In addition, the reason why Jin Xiaoqiang chose the 50th anniversary commemorative edition of the Ford Mustang with the title of Little Ashton Martin as a model to develop his own supercar also had several other considerations.

The most important of these are the car's appearance, overall layout, and pricing.

In terms of appearance, this current Mustang, which even Ford has not yet targeted, was originally finalized by Ford in 2011 and planned to be launched on the market in 2015 after four years of careful building.

Although this car has been accused of plagiarizing Ashton Martin since it was unveiled as a concept car at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, for now, if we develop our own car based on this car

If it’s a supercar, it’s completely

No need to worry about this.

Moreover, after incorporating the design elements of Ashton Martin, this Mustang is completely different in appearance from the previous old Mustangs.

It can even be said that in terms of appearance alone, this car has completely abandoned the previous Ford Mustang. It has the appearance and design of a muscle car at first glance.

After integrating the design layout of Ashton Martin's front grille and changing the original Mustang's somewhat dull-looking square eyelights, the appearance of this car looks more smooth and coordinated, and more

The fierceness shows a kind of domineering power that can be described as anything.

This gives this car a unique temperament. In terms of appearance alone, it can be said that it is on par with the likes of Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari, and each has its own merits.

To know the sales volume of a car after it is launched, whether the car's appearance is beautiful or not, and whether it can catch the attention of consumers are very critical factors.

Especially for such an expensive supercar, whether the car's appearance is attractive or not is the key to making those wealthy people willing to pay for this car.

Therefore, the appearance of a car is very important, and the appearance of this 2015 Mustang, which is named Little Ashton Martin, can be said to be in line with future consumers' aesthetic standards for cars.

The exterior lines are simple and smooth, and the front face is fierce but also has a different kind of elegance. As soon as this car is parked outside, it is enough to attract the attention of most consumers.

The reason for choosing the appearance of this car as the development of a super sports car is the layout of this car. Everyone knows that the reason why today's super sports cars can soar to such high speeds depends on the head box.

There is a high-power engine inside.

And those engines all have monster nicknames. Such a high-power engine can emit explosive power that is unimaginable for ordinary models with just a kick of oil. Such models are generally difficult to control.

But today's era is an era that pays great attention to the joy of control. In other words, your car can have high power, but in terms of controllability, it must be better than ordinary cars, otherwise your car will not be able to drive.

Who else will buy it?

Therefore, in order to ensure good handling performance, super sports cars are generally very particular in their layout. This is why general super sports cars will choose a very low streamlined shape and a three-door and two-seater design.

And the front part of such a supercar looks very long. In fact, this design is to allow such a supercar to not only have unlimited power for acceleration, but also have good handling performance.

As we all know, the body of a supercar is generally very low. This is to ensure that the car has very good road-holding performance and prevents the car from drifting when cornering at high speed.

The front of the car is designed to be very long, and the seat is relatively far back, in order to give the car the best golden layout ratio of 50:50.

Such a layout can ensure that the center of gravity of the car is exactly in the middle of the body, so that with the support of the powerful motor, such a car can have better controllability.

This kind of layout proportion is the experience gained by countless passionate American drivers through bloody lessons in the era when American muscle cars were popular.

Moreover, every time a new car is designed, a platform must be redesigned, and the cost of redesigning such a platform is not low.

And now there happens to be a ready-made platform like the Ford Mustang that we can learn from, so why not do it? You must know that Ford has developed this platform for a long time.

The front and rear weight ratio of previous Mustangs was not a perfect 50:50, but on this car, Ford's engineers worked very hard to finally adjust the car's center of gravity ratio to a point where it is in line with the rest of the world.

.

Jin Xiaoqiang can be said to have been famous for this platform for a long time, and has been familiar with it for a long time. In his previous life, when he was a car repairman, he had the opportunity to repair Ford Mustang sedans many times, so for this platform

The chassis of the car can be said to be very familiar to me. Having handled it a lot, as an automotive engineer, I can roughly guess how the chassis platform of this car is configured.

And another advantage of using the Mustang platform is that the chassis of this car is also very powerful among many supercars.

As we all know, the chassis of general supercars will choose a chassis with very low ground clearance because of the powerful engine the car is equipped with. After all, this can enhance the car's high-speed stability, reduce wind resistance, and enhance the car's controllability.

However, although this enhances the car's handling and stability, it has a great impact on the car's passing ability.

This is also the main reason why many supercars can only drive on roads with excellent road conditions. Once they are off the road, they are completely inoperable.

But the chassis of the Mustang is very different from those of supercars. Its chassis has a very high ground clearance, even similar to that of many ordinary family cars.

If it is specially adjusted, the ground clearance of its chassis can even be higher. This will turn the Mustang into a real Mustang, with extraordinary passing ability, and can even drive on non-paved roads sometimes.

It is comparable to other family cars.

This is of course related to the pedigree of the Mustang. After all, this car is originally a muscle car that Americans love most, and the source of muscle cars is high-horsepower pickup trucks with strong off-road capabilities, or full-size models.

As early as the 1960s, these models had no concept of paved roads and non-paved roads, so the passing performance of these models was generally very strong.

This is also the main reason why American muscle cars maintain strong passing performance even today.

Such strong passability is also retained in the 2015 Ford Mustang, which is the main reason why Jin Xiaoqiang values ​​this car.

You must know that in China, supercars have always been toys for the rich. Ordinary car fans can only look forward to such models and sigh.

And even those rich people who can afford such a car do not often drive such a car out and about, but only sometimes drive such a car to show off their 13.

They bought such a supercar but didn’t drive it. It’s not that they don’t want to drive it, but because the road environment in our country is really bad. The roads in many provinces and cities have defects of one kind or another. These defects are very important to us.

For vehicles with better passability, it may not be a big problem.

But for a car like a supercar that has very high requirements on road conditions, this is simply murder. Therefore, many car owners who have purchased supercars in China cannot often drive their cars. The most common choice is to drive them out.

Their beloved car is kept in the garage, and they only occasionally drive it out for a shine when necessary.

But Jin Xiaoqiang has now chosen the appearance of this 2015 Mustang as the appearance of his supercar, which gives this car the appearance of a supercar and also has the passability that other supercars do not have.

In this case, those wealthy consumers will have more choices when buying such a car. After all, this is a real supercar that is both practical and stylish and suitable for China's road conditions. It is not a Ferrari, or

It's the kind of supercar that Porsche only cares about.

The third main reason for choosing this car as a copycat is related to the market pricing of this car in the future.

As we all know, super sports cars are generally the playthings of the rich. This is true internationally, and even more so in China.

Even if a supercar like a Porsche or a Ferrari is sold abroad, the price is generally not less than 100,000 U.S. dollars. Needless to say, in China, the sky-high price of several million can only be sold.

The vast majority of consumers are shunned by such supercars.

The price of a well-known American classic brand like the Mustang in the United States is only between US$43,000 and US$50,000.

And this price in China is not even close to the price of a 180-horsepower Audi a4l without air-conditioning vents in the rear. Of course, this is because American cars are cheaper to buy.

Jin Xiaoqiang plans to build this car into a civilian supercar, but because of its status and characteristics as a supercar, even if it is cheap in China, the starting price is estimated to be more than 400,000, and it will be divided into many different models.

The model and the final selling price of the highest level will certainly not be less than one million.

Although the starting price of this car will not be less than 400,000, which is not low for many people, it will undoubtedly be a surprise for many people who like supercars but have been stuck with the price.

.

As mentioned above, these three reasons are all important reasons why Jin Xiaoqiang chose this car to copycat.
