The day before Zhang Wenhao arrived in Dresden, the TopGear program team rushed to Volkswagen's test site in Dresden. But because they are not ready to occupy a whole program time for a certain 2.5T model in China, so in order to save time and labor to the greatest extent, they will advance the schedule of testing the new Audi a7 in half a month, and are ready to take this opportunity to test both models in Dresden at one time.

For the Volkswagen Group, the level of his products is too broad, most of the Volkswagen models focus on the low-end market, the high-end also has its Audi support, as for the high-end car varieties are more complete, Lamborghini is theirs, Bentley is theirs, Bugatti, is also theirs.

Audi is also preparing to launch the new Audi a7 at the auto show in January next year, and this time, the model that will be handed over to TopGear for testing is the 3.0 supercharged top version of the new a7, TopGear originally planned to test the two cars separately, and there will be no conflict between the two models on the show, after all, in their opinion, they can't use a 3.0TFsI supercharged Audi a7 to humiliate a 2.5T made by an unknown Chinese brand.

As soon as the car finally entered the Volkswagen proving ground in Dresden, the TopGear crew set up their cameras and waited for them, in fact, their host had just recorded a show about the Chinese companies playing big names and tricks. The events at the airport were narrated through the camera, and now they are waiting to capture the members of the Dongchen Group and the mysterious 2.5T sedan, in order to set off the front and back, so as to humiliate Dongchen in the later programs.

Zhang Wenhao saw that the other party was in a photographic posture in the car, so he took out a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses from his bag and put them on, and put on a peaked cap printed with Dongchen LoGo and an ordinary medical mask.

As soon as the car stopped, it was stable. The photographer carried the camera to the outside of the car door, and the camera was aimed at the open car door, at this time. The other camera was filmed by three presenters from TopGear, all three Brits in suits, standing in a row outside the car. Waiting for the members of the company to get out of the car.

At this time, the poor mouth Jeremy did not forget to joke, facing the camera, while sorting out his suit, while saying: "I heard that Chinese like this kind of welcome ceremony, so I had to wear such a stupid tie, I really our new Chinese friend don't let us down, otherwise, I will not wear this suit out of the country in the future." ”

Just when Jeremy was vaguely taking Dongchen to open the door, Long Xiaoyue stepped out of the car door first. followed by Zhang Wenhao and other technicians.

Jeremy walked up with the two hosts, shook hands with Long Xiaoyue, and said with a smile: "You must be Miss Long, before you came." I'll discuss with James and Charried, you are so young and beautiful without you. ”

Long Xiaoyue smiled slightly, and said in more standard English: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Jeremy clapped his hands and said, "We've been waiting for your company's mysterious new car for days, but now it's still parked in a sealed container." I wonder if we can now see the true face of that mysterious new car? ”

Long Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Of course." Saying that, she tried a look at Zhang Wenhao, and Zhang Wenhao took a few technicians around him to the container, followed by them, in addition to Long Xiaoyue and the three hosts, and a large group of staff of the director team, came to the trailer, Zhang Wenhao instructed the technician to step forward and open the door of the container, two cameras facing the container, able to capture the appearance of S3C for the first time, and when the door opened, everyone behind him exclaimed. …,

"Oh!" Jeremy, the poisonous tongue, looked at the front part of the Chinese red S3C in the container, and couldn't help but admire: "Don't say anything else, the front face of this car is really domineering!" I like its aerodynamic texture design, as well as its grille, but at a glance, the front face of this car is not inferior to Aston Martin, you know, Aston Martin's front face design, is recognized as the most classic. ”

James May on the side pouted and said: "I am finally pleased to find that I can't find any copycat characteristics in the front part of this car, and Chinese companies have finally begun to embark on the road of independent design." ”

Jeremy smiled: "That's right, what you said reminds me of the Rolls-Royce imitated by Jili in China before, forgive me for God's sake, it's just a complete copy and plagiarism." ”

At this time, Zhang Wenhao ignored the sarcastic discussion of the three people, strode up, opened the door halfway in the container, and sat into the cab with a little effort, and then he closed the door and started the S3C engine in the container.

Charried, who was on the side, said: "Jeremy, listening to the sound of this engine starting, I think the power performance of this car should not be much stronger than that of the Mondeo." ”

Jeremy laughed exaggeratedly a few times, and said a little loudly: "Charlid, you underestimate the strength of the 2.5T engine too much, even if you let South Africans make a 2.5T engine, the power must be stronger than the Mondeo's engine." ”

Zhang Wenhao braked easily, idling to let the car drive out of the container little by little, when the car passed the ramp, Jeremy exclaimed again: "Judging from the front half of the body, the shape of this car is very good." ”

"Cool!" Hammond pursed his lips, with a surprised and puzzled expression, and said: "I have to say, this is much better than I imagined, before today, I was ready to take a look at the Volvo s80L with the changed car logo, and the changes to the shape of the car are quite big without them!" ”

Immediately, the car drove completely out of the container and drove down the slope to the ground, and there was a wave of admiration around him, and even Jeremy was surprised and said: "If this car is a new BMW 5 Series GT, then I must buy one!" Pretty, too beautiful indeed! ”

The other two hosts also agreed, this S3C appeared, its shape is indeed much beyond their imagination, the overall shape of the body is very in line with the streamlined design, not only very pleasing to the eye, but also with a bit of faint domineering, 20-inch wheels also appear just right, coupled with the Chinese red paint of the whole vehicle, this car appears as soon as it appears, it looks very eye-catching.

At this time, Zhang Wenhao lowered the window and asked in English: "Excuse me, when will the test start?" ”

Jeremy blurted out, "Right now, let's go to the lab first and test the overall power of this car." ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded, in order for others to test the true performance of this car before this, he decided to drive the car into the laboratory himself.

A Land Rover from the TopGear program team led the way in front, and the others rode in electric sightseeing cars, while Zhang Wenhao drove the s3C and slowly followed the Range Rover in front of him.

When the car drove into the laboratory, the engineers of Volkswagen in Germany had been waiting for a long time.

Dresden test site, is Volkswagen's most high-end and the most complete test site, this test site not only has the top test site, the most important thing, Volkswagen has many indoor test projects also set up here, can ensure that the test model on the track to find any shortcomings, immediately into the laboratory to change, vehicle power test is one of the basic experimental items here.

Under the instruction of the engineer, Zhang Wenhao drove the car to the laboratory, got out of the car and handed it over to the experimenters to drive the car to the test bench, they immediately skillfully opened the hood, and then began to connect the test transmission system. …,

Others also arrived at this time, and Jeremy said to the camera, holding a microphone: "Dongchen's new model S3C has arrived in the laboratory, and we will now conduct a comprehensive test of the vehicle's vehicle power, including their gearbox, of course." ”

Saying that, while the staff was busy preparing, Jeremy curiously asked James May, another host next to him, and said, "James, how much horsepower do you think this 2.5T engine can reach at its maximum power?" Also, which gearbox do you think they will use? ”

James May pretended to think for a long time, and said: "According to my understanding of Woerwo, they used a 2.5T engine on the Xc90, and the horsepower should be about 210, but they seem to want to modify a little monster this time, so they added twin-turbocharging, if you look at it this way, I think the horsepower should be between 260270, as for the gearbox, I think it must be the Ford 6-speed powershift gearbox of Woerwo GM." ”

Jeremy nodded, and asked Charride beside him, "Charlide, what do you think?" ”

Charridad shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and smiled: "You know, I'm not very fond of Woerwo, so I think the overall power of this car should be around 250 horsepower, and as for the gearbox, I agree with James." ”

Jeremy then turned his head back to the camera and said with a smile: "It seems that the three of us have the same opinion, the overall horsepower of this car should not exceed 270, and it should be equipped with the Ford 6-speed Powershift transmission used in many previous models." ”

At this time, a Volkswagen engineer who was passing by stopped and said to Jeremy: "Although I don't know whose gearbox they are equipped with, I can tell you one thing first, this should be an eight-speed gearbox." ”

"What?!" The three of them asked in unison, and Jeremy hurriedly grabbed the engineer who was about to leave, and asked, "How do you know that the car is equipped with an eight-speed gearbox?" ”

The engineer smiled: "I drove the car to the test bench just now, and after a cursory look, their speedometer has a maximum speed of 320 kilometers per hour, and the tachometer is marked to 10,000, so, according to common sense, it should be equipped with an eight-speed gearbox."
