126: Big dark horse, big earthquake in the industry
The entire venue fell silent!
"What?"
"What did he say? I didn't mishear, did I?"
"Are you sure the data isn't wrong?"
"Are you sure it's a 3-second charge, not 3 hours?"
"A battery with a 5000-kilometer range, wouldn't its volume be several times larger than a normal battery?"
Everyone scoffed at Ren Yi's words, some even directly started cursing.
"Damn it, there's a limit to how much you can brag!"
"Do you really think everyone here is an idiot?!"
"You still have the nerve to talk about Mitsubishi; I think your Thunder is even more exaggerated than Mitsubishi."
The data Ren Yi announced was too sensational, and the Top Ten Luxury Cars had blocked information about Thunder, so not many ordinary people knew about it.
Even if some knew the inside story, no one would believe it if they spoke up.
There was no better way to prove it at the moment, so Ren Yi could only skip this item.
No choice.
Asian car companies' technology has always been looked down upon by Europe, and it's not the first or second time.
And Europeans were accustomed to it, treating Ren Yi's words as a joke, just listening and moving on!
Regarding this.
Ren Yi was also quite helpless.
For everyone to accept this data, only the thunder m13 could open up the European market and let those car owners verify it themselves!
"The thunder m13 is also equipped with our independently developed dual-motor system, with a maximum output power of 550kw and a maximum horsepower of 1500 horsepower."
"The acceleration reaches an astonishing 1.5 seconds!"
"As far as I know, the fastest acceleration for all current supercars is 1.8 seconds, so we are far ahead globally!"
Ren Yi announced three incredible pieces of data in one breath.
Europeans could still accept the dual-motor system.
After all, making the motor assembly larger could achieve this effect.
But this 1.5-second acceleration, they couldn't quite handle it!
Damn it, can't you just not brag?
For typical supercars, let alone breaking 2 seconds, even 3 seconds for acceleration is not common.
A 1.5-second record.
Perhaps only privately customized, globally sold sports cars could achieve that.
But don't forget.
The thunder m13 is a new energy vehicle,
And the competition requires that participating cars must be mass-producible family sedans!
Globally, there is currently no mass-produced car with 1.5-second acceleration!
Not even 2 seconds!
If the data Ren Yi spoke of was true, then this global lead.
It truly lives up to its name!
It's just that.
How is this possible?
Everyone's first thought was to deny it.
No one was willing to believe it.
A mass-produced car, with horsepower comparable to a heavy truck, and acceleration close to a top-tier racing car.
Even Novitski, who had previously praised the new Thunder car's design, looked skeptical.
This was simply insulting his intelligence.
"Does he have no common sense about cars at all?"
"Doesn't he know what these few pieces of data mean?"
However, Ren Yi then directly showed a video of a prototype car test.
It proved everyone wrong.
Seeing the rally test and acceleration test scenes in the video.
Gasps of surprise echoed one after another!
"Unbelievable!"
"It's crazy!"
"How is this possible?"
"Oh, my God, this is simply incredible!"
"It's too crazy, this isn't special effects, is it?"
"If the video is real, then this car is truly alien technology."
The moment the video played.
The scene erupted into chaos!
Before, when Ren Yi spoke, the whole place was filled with boos and mockery.
But unexpectedly.
In the professional test video, the horsepower and acceleration were exactly as Ren Yi described.
You should know.
The faster the acceleration, the stronger the car's overall performance.
Even an improvement of 0.1 seconds is a qualitative leap.
Many people present were already dumbfounded!
"Holy cow, what's the difference between this and an F1?"
"This is too exaggerated, are you sure this isn't a racing car modified from a heavy truck?"
"Can Asia really produce a top-tier sports car with this kind of acceleration?"
"Look, it actually dragged a fully loaded heavy truck?"
"This is too exaggerated!"
"Are you sure the heavy truck wasn't empty?"
Although they said that, everyone accepted the facts.
After all, faking it would be meaningless for Thunder, because after the exhibition, there would be special personnel to conduct tests to ensure fairness and impartiality.
If caught faking, Thunder's reputation would be ruined.
It clearly did not align with the original intention of participating in the competition.
Moreover, who would be foolish enough to do such an obvious "fake"?
"Quick... quickly record it, Thunder is definitely the dark horse of this competition!"
Some media at the scene had already sniffed out the scent of traffic and immediately started furiously pressing the shutter towards the exhibition stand.
According to the car's exterior design and the data announced by the Thunder chairman.
Assuming there was no faking, this thunder m13 was definitely the most explosive presence today!
It would definitely become the focus of this World Automobile Competition!
At this moment.
The news media and car review bloggers at the scene were already frantic, flocking around.
This was a hot news topic; whoever released it first would gain a large amount of traffic.
Thunder's stunning debut with this new car meant that all other exhibition cars today would be overshadowed.
Getting the first-hand information quickly was the urgent matter!
...
This was Mitsubishi's exhibition stand.
Originally, the protagonist today was already confirmed to be it.
And its exhibition car had received the highest score in the entire venue.
The person in charge of Mitsubishi Motors was secretly gloating, already fantasizing about soaring to success with this competition.
And Mitsubishi Motors would return to people's sight.
However.
The appearance of Thunder absorbed all the halo that originally belonged to Mitsubishi.
The crowd on the periphery instantly stirred.
Many media outlets who were already about to leave the exhibition hall suddenly realized something.
Their expressions changed immediately.
They glanced at the crowd continuously gathering towards the Thunder exhibition, decisively turned around, and rushed towards the direction where the crowd was converging.
More and more people behind also reacted and ran over one after another.
And as they ran, they heard people nearby making sounds.
"Quick! An Asian car company has released a new energy vehicle, claiming to have no rivals among mass-produced sedans."
"It is said that its horsepower and acceleration are the best in the world, crushing all supercars!"
"I heard that old Mr. Novitski was even startled and is also watching over there!"
"What?"
"Ah... this???"
"Hiss hiss...!"
When the curious onlookers, unaware of the truth, heard these snippets, they were instantly dumbfounded!
"What Thunder? Is there such a brand?
"What the heck... is it real or fake? Can such an advanced car be made in that backward place, Asia?!"
Many people suspected they had misheard.
But the continuous flow of people gathering in one direction could not be faked.
"Damn, Thunder must be some small obscure brand, can it be that amazing?"
"1.5-second acceleration, is that still a sedan?"
"5000-kilometer range, are you sure an extra zero wasn't added?"
"If this is true, it will cause a major earthquake in the entire automotive industry!"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go see!"
