This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Chapter 805 Genius Test Driver

June 22,

10am.

The Wayne family and the Granger family were chatting and laughing, dragging their luggage into Heathrow International Airport in London's Hillingdon district.

Two cute pets, Gugu and Crookshanks, were also there, but they stayed in Vincent's suitcase.

Cecia and Abraham followed quietly behind them.

The two people disguised as ordinary Muggle lovers certainly did not go on vacation together. Their task was to set up magic base stations in various European countries.

The cumbersome boarding procedures did not dissatisfy the two former dark wizards. After all, the only way to legally enter other countries was through Muggle channels.

The direct flight to Modena, Italy, landed smoothly three hours later.

Coming out of the airport hall, both families could see three conspicuous Bugatti coupes.

Eric stepped forward and gave Luca Schreiber, Bugatti’s chief engineer, a warm hug.

"Luka, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No way, Mr. Wayne, you don't know that our team has been looking forward to sharing our latest results with you all day long."

After the two hugged, Luca looked at Vincent in surprise.

They have grown up so much in just one year. Children nowadays develop so fast.

He walked towards Vincent enthusiastically, and the two gave him a big hug.

"Mr. Wayne, your design is great. The prototype we completed will definitely satisfy you."

"Thank you for your hard work. Some of the ideas I proposed should be difficult to implement, right?"

Luca relaxed his embrace and shook his head, "Of course not. You don't even know how excited our group is to realize your advanced concept."

His confident look made Vincent start to look forward to it.

With current technology, the Bugatti Veyron was successfully manufactured 10 years ahead of schedule. You can imagine what kind of life the research team lived during this year.

Day and night is certain, but from the excitement that cannot be concealed on Luka's face, it is not difficult to see that he is actually a very pure person.

After Eric introduced him to the Granger family, they got in the car and headed to the Bugatti depot in Campogaliano.

The appearance of the square building has not changed at all, and the words "BUGATTI" made of blue bricks on the wall remain stable and restrained.

Led by Luca, the group first visited a slightly changed factory building.

The Volkswagen Group has a cooperation agreement with Bugatti, and they provide a lot of advanced equipment and technical support.

Their team returned to China long before they completed the prototype, but the two parties have always communicated remotely.

After walking around the factory, Luca took everyone to a closed laboratory.

Through the glass, they all clearly saw a Bugatti Veyron in original carbon fiber color.

It is placed next to a pile of instruments. Although the carbon fiber texture of the shell is a bit monotonous, the "shark nose" design on the front face is very unique. Together with the large air intake and headlights, the front of the vehicle looks particularly domineering.

Its rear is also very unique. The four exhaust pipes on both sides are not easy to mess with at first glance, and the streamlined rear highlights its elegant temperament.

Domineering yet elegant, like a tough man in a suit.

He looks like a gentleman, but he is not overly powerful.

However, the interior is relatively simple. After all, it is still a prototype and has not yet been considered for mass production.

Luca excitedly pushed open a glass door and led everyone to the car.

“Veyron adopts a mid-mounted four-wheel drive and ceramic ventilated disc brake system, a W-type 16-cylinder direct injection engine made of titanium alloy, equipped with four turbochargers, with a maximum power of 1001 horsepower, 736 kilowatts, and a rotation speed of 2200 to 5500 rpm. Maximum torque per minute.”

He clenched his slightly trembling fists, his eyes flashed with incredible enthusiasm,

"The laboratory's top speed has reached 417km/h, and it only takes 2.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h. What amazing data this is!"

417km/h, faster than the expected 407km/h.

Of course, this is laboratory data after all, and it should be difficult to achieve it in actual testing.

Eric couldn't put it down and stroked the carbon fiber shell of the car body. "Do you have any track test data?"

Luca shook his head and sighed softly, "Veyron is a violent beast inside. We have contacted several suitable test drivers, but unfortunately their appointments are already fully booked and will have to wait until the beginning of next month at the earliest."

There is a G value of 1.1 in the first 2.5 seconds of zero-to-100 acceleration. Ordinary people without training can withstand about 2 G at most. It really takes a top test driver to run the entire distance.

Bugatti did not hire a designated test driver, and there was only one prototype, so they had to wait patiently.

Vincent came to Eric and winked at him.

Test drive? Now?

With Luca's enthusiasm for the prototype car, even the boss's orders may not work.

"Dad..."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Eric mysteriously pulled Luca out of the laboratory.

The soundproof glass blocked the conversation between the two people very well, but it was not difficult to tell from the gradually increasing body movements that they were arguing.

Hermione came to Vincent who was squatting and looking at Michelin's special tires, leaned over and patted his shoulder gently, "Do you want to be the first test driver?"

"Yes, I designed the car, so of course I will test it myself."

She pointed to the other side of the soundproof glass, "Uncle Eric seems to have done his best. Don't forget that you are still just a child in his eyes."

Vincent stood up, "It seems I need to prove myself."

He walked out of the laboratory, and a few words calmed Luca down.

He then made an "OK" gesture to Hermione through the glass, indicating that everything was done.

Evelyn didn't need to say anything, even the Grangers saw what he wanted to do.

How to prove that you are capable of being a test driver? There is only one answer, that is to show your strength on the track.

Led by Luca, several people came to the test track behind the Bugatti factory.

Vincent changed into a blue-black racing protective suit and found that almost the entire research team was there.

Under the gazes of more than a dozen different eyes, he calmly put on his helmet and got on a silver Bugatti EB110SS for testing.

Compared with the basic EB110, the SS (Super Sport) model has been optimized in terms of engine, chassis and aerodynamics. The whole vehicle has reduced its weight by 150 kg and uses lighter wheels and glass.

The silver EB110SS slowly drove into the test track. When the countdown reached "0", it roared out of the starting point.

One of the members of the research team waved his fist and shouted: "Perfect start!"

Luca's face was full of disbelief.

He quickly looked at the large screen connected to the speedometer next to him.

The zero-to-hundred acceleration was 3.1 seconds, which was 0.1 seconds faster than the previous top test driver.

A fast start does not mean anything. The key is to look at the corners and the top speed.

Soon, the first right-angle corner came.

1.3 seconds, the speed was even maintained at 192km/h.

Then there was a whole section of straight track.

The top speed was 355kn/h, the upper limit of the theoretical speed.

Can you run such a result for the first time?

Luca swallowed subconsciously, "He is a talented test driver."

The members of the research team nodded in agreement.

The Waynes and the Grangers were not too surprised.

Especially in Hermione's eyes, it would be strange if Vincent didn't have this ability.
