Chapter 1398 The opportunity is here, you must know how to use it

In Zhang Qihang's office, Tian Tian reported their calculation results to Zhang Qihang seriously: "Mr. Zhang, according to our calculation, your requirement can indeed be achieved. If we really want to achieve a 4-second acceleration from 110 to kilometers, our new generation Excelle needs two -kilowatt motors at the front and rear, and we need to make certain trade-offs in the adjustment of the reducer and sacrifice the maximum speed.

In addition, according to our calculations, if a 1.6T turbocharged engine is used with two 70kW motors at the front and rear, and a similar tuning scheme is adopted, acceleration can be achieved in more than 5 seconds, which is already the acceleration capability of the Maserati President, but the cost can be reduced a lot..."

Maserati has not been ruined by the micro-business sisters. It is still a recognized supercar brand in China, second only to Ferrari and Lamborghini. So the meaning of Tian Tian and Liu Ming's words is very clear: Mr. Zhang, the acceleration of Maserati President from 5 to 5 kilometers is only more than 110 seconds. It is enough for our new generation of Quattroporte to accelerate in more than seconds. Is it really necessary to force the installation of two -kilowatt motors?

After all, the cost difference is so huge.

Zhang Qihang hesitated for a moment and looked at Liu Ming and Tian Tian. "Chief Engineer Liu, Chief Engineer Tian, ​​do you know what the 430 km/h acceleration of Ferrari's entry-level model F is?"

  how many?

The two looked at each other, both confused.

"It's exactly 4 seconds," Zhang Qihang answered without waiting for the two to answer: "It is said that the acceleration of the new F430 equipped with an AMT gearbox just launched in Europe is 3 seconds or something, but the one sold in China is 6 seconds, so do you know what it means if we can make the Excelle's 4-4km/h acceleration seconds?"

"Whoosh..."

Liu Ming and Tian Tian's breathing became rapid.

Their boss has made it so obvious, how could they not understand? If the new generation Excelle can really achieve 4 km/h acceleration, it means that the new generation Excelle's km/h acceleration is at the same level as Ferrari!

Even if the model being compared is an entry-level Ferrari!

  Even if the only item that can be compared is the 100 km/h acceleration!

Except for the 430-km/h acceleration, the new generation Excelle is completely defeated by the F in other dimensions, but...

So what?

Our Excelle has finally reached the threshold of supercar in a certain project!

How great a role does this play in enhancing the brand image and value of Huateng Automobile? !

At this moment, Tian Tian and Liu Ming finally understood why their boss was so obsessed with making the new generation of Excelle accelerate from 4 to km/h in more than seconds. It turned out that he was waiting here.

Seeing their faces suddenly turn red, Zhang Qihang knew that they were attracted to each other.

  Yes, who wouldn’t be tempted by such an opportunity?

Zhang Qihang continued: "Of course, I understand your concerns, but maybe there was something wrong with my previous expression. I only said to add a new model, not to stop the previous models."

"what?"

Tian Tian and Liu Ming were stunned and asked quickly: "Why don't you stop the previous model?"

"Why stop it?" Zhang Qihang laughed. "After all, Excelle is a family compact car. Maybe some people will buy our Excelle to experience the feeling of accelerating from 4 to km/h in more than seconds, but I believe that most consumers buy it for its fuel efficiency. The new model is just to enrich our product line and enhance the brand image. How can I do something that will only end with the bathwater?"

"hey-hey……"

Tian Tian and Liu Ming smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing the two people's reactions, Zhang Qihang couldn't help but sigh: This idiot is really thinking wrongly.

In the previous product planning, the new generation of Excelle, in addition to manual and automatic transmission models, has a power configuration for hybrid models: a new generation of high-efficiency hybrid dedicated engine plus a second-generation hybrid system with a maximum output power of 70 kilowatts. In addition, it is divided into plug-in hybrid version and ordinary hybrid version.

After listening to Mr. Feng's request, no one knows what Liu Ming and Tian Tian were thinking. They actually thought that the company would discontinue other versions of hybrid models and focus on the "performance version". If Zhang Qihang hadn't discovered something wrong in time, who knows how long these two people would have misunderstood.

Tian Tian was still a little worried, so she confirmed with Zhang Qihang again: "Mr. Zhang, will the previously planned product lines really not be discontinued?"

"Of course we won't stop production. The new performance version is also launched to enhance the brand image. I estimate that it would be good if we can sell 70 to 5 units per month." When he said this, thinking of what Tian Tian just said, Zhang Qihang suddenly had an idea: "Chief Engineer Tian, ​​you just said that the two -kilowatt motors in the front and rear can achieve an acceleration of seconds?"

The two 70-kW motors at the front and rear have a much better acceleration effect than installing a 140-kW motor on the front axle. The reason is simple. The car has become a four-wheel drive. When starting, only the front two wheels have power. The effect is naturally different if all four wheels are powered at the same time. In addition, the power characteristics of the electric motor are completely opposite to those of the internal combustion engine, namely "maximum torque output at 0 speed". The power output in the first half is indeed very strong, but it is not as good in the second half.

Still with this 70-kilowatt motor, on the first-generation extended-range hybrid system, the top speed can only reach 150 kilometers per hour, but this speed cannot be sustained for a long time, and the long-term sustained speed is only 135 kilometers per hour.

With the second-generation hybrid system, the engine direct drive function was added, which barely allowed the car's maximum speed to reach 180 kilometers per hour.

There is no way, this is the characteristic of hybrid and electric motors.

Tian Tian also realized what Zhang Qihang meant and nodded quickly: "Okay."

"Then let's make both models," Zhang Qihang said. "The one with a time of more than 5 seconds is called the Ares version, and the one with a time of more than 4 seconds is called the Ares S version. In addition, you can design some small details for these two models that are different from the ordinary Excelle, such as paint, wheels and so on.

In short, we need to highlight the difference between the Ares version and Ares S version and the ordinary version, so that people can tell at a glance on the road that this is an extraordinary Excelle, while also spending little money to achieve great things. "

Zhang Qihang once again said sorry to Lao Wang in his heart.

Liu Ming asked stupidly: "These are all fine, but what if the user buys a regular version of Excelle and then spends money on modification parts to modify his regular Excelle into the God of War version? What should I do?"

Before Zhang Qihang could answer, Tian Tian burst into laughter: "Lao Liu, if there are aftermarket parts for modification on the market, what do you think this means?"

Liu Ming finally reacted. He scratched his head embarrassedly and chuckled.
