Chapter 697: A Hybrid of a Muscle Car and a Supercar

Dominic's explanation made the reporters in the audience feel at a loss, and the main reason was because this guy's praise was really too chicked.

Almost all of what came out of his mouth was the praise of Huayang Power's fire warhorse, this car is indeed excellent from an objective point of view, and it can even be said to be a benchmark of the times.

If Huayang Power really lists it as a supercar for mid-to-high-end customers, then he can already beat Porsche and Nissan GT-R in seconds.

This is something that many of the old big car manufacturers and their gunmen do not want to see, and besides, it is, after all, a supercar produced by the Celestial Empire, and Western journalists' attitude towards the Celestial Empire has always been to belittle as much as they can, and even if it is beneficial, they are not willing to publicize it more.

But now the test results of these three supercars of Huayang Power on the New North Circuit are there, if you pretend to be blind and do not report, then the people will definitely not do it, and your news will definitely not be read.

After all, ordinary people don't care what you think, they just like to see what they like to see in the media, Huayang Power is such an affordable company, and can make such an excellent car, of course, everyone hopes to see more reports about them.

And since Dominic set two lap records this year, he has become a celebrity in the world of testing, and what he says is very influential, and if you don't report what he says, or distort the facts of what he says, your career as a journalist will surely be over.

So of course, the reporters in the audience will feel very conflicted, but after thinking about it for a while, they can only pinch their noses, record Dominic's meaty words, and then ponder how to write them when they go back.

But this is mainly the voice of German reporters and Japanese reporters, after all, their local companies are the biggest competitors of Huayang Power's supercars.

This is not the case with journalists in the United States and other European countries, because there is no direct conflict of interest. So journalists from the United Kingdom, Spain, and France, especially from the United States, are very happy to hear about Dominica's experience.

Especially American journalists. They are from the country in the world that loves V8 engines, and now a company can make such a good V8 engine, of course, they are overjoyed, and even many American reporters with good conditions have wondered whether they will also get one to drive once this fire war horse is listed.

"I can say to you very responsibly, if you own a supercar like this. You won't regret it, because you'll get a mix of two different styles in this car. ”

Dominic's next words aroused the curiosity of the reporters.

How do you understand this? Dominica! ”

The journalists asked.

"I don't know how many of you have driven an American muscle car? But I've driven, American-style muscle cars, what I want most is that kind of wild and uninhibited, unrestrained feeling, they have strong horsepower, but because the torque is increased too quickly. As a result, when driving it, the rear wheel speed is too fast and often slips and flicks. In this way, it is difficult for this kind of muscle car to create any good results on the track, and the chassis of that kind of car is not very reasonable, so it is very difficult to control that kind of muscle car. But I want to emphasize that that's the spiritual core of the American muscle car, which is made to skid, flick the tail, and when you slam the throttle of the muscle car, your adrenaline rushes, and you experience the thrill of breaking the traditional shackles to the limit. In that moment, to hell with all those straight-line acceleration records, lap times! Driving an American muscle car, it is this kind of wild pleasure that is unrestrained and breaks the shackles of tradition! ”

…,

Dominic suddenly talked about his understanding of the American muscle car, and the reporters in the audience seemed to think of some of the more clever reporters. I already understood his intentions by saying this.

Especially the American reporter, for Dominic to say this words are even more grateful to some tears, over the years American car sales have been shrinking all over the world, but how many of those fools can understand the essence of American car culture?

And this Dominic in front of him is undoubtedly a fellow practitioner!

"But a muscle car, after all, a muscle car, it's not a supercar, and the reason why I say that is because a lot of the power of their powerful engine is wasted on tail wheel slip and tail flick at the beginning. And because of the improper configuration of the chassis, it is difficult to control the car when driving at high speeds, which is also a problem, and it is difficult for people who do not have much driving experience to drive such a car. Modern supercars have corrected these mistakes, but those cars are equipped with too many electronic control tools, and the most important point is that their engines are not as powerful as this fire horse, so it is difficult for you to feel the kind of wild call and the joy of breaking the shackles that can only be brought to you by American muscle cars in those ordinary supercars. But on this Fire Horse supercar, you can perfectly feel the combination of the two. ”

When Dominic said this, the reporters in the audience were silent, and indeed if this supercar can bring consumers such an experience, then this car will definitely go out of its own way, create its own style, put it on the market without thinking too much, it will definitely sell well.

"He's got the almost brutal power of an American muscle car, and in the very first few seconds, you can enjoy the rear wheel slippage and tail flick of the American muscle car. But with the electronic control system stepping in, he'll be able to get back on track very quickly, giving you the crazy thrill of straight-line acceleration of a real supercar, and if you're a record freak, you can drive this car and take on any track to set records, and I'm sure he won't disappoint you. Here I still want to emphasize his chassis tuning again, and I have to thank Mr. Jin Xiaoqiang. ”

Speaking of this, Dominic stretched out his thumbs like Jin Xiaoqiang, who was standing on the other side of the booth, and the reporters in the audience seized this moment and murdered Filmin frantically.

"He is a real master of chassis tuning, and everyone knows that the chassis of a supercar is designed very low because of the emphasis on grip and stability, so that once the supercar leaves the paved road, it completely loses the fun of driving. But this fire horse is different, he has a larger weight than the average supercar, so he does not need an ultra-low chassis to ensure his grip, and his strong power allows him to ignore wind resistance, and his excellent power and transmission combination allows him to control fuel consumption through a wonderful mechanical combination while ignoring aerodynamics. At this time, he raised the chassis, which made the car more efficient than ordinary supercars. I think you've never experienced the wild feeling of driving a supercar on an unpaved road, but I recommend you try it. A few summers, I once drove a fiery war horse on the Gobi Desert in the western part of the Celestial Empire, and I can't find the right words to describe that feeling......"

Dominic is still talking nonsense on stage, but the reporters in the audience have begun to think about it, and many people have in their minds that driving this fiery war horse, galloping wildly on the endless flat desert Gobi Desert, that kind of desolate, wild, and completely unrestrained feeling......

…,

If I had to find one word to describe it, it would be wildness......

And those American reporters in the audience were even more excited and tearful, isn't this the essence of American cowboy culture? Wild, uninhibited, breaking and flouting all conventions, isn't this car designed for us American cowboys?

As soon as Dominic's words fell, a group of reporters adjusted the key person of the question again and turned to Jin Xiaoqiang.

"May I ask Mr. Kim, what inspired you when you designed this car? What was your motivation for designing this car in the first place? ”

"Well, to tell you the truth, when I first designed this car, I was really influenced by American muscle car culture a lot, and I know that I was also a fan of several well-known American muscle cars. On the other hand, my ultimate design goal was to design a supercar that would meet the needs of mid-to-high-end consumers, so I wondered what means should I use to perfectly integrate the concept of muscle cars with the concept of supercars. So I thought about it a lot, and it took me three months to finally settle on this sports car......"

With such an opportunity, of course Jin Xiaoqiang is blowing a lot, anyway, now that his reputation as a design genius is already real, if he doesn't have such an opportunity to promote himself at this time, when will he be able to surpass Jobs?

But he didn't know that at this time, the engineers of other companies who were waiting in the audience to spy on the news, that is, his peers, were full of internal bulls.

Nima? A team of designers, even if it takes a few years of hard work, may not be able to drum up such a supercar, but you actually completed such a design in March by yourself, how can you let other peers live?
