Chapter 586 : What are you afraid of!
Seeing that the record was taken away again, hennessey could no longer sit still.
Originally, according to the current situation of the hennessey car factory, punms should have entered the test after Christmas. However, after Li Fanyu's first test at the Kennedy Space Center, he saw that the name of the fast-track that he relied on for survival was robbed, so he rushed to work and created the punms.
Although it seems to be the punms that have regained the world's highest speed, they are hard to tell themselves. After conducting a test and running at a speed of 447km/h, the punms used for testing, which cost more than $2 million, has been completely scrapped.
In order to squeeze performance in a short time, hennessey extended the v16 engine of the car and added four turbines.
Using the form of burning the life of a vehicle, an extreme speed was created.
The engine of the punms, which cost a lot, was actually on the verge of scrapping after being transported back to the vehicle factory.
It is said that rs have exploited Guinness's loopholes, but punms is the same. Hennessey accused rs of not following the rules, which is actually just a joke about the second...
But Guinness didn't know about this, nor did the outside world know about it.
Li Fanyu didn't know even more.
So after seeing the statement they issued, Li Fanyu fell into deep thoughts.
In fact, to some extent, hennessey is right;
Relying on a single-electron turbocharged W12 engine, the data shown by rs is very good. However, it still throws the first echelon of performance cars. If you throw this system, the theoretical speed of rs is between 300-320km/h.
This is not a self-deprecating thing. After all, rs is based on the upgrade of the A4 platform. Although many top-notch technologies are installed, the foundation is there. Li Fanyu is already full of pride in his heart to be able to modify the A4L into rs whose performance has been improved by 3 times.
When I first chose the a4, it was because the basic panel of this car was relatively low, which could maximize performance. It only met the system upgrade conditions.
For the reasons for shooting the system, if Li Fanyu wanted to make a modified car born for the limit, he would never choose a4l as the blueprint.
Not to mention anything else, just take the a4l platform as an example, it is the platform of the front engine.
What is the modified vehicle?
The gearbox, engine, and suspension can all be upgraded according to the maximum range that the chassis can withstand. Even the chassis can strengthen strength and reduce weight to serve performance, but the layout is the same. So this is called modification, not production.
However, the a4 platform determines that the performance of this car is limiting.
How did the nos be added? It was not because Li Fanyu deliberately increased the speed, but because the front engine made the front of the car too heavy, the weight ratio of the body was unevenly distributed, which affected the handling, so there was such a compromise and crazy solution.
After seeing Hennessey's statement, although Li Fanyu had a toothache, he did not refute like before.
Although hennessey's purpose is impure, the content of this statement is inserted into the weakness of rs.
Li Fanyu thought about it for a long time. If the nos nitrogen oxygen system is cancelled, the breeding ratio of rs will be unbalanced, and the counterweight must be added to the rear row so that the handling of the car body will not be affected.
In this way, without the power bonus of Nos, the weight of the car body has increased again, and the speed of rs is only about 300km/h.
In fact, in recent days, Mason has also told Li Fanyu about the approval issues of rs in North America. Because the Nos nitrogen oxygen system is a violent crushing device after all, according to the United States Road Safety Traffic Law, vehicles equipped with the Nos nitrogen oxygen system are not allowed to go on the road legally and can only be used as tracks.
This is very painful - without the nos nitrogen oxygen system, rs can only be called a high-performance sports car.
Now hennessey has filed a complaint against Guinness. If the results are really cancelled and the fast selling point is gone, the position of rs will be even more embarrassing...
According to Murphy's law, if you worry about something happening, the greater the possibility of something happening.
Sure enough, on the third day after the hennessey car factory filed a complaint against Guinness, Li Fanyu received the notice;
"Dear Mr. Li, the day before yesterday, we received a complaint letter from the Hennessey modification factory. The other party questioned the rapid results achieved by rs using the Nos Nitrogen-oxygen acceleration system on the runway of the Kennedy Space Center. In order to reflect the Guinnesse's principle of fairness and fairness, a large amount of information was investigated by the notary team. After careful research, the handling of the complaint was as follows;
Given that the nos nitrogen oxygen system does not belong to the vehicle's own performance and is an external device, we believe that hennessey's complaint is valid.
However, the maximum speed of 478km/h tested by the nitrogen-oxygen acceleration system was loaded into the world record, which was a major mistake for us.
We express our deep regret and apologies for this.
In order to ensure the fairness and justice of Guinness, we will give you and rs one month to upgrade performance without plug-in devices (such as nos nitrogen oxygen system). If rs can still achieve a speed of 478km/h, the record will not be changed. If it cannot be reached after one month, then I am sorry, we will cancel the rs record and change it to 457km/h of punms!
——Guinness Official Notary Team.”
After closing the email, Li Fanyu couldn't help but smile bitterly; he was so happy that he was so unparalleled that disaster would never happen, and he was worried about whatever he was worried about...
Li Fanyu was no longer able to complain about the month given by Guinness.
If you want to remove the nitrogen system, it is almost impossible to improve the performance to an extremely fast speed of 478km/h.
Although this sounds like this is not a big change, it will actually bring about almost all the changes that will be overturned.
Just like he was worried before; because rs shortened the wheelbase and body of the a4l and moved the b-pillar forward. Then replaced the zgx888 engine itself with a w12 electronic turbine engine, and the entire front weight gained by nearly 20kg. If the nos for counterweight are removed, the weight balance of the body will be broken.
There are many ways to make a car run fast. The other supporting facilities of rs are pretty good. If you really want to speed up, Li Fanyu can definitely create v16 or w16.
But without changing the body structure and layout, the cost of doing so will create a car world deformity - a freak who can only run straight lines and push the head and roll over in minutes in high speed!
China is now preparing for Zhengxin Energy, and Li Fanyu doesn't waste so much time on this matter from the bottom of his heart.
If the rs cancels the Nos nitrogen-oxygen acceleration system and adds counterweight in the rear row, it will be nothing more than a big profit.
It can be sold by appropriately reducing production costs, just like the Audi rs series' high-performance sports models before the change of history.
Li Fanyu is actually more concerned about biodiesel from the bottom of his heart, so he doesn’t waste too much time and energy on this matter.
With this attitude, he even wanted to reply to Guinness with an email and gave up on his own initiative.
However, an announcement issued by the hennessey car factory on its official website after receiving the report result made Li Fanyu completely change his mind.
"We are pleased to see the fairness and justice of Guinness, making the due ruling on the behavior of rs using the Nos Nitrogen System to set the world record in an almost cheating way.
The pursuit of speed of transportation has always been something that all mankind has been committed to. Over the past century, we have continuously maintained this obsession with speed through improvements in all aspects.
Hennessey Modification Factory has always been following this lofty ideal and has made purer modifications and upgrades to the authorized high-performance sports cars.
During the modification process, we are committed to reducing the weight of the body, increasing the engine horsepower, and making the most extreme optimizations for various assembly of the body.
Ripe wheat always bows its head, but we are deeply proud of our achievements.
Thank you Guinness for letting the halo of honor return to the strong, rather than falling into the hands of the thief.
punmsv16,457km/h.
The top masterpiece of the American automobile industry, the world's top performance level, the true king of speed!
