After blessing his Ye Kai and taking a short rest, Ye Kai continued to start his great career of innovation in plagiarism------ designing his own C-class car ---- C4 series. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The prototype of the C4 series will be based on Toyota's flagship model ---- the C-segment.

Born in 1955, the crown has undergone more than half a century of evolution and development, and has a high recognition in the hearts of car fans around the world.

Tracing the history of the crown is like reading the history of the development of the Fuso series of automobiles, not just because it is deeply rooted in the hearts of car fans, nor because of its superb mechanical performance. Rather, it is because, from the first generation in 1955 until the fourteenth generation it was launched in Fuso, almost every facelift and upgrade has raised the aesthetic benchmark of the car.

In the early 50s of the 20th century, in order to better meet the growing demand for corporate cars in Fuso, Toyota Motor Corporation began to develop the Crown sedan for business people, preparing to replace the previous RH model.

However, at the time, Toyota was not sure whether the newly designed Crown would be accepted by the market, so it also launched a slightly conservative Master model at the same time, mainly for the taxi market, but later due to the more popular Crown, Toyota discontinued the Master and changed its factory to produce the Crown.

Therefore, at that time, when Fuso was still in need of foreign assistance to build automobiles, Toyota had already used its own technology to create the first generation of "Crown". The successful completion of the challenge of "50,000 kilometers from London to Tokyo" is also a testament to the durability of the first generation.

Its trustworthy and outstanding performance is widely disseminated at home and abroad. The price of the first generation was 1,014,860 yen, which was about 12.5 times the average annual income of the people at the time. The design of the side door for easy boarding and boarding was well received in the taxi industry, and the first generation of the Crown became the first choice for taxi drivers across the country.

The size of the first-generation crown is only equivalent to that of the later Vios, and its length, width and height are 4.2m× 1.9m× 1.5m, and the wheelbase is 2.5m. This boat-shaped body design, in addition to being small, looks a bit cute at the front of the car, in addition to being small.

However, the somewhat cute front of the car does give people a very unatmospheric and undignified feeling for the male-dominated car market. As a result, in the seven years since the first generation of the Crown was introduced, Toyota has been making changes to the Crown produced every year.

The biggest modification was in the 7th year, when Toyota introduced the second-generation Crown, which was a very large modification of the second-generation Crown, which was more inclined to the American compact model, and had a more stretched and graceful body structure with a body length of 4.6m.

As Fuso entered a period of economic prosperity and development in Fuso, which was known as the "Ibino Boom", highways were being built in various parts of the country, and the third generation of the Crown came into being, which was developed with the theme of being able to easily complete high-speed and long-distance driving.

This sedan adds high-quality safety features, and the "beauty of Fuso" can be felt from the exterior of the body, and at the same time, because the body is lower and longer, it also gives a dignified impression.

The third generation still continues some of the classic designs of the second generation, such as double round lights, transverse grille and so on. There are 4 options in terms of power. The round taillights become square. The interior has also changed quite a lot, and the overall seats have become two independent seats, which is very similar to the current one.

The third generation of the crown was produced for 4 years, and the fourth generation of the crown was launched.

The fourth-generation crown features an aesthetically pleasing spindle-shaped front face with rounded corners in the exterior design. In addition to aerodynamics, it is equipped with a new 2.6-liter engine and EFI (Electronically Controlled Fuel Injection), creating a premium car with a lot of personality.

The interior of the high-end car with a lot of personality has become square, and all kinds of dashboards are lined up, which is very neat, and it is also equipped with leather seats, radio, power windows, 8-channel stereo, tape recorder, etc.

And the fifth-generation crown gives a sense of calm and stability in the exterior design. It is also equipped with a 4-speed A/T with a speeding pleasure and a speed-sensitive power steering system.

The beautiful and stylized crown was born.

In the last year of the 70's, the Tokyo Summit was held in Fuso, and the economy of Fuso was gradually recovering, and in this year, the sixth generation of the crown was launched.

For Crown, which has already established a solid position as a high-end car in Fuso, the launch of the sixth generation is not to be different, but to create a sense of stability and atmosphere with the aim of "saving resources in the interior space full of comfort, reliability, and quietness".

As a result, in addition to Toyota's first turbo engine, a number of innovations that were prevalent in the 80s were also adopted. Among them, the world's first "pearl mica" body makes the sixth generation known as "the fragrance of Fuso" and "the fragrance of white".

The interior is also obviously much more luxurious, adding mahogany decoration, automatic air conditioning, rear independent air conditioning, car refrigerator, electric sunroof and other standard equipment that can only be found in modern luxury cars.

It is with the configuration of these modern luxury cars that the crown car has gradually become a status symbol.

The crown that has become a status symbol launched the seventh generation of the crown on the eve of the bubble economy in Fuso.

The 7th generation of this generation of Crown has prepared two models, a sedan and a four-door hard top, with as many as 11 engines, and is also equipped with the first supercharger of RB developed in 1985, and the wheel support device adopts 4-wheel independent suspension, and is equipped with standard equipment such as the four-wheel ESC "Electronic Stability Control System", the predecessor of the ABS "anti-lock braking system".

Four years after the 7th generation was on sale, Toyota introduced the 8th-generation Crown.

The eighth-generation Crown introduces state-of-the-art high-tech equipment such as electronically controlled air suspension and electronic multi-performance graphics, as well as a V8 engine that precedes the Celsior.

As a result, the monthly sales even surpassed that of the Corolla at that time, and from 1988 to 1990, the annual sales volume ranked third after the Corolla and Mark II., and in 1990, the highest annual sales volume reached more than 200,000 units (that is, the average monthly sales were more than 10,000 units).

And what Ye Kai wants to copy is the shape of the crown between the eighth and ninth generations, because from the ninth generation, the lines of the crown's shape began to be obviously rounded, and there was a trace of the shadow of the arc prevailing in the previous life.

And now the arc has not yet become popular, or it is a little budding at the beginning, so naturally there is no need to cross so big, and this intermediate value is just right.
