"It's beautiful......"

"Boss is boss, and the clay model was completed so quickly. ”

"Look at the design of the boss, and then look at the Fleetwood and towncar and W126 of the general board...... What the hell!"

"Is this still a concept design? I think it's enough to just use this shape. ”

"This design must be the most eye-catching pearl at the Detroit Auto Show at the end of next year......"

"When the car goes on sale, I'm going to buy one. ”

"I'm going to buy a ...... too"

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

In the AMC Automotive Engineering Institute, a group of engineers and designers looked at the 1:1 clay model in front of them, and their eyes were shining while desperately patting Chen Geng's ass!

If before that, they were still a little worried about whether their company's "brand up" road was easy, then now, looking at the 1:1 clay model in front of them, the last trace of worry in their hearts has disappeared without a trace: at least from the design point of view, there is no reason for this car not to succeed.

If you want everyone to describe it, this car has a word: beautiful!

It's so beautiful!

From the overall shape to the proportions of the body to the curved design...... In the eyes of many people, there is simply no place that has a crushing advantage over the main luxury cars in the US market: Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Cadillac Fleetwood and Lincoln City.

There is also a small sign next to the clay model, which introduces some key parameters of the car, such as body size, wheelbase, wheel base, wheel hub and tire size information, etc., from the parameters marked on the brand, the body size of this car temporarily called L1 by Chen Geng is 5105mm*1910mm* At 1452mm, the body size and wheelbase not only surpass AMC's flagship sedan New Century, but even larger than the body size and wheelbase of this generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W126).

What is the body size of this generation of Mercedes-Benz W126?

5020mm*1820mm*1437mm, wheelbase of 2935mm, yes, 30 years later, the benchmark of mid-level sedans: Passat and Magotan is not as good as the Wolfsburg duo in terms of body size level, and even body width.

In terms of absolute body size, the L1 is a little smaller in length than the Lincoln City and Cadillac Fleetwood, but in terms of passenger space, the L1 is more spacious and comfortable than the Lincoln City and Cadillac Fleetwood in both lateral and longitudinal space.

As for the reason, it is very simple, just look at the characteristics of American cars in this era, the long front and long tail, and the real space for passengers is not as spacious as the L1.

David Bryson, who was standing next to Chen Geng, had no better expression than the other engineers and designers on the scene, and his eyes looked directly at the 1:1 clay model in front of him, and his eyes were shocked or shocked.

It is said that it is a clay model, in fact, it is not at all different from a car placed here, the wheels, front and rear lights and window glass and other things are there, the body covers also make seams, the body is also made of exquisite painting, and even the standard equipment on the high-end cars of this era: headlights and wipers are also available.

Yes, the middle and high-end models of this era have successfully solved the problem that many fans in later generations have wondered: those models with headlight cleaning function, can they clean the headlights by just spraying a stream of glass water on the headlight housing? Shouldn't they be equipped with a wiper like the front windshield, and then scrape twice after spraying water?

The models of this era perfectly solve this problem: there is not only a water spray device for headlight cleaning, but also a wiper, and after spraying water, use a small wiper to scrape twice, and the headlight shell is immediately clean and perfect!

In fact, until the first few years after the turn of the millennium, some headlights above the middle and high-end models still had wiper functions, such as Volvo S80 (imported, standard axle version), and the last generation of Mercedes-Benz S-class with headlight wiper function was the W140, which was discontinued in 98.

In short, if you don't know that this is a clay model, people who see this car for the first time will definitely think that this is a prototype car parked here for display.

Chen Geng was greatly satisfied with David Bryson's reaction, and he smiled and said, "David, what do you think?"

David Bryson, who has been in the state of soul wandering in the sky, reacted at this time, and hurriedly shook his head while praising in his mouth: "Boss, convinced, really convinced, as long as this car is officially launched, who would dare to deny that you are the top car designer in the world today?"

Yes, even today, there are still people who think that they are not qualified to be tied with Giugiaro, and they crush Chen Geng's lack of achievements in the luxury car market to frantically deny Chen Geng's talent in automotive industrial design, but now, David Bryson can already imagine how much of a sensation this L1 will bring to the world when it is unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show early next year.

Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "You know, I don't care about this. ”

David Bryson obviously disagreed with Chen Geng's statement, he said very seriously: "Boss, you can not care personally, but we can't not care, you are not only a controlling major shareholder for AMC, but also a spiritual totem-like existence, we all firmly believe that as long as you are there, AMC will be able to win in the face of any difficulties." ”

it!

Dudes have reached the point of spiritual totem?

Chen Geng said with a smile: "David, for a company, it is not a good thing to have a personality cult. ”

"Why isn't it a good thing?" David Bryson couldn't understand why Chen Geng had such thoughts: "It's like Mr. Ford and Ford Motor, Edison and General Electric, Thomas Watson and IBM...... For every enterprise, they have their own spiritual totem, and only an enterprise with its own spiritual totem can grow into a great enterprise. ”

Speaking of this, David Bryson's emotions were obviously excited: "AMC has not been able to grow into a great company before, because we don't have our own spiritual totem, but now, we have!"

That's you!

Mr. Fernández. ”

It is considered to be a spiritual totem, it would be purely a lie to say that Chen Geng is not a little proud in his heart, but Chen Geng is a little bit of a B tree in his heart, he shook his head and said: "Don't talk about this, I have already designed the shape and interior for you, and the design drawings have also been sent to you, how long will it take you to realize the next project realization stage?"

"Three months!"

David Bryson, whose eyes were shining, almost gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, please give us half a year, after half a year, I will definitely ask the company to let this L1 participate in the Detroit Auto Show at the beginning of the year in full condition." ”

Half?

Chen Geng nodded: "Okay, then I'll give you half a year!"

In this era when the Internet is just showing a little bit of development, computer-aided design is just getting started, and 3D printing is unheard of, it takes time to make a part from scratch that is unimaginable to industrial people more than 30 years later.

For example, if the AMC Automotive Engineering Institute in Detroit wants to ask a mold company in Seattle to help make a mold, if it is the Internet era, AMC can directly send the design drawings to the mold company, and if there are any problems, you can communicate through the instant chat tool on the Internet, and communicate directly online after the modification is completed.

But now, you need to complete the design by yourself, and then send someone to Seattle to communicate and coordinate with the mold company, every modification to the design or mold means a plane and a few days of time, time cost and transportation cost is extremely expensive.

Under such extremely low efficiency, the trial production of the prototype car was completed in half a year, which was indeed a great challenge for the AMC Automotive Engineering Institute.

“boss，boss......”

As she was talking, a choppy blonde girl trotted in all the way, I don't know if it was intentional, as she ran slightly, the waves on her chest became more and more turbulent, and the blonde girl with a small face crimson trotted to Chen Geng, deliberately gasped twice, patted the turbulent waves, and then respectfully handed the document in her hand to Chen Geng: "Boss, this is the information that Miss Kelly just transmitted." ”

Well, this turbulent girl is Chen Geng's temporary assistant, after all, without Kelly Hicks by his side, Chen Geng can't help without an assistant by his side.

Kelly Hicks's information? Chen Geng glanced at it, well, it was the inspection report of the prefecture and city that had been drawn up before.

Calculate the time, and it's about the same.

"Boss, there's one more thing ......"

"Huh?"

"Mr. Welch just called and said that Mr. Morley Sanders had come with a revised logo, and he wanted you to come over. ”

"Mr. Sanders is here?" Chen Geng, who originally planned to go back to the office to see the information faxed back by Kelly Hicks, suddenly changed his mind and instructed his little assistant: "Prepare the car." ”

Morley Sanders is one of the well-known design companies in the United States: the owner of Morley Company, AMC in order to ensure that the new brand is flawless in every link, specially cooperated with Morley Company, Morley Company also attaches great importance to this cooperation with AMC, Morley Sanders personally went out as the chief designer of the Lexus brand logo.

Speaking of which, Morry Sanders is worthy of being the designer of the Lexus brand logo, and after only a few modifications, the appearance of the Lexus brand logo is already very close to the familiar Anger logo.

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

When Chen Geng arrived at Jack Welch's office, Jack Welch was smoking a cigar with Morry Sanders and laughing, and when they saw Chen Geng coming, Jack Welch and Morry Sanders hurriedly put down their cigars and got up to greet them.

Chen Geng was not polite to the two of them, and asked Morry Sanders directly: "Mr. Sanders, my assistant told me that you have completed the design?"

"If it's those modifications you asked for, yes, I've done it. Morley Sanders nodded, a little smug on his face.
