The three hosts were all stunned when they heard this data. In their opinion, a car that can reach a top speed of 320 kilometers is already a standard sports car. A top speed of 320 kilometers and a speed of 10,000 rpm also represents
This data cannot be easily supported by a six-speed gearbox. The current ten-speed gearbox is not yet mature, so the eight-speed must be the standard configuration for this data.
However, what made the three hosts raise questions was whether this s3c made in China, with its 2.5 twin-turbocharged engine, dares to challenge the top speed of 320 kilometers?
Jeremy said with a look of disbelief: "I think one-third of the speed and rpm of this car are virtual marks. They just added some extra space to the speedometer and tachometer. The actual data is not
It could be that high.”
"I think so too." The other two hosts held their shoulders and looked at the s3c on the test stand with serious faces. At this time, James May suddenly said with his chin in his hands: "But I have an unfounded hunch.
I think this car should make our eyes shine.”
Charlie nodded and said: "In terms of appearance alone, I have to admit that this car has amazed me. However, a good appearance only needs a talented designer to achieve it, but good performance can only be achieved by a talented designer."
It requires years of accumulation and excellent research and development capabilities. I still don’t have high hopes for the performance of this car. Maybe you still remember the Hyundai T-run from South Korea. The appearance of that car is quite intimidating at first glance. But in reality
Its performance is simply too weak.”
Jeremy curled his lips and said, "Let's wait and see what the data says."
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the engineer on the test bench had completed connecting the equipment. Then, an engineer standing next to the hood said to the people below: "It is ready and ready to supply fuel."
The test did not use the fuel of the S3C itself, but after engineers changed the fuel supply pipe. It was controlled by a precision fuel pump under the test bench, which can control the amount of fuel to an accuracy of cubic millimeters.
As soon as the engineer finished speaking, the engineer below turned on the oil pump. At the same time, the engineer on the stage also started the s3c engine.
The engine starts and is in idling state. The speed is 800 and the power is less than 20 horsepower.
Zhang Wenhao stood under the test bench with his arms folded, sneering in his heart, these British guys who look down on others will show you what top industrial strength is in a moment.
"Increase fuel supply!"
The person in charge of the laboratory gave an order, and the oil supply volume of the oil transfer pump began to increase continuously. At this time, the engine speed also began to gradually increase. The transmission also began to automatically shift gears.
"Holy shit!" The three hosts who were staring closely at the data display screen were immediately shocked by the first data presented, and said in unison: "So fast? How is it possible?!"
On the screen, the shift speed column shows 130 milliseconds, which is the time it took for the gearbox to shift completely from first gear to second gear.
"How is this possible?!" Everyone was exclaiming. This shifting speed is simply unbelievable. The Bugatti Veyron's shifting speed has reached the extreme, and it takes 150 milliseconds to complete. However, this Chinese-made
What kind of gearbox is equipped with s3c. so that it can complete the gear shift in a short time of 130 milliseconds?! If nothing else, this gearbox alone is already top-notch!
The host didn't even have time to discuss this astonishing data. Then, the display's shift time changed.
127 milliseconds!
Everyone felt like their brains were in a daze, how could it be possible?! It only took 127 milliseconds to enter the 3rd gear from 2nd gear!
Because the engine power and speed increased very quickly, the gearbox shifted gears very frequently. After they were shocked by the first data, all their energy was focused on the gear shift time and they forgot to look at other data.
By the time the gearbox had shifted to 7th gear, the gear shifting speed had been between 125 milliseconds and 130 milliseconds, which was very average. James May accidentally looked at other data and exclaimed involuntarily: "My
God! The power output of the engine now has reached 370 horsepower! The engine speed is 8500 rpm!"
"What?!" Others couldn't help but look at other data on the display. The data showed that the current engine speed of s3c had reached 8700! The horsepower continued to rise, reaching 380!
Immediately afterwards, the speed reached 9,000 rpm in the blink of an eye, and the output power reached a frightening 390 horsepower!
At this time, the gearbox smoothly entered the last gear, the eighth gear! This extremely thin metal beast began its final sprint!
9300 rpm, 9500 rpm, 9800 rpm, 10000 rpm!
10050 rpm!
"I can't believe it. I really don't believe this is real!" Jeremy looked at the screen stupidly and blurted out: "The engine speed of this car has exploded. Now, it has reached the speed of my dreams."
It also rotates at an unimaginable 10,300 rpm, and the speed is still increasing, and the horsepower has reached a terrifying 420 horses! For the sake of God, who can tell me why this is happening?! There is no reason at all! You know
What is installed in this car is a 2.5-liter L4 engine! A four-cylinder engine!!! For a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, this data is simply abnormal to the extreme!"
And at this time, the engine speed has reached its highest speed, and because the gearbox has reached the highest gear, it can no longer make changes at this moment. The overall output power of the car has been maintained at 420 horsepower, which is incredible.
, at this high speed, the roar of the engine is not distorted. It is still a low and powerful roar, but the sound will never be so loud that it is unacceptable.
No one dares to imagine that a 2.5-liter engine can produce such data. Even though it has twin turbochargers, it still has about 100 to 120 horsepower more than ordinary cars with the same configuration.
, which is equivalent to an increase of about 35%. This kind of shock is as if everyone is used to Bugatti's top speed of 434 kilometers, but suddenly one day, a devil with a top speed of 600 kilometers appears in front of them.
..
"Monster!" Jeremy exclaimed in shock: "Monster! This is a complete monster!!"
Volkswagen's engineers were also completely dumbfounded. They could never have imagined that one day, an engine made in China could reach such a terrifying level. This has exceeded the world's highest level, and it is far beyond it! Not at all.
Leave room! In this world, no matter who builds a 2.5-liter engine, it is impossible to reach such an abnormally high level. What is going on? Can anyone explain when Chinese engines made such huge progress?
??
"This is not scientific..." The engine was still running at a high speed, but Charlie Hammond on the side shook his head in confusion and said to himself: "This is not in line with scientific logic at all. The strength of this engine,
It’s nearly twice as powerful as I expected! The 3.8-liter Porsche 911 also became a loser in front of it. I don’t know what these Volkswagen engineers are thinking at this moment, and I don’t know what to expect when we do this issue.
After the show is broadcast, what will the car manufacturers around the world think? But I only know one thing, they are in big trouble!"
The s3c's engine ran at high speed for about half an hour before Volkswagen's engineers stopped supplying fuel. The engine gradually stopped. As soon as the engine stopped, several Volkswagen engineers strode up and surrounded the car.
The hood was discussing non-stop in German. Zhang Wenhao had already asked the waiter to exchange his German skills, and then he strode up to him, wanting to hear what these people were discussing, but that group of people did not pay any attention.
Zhang Wenhao has already arrived behind him.
At this time, an engineer measured the size of the engine with a ruler and blurted out: "It's unbelievable. It is ten percent smaller than the average 2.5-liter L4 engine. This means that they are ensuring the displacement."
On the same basis, the cylinder wall was made as thin as possible. Oh my God, such a thin cylinder wall was used to boost horsepower. After running at top speed for half an hour just now, there was no problem at all, even if
If we use our best materials, under such a strong load, the engine will explode before reaching 10,000 rpm."
"Materials!" Another engineer said: "The core problem must be materials. The Chinese must have developed new high-pressure resistant materials. Otherwise, ordinary materials cannot bear such a high load."
"What about the gearbox?!" Another person blurted out: "I think the gearbox used in this car must be very high-end, so high-end that it exceeds our imagination. Its performance is so good, it amplifies the torque to the extreme, and the gearbox is
The shifting is so smooth that it’s unbelievable, and the most incredible thing is its shifting speed, which is outrageous!”
"You can't see the gearbox." One person lamented: "It would be great if we could take it apart and take a look. There is no doubt that this eight-speed gearbox is much better than our eight-speed gearbox."
At this time, Zhang Wenhao spoke in fluent German: "Gentlemen, are you guys here enough to watch? Should we conduct a road test?"
These German engineers seemed to be ignorant. A bearded guy wearing thick myopia glasses blurted out: "Sir, can you leave this car for us to learn from?"
Zhang Wenhao couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked: "Are you crazy? Are we going to let other manufacturers have access to this kind of core secret?"
The man hurriedly said: "But your car will be put on the market sooner or later. We can buy it at a high price! And we just want to learn it and will not involve your core technology."
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "I'm sorry, if you really want it, just wait until it is launched and buy one yourself."
At this time, the host of top-gear also reacted from the shock. Jeremy faced the camera and said as if he had lost his soul: "It seems that this time I really have to take back what I said before, although I haven't yet."
I have seen the actual performance of this car on the road, but its transmission system alone has conquered me. We were originally going to test two cars this time, one is this S3C, and the other is Audi's latest top-end car.
For the equipped version of the a7, I initially planned to test the two cars separately. Because I felt that the two cars were not comparable at all. The a7 would be much better than the Chinese-made s3c, but judging from the current situation, this car
The power performance of the car is infinitely better than that of the A7!"
At this point, Jeremy's expression became very determined and he said: "I must let this car compete with the A7 on the road. Let's see how much the overall performance of this car can surpass the A7."
James May on the side had a soft spot for the A7. At this time, he couldn't help but defend the A7 and blurted out: "Jeremy, this car is just a little more powerful than the A7. However, the road test involves too many situations.
Well, the first thing is the driving method. Do you think the driving method of this car is better than Audi’s four-wheel drive system?”
Jeremy frowned and asked: "James, are you kidding me? Is it a little more powerful than the a7? The 3.0 supercharged engine of the a7 has a maximum vehicle power of only 310 horsepower! And this car
, which is a full 110 horsepower higher than it, and it still uses a 2.5 engine, and its gearbox is much stronger than the seven-speed gearbox of the A7! "
James Mei also felt a little guilty, but he still said: "I think the overall strength of the A7 will not be much worse than this car. After all, the A7 uses Audi's special four-wheel drive system, and the level of tuning is,
It’s also world-class.”
Charlie Hammond on the side said: "You two don't need to argue. In my opinion, I will let you two drive the A7 and this S3C separately later to compare."
"No, no, no." James May shook his head and said: "The two of us drive different cars for comparison. There will be no comparison. You know that Jeremy's driving skills are much better than mine. I think this task still needs to be handed over.
Give our captive test driver, stig, a try and see which of the two cars is stronger!"
Volkswagen's engineers were not very happy to remove the S3C from the test bench. For them, this car highlighted many enviable high-end features just on the test bench, but they suffered from the fact that the other party did not provide any information.
They had the opportunity to learn more in detail. After all, Dongchen Automobile is here to challenge top-gear, rather than sending cars to the public for learning and observation.
At this time, Jeremy strode up to Long Xiaoyue and said with a face of shame: "Miss Long, I didn't expect that the manufacturing strength of your Dongchen Automobile has reached such a high level. Just the power part of this car,
I am convinced. You may know that I have always been known for my sharp tongue, but I will never deny the objective facts. The power performance of this S3C is a very great innovative technology. I think I don’t have to wait until the end of the show.
Now I solemnly retract my previous remarks about Chinese cars."
Long Xiaoyue smiled slightly and said: "I hope our s3c can bring you more surprises in subsequent tests."
Jeremy also nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to it too."
Zhang Wenhao has slightly changed his mind towards Jeremy, an old British gangster who talks a lot. Although this guy has a bad mouth, he is also realistic. Judging from his attitude, it is obvious that he has been impressed by the power performance of s3c, but after changing
In short, after seeing this series of data, who can not be convinced?
This is the fundamental reason why Zhang Wenhao decided to go to top-gear first. He wanted to conquer everyone in this program group, and then conquer the whole world through this globally popular car program.
As usual, top-gear's preliminary testing of cars is completed by the host, and then their captive professional driver Stig will come forward to test. Jeremy has an absolutely strong interest in this s3c, so he
Please volunteer to test this incredible car for yourself.
As Long Xiaoyue's assistant, Zhang Wenhao told Jeremy many of the car's features before he prepared to test drive the car. For example, the fastest cornering speed can reach about 160, but for safety reasons, the speed of entering an S-shaped turn is limited.
Try not to exceed 150. If it is a U-shaped bend, the speed should not exceed 100 kilometers.
Even this advice shocked Jeremy. He would never dare to drive such a medium or large car into a corner at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, because the chassis of this kind of car is light and the grip is small.
, it is easy to cause an accident when entering a corner at high speed, and he does not know what standard the four-wheel drive performance of this car can meet. He is worried that an accident may occur when entering a corner quickly.
Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "You can keep trying to enter the corner faster. For example, if the car is still very stable when entering the corner at 60 kilometers, then you can try 70. After 70, it will be the same, and it will continue to increase."
With that, Zhang Wenhao added: "This car is equipped with the a1 human-car interaction system independently developed by Dongchen. In addition to the instinct of driving, you can basically give instructions through dialogue for any other control of the car, and the car can also
It will be executed as soon as possible. You can also put forward some requirements of your own, such as asking her to maintain cruising when reaching a specified speed, or to issue a warning when it is above a certain speed or below a certain speed. Anyway, as long as it is
You can make any requests related to this car."
Jeremy exclaimed and asked: "Is it equivalent to Siri on the iPhone?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled and said: "Believe me, she is much better than Siri." (To be continued!~!
