to the slightly tired but excited voice on the other side of the phone, Kurbo trotted all the way over.

Pushing open the door of the office, I saw Li Fanyu, whose hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot, and he had turned his real office into a sea of waste paper.

Carefully picking up a piece of manuscript paper, looking at the messy sketches on it, little Kurbo asked suspiciously, "Foolish, what are you doing?"

Hearing his inquiry, Li Fanyu hurriedly put together the draft, walked to Little Kurbo's side, and pulled him to the desk with a look of excitement.

"Look, here's what I came up with!"

With that, he shoved a dozen drafts into little Courbo's hand.

Looking at Li Fanyu, who was like a Frankenstein, little Kurbo looked through the draft in his hand suspiciously.

Strictly speaking, the draft is divided into two parts.

The first part is the V16 engine, codenamed Kuafu. Although little Kurbo does not have a thorough understanding of Chinese culture, he has also heard of this legend of chasing the sun.

But that's not important.

The important thing is that the engine that is only on the sketch, the square and angular engine, is really charming to look at!

It was a slightly narrow, but not heavy, fuselage, with a black hood like plate armor. Five sets of gears of different sizes in the nose of the fuselage, and 16 thick intake and exhaust pipes distributed on both sides under the fuselage, seem to show the vigorous power of this engine!

Although the sketches are not very elaborate, and it is not known how well this engine will perform. But little Courbo believes that if this engine is built and made public to the world, it will cause a new wave in the appearance of the engine!

After wasting a lot of energy to suppress the shock in his heart, little Courbo opened the second sketch.

As soon as I saw the first sketch, which was the new general layout of the RS, little Courbo's mouth could no longer close!

If the Kuafu engine just now shocked little Courbo, then this part fundamentally subverted his understanding of the layout and structure of the car!

Because according to the design on this sketch, with the new RS layout, the engine and gearbox are not connected at all!

It's not just not connected!

According to Li Fanyu's design, the V16 engine was directly placed longitudinally in the limited engine compartment, and the gearbox was moved to the rear axle, forming a never-before-seen whole with the final drive and differential!

The two assemblies, which should be closely connected, are separated by nearly two meters in this sketch. Between this distance, a propeller shaft is used to solve the connection between the engine and the gearbox.

The layout of this front-engine, rear-gearbox, little Courbo swears to God, has never been seen!

"Foolish, are you sure this is possible?!"

After being stunned for a long time, little Kurbo's eyes widened, and he looked up and asked eagerly.

"Of course! I'll call this arrangement the front and rear separation of the engine and transmission. Actually, there is nothing special about this method, just put the engine in front and use the propeller shaft to make the RS a rear-wheel drive car!

In this way, we were able to overcome the shortcomings of the RS engine compartment and the front-mounted platform. You see, the V16 engine can fit completely with just a slight bulge of the hood. Placing the gearbox in the back, together with the final drive and differential, adds weight to the rear of the car. In this way, the problem of increased engine weight and unbalanced body weight ratio can be solved!"

It's a genius idea!

Xiao Kuerbo, who is proficient in model research and development, immediately realized this after listening to Li Fanyu's simple explanation.

Changing the RS to a layout with separate front and rear of the engine and transmission solves all the problems and troubles that were exposed before. And the power performance and handling performance of the car have been greatly improved!

Although the sketch given by Li Fanyu was very simple, after thinking about it in his heart, little Kurbo knew that this method was theoretically feasible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"You've created a whole new way of laying out the body! That's a feat! Oh my God, you'll be remembered by car history!"

Ha!

Don't say that, the master is very ashamed,

Li Fan smiled foolishly and said nothing.

The contents of the two sketches were actually derived from his memories of the previous plane.

To say that it is a pioneering feat is a bit unreasonable.

But to some extent, it can be justified.

The layout of the front and rear of the engine and transmission is actually nothing, in the time and space before the historical process has not changed, Corvette C6, Mercedes-Benz SLS and other excellent sports cars have been used.

But......

This V16 engine is the Cadillac V16 mounted on the sixteenth that represents Cadillac's top R&D and manufacturing technology in the time and space before the historical process has not changed!

With the front and rear of the engine and transmission layout, the car equipped with the Cadillac V16 is definitely a revolution in power and transmission!

This is a non-negligent feat for an RS modified from a B-class car platform!
