Thinking of this, Zhang Lan was excited: gasoline engine in-cylinder direct injection technology? It's good that my company's technology has been sitting there for a long time after applying for a patent, and it hasn't been officially used until now, except for the four modified cars that participated in the Dakar Rally.

At this time, it was also time to take the technology out there and show Cosworth the strength of the Alice Group in engine design!

To be honest, Cosworth was proud of the fact that although they were not valued by the Vickers Group before, they still insisted that although they were not valued for various reasons, their technology was always the best, as evidenced by the fact that several F1 teams used their own engines.

But when Alice Group took out the epoch-making gasoline in-cylinder direct injection technology in front of its own eyes and shared it as the core engine technology of the new "Longxuan" sports car, Cosworth was surprised: this kind of technology that he has not developed is actually developed by a manufacturer who has not been engaged in automobile manufacturing for several years?

Prior to this, the cylinder direct injection technology has been the patent of the diesel engine, the Volkswagen Group is proud of its own TDI diesel engine using cylinder direct injection technology, the benefits of applying the cylinder direct injection technology on the gasoline engine are not unknown, but this technology has not made a substantial breakthrough, today their boss suddenly took out the gasoline engine cylinder direct injection technology, which is really unacceptable to Cosworth. \///\\

The unbelieving Cosworth immediately carried out a computer simulation of this revolutionary technical achievement in the field of gasoline engines, and the results of the calculations surprised them: if the company's existing 4.2-liter naturally aspirated V-eight engine were to be used in this technology, known as "direct injection", the maximum power output of the entire engine would be increased by 35 kW and the maximum torque output would also be increased by 64 Nm. meters, the maximum torque output range will also be increased from the previous 3200 to 5500 rpm to 2500 rpm to 6500 rpm!

Maximum torque output can be achieved over a wider range of engine speeds. No one knows this better than these engine designers, and it means that even when the engine speed is close to the red line, the engine still has a strong explosive power!

Not only that, but it is accurately simulated and calculated. \\\Cosworth's engine designer found that after adopting in-cylinder direct injection technology, compared with the original design, this engine has increased the maximum power and maximum torque, as well as the maximum torque output range, while reducing fuel consumption by 7%! Is this true? Is it possible?

"How?" When she saw the incredulous expressions on the faces of the engine engineers at Cosworth, Zhang Lan smiled proudly, "How do you feel about the company's technology?" ”

"If the company has such a strong technical prowess in engine design, why would we need Cosworth to do this work?" Cosworth's chief designer of civil engines, John Brown. Jonas asked. "According to this technology, the design and manufacturing capabilities of the group company in terms of engines are not inferior."

"Because you're better at making engines for sports cars," Zhang Lan replied, of course, and for good reason. Cosworth is really good at this, "We designed this car as a high-performance sports car, with an engine like that. Naturally, it would be more appropriate to leave it to a professional engine design department like yours. \\\”

The devil believes in you! Listen to Zhang Lan fooling John there. Jonas. Xiao Chenxi and Alice hid to the side and laughed secretly: If this is really the case, you will still go to Cosworth? It's not because the engine made by our company is too large. Too much weight will correspondingly reduce the power output ratio of the engine. And then affect the overall performance of the whole car?

Xiao Chenxi and Alice knew why Zhang Lan did this, but John. Jonas didn't know. In order to prove that the new boss's money was not spent in vain, Cosworth, who was eager to perform well in front of the new owner, naturally used all his energy to deal with this test for himself - Cosworth naturally regarded this design and development task as a test for his new boss Alice Group, and what kind of position Cosworth was in in the Alice Group in the future, and whether it would even be sold because it failed to meet the requirements, a big key was to see how well he performed this time.

Over the years, his grandmother didn't love his uncle and was kicked around like a broken ball, so that although Cosworth was extremely confident in his skills, he never had a way to achieve a higher status in front of his boss. \\\ They desperately hope that they can settle down and engage in their own research work with peace of mind, and now what Zhang Lan has given them is a godsend for them to fight for their own status.

"Can you take the undercarriage design task forward?" Zhang Lan asked John. Jonas, "But this job may be more demanding, you can refuse this task and choose to only take on the task of engine design, and the group respects your choice." ”

Zhang Lan looked through Cosworth's materials on civil engine design, and what made him very interested was that Cosworth not only had extremely outstanding achievements in engine design, but also had quite outstanding achievements in automobile chassis design. Zhang Lan thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized in her heart: a good engine naturally needs a good chassis to match, in order to give full play to its performance.

Naturally, Cosworth, who has a high level of achievement in engine design, and Cosworth, who provides engines for several F1 teams, will naturally put a lot of effort into the design of the chassis in order to maximize the full performance of the engines he designs. \\\"No problem! The next move also confirmed Zhang Lan's speculation, and the chief designer of Cosworth, John Brown. Jonas nodded without hesitation, "We have also taken this task!" ”

"Very well," said John. Zhang Lan appreciated Jonas's move, "I don't interfere too much with you in the specific design tasks, and I only have three requirements for you: first, in order to reduce the weight of the body as much as possible, the new body will adopt an all-aluminum body design, including the engine and chassis system, well, of course, except for the transmission shaft; Second, in order to give better play to the performance of the chassis and engine, I hope that the drive mode of this car is mid-mounted four-wheel drive; Thirdly, compared to traditional sports cars, the safety of our all-aluminum body frame cannot be reduced in the slightest. What do you think? Questions? ”,

"No problem," said John. Jonas replied without hesitation. For him, the questions raised by Zhang Lan, except for the full-time four-wheel drive, are not too difficult. Is it harder to design the engine and chassis of this car than it is to design the engine and chassis of an F1 car?

"That's good," Zhang Lan nodded, snickering in her heart, "By the way, I forgot to tell Mr. John, we have already designed the exterior and interior of the body, and you can only determine your work based on the exterior and interior of this car." Of course, for the needs of the design, local adjustments are allowed, but large changes are absolutely not allowed. ”

Saying, in John. On the monitor in front of Jonas, a blueprint of a sports car appeared.

When hearing Zhang Lan say this, John. Jonas almost wanted to scold his mother with hatred: You have even designed the exterior and interior, so isn't the design of our chassis and body work very restricted? You're asking so much!

Just this idea in John. Jonas only lingered in his mind for a moment, and then disappeared immediately, for no other reason, because his eyes were completely attracted by the design in front of him.

The design shown by Zhang Lan on the photo is so appealing that it is very attractive in the case of John. According to Jonas, this should not be a production car at all, but a concept car that can only appear in a few decades! Of course, in fact, it is almost the same, this car was originally developed on the basis of the concept car, and it itself has strong concept car design elements. It is not an exaggeration to say that Jonas was surprised by this.

There is no doubt that what Zhang Lan pirated this time was not another model, but the shape of the Audi R8, the luxury sports car that Audi was most proud of in the early 21st century. Among all the sports cars in the same level as the Audi R8, Zhang Lan believes that in terms of exterior design and power design, no sports car can surpass the Audi R8.

Since Audi has not yet launched its own Audi R8, such a God-given opportunity and not taking advantage of it yourself, wouldn't it be a super fool?

After seeing the design drawings of this car, John . The little unhappiness in Jonas's heart immediately disappeared without a trace: if the chassis and the entire body of such a beautiful sports car were really from his own hands, then even if he worked overtime and slept for a few days in a row, it would be worth it.

In the eyes of a car designer, a good design is even similar to his son, for his son, he can do anything, and now, Zhang Lan is using such a cute baby to tempt and seduce John. Jonas: Look, how beautiful and exciting this car is, can you bear to let him abort?

John. Jonas was fooled, of course he didn't allow such a thing to happen, so the next question he asked Zhang Lan became: "Can you send me this blueprint?" Oh, by the way, tell me the dimensions of this design, and I can design the exact arrangement of the chassis and engine according to this size. ”
