This Midnight Sun turned out to be from the team that specializes in building supercars in Spain: IFR!

The main responsibility of this team is to design the new shape of the car, and the body structure, but in terms of the powertrain for the car, they do not have that much ability, you must know that the development of a powertrain suitable for supercars is not a team of only a dozen people can do it.

So they can only go around looking for some manufacturers who are willing to provide them with powertrains to cooperate, and then design new body structure systems according to the powertrains provided by others.

Back then, they searched and searched, and only found that BMW could provide them with a suitable powertrain system, and the heart of that powertrain was nothing more than a 4.4L V8 engine that BMW had played badly.

And the data of this engine, to be honest, is just a general road goods, and the highest peak power output is only 440 horsepower.

In order to cater to the concept of supercar, in order to be able to use such an engine and run faster, IFR can only work the body structure, they use a large number of hard aluminum alloy structure, especially in the chassis, but also use the chassis of all-aluminum alloy components, so that the weight of the vehicle has dropped to only 990kg, which is less than a ton.

It is precisely because of this lightweight reason that this car can run 100 kilometers and accelerate in three seconds under the 4.4L engine power of the old V8.

But this is a supercar after all, if even if your body mechanism is very strong because of the special design and the use of special materials, it can ensure that the car will not deform during intense driving.

But is it true that the lighter the weight of the car, the better?

It is true that in this day and age, the lighter the body, the faster and more fuel-efficient the car will be. But what about the effect of the air on such a fast car soaking on the road?

You must know that many car designers nowadays, when designing a new car, will consider the impact of air friction on this car.

Many consumers who have driven a Japanese car may have experienced such a scenario, that is, when you drive a Japanese car on the highway, especially when the speed exceeds 130 yards, when there is a slightly louder wind blowing. You'll all feel the shaking of the body very badly.

And at this time, in addition to holding the steering wheel with full attention, you can only pray to God to let this strong wind pass quickly. Otherwise, it will really have a great impact on your driving safety.

That's the disadvantage of being too light!

And if this supercar is designed according to Jin Xiaoqiang, using the latest and most powerful new engine he designed, then the peak power of the monster engine exceeds 800 horsepower is a matter of minutes, if it is equipped with such a body weighing only 990kg, then even if the body you design is low, the tires are wide, and the grip is stronger, I am afraid that you will face the risk that this supercar will become a land aircraft when the speed is too high.

So at the beginning of the design of this car. Jin Xiaoqiang naturally considered the idea of adding weight to this car.

If you want to increase weight, it is very simple, that is, to replace some aluminum alloy components on the original body mechanism, especially the parts that require very high rigidity of the body.

For example, the front and rear suspensions of the car, the required swing arm, shock absorption and other important components, just these few places. That's enough to add hundreds of kilograms to the weight of the body.

And these weights are enough for Jin Xiaoqiang.

So after his transformation, the total weight of this supercar has been able to reach between 1.2 tons and 1.3 tons. …,

And the engine used in the car is a monster-level engine that can sweep all the so-called powerful engines of this era.

The blueprint for this engine is the classic 5.4L V8 engine of the big Viper Shelby, but on this engine, Jin Xiaoqiang has made some improvements made by Ford's engineers.

Such an engine was the later Shelby Modified Car Company in the United States. Specially designed for Ford Shelby, the modified Super Viper is just a loaded engine.

And this engine, compared with the original 5.4L V8, is just equipped with an additional set of sixth-generation superchargers produced by Eaton.

But in this life, this sixth-generation supercharger produced by Eaton is already a professional product of Huayang Power.

And all Jin Xiaoqiang has to do is to match this super supercharger to this engine. The previous hard work in the special vehicle R&D center of Huayang Power was finally not in vain, and after almost a month of hard work, they finally overcame this final problem.

Now this super engine is finally assembled on this Dark Child, this 5.4L super engine equipped with a super supercharger, after the tuning of the ECU, when burning the special fuel for racing, it can burst out with 800 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque.

When he burns regular No. 97 fuel, he can burst out of peak power that is just as terrifying, reaching 750 hp and 900 Nm of torque.

After this engine is equipped to this Night Sun, his straight line acceleration of 100 kilometers can easily break through to less than three seconds.

And in order to cooperate with such a powerful super monster, Jin Xiaoqiang finally had to take out the eight-speed automatic transmission of the ZF that he copied and installed it on this car.

In this year, the gearbox that can withstand 1000 Nm of torque, or even more than this torque, is probably the only product of his copycat ZF.

Fortunately, the 8AT transmissions of various companies are still under development in this year, and even Aisin, the originator of the later 8AT, is also in full swing in research and development, and their mature 8AT products were actually released in 2007 and used in Lexus.

And it was precisely after being stimulated by the Japanese that Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Germany began to cooperate with some companies to develop 8AT gearboxes, and relying on full technology accumulation, ZF soon came up with a variety of 8AT products with different design styles.

The 8AT transmission that Jin Xiaoqiang is now using on this Night Child is a high-end transmission that ZF developed specifically for Bentley, or Jaguar and other high-end luxury cars after their 8AT transmission technology has matured.

And in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, to be able to use a super engine that bursts out of 800 horsepower, it must be equipped with a super transmission that can cope with the highest torque, which will be worthy of the appearance of this Dark Child.

And Dominic, sitting in the cockpit of the Dark Child, is certainly the one who knows the energy of the monster beneath his ass.

To be honest, since he received the invitation of Huayang Power at the end of last year, and then came to Huayang Power to help them test the car, he never thought that Huayang Power could create such a terrifying monster.

Even after the prototype of the car was produced, it took him a long time to finally get used to the car's violent engine.

Although in the later driving, he experienced the thrill of the extreme speed brought to him by this car, but as far as he is concerned, he still likes the fire horse he drove yesterday, because which car is more comfortable to drive. …,

And this car, you can only experience his crazy extreme acceleration, and he can reach a maximum speed of 380 kilometers per hour, which can really make this car a land aircraft.

However, if he wants to break the record he set yesterday at the New North Circuit, then he will have to take the Midnight Child to help cheer him on.

After many news media, the film that was murdered countless times by this Midnight Child, after the fans gathered around the warm-up track and the fans sitting in front of the TV, the track was finally ready.

The staff sent out in the distance waved the flag that could start fiercely downward, and then the night elf, like a black arrow, flew out of the starting track......

The 8AT gearbox is very sensitive to torque and the driver's experience, when Dominic stepped on the accelerator, he didn't wait much at all, the 800-horsepower monster began to output power continuously, and the fire horse he drove yesterday is different, the power output of this engine is extremely violent, in just a few seconds, you can feel the strong feeling of pushing back.

If it weren't for the five-point seat belt, the driver would have flown out of the cockpit......

Although he has experienced the thrill of this powerful push countless times, every time this powerful acceleration mode occurs, Dominic will still be thrilled by this flying feeling.

Because it uses an 8AT automatic transmission, but in order to facilitate the driver's driving, Jin Xiaoqiang still installed paddle shifters on this car, which is for ordinary people, but for test drivers like Dominic, the role is great.

Trip computers are useful for the average driver, but for a master driver like Dominic, it feels a bit of a waste, and they prefer to control the car they drive......

At this time, he was briskly flipping the paddle shifters, and then drove the car onto the winding road
