Automotive Black Technology Chapter 280: ：Meet your opponent in chess
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
Li Fanyu has taught Lou Lu all the essentials, and the next stage will require her to master them herself. The little girl was not clingy after getting the benefit. What Li Fanyu taught her in one morning was enough for her to digest for several days.
As the saying goes, the master leads you in, and cultivation lies in the individual.
No one else can help with the proficiency process. She can only let her practice and understand by herself.
Withdrawing from the role of master, Li Fanyu did not rest for this reason.
Because...the one who challenged me is here.
According to his original plan, after the TT was discontinued, he would immediately launch a new model for the female market. At present, the laboratory is working hard to catch up with the progress and strive to complete it as soon as possible to fill the market gap after TT is discontinued.
But... Mazda, Alfa Romeo and a few red-eyed guys all came on stage and announced the launch of their own models for the female car market.
In this way, the virgin land of the fashionable women’s car market has become a bus.
The model that Zhengxin is incubating will definitely face fierce competition...
In line with the policy and strategy of knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle, Li Fanyu must pay attention to these competing models.
The first one to board the bus was Mazda.
On March 1, Mazda held a press conference. Major Chinese automotive media were invited to announce the upcoming launch of an entry-level sports car for the Chinese market.
At the product launch, the appearance of the model named MX-E was revealed. Also exposed was the astonishing selling price.
That’s right! Not 998,000, not 558,000, just 250,000, two-door trot home!
Ahem, although at the press conference, the spokesperson of Mazda spoke very artistically and emotionally. This "entry-level sports car" that accelerates to 100 kilometers in "only" 9.8 seconds is called "a dream car that combines price, reliability, fun and daily driving, and achieves the ultimate."
But... Anyway, the core meaning is; "I have good looks, and I'm very cheap. Anyone who can't buy TT will buy me."... So that's the deal.
Li Fanyu had actually been mentally prepared for Mazda's move.
TT is so popular, it’s impossible not to follow suit. In front of the widow's door...no...there are many rights and wrongs in popular cars. Nowadays, the fashionable women's car market has been opened up by itself. Just like a beautiful girl with a bare butt, all men with no sexual dysfunction want to have **** with her. .
This is not incomprehensible.
But after understanding the configuration and performance parameters of MX-E, Li Fanyu couldn't help but laugh.
He thought that because he created the TT that did not exist in this time and space, he indirectly smoothed the process of history and allowed Mazda to create the MX5, a people-friendly sports car.
But after looking at it, he found that this was not the case at all.
Although in a time and space where the history of automobiles has not changed, the performance of the MX-5 can only be said to be average, but at least some work has been done on some key parts.
For example, good control performance and various extreme performance at a low price.
If nothing else, the hard top that can be opened and closed in two seconds is enough to show the sincerity of the MX-5.
The hard-top folding function is a feature that can only be seen on high-priced sports cars.
The most important thing is... at such a low vehicle price, its workmanship is quite good, at least there is no leakage. This point put countless convertible car manufacturers to shame at the time.
But the current MX-E cannot do that. Perhaps out of considerations of reducing costs, lowering prices, and enhancing competitiveness, only a black soft top is used on this model.
Paired with the concept map unveiled at the press conference, the orange body is infinitely similar to that of the TT, and it always seems to be a bit...cheap.
Although according to the official data, the opening and closing speed of this roof is also good, the cost of the folding soft top is actually very cheap.
Judging from the configurations that have been exposed so far...Li Fanyu feels that this product really has nothing to do with the MX-5.
It is completely unique to Mazda in this time and space.
The 1.6L self-priming engine is deeply imprinted with Mazda's "unchanged and unchanging" family car flavor.
The five-speed manual gearbox...well, as you said, it has an inseparable operating feel compared to the automatic gearbox.
The curb weight is about 1100KG... OK, I believe you when you say it is lightweight.
But... as an "entry-level sports car"... why the **** do you use front-wheel drive? !
In the previous time and space, although the MX-5 started to sell for US$30,000, which is equivalent to 180,000 RMB, it was also equipped with a sports car power layout such as front and rear drive, okay?
What is the most important thing about a sports car? What a sense of speed and control!
And now this freak doesn't even need to see a real car, Li Fanyu feels that Juebi has no chance with these two things.
No matter how well the suspension is adjusted, a front-wheel drive vehicle will definitely not be able to achieve the control feeling of a front-wheel drive vehicle.
The 0-100KM/H acceleration time of more than 9 seconds is worse than some current family cars.
So in Li Fanyu's view, apart from its pretty eye-catching appearance, this car has no redeeming qualities.
Two hundred and fifty-eight thousand, Li Fanyu felt that the price was a bit too high; this is obviously a family compact car in the shell of a sports car.
For such a competitor, he simply passed on it - the grade was too low, it was a scam, and it was not on the same level as the TT or the model currently being developed by Zhengxin.
And Alfa Romeo is much more interesting.
Alfa Romeo's model design seems to always look like a bird, but I have to say that this is really a brand that can surprise people.
Li Fanyu is quite interested in the Ramondo they released immediately after Mazda MX-E.
Although the price has not been announced, it is obvious that the positioning of Lamondo should be similar to that of TT.
After all, in terms of size and layout, Ramondo looks very much like TT. And the so-called "most classic V6 engine of this century" is also pretty good in terms of performance. Although the technology is a bit old, he is still a powerful player who once made all the difference. It's not much better than Mazda's **** 1.6L self-priming car. If nothing else happens, breaking 100 seconds in six seconds should be a success.
What stood out to Li Fanyu the most was Ramondo’s appearance. Different from Mazda's flashy and dynamic style piled up with various shapes, Lamondo's appearance shows the graceful and round lines like a female body except for the cute front face.
When Li Fanyu first saw the appearance renderings of Ramondo, he actually didn’t feel much at all. But after checking out the parameters and performance of this model, and looking back at it, I suddenly felt that this was a very unique appearance.
Why do we talk about personality?
Because ordinary car companies strive to make consumers attracted by the appearance of the vehicle at a glance, but this car Lamondo is definitely one of those "beautiful women at second sight"!
Yes, the more you look at it, the better it tastes!
Li Fanyu also experienced this feeling in the previous time and space. Coincidentally, it is also a classic model of Alfa Romeo.
The 8C is known as "the most beautiful car in the world"!
Can.a.car.be.art?
This is how Europeans originally evaluated 8C.
It means; how can a car (referring to 8C) become art?
So Li Fanyu directly passed over the two funny cars behind Chevrolet and Barker, and focused on Ramondo. Comparing it with the car model that Zhengxin was developing, his lips curled up.
Ha, interesting.
You meet your opponent in chess. (To be continued.)
