289. Buy it (monthly pass 37+)
"Vixen?" Li Du asked rhetorically, "I think it's a beast of prey." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Hans nodded, "Of course, you can hear it from its name, Hellcat, man, this is Dodge's housekeeper!"
If the best people in the world are Germans, then the Americans are the best at playing with cars.
The best car building technology is in Germany, but when it comes to real car culture, it has to look at the United States, which can be said to be the only one in this regard.
As the first country to popularize family cars, the car culture of the United States also has its own distinctive characteristics, and the strong and martial arts and enthusiasm are the souls that Americans inject into the car culture.
And the most representative model is naturally the American muscle car.
However, the muscle car is a bit of a chicken rib, everyone likes it, but most people can't afford it, its tonnage is too heavy, the displacement is too large, the power is too high, the fuel consumption is too much, and the practicality is poor.
Therefore, with the passage of time, in the trend of the times, muscles began to evolve and change slowly, and many models began to adopt turbocharged engines with smaller displacements to reduce the price and cost of the user's car.
The Dodge Challenger is one of the most classic American muscle cars, and it is the SRT Hellcat that Li Du has his eye on in this car.
"Similar to other U.S. car lines, the Challenger has a dizzying variety of models, and the Hellcat is the most exciting one. ”
"It's just a Hellcat, but it's also divided into four series, the difference is in the engine, the first series is powered by a 3.6L, 305hp Pentastar V6 naturally aspirated engine. ”
Carlos introduced and pointed to the side, "This car is the first series of Hellcats, how is it, isn't it domineering?"
Li Du stroked the body and asked, "What about the other series?"
"The other three series, which are the 5.7L, 375 hp HEMI naturally aspirated V8 engine, the 6.4L, 485 hp HEMI naturally aspirated V8 engine, and the Super Hellcat, which is equipped with a 6.2LAHMI supercharged V8 engine, do you know how much horsepower? 717 horsepower!"
Hans said excitedly: "Choose the fourth series, super muscle car, 717 horsepower super muscle car!"
More horsepower means fastness, and Li Du didn't know how much horsepower the car had on the F1 track, but the 717 horsepower was definitely the most powerful engine he had ever seen.
This made him a little excited, but he also felt hesitant, the horsepower of the 717 was too great, and it was easy to be dangerous.
Next to Carlos, he continued to introduce the series of cars: "The word Hellcat comes from a carrier-based fighter F6F of the United States Navy during World War II, because the United States was involved in the early days of World War II, and the American carrier-based aircraft F4F Wildcat did not have an advantage over the Japanese Zero......"
"As an improved model of the Wildcat, the Hellcat made great achievements in the middle and late stages of World War II, and the name Hellcat became a nickname for power and power in the United States, and the flagship model of the Dodge Challenger borrowed the name of this fighter jet to publicize the brutal power ...... of this muscle car."
"Think about it, man, it has a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine, it has a maximum power of 717 hp, it has a terrifying torque of 881 Nm, do you know how long it takes to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h? 3.8 seconds!"
"Turn off the ESP, this guy can burn tires and drift casually, it's not a pony, it's not a wildcat, it's a hellcat, I bet, it's the strongest muscle car in America!"
"The Hellcat belongs to the Dodge Challenger, but not all Challengers can be called Hellcat, and a man should have such a car!"
Hearing this, Li Du sighed: "I admit, man, I was moved by what you said, so let's go and see this car." ”
"The ultimate Hellcat with 717 horsepower?"
"Yes!"
This car is very famous, but it burns a lot of oil, and it is not very marketable in Phoenix, after all, the economy is now in a downturn, unless it is a rich second generation, few people can play this muscle car.
The car dealership also has only one Ultimate Hellcat, which is placed in the heart of the muscle car showcase, and the pitch-black body is lit up around it to make it look domineering.
"The length of the car is 5020 mm, the width is 1900, the height is 1450, and the wheelbase reaches a staggering 2946. In terms of length and wheelbase, even off-road vehicles have to be shy away!"
Carlos took out a very delicate storage bag as he introduced, and the bag opened to reveal a manual introducing the car.
Li Du opened the car door and sat in, the car seat was comfortable leather wrapped in memory foam, and there was a layer of suede on the outside, and the texture was invincible.
He put his hands on the steering wheel, then noticed that the car had two keys and asked, "How come there are two keys?"
Hans laughed, "Hellcat just has two keys, use the red key to light, it has a maximum horsepower of 500, but if you twist the black key, man, then you really open the gates of hell!"
"The black key starts 700 horsepower?" he asked.
Carlos nodded, "Yes, but I think 500 horsepower is enough for use unless you want to play big, right?"
After listening to the introduction, Li Du began to test the car.
There was a test site behind the dealership, and Hans scrambled to test it, saying, "This car is too dangerous, Lee, let me try it, you can see it first." ”
Li Du squinted at him and said, "Since the car is very dangerous, it is better for us not to buy it." ”
Hans immediately smiled and said, "Buy, buy, buy, you come to test the car, I'll take a look." ”
Li Du nodded with satisfaction, he sat in and drove to the starting point, someone came over and said: "Don't let the speed of the car exceed 100 kilometers per hour, once the driver causes damage, the driver has to bear the consequences, OK?"
“OK!”
“GO!”
This car is an automatic transmission, Li Du didn't care about it after hanging up the gear, as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the pointers of the multiple dashboards in front of him began to rotate wildly, and the car 'whoosh' rushed out!
It just ran out, it didn't run out, Li Du only felt a strong push back feeling, and the car had rushed out.
Subconsciously, he activated the ability to slow down time, so that he finally reacted, and then controlled the car and ran freely.
A speed of 100 kilometers per hour is pediatric for this car, it runs fast and calm, and the sound of the engine is also crisp and high-pitched.
When the other test riders saw the car he was driving, they gave way to the runway and applauded, and some took out their cameras to take pictures.
Li Du was very satisfied with this return rate, and after driving around twice, he got out of the car and said, "Okay, just buy this car." ”
