#218 - Phase 1
After entering the first stage, the drivers saw everything from sedans to SUVs to pickup trucks. Any kind of car that could be sent to participate in the Ward's 10 Best Engines competition was there.
Of course, except for sports cars, most models of that level would not come to participate in this kind of competition.
And now the drivers, some drew the large displacement engines they liked, while others drew small displacement engines.
Roland was very curious about the 2.4L naturally aspirated engine he was going to test, because the performance of this engine was also a very high level for civilian vehicles.
"First turn off the ESP stability control system, and test the torque burst force and the vehicle's maximum speed at the start!"
Like Mark Dagan, almost every driver's first stage test was the same, and the first thing every driver needed to do was turn off the ESP stability control system.
Because for them, their own driving skills were the most stable vehicle system.
Boom… Boom boom!!
Even if Roland stepped on the accelerator to the end, the noise of this 2.4L naturally aspirated engine was still controlled to a very good degree.
"Not bad, the noise control is very good. Although the comprehensive score did not reach the best level, this level of control is already very good, 9 points!"
"Get ready, I'm going to start!"
Roland said to his co-driver, who nodded when he heard it, indicating that he was ready to start at any time.
"This is a full-time four-wheel drive vehicle, let's start with a launch control! Test the acceleration performance!"
After the ESP stability control was turned off, Roland switched the transmission to manual mode, then engaged first gear, stepped on the brake and slammed on the accelerator.
Boom boom… Boom…!!
Roland saw that the engine speed reached 3000 rpm in an instant, and in the next second it reached 4000 rpm, 5000 rpm…!
And now Roland was not flustered at all, waiting for the speed to reach the red line area of 7000 rpm, he immediately released the handbrake!
Squeak squeak…
After a burst of harsh tire screeching, the No. 15 vehicle driven by Roland suddenly shot out like an arrow from a bow in a burst of roar.
"400 Nm of torque burst is very strong. It seems that the engineer of this car should be a technically rich engineer, who has tuned the 2.4L engine and AT gearbox very perfectly, and the transmission efficiency can reach 95%."
"In the starting stage, the comprehensive score, I give this engine 10 points!!"
……
In the Ward's official lounge, all car companies' engineers were very much looking forward to the engine test and evaluation process.
However, if you want to know the final result, you still need to wait until all the drivers have completed the entire 50-kilometer various terrain track, and the result will be known after the scores are counted.
It is estimated that these 50 kilometers of road, plus the drivers' testing and free performance time, will take at least nearly 3 hours.
So Lu Haifeng was not in a hurry at all, because he had strong confidence in the engine he brought this time.
If the power assembly tuned by the master-level Tang San cannot win an award, then which engine can win an award?
Although this statement is arrogant, it shows Lu Haifeng's strong confidence. The engine tuned by the master-level Tang San is definitely the most powerful existence among the world's top engine engineers.
The reason why Lu Haifeng came to participate in the Ward's 10 Best competition this time is on the one hand for the above-mentioned 20-year 20 billion interest-free loan and 2 million square meters of land.
On the other hand, Lu Haifeng wanted to take this opportunity to promote the Audi car brand, at least to leave a deep impression in the hearts of car fans all over the world.
This is also to provide a preliminary foundation for the future global expansion of the Audi car brand.
In Lu Haifeng's plan, Audi cars, as a luxury brand, have been given a strong mission by Lu Haifeng. Lu Haifeng will use Audi cars to gradually pry open the luxury car market monopolized by foreign car companies.
When the time comes, Lu Haifeng will launch more car brands to lay the foundation for the rise of Audi cars.
As long as the Audi car brand has enough influence in the world, it can make Audi cars become a super behemoth company with many sub-brands like Volkswagen, Toyota, Ford, and General Motors.
Lu Haifeng thought in his heart, "The task is heavy and the road is long! But even if it is difficult, it cannot stop the goal of making Audi cars dominate the automotive industry."
Participating in the Ward's 10 Best competition is just the beginning for Lu Haifeng and Audi cars.
Lu Haifeng had absolute confidence in the results, so he was not like the engineers from other car companies. Although they gathered together and chatted very happily, everyone's face was more or less with a trace of nervousness.
The difference between these engineers and Lu Haifeng is that whether the engines designed and developed by these engineers can win awards directly determines whether their wallets can be filled.
Lu Haifeng saw that there were buffet drinks and wine provided by Ward's official in the lounge, as well as chefs providing on-site made steaks, and they were all free.
Lu Haifeng only ate a pancake in the morning, and he was a little hungry. Not only him, the employees of Audi cars also ate a little bit in the morning, and they didn't have lunch.
So he said to the employees: "Don't just look at it, it will take several hours for the results to come out, you go to rest for a while and eat something!"
Lu Haifeng let the employees of Audi cars go to eat first, and he, Xu Zhilin, and Tang San asked the chef to make three steaks for lunch.
While eating, Toyota Junko sat next to Lu Haifeng very naturally, just like an old acquaintance.
"Mr. Lu, do you mind if Junko sits here?"
Toyota Junko asked Lu Haifeng with a playful and charming look, which made many men from car companies frequently peek over.
Even the single dogs of Audi cars couldn't help but cast their eyes on Toyota Junko.
There was no way, putting aside the prejudices of national hatred, this woman was definitely the most perfect sweetheart in the hearts of all men.
Rich, knowledgeable, beautiful, and capable.
This is a woman full of temptation and danger. She knows how to use all the advantages she has.
Regarding Toyota Junko's behavior, Xu Zhilin on the side frowned slightly.
"This woman from the Japanese island country wouldn't have taken a fancy to Lu Haifeng, right! And with this woman's appearance, young people like Xiaofeng must not be able to hold back. It seems that I have to urge our Xiaoxin to return to China quickly!"
Xu Zhilin, who had always planned to introduce his granddaughter to Lu Haifeng, didn't have any good feelings for Toyota Junko.
