Chapter 843: The Legendary Pontiac GTO
Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but think of Lausanne when he heard this, Lausanne's brother is the leader of the motorcycle enthusiast group (the leader of the local black group), and Linda is their half-sister.
He groaned and followed behind Linda.
Linda walked to the side door of the warehouse, and before she could lift her legs to enter the side door, she shouted inside, "Packard, I brought a person who smashed the yard here, you hurry up and say hello." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang almost fell to the ground without a single heel, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: How can you talk like this? Isn't this clearly pushing me to the opposite side of others?
When he followed Linda into the warehouse, he found that the warehouse was purely a production workshop, with a lot of auto parts stacked in it, and many big men covered in oil were busy working around various cars. Most of these men have tattoos, just like the car mechanics Niu Xiaoqiang saw in the second-hand car market in Lausanne.
"Linda, are you here to see the car?"
When Niu Xiaoqiang was still watching the situation in the warehouse, a burly man walked over. This man did not look very old, about forty years old, but his hair was gray, giving people a very vicissitudes of life.
He was wearing a black apron with a black vest inside, and although the temperature outside was a little cold, he was tired and sweaty.
Niu Xiaoqiang looked at it slightly, and before he could speak, a scene occurred that made him stunned. I saw this man looking at Linda with unabastic eyes, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty without clothes.
Linda glared at the man, "Packard, if you don't want to go to the hospital and lie down, you'd better put away your disgusting eyes." ”
Packard smiled and said cheekily, "In order to see you, I am willing to go to the hospital and lie down." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang suddenly felt that he shouldn't come, Linda was his own wife, seeing that his wife was being taken advantage of, he, who was a disciple, felt awkward.
Linda glared at Packard again, and then pointed at Niu Xiaoqiang helplessly: "This little guy's name is Niu Xiaoqiang, and he is my husband's student, if you respect me, it's best not to talk nonsense in front of him." ”
Packard immediately nodded and looked at Niu Xiaoqiang: "Are you Japanese?"
Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "I am Chinese." ”
Packard was stunned for a moment, and said with a surprised face: "I heard Linda say that you are here to smash the field, but ...... Do the Chinese understand cars?"
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Do you understand the car, won't I know it after I see it?"
Packard touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and smiled disapprovingly: "Not very old, but not small, let's go, I'll take you to see the car, I hope you don't disappoint your Aunt Linda." ”
As he spoke, Packard took out the keys hanging from his waist, there were many keys hanging from the keychain, and he found one of them very skillfully, walked to the door of a small cubicle, and used it to open the pull-up door of the cubicle.
With a click, the door was pushed up by Packard, revealing a car locked inside.
The first feeling of this car is rough mine, and the muscular body design makes Niu Xiaoqiang frown.
Linda originally thought that Niu Xiaoqiang would be shocked by her car, but when she saw Niu Xiaoqiang frowning, Linda couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"
Packard on the side was also full of curiosity, this car was modified by him for Linda, and he himself loved this car very much, and he couldn't understand why Niu Xiaoqiang frowned after seeing this car for the first time.
Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "Auntie, this is the Pontiac GTO you told me, right?"
Linda nodded: "Yes, I spent nearly a million dollars to modify this car, and it is no exaggeration to say that this car is original except for the appearance, everything inside has been replaced, and the reason why you frowned just now is not because you don't like this kind of exterior design?"
Niu Xiaoqiang was not polite at all, and replied very bluntly: "From an objective point of view, this car is very individual, and the super tough exterior design can highlight the personality of the owner, but if you stand from a professional point of view, this kind of appearance design is very problematic, especially for the field of racing, this car has not yet been driven on the track and has lost." ”
In order to make money, Niu Xiaoqiang deliberately said it so bluntly, it can be said that he didn't give face, and directly said that Linda's most beloved baby was a failed work.
Linda was naturally very unhappy, her face immediately gloomy, and asked, "Can you give a reasonable explanation?"
Packard on the side was also a little angry, after all, this car was modified by him, and now that his work is so belittled, of course he will not be happy. If it weren't for Linda's face, it is estimated that Packard would have thrown Niu Xiaoqiang out of the gate a long time ago.
After stimulating Linda, Niu Xiaoqiang deliberately slowed down his tone: "Auntie, don't be angry, of course I say this for a reason, the exterior design of this car does not take into account the drag coefficient at all, the faster it travels, the greater the wind resistance it suffers, when its speed reaches a certain critical value, it is difficult to go up, if I guess correctly, in order to increase its speed, you have put a lot of effort into the engine, basically most of the funds are used to modify the engine, right?"
This is not false at all, Linda paused for a moment before speaking: "You are right, the engine of this car is specially customized, using a dual V8 architecture, with a displacement of 12.0 liters, and this engine and its attached powertrain alone cost half a million dollars." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang was very surprised when he heard this, his old business is to tinker with automobile engines, very clear about the technical situation of this line, at present, the Asian Machinery Factory has not even designed the V8 engine with practical value, this dilapidated warehouse factory has actually drummed out the double V8 architecture engine, which shows that the warehouse factory has a stronger technical strength than the Asian Machinery Factory!
Don't think that the dual V8 architecture engine is as simple as assembling two V8 engines together, which involves the improvement of the powertrain, the design of the engine linkage mode, the optimization of the architecture mode and many other problems.
This type of engine is not yet available on the market, and only the top car races use this type of engine, and since this warehouse factory can make this type of engine, it shows that people are definitely not as shabby as they seem on the surface.
