As a 5.4L displacement V8 engine, this engine can provide a power output of 550 horsepower and a torque output of 691 Nm. Such a big guy can be said to be an engine naturally prepared for a supercar.

This engine was used by Ford engineers in their Shelby Cobra a lifetime ago. It can be said that that guy was born to be a freak.

As the cultural heritage of American muscle cars, if it does not have a strong heart, it simply does not deserve the name of muscle car.

But in the United States, muscle cars are also the originators of American supercars.

Since World War II, Americans have begun to enjoy the dividends of the war on a large scale, and the American economy and mechanical culture have developed by leaps and bounds.

From that time on, American cars began to take off. At that time, it could be said that American cars dominated the world. American car culture was the world's car culture.

At that time, after World War II, Germany and Japan were still in ruins, and their automobile industries were also in the stage of suspension and adjustment. Even the victorious countries after World War II, Britain and France, at this time, their automobile industries and the United States

The automobile industry is completely out of date in comparison.

At that time, Americans had plundered a large amount of resources and funds from all over the world through World War II, so people's living standards were relatively prosperous, and cars had become a necessity for every family.

Americans also have a unique taste in cars, and the same is true in the automobile industry. During World War II, American automobile culture began to become popular, and a craze accelerated.

It is this fanatical pursuit of automobile mechanical performance that gave birth to American muscle cars. Such models are like the cowboy culture of the United States in the 19th century, representing the pioneering and bohemian spirit of Americans.

At that time, a muscle car must have the following characteristics to be called a muscle car. First, it must be of American origin.

Secondly, the selling price is relatively low, and most people can afford it.

The third one must be a high-performance mid-size car, a high-performance full-size model or one of the top-performance small cars.

Fourth, it must be equipped with a large-displacement V8 engine with strong horsepower and torque.

Fifth, it must be a front-engine rear-drive two-door double-row sports car or a sports car-oriented pickup truck.

Only models that possess the above characteristics can be called true muscle cars.

The real origin of this kind of car is the Rocket 88 from Oldsmobile. It was the birth of this car and its rapid popularity in the United States, which also gave birth to the Chrysler C-300 and Ford Mustang that were soon born.

, Dodge Challenger, and a series of muscle car models such as Chevrolet Camaro.

And these models have also spread to all over the world due to the dominance of the Americans after World War II and the garrison bases around the world.

And in the 1960s, with the widespread popularity of muscle cars, the four major American car manufacturers at that time intervened in this market and produced their own products. The career of muscle cars also entered a golden age.

At that time, the four major American car companies, Ford, Chrysler, General Motors and AMC, all launched their own muscle cars and competed fiercely in the market. From this point on, it meant that muscle cars began to officially enter the market.

The stage of the automobile industry and heading towards glory.

This trend did not start until 1970. Because the horsepower of this muscle car was too powerful, Americans gradually paid attention to the driving safety issues. Major insurance companies in the United States began to increase the amount of insurance for this type of car. This

Only then did these major car companies begin to carefully consider the future of muscle cars and slow down the pace of research and development of muscle cars.

What followed was the environmental pollution problems caused by the huge engines, and the oil crisis that broke out in 1974, which completely caused the decline of this kind of muscle car.

And at the same time, the rise of Japanese and German cars gave American muscle cars a heavy blow in the world market, which also accelerated the decline of this type of muscle car.

However, although muscle cars have declined, it has not stopped people from loving high-horsepower, good acceleration, and speed-sensitive cars. It is precisely because consumers have such a consumer psychology that starting in the 1980s,

A new model with a smaller body, more flexible control, and superior acceleration performance, the supercar model was once again born in the United States.

And soon this trend of supercars swept the world. The concept of American supercars was once again accepted by many car companies around the world. Everyone began to pay attention to such a new concept of small muscle cars.

This new concept car has a more streamlined appearance that muscle cars do not have, and the body shape is generally smaller, but the horsepower is not weak at all, and the handling is better than the previous muscle cars that were difficult to control.

It is easy to handle, so the concept of supercar quickly began to take shape in the 1980s.

After this concept was determined, major car companies in the world began to increase their investment in researching this kind of super sports car.

Among them, the Europeans are the most powerful. With years of technological accumulation and mechanical manufacturing capabilities that are not inferior to those of the Americans, a series of super sports cars under brands such as Porsche, Ferrari, Ashton Martin, and Lamborghini were soon born.

.

Moreover, these European car manufacturers relied on their solid skills to quickly establish their products in the market, win the trust of consumers, and quickly squeeze Americans out of the market.

Soon the Japanese also joined in, and a series of world-class racing events followed. And soon the Europeans gave the Americans a hard lesson on the field, completely establishing their top sports cars.

Reputation of manufacturing capabilities.

From then on, the super sports cars that came to Europe established their world status as the world's top players, and they have been dominating this position for decades.

Now that Jin Xiaoqiang wants to enter the field of super sports car research and development, he has to face many problems. In terms of the research and development of super sports cars, as far as the entire automobile industry in China is concerned, there are probably only one with such capabilities.

They Huayang Power

Just one family.

And this is because Jin Xiaoqiang has such a golden finger. If he didn't have this golden finger, even if he wanted to enter the research and development market of this super sports car, he would have to at least have to do it.

It took twenty years of accumulation to achieve this.

This super sports car really cannot be manufactured by just anyone. The difference between this kind of super sports car and ordinary civilian cars is probably just like the natural huge gap between military products and ordinary civilian products.

You must know that many of the technologies used in the current mainstream automobile power systems and appearance design concepts were only available in super sports cars more than ten years ago.

This also means that entering the research and development market of super sports cars is actually an attempt to develop a technical reserve. However, there are many possibilities for the future development of the automobile industry, especially now that it is facing a hybrid node, so

Entering the research and development field of super sports cars at this time is actually very unwise in the eyes of many people.

But Jin Xiaoqiang does not think so, because although hybrid vehicles may occupy an increasing share of the market in the next few years, purely mechanical vehicles such as super sports cars that use fossil fuels will within a few decades.

But it is unlikely to fall behind, because for now, it is still a recognized benchmark for high-end technology in the automotive industry.

At present, many automobile manufacturing companies in the world have a dedicated automobile development group. The main task of this group is to develop high-performance vehicles for the company and explore the future direction of automobile development. This group is generally regarded as

As an important helmsman for the company's future development.

Ford has a special vehicle research and development group, and Mercedes-Benz has a group called AMG. BMW uses M group to replace the name of this special group. Currently, Jin Xiaoqiang is planning to retain this group that was originally used to research special vehicles for the military.

Liu Changshan is good at chassis and drive design, Liu Hong is good at the research and development of special large-displacement engines, and Liu Xiaoliang is good at debugging on-board electronic systems, as well as various data collection, modeling, and comparison work.

In Jin Xiaoqiang's opinion, the combination of these three people is a very perfect combination. With the three of them working together, it is very suitable for his next supercar plan.

After making the decision, Jin Xiaoqiang expressed his thoughts to Liu Changshan and the three old men. As soon as he expressed his thoughts, he was immediately welcomed by Liu Changshan, Liu Hong, and Liu Xiaoliang.

After all, building a super sports car can be said to be a dream for any engineer engaged in the automobile manufacturing industry. After all, only those who have worked on cars know that as far as the current benchmark of the world's automobile industry is concerned, only one can create a super sports car.

Only a real supercar can prove your strength.

Especially for an automobile manufacturing company like Huayang Power, which is in a period of rapid growth, they need a super sports car to prove their capabilities.

And this supercar has brought more than just fame to Huayang Power, it has also proven that our country can not only produce daily necessities such as shirts and socks, but we can also produce cars as good as foreign countries.

In Jin Xiaoqiang's mind, he already had a clue. He had already made a plan for his future super sports car, and the model he had prepared in his heart for his super sports car plan was the one with...

Ashton Martin Jr.'s supercar...
