At the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, Ford also introduced a 3.7L V6 engine for a low-end Mustang.

The engine is made entirely of aluminium, a 24-valve structure, and features dual independent variable camshaft timing, all-aluminium overhead camshafts and other technologies that deliver a maximum power of 305 hp and a peak torque output of 379 Nm.

This engine, whether looking at the data or looking at the actual performance, can be called a very outstanding engine, especially in the field of naturally aspirated V6, in the current year of 2005, this engine can definitely be called the only scorpion.

Such an engine configuration can definitely be called unique among the low-end models of supercars.

With a price of about 400,000 yuan, this entry-level supercar of Huayang Power can definitely dominate the market.

With such a staggered engine configuration, Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't have to worry too much, their Huayang Power's supercar definitely has quite strong competitiveness.

And this is only the real high-end version of the entry-level supercar, as for the real supercar, he has his own unique insights and plans.

In terms of transmission, Jin Xiaoqiang also has his own preparations, in fact, as early as the previous Paris Motor Show, he had already shown the transmission that matched this engine.

This transmission is a six-speed manual transmission from the American TTC Tremec model, and after TTC's careful design and tuning, the maximum torque that this transmission can withstand can reach 810 Nm.

Such a transmission, coupled with such an engine, can be said to be invincible in the current supercar field.

You must know that the transmission equipped with the Mustang has always been praised by many fans, and this transmission is not only used on the Mustang, but also on his most direct competitor Chevrolet's Camaro and Dodge Challenger.

And Jin Xiaoqiang also prepared the 8-speed automatic transmission that he had already copied from ZF for this engine, you must know that the current transmission, but the highest core secret of Huayang Power, is currently in the world 6-speed automatic transmission, and it is the highest configuration, if he takes out this 8-speed transmission now, it will undoubtedly drop a bombshell in the level world of the automotive industry.

However, he only intends to use this configuration on the highest-level models of this supercar, and as for the low-end models, there is absolutely no chance to use this technology now.

However, even with such a match, this supercar can only be called a civilian sports car in the real sports car world, because his configuration, compared with his other competitors, is really not high-end.

It can only be said that he is slightly ahead of his competitors, and if he really wants to sell it for a high price of seven or eight million, from the current point of view, it can be said that it is unlikely.

After all, if you want to sell such a high-priced car, you must have your own uniqueness, that is to say, you must have your own unique skills, such as Ferrari, the reason why it is so expensive is because of its unique characteristics.

First of all, Ferrari has an unimaginable popularity and reputation around the world, which is of course due to the fact that it has competed in Formula 1 for many years and won first place many times.

On the other hand, his hand-built concept and his large 7.2 displacement engine have indeed brought insurmountable performance to the linear acceleration of this car.

Combined with all the other gimmicks and the real high-tech content, Ferrari has a unique place in the world of cars. …,

Therefore, if Huayang Power really wants to create a model that can compete with Ferrari's level of models, then it must come up with a product with its own uniqueness, and this product will become the core fist machine product of Huayang Power, which can also be called their pride.

It can even be regarded as a symbol, as long as this car is driven out, people will know that this is the highest-level boutique manufactured by the famous Huayang Power.

However, if you want to manufacture such a high-quality product, the investment required is often very huge, and the funds invested in the field of research and development alone may cost billions.

And these billions of dollars are smashed, but they may not be able to achieve the results you want, because real supercars are not so easy to make.

Although Japanese cars have been recognized around the world and have achieved excellent results in various competitions, rallies and touring car events around the world, it is difficult to see Japanese people in F1, which truly represents the highest level of the automobile manufacturing industry.

In this event, almost all of them are the top brands of the old industrial powers in Europe and the United States, and these brands are not to mention research and development every year, and the funds invested in this event alone are probably counted in hundreds of millions.

It can be seen that this is the difficulty of developing ultra-high-end luxury sports cars.

As a practitioner in the automotive industry, Jin Xiaoqiang's ultimate dream is, of course, to be able to build a supercar that can participate in F1 races, but the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and now it is quite difficult for Huayang Power to participate in this event.

And not to mention F1 level events, even events such as Dakar, World Touring Car Masters, and World Rally Championship, Jin Xiaoqiang did not let Huayang Power's products participate.

It is because he knows that Huayang Power does not look at the current surface scenery, but the foundation of this enterprise is still relatively fragile at present.

Huayang Power's current achievements can be said to be related to his golden finger, if it weren't for his big gold finger, just relying on the research and development capabilities of these scientific researchers in the current enterprise, not to mention the international level car dealers, I am afraid that even Ricky, or Liji such a domestic independent brand is also very inferior.

Although as the boss of Huayang Power, he also knows that he should not be so arrogant, but in his opinion, the current Huayang Power really does not have the ability to participate in these world-class competitions.

Because in those big games, don't look at the TV screen and just broadcast the cars running on the track, but behind the scenes, who can see the sweat of those mechanics and engineers?

Every day the car runs down, the maintenance work to be carried out, or the car suddenly encounters an unexpected situation and breaks down, at this time you have to have the ability to troubleshoot, etc., many aspects, at present, as far as the engineers of Huayang Power are concerned, they do not have.

At present, there are many engineers under Huayang Power, but there are not many who can really stand up and take charge alone.

As for the other so-called engineers, they are still in the stage of growing and absorbing experience, and they have not yet been able to complete the design of a car independently, and even the concept of the team has only been cultivated in the past few years.

Jin Xiaoqiang does not look down on such talents, and it can even be said that on the contrary, he attaches great importance to these engineers, especially the training of these engineers.

Because in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, these people are the hope of the future of their Huayang Power, and they are the hope of the future of the Tianchao automobile industry.

Compared with these engineers from professional classes, if you find a designer from a wild road, sooner or later you will eat up your old book, and when that day comes, Jin Xiaoqiang hopes that these engineers have grown up thoroughly and can provoke the future development of Huayang Power. …,

So now is really not the time for Huayang Power to participate in those messy auto shows, but you can not participate in international competitions, but you can try to participate in some domestic events.

Although the domestic racing industry is still just starting, it is a good time for Huayang Power to get involved, but these are all later words, and what he is thinking about at present is the supercar that is called for Porsche, Lamborghini, and even Ferrari supercars.

And this sports car has already been in his heart for a long time.

This supercar was launched in 2012 by the Spanish IFR, the Son of Darkness, the ASPIDGT-21!!

When this car was just launched by IFR, it stole the attention of all reporters and consumers as soon as it appeared, not to mention anything else, the shape of this car is too beautiful.

The ghost-like silver-grey bodywork, the 50:50 gold ratio, his retro outboard tire design, and the fierce but majestic front face all made this car known as the Night Elves, or Prince of the Night, from the very beginning.

When Jin Xiaoqiang was on TV and on the computer, when he saw the appearance of this car at first glance, he was immediately fascinated by the shape of this car, and he really wanted to fly to the side of this car, and touch this car at close range and play with it.

It's a pity that at that time, he was just a poor dick who had an extremely hard life, not to mention that he bought such a car, but even a close contact is probably a luxury.

He can only enjoy the heroic appearance of this car on the computer, and then look at the computer screen to YY.

Because this car has been very low-key since it was launched, and it has not been as high-profile as Ferrari and Porsche have done all kinds of advertisements everywhere, so the outside world does not know much about this car.

Even the Celestial Empire, which was already very developed in the online media at that time, did not have many reports on this car, after all, IFR and Ferrari, as well as world-renowned manufacturers such as Porsche, really seem to be unknown, so it is predictable that it will not be welcomed.

At that time, in order to understand this car in more detail, Jin Xiaoqiang went out to search for this car on foreign language websites, consulted information, watched various owner evaluations, etc., and only then did he have a preliminary understanding of this car and the IFR that built him.

IFR is actually the abbreviation of the name of the brand's founder, Rodriguez, who worked for Mitsubishi Corporation for many years as an automotive engineer and participated in Mitsubishi's Evo WRC events many times.

So he had a lot of experience in building a sports car, and in 2003 Rodriguez resigned from Mitsubishi and gathered a group of like-minded engineers to develop and build a supercar.

Their starting point is to build sports cars, and they are not interested in other ordinary models.

After five years of running-in and secret research, Rodriguez and his team finally developed the first civilian supercar model, which was the AspidsportsCar that made IRF famous in the industry.

The car was unveiled at the London Motor Show in 2008 and was so impressed that the London press even referred to it as a Bugatti Veyron from Barcelona.

And this car also gave IRF a taste of sweetness, and began to emerge in the world's automobile manufacturers.

However, IRF was not carried away by the success achieved at the motor show, they continued to keep their heads level, and for their first creation, they have been strictly following the principles of customization.

The low-end entry-level version is priced at £75,000, while the high-end luxury sports version is only priced at £107,000, making them a real small profit. …,

However, the scale of annual production of no more than 50 units still limits the development of the IRF, but the IRF is not just focused on this car.

They used this car as a model to continue to develop the next car, and it was this car that was born in later generations and immediately shocked the audience, making car manufacturers all over the world, and fans amazed this Son of Darkness aspidgt-21.

In terms of engine tuning, the IFR didn't show much superiority, and on their first AspidsportsCar model, they only got two 2.0L engines, with the low-end version being a purely naturally aspirated engine and the high-end sports version being equipped with a supercharger.

However, in terms of power output, these two engines are more prominently tuned, and the two engines can burst out with 270 horsepower and 405 horsepower data, which are indeed outstanding for 2.0L displacement engines.

But later on the Night Suns, the 4.4L V8 engine they used, the energy burst out was a bit average, only 440 horsepower, and about this, Jin Xiaoqiang felt that he had a lot of room to be tuned.

And another highlight of this car is its weight, which has been the focus of attention since the moment it was born, because this car is not only made of aluminum alloy skeleton, but also made of aluminum alloy chassis......
