reborn industrial empire

After Jin Xiaoqiang's explanation, these foreign reporters finally understood the most outstanding features of this fiery war horse.

In the eyes of consumers and engineers in areas with developed automobile cultures such as Europe and the United States, the key to a car is nothing more than three parts, one is the engine, one is the transmission, and the third is the chassis.

Now there is no need to say more about the engine of this fiery war horse, because it has already proven its strength on the track, and after Jin Xiaoqiang explained the chassis of this car in detail, these foreign reporters now

I can better understand the strength of this car.

Over the years, people have been constantly researching and researching on automobile engines. As time goes by, the development of engine technology has become more and more sophisticated, and the peak power and torque that the engine can provide to the car have also become more and more sophisticated.

big.

However, as the horsepower of the engine has greatly increased, people have also discovered that the greater the peak power of the car's engine, the more difficult it is to drive the car. This is because the high power brought by the high-horsepower engine is transformed through the transmission.

After the torque is output, the wheels will slip on the road because the rotation speed is too high.

Therefore, how to better balance the contradiction between high-horsepower engines and control has become a difficult problem for chassis engineers in major automobile companies.

At the same time, this is also the place where the skills of a chassis engineer are best tested, and Jin Xiaoqiang was originally known as a genius in the automotive design industry. He is commendable in terms of car appearance design, engine design, and chassis design.

And in recent years, some of the models he designed have also won quite a good reputation in the market.

But in the field of the most high-end luxury cars and super sports cars, he has yet to prove himself, and the fiery war horse he brought this time has undoubtedly become the best proof that he is truly an unquestionable master of car design.

.

A 550-horsepower motorcycle, driven by such a chassis, can complete a record-breaking single lap on the New North Circuit so perfectly. It is indeed such an achievement. For any designer in his twenties, it is possible.

It's called great design.

Even when presented to critical experts, there was nothing to say about the chassis of this car. Many reporters realized this, and the question began to change.

The focus of this transformation is, of course, no surprise. It falls on the last core component of this fiery horse that deserves attention.

"So, Mr. Jin, can you now introduce to everyone the gearbox used in your fiery war horse?"

An American reporter then asked Jin Xiaoqiang. It was obvious that this fiery war horse had been put under a magnifying glass by these guys. Every detail about him was followed by these reporters.

Jin Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry and began to slowly explain to the group of people.

Speed! These two words may not be everything about super sports cars, but they must be the supreme rule for designing and manufacturing super sports cars.

For a supercar that wants to leave others behind, having a powerful engine that rivals thousands of others can only be considered a good start. And then, if you want to kill time, you must have a "

An agile transmission.

And this is also the key to deciding the victory or defeat in those few tenths of a second.

Advanced supercars have slowly begun to enter the era of the rebirth of 8-cylinder, 10-cylinder, 12-cylinder, and even 16-cylinder monsters. In order to deal with these horsepower monsters, supercar designers are choosing and

When matching a transmission with a horsepower monster, you will generally feel a huge headache.

Because in order to more perfectly cooperate with such an engine, there will be many stringent requirements on the transmission when selecting the transmission.

For example, the transmission efficiency, response speed, reliability, lightweight, perfect control system and many other conditions of the transmission are indispensable. It can be said that the requirements for the transmission of a super sports car are even more stringent than Sister Feng's requirements for choosing a spouse.

Although automatic transmission models are becoming more and more popular on the market today, in the world of super sports cars, manual transmissions will always be the mainstream. Even if it is a sports car worth tens of millions, its terminal transmission will still use a manual transmission.

.

Because the manual transmission can better integrate the driver and the super sports car, it can allow the driver to more vividly experience the pleasure of hundreds or thousands of horsepower driving the monster under his butt roaring forward under his own control.

It can let them feel this sense of control in more detail.

Therefore, this fiery war horse also uses a manual transmission without exception.

In fact, for Jin Xiaoqiang, this is a natural thing. You must know that in his previous life, Ford also struggled to find a suitable transmission for this engine to match it.

After all, the horsepower generated by the 5.4L V8 engine of this Shelby Viper is so powerful. While it can output a peak power of 550 horsepower, it can also output a peak torque of 691 Nm, while ordinary

It is already remarkable that the transmission can withstand a torque of 400 to 500 Nm, not to mention the super torque of 691 Nm!

If you can't find a transmission that can withstand such high torque, then no matter how good Ford's engine is, it will be in vain.

In the end, in order to find the most perfect match, Ford's SVT was searched through thousands of competitors. Finally, among thousands of competitors, the famous American transmission design company TTC was selected, and its highest-end product Tremectr-6060 was chosen to compete with theirs.

The 5.4L V8 monster forms a perfect combination.

Regarding this transmission, in his previous life, Jin Xiaoqiang had done a very in-depth study of this transmission when he was helping a prince in the capital to dismantle and repair his Shelby that was lying on the road due to improper driving.

So I have a very good understanding of this transmission. The highest-end model of Tremec, the tr-6060 transmission, is from TTC Company. After accepting the invitation of Ford SVT, at the end of 2006, it began to supply the Ford Mustang Shelby.

Specially designed transmission.

You must know that before this, although TTC had many products, there were not many transmissions that could handle 690 Nm of torque.

In order to perfectly cooperate with Shelby's engine, TTC's engineering team and Ford's SVT team ate, drank and slept together. They worked in the Shelby R&D factory for three months, and finally

Take out this super tremectr-6060 transmission that can withstand up to 810 Nm of torque.

I have to say that Americans have a profound technical background. If China were to come up with such a transmission within three months, I am afraid that even if we were given three years, we would not be able to make such a powerful transmission.

Come.

Moreover, when this transmission is paired with the 5.4L V8 engine, it plays a perfect combination, making the performance of the entire car even better.

It is a pity that TTC has no chance to produce such a transmission in this life, because such an excellent transmission is destined to be born in the hands of Jin Xiaoqiang in this life.

It can be said that Jin Xiaoqiang is another shameless copy of American engineers this time. Indeed, what these guys did is really outstanding. If it weren't for their unbridled creativity, it would be difficult for Jin Xiaoqiang to think that they would do it.

In this way, the transmission is optimized.

Of course, this transmission has actually appeared on the Qoros pickup truck they sold, but it was an entry-level version that had not been optimized by Jin Xiaoqiang. In addition, because the model was a pickup truck, it was not

Not too noticeable.

It is also a manual transmission, but there is only one difference between the manual transmission of an ordinary family car and the transmission of a super sports car like this.

If we have to explain this difference thoroughly, we can say that compared with the transmission of a super sports car and that of an ordinary family car, the cost is not considered.

In the manual transmission of ordinary family cars, the internal gears are basically helical cylindrical gears.

The teeth of this kind of gear are at a certain angle with the gear axis. This tooth shape allows the gear teeth to gradually participate in meshing instead of all of a sudden, so the noise during meshing operation is also smaller.

But it also has shortcomings: due to the helical teeth, it will generate axial thrust when meshing, which requires special bearings to bear this axial load. In addition, due to the large meshing area, it will also

Increased gear wear.

The gears used in manual transmissions used in supercars are spur gears. This form of full tooth surface contact increases the strength of the gears, but it also causes noise during gear meshing.

But at the same time, its transmission efficiency will be much higher than that of ordinary helical spur gears, allowing the vehicle to obtain greater wheel power.

And in order to ensure that this transmission can have better transmission efficiency, American designers also redesigned the density of the gear ratio, and in order to meet the shorter shift stroke, they also conducted a brand new redesign of the entire control structure.

Optimize design.

It's just that all these designs in this life have been attributed to Jin Xiaoqiang, and the famous TR-6060 transmission has become another masterpiece of Jin Xiaoqiang in the field of transmissions...

Moreover, in order to reduce friction, control noise, and enhance the strength of the gear, Jin Xiaoqiang used very hard special steel to manufacture such a gear regardless of the cost. After the wheel is formed, it will also be

The surface of the gear is coated with a layer of special mineral powder to increase the friction coefficient of the gear and reduce noise.

After Jin Xiaoqiang's optimization of the already excellent TR-6060 transmission, the maximum rated torque was 810 Nm and even increased to 880 Nm. When hearing such data, the reporters

Besides sucking in the cold air, what else can we do while keeping recording with both hands? (To be continued.
