320 km? 10,000 revolutions?

The three people in charge were stunned when they heard this data, in their opinion, the top speed can reach 320 kilometers of the car, it used to be a standard sports car, the top speed of 320 kilometers, 10,000 rpm, also represents this data, not a six-speed gearbox can easily support it, today's ten-speed gearbox is not mature, so, eight-speed must be the standard configuration for this data.

However, what makes the three managers question mark is that this S3 made in China dares to call for a top speed of 320 kilometers relying on a 2.5 twin-turbo engine?

Jeremy said with a look of disbelief: "I think one-third of the speed and rpm of this car are false standards, they just add a little more space to the speedometer and tachometer, and the actual data can't reach such a high level." ”

"I think so too." The other two managers hugged their shoulders and looked at the S3 on the test bench with a serious face, at this moment, James Mehin held his chin and suddenly said: "But I have a foresight for no reason, I think this car should make our eyes shine." ”

Charried nodded and said: "In terms of appearance alone, I have to admit that this car once made me cold, but, a good shape, only a talented designer can be completed, but good functions, but it requires years of precipitation and excellent research and development talents, I still don't have too much hope for the function of this car, maybe you still remember the South Korean Hyundai T run, the shape of the car, at a glance is also quite bluffing." But in practice, its functionality is simply too weak. ”

Jeremy pursed his lips and said, "Let's wait and see." ”

After waiting for about two minutes, the engineer on the test bench had completed the connection of the equipment, and then an engineer standing next to the hood said to the people below: "It was ready, ready to supply oil." ”

The test was not done with the S3's own fuel, but after engineers changed the supply pipe. Controlled by an accurate fuel transfer pump underneath the test bench, it can control the oil volume to an accuracy measured in cubic millimeters.

As soon as the engineer finished speaking, the engineer below turned on the fuel pump. At the same time, the engineers on stage were also starting the S3's engine.

The engine starts and is in an idle shape. It revs 800 and makes less than 20 horsepower.

Zhang Wenhao stood under the test bench with his shoulders crossed, sneering in his heart, these British people who look down on people, later, I will let you see what is the top industrial strength.

"Increase the oil supply!"

At the command of the person in charge of the laboratory, the fuel supply of the fuel transfer pump was continuously added at the end, and at this time, the engine speed gradually slowed down at the end. The gearbox also shifts automatically at the end.

“！” The three people in charge who were staring at the data display screen were shocked by the first data presented, and said in unison: "So fast? How?! ”

On the screen, the shift speed column shows 130 milliseconds, which is just the gearbox from first gear to second gear. The amount of time it takes to completely shift gears.

"How can it?!" Everyone is exclaiming, this shift speed is unbelievable, Bugatti Veil's shift speed has reached the extreme, and it takes 150 milliseconds to complete, but this "Chinese" domestic S3. After all, what kind of gearbox is equipped so that it can complete the shift in 130 milliseconds?! Not to mention anything else, this gearbox alone can once be called top-notch!

The people in charge didn't even have time to discuss the staggering statistic, and then the shift process of the display changed.

127 milliseconds! …,

Everyone feels that their minds are confused for a while, how can they be?! 2nd gear into 3rd gear, it only took 127 milliseconds!

Because the engine power and revs rise so fast, the gearbox shifts very frequently, and when they are shocked by the first data, they focus on the shift and forget to look at the other data.

When the gearbox was shifted to 7th gear, the shift speed was constantly between 125 milliseconds and 130 milliseconds, which was very average, and James May deliberately looked at other data and exclaimed, "My God! The engine now has 370 horsepower! The engine revs at 8500 rpm! ”

"What?!" Others involuntarily looked at other data on the display, and the data showed that the current engine speed of the S3 had reached 8700! The horsepower continued to climb to 380!

Immediately after, the revs reached 9,000 rpm in the blink of an eye, and the input power reached a frightening 390 hp!

At this time, the gearbox smoothly enters the last gear, the eighth gear! This extremely thin metal beast has come to the end of the final stage of the sprint!

9300 rpm, 9500 rpm, 9800 rpm, 10000 rpm!

10050 rpm!

"I can't believe it, I really can't believe it's true!" Jeremy looked at the screen stupidly and blurted out: "The engine speed of this car used to be off the charts, and now, it has reached 10,300 rpm, which I never dreamed of, and the revs are still increasing, horsepower, once reached a panic of 420 horsepower!" For God's sake, who's going to tell me why?! There's no reason for that! You must know that this car is equipped with a 2.5-liter L4 engine! Four-cylinder engine!! For a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, this statistic is simply perverted to the limit! ”

And at this time, the engine rev has reached its highest speed, and the gearbox has reached the top gear, which can no longer be changed at this moment, and the overall input power of the car is constantly maintained at 420 horsepower, which is unbelievable, in this high rev situation, the engine roar is not distorted, it is still a low and powerful roar, but the sound is never too loud to be unbearable.

No one would have imagined that a 2.5-liter engine could run such data. Even though it has a twin-turbo boost, it is about 100 to 120 horsepower higher than ordinary cars with the same configuration, which is equivalent to an increase of about 35 percent, this kind of shock, as if everyone was used to Bugatti's top speed of 434 km/h, but suddenly one day, a devil appeared in front of him that can reach a top speed of 600 km/h

“onster！” Jeremy exclaimed, "Monster! It's a complete monster!! ”

Volkswagen's engineers were also completely dumbfounded. They never dreamed that one day, a Chinese-made engine could reach such a terrifying level. This is beyond the highest level in the world, and far more than that! Leave no stone unturned! In this world, no matter who builds a 2.5-liter engine. can't reach such a perverted high level, what the hell is going on? Can anyone explain when the engine of China has been improved by such a huge amount?

The "this is not superstitious" engine is still running at top speed, and Charried. Hammond shook his head blankly, and said to himself: "This is not in line with superstitious logic at all, the strength of this engine is nearly twice as strong as I estimated!" The 3.8-liter Porsche 911 is also a loser in front of it, and I don't know what these Volkswagen engineers will think at the moment, and I don't know when we get this episode aired. What kind of opinion will the car manufacturers all over the world have, but I only know one thing, they have a lot of trouble! ”…,

The S3's engine lasted about half an hour at high speed before Volkswagen's engineers stopped supplying fuel. The engine gradually stopped, and as soon as the engine stopped, several Volkswagen engineers strode up, and discussed in German around the hood of the car. He also strode over to hear what these people were discussing, and the gang didn't notice that Zhang Wenhao had left behind him.

At this point, an engineer measured the size of the engine with a ruler and blurted out, "Unbelievable, It is ten percent smaller than the size of the ordinary 2.5-liter L4 engine, which means that they have made the cylinder wall the thinnest on the basis of ensuring that the displacement remains the same, oh my God, such a thin cylinder wall, and using twin-turbo to push the horsepower, just after half an hour of running at top speed, there is no achievement at all, even if it is replaced by our best material, under such a strong load, it will not reach 10,000 rpm, and the engine will burst. "Materials!" Another engineer said: "The central achievement must be in the material, the Chinese must have developed a new type of high-pressure resistant material, otherwise, ordinary materials can not bear such a high load." ”

"What about the gearbox?!" Another person blurted out: "I think the gearbox used in this car must be very high-end, high-end beyond our imagination, its function is so good, the torque is amplified to the extreme, and the shift is unbelievably smooth, the most unbelievable thing is its gear speed, which is outrageous!" ”

"I can't see the gearbox." One person sighed: "It would be nice if I could take it apart and take a look, there is no doubt that this eight-speed gearbox is much stronger than our eight-speed gearbox." ”

At this time, Zhang Wenhao said in proficient German: "A few gentlemen, the onlookers are almost the same, right?" Isn't it time for us to stop road testing? ”

These German engineers did not seem to be sensible, and a bearded guy with thick telescopes blurted out: "This gentleman, can you leave this car for us to learn?" ”

Zhang Wenhao couldn't help laughing out loud and asked, "Are you crazy?" This kind of central secret, will we let other manufacturers touch it at will? ”

The man hurriedly said: "But your car will be put on the market sooner or later, and we can buy it at a high price!" And we're just trying to learn and won't touch your central technology. ”

Zhang Wenhao smiled: "I'm sorry, if you really want it, then I'll buy one after the listing." ”

At this moment, the person in charge of Top-Gear also reacted from the shock, Jeremy faced the camera, as if he had lost his soul, and said: "It seems that this time I really want to say the previous words, although I have not seen the practical performance of this car on the road, but its transmission system alone, once surrendered me, we were going to test two cars this time, one is this S3, the other is Audi's latest top version of the A7, I am ready to test the two cars separately at the end." Since I think these two cars are not comparable at all, the A7 will be much stronger than the domestic S3, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the power function of this car is stronger than the A7! ”

Speaking of this, Jeremy's expression became very resolute, and he said: "I must let this car compete with the A7 on the road." Looking at the overall functionality of this car, how much can it surpass the A7 after all. ”

James May on the side has a soft spot for A7, at this time. He couldn't help but cover up the A7 and blurted out: "Jeremy, this car is just a little more powerful than the A7." However, there are too many situations to be touched on in road tests, first of all, the driving mode, do you think the driving mode of this car will be stronger than the Audi four-wheel drive system? ”…,

Jeremy frowned and asked, "James, are you kidding me?" Is it a little more powerful than the A7? The 3.0 supercharged engine of the A7 has a maximum power of only 310 horsepower! And this car, a full 110 horsepower higher than it, still uses a 2.5 engine, and. Its gearbox is much more powerful than the A7's seven-speed gearbox! ”

James May was also a little weak in her heart, but she still said: "I think the overall strength of the A7 will not be much worse than this car." After all, the A7 uses Audi's housekeeping four-wheel drive system, and the level of tuning is also world-class. ”

Charried on the side. Hammond said: "You two don't need to argue, in my opinion, let the two of you drive the A7 and this S3 to stop and compare them later." ”

"No, no, no." James May shook her head and said, "The two of us drive different cars to compare. There won't be a comparison, you know Jeremy's driving skills are much better than mine, I think this obligation is still going to be handed over to our captive test driver, Stig, let him feel it and see which of the two cars is stronger! ”

Volkswagen's engineers were not very happy to remove the S3 from the test bench, for them, this car just on the test platform highlighted a lot of eye-catching high-end features, but because the other party did not give them the opportunity to further understand in detail, after all, Dongchen Automobile is here to talk to Top-Gear, not to send the car to the public to learn and observe.

Jeremy strode up to Long Xiaoyue at this time, and said with a look of shame: "Miss Long, I didn't expect your Dongchen Automobile's manufacturing strength to reach such a high level, just the power part of this car, I was convinced, you may know, I have always been known for my poisonous tongue, but I will never deny the objective ideal, the power function of this S3 is a very great innovative technology, I think, don't wait until the end of the show, I now solemnly issue my previous words about the "Chinese" national automobile. ”

Long Xiaoyue smiled quietly and said, "I hope our S3 can bring you more surprises in the follow-up tests." ”

Jeremy also nodded and said, "I'm waiting too." ”

Zhang Wenhao's mind has slightly changed his opinion of Jeremy, the open-mouthed old British hooligan, although this guy has a very damaged mouth, but he is also realistic, look at his attitude, it is clear that he has been impressed by the power function of S3, but in other words, after seeing this series of data, who can not be convinced?

This is also the most fundamental reason why Zhang Wenhao decided to go to Top-Gear first, he wants to submit everyone in this program group, and then submit the world through this global blazing car show.

As a rule, the initial testing of the Top-Gear car is done by the person in charge, and then they will let their captive professional driver Stig come forward to test, and Jeremy has a relatively strong interest in this S3, so he automatically asked Ying to test this incredible car himself.

Zhang Wenhao, as Long Xiaoyue's assistant, told Jeremy many characteristics of the car before Jeremy prepared to test the car, for example, the fastest speed into the bend can reach about 160, but for the sake of safety, the speed of entering the S-bend should not be higher than 150, assuming it is a U-bend, the speed should not exceed 100 kilometers.

Even this advice, but also Jeremy shocked, he would never dare to drive such a large car in the high-speed situation of more than 100 kilometers per hour into the corner, because the chassis of this kind of car is light, the grip is also small, high-speed cornering is easy to have an accident, and he does not know what kind of standard the four-wheel drive function of this car can reach after all, fast into the corner is worried that there will be an accident.

Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "You can keep trying to enter the corner faster, for example, if you enter the corner at 60 kilometers, the car is still very bumpy, then you can try 70, to 70, the same, keep increasing." ”

Speaking, Zhang Wenhao said: "This car is equipped with Dongchen's self-developed A1 human-car interaction system, in addition to driving talent, for any other control of the car, you can basically issue instructions through dialogue, and the car will also be executed in the first effort, you can also put forward some of my own requirements, such as letting her keep cruising when she reaches a specified speed, or maybe send a warning when it is higher than a certain speed and below a certain speed, anyway, as long as it is related to this car, you can put it forward." ”

Jeremy exclaimed and asked, "Is it equivalent to Siri on the IP?" ”

Zhang Wenhao smiled: "Believe me, she is much stronger than Siri." (To be continued)
