After Jin Xiaoqiang's explanation, these foreign reporters finally understood the best part of this fire war horse.

In the eyes of consumers and engineers in Europe and the United States, where the car culture is developed, the key to the car is nothing more than three places, one is the engine, one is the transmission, and the other is the chassis.

And now the engine of this fire war horse, there is no need to say much, because it has proven his strength on the track, and after Jin Xiaoqiang explained the chassis of this car in detail, these foreign reporters will be able to understand the strength of this car even more.

Over the years, people have been constantly researching the car engine, and the development of engine technology is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the peak power and torque that the engine can provide to the car are also increasing.

However, with the great increase in the horsepower of the engine, people have also found that the peak power of the engine of the car is greater, and the car is more and more difficult to drive, which is because of the high power brought by the high-horsepower engine, after the transmission is converted into torque output, the wheels will slip on the road because of the high speed.

Therefore, how to better balance the contradiction between high-horsepower engine and handling has become a difficult problem for chassis engineers in a large automobile company.

At the same time, this is also the place where the chassis engineer skills are most tested, and Jin Xiaoqiang was originally known as a genius in the automotive design industry, and he was in the shape design of the car. As well as engine design, as well as chassis design, there are things that he is commendable.

And in recent years. Some of the models he designed have also won quite a good reputation in the market.

But in the field of high-end luxury cars and supercars, he has not yet proven himself, and this time he brought the fire war horse, which undoubtedly became the best proof that he is really a master of car design.

A 550-horsepower locomotive, under the control of such a chassis. To be able to complete the record-breaking lap at the New North circuit in such a perfect way is indeed a great result for any designer in his twenties.

The chassis of this car, even in front of discerning experts, is speechless, and many journalists are aware of this, so the problem has begun to turn.

The focus of this switch is, of course, no surprise. Fell to the last noteworthy centerpiece of this fiery warhorse.

"So. Mr. Kim, can you now tell us about the gearbox used in your Flame Warhorse? ”

An American reporter then asked Jin Xiaoqiang about it, apparently this fire war horse. has been put under the magnifying glass by these guys, and every detail of him is what these reporters pay attention to.

Jin Xiaoqiang is not in a hurry. began to explain to the group slowly.

Velocity! These two words may not be the whole story of supercars, but they must be the supremacy of designing and building supercars.

A powerful engine is a good start for a supercar that wants to leave others behind, and then a "nimble" transmission is a good start if you want to kill time.

And this. It is also the key to determining the victory or defeat of those tenths of a second.

The advanced supercar has begun to slowly enter the 8-cylinder. The great era of the rebirth of 10-cylinder, 12-cylinder, and even 16-cylinder monsters, and in order to deal with these horsepower monsters, the designers of supercars generally feel a lot of headaches when choosing a transmission that matches such a horsepower monster. …,

Because in order to work more perfectly with such an engine, there will be many demanding requirements for transmissions in the selection of transmissions.

For example, the transmission efficiency, response speed, reliability, lightweight, perfect control system and many other conditions of the transmission are indispensable, it can be said that the supercar has more stringent requirements for the transmission than Sister Feng's mate selection conditions.

Don't look at the more and more popular models of automatic transmissions on the market now, but in the world of supercars, manual transmissions will always be the mainstream, even if it is a sports car worth tens of millions, his terminal transmission will still use a manual transmission.

Because the manual transmission can better combine the driver and the supercar, it can make the driver more vividly experience the thrill of driving the monster under the butt under their own control to roar forward, and they can feel this sense of control in more detail.

Therefore, this fire war horse also uses a manual transmission without exception.

In fact, for Jin Xiaoqiang, this is also a logical thing, you must know that in the previous life, in order to find a suitable transmission for this engine to match, Ford was also very troubled.

After all, the horsepower of the 5.4L V8 engine of the Shelby Viper is too strong, and he is capable of outputting 550 horsepower at the same time, it can also output 691 Nm of peak torque, and the average transmission can withstand a torque of 400 to 500 Nm, which is already remarkable, not to mention that this is 691 Nm of super torque!

If you can't find a transmission that can withstand such high torque, then even if Ford's engine is good, it will be useless.

In the end, in order to find the perfect match, Ford's SVT was also a thousand choices, and finally from thousands of competitors, the famous American transmission design company TTC, its highest-end product TREMECTR-6060 to form a perfect combination with their 5.4L V8 monster.

Regarding this transmission, in his last life, Jin Xiaoqiang was helping a prince in the capital to disassemble and repair it, and when he was lying on the road because of improper driving, Shelby, he had studied this transmission very deeply.

So there is a very full understanding of this transmission, the highest-end model of this TREMEC, the TR-6060 transmission, but TTC company, at the invitation of Ford SVT, at the end of 2006, began to design a transmission for the Ford Mustang Shelby.

You must know that before this, although TTC has many products, there are not many transmissions that can cope with 690 Nm of torque.

In order to work perfectly with Shelby's engine, TTC's engineering team, along with Ford's SVT team, ate and slept together, and worked in this Shelby's R&D plant for three months before finally coming up with this super TREMECTR-6060 transmission that can withstand up to 810 Nm of torque.

I have to say that the technical background of the Americans is really profound, if it is changed to the Celestial Empire, let alone come up with such a transmission within three months, I am afraid that even if we are given three years, we will be able to make such a powerful transmission.

And when this transmission is paired with the 5.4L V8 engine, it also plays a very perfect role, making the performance of the whole car even better.

It's a pity that in this life, TTC has no chance to make such a transmission, because such an excellent transmission is destined to be born in the hands of Jin Xiaoqiang in this life.

It can be said that Jin Xiaoqiang is another shameless copy of the American engineer this time, and indeed these guys have done a really good job, if it weren't for their kind of unbridled creativity, Jin Xiaoqiang may have thought that people would optimize the transmission like this. …,

Of course, this transmission actually appeared on the Qoros pickup truck they sold a long time ago, but what appeared at that time was a junior version, and it had not been optimized by Jin Xiaoqiang's second time.

It is also a manual transmission, but the manual transmission of an ordinary family car has only one difference compared to the transmission of such a supercar.

If you have to explain this difference very thoroughly, it can be said that the transmission of a supercar is compared to that of an ordinary family car, regardless of the cost.

The internal gnawing gear of the manual transmission of ordinary family cars is basically based on helical cylindrical gears.

The teeth of this gear are at an angle to the gear axis, and this tooth shape can make the teeth gradually participate in the meshing, rather than suddenly all of them mesh, so the noise during the meshing operation should also be smaller.

However, it also has disadvantages: due to the helical teeth, it will produce axial thrust when meshing, which also requires special bearings to bear this axial load, and due to the large meshing area, it also increases the wear of the gear.

The gears used in the manual transmission of supercars are straight cylindrical gears, which increase the strength of the gears in this form of full contact of the tooth surfaces, but also cause noise when the gears are meshed.

But at the same time, his transmission efficiency will be much better than that of ordinary helical cylindrical gears, which can make the vehicle obtain greater power on wheels.

And in order to ensure that this transmission can have better transmission efficiency, the American designers also redesigned the density of the gear ratio, and in order to meet the shorter shift stroke, they also carried out a new optimization design of the whole set of control structure.

It's just that in this life, these designs have all been recorded on Jin Xiaoqiang's head, and the famous TR-6060 transmission has also become another masterpiece of Jin Xiaoqiang in the field of transmission......

And in order to reduce friction and control noise, as well as strengthen the strength of the gear, etc., Jin Xiaoqiang also used very hard special steel to manufacture such a gear at any cost, and after the wheel is formed, a layer of special mineral powder will be coated on the surface of the gear to increase the friction resistance coefficient of the gear and reduce the noise.

The already excellent TR-6060 transmission has been optimized by Jin Xiaoqiang again, and the highest torque is 810 Nm, and the torque has even increased to 880 Nm.
