Chapter 140 Favored by Hollywood Stars
The crew of "Cannonball Run" was talking about BYD EVO.
Some impatient people even went forward to touch and knock on the car, as if to verify, "Is this really a car?"
As we all know, Britain and the United States are countries on wheels. They have seen more types of cars than even some BYD engineers.
For example, in the entire crew, the most important car is the Lamborghini Countach LP 400S.
This all-black supercar just sits there quietly and attracts passers-by to come and watch.
The American Dodge muscle cars and various high-horsepower off-road SUVs driven by the crew,
If they were really to be put together for an exhibition, it would definitely be qualified as a medium-sized car show.
Americans' love for cars is ingrained in their bones. Although they are most fond of their own large-displacement muscular cars,
But it doesn't mean there's no interest in a new car model that you've never seen before.
Although BYD EVO is a compact car, its unique appearance design makes people immediately understand its design positioning - the king of the road.
The relatively low chassis design and the rear wing spoiler highlight the design language that was created for the racetrack.
When men see it for the first time, they will think "I hope to own one".
This is not to say that the appearance of EVO is perfect, but its design style is different from that of ordinary models, and it is very worthy of being included in the collection of car enthusiasts.
Fang Hexuan also liked EVO in his previous life, and he even collected three different versions.
Therefore, it was an inevitable choice for BYD to imitate EVO for its first car.
Roger Moore, the actor who plays 007, has seen many different types of cars in many Bond movies.
He spoke first when everyone was just watching curiously:
"Which Neon Car Company owns this car?"
The technical team that came with the three EVOs includes Japanese and German people, but the majority are from Hong Kong.
One of the young guys couldn't help but said:
"Sir, this is not a neon car, we are from Hong Kong!"
As a British man, Roger Moore is a bit arrogant.
At this moment, he heard a man with an Asian face replying to him, his eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth deliberately raised in a playful arc.
"Haha, it turns out to be from a colony of our British Empire. How incredible."
After saying this, he didn't even look at EVO again, but proudly showed off to Burt Reynolds, Peter Fonda and other Americans beside him:
"Look, our colony can also build cars. Although they look like neon cars, they are really amazing, aren't they?"
Peter Fonda is a typical American who looks down upon the British arrogance.
He walked up to the young man who had just spoken and asked:
"Sir, can you explain to me the technical features of this car?"
"Hello sir, my name is Luo Lixian, you can call me Bruce, of course no problem, please get in the car, I will introduce you to the internal details first."
Jackie Chan and Sam Hui, who had been standing nearby without saying a word, looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
This movie hasn't even started filming yet and it's already been despised.
In fact, they both like the Lamborghini Countach. Its cool shape and the cold black color make it particularly attractive.
But there is no way, because he signed a contract with DreamWorks and Mr. Fang.
"So, Bruce, this compact car you call evolution was developed by BYD specifically for road racing?"
"Yes, Mr. Fonda, just like your country's Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, it was born for the track."
"Haha, that's interesting. Can you introduce the engine to me?"
"Of course, it is equipped with a four-cylinder 2.0L gasoline engine with a maximum output of 156KW horsepower."
"Wait, you said the four-cylinder can output 156KW of power?"
"Yeah, that's right." "It doesn't sound bad. I have a second-generation Camaro myself, with a V6 engine and a maximum output of 223KW horsepower."
"Sir, in fact, the engine of our car can also increase its output power after certain modifications."
"Hmm? What's the maximum you can reach?"
"I heard from EVO's chief technical officer that if it is modified and equipped with a turbocharger, its maximum power can exceed 240KW."
"Are you kidding me? A 4 cylinder can have 240KW?"
"I'm serious, sir. In fact, our own laboratory has tested it and its peak output power even reached 252KW."
".Haha, I'm starting to get a little interested in this car."
"Sir, I'm sorry, but we don't sell these three cars."
"Haha, that's not what I meant. You just introduced to Moore that you are a Hong Kong company?"
"Yes, that's right. The boss is from Hong Kong and the R&D center is also in Hong Kong."
"So, you are really not a Japanese company?"
"Sir, I have made it very clear, we are from Hong Kong, China, not Japan."
"Haha, just kidding, I'm not a jerk like Moore."
"Let me guess. Your company sent this car to the crew for filming. Do you want to promote the movie across the United States?"
"Well, of course."
“So, are you planning to enter the US market?”
"Although the boss hasn't said it explicitly, I guess they are preparing to enter North America."
"Look, that's it. When you sell this car in the United States, I will definitely buy one and keep it as a collection."
"I really like the appearance design of this car. It is very smart, just like an elk in the forest, agile and beautiful."
"Besides, after listening to your introduction to the performance just now, I am even more interested."
"But, sir, to be honest with you, we at BYD spent a lot of money to build these three cars."
"what do you mean?"
“The performance of the vehicles actually sold in the market will definitely not reach the level of these vehicles.”
"Then do you know the specific performance parameters?"
"I'm sorry, sir. I really don't know about this. I'm afraid none of the dozen or so technical consultants we have here know this. This is a company secret."
"That's a bit troublesome. Can you talk to your boss and sell me one of the cars after the filming is over?"
"Sir, you decided to buy this car without even trying it. Isn't that too risky?"
"Haha, I like your honesty, but most of the time I buy cars not to drive them, but to let them sit quietly in my garage like works of art."
"Besides, your filming hasn't started yet. There's always time, right?"
"Frankly speaking, I don't know. Even we ourselves cannot drive this car at will."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, we will always find a way."
Peter Fonda, a middle-aged man in his forties, really likes the appearance of EVO and fell in love with it at first sight.
This is why he was willing to chat with an Asian for half a day in a cramped car.
Thanks to Death is my younger brother, Zhou Yuanyuan, I like to read novels, 12-year-old weird uncle, Caicha, Huashen reader, and the monthly votes of Name has no words!
I’m really confused by the fact that book friends suddenly gave me so many recommendation votes. Is there an event in the near future or are people more interested in BYD’s car-making plot?
