Volume 2 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 1102 Have you considered the market?
After a somewhat excited introduction to the 0.8-litre engine, John Jonas turned his attention to the last and proudest engine of the event: a 1.3-litre air-cooled inline-four all-ceramic engine.
When I saw this engine, there was a violent pumping sound in the audience, without him, this engine gave people too much shock, and the other engines took a small route, this engine is completely different from the previous engines, not only not small, It's the size of a traditional 1.6-liter engine, and it seems to be pouring all the things that can be used on it, not to mention the rest, everyone is playing with cars, and naturally you can see the difference of this engine at a glance: such an engine is equipped with a twin-turbocharger!
Zhang Lan looked at this engine casually, and was stunned for a moment. What the hell is this old man trying to do? Painted the entire engine black? There is an unwritten rule in the engine development department of the Alice Group that only high-performance engines are eligible to be painted in the mysterious black color. It's not that Jonas is unaware of this rule, but he actually painted this engine black, does it mean that this engine is a high-performance engine? The power output and torque output curves of the all-ceramic engine are enough to make everyone's eyes red, and he even used in-cylinder direct injection technology for this engine? To be honest, now Zhang Lan is starting to look forward to this engine.
John. Jonas was obviously quite satisfied with the reaction of everyone present, and this is what he wanted, painted black, which is the wish of almost every engine designer in the Alice Group.
The old man was very proud to introduce the performance of this engine to everyone present, "The original maximum power of this engine is 156 horsepower, and the maximum original torque is 198 Nm. m, but please note that this is only the original power, not the maximum power and torque, and after we installed a twin turbocharger on this engine, and after the technical staff at Cosworth headquarters carefully tweaked the engine's computer system, this engine has an additional 80 hp and 95 Nm. meters of torque output, and this is done without increasing fuel consumption, that is, the engine now has a maximum safe output of 236 hp and 293 Nm. The maximum torque output of meters, we also installed this engine on the body of the Passat, Excelle, Regal and even the Snow Leopard, and the actual fuel consumption of 100 kilometers tested ranged from 7.5 liters to 8 liters. β
There was silence in the room. The news that Jonas told himself was a little shocking, and everyone was a little confused with such excellent data, so that everyone forgot to applaud for a while.
Even Zhang Lan, the little guy, was shocked and speechless, Zhang Lan remembers, when the powerful 07 Toyota Crown was just launched, it once caused quite a sensation in the domestic automobile market, and the maximum output of the powerful 3.0-liter engine is only 231 horsepower, and the maximum output torque is 300 Nm.
Although the engine of the Toyota Crown uses a naturally aspirated engine with double overhead cam continuously adjustable timing valve technology, and its own engine is achieved by turbocharging and increasing the engine speed, no one can deny that this engine with a displacement of 1.3 liters is stunned to exceed its power of a 30.liter displacement, which is internationally known as "one of the top ten engines" and "the pride of Toyota".
If there is any difference, then the only difference is that the maximum torque of this engine is only 7 Nm smaller than that of the Toyota Crown. m only, for a nearly 300 N . m of the engine, mere 7 Nm. The torque difference in meters is really nothing, almost negligible. β¦,
As the same period as the Toyota Crown of the other two famous models equipped with a 3.0-liter displacement engine: Audi A6L and BMW 530, Audi A6L maximum output and maximum torque of 289 horsepower and 420 Nm, BMW 530 data is even worse, the maximum output of power is only 258 horsepower, only in the maximum output torque and the Toyota Crown is barely the same, barely reached 300 Nm, in the maximum output, stubbornly insisted on using the in-line six-cylinder engine BMW was Toyota Crown and Audi A6L V-shaped six-cylinder engine hit the water, it turned outAlthough BMW has explored the performance of inline cylinder engines to the limit, it seems that the V6 engine is the new standard for the development of engine technology in the new era.
Although it seems that Audi's data performance is not good, considering that the Audi A6L3.0 is the largest and bulkiest of the three cars, the extra torque is almost offset by the bulky body. Of course, the most important point is that the ultra-low fuel consumption of this engine compared to other 3.0-liter displacement engines, but I believe that people who can afford this kind of car basically don't care about those few fuel dollars.
The most important point is that all the 3.0-liter engines with a displacement have not yet been able to reach the data of the above three engines, and their own 1.3-liter engine has almost established its status as the "king of performance".
As for the "Snow Leopard" off-road vehicle of his group, the maximum output of the 3.6-liter V-six electric injection engine on it is only 198.6 hp, and the maximum output torque is only 305 Nm. This is not a problem of Alice Group's engine technology, but a common problem of off-road vehicle manufacturers all over the world, compared to more power-oriented cars, off-road vehicles are more in pursuit of strong torque, which is the so-called powerful. Who would have imagined that an off-road vehicle could speed at nearly 300 kilometers per hour on the highway and not even go up a 30% slope, which translates into an angle of about less than 20 degrees?
Hummer is tough, right? The engine has a displacement of up to 6 liters, but the maximum power of the Hummer is only 170 hp, and the maximum torque reaches an astonishing 402 Nm. It is this powerful torque output that has established the reputation of Hummer as the "king of off-road".
John. Jonas, the crazy old man, was obviously quite satisfied with the results he had achieved, and smiled proudly, "Of course, the rpm is the same as the steel engine with a displacement of 0.8 liters, with a maximum speed of 11,000 rpm and a maximum safe speed of 9,500 rpm. If the engine speed is increased to the limit of 11,000 rpm, the maximum ultimate power of this engine can be maintained at 256.9 hp, and like the engine with a displacement of 0.8 liters, the maximum power output of this engine can also last for 20 minutes! It's an engine that's on par with any engine with a displacement of less than 3.0 litres, and we can use it as if it were a 3.0 litre engine! β
Applause, crazy applause, none of the people present did not applaud crazy, all of them understood the meaning of this, although John Jonas did not mention the cost of this engine, but this still needs to be asked, it will definitely not be higher than the cost of an ordinary 1.6-liter displacement of the traditional engine, with a 1.6-liter displacement engine to earn the 3.0-liter engine should make money, he is really making a lot of money now.
All the researchers are also clapping wildly, they know that their wallets may be swelling a lot now, and this applause is completely for their own wallets. Now their only concern is whether their boss will bring this engine to market? Or do you want to wait a little longer?
The applause lasted for a long time, it lasted for five minutes, and it was only stopped under Zhang Zongjun's repeated signals, no way, everyone was too excited, only by slapping hard could they vent their inner turmoil a little, at this time, don't let them vent well, who knows if these guys can sleep well tonight? ββEven if I stop now, I don't think there will be many people who will be able to sleep well tonight. β¦,
"How much capacity can we achieve with these five engines at the moment?" After the applause gradually stopped, Zhang Zongjun turned his head and asked Xie Fei, who was standing beside him.
"Our existing production capacity is to be able to make the monthly production capacity of these five engines reach 10,000 units, including 8,000 units of three motorcycle engines, 1,200 units of 0.8-liter sedan engines, and 800 units of 1.3-liter engines." Xie Fei's voice became smaller and smaller, and he also felt that the monthly production capacity of only 10,000 units was a bit cold, "But if the group agrees, we can quickly expand the two production lines, and they can be put into use in half a year." β
"What is the total production scale of 10,000 units?" Zhang Zongjun pondered for a moment, turned his head and asked Alice, "Miss Alice, what do you think?" In public, Zhang Zongjun still pays attention to maintaining the authority of Alice, after all, this girl is the largest shareholder of Alice (China) Group.
"The monthly production capacity of 10,000 units is enough, and there is no need to expand the production line for the time being," Alice did not hesitate at all, "After all, the all-ceramic engine is a brand new engine, and it is quite difficult for consumers to accept it, and the 10,000 engines per month are enough for the market to digest." When the response from consumers gradually improves, it is not too late for us to expand the production line. ββ¦β¦οΌ
