There were few highlights at this year's Ferrari, which brought a convertible version of the 308GTSi, an improved version of the 308GTB/GTBi hardtop. Of course, this car is also extremely distinctive, the wedge-shaped flat and impactful red body makes the overall appearance of the car very stylish, and this convertible version of the 308GTS has also become a fashionable car in many classic films, often appearing on the screen.

Maybe you still remember the scene from the classic American movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", starring Smith and his sons. The protagonist's first encounter with the Ferrari 308 GTB coupé says: "Hey buddy, I'd like to ask the question, what do you have to do to afford that car?" ”

Through this lens, the film depicts the envy and thirst for wealth of people at the bottom of society, but never thought that it was this classic car that inspired the protagonist to change his fate.

Ferrari has the power to find their way in the dark, to ignite their dreams with passion. Especially with such a recognizable 308GTS with a removable roof, people have almost no resistance to it. Someone once said that there are only two types of sports cars in the world, one is called other sports cars and the other is called Ferrari!

308 steel body to greatly reduce the cost of production and maintenance, although the use of traditional steel body of the 308 weight reached more than 1200kg, but it still has a good strength, in the case of 308GTB, its 0~100km/h acceleration in only 6.5 seconds, 100~200km/h acceleration time is 17.8 seconds, the top speed can reach 256km/h!

Ferrari is also constantly reinventing the power of the 308, and all new cars produced after 80 years are equipped with Bosch's K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection system, and the model names have been changed to 308GTBi and 308GTSi. Although this change reduces the maximum output of this car to 216 horsepower, it greatly controls exhaust emissions and improves fuel economy!

This year, Ferrari also introduced K-Jetronic fuel injection technology. The engine's 4-valve 308 quattrovalvole re-increases maximum power to 240 hp. Only 748 units of this version of the Ferrari 308 were produced, a third of which were European models, and this version is considered the most collectible of the 308 models. The power of the American spec is slightly inferior to that of the European version, except that it has orange edge lights on both sides of the front fenders and a thicker front bumper.

In order to enjoy the preferential tax treatment for 2L small displacement engines in Italy and some European countries, Ferrari also introduced the 208GTB/GTS model with a 2.0LV8 engine at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The car had a staggering 155 hp, and Ferrari would later add a turbocharger and mechanical fuel injection to the engine, bringing it to an even more staggering 222 hp!

And what makes Lin Johnson most interesting is that it has a racing wheel, three eye-catching air vents are arranged on the center console, and the special thing is that it has a semi-open movable roof, and the roof of this car can be retracted, which is extremely special at the auto show, and Ferrari named this form targa-top. And this car also has a traditional Ferrari body color, Ferrari Red!

Needless to say, Lin Qiangsheng, who has become a car collector, has come to each model, this kind of car can not only be used as a means of transportation, but also a better value preservation product!

Of course, transporting these cars back to China in the name of research is a trivial matter for Mr. Lin's company, and it will bring him considerable profits in the future, whether it is collected or sold.

This time, Ferruccio Lamborghini also participated in the motor show with Lamborghini's new LP500S sports car, which was launched because of a European sports car speed war. Ferrari unveiled the Boxer, which beat out the Contash LP400S to become the champion of the European sports car speed wars. Lamborghini had always regarded Ferrari as its only competitor, and of course it was not willing to be left behind, so the company continued to develop the Contash LP500S.

In order to dominate the sports car segment. Sports car companies need a lot of money to develop new technologies, and Lamborghini, which is in great demand, has been barely able to survive since the early 70s. Ferruccio first sold the Lamborghini Tractor Company. But the huge development of sports cars quickly drained the few funds he had made, and in 1980 Lamborghini went bankrupt.

Unfortunately for Lamborghini, of course, it needed an unknown man with a lot of money to save the professional supercar company. And for Lin Johnson, he is lucky, because he is the one who bought Lamborghini with a lot of money, and this nouveau riche didn't want to let go anymore after buying a Lamborghini, and really regarded it as his own industry!

Lin Johnson not only reinvested hundreds of millions of dollars in Lamborghini. It supported the follow-up development of the Contash model in a critical period, and also proposed a plan to develop a new flagship model, so that Lamborghini could get rid of the embarrassment of having only one main model, the Contash model!

Increasing the power of the engine is nothing more than increasing the number of cylinders, and using the exhaust gas circulation to increase the temperature in the cylinder to make the combustion more sufficient, so that the engine bursts out more power.

Lamborghini engineers tried turbocharging the engine, but since the Mura engine in Contash was a super engine in itself. Correspondingly, the engine temperature is also very high at high speeds!

The engineers failed because they couldn't solve the engine cooling problem, so they moved on to another solution: to increase displacement.

The LP500S basically maintains the shape of the original LP400S in appearance, and the power system has been expanded by 3.5 mm in diameter and 7 mm in stroke, and the L406 Mura engine has evolved into a larger displacement power system and has been placed in the engine compartment, with a displacement of 4754cc, a 60-degree V-shaped 12-cylinder design, and a horsepower of 375 hp.

In the details of the appearance, the roof design has been heightened, because the Contash has been criticized by users for being too low, resulting in a serious head situation when driving, and it is necessary for the car manufacturer to make appropriate modifications.

The 375 hp Contash LP500S can reach a top speed of 300 km/h. The shape is basically the same as low and flat, using an aluminum alloy engine, and the body material has also been adjusted to a certain extent, using some glass fiber reinforced plastic to reduce the weight of the car.

Ferruccio is exploring closer cooperation with Bosch to jointly develop a multi-point electronic fuel injection system for Lamborghini's powertrain, as well as plans to add a new engine that has been removed from the carburetor in the eco-friendly version.

This year, the Contash LP500S overtook the Ferrari Boxer in one fell swoop, and Ferrari was not willing to give up. According to sources, Ferrari is working on a new supercar called Testarossa. Ferrari's engineers are rushing to the maximum power of 400 hp!

In order to beat Ferrari, and due to Lin's unswerving financial investment, Lamborghini soon formulated the next generation of Super LP500S, codenamed LP500QV, to deal with Ferrari's Testarossa. The car is planned to supply more air to the cylinders in the form of four valves per cylinder, and to increase the stroke to a 5-liter engine, which is calculated to produce a maximum power of more than 450 horsepower!

The car will be developed and in series production in two years' time, and the LP500QV will be the fastest production sports car in the world!

Who is the ultimate in power performance, people who have a persistent spirit of speed are concerned about the competition between the two Italian giants, and the media compares it to a competition between a bull and a horse!

Of course, the outside world still has some complaints about the acquisition of Lamborghini by a Chinese, many automotive media people predict that Lamborghini will be destroyed in the hands of this nouveau riche, and even the Italian government has sent a concerned phone greeting, they tried to make Lin Johnson give up Lamborghini, but Lin Johnson resolutely rejected the Italian government's proposal!

Lin Qiangsheng scolded these Italians for being shit, they never sold them in the most difficult period of Lamborghini, and let Lin Qiangsheng buy them before they reacted, not because Lin Johnson is a Chinese and thinks that he doesn't understand the value of Lamborghini, or maybe he is worried that Lin Qiangsheng will blindly command and really destroy this supercar company!

The Italians, oh no, some Europeans certainly want Lamborghini to be in the hands of the Europeans, who think that this company, no matter how decadent, is better than being owned by a yellow man.

But Lin Johnson is not for sale, how influential Lamborghini has in China in the 21st century!

It can be said that once a Lamborghini appears at every car show, it can attract huge attention, and Lamborghini sports cars are often sold as the finale, and even the brand recognition in China is even better than Ferrari! (To be continued......)
