Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters F1 car design

"You are right. Today's consumers like super sports cars with rich configurations and luxurious interiors. This generation of consumers is very different from the older generation." After stepping down, Ferrucio said with emotion to Lin Johnson.

General Manager Millerman said: "It's just that Mr. Lin is too generous. Functions such as players, electric adjustable seats, and airbags should be optional, as well as accessories such as spoilers. Other supercars are optional!"

Lin Johnson shook his head and said, "I think since we set the price at a high price of $240,000, we should not be careful about these accessories. This will not only not make much money, but it will also easily cause disgust among consumers.

Those who can afford Porsche will look at Ferrari, while those who can afford Ferrari will come to see our Lamborghini, and we will also include this group of consumers in the ranks of potential customers and strive for it!”

Millerman also agreed with Lin Johnson's business strategy. The previous complaints were just disdain for the boss's generous approach.

Lamborghini's B has attracted the attention of many consumers, and visitors to the auto show are also going to the Lamborghini booth to see the new car. Many magazine and media people have also reported it over and over again. Ghosts are undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the Frankfurt Auto Show.

In fact, this time Lamborghini also brought another new car, but it was much dimmer compared to its sports car, that is, the military off-road vehicle 002.

002 is officially mass-produced this year. The previous generation of this car, the 001, was a model that has participated in the bidding for off-road vehicles in the US, and the Hummer has many marks of 001.

The 5212 engine carefully tuned this time, the engineers were equipped with a gearbox from the company. To ensure that the car can cope with harsh environments, the 002 was designed to use low-grade gasoline and provided a multi-fuel filter device to ensure that every drop of gasoline entering the carburetor is clean.

At the same time, it also uses a huge radiator and an anti-collision steel beam protecting it. From the front, it looks like a monster's big mouth, quite fierce.

The 002 has sufficient heat dissipation capability and efficient air filters, which makes it run through the harsh climate of the Sahara Desert without any problems.

This off-road vehicle with a weight of nearly 3 tons takes only 77 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers, and its maximum speed can reach 208.

Such excellent performance is unique among off-road vehicles. While having excellent road performance, 002 also has extremely powerful off-road capabilities.

The R&D and manufacturing costs of 002 are very high, which makes Lin Johnson a little sad because this car is not a successful model in history. It has only sold more than 300 units, and whether it can recover the cost is still a question.

However, this car can also be regarded as the originator of modern times. It has also obtained a lot of important data in the process of developing it, and has accumulated considerable experience for future development.

The three walked to the 002 car, and Johnson Lin said to Ferrugio and Millerman: "You may not know that China is developing a new type of military off-road vehicle, and they urgently need to replace the older generation of jeeps that are widely used in the army."

Ferrugio asked in confusion: "Do you want Lamborghini to sell 002 in China?"

Lin Johnson shook his head and said, "No, each car is sold for more than 300,000 US dollars, only rich people can afford it. I mean you can bring this car to China for promotion. Maybe there will be manufacturers who will take the initiative to cooperate with Lamborghini, and maybe one or two of them can be sold."

Millerman asked: "Mr. Lin, is there any company that will ask us for cooperation? Will there be Chinese people buying our off-road vehicles?"

Lin Qiangsheng was not sure and said, "There should be something. A car company like China N may cooperate. However, 002 needs to reduce costs!"

Millerman shook his head and said, "It's very difficult to reduce production costs in 002, unless you sacrifice performance, I don't recommend this!"

Lin Johnson simply said: "It doesn't matter, I just say that cooperation with China is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and now is not the time."

"You can go to China to promote it. Not only 002, but also b ghost supercars can also go to China to promote it!" Ferrucio nodded to Johnson Lin and said.

Lin Johnson was very surprised, and Ferrugio smiled and said, "As the boss of Lamborghini, it is too unreasonable for your motherland people to not know Lamborghini!"

"Oh?" Lin Johnson nodded after hearing this, and laughed: "Okay, I decided I'll pay the promotion fee alone!"

The three of them smiled and decided on this matter. Lin Johnson did feel that sports cars should be promoted in China. Although it was a little earlier, the effect should be very good.

Then they talked about Dongxing's plan to form a team and design a racing car. Lin Johnson had already had the idea of ​​asking Ferrugio for one race.

Ferrugio and Millerman were both quite surprised. Millerman said in surprise: "Lin, are you actually looking for Honda to cooperate? Don't you know that 1 is a European event? There is only the soil for developing 1 here. Honda has no achievements in the 1 competition. They participated in several sessions in the 1960s but quickly withdrew."

But Millerman also admitted: "Of course, Honda's engine is very good. They are now participating in the event as a 1-engine provider. However, in terms of overall car design, it is still the strongest in Europe. For example, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany have a group of top design masters!"

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "I know that design in Europe is of course the best, but what I care more about is cultivating design technicians in my hometown. Another thing is that Honda's turbocharged engine technology is indeed very advanced. Their 15-liter 6 twin-turbocharged engine can squeeze out 900 horsepower, which is at the world's leading level."

Although he was a little dissatisfied, Millerman also knew that Honda's dominant position in turbocharger technology, and even Lamborghini had to face up to the Japanese technology.

At this time, Ferrugio said: "Lin, you can set up a racing design room in Lamborghini. Lamborghini engineers are willing to help you. With their participation, you will save you a lot of trouble. We already have experience in supercar design, so it is not difficult to build a racing car. Honda engineers may be very strong in turbocharging technology, but when designing a racing car, they are definitely not Lamborghini's opponents!

How about it? Moving the design room to Italy so that Lamborghini has the opportunity to participate in 1, which is a pretty good thing!" The old man smiled and looked quite yearning.

Lin Johnson thought about it and saw that Ferrucio was full of anticipation, so he smiled and said, "Okay, moving the design to Italy can also increase the design capabilities of Lamborghini, so Lamborghini will do it!"

Ferrugio laughed and rubbed his hands happily. He had always dreamed of participating in 1 for a long time, but the expensiveness of this event also discouraged Lamborghini. In addition, the company lacked funds for a long time, so he could not afford 1.

This time with the support of the new boss, Lamborghini can also participate in the 1st competition in an alternative way, which can be said to have fulfilled his always dream.

He suddenly remembered and said to Millerman, who was also happy: "We are going to announce today that Lamborghini will participate in the design of a car, which is definitely a good advertisement!"

Millerman nodded quickly and said, "This is an important thing. 1. The design of racing requires huge investment. We will definitely increase consumers' confidence when we promote it!"

Lin Johnson nodded and smiled, "This soft advertisement is well played. I do plan to invest a lot of money in the 1st event. I heard that this event is very expensive, so I must make good use of this matter. Do some things for Lamborghini and add more orders!"

Several people nodded in agreement. They returned to the backstage to make a promotional plan, intending to disclose Lamborghini's participation in the 1 racing design to the media during the auto show, which will definitely attract the attention of many car consumers.

Ferrugio said to Lin Johnson: "Lin, you do need to prepare a large amount of money. You have to pay more than 20 million US dollars in declaration fees to the FIA ​​for one event. This money will not be refunded."

Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Money, I'm ready. I want to form a team in the name of Dongxing Group. I don't know if it's okay?"

Ferrugio smiled and said, "No problem, 1 event is an expensive event. The FIA ​​welcomes new companies to join. They don't care about making more money. For example, Honda participated in 1960s without any racing experience. Your Dongxing Group should have no problem. I can help you apply. In addition, I can recommend some top racers to you and give you some suggestions."

"That's great, that's all!" Lin Johnson was overjoyed. This time he came to ask for some experience from Ferrugio. Unexpectedly, the old man said it very actively.

The two sides gathered together, Lamborghini wanted to participate in the first competition in an alternative way. Lin Johnson also received the help of an excellent racing designer, as well as Ferrucio, a master with a very status and influence in the European supercar industry. To be continued.
