Chapter 695: Driving a War Horse? Caution: Slippery!
The reporters from different backgrounds in the audience, after hearing the data that Jin Xiaoqiang just said, suddenly seemed to have taken a stimulant, and they were all very excited.
Indeed, in the past few years, Jin Xiaoqiang has been smooth sailing in the international automobile industry, and he has always been the only one who stepped on others, and now he has finally revealed his flaws, and his 'enemies' will let go of such an opportunity?
5.4L V8 engine, 100 kilometers you actually said that he only has 15L fuel consumption, are you sure you are not joking internationally?
Even if Jin Xiaoqiang just made a slip of the tongue, these reporters decided that he had to make a mess this time!
"Mr. Jin, can you give us a detailed explanation, why this car can achieve a fuel consumption of 15L per 100 kilometers? Or do you have any evidence to prove this data? ”
A Japanese reporter couldn't help it for a long time, the experience of being stepped on by Huayang Power and Jin Xiaoqiang at the previous auto shows made them unusually low-key this time, but now this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make Jin Xiaoqiang ugly, if he misses it, he will definitely regret it for a lifetime, so at this time he can't take care of it, whether Jin Xiaoqiang is digging a pit and arranging traps again, and directly asked all the reporters who are most interested.
"Well, I don't think it's convenient for me to answer you, because you don't believe what I say."
Jin Xiaoqiang glanced at the Japanese reporter meaningfully, and then replied with a smile and a joke, which caused a burst of laughter from the reporters in the audience.
And the Japanese reporter, after being swept away by Jin Xiaoqiang's eyes, was also shocked, in the past few years, he has participated in all the auto shows that Huayang Power has participated in.
It can even be said that he participated in the first international auto show just after the birth of Huayang Power, and since then, all reporters have been taking it as their responsibility to find fault with Huayang Power, but several large-scale auto shows have passed. But they never picked out a flaw in Huayang Power and Jin Xiaoqiang.
However, Jin Xiaoqiang and Huayang Power took the opportunity of reporters' questions to belittle and step on his opponents, making his opponents disgraced.
In the past few years, almost several of the world's most famous large car manufacturers have been stepped on by him, including Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, and even his partner GM has not let go, is this time the pit he dug again?
This Japanese journalist thought of this. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back, but he immediately stabilized his emotions.
Impossible, this 5.4L V8 engine of Huayang Power will definitely not be able to do this, you must know in terms of fuel-saving performance. The best at doing this is definitely our Japanese car manufacturers, especially Toyota and Honda.
But even the V8 engines equipped with Toyota Land Cruisers and Sequoia pickup trucks don't seem to be able to achieve a fuel consumption of 15L per 100 kilometers, so how can they do it?
So I have every reason to believe that this Jin Xiaoqiang is bragging!
The Japanese reporter cheered himself up like this, and then looked at his peers around him, only to see that everyone's expressions were very excited, waiting for Jin Xiaoqiang to give an explanation.
"As for the question of fuel consumption, I don't think it's convenient for me to answer. So I can only call out our test driver, Dominic. Mr. Fabaht, he's been with our team for seven or eight months, and he's been the test driver for several of our supercars, so I think he's probably the one who has the most say in these cars, so I'll leave that to him. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang said as if he waved his hand behind him. As a German, after driving a supercar powered by Huayang and breaking the track lap record on the New North Circuit for two consecutive days, Dominic, which is already quite famous, can be said to have become popular all over Europe in recent days. …,
Recently, many manufacturers and advertisers, as well as news media, have been contacting him. On the one hand, I wanted him to help test the car, or advertise, and I wanted to interview him, but he felt a little tired recently, so he turned down those invitations.
But now Huayang Power, which has made him, wants him to make a live advertisement at the auto show, where can he refuse. To say that the salary offered to him by Huayang Power is very worthy of him.
Before Dominic walked up to the stage, he first shook hands with Jin Xiaoqiang, and then walked in front of the fiery war horse and let the reporters take pictures.
"Dominic, let's talk about it, is the fuel consumption of this car really 15L per 100 kilometers?"
The German reporters in the audience took the lead in asking questions, although everyone still didn't believe this data, but Dominic was German, and he would not lie with the people of the Celestial Empire, so the confidence that many reporters had just built up was a little shaken.
"Yes, I can say with certainty, yes, this data is real, because this data is written by me. When I first arrived in the Celestial Empire last year, I began to test the prototype of this car, first in the factory area, and later in a variety of different environments, and under different road surfaces, and finally the comprehensive fuel consumption was also calculated in this way. I can say responsibly that this result is real. ”
Dominic's categorical answer made many people feel very disappointed, but everyone can't distrust him, after all, he is a very famous test driver in the world, he can't lie, that would ruin his own reputation.
15L fuel consumption of 100 kilometers, in fact, everyone can know, this must be the best result of this car, of course, this is Dominic driven, but if it is an ordinary person driving, it will definitely be 1-2L higher than this record, after all, not all people are test drivers, there is no technology like him.
But this is already an unspoken rule within the automobile industry, all models are like this, for example, a certain car of Audi says that his fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 9L, then if you buy it back, you must be ready to drive 11L per 100 kilometers, after all, you are not a test driver, and you will not run his route.
But overall, the fuel consumption of 15L per 100 kilometers will still be amazing on this car, after all, the displacement of this engine is not small.
Although the reporters felt a little unacceptable, they continued to ask Dominic.
"Dominic, tell me how you feel about driving this car?"
The reporters wanted to find out the flaws in this car from the driving experience.
"Haha, okay! To be honest, when I first saw this car and heard the engineers of Huayang Power explain the engine data of this car to me, I was very surprised, because everyone knows that high-horsepower guys must be difficult to drive, and this car is no different......"
As soon as Dominic said this, the reporters in the audience immediately pricked up their ears......
"What should I say about this car? I can say that this is by far my favorite car of all the cars I've driven. ”
Dominic's next words made many reporters feel a little anxious.
"For this Agni War Horse, you have the right to choose to drive safely, the throttle and clutch are relatively easy to master, the only problem is that it does take time to get used to shifting gears, and occasionally you have to hesitate whether you are in the right gear. I prefer to use 3rd gear on a daily basis, and I can handle normal driving from 20 to 100 km/h. And don't be fooled by the car's high ground clearance, and be sure to slow down when you encounter potholes. Because his suspension is much stiffer than expected, all kinds of vibrations on the ground can be transmitted. The steering mechanism is also very responsive, with slight terrain causing the steering wheel to deviate noticeably, and although the steering force is not great, it is not easy to relax. So this car is more difficult to drive than a normal car, but guys, all supercars, isn't that the case? ”…,
Dominica's derogatory remarks made reporters feel uncomfortable.
"But even when driving smoothly, the car is often hot and anxious. You're faced with a problem all the time: there are 550 horsepower for you to have as many pastimes as you like, do you want it? This has almost become a complex ethical issue, just like a beautiful woman standing naked in front of you and asking you to choose, if you have no evil thoughts and stop water, then you must be crazy; But if you immediately lose your mind and become animalistic, then you are also crazy. I mean, it's a crazy car after all, and no matter how much you drive, it always feels like it's not normal. Usually I'm more inclined to be beastial, but with a little try, it will quickly get you back to being human, because you will immediately realize that there is no beauty in front of you, but a purebred beast. ”
Dominic's words made the reporters in the audience immediately laugh, this guy said really funny, indeed supercars are like this......
"The wildness he brought with him was uncontrollable, and when he accidentally pressed the accelerator a little more at low speeds, the rear end of the car immediately veered to the side without warning. That's because of the torque steering, because the power output is too strong, before it can drive the vehicle forward, the rear wheels slip first, resulting in a yaw inertia that deviates from the direction of the vehicle. The sideways often come very suddenly, and before you can react to the throttle, your ass is about to screw into the side lane, until you are in a hurry, and the ESP finally intervenes, and the rear of the car is kicked back mercilessly, and everything happens so fast, only for a second, and then you feel the ejection take off...... So if you're driving this car, my advice to you is 'Slide carefully!' ’。 ”
