Chapter 778: The product line of the sports car is a little thinner!

In order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the competition, Le Mans' publicity team held a celebratory party. The Zhengxin team of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is like a mascot, accepting the championship courtesy that should have been there in the crowd, but it was particularly eager.

After a day of carnival, Li Fanyu officially confirmed at the press conference as the owner of the team, in order to reflect the group's strength and the performance of its sports car vehicles, Zhengxin Performance Branch, a subsidiary of Zhengxin Group, will expand the budget of Zhengxin Fleet. Based on the current Zhengxin team, it participates in the series of events at Le Mans, the WEC World Endurance Championship.

This news is really unexpected, after all, Le Mans is once a year. But WEC is a series, and if a company like Zhengxin wants to expand its influence in the racing world, it can't just rely on the annual Le Mans.

But the news released by Li Fanyu really excited the audience who paid attention to Le Mans!

Because the 24 Hours of Le Mans is itself a part of the WEC World Endurance Championship! In addition to Le Mans, such as Hokkaido in Japan and Nürburgring in Germany, they have all set up stations!

By participating in this series, Zhengxin means that he can see this legendary team for most of the year!

In the frenzy of the audience, Li Fanyu left Le Mans with the Zhengxin convoy and returned to Paris.

After nearly six months of intense filming, "Hurricane Rescue" has also been completed. But in order to wait for Li Fanyu to participate in Le Mans, neither Ma Rao nor Zhou Qingyu left Paris.

After everyone arrived in Paris, Ma Rao Zhou quietly joined everyone with the program team that had just been completed, and changed a celebration banquet for the Zhengxin team.

On the fourth day after the end of the game, Li Fanyu took Wang Rui, Cheng Ke and others back to China.

The news that Zhengxin participated in the 24 hours of Le Mans and won the championship has also spread in China. To be the first team to be fully Chinese-funded and 100% Chinese-owned, to be able to participate in Le Mans and win the championship is definitely something that can make Chinese people who follow motorsport crazy.

So after Li Fanyu returned to China, he didn't even get out of the airport, and was surrounded by fans and reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Fan is good!"

"It's awesome for me! Business is doing well, and it's a good car!"

"Li Dong! Li Dong, may I ask what preparations Zhengxin made to win the prototype championship of this year's Le Mans?"

"Li Dong, you have played an incredible strength in this Le Mans race, and at the press conference after the race, you also made it clear that you will make up the scale of Zhengxin Racing Team and participate in WEC. Will you also participate in the WEC as a driver?"

Stunned by various voice recorders and microphones, Li Fanyu could only wave his hand and said: "Thank you, friends! Sorry friends! We have been on the plane for more than ten hours, and now we just want to take a good rest." As for the questions you raised, I have already been invited to an interview by CCTV Sports Channel when I was in France, and I will answer them all then, okay?"

In the face of Li Fanyu's request, everyone showed great understanding.

Under the maintenance of the airport staff and the personnel of the newly established Zhengxin Group's Beijing office, Li Fanyu led everyone to divide the crowd and walked out of the airport quickly while waving.

Xincheng Hotel, the special reception of Zhengxin Beijing Office.

In the most luxurious suite, Li Fanyu, who had washed up, finally relaxed. But he knew it was only temporary.

Winning the 20 Hours of Le Mans is a huge asset for the group.

It is undoubtedly an opportunity!

So far, there is no shortage of sports cars.

In fact, the first model officially launched by Zhengxin on the market, the X-power, is an out-and-out track model. However, in order to gain a larger market share in the group's past development, most of the business focus has been on the sedan and later SUV markets.

The current sports cars, except for the TT and the mini, which can only be said to be entry-level coupes. For example, the X-power, Audi RS, and Audi RS longbow are all in a relatively fragmented state, and they have not really become a series.

Among them, X-power is also particularly free from the product series of Zhengxin, hanging the brand of X-car, which has actually existed in name only!

The victory at Le Mans laid the foundation for a sports car for the group.

What is the nature of Le Mans?

It was a race that combined the technical requirements of a formula car with the durability of a rally car!

It can be said that the cars participating in Le Mans must not only have enough power, downforce and cornering speed, but also have excellent performance stability, durability and economy.

What is Le Mans colloquially called in the United States?

Grand –Prix- of- Endurance- and- Efficiency。

Literally translated, it means a durable and economical Grand Prix!

The 24-hour race is a long time, and all kinds of unexpected situations can happen at any time, so there is no chance of winning by making fewer pit stops and persevering until the end. These labels have been vividly displayed on this session of the Zhengxin Jinya R.

For the most part, the major automakers are good at creating some very fast race cars, but it's hard to balance it with durability.

However, durability may not be as technical as speed, and cars that can survive and rank in such an event, especially prototypes,

The combination of speed, performance, durability and economy is ideal for scaling up into a mass-produced supercar.

And the car factory that made such a prototype car, it is not an exaggeration to say, is definitely standing in the first echelon of the human automobile industry.

Zhengxin is a car company that has only been established for two years, so when the sports cars that came out before came off the assembly line, they were often accompanied by speculation from the outside world and a large number of consumers did not buy it.

Several of the sports cars of Zhengxin can be called successful, but the performance of these cars in the market is ridiculous.

Those who love are not like words, and those who dislike are disgusted to death.

Previously, the RU-12 of Rehfast could still have good sales even if its performance was completely defeated by X-power. That incident touched Li Fanyu a lot.

A sports car, especially a supercar, is something where the added value can outweigh the value of the product.

Because no matter how awesome your car company is, as long as you don't create a precedent in a certain field, if you want to establish a position in the sports car or even supercar market, you need history and honor.

And Zhengxin Racing Team has won the championship of this Le Mans, which is undoubtedly qualified for this!

The opportunity has been grasped by Li Fanyu, if he doesn't magnify it to achieve the greatest effect, how can it be Li Fanyu?

After returning home, there are a lot of things waiting for him to do.

Far from it, at least it was developed by the performance branch before, and this time Le Mans's hero Jin Ya R had to take advantage of the popularity of Le Mans to go off the assembly line immediately. And "Hurricane Rescue", which was previously planted for Zhengxin Land Rover Range Rover and A8, Land Patrol, Q5 and other models, will also be released soon.

With these two things alone, Li Fan is busy.

What's more, winning the LMP1 class championship at Le Mans also gave him a mind that he didn't dare to think about before.

On the thick and soft leather sofa, Li Fanyu crossed his fingers together.

After going through all the current models of Zhengxin in his mind, he sighed softly;

"RS, Longbow, X-power...... Even with the addition of Jinya R, the product line of sports cars still seems to be a little thinner!"
