In fact, if you look at performance alone, the performance of this Son of Darkness is not very outstanding, and it can even be said to be very average.
There are only two advantages and gimmicks worth hyping about this car, one is its impressive appearance, which cannot be forgotten at first sight.
Another point is the weight of his body, the weight of this supercar is only 990 kilograms, which is not even a ton, which has to be said to be a surprising little surprise.
This car is equipped with a BMW 41 engine, the peak output, in fact, is only 440 horsepower, with a 6-speed manual transmission, this car can break 100 kilometers per hour in 3 seconds, and his limit speed can also reach 1 kilometer per hour.
From any point of view, the data that this car can achieve can only be said to be decent, there is nothing to stand out, and there is nothing that cannot be passed.
But if Jin Xiaoqiang wants to build this car into a real supercar belonging to Huayang Power, then he must abandon the original power configuration of this car.
You must know that the so-called supercar, that is a heartbeat, the emphasis is on speed, that is, the so-called straight-line acceleration performance, if it is configured according to the powertrain of the principle of this Dark Child, then this car will be just a fancy car with only the appearance in the future, which is not what Jin Xiaoqiang wants to see.
100 kilometers actually only ran for three seconds, what kind of supercar is this?
Look at the devil's God of War GTR 100 kilometers straight line acceleration, running into two seconds is a matter of sprinkling water, so the power configuration of this car still needs to be improved in Jin Xiaoqiang's opinion.
Therefore, what Jin Xiaoqiang plans to configure this car is the super engine that was later assembled on the Mustang Super Viper, you must know that the engine is a super engine that uses Eaton's sixth-generation supercharger, and the peak output can easily jump to 800 horsepower, such horsepower can really make many people feel cardiac arrest if it is not said now.
800 horsepower, what kind of concept is this, this is almost catching up with the motor of a small aircraft, if it is equipped with such an engine, then the car will not become a land aircraft?
Although equipped with such a high-horsepower engine, it is necessary to adjust the body structure to increase the stability of the body, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, this is not without benefits.
When IRF developed this Son of Darkness, it was also the sword that went off the rails, because they were a small company and did not have their own engine research and development team, so when they built this car, they could only rely on purchasing engines from outside to use this car.
As we all know, supercars have very high requirements for the performance of the engine, if the data of the engine is not up to standard, then the performance of this sports car will also be substandard, and even run out of shameful results, but let alone drive such a car to go out to pull the wind, I am afraid that as soon as it is driven on the street, it will be ridiculed as a pen.
Just ask me, where will anyone sell such a car?
And where would the other big car manufacturers in the world sell the engines of a supercar like this?
You must know that such engines are generally the confidential core technologies of these companies, and they are generally cherished by themselves or assembled on their own models, and they are not given to people outside, so isn't their brains kicked by a donkey?
So at that time, the IRF was scouring from the outside world, and it also got a backward 4.4L engine from BMW, and the peak power output of this engine was only 440 horsepower. …,
With such a peak power output, to be honest, it was difficult to make this car run a decent result in 201X, so IRF's engineers had to work on the weight of the body in order to make this Son of Darkness run a real supercar
They used aluminum alloy products to make the chassis of this car, and most of the body, which greatly reduced the weight of the body, so that the weight of the car was reduced to only 990 kilograms, so that in the backward generation of 4.4L engine driven, the car only ran 3 seconds 100 kilometers, barely squeezed into the ranks of supercars.
But such an act, in the eyes of Jin Xiaoqiang now, is completely a waste of the beautiful appearance of this car.
You must know that there is indeed nothing wrong with using aluminum alloy products to reduce the weight of the body, and the mainstream idea of future automobile manufacturing is to use a large number of aluminum alloys to reduce the weight of the body, but that is for fuel saving and environmental protection.
The speed of supercars is generally very fast, and if you drive fiercely in places with many curves, the rigidity of the body will be particularly high.
And if it is equipped with an engine like Jin Xiaoqiang's imagination that can reach 800 horsepower casually, he is really worried about whether this supercar with aluminum alloy as the main body strength component can withstand it?
Another very important problem is that the manufacturing process of the aluminum alloy component car body is very difficult, and the manufacturing process is also very complicated, and the requirements for work, site, and equipment are very high, which will greatly increase the cost of the body.
Before the designer of Huayang Power, Wuyun, once imitated Audi's unique and all-aluminum body technology, but this technology has not been widely used in Huayang Power, after all, the cost is too high after settlement, so the technology is only suitable for high-end luxury models.
For this supercar, because the horsepower of the engine is amplified by Jin Xiaoqiang, the body of the car can no longer be as light as before, so when the time comes to make the body, it is very likely that the structure will be adjusted in many key parts, which is exactly what Jin Xiaoqiang wants.
If you don't use an all-aluminum chassis, only aluminum alloy parts are used in key parts, so that the weight of the body will be increased, but if it is matched with the 541 engine that Jin Xiaoqiang wants, and supplemented by the sixth-generation Eaton supercharger, the peak power output of this car can reach 800 horsepower.
Wouldn't this become an excellent golden combination in Jin Xiaoqiang's heart?
At that time, this car is to be shaped by the shape, to have content, take it out as long as you put it anywhere, it will definitely attract the attention of most consumers, I believe that when the time comes, consumers who really have the ability to buy will not have much resistance in the face of such a supercar full of dark art.
When the time comes, if you buy seven or eight million such a car, and limit it to one thousand units a year, it will be enough to make yourself a lot of money.
Throughout ancient and modern times, no matter in any era, luxury goods are always not sold, and this symbol of identity and status is the object that those rich people will always pursue.
For any symbol that can enhance their status and status, those powerful and rich people will always spend a lot of money to take it down.
In Jin Xiaoqiang's view, as long as this dark son is built, then he will definitely be a luxury supercar to the extreme, and as long as it is properly hyped, this car is not only a luxury, but also can be labeled as a work of art, and it will be difficult to keep a low profile at that time. …,
Thinking of this, Jin Xiaoqiang was particularly happy, during this time he didn't go to the company at all, but kept nesting in the Special Vehicle Research Institute, constantly drawing.
Fortunately, he has a golden finger against the sky, during this time he just draws every day, to draw no less than dozens of pictures, and about each model, how to do the configuration, he has made detailed instructions on the drawings.
And Liu Changshan and Liu Xiaoliang, the main job of the two guys every day is to wait in the office next to Jin Xiaoqiang when he is drawing drawings, and when Jin Xiaoqiang is out of the customs at night, come over to read the drawings, and then take them back to discuss.
Liu Xiaoqiang was originally a car fan, and he was also a data controller, so of course he was very supportive of Jin Xiaoqiang's development of a supercar.
And Master Liu Changshan has been engaged in the research and development of military vehicles all his life, and now that the military armor has been completed, he suddenly has no work at hand, and he feels a little empty, so he also came to join in the fun.
And he has studied cars all his life, and he is best at the power distribution and chassis design of the car, and now Jin Xiaoqiang is engaged in supercars, and the design requirements for the chassis and power distribution of such models are also very high, and this work is also a challenge for him, so the old man is also interested.
However, another old man, Liu Hong, does not agree with Jin Xiaoqiang's supercar, after all, the old man's thinking is a little old, and he can't keep up with the rhythm of the times.
In his eyes, cars are military cars and civilian cars, and they are also the nature of a means of transportation, and as for supercars, which are purely for the rich, he is really not very interested.
However, this did not prevent him from passing on his experience in the development of high-power engines to the young engineers who had been following him before and after the saddle.
Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't care much about the old man's attitude, the old man is not young, and now that he has completed the research and development of military vehicles, he has completed his long-cherished wish in this life, and he is no longer interested in the challenges of the future.
However, his experience is still crucial to the training of a new generation of engine engineers, and as long as he is willing to pass on his insights on high-power engines to those young engineers, Jin Xiaoqiang feels very satisfied.
After all, the hope for the future of the company lies in these young engineers, and they will be involved in the development of this supercar...... )
