Chapter 539: Then Do It Again

"Mr. Fernandez is an internationally recognized car designer, and I have never doubted his ability, I have always believed that he is one of the best car designers on the planet, and I have no doubt that he can develop and build a car that can run an eight-minute lap at the Nürburgring in Germany, but with all due respect, if you put the two restrictions of '$30,000' and 'production' on this car, I think it's very incredible, which is beyond my understanding of the proportional relationship between car cost and performance......

The first to speak was BM's former Honored Designer Kenig Fahsenfeld.

He was very smart not to question Chen Geng's design ability, but from the two perspectives of cost and mass production, he told people with his old qualifications as a senior designer in the automotive industry: with Fernandez Chen's attainments and level in automobiles, he can design a car that can run an 8-minute lap time at the Nürburgring, which is no problem, but if the cost is limited to only more than 20,000 US dollars, and meets the requirements of at least the relevant US regulations for production cars, this is impossible.

If Kenig Fahsenfeld's questioning is tactful, then Maserati's North American manager Georg Beitham is even a tear in the face, and in an interview with the media, he unceremoniously expressed disdain for the news: "It's impossible, AMC has no experience in developing such a high-performance sports car. Chen also has no experience in developing and building such high-performance sports cars, and I can't believe how Mr. Fernández did that, knowing that even we at Maserati can't do that......"

Even the local American car designers can't sit still, the designer of the Shelby version of the Ford Mustang: Carol Shelby, when asked by reporters about this, said euphemistically: "If Fernandez really does it, then this car will be a very amazing product, I think I will definitely buy a collection ......"

............

Chen Geng has moved too many people's cakes!

As one after another "big names" in the industry stood up to question AMC's car, and it seemed to be so serious, the American people gradually began to calm down from the initial excitement: it seems that what these bigwigs said also makes sense, we don't doubt Mr. Fernandez's strength, but the cost of more than 20,000 dollars can really make a sports car with such strong performance......? It does seem a little incredible.

The media was hooked: yes, Mr. Fernández and AMC are really the topic makers, look how much our newspaper sales have increased these days!

More coverage must be intensified!

We have to find a way to make it a little more hot!

The media, who are well versed in hype, know very well that if everyone criticizes Chen Geng one-sidedly, it is easy for this topic to lose its popularity, but if some people guess and some people praise it, it is no problem to hype such a topic for ten days and half a month...... Again, it's all money.

So, in the next few days, the media in the United States and even Europe joined the carnival: the economy in the world is not in a good mood, and everyone must have some fun.

In the face of this situation of global reporting, Chen Geng, who had already experienced the information bombardment of later generations, was extremely calm, but others were not, not only Rosemary felt not very relieved, but even some middle and senior executives of AMC began to worry, after all, they did not participate in the development process of the "Swordfish" GT-R, let alone the test of the "Swordfish" GT-R at the Nürburgring......

It just so happened that Chen Geng was also a little annoyed, no matter who it was, the first thing he heard after getting up every day was the news of "Sir, there are more reporters outside than yesterday", and his mood must not be better.

Chen Geng, who was about to end this farce, dialed Jack Welch's phone: "Have you contacted Mr. Piquet?

"Yes," said Jack Welch, as calm as ever, "Mr. Piquet would be more than happy to run at your Beaugelin circuit one more time, of course, you know, it's mostly for the money's sake." ”

In the just-concluded last F1 Grand Prix of the year, Nelson Piquet climbed the F1 podium as the annual champion, after so many years of hard work, Nelson Piquet finally survived, but even if it is the annual F1 driver championship, he can't refuse this kind of business activity that can earn tens of thousands of dollars in just a few days, not to mention that as an active professional driver, Nelson Piquet has finally survived. Piquet is well aware of the benefits of maintaining a good personal friendship with an international car manufacturer.

"Hah...... It doesn't matter, as long as he is willing to come," Chen Geng's face unconsciously showed a smile: "Send a notice, just say that in order to prove our strength, in a week, we will test the lap results of the 'Swordfish' GT-R again at the Nürburgring circuit in Germany, and the driver who assisted us in the test is still Mr. Nelson Piquet.

In addition, we also welcome other manufacturers to compete with us and improve each other. ”

In a word, what's the use of talking so much nonsense, let's see the truth under our hands, and if there is anything unconvinced, let's go to the Nürburgring for a lap together.

Jack Welch laughed, "Boss, you're so bad. ”

........................

AMC responded!

In the face of skepticism, AMC made a tough response: they will test the same car in the same place and by the same driver a week later, and the "Swordfish" GT-R will remain in production status except for the replacement of professional race tires and the adaptation of the suspension.

As soon as AMC's statement came out, the entire public opinion circle and even the automobile industry circle instantly boiled: What do you mean? AMC and Fernandez plan to publicly slap those guys who have sung them down in the face?

After all, it is a basic common sense that if it does not have sufficient confidence in the strength of its own products, it is impossible for AMC to organize a second test and invite the media and other manufacturers to participate.

Countless excited melon-eating people instantly stretched their necks, waiting to see if the industry bigwigs who had previously sung about AMC were slapped in the face, or AMC was slapped in the face, and some fans with money in their hands simply took a plane to the Nürburgring in Germany, ready to go to the scene to have a look.

The inns and hotel business in the city of Nürburgring exploded for a while, and the leaders of the town hall were about to laugh badly.
