Automotive Black Technology Chapter 588: : Revolutionary layout structure!

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!

It is not difficult for Li Fanyu to build a car that can surpass Punms in terms of speed. If you are really impatient and are willing to use the research and development points, you can exchange it for one in the space in minutes.

But according to the rules given by Guinness, RS must be used as the basis for upgrading and transformation. With the A4's front-engine platform, this is too restrictive.

What does this feel like without borrowing the NOS system?

A bit like the rush to transform a Formula 3 car into a Formula 1 car,

Faced with this question raised by little Kulbo, Li Fan made a mistake;

With increased power, the cabin space is not enough, and the gearbox is squeezed out,

What about using the W12 engine? There is not much room for performance improvement, and the power is not enough to support the RS's top speed of more than 450KM/h.

This is a bit of a dead end.

Li Fanyu fell silent.

After thinking for a long time, he considered widening the body of the car and placing the engine sideways. He also thought about lengthening the front of the car by fifty centimeters... but he rejected all the exceptions.

If he modified the RS in these ways, he would not dare to drive it himself...

So after thinking hard and finding no solution, he asked Culbo Jr. and Mason to first allocate manpower and funds to make preparations.

I stood in front of the window of the OEM office, staring blankly at the Detroit street scene that seemed to be stained with a layer of dust.

What should we do to perfectly combine the V16 and the gearbox and put it in the engine compartment with limited capacity in the RS?

What method should be used to achieve a balance in the weight ratio of the RS equipped with a V16 engine, which can not only satisfy the power performance but also take into account the handling performance?

......

His mind was running rapidly, thinking about various possibilities, and his brows slowly formed the character "Sichuan".

The street slowly turned from gray to dark, and then from dark to colorful spots. The scenery outside the window changes from the setting sun to the beginning of the lanterns, and then returns to the silence of the night.

I don’t know how long it took before the corners of Li Fanyu’s mouth slowly turned up...

......

Little Kuerbo came to the company the next day and received a call from Li Fanyu, asking him to come to the office immediately. Listening to the tired but excited voice on the phone, Coulbo trotted over.

When he opened the office door, he saw Li Fanyu, whose hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot. He had turned his real office into a sea of ​​waste paper.

Carefully picking up a piece of manuscript paper and looking at the messy sketches on it, little Coulbo asked doubtfully: "Yu, what are you doing?"

Hearing his inquiry, Li Fanyu quickly gathered the drafts, walked to little Kuerbo, and pulled him to the desk with excitement on his face.

"Look, this is what I came up with!"

As he said that, he put a dozen drafts into little Coulbo's hands.

Looking at Li Fanyu, who looked like a Frankenstein monster, little Coulbo looked through the draft in his hand suspiciously.

Strictly speaking, the draft is divided into two parts.

The first part is the V16 engine code-named Kuafu. Although little Coulbo did not have a thorough understanding of Chinese culture, he had also heard of this legend of chasing the sun.

But that's not important.

The important thing is that the engine, which is only on the sketch, is square and dignified. It looks so charming!

The slightly long and narrow, but not heavy, fuselage is covered with a black engine hood that looks like plate armor. There are five sets of gears of different sizes at the nose and sixteen thick intake and exhaust pipes distributed on both sides under the fuselage, which seem to demonstrate the vigorous power of this engine!

Although the sketch is not very particular, and I don’t know how the engine performs. But little Culbo believes that just from the shape of the engine, if this engine is manufactured and made public, it will definitely cause a new trend in the appearance of engines!

After spending a lot of energy to suppress the shock in his heart, little Coulbo opened the second sketch.

As soon as I saw the first sketch, which is the new general layout of RS, little Culbo's mouth couldn't be closed anymore!

If the Kuafu engine just now shocked little Culbo, then this part fundamentally overturned his understanding of car layout and structure!

Because according to the design on this sketch, the new RS layout, the engine and gearbox are not connected together at all!

Not only are they not connected together!

According to Li Fanyu's design, the V16 engine was placed directly vertically in the limited engine compartment, and the gearbox was moved near the rear axle, forming a slave with the main reducer and differential. Unseen wholeness!

The two assemblies that should be closely connected are separated by nearly two meters in this sketch. Between this distance, a transmission shaft is used to solve the connection between the engine and the gearbox.

The layout of this front engine and rear gearbox, little Culbo swears to God, he has never seen it before!

"Stupid! Are you sure this method is feasible?!"

After being stunned for a long time, little Coulbo's eyes widened, he raised his head and asked eagerly.

"Of course! I will call this arrangement the engine and transmission split front and rear. In fact, there is nothing special about this method. It just puts the engine in the front and uses the transmission shaft to turn the RS into a rear-wheel drive car!

In this way, we can overcome the shortcomings of the RS's narrow engine compartment and front-facing platform. You see, the V16 engine can be completely installed as long as the hood is slightly raised. Placing the gearbox at the rear, together with the main reducer and differential, increases the weight of the rear of the car. This will solve the problem of increased engine weight and unbalanced body weight ratio! ”

This is a genius idea!

Kulbo, who is proficient in model research and development, immediately realized this after hearing Li Fanyu’s simple explanation.

Changing the RS to a layout where the engine and transmission are separated at the front and rear, all the previously exposed problems and troubles were solved at once. And the car's power performance and handling performance have been greatly improved!

Although the sketch given by Li Fanyu was very crude, after thinking about it in his mind, little Kulbao knew that this method was theoretically feasible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Fool! You created a completely new way of body layout! This is a pioneering work! Oh my god, you will be remembered in the history of automobiles!"

Ha!

Don’t say that, I’m very ashamed.

Li Fan smiled foolishly and said nothing.

The contents of the two sketches actually originated from his memories of the previous time and space.

To say it is a pioneering work is a bit unjustifiable.

But to a certain extent, it makes sense.

The layout of the engine and transmission separated at the front and rear is actually nothing. In the time and space before the historical process has not changed, excellent sports cars such as the Corvette C6 and Mercedes-Benz SLS were all used.

But...

This V16 engine is the Cadillac V16 powered by Sixteen, which represented Cadillac's top R&D and manufacturing technology in that time and space before the historical process changed!

With a front and rear split layout of the engine and transmission, a car equipped with a Cadillac V16 is definitely a revolution in power and transmission!

For an RS modified from a B-segment car platform, it is an unparalleled innovation!
