Automotive Black Technology Chapter 1189: : The heavy sword has no edge, and the skill has no workmanship!

G500, in fact, does not exist in this time and space, but in the time and space before Li Fanyu, it was called a tough guy's car and a killer suit Mercedes-Benz G500.
Although time and space have changed, Mercedes-Benz's R&D philosophy has always been that way. Its models have always been focused on comfort, but the Mercedes-Benz G500 is an anomaly among all Mercedes-Benz models.
This car can be said to be the most uncomfortable among all Mercedes-Benz models. But at the same time, this car was also the first time that Mercedes-Benz showed the world that it did not only develop and produce luxury cars.
To be honest, the appearance of this car cannot be said to be good-looking. To put it simply, it is like an "iron box".
Except for the wheels and lights, there are no arcs or curves in the entire car. All you can see are straight and sharp lines. Even the rain guide grooves on the roof are additional metal grooves welded along the perimeter of the roof.
The door hinges are even more unceremonious, standing stiffly outside the door gap. The convex wheel arches, the hood shaped like an inverted trapezoid, and the completely upward, huge front turn signal lights are just some of the features of this car that can be talked about.
Seeing this car, it is natural to think of those rock climbers and mountaineering heroes - their body lines are all exposed, without particularly thick and developed muscles, but they look so explosive.
Simple, rough and reliable are the design language and implicit tone of the entire car.
But only by putting aside the unnecessary burdens of flashiness can we truly challenge the limits and conquer nature. This is the connotation of G500.
The appearance is not the key factor that Li Fanyu values about the G500.
After developing this model, his main idea was to put it into Kadar to compete with TSL's RP. More, it is to prove Zhengxin’s battery life and the reliability of pure electric vehicles under harsh working conditions.
To prove these two aspects, the off-road performance and reliability requirements of the vehicle are not at all stringent.
The G500 is not a new car. In fact, there have been no major changes to this car in the decades since its introduction. It can be said that it is an authentic pure off-road vehicle.
The trapezoidal girder structure originated from the last century is thick and strong, and the full-time four-wheel drive system is connected through an integral bridge-type non-independent suspension. It can also be called an antique structure in off-road vehicles.
But it turns out that it is the old chassis of this structure that is the strongest and most reliable for off-road vehicles.
In addition to the trapezoidal girder structure, the G500 also has a full-time four-wheel drive system that outperforms the Range Rover all-terrain system; the four-wheel drive mode adjustment between 4h and 4l can adjust the transfer case transmission ratio from 0.87:1 to 2.16 Seamless switching between ∶1. The increased torque is enough to handle harsh road conditions such as steep slopes and hills.
But the most powerful thing is the magic weapon of the G500 - that is, the three sets of differential locks on the front, rear axle and center equipped on this car!
Except for those crazy modified cars, other off-road vehicles can already be boasted about if they have a central differential/lock. If you add a rear axle differential lock, the advertising will be awesome. Go to heaven.
On the G500, not only are there a center differential and a rear axle differential, but even the front axle is equipped with a differential lock! When all three locks are locked, the power is evenly distributed to the four wheels. In this state, as long as the car is not running on oil, it is impossible to slide sideways!
So in theory, as long as one of the four wheels of the G500 still has adhesion, it can escape the predicament.
It is precisely because of all these factors that the G500's off-road capability has reached its peak, enough for Li Fanyu to directly pass another extreme off-road vehicle, the Wrangler, and bring it back to the world.
In fact, it is not that Zhengxin does not have off-road vehicles at present. In fact, if it is convenient and time-saving, then the best solution is to directly implant the Land Cruiser or Land Rover Range Rover without changing the load-bearing structure and transmission layout. The motor and battery pack create a pure version of an off-road vehicle.
However, this saves time, but it is not the best performance solution.
Because whether it is a Land Cruiser or a Range Rover, it has a huge and terrifying weight. If an electric power solution is installed, it will inevitably require a powerful motor and an oversized battery pack.
So after careful consideration and considering all the needs, Li Fanyu decided to copy the G500, a tough guy car that does not exist in time and space, and keep the original transmission structure and load-bearing structure unchanged. , make electrification modifications.
When Wang Ruiya learned about Li Fanyu's crazy idea, he was so happy that he almost flew out.
"Boss, I don't think it's OK to put the G500 in a BMW!" This guy walked up to Li Fanyu with a smile and said,
"Why?" Li Fanyu tilted his head and looked at him questioningly.
Wang Rui rubbed his hands, licked his lips and said: "Look, boss, it's true that BMW is the electric department of Zhengxin. But this car of yours was built to participate in the Kadar Rally, right?"
"Ang!" Li Fanyu nodded, "What's that?"
"According to the previously defined business scope, our X-car, that is, the high-performance department is responsible for the performance modification of our regular models under Zhengxin, the design and production of non-mass production performance cars, and... the group's Provide technical support for the event, right? ”
"Ah..." Li Fanyu kind of understood what kind of detour this guy was taking,
Seeing the expression of realization on Li Fanyu's face, Wang Rui struck while the iron was hot: "Is the Kadar Rally included in the scope of the event?"
"Yeah," Li Fanyu nodded.
Wang Rui clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this settled? Since Kadar is an event and this car is prepared for Kadar, it will naturally belong to our X-car banner. ! ”
"Uh," Li Fanyu felt that what he said made sense, and was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, it's settled! Brother Fan, hurry up and complete the design part, and I will make power matching and trial production preparations for you right away. Time waits for no one, the Kadar Rally is about to happen, we You have to hurry up! Come on, let's see what I can do for you."
While Li Fanyu was still turning the corner, Wang Rui had already collected the manuscripts on the table, sat down next to him, and started to prepare to work.
"Hi!"
Seeing this guy's appearance, Li Fanyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your grandson got me into this. The G500 is a pure electric model, so it will naturally be included in the BMW."
Seeing that Wang Rui was getting anxious, he quickly reached out his hand to comfort him: "But since what you said before is so reasonable, this car will be your X-car, okay?"
Wang Rui was happy now.
"But the ugly words are ahead. You should know why we built this car. It is to compete with TSL-RP in Dakar and prove the reliability and battery technology of our pure electric models. Best I want to come back with a championship, so I’ll make this car for you as an X-car, but you can’t let me off the hook.”
"That's necessary!" Wang Rui chuckled and issued a military order.
"But Brother Fan, since it is included in the X-car, it must follow the naming rules of the X-car, right? What magic weapon are you planning to name this time?"
This confused Li Fanyu, but it didn’t bother him.
He thought for a while, looked at the appearance of the G500, and said: "The heavy sword has no edge, and the skill has no workmanship. Let's call it Juque."
