Chapter 285

The day before Zhang Yunfeng arrived in Dresden, the top gear program team had already arrived at the testing ground of Volkswagen Company in Dresden. The reason for their early arrival was not that they attached great importance to Dongchen, but that they were not prepared to use the whole program time for a 2.5t model in China, so in order to save time and labor to the greatest extent, they would The test schedule for Audi's new A7 is planned to be advanced half a month later, and we are ready to take this opportunity to test both models at one time in Dresden.

For the Volkswagen Group, its products cover a wide range of levels. Most of Volkswagen's models are mainly in the middle and low-end market, and the middle and high-end are supported by Audi. As for the high-end vehicles, the varieties are more complete. Lamborghini is theirs, Bentley is theirs, Bugatti is theirs.

Audi is also going to launch a new Audi A7 at the auto show in January next year. This time, the model to be tested by topgear is the 3.0 supercharged top matching version of the new A7. Topgear originally planned to test two cars separately, and there will be no conflict between the two models in the program. After all, in their view, they can't use a 3.0tfsi machine to increase the number of cars Press the Audi A7 to humiliate a 2.5t car made by an unknown brand in China.

When the motorcade finally drove into the Dresden Volkswagen testing ground, just after the car entered the gate, the topgear program group had set up the camera to wait for it. In fact, their host had just recorded a program, the main content of which was to exaggerate the story that China state company played a big card and mystified, and narrated the events in the airport through the camera. Now he We are waiting to capture the members of Dongchen group and the mysterious 2.5t car, so as to set off the front and back, so as to humiliate Dongchen in the later program.

Zhang Yunfeng saw the other side set up the posture of photography in the car. He took out a pair of ray Peng's sunglasses from his bag and put on a cap with the logo of Dongchen and an ordinary medical mask.

As soon as the car stopped, the photographer took the camera to the outside of the car door and aimed the camera at the opened car door. At this time, the other camera was composed of three hosts of topgear, all of whom were wearing suits. Now they were standing in a row outside the car waiting for the members of Dongchen company to get off.

At this time, poor mouth Jeremy did not forget to tease, facing the camera, while finishing his suit, he said: "I heard that the Chinese people like this greeting ceremony, so I had to wear such a stupid tie, I really hope our new friends of China don't let us down, otherwise, I won't wear this suit out of the country in the future."

Just when Jeremy was making fun of Dongchen, long Xiaoyue stepped down the door first, followed by Zhang Yunfeng and other technicians.

Jeremy came up with two hosts, shook hands with long Xiaoyue, and smiled: "you must be Miss long. Before you came, I discussed with James and Charlize. I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful."

Long Xiaoyue smiled and said in standard English, "thank you for your praise."

Jeremy clapped his hands and said, "we have been waiting for your mysterious new car for several days, but now that car is still parked in a sealed container, I wonder if we can see the real face of the mysterious new car now?"

"Of course," said long Xiaoyue As she said this, she gave Zhang Yunfeng a look, and Zhang Yunfeng came to the container with a few technicians around him and followed them. Besides long Xiaoyue and three hosts, a large group of directors came to the trailer. Zhang Yunfeng instructed the technicians to open the container door, and two cameras were facing the container, hoping to catch s in the first time 3C's face, and when the door opened the moment, behind everyone exclaimed.

"Oh!" Jeremy looked at the front part of the porcelain red s3c car in the container and couldn't help exclaiming: "otherwise, the front face of this car is too aggressive! I like its aerodynamic design, as well as its air intake grille, but at this moment, the front face of this car is not inferior to that of Aston Martin. You know, Aston Martin's front face design is generally recognized as the most classic. "

"I'm glad to find that in the front part of this car, I can't find any characteristics of Shanzhai. China enterprises are finally on the road of independent design," said James May

Jeremy said with a smile, "that's right. Your words remind me of the Rolls Royce imitated by Jili of China. Forgive me for God's sake. It's a complete copy and plagiarism."

At this time, Zhang Yunfeng ignored the sarcastic discussion of the three men, strode up, opened the door half in the container, and sat in the cab with a little effort. Then, he closed the door and started the s3c engine in the container.

"Jeremy, listen to the engine start. I don't think the car's power performance is much better than Mondeo's."

Jeremy made a few exaggerated laughs, some loudly said: "Charlize, you underestimate the power of the 2.5t engine. Even if you let South Africa build a 2.5t engine, the power must be better than that of Mondeo."

Zhang Yunfeng braked easily and let the car come out of the container at idle speed. When the car passed the slope, Jeremy exclaimed again, "from the front half of the car, the car looks very good."

"Cool!" Hammond pursed his lips, with a surprised and puzzled expression on his face, and said: "I have to say that it's much more beautiful than I thought. Before today, I've done a good job of looking at the valet's 80L, which has changed its logo. I didn't expect that their changes to the car's appearance are quite big!"

! Beautiful, it's really beautiful! "

The other two hosts also agreed with each other. As soon as the s3c came out, its appearance really exceeded their imagination. The overall shape of the car body was very in line with the streamlined design, which was not only very pleasing to the eyes, but also a bit of implicit domineering. The 20 inch wheel hub also seemed to be just right. In addition to the painting of the whole car porcelain Guohong, the car looked very good when it came out Eye-catching.

At this time, Zhang Yunfeng put down the window and asked in English, "excuse me, when will the test begin?"

"Right now, let's go to the lab and test the car's power," Jeremy said

Zhang Yunfeng nodded and decided to drive the car into the lab for others to test out the real performance of the car before.

A Land Rover from the topgear show group leads the way in front, while others take electric sightseeing buses, while Zhang Yunfeng drives the s3c to slowly follow the range rover leading the way.

Volkswagen engineers have been waiting for the car to arrive in the laboratory for a long time.

Dresden test ground is the most high-end and complete test ground of Volkswagen. This test ground not only has the top test ground, but also most importantly, Volkswagen has set up many indoor test projects here, which can ensure that the test model has any deficiencies on the track, and immediately enter the laboratory for change. This is where the power test of the whole vehicle is One of the basic experimental projects.

Under the instruction of the engineer, Zhang Yunfeng drove the car to the laboratory, got off the car and asked the experimenter to drive the car to the test bench. They opened the engine cover skillfully immediately, and then began to connect the tested transmission system.

Others arrived at the same time. Jeremy pointed to the camera and held the microphone. "Dongchen's new model s3c has arrived in the laboratory. Now we will carry out a comprehensive test on the power of the whole car, including their gearbox."

Then, while the staff were busy preparing, Jeremy asked another host James may curiously, "James, how much horsepower do you think this 2.5t engine can achieve? In addition, which gearbox do you think they will use? "

James may pretended to think about it seriously for a long time, and said: "according to my understanding of wallowup, they used a 2.5t engine on the XC90, and the horsepower should be about 210, but this time they seem to want to refit a small monster, so with the twin turbocharging, I think the horsepower should be between 260270. As for the gearbox, I think It must be the Ford 6-speed powershift gearbox of Waupaca GM

Jeremy nodded, then asked the man next to him, "Charlie, what do you think?"

"You know, I'm not very fond of wolverine, so I think the overall power of this car should be around 250 horsepower. As for the gearbox, I agree with James."

Jeremy then turned his head back to the camera and said with a smile: "it seems that all three of us have the same view. The overall horsepower of this car should not exceed 270, and it should also be equipped with the Ford 6-speed powershift gearbox used by many models before the wallowup."

At this time, a passing Volkswagen engineer stopped and said to Jeremy, "although I don't know whose gearbox they are carrying, I can tell you first that it should be an eight speed gearbox."

"What!" The three asked in unison. Jeremy grabbed the engineer who was about to leave and asked, "how do you know that car has an eight speed gearbox?"

The engineer said with a smile, "just now I drove the car to the test bench. After a cursory look, their speedometer has a maximum speed of 320km / h and a speed indicator of 10000. So, according to common sense, it should be equipped with an eight speed gearbox."
