If Mason hadn't called Li Fanyu to ask if he wanted to defend his rights against Hennessey's announcement, Li Fanyu wouldn't have known that he had been labeled a "thief"!
So after seeing the announcement on Hennessey's official website, he immediately canceled his plan to return to China. He went directly to the OEM factory in Detroit and called Mason and Little Culbo together.
"Boss, are you saying that you want to upgrade the RS immediately?"
"That's right!" Li Fanyu waved his fist fiercely, "Originally I didn't plan to take this matter seriously, but after reading the announcement, I changed my mind! Since Guinness gave it a month , then we still have hope to win back the honor!”
Seeing Li Fanyu's determined face, Mason slapped her hard: "Boss, if RS can run at top speed without using the NOS nitrogen and oxygen system, then our launch preparations will not be affected at all!"
"Why do you say that?"
Faced with Li Fanyu's question, Mason spread his hands: "Boss, don't think about grudges, just profit! For the title of King of Speed, RS has competed twice with Hennessey, the most famous tuning factory in the United States. You Do you know how big a topic this has caused?
You must know that the products of Hennessey tuning factory represent the ultimate performance in the American market. We want to run a high-performance sports car. Is there any way that is more convenient and powerful than riding on a Hennessey? !
Moreover, if we can win this war in one month, then we can defeat Hennessey three times with the RS car. This will undoubtedly be a huge improvement for our brand awareness among sports car fans. Car fans It will be crazy!
I bet that if we use the RS without NOS system to defend our honor and the title of King of Speed, the RS car will definitely become popular in the North American market without even having to do publicity after it is launched! ”
Li Fanyu had never thought about this. At this time, he did not consider too many interests in his heart. He was just hurt by Hennessey's remarks and took a gamble.
But when Mason said it, it seemed pretty good.
This is exactly the case,
As long as RS maintains the world record without relying on the NOS system, the original launch plan does not need to change at all. And as Mason said, stepping on Hennessey to get the upper hand is undoubtedly the best publicity for RS.
Thinking of this, he nodded. Just as he was about to ask Mason to allocate R&D funds immediately to upgrade the RS again, he saw little Culbo on the side with a pensive look on his face.
Li Fanyu then noticed that little Kuerbo seemed to have not spoken since just now.
"Kulbo, do you have any questions?"
Hearing Li Fanyu's call, little Kulbao took off the hand on his chin, "Ah, oh. For production, I have studied RS carefully during this time. Boss, if we If you want to cancel the NOS system and make the RS run at a speed of more than 450Km/h, it will be very difficult..."
How could Li Fanyu not know this.
"Tell me what you think?"
"Well, with all due respect, the internal layout of the RS is too poor. It is a miracle that you and the team can improve the performance of this car to this level. As for further enhancing the performance, it is A more powerful engine can be used, such as the V16 used in Pumns.
But...but the weight of V16 is about 300KG, and its size is too large. You can tell by looking at the overall layout of Punms. In order to accommodate this big machine, it adopts a mid-mounted layout. But RS is a model built on a front-end platform. If V16 is forcibly implanted on RS...
Then the only way is to heighten the front end of its hood and lengthen the front of the car, making it look like a complete Pinocchio. In that case, the lines of the entire car will become very weird. Wind resistance... may also reach a very disappointing coefficient. ”
Li Fanyu has a solution to the problem that little Kuerbo mentioned!
The V16 engine is actually two V8s connected side by side. With the same V-shaped layout, the way to put two V8s together is to connect them vertically...
So the V-shaped 16-cylinder arrangement makes the entire engine look like a rectangular rubber shape.
Punms’ prototype, the RF-Aventado, uses a mid-mounted rear-wheel drive layout typical of supercars. That is to say, the entire second row of seats has been eliminated and is used to load the engine. So their V16 engine is super big,
This is undoubtedly a big challenge for the limited cabin layout of RS.
When he made up his mind to upgrade the RS again, Li Fanyu had already thought about the power issue.
The W12 engine mounted on the A8 has allowed Li Fanyu, Wang Rui and others to squeeze out the ultimate performance. If you go further, you have to sacrifice the durability of the engine.
So on the plane when they arrived, Li Fanyu had already thought of the engine solution; in the database of the system space, there was a model equipped with a relatively small engine, but its performance was not inferior to that of the Aventador V16!
Hearing this question raised by little Coulbo, he casually picked up a pen and paper on his desk. It only took a moment to outline an outline of great mechanical beauty.
And on this outline, the approximate dimensions and data are marked.
"Kulbo, what do you think of the size of this engine?"
Little Culbo frowned and picked up the sketch, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then asked doubtfully: "Boss, can a V16 engine achieve this size? Which company produced it? Why haven't I heard of it? ."
Hearing this question, Li Fan smiled foolishly.
"This is an engine developed by Zhengxin but has not yet been put into production. But if I need it, I can make it quickly, so you don't have to think about these issues."
Little Coulbo was deeply surprised by this; his boss and his magical group were becoming more and more incomprehensible to him.
Zhengxin has only been established for more than a year, but it already has four engines, the ZGX series, L4V6V10W12, and a ZGX diesel engine installed on the F150 and Fighter.
This kind of research and development strength can no longer be described as terrifying!
The guest looked at Li Fanyu's questioning eyes. He didn't have time to think about these questions. After thinking about it, he said: "The size of the hole punch I just mentioned is a problem. If you can really make this kind of exquisite V16, then we need to solve another problem,
The second difficulty lies in the layout of RS.
The weight of the W12 engine currently installed on the RS is about 240KG, which has disrupted the weight ratio for the RS, so you added the NOS system, right? ”
Seeing Li Fanyu nod, Little Kuerbo continued: "The weight of your V16 engine is 260KG! If this larger and heavier engine is implanted into the front of the RS, then what will happen? When the layout is changed, with all due respect to the boss, if the thing we made turns at high speed, the weight of the front of the car will make the car plunge to the side of the road.
Of course, the situation of not being able to turn is still a good thing,
Have you ever thought about it, this V16 engine is very long after all. If you install this in the RS, the space in the entire engine compartment will be tight.
I just want to ask a question. If this big and delicate thing is placed vertically in the RS, where should the gearbox be placed? ”
Li Fanyu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head,
Good luck!
When I came here, I was only thinking about power, but this point... I missed it!
