447: Alpha 6C is nothing more than that
Actually, when Ren Yi first saw this car, he felt that its exterior design, paint, and wheels, compared to his own thor m14, all exuded a sense of cheapness.
Not only was the reflection too strong, but the overall feeling it gave off was one of lifelessness.
Although the car body was also made of carbon fiber, it was clearly mixed with other metal materials to save costs.
This increased the car's weight, limiting its top speed.
And after sitting inside, seeing the dashboard, steering wheel, and other interior furnishings, Ren Yi was a bit stunned.
It was as if it were a product from the last century.
In terms of fashion and intelligence, it was a mess.
Moreover, the seats were not very comfortable; they were clearly made of artificial leather instead of real leather, presumably for environmental or humanitarian reasons.
This greatly lowered the car's quality by several notches.
Thinking of this, Ren Yi had a sudden idea: should thor m14 offer various wild animal leathers for consumers to choose from?
Some wild animals are protected in China, but they are overpopulated abroad, so it would be entirely possible to introduce real wild animal leather seats in accordance with local laws and regulations.
Coupled with features like warmth, breathability, and safety, the seats produced would definitely be very popular.
Watching Ren Yi hesitantly touch things inside, President Mayila thought disdainfully:
"He's really a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world. When the Alpha 6C starts, I just hope he doesn't hit a utility pole, otherwise, I'll definitely make him pay handsomely."
Lin Muwan, Zhu Chao, and others accompanying her naturally guessed something from her expression and immediately felt displeased:
"What's with this broken thing? Just wait until you see our thor m14; it will shock you and let these foreigners know what a top-tier supercar truly is."
At this moment, Ren Yi finished inspecting and started the engine, and the roar was deafening.
It truly startled him.
Because in China, he mostly drives new energy vehicles.
Switching to a high-horsepower fuel car really made him feel a bit unaccustomed.
Stepping on the accelerator, the acceleration was very fast, and the push-back feeling was also very strong.
Ren Yi found the familiar feeling of the past and displayed the driving skills of a ten-year veteran driver.
Several beautiful right-angle turns and parallel parking maneuvers conquered everyone present.
Because everyone present knew that Ren Yi was the General Managers of Fenglei.
Logically speaking, he would always have a driver, so he would have no opportunity to drive.
Unexpectedly, after a test drive, he was so skilled, even with some small maneuvers.
So, President Mayila changed her previous attitude and led the applause.
Although she somewhat looked down on Chinese, she had to admit her admiration for such a professional driving performance.
Seeing President Mayila's attitude do a complete 180-degree turn, Zhu Chao and the others also found it a bit amusing.
It seemed that the so-called pride of people from these developed countries was actually just being cheap.
Unless you show some strength to conquer them, you can't communicate with them properly.
After a few laps, Ren Yi parked the car steadily back in its original position.
Such high-intensity operation was comparable to a Subject Two driving test.
And even before Ren Yi got out of the car, Zhu Chao had already impatiently dived into it.
Although he was annoyed by President Mayila's attitude, he was still very happy to test drive the supercar he had dreamed of.
However, Zhu Chao's start was much worse than Ren Yi's.
It was just an ordinary level, a leisurely start, and 150 mph was the maximum he could reach.
For this professional track and supercar, it was a bit of an overkill.
Therefore, the people around instantly lost interest in his operation.
Ren Yi also began to chat with President Mayila.
"General Managers Ren, how does our 6C compare to your Fenglei's thor m14?" President Mayila asked with some anticipation.
She didn't believe that the motor in a new energy sports car like the thor m14 could run that fast.
And the engine of this Alpha 6C was their company's latest revamped model; compared to before, its 0-60 mph acceleration had improved by 10%.
Although the improvement was not significant, this was the highest improvement among many car engines in recent years.
Generally, if each generation of an engine can improve by 1%, it's already a huge success.
After all, fuel car engine technology has almost reached its limit, and it's extremely difficult to make further progress.
Ren Yi smiled upon hearing this:
"Well, I'd like to ask President Mayila to test drive our thor m14 first before I say anything."
"What??" President Mayila was stunned.
They came to Italy for charging pile business, and they even air-shipped Fenglei's supercar over?
What are they trying to do??
However, after a second thought, she quickly understood.
The General Managers of Fenglei's trip to Alfa Romeo and the specific request to test drive the Alpha 6C.
Their purpose is very likely to promote their own supercar in Europe.
Ren Yi did not explain anything about this; instead, he clapped his hands and confidently asked the staff to drive the car over.
A thor m14, with a full gold paint job and full of technological flair, appeared before everyone.
Seeing the amazed looks of the group of foreigners, Lin Muwan and the other Fenglei personnel were also very proud.
At this moment, a young man with brown hair, dressed in a racing suit, walked over from the crowd.
"Oh my god, this car is too cool, can I test drive it?"
President Mayila looked at him, then at Ren Yi:
"Let me introduce you, this is Andre, our famous F1 professional racer from Italy. He just retired recently and became our company's supercar test-driving expert."
"Oh, so it's Mr. Andre, of course, you can, please feel free to test drive it. It's a good opportunity to get your feedback on our supercar."
Ren Yi shook hands with Andre and readily agreed.
This was why he brought the thor m14 here.
Because Alfa Romeo has a more professional racing track than those in China, the car test data would be more accurate.
thor m14 was planning to launch a new generation, so Ren Yi had the R&D department work overnight to debug one.
Beside him, President Mayila was a bit displeased.
She had wanted to be the first to test drive it, but Andre, who had no sense of observation, suddenly appeared.
However, with her driving skills, she couldn't truly push the thor m14 to its limits, so she wouldn't be able to test the car's true performance.
Now that Andre was here, it was actually perfect.
Andre, on the other hand, was full of anticipation.
Because he had also heard about the thor m14's performance in international supercar competitions and had watched live broadcasts, knowing its exaggerated performance.
It even surpassed the data of F1.
But unfortunately, because the car body did not meet the standards, and Fenglei seemed to have little interest in F1.
There was no way to see it in official competitions.
Now that he had the opportunity to test drive it, how could he miss it?
After getting permission, Andre got in.
