For the three old British hooligans of Top-Gear, they have read countless cars, all the models in the world that can reach their ears, they have all tested, have a deep understanding, and have a very accurate grasp of the characteristics of various models, brands, and even the automobile industry of various countries, in their eyes, although China has become the world's largest country, but the Chinese car market can be said to be a battlefield of world giants, the world's major automobile production giants are fighting each other in China, but, This fight in the Chinese market is the only one without the participation of Chinese.

China's state-owned brands basically do not have any influence abroad, especially in developed countries, some of China's larger low-end car manufacturers, may export their cars to third world countries and developing countries, but can enter the developed country market, very few, this is entirely due to China's own backward car production strength, coupled with almost every international giant in China to set up factories, the establishment of joint venture production lines, which makes China's local car brands more difficult.

It is precisely with this preconceived view that the three hosts of Top-Gear did not pay attention to Dongchen's invitation, but treated it as a joke.

Volkswagen has a very good relationship with Top-Gear, and their super test site in Dresden has been used by the Top-Gear program team more than once, and Top-Gear has tested a number of supercars including Bugatti Veil, Pagani, Ferrari Enzo, one77 and other supercars on this test site, this time. The reason why they invited Dongchen Automobile to send the prototype car to the Dresden test site is to use the most comprehensive test to disgrace Dongchen Automobile who is not afraid of tigers.

Zhang Wenhao also saw this episode of the show from the Internet for the first time, and what made him laugh and cry was that these British guys really looked down on people, and they didn't even officially reply to their emails, but Jeremy gave a verbal reply in the show. And this answer also made Zhang Wenhao a little surprised, they were unwilling to come to China, but to go to Dresden for a test drive?

This is exactly what Zhang Wenhao wants. There is really no real test site in China, and most of the test sites are very simple, and can only test ordinary vehicles. However, for the kind of supercar, it is simply impossible to achieve a comprehensive test, such as Bugatti Veil, this kind of car can reach a top speed of 434 kilometers per hour, but it is not easy to run at this speed, first of all, the biggest need is to have an absolutely long enough, absolutely superb road conditions of the straight track, the length of this track, may need to exceed ten kilometers.

in the Chinese market. Joint venture cars are tested abroad, and domestic cars are far from supercars, even if someone pays to build a super perfect test site, it will not play any substantial role in the end, since Top-Gear asked Dongchen to Dresden this time. Then you have to prepare yourself and surprise them.

Zhang Wenhao immediately contacted the Top-Gear program team, and after agreeing to the other party's invitation, the other party immediately gave an official reply, asking Zhang Wenhao to submit the car model, parameters and all-round photos, and then agreed to next Monday. Arrival in Dresden.

In order to maintain a sense of mystery, Zhang Wenhao only gave the other party S3C model, displacement and car size, and did not provide the other party with other performance data and photos, and the other party did not really care about this, after the two parties confirmed the agreement, Zhang Wenhao began to prepare to go to Dresden related matters.

Zhang Wenhao doesn't have a passport, but it doesn't matter, Nie Minhui helped Zhang Wenhao get a passport and helped Zhang Wenhao get a visa within 24 hours, and he was accompanied by Long Xiaoyue, Zhang Wenhao was still not ready to really show up, but let Long Xiaoyue appear as the CEO of Dongchen Group, in addition to the two of them, there were six technicians with him. …,

The special S3C, in the accurate simulation calculation of Xiao Er, can run out of the limit speed of 330 kilometers, of course, this limit speed requires excellent weather conditions, excellent road conditions to be achieved, after all, the chassis and aerodynamic shape of this car, is still an ordinary car positioned in the mid-range market, once you want to run out of a higher speed, every part of the car, need to be changed.

On the S3C's speedometer, the top speed is only 320 kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed reaches 10,000 rpm, this is because the engine made of new materials can carry higher loads, and its healthy load can reach an astonishing 9,000 rpm.

The only two prototype cars were loaded into special containers, and they set off immediately, first by rail transportation, and sent the two cars and related accessories to Yanjing, and then, Zhang Wenhao contacted UPS International Logistics in Yanjing, and at a high price of one million yuan, one of the cars was transported to Dresden by air, and the other car was waiting in place, ready to be sent to the United States, and handed over to the "Famous Car Journal" for testing.

At this time, the comments about Dongchen on the domestic Internet have exploded!

Most netizens still remember the episode when Top-Gear came to China to do it, and this show was reprinted a lot on Weibo, whether it was a car or not, netizens have watched the video of that show, and although they were holding back their hearts for Top-Gear's three Brits' original remarks, they were basically true, so they were also very helpless.

Now, what they didn't expect was that a Chinese auto company took the initiative to challenge Top-Gear to hand over its new models to Top-Gear for all-round testing, and to prove the strength of Chinese auto manufacturing, which shocked netizens.

Although netizens know that Vorvo has been acquired by a domestic automobile company called Dongchen, but because Dongchen Automobile is just starting out and has not yet launched any model, everyone does not have any hope for this brand, thinking that their purchase of Vorvo is an unjust behavior, but this time, Dongchen actually said that he wants to formally compete with Top-Gear, although most netizens are skeptical. But there is also great concern about this matter.

It's a pity that so far, dozens of domestic media want to interview the person in charge of Dongchen Automobile, but all of them have been refused, and the low-key and mysterious nature of Dongchen Automobile has further increased consumers' curiosity about this brand.

Sunday morning. Zhang Wenhao and his entourage of eight people boarded the plane at Yanjing Airport, they boarded a Lufthansa Boeing 787, and all eight of them were in first class. However, no one knew that these eight people had anything to do with Dongchen, and one of their S3Cs had already flown to Germany in the early morning via UPS's 747 freighter.

After a nine-hour flight. The plane arrived in Munich, Germany, and immediately afterwards, Zhang Wenhao and others changed to another medium-sized plane to fly to Dresden, and after nearly two hours of flight again, the plane finally landed in Dresden.

The relevant staff of the Top-Gear program team have been waiting at the airport for about two hours, and the first thing Zhang Wenhao and the others did after getting off the plane was to contact UPS, pick up the container that had landed, and then meet with the waiting Top-Gear program team staff, and directly load the container into a large flatbed trailer and transport it directly to the test site.

Originally. The logistics director of the Top-Gear program team originally strongly asked Dongchen's staff to take the car out of the container and drive it onto the trailer, but Zhang Wenhao was not ready to unveil the mystery of S3C on this occasion, so he paid out of his own pocket and hired a crane from the airport. Only then was the container loaded onto the car.

The Top-Gear program team was very annoyed by Dongchen Automobile's trickery, but because Zhang Wenhao paid out of his own pocket, they could not make any protests, so they could only inform the program team of the situation in the test site, and then told the program team to be ready to shoot at any time, and they must shoot the whole process of the car from arrival to final unpacking. Let's take a look at what level is behind the Chinese's trickery. …,

Zhang Wenhao and his entourage got on a medium-sized bus under the arrangement of the program team, and the bus was towed one step to the test site, and there happened to be a Chinese translator prepared by the program team for the program, named Liu Zhaoji.

Liu Zhaoji has been working in the Top-Gear column group, he is proficient in three languages, Chinese, English and German, so basically when there is a need for this language, he will act as a translator during the filming of the show, and he has always been very interested in this new start-up Dongchen Automobile, as soon as Zhang Wenhao and others were brought into the car, he said in Chinese to Long Xiaoyue, who appeared as the CEO of Dongchen Group: "Miss Long, now is not the time for the recording of the program, but I am personally very curious about Dongchen Automobile, Can I ask you a few questions? ”

Long Xiaoyue glanced at Zhang Wenhao, and saw that Zhang Wenhao did not object, so he said, "You may ask." ”

Liu Zhaoji smiled and said: "Now, all the Top-Gear viewers already know that Dongchen Automobile has challenged the Top-Gear program team, trying to use a model to break the previous three hosts' views on Chinese cars in the program group, I don't know if you have such confidence in this trip?" ”

Long Xiaoyue smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Of course we are confident, we came all the way to Germany to win glory for our Dongchen Automobile, not to smear our face, if we are not fully sure, we cannot take the initiative to contact the Top-Gear program team." ”

Liu Zhaoji nodded, smiled indifferently, and said: "Personally, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, I naturally hope that Dongchen Automobile can impress the world this time, but, with all due respect, I personally am not very hopeful, although the Top-Gear program is very authoritative, but it is very personalized, all the views of the program group are freely expressed by our three hosts, so if you want them to really admit defeat and retract their previous evaluation of Chinese cars, I guess the car you sent is at least close to the 2.8 naturally aspirated Audi A6 in terms of performance, are you sure about that? ”

Long Xiaoyue glanced at Zhang Wenhao and said to Liu Zhaoji: "For specific questions about the performance of the car, you can ask my assistant Mr. Zhang Wenhao." ”

Zhang Wenhao had agreed with Long Xiaoyue before he came, this time when he came to Germany, she was the CEO, and she was just acting as her assistant, when Long Xiaoyue could not answer the question of the specific parameters of the car, she moved Zhang Wenhao out.

Liu Zhaoji opened his mouth and asked Zhang Wenhao, "Mr. Zhang, can you tell me your opinion?" ”

Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "The car we sent this time is 2.5 twin-turbo, compared with the 2.8 naturally aspirated Audi A6, it is a bit of a victory." ”

Liu Zhaoji heard the confidence in Zhang Wenhao's words, and asked with a smile: "Then what do you think your car can compete with on the market?" Refers to performance alone. ”

Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "Purely looking at the power parameters, our model is comparable to the A8, however, the specific still depends on the facts, so after the test is completed, I think you should be able to draw a more objective conclusion." ”

Liu Zhaoji slandered in his heart, these people are really arrogant, and if they use the Vorvo platform to build a 2.5T car, they will take it out and compare it with the A8? I'm afraid that these people in Dongchen are still unclear in their hearts, Top-Gear has long made a certain analysis and speculation on Dongchen, and everyone agrees that this time the model sent by Dongchen must be a facelift of Vorvo S80, Even if it is 2.5 twin-turbo, its strength should be comparable to the 3.0T Woerwo S80L, if the overall performance of this car is close to S80, or even lower than S80, then the program team will definitely seize the fact that they inherited Woerwo, and lashed out at it, if it exceeds S80L a little, it must not represent the real strength of Chinese cars, after all, they use Woerwo's platform.

Zhang Wenhao doesn't care about this, the reason why he has been concealing the S3C model and detailed performance parameters, in order to surprise the Top-Gear British, their expectations for this car are comparable to S80L, but, S80L compared with S3C, it is simply weak, not to mention that it is worse than S3C more than 100 horsepower, just that the most advanced eight-speed gearbox, is the height that Woerwo has never reached, not to mention, S3C has a greatly upgraded four-wheel drive system, but, The less I say now, the better, and when the test begins, everything will be left to the facts. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
