C259 Model Confirmed
C259 Model Confirmed
At this moment, the huge parking lot was surrounded by people. Their eyes were staring at them. They were the two cars that were roaring in a low voice, and coincidentally... These two cars were both red in color, and they had an outstanding appearance. People couldn't help but think of the word passion.
Although it was only a relatively amateur test, it still made everyone look forward to it. The chief engineer of the general assembly department stood in the middle of the two cars and announced with a loudspeaker, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a big day for our Dongchen Automobile. Our first model has finally officially gone offline, although this model has yet to be named. No model, but it's our new step. Furthermore, it is very likely to be a big step! "
Saying so, he continued: "Our conditions are limited, and we have never tested a new car before. But today... We'll use our own methods... To perform the simplest and most direct test on these two cars, I now declare... The first test is the acceleration test from zero to a hundred kilometers! Please, the two examiners in our co-pilot seat, concentrate and try your best to test out the most precise number!"
Everyone cheered. The drivers and copilot of the two cars were also on standby. The chief engineer raised his right hand and shouted," Ready! 3, 2, 1, start! "
After giving the order, the two cars instantly rushed out. At first, they advanced side by side, but the van quickly gained the upper hand. They kept pulling apart the gap between them and the van behind them. After a while, the van started to slow down, and the other van... It also started to slow down.
The co-pilot of the two cars announced the acceleration time of the two cars from a halt to a hundred kilometers through the walkie-talkie. The van was the first to show the result.
"6.96 seconds!"
This data was shouted out loudly by the chief engineer through the loudspeaker! In an instant, over a thousand people on the scene exploded!
6.96 seconds. It was hard to believe that this number came from a 1.4T car! This number was already on par with 2.0t's Cool! One had to know that the power of this car was 30 horsepower lower than the Cool of 2.0T. However... Although the overall power was not as high as the Cool, the engine entered the state at a faster rate. Moreover, the car was light, so the acceleration could reach such a shocking number.
The data of the third car was also quickly displayed. 7.35 seconds, similarly a surprising result!
6.96 seconds of acceleration was basically equivalent to Cool 2. The tank 0, BMW Z4, Mercedes-Benz E350, and Volvo S80L were the same. However, its displacement was the lowest among all the cars.
7.35 seconds Its speed was also comparable to Mercedes-Benz C200, and it was slightly faster than Volkswagen CC. But don't forget, the location of these two cars... Both cars were around 15.2 million, which was much lower than the cars with the same performance!
The workers were in an uproar. Just this 1.4T engine alone... They could see that Dong Chen had done very well. It was not an exaggeration to say that it had reached the world's first-class standard. This had greatly subverted their previous estimation of Dong Chen's strength. One should know that they had only set Dong Chen as a low-tier domestic brand on the same level as Gilley, Biardi, and Qirui. However, from the looks of it now, Dong Chen had the absolute advantage in terms of technical strength! In the future, he would definitely be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with those foreign first-tier brands.
After that, the car would have to undergo many experiments, such as steering wheel, braking, and extreme speed. However, Zhang Yunfeng had already locked down the maximum speed of these two cars at 210 kilometers, although the car had the ability to break through this speed. The weight of the car, the chassis, and the suspension system were all at the middle and low end, even if the engine was powerful. It would be more dangerous to drive a car above 210 km / h. So... Zhang Yunfeng was no longer interested in the test below.
When he arrived at his office in the assembly line, Zhang Yunfeng took out a few pieces of A4 paper and randomly wrote a few letters on it.
Zhang Yunfeng was still worried about the model of the car. He was ready to listen to Nie Minhui's advice. He also used the simple method that Audi used to locate the model of the car. It was a letter. There was also a number, but in Zhang Yunfeng's mind, among them... The letters represented the model of the vehicle. The numbers represented the model of the vehicle of different grades.
The English word of the car is Salon, so the total letters of the car system can be used as an S to represent... In other words, S series. However, the coverage of the car is also the widest. Two vans, three vans, home cars, business cars and luxury cars, if all of them are used to represent S... Then there might be a lot of numbers at the back. And it was a mess. It made it very difficult for consumers to distinguish the model of each car.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yunfeng decided to use the simplest method. Each car, each grade, would only be introduced as a basic model. Then, he would use this basic model to define the difference between the ordinary version and the advanced version.
For example, his own van would be defined as S1. In the future, he would only introduce this model of van. If you change the model, then use the age limit to differentiate. For example, 2010 S1, 2011 S1, 2012 S1, then, the consumers would choose different configurations based on S1.
As for his own entry-level miniature three-car, it would be defined as S2.
Medium and high-end three-car would be defined as S3. If the next step was to enter the luxury car series... It would be launched into S4, business car S5. Luxurious business car S6. If you have a convertible, use S7. If any car has a lengthened version, use S7. Use the internationally commonly used I, meaning long, meaning long. For example, S6. If any car had a high-performance version, he would add an X behind its model. It meant "high-performance version." For example, a high-performance convertible would be S6X. X meant performance, and the English letter X represented mystery and unknown. Using this letter to represent high performance, I believe it will definitely become the highest representative in the eyes of consumers in the future. For example, BMW's M, Mercedes-Benz's AMG and so on.
In this way, his classification was basically the same as Audi's A series. For example, the Alain 3 minivan, the A4 medium-sized trivan, and so on. The A5 sedan, the A6 high-end commercial vehicle, the A7 high-end sedan, a8 high class business car.
In this way, Zhang Yunfeng could at least develop several levels of cars. Furthermore, each car would have at least four different configurations, such as the low-end version, the ordinary version, the comfortable version, the luxurious version, and so on. There would be at least a few dozen cars, covering a car system. That was enough.
There were many types of cars, and the classification was a bit more complicated. But if it were to be expanded to other models, it wouldn't be so troublesome. For example, an SUV could be defined as a C series in the English words of a boss. It could also be imitated as a Land Rover, and be directly defined by a name. It wouldn't be too late to consider this when they were about to introduce a similar model in the future.
After confirming the model location, these three models were respectively called S1, S2, and S3. Among them, S3 had already reached the level of middle-class cars. So... It could give rise to a lengthened version, which was also S3L, which could also increase the power of the vehicle. It can also give birth to a motion version, S3X.
In that case, just these three cars, together with their different configurations... Then we can cover the whole price range from $150,000 to $700,000. If the S3 had an X version, the price could even reach 800,000 and above.
Zhang Yunfeng had his own unique opinion. He was not willing to be a low-end car. Because if it was too low-end, it would lower the consumers' recognition of this brand. But he did not want to introduce a high-end car immediately because... The consumers already had their own brand knowledge about high-end cars and had their own preference for brands. If a newly developed domestic brand were to introduce high-end cars immediately... People who loved face and liked imported goods would definitely not buy it.
Therefore, Dong Chen's market, his reputation, and his brand were all very high. All of them had to start from these three models to gradually expand. As long as these three models had enough shares in the market, they would be able to get enough recognition. At that time, it would be a matter of time before the high-end cars were launched.
The hardware configuration of the S1, apart from the engine and the gearbox, also included the hardware configuration of the S1. ... It was basically at the same level as a Volkswagen golf, plus its gearbox had a high degree of wear resistance... The maintenance fees could be halved, and the core of it was even more important. In other words, if the fuel consumption of an engine was almost the same as that of an engine of the same level... The performance would increase by at least 30%. In other words, even if the low-cost version was sold for 150,000 yuan, it was also very cost-effective.
The high-quality version could even be sold for about 200,000 yuan. Furthermore, Zhang Yunfeng also thought... When the time came, he could imitate the route of golf. There would be a golf course with a golf performance. When the time came, he could also upgrade the chassis and the chassis on S1. Upgrade to 2. The engine of the 0T will be able to create an S1X, its performance would be much better than golf, and its selling price would definitely not exceed golf by too much. It would be enough to reach 35.4 million.
Compared to the trend of the international trend, most people liked the high-performance version of the van. And not the high-performance version of the three vans. This was also why there were Cool RV and golf RV. However, there was no such thing as a speeding RV. Therefore, the awkward S2 did not need the so-called X version. It was steadily making its middle and low-end home car market.
What he lacked now were the two engines with 2.0 and 2.5 displacements, as well as the automatic transmission box with a seven-speed dual ionization. With that, his three models would be fully developed.
