Chapter 587: Fight for Honor and Money!

If Mason hadn't called to ask Li Fanyu if he wanted to defend his rights against Hennessey's announcement, Li Fanyu wouldn't have known that he had been labeled a "thief"!

So after seeing the announcement on Hennessey's official website, he immediately canceled his plan to return to China. The www.biquge.info went straight to the OEM factory in Detroit and called Mason and Coulbo Jr. together.

"Boss, you're saying you want to start upgrading the RS right away?"

"That's right!" Li Fanyu waved his fist fiercely, "Originally, I didn't plan to take this matter seriously, but after reading that announcement, I changed my mind! Since Guinness has given a month, then we still have hope to fight for the honor back!"

Seeing Li Fanyu's resolute face, Mason slapped him fiercely: "Boss, if RS can run at top speed without using the NOS nitrogen oxygen system, then our listing preparations will not be affected at all!"

"Why do you say that?"

In the face of Li Fanyu's question, Mason spread his hands: "Boss, don't consider grievances, just talk about interests!" For the title of the king of speed, RS has competed twice with Hennessey, the most well-known tuning factory in the United States. Do you know how much of a topic this has been?

You know, Hennessey's tuning products represent the ultimate performance in the U.S. market. We're going to run a high-performance sports car, and what better way to do it than to step on Hennessey?!

And if we can win this war in one month, then beating Hennessey three times with the RS is a huge boost to our brand awareness among sports car fans, and fans will go crazy!

I'm willing to bet that if we had defended our honor and defended our title as the king of speed with the RS without the NOS system, the RS would have taken the North American market by storm without even making a splash!"

Li Fanyu didn't think about this, at this time, he didn't think too much about the interests in his heart, he was just pricked by Hennessey's remarks and gambled.

But listening to Mason, it feels good.

And that's exactly what happened.

As long as RS retains the world record without relying on the NOS system, the original listing plan will not need to be changed at all. And as Mason said, stepping on Hennessey is undoubtedly the best publicity for RS.

Thinking of this, he nodded, and just wanted Mason to immediately allocate R&D funds and upgrade the RS again, when he saw the contemplation on the face of little Kurbo on the side.

Only then did Li Fanyu notice that little Kurbo didn't seem to have spoken since just now.

"Do you have any questions, Kurbo?"

Hearing Li Fanyu's call, little Kurbo took the hand on his chin down, "Ah, oh." For the sake of production, I have been studying the RS for a long time. Boss, if we cancel the NOS system and want the RS to run at speeds above 450Km/h, then ...... It's not easy......"

For this, how could Li Fanyu not know.

"Tell me what you think?"

"Well, IMHO, the internal layout of the RS is too poorly based. It's a miracle that you and your team have been able to elevate this car's performance to this extent. As for further enhancements, a more powerful engine could be used, such as the V16 used on the Pumns.

But...... However, the weight of the V16 is about 300KG, and the volume is too large. You can see if you look at the general layout of Punms, in order to fit this big guy, it adopts a mid-mounted layout. However, the RS is a model built on a front-facing platform, and if the V16 is forcibly implanted on the RS......

Then you can only raise the front end of the hood and lengthen the front end to make it look like a full Pinocchio, and then the whole line of the car will become very weird. Wind resistance...... It is also possible to reach a very disappointing coefficient. ”

For the problem that little Kurbo said, Li Fanyu has a solution!

The V16 engine is actually two V8s connected side by side. The same V-style layout, the way to combine the two V8s together, is to connect them vertically......

Therefore, the arrangement of the V-shaped 16 cylinders makes the whole engine look like a rectangular rubber.

The prototype of the Punms, the RF-Aventado, uses the mid-rear-wheel drive layout that is typical of supercars. The second row of seats was completely eliminated and used to load the engine. So their V16 engine is super big,

This is undoubtedly a big challenge for the RS's limited cabin layout.

When he made up his mind to upgrade the RS again, Li Fanyu had already thought about the power problem.

The W12 engine on the A8 has allowed Li Fanyu and Wang Rui and others to squeeze out the extreme performance. If you go any further, you have to sacrifice the durability of the engine.

Therefore, on the plane when he came, Li Fanyu had already thought of a solution to the engine; in the database of the system space, there was a model equipped with a relatively small engine, but the performance was not inferior to that of the AventadorV16!

Hearing little Courbo ask this question, he casually picked up a pen and paper on his desk. It only takes a few moments to create a contour with a very mechanical beauty.

And on top of this outline, the approximate dimensions and data are indicated.

"Kurbo, what do you think of the size of this engine?"

Little Kurbo frowned and picked up the sketch, and looked at it carefully for a long time before he wondered: "Boss, can the V16 engine achieve this size? Which company produces it? Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Hearing this question, Li Fan smiled foolishly.

"This is an engine developed by Zhengxin, but has not yet been put into production. But if I need to, I can make it quickly, so you don't have to think about it. ”

Little Kurbo was deeply surprised by this, his boss and his magical group were really getting more and more incomprehensible.

Zhengxin has only been established for more than a year, but it already has the ZGX series, L4V6V10W12 four engines, and a ZGX diesel engine equipped on the F150 and Fighter.

This kind of R&D strength can no longer be described as terrifying!

The guest looked at Li Fanyu's inquiring gaze, he didn't have time to think about these questions, he thought about it and said: "The volume of the hole punching machine I just said is a problem, if you can really make this kind of exquisite V16, then we still need to solve another problem.

The second difficulty is in the way the RS is laid out.

THE W12 ENGINE ON THE RS WEIGHS ABOUT 240KG, WHICH IS A DISRUPTED WEIGHT RATIO FOR THE RS, SO YOU ADDED THE NOS SYSTEM, RIGHT?"

Seeing Li Fanyu nodded, little Kurbo continued: "The weight of your V16 engine is 260KG! If this larger and heavier engine is implanted into the front of the RS, then without changing the layout, with all due respect, boss, the things we make turn in high-speed conditions, and the weight of the front of the car will make the car rush to the side of the road.

Of course, it's good not to be able to turn.

Have you ever thought about it, this V16 engine is very long after all, and if you put this into the RS, the space in the entire engine compartment will be tight.

I'll just ask you a question, with this big and delicate guy placed in the RS longitudinally, where should the gearbox be arranged?"

Li Fanyu was stunned for a moment, then patted his head,

Premature life!

When I came, I only thought about motivation, and this ...... I missed it!
