Chapter 287: Mini Cooper Launch
readx;? For the new car launch of Zhengxin Company, the media paid great attention to it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the press conference of the Tiancheng Convention and Exhibition Center, the reporters of the automobile network who were present were a little proud, and they felt that this time they forced Zhengxin to release the new car earlier than in the past, which was completely because of their own excavation and forced results.
Actually, that's not the case at all.
Now that the research and development of the model has been completely straightened out, and the tests are being carried out closely and methodically, even if Wang Rui did not say anything, it is time to expose a wave.
What do you think road tests and tests are for? Testing is only one aspect, if car companies really don't want the outside world to see the models under development, then there are more ways to keep secrets. To be honest, adding camouflage to the body can achieve a camouflage effect?
It's just an appetite.
Li Fanyu usually does not attend such meetings; there are too many questions and he is too tired to talk about. But because Anning is busy with the introduction of equipment in the experimental center these days, he appeared in front of the public again after the A4 to introduce his new car to the outside world.
At 7:30 p.m., after the host warmed up and emphasized the interview rules again, Li Fanyu appeared on the stage wearing a black suit and a white shirt.
The lights of the whole venue were extinguished with his entry and the applause of the audience, leaving only the oversized searchlight in the center of the venue, which moved slowly with his footsteps. On the oversized screen at the back of the stage, the outline of a car is represented in black and white, and under the outline, a large question mark is marked.
The light hit his shirt, reflecting the whole person as if he had just come out of a fairyland, and the effect was really coquettish.
However, Sao Bao has to pay a price, and Li Fanyu can't see anything but under his feet at this moment.
"What the hell is this light! The gaffer has canceled the lunch box at night!"
Li Fanyu waved his hand and covered his eyes. Only then did he see the road ahead, and he came to the stage step by step.
took the microphone handed over by the host, and the thing also knocked maliciously, making a piercing beep.
"Ahem, thank you for being here. ”
The audience burst into applause.
"Today, on behalf of Zhengxin Automobile Co., Ltd., I will introduce to you a model that we are developing, or about to roll off the assembly line. ”
With that, he raised his arm. With this action, n more photos instantly appeared on the electronic screen behind him.
These photos are either beautiful scenic spots, or all kinds of beautiful women and handsome men, or the fashion industry, and even many wonderful moments that seem to be ordinary people.
These images of different sizes, but all eye-catching, fill the entire screen, and then shrink very quickly. It wasn't until it shrunk to the size of a pixel that it slowly filled in the outline of the car.
The pale outline is immediately rendered by the pixels, and it comes to life.
Slowly, a car with a strip racing livery appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing that everyone had been completely attracted by the car on the screen, revealing a look of sigh or fascination, Li Fan foolishly hooked the corners of his mouth.
Facing the sporadic flashing lights in the audience, he said, "It's designed for fashionistas, combining practicality and trend - mini cooper!"
"Wow! It's really the same as the news we dug up! This month is almost desperate to double!"
In the audience, Wang Shasha, a beautiful reporter of automobiles, shook her colleagues excitedly. The stubble man who was taking photos of the scene was speechless for a while.
Because he has repeatedly presided over the cooperation with Zhengxin, Wang Dazui has been promoted to editor-in-chief. Originally, there was no need to come in person at this kind of press conference to his level, but as Li Fanyu's old brother, the new car release must be to be celebrated.
So he was sitting in the first row at this time, clapping hard.
Knowing that the noise in the audience had settled, Li Fanyu focused on introducing the design concept and performance of the car.
There is no way, holding a press conference before the product is offline, in fact, it is just to expose and attract attention. The data is sketchy, and some need to be fine-tuned even after later testing work.
Originally, for the mini cooper, Li Fanyu knew a lot about its performance even if he didn't get the test data of the real car.
But in fact, in addition to the model and general layout, some other things in this research and development are very different from the mini that was hailed as "the greatest model of the twentieth century" in the previous time and space.
For example, the engine. The original MINI uses a 1.6-liter N13B16A BMW engine, but because the MINI is an adopted child, it can't compare with its own son 1 Series in tuning. And the power of this 1.6L turbocharged engine has also been criticized, and its acceleration of more than eight seconds to 100 kilometers can only be described as so-so.
Because of the special body structure, the laboratory's original idea of installing the version could not be realized, so it had to settle for the next best thing and put the 1.8T into the mini engine compartment.
Although the power increase is not large, if the 1.8T ZGX888 is tuned and equipped with a body with an estimated curb weight of only 1100kg, the power can be upgraded by a notch.
I can't guarantee more, it's still reliable to accelerate to 100 kilometers in nearly six seconds.
There are many changes like this, but because of the unique structure of the mini, Li Fan Yudao doesn't think that the performance will be too bad after being improved by the partners in the laboratory, but as the president of the company, he must always be in charge of speaking, so he naturally can't say these parameters in too much detail.
Otherwise, when the car is mass-produced, if the that is blown out today is different from the actual situation, it will be turned out and slapped in the face.
But nothing else can be blown up, at least one point, he still feels the need to write about it.
That's... Under the leadership of Academician Han Yiming, the suspension system developed by overcoming three major difficulties!
A mechanics expert from Tsinghua University, a materials science expert from Peking University, and a structural expert from Harbin Institute of Technology are all Han Lao's hands in this project!
It was under such a crazy lineup that the first patent in the true sense of the word was born.
This suspension system uses connecting rods and castings to rely on each other, which ensures the driving stability of the vehicle to the greatest extent and enhances the adhesion between the tires and the ground.
After the trial production of the suspension assembly that has been modified three times, it is time to enter the test. Looking at the suspension system that calmly rests on the rubble crater and can keep the body stable at all times, Han Laotong's heart rose and gave this suspension system a unique name - caterpillar!
After testing, this set of suspension is definitely not too much to do compared to the MacPherson suspension commonly used in the market today.
Therefore, for the "caterpillar suspension", Li Fanyu took up a lot of space at the press conference to introduce and Amway.
This thing is selfish.
Since the course of automotive history has been disrupted, not only have many models and brands changed, but even some technologies have also been distorted.
The MacPherson hanging, which had long since passed the time and space before and had a patent period, is still in the prime of life, and there are still a full ten years before the patent expires!
Today's car companies either use the old-fashioned technology that has passed the patent period, such as the pillar type and fork type, or spend money to introduce technology and endure huge patent use fees.
Now that I have a technology that can be replaced, of course, I have to show off my muscles, and by the way, I want to explain to the outside world that I can export the technology haha!
As he spoke about the technical differences between the caterpillar and MacPherson suspensions, a man sitting in the audience sneered and stood up.
"Mr. Li Fanyu, may I ask a model like the mini that has not yet rolled off the assembly line and has not been tested by the market and races, why do you say that his suspension performance will be higher than that of the MacPherson suspension system?"
The man's Chinese was very stiff, and his voice was surprisingly loud.
After seeing this person's face clearly, the reporters present suddenly became excited.
I'm tired! Chevrolet's people are coming to smash the field!! (To be continued.) )
