If you want to build a supercar, the powertrain will be the key.

First of all, in terms of engines, the engines of supercars are all engines known for their high horsepower and large displacement, and the supercars that Jin Xiaoqiang intends to develop this time are no exception.

This time, he plans to equip the supercar with the original engine of the 2012 Ford Shelby Cobra and the 5.4-liter V8 engine a few years later.

This engine is a monster made by Mr. Shelby and Ford's special vehicle research team under joint research, and it is definitely the leader in the V8 series of large-displacement engines.

Think about it, even a few years later, in the V8 engine series, this engine is the dominant big guy, let alone now that it is equipped with this supercar.

The original name of this car was the Ford Mustang, but after the old man Shelby and Ford's special vehicle research and development team, after the birth of this car, it no longer hung the Mustang logo, but hung a cobra logo directly on the car to distinguish it from the previous Mustang cars.

And the 5.4L displacement of this car and the configuration of V8 are enough to make this car appear unusually strong in terms of data.

Even in the year 2012, the data that this engine can burst out is not weaker than any other V8 engine, and even because of the careful tuning of the Americans, it seems to be more than stronger than other V8 engines.

On this engine, the Americans chose the high-end product in Eaton's fifth-generation supercharger, the M122 supercharger, to force air supply to this engine.

Although the performance of this supercharger is not as good as the sixth-generation supercharger of Eaton that Jin Xiaoqiang copied before this, the performance of this supercharger is already quite good in this year.

Driven by this supercharger, the 5.4L V8 engine can burst out with a peak output of 550 hp at 6,200 rpm and 691 Nm of torque at 4,250 rpm.

Such data, not to mention that it can kill all competitors in seconds now, even if it is put in a few years, it is enough to be able to stand out from the crowd.

At the Paris Motor Show, the engine that was equipped on the Qoros P6 pickup truck had already detonated the audience as soon as it was unveiled, for no other reason than because of the data announced by Jin Xiaoqiang.

The high-power engine has always been the object of attention of a big luxury brand.

Before Huayang Power announced this V8 engine, the high-power, large-displacement engine that attracted the most attention in the world automotive industry was the W12 developed by Audi for the A8 that will be launched next year, this 12-cylinder engine.

This 12-cylinder engine with a displacement of 6.3L, according to the preliminary published data, will be able to burst out of 500 horsepower, such data, which has made many competitors feel surprised and pressured.

At present, BMW uses two versions of the V8 engine, one is used on their highest-end 750, the peak output of this V8 engine is only 400 horsepower, and the peak output of the V8 engine they use on the top-of-the-line 760 is only 455 horsepower, not even 500 horsepower.

In terms of V8 engines, Mercedes-Benz, which can be said to be the bull in the practice world, can only burst out of the peak power of the V8 engine of their top car S600 is only 460 horsepower, and even the set peak power of the V12 engine they are developing is only 510 horsepower.

Therefore, in the face of these competitors' V8 or even more cylinder engines, Jin Xiaoqiang can be said to have absolute confidence in his engine. …,

And for now, the biggest rivals this car has to face, the engines of the Porsche 911 and Ferrari and other car series, are nothing more than that, on par with this engine, or even comparable to the engine that was born a few years later.

And that's not the limit of this engine, you must know that in a few years, Ford replaced the mechanical positive pressure for this engine, especially with the help of Eaton's sixth-generation supercharger, the peak power output of this engine will be even more terrifying.

On the 2011 Ford Mustang Super Snake model, the latest generation of supercharged engine can burst out of 800 horsepower.

Of course, that supercharger has now become Jin Xiaoqiang's secret weapon, and he plans to unveil this supercharger at the Detroit Auto Show in the near future, so that people all over the world know that Huayang Power still has such terrifying strength.

And the most important thing is that this supercharger may not be on the agenda sooner than Eaton's people, if he doesn't announce it in advance, then it's not good that people will think that they have copied Eaton's products again.

And after the debut of this mechanical positive pressure device, Jin Xiaoqiang does not plan to configure it on ordinary models, he plans to configure this mechanical positive pressure device on the real supercar he will develop in the future.

Because of this little Ashton. Martin has been given by him to become a civilian product, although ordinary people in the Celestial Empire can't afford it, but people with a certain economic strength can still afford it.

And if you get it abroad, then this car can definitely be called a civilian sports car, think about it for only 50,000 to 80,000 dollars to buy a little Ashton. Martin, I'm afraid that many foreign consumers will be eager for this supercar.

And the most important thing is the performance of this supercar, after configuring such a perverted engine, I am afraid that it is a demanding person, and it will not be able to jump out of the fault of this car.

Of course, the 5.4L V8 supercharged engine will not be equipped on ordinary models, and this engine will only appear in this little Ashton. Martin's top-of-the-line model.

On the entry-level model, Jin Xiaoqiang plans to use another engine, and Jin Xiaoqiang originally planned to bring his company's Ecoboost V6 engine to this car.

But after thinking about it, he plans to redesign a new engine for this low-end model of the supercar.

The low-end product of this supercar, he is also a supercar, so he can't fool with the EcoBoost V6 engine.

You must know that the name Ecoboost has become a well-known engine brand recognized in the world with the hot sale of Qoros, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, in fact, this engine cannot be called perfect.

The reason why this engine is famous is that it can save fuel at the same time, but also provide consumers with the maximum power, so that consumers can feel the power of V8 when driving a V6 fuel consumption car.

On the EcoBoost engine, it can be said that it has been loaded with the most mainstream technologies of the world's engines, such as turbocharging, such as variable valve timing technology, as well as in-cylinder direct injection and so on.

This allows the engine to burst out with strong power and at the same time be very fuel-efficient.

But for a supercar that is very critical of acceleration performance and a bit of a fussy handling, this engine is indeed a bit out of place.

Because the supercar is intended to be based on the 2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition, this car also inherits the usual physical characteristics of American cars, and its weight will exceed 1.6 tons and close to 2.0 tons.

This kind of dead weight makes this car feel a little strenuous when starting, and in this way, when accelerating, it will pay great attention to linear output, that is, BMW has always emphasized that as long as you step on the accelerator, the power will be continuously squeezed out, and it seems that you will never step on the floor oil. …,

As long as you step down, the power of the car is absolutely on call, which is definitely a hard standard for people who buy a supercar.

The EcoBoost engine, on the other hand, is less capable of this.

You must know that this engine is still equipped with a turbine to pressurize the engine, although Jin Xiaoqiang has used various means to increase the sensitivity of the turbine and slow down the hysteresis effect of the turbine, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it still can't do the on-call performance like an ordinary naturally aspirated engine.

His power is only evident when the engine revs at a certain level.

And the biggest difference with the naturally aspirated engine is that when the turbo intervenes, when the engine speed reaches a certain level, the power output of the engine will reach a critical point, and no matter how you step on the accelerator, you will feel that the speed has reached the limit and can not continue to increase.

And this kind of situation, in the high-power naturally aspirated engine, will rarely occur, because of the adjustment of the electronic throttle, this naturally aspirated engine will always emphasize the smooth linear output, so as long as you step on the throttle hard, then the power of the car, will be able to surge anytime and anywhere.

This is also the reason why Mercedes-Benz and BMW, which have always paid attention to driving pleasure, have not been very interested in auxiliary equipment such as turbocharging, and it is not until recently that they can't withstand the impact of the energy increase speed brought by this thing to the engine, so they have begun to study turbochargers.

But in the engine of a large-displacement luxury car, they still rarely have a turbo or supercharger, because they like the feeling of power on call.

At this point, Jin Xiaoqiang intends to be on par with these two companies, in the low-end model configuration, he plans to equip the 3.7L V6 engine that Ford specially configured for the low-end Mustang in 2011, and the data performance of this engine is also very good......
