Zhang Wenhao's most urgent need now is to add a certain gimmick to attract the world's competitiveness on the S3 high-end model, a new four-wheel drive system, human-computer interaction software, with the current 2.5T turbocharged engine, the power performance and handling performance of this car can definitely be improved a lot, if you really want to deter those national media with a hundred years of automobile history, I'm afraid it's not enough.

Zhang Wenhao has carefully studied the magazine "Famous Car Journal", the magazine's taste for the whole vehicle can be said to be the standard Americanization, what kind of model can attract their attention and cater to their appetite? First of all, all-road SUV, Americans have no temptation for high-power, large-displacement and strong car, even in today's energy-saving and emission reduction era, even if most people buy economical and practical cars, their pursuit of the car is still the same, they can drive an environmentally friendly hybrid car like Toyota Prius, but what they yearn for in their hearts is still Hummer, Lincoln and other muscle goods.

In addition to all-road models, Americans, like people all over the world, love high-performance bomb street cars, the so-called bomb street cars, just like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti and other supercars, casual engine roar can resound throughout the street, performance, has always been one of the pursuit of car enthusiasts all over the world will never decline.

In this regard, Zhang Wenhao is also ready to cater to their appetite with a high-end S3, and the same is true for the three fucking birdmen in "Top-Gear", if they were given the world's most environmentally friendly car, Jeremy Clarkson's shit would surely exclaim: "I fucking doubt I'm in an electric wheelchair"

So, in terms of the whole vehicle. The top-of-the-line S3 is the best choice to conquer these two media, and Zhang Wenhao is also ready to give this group of people an unforgettable sense of amazement, he decided to add an additional turbocharger to the top-of-the-line 2.5T power S3 model.

In other words, he wants to make a 2.5T, twin-turbo, but capable of reaching more than 420 horsepower, and his engine is made of the latest aluminum alloy. So, there is no need to worry about the engine carrying capacity, twin-turbo. You can still run extremely happily, and if the host of "Top-Gear" sits defenselessly in a car with a 2.5T engine, then kick the accelerator down. Enough to make them stunned.

To this end, Zhang Wenhao let Xiao Er use high-precision machining center, almost equivalent to pure manual to create two sets of 8-speed manual automatic gearbox, this gearbox whether it is scientific and technological content, or production technology, can be called the world's top, its changeable combination, incomparably flexible gear conversion, can perfectly amplify the torque of the engine, starting speed, the acceleration of the front, middle and rear three sections will be significantly improved.

This transmission is what he is preparing for the future S4 and better models. However, in order to achieve a shocking effect first, he decided to use this transmission on his own characteristic top S3.

With the newly developed gearbox, Zhang Wenhao flew to Chengdu and was on the final assembly line. Zhang Wenhao upgraded the hardware of the car's central control system, and further upgraded the "Haldex" four-wheel drive system, the central differential lock was designed and upgraded after the small two, with an extremely accurate measurement and control system, which can be based on the actual road conditions and the driving mode set by the user, and carry out the most scientific, accurate and reasonable distribution of the power of the four wheels. It also greatly enhances the passing capacity of the car.

S3A total of five driving modes are preset, road mode, grass mode, snow mode, sand mode and sports mode, different modes, gearbox and transmission system have different matching criteria, other car manufacturers may need to repeatedly test according to different road surfaces, to determine the best car parameters in each mode, but here in Zhang Wenhao, Xiao Er is a super accurate simulation computer, the results obtained by his test, absolutely the most accurate, the most scientific. …,

After the completion of the hardware part, Zhang Wenhao began to work on the creation of the human-vehicle interaction system, in order to realize the intelligent control of the car, Xiao Er developed two sets of human-vehicle interaction system mode, these two systems are A1 and A2, A1 is the interaction in the car, mainly the driver and the central control system to interact, but will not involve the Internet.

The driver can use language to give instructions to the car, through voice, the central control computer can control all the electronic parts of the car, for example, can switch the car's terrain mode, can activate or turn off the cruise, can turn on and off the air conditioner, DVD, radio, with the navigation module and built-in map information, can directly propose to the computer any services about the map, for example, where the next gas station is, how far away; where is the nearest restaurant; Or most directly, I'm going to go somewhere, how do I get there?

Drivers can even let a computer control the position and temperature of the seat under their buttocks, and in the case of the A1, a stand-alone system, it can control any electronic component of the car.

As for A2, that is the second step in the future to develop the human-computer interaction system, A2 will allow the car through the hardware terminal, the operator's service, access to the Internet, when the user has any non-car-related needs, the system will directly submit the user's questions to the server, the server will give a reply, and the server in the instruction library, will be unimaginably large, at that time, most of the driver's questions, A2 interactive system can give the most accurate and timely answers.

Zhang Wenhao immersed himself in Chengdu for ten days, when Xiao Er installed a CPU with a processor frequency of 2.0G into the S3 car, the two top customized versions of the S3 were finally completed, and this customized version of S3, the derivative model is S3C, C, which means custom, that is, the meaning of custom.

The first time the car came off the assembly line, Zhang Wenhao sat in a S3C, started the engine with one button, and the engine responded immediately, but the S3C in the idle and stationary state, from the sound, I couldn't hear anything different, and the full-length employees around him were waiting with bated breath, and Zhang Wenhao easily hung up the D gear, and then pressed the human-computer interaction button on the steering wheel.

"Ding."

The car stereo immediately gives a very crisp and short cue. This means that the A1 interaction system has been activated, and the driver can issue instructions at will.

The performance of this central control system is equivalent to a desktop computer with a configuration of 3,000 yuan, and it is a desktop computer that ignores the graphics card, but 90% of the processing power of this entire central control system is allocated to the A1 interactive system. Meaning, it's internal, only about the car's command library. It's unimaginably large.

"Switch to sport mode." Zhang Wenhao said softly.

Hidden in the roof compartment and in the driver's headrest, a total of four noise-canceling microphones can easily capture what Zhang Wenhao is saying, and even soft commands are immediately captured and in the blink of an eye. It was implemented.

"Switched to sport mode."

Zhang Wenhao said: "Play AC/DC "It'S-A-Long-Way-To-The-Top"

There are a large number of Zhang Wenhao's favorite songs in the car's 2TB hard disk, an order, no need to find them one by one, almost just milliseconds, the system did not give any impression of the audition prompt, AC/DC, the hard rock song was played through the car stereo.

Immediately, Zhang Wenhao released the brake pedal, and the car began to move slowly with idle speed, and slowly walked out of the plant, and Zhang Wenhao stepped on the accelerator pedal. Press the throttle down a third of the way at once, and because the car has been set to Sport mode, the throttle is very sensitive, and the idle speed of the engine is slightly increased. The car immediately gave a very drastic response!

The 2.5 twin-turbo power reaches a terrifying 420 horsepower, and the Porsche 4.8-liter Paramela is just that level, but under the effect of twin-turbocharging, this engine can reach a high load operation that ordinary engines simply cannot achieve. With a bang, the car flew out like an arrow from the string! …,

The 0-to-100 km/h acceleration time is just 4.3 seconds, which is already very rare for a medium-to-large two-row, four-door car, and the car's gearbox shift is unimaginably smooth, and the car's speed continues to climb, soon reaching 150 km/h.

At this time, the straight road in front of the factory has come to an end, Zhang Wenhao did not step on the brakes, just let go of the accelerator, and then rushed to the bend at high speed, when the car turned, the requirements for the transmission system and suspension were very high, the transmission system monitored the grip of the four wheels and the power distribution in real time, and the power distribution should be quickly changed according to the speed and angle of the turn, so that the vehicle could enter the corner at the fastest speed and with the most stable attitude, and could rush out of the corner at the fastest speed.

The top engine, the top four-wheel drive system, the top gearbox and the top power distribution mode, so that the car is still very stable in the case of high-speed cornering, the shape design gives the car more downforce, so that the car body is still stable in high-speed operation, Zhang Wenhao quickly out of the corner, and then immediately increase the throttle, the gearbox gear continues to climb, when reaching the sixth gear, the speed has reached 230 kilometers.

This is a big straight road with the same length as the entire factory, more than three kilometers long, Zhang Wenhao gradually stepped on the accelerator, and the car climbed to the seventh gear with a speed of 250 kilometers, and when it climbed to the eighth gear, the speed had reached 280 kilometers.

In the blink of an eye, he was about to reach the end of the straight, Zhang Wenhao stepped on the brakes, the car slowed down smoothly, and when the speed dropped to 150 kilometers, Zhang Wenhao entered the corner at high speed again.

When the car drove to the huge parking lot, Zhang Wenhao stopped the car, his chest gushed with blood, and blurted out: "Xiao Er, if this car is not sold for 1.3 million, I am a fool!" That's pretty far beyond my positioning of S3 for a maximum of $700,000."

Xiao Er smiled: "Boss, don't forget that this car is S3C, the top version of the characteristics, we will only use a 6-speed gearbox and a 2.5 single-turbocharged engine in mass production S3, and the four-wheel drive system will not be positioned so high-end, your S3C, change the shell, change the chassis a little, and it can be regarded as S4." ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and said with a smile: "Launch such S3C to authoritative media, let them see our high-end manufacturing capabilities first, the top eight-speed gearbox, unparalleled four-wheel drive transmission system, enough to make consumers surprised, first use S3 to lay a gimmick, not only can consumers have an amazing psychology of Dongchen, but also can make them look forward to more high-end models of Dongchen." ”

Xiao Er smiled slightly. Said: "People all over the world like cars are the same, even if he drives a car of 30,000 yuan, he will pay attention to those performance cars of more than 3 million, high-performance cars are indeed a reflection of the overall manufacturing power, our mid-range S3C can be said to be the peak, if the next step is to launch S4, or even S4C." I'm afraid that supercars all over the world will be scared by us. ”

Xiao Er said, couldn't help but think about it, and said, "Boss." Think about it, if the next 3.0-liter, V6 engine is produced, what level of power will it reach? What about the 4.0, 4.5 and 4.8-liter V8 engines? What about V12 engines above 6.0? I guess by then. If companies like Ferrari and Rambo want to survive, they have to buy engines from Dongchen, and their engines are too weak and weak compared to ours. ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded and smiled, and said: "When the time comes, all performance cars will fall off the altar, and at that time, our only competitor will be luxury cars." Luxury cars are fighting for the brand heritage, and I'm afraid that it won't reach that level for a while and a half. ”

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Er said: "We have too many high-end technologies that others don't have, and if we realize it a little bit, luxury cars will one day be killed by Dongchen." ”…,

Zhang Wenhao nodded. He ravaged this S3C for about two hours, and after basically eating the characteristics of this car, Zhang Wenhao said: "Now it's time to contact foreign media, Xiao Er, do you think it's better for us to enter "Top-Gear" first, or "Famous Car Chronicles"?" ”

"It has to be Top-Gear!" Xiao Er blurted out: "They are in the form of TV shows. The visual effect can be the best, the visual impact is definitely not reflected in the magazine with pictures and texts, and, a few years ago, those three fucking guys just came to China, the Chinese car seems to be sarcastic, this time we must use a provocative attitude to let them test S3C freely, they will not refuse this good opportunity to 'humiliate' Chinese cars, when the time comes, they will definitely make them completely dumbfounded! With the negative foreshadowing they did before, once S3C debuts through their show, it will inevitably shock the world. ”

Zhang Wenhao pondered for a moment and said, "Then contact S3C immediately." ”

In the latest episode of "Top-Gear", when it came to the news session, the host Jeremy Clarkson sat on the sofa and said with a cheap smile: "A few years ago, we went to China, I think everyone has seen that episode, although our program has not authorized any TV program in China to broadcast, but Chinese netizens have also seen our episode of the program through various channels, and their reactions, I think I don't need to say, you also know." ”

After that, Jeremy Clarkson laughed cheaply and said: "I think since that time, I have become a British guy in the minds of the Chinese, but it doesn't matter, I think no matter which country, the most important thing is to face their own shortcomings, I say that Chinese cars are not good, just like others say that British food is shit, objective, and fair." ”

Richard Hammond, who sat across from him, quipped: "Come on Jeremy, the Chinese are not the kind of people who will humbly accept criticism, and they will think: 'Wow, this damn British, don't stay in your own home, you have to come to our territory to sarcastically mock us.'" ”

Jeremy took over the conversation and laughed: "You're right, Charlid, that's why I had to leave China overnight after recording the show, otherwise I'm really afraid that if I leak the news, the angry Chinese will surround Yanjing Airport and then drag me off the plane and beat me up." ”

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, at this time, Jeremy's expression was a little more serious, and said: "Back to the topic, a few days ago, our program team received a 'war letter' from a new Chinese car manufacturer, of course, the 'war letter' is what I said, their original text is: We now have a new model that is enough to make Jeremy and the other two hosts thoroughly admire Chinese cars, please ask the "Top-Gear" program team, whether you are willing to be invited to China again to test this new model freely. ”

There was a burst of disbelief at the scene, but most of them were disdainful, and at this time, James May on the other side asked with a surprised face: "Jeremy, which Chinese car manufacturer dares to say such arrogant words?" ”

Jeremy smiled: "This manufacturer is really interesting, their name is Dongchen, the trademark is a D and a C, and they bought Woerwo from Jili a few days ago." ”

"Oh my God!" Charried laughed and said: "I think I know, they must have replaced the S80, which is no longer sellable, with a shell, and then re-taken it out as their own product, right?" ”

Jeremy quipped, "How do I know, it's the first time I've heard about the company." As he spoke, he faced the camera and said, "However, since Dongchen Motors is so bold, we have also decided to gladly accept the invitation to conduct a comprehensive test of their new model to prove how correct our previous views on Chinese cars are." ”

Saying that, Jeremy paused, and said: "However, we are not going to go to China again, after all, China does not even have a decent test site, we have already agreed with Volkswagen, they will lend us their test site in Dresden with a cumulative track length of 110 kilometers, the leaders of Dongchen Company, please listen to what I am going to say next, before next Wednesday, please be sure to contact our program team, and air ship your new model to Dresden, Germany, at that time, We will once again show the world the strength of the so-called Chinese automobiles. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
