Chapter 150: A4 and A6
Nande heard that what Ye Kai needed now was to concentrate on the development of A1, A4 and A6 models, and then remembered that A1 already had a framework diagram, while A4 and A6 did not. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Listening to Ye Kai's meaning, it seems that these two models will also adopt a new design scheme, otherwise there would be no mention of the second-generation A4 that has just been mass-produced and the A6 that has been mass-produced for 3 years.
Between the stunning A1 artwork given by Ye Kai just now, Nande couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the two models in Ye Kai's mouth. Looking back, I saw that the heads of the departments behind me were gathered in a pile, and those who had read the samples were all discussing in whispers together, from the small movements that were forcibly suppressed and the red look on their faces, it could be seen how much impact the artwork given by Ye Kai had on them, and how big the impact was so much of a surprise!
And those who had not yet seen the artwork had seen it excitedly discussing it together, so they were itching in their hearts, and kept whispering to their colleagues who were leaning in the artwork to speed up.
Nande took in this scene, couldn't help but be honored, turned his head back to look at Ye Kaidao: "I don't know if the boss has a forming idea for the two models of A4 and A6?" ā
The reason why Ye Kai handed over the A1 sketch to them in advance is nothing more than to avoid detours in future research and development, and to establish his authority in technology in front of these technical masters in the previous life, so as not to be difficult to manage in the future. Therefore, when Nande took the initiative to ask about the ideas of the remaining two models, Ye Kai did not shirk at all, and said directly: "I have a little idea, after we discuss the A1 model, let's discuss it again!" ā
"Boss, you see they're still digesting your blueprints, and they won't have any good ideas anytime soon." Nande couldn't wait to point to Ye Kai and pointed to the circle of department heads who had fallen into madness behind him, and said. "It's better to take advantage of this time, you draw your thoughts, and discuss them later."
Ye Kai thought about it, it was exactly what was going on, picked up the pen and paper next to him, and began to slowly sketch on the paper while recalling the development history of the 80 series model, the predecessor of the A4, in his mind.
The first generation of the previous generation of Ausdi 80 (B1) made its debut in September 72, equipped with 4 gasoline engines including 1.3L, 1.5L and 1.6L, combined with a 4-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission, with a body length of only 4.180m and a wheelbase of 2.47m, and was the first in its class to be equipped with an inertia reel automatic seat belt.
Six years later, the second-generation Ausdi 80 (B2) was first introduced as a four-door model, with a wheelbase of 2.54m, a length of 4.38m, and an empty weight of 950kg. Four years later, in the fall, the Aodit 80quattro was unveiled, the world's first production sedan with full-time all-wheel drive technology, equipped with a new 1.6L carburetor engine.
After 8 years of mass production, the second generation of Aodi entered the third generation (B3) in September 1986, and the body size has changed slightly compared to the second generation, and the two-door version has withdrawn from the historical stage and adopts a fully electroplated body design. At the same time, the B3 also replaces the mechanical self-locking center differential with an advanced Torsen self-locking intermediate differential, equipped with an ABS system.
The fourth generation of the Aodit 80, the B4, was launched in the fall of 1991, and the rear axle of the new model was redesigned to be very compact, which was also the prototype of the Ausdi 80 Touring Edition launched in September 1992. The fourth-generation Aodi 80 is 4.48m long, with a wheelbase of 2.61m, and the engine choice is more abundant, and the V6 engine also appeared for the first time on the 80 model. It is worth mentioning that the S2 sedan, a coupe model upgraded to quattro full-time four-wheel drive system, came out in the summer of 1993.
In 1994, the fifth-generation Aodit 80 was officially renamed A4 (B5), with a body size based on the previous model and a slightly longer wheelbase. The A4 (B5) brings two major innovations, a new four-link front suspension and the five-valve technology used in the 1.8-litre petrol engine. Aodit has also added two powerful sports models with quattro technology to the B5 series, namely the S4 and RS4.
In terms of appearance, the first generation of Aodi 80 is a typical square box shape, the second generation of Aodi 80 has been changed several times, and finally the shape of this car has added an arc design, which has become slightly softer, and the third generation has carried out the arc shape in depth, and has made great changes to the entire body appearance, so that the vehicle shape has a trace of the shadow of A4 later; As for the fourth generation, the fifth generation, and so on, it is infinitely closer to the classic A4.
Therefore, the A4 shape selected by Ye Kai directly chose the shape of the third-generation model, so that the shape of the front and rear of the car, and the hood are developing in the direction of roundness and arc, and the release date Ye Kai has decided, and it is set in 4 years, that is, 83 years, only two years ahead of the real history.
After making a decision in his heart, the pen in Ye Kai's hand began to sketch faster, and in Nande's eyes, his boss's thinking was finally opened, and inspiration came, and he began to write like a god.
Soon, a futuristic car shape jumped on the paper, Ye Kai looked at it with satisfaction, and then handed it over to Nande, who was looking at it on the sidelines, Nande excitedly took the design drawings and couldn't wait to start admiring it.
When Nande admired the design drawings, Ye Kai was not idle, and brought another page of paper, ready to sketch the shape of A6.
A6 comes from the evolution of the C-series platform, the first generation of the C-type car was born in 68 years, and then continued until the fourth generation used 100 as the code name of the vehicle, in the later part of the fourth generation, that is, in 95 years, the Aaudi company remodeled the Austic 100, and the facelifted model was officially renamed A6. Therefore, the shape of the first-generation A6 has more of the shadow of the Aodit 100.
Two years after the facelift, in '97, Aodit introduced the fifth-generation A6 series based on the C series, and one of the most striking features of this generation of A6 was the one-stop arched roof and the controversial sleek tail design.
Since then, the sixth, seventh-generation and other C-series platforms of the A6 will be more classic appearance, domineering appearance, good performance in front of fans and owners around the world, and become the main car series of Aodit.
Therefore, the shape of the A6 selected by Ye Kai will be in the shape of the third and fourth generation Aodi 100, looking for the middle value, because the car shape design of this period has begun to introduce the arc design into the car exterior design, using the appearance design of the fourth generation 100, which can not only be the eyeball of Bosch people, but also walk in front of other car manufacturers and lead the design trend!
