Little Kurt followed Li Fanyu's train of thought, and after some hydrochloric acid, he once again straightened out the power layout. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Looking at the pile of thick data on the desk, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this layout was simply a stroke of genius and a gift from heaven!

With this excitement, he immediately used Li Fanyu's sketch as a blueprint and led the R&D engineers to immediately devote themselves to research and development.

Both the engine and the layout needed to be worked on, so Courbo Jr. split the team of engineers into two groups.

The part of the engine led the team by himself, and the part of the body layout, transmission structure and rear-mounted transmission differential reducer was handed over to the initiator of the concept, Li Fanyu, who is familiar with the road.

Li Fanyu's sketch to Coulbo Jr. has clearly delineated the structure and parameters of the Cadillac V16, codenamed "Kuafu".

Therefore, the R&D work of the first team is quite smooth, and the R&D process of the V16 is progressing day by day by taking advantage of Detroit's perfect R&D supporting industries.

And Li Fanyu's side is not slow!

It took less than a week to use the calculation computer to implement the proportions and weight ratios of the body. After some simulations using the database, the team was able to delineate the dimensions of the chassis at a very fast pace.

The rear-mounted version of the seven-speed dual-clutch structure was also completed by Li Fanyu, who was extremely clear in his thinking and frightening in physical perversion, in a week.

Since then, the two teams have been quickly connected. The initial prototype of the Kwafu V16 was matched with the new RS chassis that had been facelifted. From the first test, the new design was quite humane;

In order to make the trial version of the V16 engine faster, it has been ambiguous in many links. Some processes were not strictly followed by Li Fanyu's requirements.

But even so, at the time of the first test, a set of awesome data was still exposed!

This engine, which was made purely for testing, has a maximum horsepower of 730KW! Nearly 1,000 horsepower! The power data seems to be nothing at first glance, but the torque of 1330NM can be described as frenzied!

Seeing that the overall operation of the engine was no problem and the structure was passable, Li Fanyu immediately asked Little Kurbo to start trial production of one. And let the country send an electronic turbocharger, transplanted to the carefully made Kwafu V16!

In this way, the data of this engine is so strong that there are no friends.

With 1015KW of power, 1655Nm of torque, and 14 liters of displacement, it has steadily surpassed the Aventador V16 on Punms!

However, when the engine was combined with a prototype chassis and bench tests were carried out to obtain various data on the body of the all-new RS,

Little Courbo's admiration for his young boss is like a surging river......

strong

It's just not too strong!

In the previous opinion of Courbo, the layout structure of the RS's new engine gearbox is just a solution design made by Li Fanyu in order to overcome the V16 engine taking up too much engine compartment space, and then for the counterweight.

But it turned out that this new layout design was far more outstanding than he had imagined!

Where does it stand out?

Here, the problem of an axle-to-load ratio is involved.

The so-called axle-to-load ratio is the ratio of the front and rear axles to share the weight of the vehicle. Generally speaking, a 50:50 ratio of front and rear axle loads is the best, and this axle load distribution ratio is conducive to uniform tire wear, ensuring that the car has good cornering characteristics and driving stability.

However, it is the engine arrangement that plays an important role in balancing the axle load distribution.

The power layout of the car can be roughly divided into three types - front, middle and rear.

Not to mention the front-engine, which is the most common arrangement and is used by the vast majority of vehicles on the market.

In the case of front-mounted engines, it is generally necessary to reduce the axle load on the front axle.

The front engine is divided into two types: transverse arrangement and longitudinal arrangement, and most models have adopted transverse engines in order to improve the utilization rate of the engine compartment and increase the driving space.

In addition, the transverse engine also facilitates the arrangement of the transmission and simplifies the structure of the final reducer. But it's the same – transverse engines are very unfavorable for reducing the axle load on the front axle.

Therefore, in order to achieve a reasonable axle load distribution, longitudinal engines are very necessary.

This has been reflected in the new layout of the RS, which is placed in the engine compartment in a longitudinal way.

However, conventional front-longitudinal engines and rear-wheel drive are difficult to achieve a perfect axle-load ratio.

Therefore, some models that want to make achievements in performance and handling have chosen the layout of front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive, choosing a longitudinal engine, and then matching rear-wheel drive, and the axle load distribution is one step closer to perfection.

Rear-wheel drive means putting the final drive and differential in the back, both of which are heavier guys!

There are many models with front longitudinal engines and rear-wheel drive, but I don't see how ideal their axle loads are.

Why?

There is only one truth, because these efforts are still difficult to achieve the requirements of the ideal distribution!

Therefore, the chicken shooter came up with a solution - the rear engine, which is the legendary rear rear wheel drive.

But the problem came again, which in turn would overload the rear axle.

So the witty chicken shooters came up with another idea - a mid-engine and a rear mid-engine.

In this way, the axle-to-load ratio is balanced. Therefore, sports cars with high performance generally adopt this layout, such as Punms.

However, Li Fanyu used the simple and crude method of the rear transmission to make the axle-to-load ratio of the RS reach a perfect 50:50!

In fact, just over two weeks ago, OEM R&D engineers complained that this was crazy when they saw the engine in front and moved the transmission to the back, and the driver and occupants were sandwiched between the engine and transmission

You can see for yourself that the design is put into practice step by step, along with the transmission, final drive and differential placed on the rear axle according to a very scientific layout.

watched Li Fanyu stubbornly shorten the length of the front overhang, and watched the length of the front engine compartment be lengthened, so that the center of gravity of the engine fell behind the front axle......

Every step of the way is a big step towards perfection for RS.

All these things are done, and the sports car with the most powerful power in the world and the perfect axle load distribution is born!

At this time, the RS in front of everyone's eyes is already a SuperCar that is enough for them to look up to!
