"Of course. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ye Kai nodded and said. "But at least not yet."

"Why?" Nande asked, puzzled. "A1 is a mini car, A2 is a small and medium-sized micro car, A3 is a compact car, and A4 is a medium-sized car, just enough to form a series!"

Ye Kai shook his head with a wry smile, and found that he really couldn't explain it to Nande for a while, because tracing the history of A2, it would be difficult to piece together a complete model system, and the time span was very long, but not only were there few models, but each period of history was also so short a few years.

The NSU brand of the previous life officially disappeared from history in 74 years, and the Aodi 50 that continued from the NSU did not exist for a long time, only four years, and then Aodi has been working hard in the middle and high-end car series, until the emergence of the AI2 concept car of Aodi, between the launch of the all-aluminum alloy body of Aodi A8 at that time, the all-aluminum alloy frame and body have become another high-tech synonym, and the dispute between the two car factories of Aodi and Honda over who is the all-aluminum alloy body has crossed the level of the car factory. But in the end, the balance of public opinion was still tilted in favor of Honda. Aodi had no choice but to launch the A2 model, which was based on the research of the Al2 and completely adhered to the appearance and advanced technology of the Al2 concept car.

The reason why it is called A2 is not fundamentally related to the A1 that appeared later, but because it is the second model with an all-aluminum alloy body, and the first is of course their well-deserved A8 model.

The A2 adopts the Aodi all-aluminum space frame body (ASF), which is the world's first mass-produced all-aluminum body sedan. Thanks to the ASF space structure, the A2's aluminium body is lighter than a conventional steel body, weighing 895 kg, which is 150 kg less than the usual weight of a car of this size. Because of its lightweight body, the A2 also consumes less fuel than other cars with similar performance.

Although the A2 is 3.82 meters long, 1.67 meters wide and 1.55 meters high, it does not reduce the occupant space, and it is an extremely spacious sedan with a very spacious interior. Due to the optimal use of interior space, the "floor space concept" is used, i.e. the rear seat has a lower foot pit than the front seat, thus creating more rear seating space so that the occupant can take the most suitable position. The rear seats of the A2 can be folded separately or in one piece, and can also be moved as a whole, which makes it easy to carry bulky luggage.

However, it is such an excellent performance of the A2 model, the market response has been surprisingly cold, the production of 5 years of sales of only more than 170,000 units, the last resort Aodi can only stop production, after which Aodi has not had a small car project.

This situation continued until 2010, when the A1 launched by Aodit was successful in the market, and Aodit began to restart the research and development of A2.

"As you know, the A2 is a small and medium-sized car, and it is not very different from the A1 that we are about to develop." After thinking clearly about the twists and turns of Aodi A2 in his previous life, Ye Kai also thought of a way to explain. "Before our A1 did not gain the recognition of the owners in the market and establish the reputation of Aodi in the mini car system, the bold launch of the A2 model will not only confuse the owner's perception of our car series, but also not conducive to the A1 competition in the market, because the A2, which is not much different from it, will make it difficult for the owner to choose to a certain extent."

"Boss, you have a point." Nande thought about it and felt that what Ye Kai said was still very reasonable, starting to develop A2 now would not only cost manpower and material resources, but also have an impact on A1, and it would not be too late to launch it after A1's reputation began. "Since the A2 can't be developed for the time being because it is easy to cause confusion with the A1, then the A3, as a compact model, should not have any problems in developing it now, right?"

"What does it mean that there is no problem, the problem is great." Ye Kai began to regret why he had to answer Nande's question, because now was obviously not the time to develop the A3.

The first generation of A3 was born in the previous life of 96 years, 4 years later for a facelift, is the entry-level model of the Aodi company at that time, using the Volkswagen A4 platform, because it is based on the fourth generation of Golf for research and development, the first generation of A3 in the Aodi car series at that time rarely used the transverse engine placement.

Due to the transverse engine, some of the engines provided by the A3 were the same as those of some Volkswagen models at the time, so the drive mode was divided into two forms: front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.

The second-generation A3 was released in '03 and used the Volkswagen A5 platform, which is still based on the Golf of the same platform. However, the engines specially developed by Aodi are all placed, and the Volkswagen engines are not used.

At the same time, in the third year after the release of A3, the Aodi S series added a new Ding---- Aodi S3. The S3 is a major overhaul of the A3, including power, suspension, braking, exterior and interior, and is equipped with an inline 4-cylinder engine and the same all-wheel drive system as the A3. Therefore, just like other models in the S series, the S3 is also a performance car on the A3, a new series of Aodit.

When it comes to Aodi's S series models, we have to explain the word Sport that S stands for, Sport means sport, representing the Aodi family performance model series.

The originator of the S series can be traced back to the last rally car S1 model released in 85 years, and in the following days, with the continuous research and development of Aodit innovative technology, in 91 years, the first S2Coupe model used on ordinary roads was officially about to come out. Subsequently, the S3, S5, S6 and S8 have all stepped one after another, which has also contributed to the growing lineup of the Audi S high-performance series.

The famous quattro full-time four-wheel drive system, installed on the S series models, can greatly improve the grip of the vehicle, and can still ensure the stability of the vehicle when cornering and accelerating during intense driving. The system automatically distributes torque between the front and rear axles and transfers power to the other wheels in the event of a wheel slippage, ensuring power and handling in all road conditions.

According to the development of the historical trajectory of the previous life, now is obviously not the best time to develop the A3 model, because the A3 is based on the platform of the third generation of the Golf, and now the first generation of the Golf is still in production, Ye Kai can wait until the streamlined design begins to popularize, after the mid-80s, the third generation of the Golf shape A3 will be launched.

But how to explain it now? Ye Kai's high-speed brain instantly thought of a way. "We can't develop the A3 for the time being, because we have to focus on the development of the A1, A4 and A6, and after the success of our three models in the market, I will urge you to develop them as soon as possible without you reminding them."
