Xiao Ning's set of operations came down.

It's nothing more than wanting to do things with Red Bull first, and then give money.

In this way, Hummingbird will not be able to draw a share of Red Bull's sponsorship, and Xiao Ning can wait for the results of the new list in October to come out and get the bonus before leaving.

If you have to leave the hummingbird, this is really the best solution.

Just as Zou Yitian promised.

The day after they confirmed the cooperation, Red Bull Austria found a whole team of racing professionals and flew directly from abroad to Jiangcheng.

September 30.

In one of the largest tuning factories in Jiangcheng, foreign tuning engineers from the Red Bull team are communicating with Xiao Ning in English.

After consultation and analysis between Xiao Ning and the professional team, there were two options for the final Autumn Styx Mountain Challenge.

The first is a rally car scheme that uses a modified powertrain.

The second is a scheme for the complete modification of a suitable civilian vehicle.

In terms of the requirements of the vehicle for this mission, it was clearly best to choose the option of modifying a top-of-the-line rally car.

However, there is a fatal problem with this solution.

The corresponding engine and gearbox modified parts that meet the requirements are all race-level, and there is no manufacturer of these things in Longguo, and now if you want to do it, you must bring these things in from abroad.

Even though most things have finished products that can be shipped directly, there are always some things that need to be customized.

According to the calculations of the Red Bull team, if this plan is chosen, it will take at least five weeks to really make the cars that meet the requirements appear in Jiangcheng, and the customs alone will have to delay at least a week.

This situation is different from what Zou Yitian, vice president of Red Bull Dragon said, for half a month.

However, after learning of this situation, Xiao Ning did not mean to complain about Zou Yitian in his heart.

On the one hand, although Zou Yitian is the vice president, after all, his position must have a gap with professionals in his understanding of some situations.

On the other hand, in addition to this longer option, there is a second option.

Directly carry out a full range of modifications to civilian vehicles!

In the second option, the time can even be controlled within ten days.

When Red Bull's foreign engineer informed him of the second plan, Xiao Ning listened to it directly.

As if sensing the change in Xiao Ning's eyes, the foreigner engineer couldn't help but add: "Mr. Xiao, with all due respect, as a professional, I don't recommend you to take the second option. ”

"Compared with the mature rally car modification system, the disadvantage of this scheme is that the safety is uncontrollable."

"It's definitely exacerbating your already risky challenges."

When Xiao Ning heard these words, he smiled directly at the foreigner: "Mr. John, you are too worried. ”

"If you are on a regular rally track, the safety and reliability of modern top rally cars is undoubtedly very high, even if it rolls over at a speed of more than 100 or even 200 kilometers per hour, it can survive with a top-of-the-line roll cage and safety measures."

"But in that part of the Autumn Mountains, most of the road is cliffs."

"If you make a mistake in a place like this, whether it's hitting a wall or jumping off a cliff, the result of a rally car is actually the same as a modified civilian car."

"It's a death for both horizontally and vertically."

When John heard Xiao Ning say these words casually, his heart secretly smacked.

The tone of this young man's speech was completely like life and death!

Isn't there anything in this world that is worthy of his nostalgia?

Although his first reaction was to think of this, John could actually understand what Xiao Ning was saying.

In order to evaluate the details of the vehicle, the Red Bull team had already gone to Qiuming Mountain for a field trip as soon as they arrived in Jiangcheng.

On a pure mountain road like this, no matter how high the safety measures are, if you really fall off a cliff, there will be no chance of survival.

More than half an hour later.

Shawning and the Red Bull team finalized the racing plan.

Directly modify civilian vehicles.

When the Red Bull team began to look for the best option among the many prototypes.

Xiao Ning, who was listening on the sidelines, heard the conversation between Chief Engineer John and another engineer, and suddenly came to inspiration.

"Mr. John, according to what you just said, is it possible to use a car that is light enough and has a short wheelbase as a modification option?"

John nodded: "That's true, after all, the so-called rally cars were actually almost all civilian hatchbacks converted before. ”

"We just need to choose a suitable civilian hatchback now."

Xiao Ning followed up and asked, "Mr. John, the hatchback version of the AE86 is also a hatchback, right?" If you use this car to change, do you think it is feasible? ”

John frowned slightly: "AE86? ”

"You can change it, anyway, this kind of pure violent modification is just a shell, and everything inside has to be replaced."

"However, after all, this is a car from the last century, and it is definitely not the best choice for modification, or even a worse choice, the only advantage is that the modification cost is not so large."

"However, Mr. Xiao, in the situation that the company told us, the budget to cooperate with you to complete the extreme challenge is quite abundant, and there is no need to use this old car at all."

"You know, just the aerodynamic appearance, this old car has been left far behind by the current car."

Xiao Ning asked again: "Then if you have to use this car to change, the effect of changing it ......?"

"Assuming that the driving technique has reached the pinnacle, do you think this car can run at a top speed of 280 and a speed of 200 into corners?"

John thought for a moment and said truthfully, "Yes, indeed." ”

Xiao Ning directly clapped the board and said: "Then change this!" ”

The Red Bull team was stunned by Xiao Ning's decision.

Although it is true that as John said, an old car like the AE86 can indeed be changed to meet the performance situation, but there is a better choice, why use this old car to change?

John asked why, and Xiao Ning answered very open-mindedly.

"To be honest, I was still working on a movie recently, and according to the requirements of the movie, we needed an AE86 with strong modification performance."

"Anyway, I have to change the car for extreme challenges, and by the way, I will change the AE86, and I can borrow it to shoot some movie shots after the change."

"Don't worry, I'll explain this matter to Mr. Zou in detail later."

It took John a moment to sort out what Shawning had said.

Well!

This young man!

In addition to using the car to carry out extreme challenges, he also wants to use the modified results of the White Red Bull to make movies!

"My God."

"This can also be prostituted?"

For some time to come, John was still in that unthinkable time.

Huang Mao has already driven the AE86 with "Fujiwara とうふ Shop (Home Use)" printed on the side of the body to the modification factory according to Xiao Ning's instructions.

After the car was handed over to the Red Bull team, Huang Mao, who is extremely fond of modified cars, was full of energy.

"Car God!"

"You just called and said that you wanted to change my 86, I really didn't expect the people who changed this car to look so awesome!"

"Who are these people? Where did it come from? Why are they all foreigners? ”

Regarding Huang Mao's question, Xiao Ning casually pointed to the uniforms of the Red Bull team: "Didn't you see what clothes they were wearing?" ”

"Rhett?"

Huang Mao was stunned, and then his heart was shocked.

After passing the audition, he has already read the script of "Initial D".

So he also knows about the plot of the AE86 in "Initial D" that was replaced by Takumi's father Bunta with a racing engine.

But after all, it's a movie!

Why are you so serious?

Just take a picture and deal with it!

How did this really change?

Or do you want someone from Red Bull to change it?

You don't really want to change the engine of a racing car, do you?

Huang Mao, who had 100,000 question marks in his heart, after asking Xiao Ning's consent, went to the factory very decisively and chatted with a person from the Red Bull team who has no work at present.

"Hey, Bro, I'm a friend of Xiao Ning and the owner of this car."

"What modifications are you going to make to this car?"

After Huang Mao Dao made his intentions, the employee of the Red Bull team directly introduced him.

"Suspension, chassis, suspension, exhaust ......"

After hearing this, Huang Mao subconsciously asked: "I don't care about anything else, but the engine of this car, I have changed it before, from the original 130 horsepower to more than 180 horsepower, it stands to reason that it is enough for us to use, and the power system also needs to move?" ”

The Red Bull team looked confused.

One hundred and eighty horses?

Enough?

Not to mention anything else, the AE86 with 180 horsepower, even if it goes to the airport on the big straight to run at top speed, it is impossible to run 280 kilometers per hour.

How can this be used?

Although the staff of the Red Bull team wondered why Huang Mao would say that it was enough, they answered Huang Mao's question next.

"About the powertrain."

"The solution we have now is to transplant the engine directly."

Direct porting of the engine?

Is this really going to change the engine of a racing car?

The domestic folk modification circle in Longguo is generally just a matter of doing something to the original engine and replacing parts within the brushing procedure.

Directly replacing the engine is actually rare in the circle of folk enthusiasts.

As soon as he heard that he really had to change the engine, the curiosity in Huang Mao's heart was completely aroused.

"Sir, which engine are you going to transplant?"

A member of the Red Bull team honestly said: "The engine compartment of the AE86 is not large, and we decided to choose a solution with a smaller mass and volume after comprehensive consideration. ”

"Considering the cost of modification and the actual effect, we want to replace it with the LS7 V8 engine with OHV structure."

LS7 V8 engine, Huang Mao is aware.

This engine has a displacement of 7 liters, is a large displacement naturally aspirated engine, because from the hand of General Motors, to a certain extent, this is actually an extremely classic, has been used by lighthouse car companies in all kinds of domestic supercars, muscle cars engine.

The engine has a maximum horsepower of 505 hp and a maximum torque of 644 Nm.

In addition to the luxury of the parameters, the biggest advantage of this engine is that it is light enough!

The LS7 is made of all-aluminium and features an OHV layout and a smaller cylinder head design that contributes significantly to weight reduction.

The engine weighs only 170 kilograms!

Because of its extremely light weight, this engine is often the best modification option for some drift fanatics.

After thinking about everything about LS7, Huang Mao is undoubtedly sluggish at this moment.

Because if an AE86 is equipped with such an eight-cylinder engine......

That speed, that low torque!

Why is this still called AE86?

When Huang Mao's whole person listened stupidly.

Red Bull spoke again.

"After all, we were in a hurry, and we didn't have time to adopt a more mature solution, because that would inevitably require orders from foreign sources."

"So I had to compromise LS7."

"However, the original horsepower parameter of 500 horsepower looks exaggerated, but in fact, after our calculations, it is still difficult to meet the needs of Qiuying Mountain."

"So."

"We plan to add a Garrett GTX5008R turbo to the LS7 and replace it with a gearbox that can withstand 1,100 Nm of torque after the modification."

"That's it."

"The final horsepower of this modified AE86 can be pushed to around 1,000 hp, and the maximum torque reaches 1,100 Nm."

"As needed at the moment."

"Such a powertrain should be almost sufficient."

After Huang Mao heard these words, his whole person was petrified.

500 horses, naturally aspirated eight-cylinder turbo, hard push 1,000 horses!

This terrifying power is placed in the AE86, which weighs more than 900 kilograms in the original car!

"Do you want to add two more wings?"

"You Nima are changing cars!"

"It's still bigger!"

"I'm thinking about building an airplane!"

There should still be, in the middle of the night, still writing.
