#216 - Designers and Engineers

Wow!

The announcement of Jaime Meddy Rui's news immediately caused a frenzy among the audience at the venue and on the online live broadcast platforms.

Now, netizens from all over the world are expressing their thoughts on the live broadcast platform, some liking the exterior and interior of Audi cars.

Some are envious, some are jealous, some are making sarcastic remarks, and in short, there are all kinds of comments.

But the most excited at the moment are the Great Xia country netizens watching through Shark Live.

"Hey, the one who clamored before that if Audi cars could win an award, they would livestream eating sh*t, come out now, my rockets are ready!"

"Livestream eating sh*t? This is a ruthless person!!"

"Awesome, waiting for the livestream of eating sh*t!!!"

"666, just this Audi car's exterior design is simply crushing the designs of other car companies!"

"Awesome, that matrix LED headlight group really moves me, I've decided that when the Audi A4L is launched, I'll get one no matter what!"

"Upstairs brother, you'll have to wait another year for the Audi A4L to be launched, this is the Audi A4 facelift!"

"The Audi TT will definitely be launched within half a year, haven't you noticed that the Audi TT is the best-looking and coolest, this is a coupe-level model!"

"What's the use of being cool, the price of this car is definitely not low!"

"This should be a new coupe-level model launched by Audi, used to compete with Benma, Baolai, and Otto."

"Bah, Audi wants to compete with German coupe-level models!"

"What's the use of a good exterior design? The three major components are the real deal, domestic cars will always only focus on the car shell."

Domestic netizens are simply amazed by the exterior design of Audi cars.

However, just like what those trolls said, no matter how good the exterior design is, if the core engine of the vehicle is not good, then it will never get consumers to pay.

Audi does have several engines, but they are all small-displacement engines, and there has been no news of large-displacement engines, which makes netizens very worried.

And when they won the award on the spot, the Audi car employees around Lu Haifeng were all extremely excited.

As the chief designer of Audi cars, Lu Haifeng also received the admiration of all Audi car employees.

Even Xu Zhilin couldn't help but give a thumbs up, praising his design skills as absolutely the top car designer in the world today.

Just as Xu Zhilin said, in the exhibition hall lounge, Lu Haifeng, as the chief designer of Audi cars, became famous in one fell swoop.

He became a car designer of the same level as those top designers from foreign car companies.

Now, those designers from other car companies have also abandoned their previous contempt and ridicule for Lu Haifeng, and are now individually greeting Lu Haifeng to build relationships.

Some even humbly ask Lu Haifeng about his design concepts, and Lu Haifeng used his strength to win the respect and reverence of all car company designers.

Because after seeing the design of Audi cars today, he opened up a different design path for all car company designers.

Because they had never thought before that the headlights of a car could actually be played like this.

However, there was one person who sneered at Lu Haifeng's design, and that person was Walter, the design director of Volkswagen Group.

He seemed to have forgotten the previous incident of being quickly slapped in the face by Lu Haifeng, and instead left the car designer circle and ran to the car engine design engineer circle.

In the automotive industry, designers and engineers are two completely different job roles.

Car designers are responsible for the exterior design of the entire vehicle, designing models that meet market demand and can be recognized by the majority of consumers.

Automotive engineers are engineers who specialize in the research, development, and tuning of powertrain systems for car companies.

In the automotive industry, designers and engineers complement each other and are indispensable.

Every car company participating in the Ward's 10 Best competition has engine R\u0026D engineers in addition to designers.

For example, in this Audi car event, Lu Haifeng is the car designer, while Tang San and Xu Zhilin are engineers.

So designers have their own circle, and engineers have their own circle.

Those engineers are not very interested in the evaluation of vehicle appearance and interior, what they care most about is the next chassis engine evaluation segment.

Because this is their most proficient field, whether the engine they designed and tuned can achieve a good result in the Ward's 10 Best directly determines whether they can get a generous bonus when they go back.

Regarding the Audi car that suddenly rose to prominence and won the Ward's 10 Best Exterior and Interior, these engineers from various car companies sneered at it.

"What is the appearance and interior? If you have the ability, compare the engine and chassis performance?"

"It's not me, but the two high-performance engines that Benma brought this year will definitely crush all car companies!"

"Forget it, in terms of engine technology, our Ford's 5.0-liter 8-cylinder naturally aspirated engine is the real deal! The technology is the most mature and stable."

"Our Hyundai engine was the first place in last year's Ward's 10 Best Engines, and it will definitely be the first place this year!"

Now the engineers from various car companies are boasting about their company's engine, and they will definitely get a good result in this year's Ward's 10 Best Engine competition.

However, everyone is full of disdain for the Audi car from Great Xia Country.

After a short break, it was 1:00 PM, which meant it was time for the engine and chassis performance testing segment.

This segment is the most anticipated and favorite segment for all the audience.

Because rather than saying this is a testing and scoring segment, it is better to say it is a car racing feast, and visually it is definitely more exciting than a car rally.

… …

Roland and Mark Dagan belong to the same car club and are professional rally racers.

The two of them are ranked seventh and ninth in the world rally car racer standings.

This is not the first time that the two of them have participated in the Ward's 10 Best competition, so everything is familiar to them.

And in their lounge, Mark Dagan jokingly said: "Roland, I don't know if I can draw a high-power engine today, the 1.8L engine model I tested last year was almost blown up by me!"

"It depends on luck, I also hope to draw a high-power engine, so it won't be so boring to play, but you also know, this is not like our racing car, even if you really draw a large-displacement engine model, without our professional modification, the explosive power is definitely not enough!"
