Most supercars in the world cannot reach the speed limit of 400 kilometers per hour. The biggest problem is that the power of the engine cannot support the car driving at such a high speed. The higher the speed, the power and energy consumed are far beyond normal conditions.
The normal power demand and energy consumption under normal speed are just like the physical demand and consumption increase geometrically when cycling at normal speed and when cycling at extreme speed.
When a car travels on land at a speed of more than 400 kilometers, the air resistance it encounters will be an unimaginable astronomical figure. Bugatti uses an 8.0-liter, V16 engine, which only allows the car to reach a top speed of more than 400 kilometers.
There is a bottleneck of kilometers, but SC1 completely beat Bugatti in an instant with just a 6.0-liter, V12 engine.
SC1 has extremely high technological content. Just the starting performance of the shape, the design of the tail and side wings, and automatic adjustment are a very huge experimental project. Without the simulation and calculation of supercomputers like Xiaoer, it would be impossible to rely solely on current technology.
Strength, the aerodynamic shape of this car requires at least thousands of wind tunnel tests before it can be finalized. Except for Dongchen, this is a costly and difficult task for any automobile manufacturing company in the world.
Difficult task.
The sc1 created a new era of automobiles on the Dresden track, with an astonishing output of 1,300 horsepower, perfect coordination of the 10-speed gearbox, and a top speed of 560 kilometers. This test result completely shamed the entire public.
Jeremy was also conquered by this super beast full of science fiction colors. Due to the exponential increase in fuel consumption at top speed, the car was refilled with fuel more than 10 times throughout the whole day of testing, but Jeremy remained the same.
The interest did not diminish, so much so that the other two hosts had extremely itchy hands and tried their best to drag Jeremy out of the sc1.
When the test basically came to an end, Jeremy finally got out of the car. He needed to conduct a simple interview with Zhang Wenhao, and in the distance within the camera lens, Charlie Hammond and James May were competing for each other.
In the end, James May failed to take over the driving right of SC1 and sat in the co-pilot with a look of reluctance.
Jeremy asked Zhang Wenhao excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, this sc1 is the top model hand-customized by Dongchen. Does that mean that this car will never be mass-produced?"
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "The so-called mass production still depends on how high its market recognition is. High recognition also depends on the response of the market's purchasing power. The final selling price of this sc1, conservatively estimated, will definitely be
More than 50 million yuan, which is equivalent to more than 5 million pounds. I think there are very few consumers who can accept this price. Therefore, we decided to adopt the order sales model, 20% deposit, six months
Delivery within 1 hour. If only one consumer buys it, then we will produce one. If 10,000 consumers buy it, then we will produce 10,000 units. In short, everything is left to the consumer to decide."
Jeremy nodded slightly. At this time, Zhang Wenhao added: "But we can reveal a piece of news to global consumers through topgear, that is, we have submitted the relevant documents of sc1 to the EU and North American automobile markets for review. That is to say
, these two locations will become the first market for sc1 to enter. Once sc1 passes the review, consumers can directly contact Dongchen to order."
"Oh God!" Jeremy shook his head in amazement and said, "I can't imagine what it will be like when I see this sc1 on the streets of London one day. For five million pounds, I think I will buy it.
It’s amazing, but if I saw a real car, I’d probably want to learn how to steal it!”
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "If you want to buy an SC1, I think Dongchen can definitely give you a satisfactory discount price."
Jeremy shook his head and said: "Even if you give it to me, I don't think I can afford such a monster. Not to mention anything else, just changing the tires every five thousand kilometers is enough to bankrupt me.
After 1,000 kilometers, I have to spend 100,000 pounds to find Michelin to replace the tires, which is equivalent to a usage cost of more than 20 pounds per kilometer, which is much more expensive than any first-class service in the world."
With that, Jeremy said to the camera: "As I said, this SC1 is really the ultimate luxury product that only the super rich can consider. If you don't have a net worth of 100 million US dollars, then you'd better not buy it.
Consider buying it, otherwise the ongoing costs alone are enough to bankrupt you."
Entering the next step, Jeremy said: "Currently, we have seen many comments from consumers online. Some of them hope that Land Rover can use Dongchen's four-wheel drive system, and they also hope that Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and even Lexus can use it."
High-end cars can be equipped with Dongchen's interactive system, and some people hope that best-selling models such as Focus, Golf and Corolla can use Dongchen's engines to improve their cost performance and environmental performance. On this point, we have also cooperated with many cars
I have contacted the production company and heard that almost all first-tier automobile manufacturing companies have made requests to Dongchen to introduce Dongchen technology, but without exception, they have not received any reply from Dongchen. On this point, Mr. Zhang
Can you explain, under the premise that Dongchen's production capacity is insufficient, why Dongchen does not use technical cooperation to earn higher profits for itself? I personally feel that if Dongchen authorizes Land Rover to install Dongchen's four-wheel drive system,
Then every Range Rover equipped with Dongchen's four-wheel drive system is likely to bring Dongchen an income of at least 20,000 pounds, which is equivalent to 200,000 pounds in RMB."
Zhang Wenhao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Dongchen's current production capacity has been greatly improved through the operation of the Huahe Alliance, and now Dongchen's own new production line has been completed. Although this coverage of Dongchen
There is still a big gap between the world's goals, but Dongchen believes that in today's society and the manufacturing industry, the only indicator that can distinguish strength is the degree of technological advancement. Dongchen does not have a long enough brand history and heritage.
Occupying a place in the market depends entirely on Dongchen's superior advanced technology. Therefore, Dongchen cannot transfer or license out its unique technology in any form. Even if the profits are high, Dongchen will not do it.
"
Jeremy asked in surprise: "What about the Huahe Alliance? I heard that the members of the Huahe Alliance are now using Dongchen's second-tier technology."
Zhang Wenhao nodded and smiled: "Because they are all Chinese companies, I think Dongchen, as a private car manufacturing company in China, has the responsibility and obligation to help other domestic car brands and enhance their competitiveness. I think you should know that before
The prices of foreign brands' products in China have been reduced one after another. This unfair competition has had a huge impact on other Chinese car brands. If things are allowed to continue to develop, then China's local car brands, except for Dongchen, will probably
No one else can continue to survive.”
Jeremy nodded slightly and said: "So you established the Huahe Alliance, and this alliance has clear nationality restrictions, right? In the future, the Huahe Alliance will never absorb any overseas brands.
?”
"That's right." Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "Automobile manufacturing is global, but the market must be divided by national borders. In the past Chinese automobile market, Chinese own brands could only survive hard on their own doorstep. Overseas markets were almost the same as
They have no chance, but the emergence of Dongchen is to change this historical pattern. Dongchen's cars will be sold all over the world, to any country and region that welcomes Dongchen, and our other domestic brands, in Dongchen
With the help of the company, it will also gradually enter overseas markets. I think the entire Huahe Alliance has only one concept, and that is to dedicate the best, or the most environmentally friendly and economical cars to consumers around the world who need them."
Jeremy sighed helplessly and said: "I don't know if Land Rover will still have room for survival if the Dongchen C series officially appears in the international market, but as a Land Rover fan for many years, I sincerely hope that Dongchen
One day I will be able to cooperate with Land Rover. Maybe this day will never come, but I am still full of expectations."
At this time, Charlie Hammond ran over quickly and said with great excitement: "Oh my god, I just tried to let the a1 interactive system modify the lock of the trip computer, and it actually succeeded!"
Jeremy frowned and asked: "What do you mean? You let the driving computer modify the driving computer yourself?"
"That's right!" Charlie said excitedly: "I think a 1,300-horsepower super beast cannot have the same acceleration performance as a 1,000-horsepower Bugatti. I think the ECU must be hiding something, so I tried to interact with a1
System dialogue, and it really realized my idea, it unlocked the shackles of the ECU for me, and I realized how powerful the acceleration performance of this car is!"
Zhang Wenhao smiled helplessly and said: "The ECU locks the horsepower output during acceleration because if the acceleration is too fast, the driver's body will suffer great discomfort."
Charlie bent over with a smile and said: "That's right! It was James who was driving just now, and I asked him to press the interaction button and let A1 modify the ECU. The subsequent acceleration performance was that it only took an incredible 1.1 seconds to reach 0100 kilometers.
Then...then James stopped the car, pushed open the door, staggered to the curb, and vomited all the pizza he had last night!"
Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "This is a restriction we have specially added for the driver's personal safety, but now it is a bug we designed. The setting of the a1 interactive system is completely open to users. Now open it.
On sc1, we need to modify the data of the driving computer to force the acceleration time from 0 to 100 kilometers to more than 1.8 seconds." (To be continued...)
