In fact, it is not only Nathan, vice president of General Motors, but even most domestic netizens questioned what confidence does Xinghai Group have in its future 01 and future 02, which are produced by Xinghai Group, have to sell 20 to 30 million yuan per vehicle.
This price has subverted their perception of Chinese-made brands of cars. If they sell for several million, they can still accept it. After all, Hummer EV pre-sales are in the forefront.
But selling 30 to 40 million yuan per car is not a false price, but a bulk car price. Who would be the sucker?
In this era, Koenigsegg ONE and Lamborghini poison will not be released until next year.
Aston Martin one-77 has been produced, with a landing price of 40 to 50 million in China, but the overseas price is only 1.34 million euros, with a maximum power of 760 horsepower and a maximum speed of 354km/h. Comparing the future 02's promo parameters, it is still
There is quite a difference.
The domestic landing price of Bugatti Veyron is tens of millions of yuan, and the overseas performance version is less than 2 million US dollars. The maximum horsepower of this car exceeds 1,000 horsepower, the maximum speed can reach 430km/h, and the acceleration from 100 kilometers is only 2.5 seconds.
The maximum horsepower of the future 02 is not as good as the Bugatti Veyron, but it is still slightly better in terms of acceleration time of 100 kilometers.
In terms of technology, Bugatti Veyron and Aston Martin one-77 are definitely not comparable to the future of Xinghai Group.
However, Chinese people still have a low traditional awareness of domestic cars and cannot accept domestic cars that cost only 20 to 30 million yuan.
Now, Xinghai Group wants to break the traditional concepts of the Chinese people.
Netizens across the country are very curious whether it can be done.
At 9 o'clock in the morning of October 25, Xinghai Group invited various automobile media and mainstream media, as well as hundreds of automobile car reviewers to conduct public test sample cars at the test drive base opposite the Xinghai Group headquarters base.
The purpose of Xinghai Group's move is mainly for publicity. Before, Xinghai Group has undergone multiple rounds of testing. This time, this public publicity is to instill in the reality that domestic cars are also awesome, and to preheat for pre-sales.
If you go public without publicity, the sales effect will definitely be much worse.
Xinghai Group wants to create a butterfly effect after the future 01 and future 02 are speculated, causing sales fire and overturning the question of car reviewers.
To do this, the best way is to test it on site, allowing media and car reviewers to watch it on site.
Before the test began, the test project announced by Xinghai Group aroused the curiosity and shock of the media and car reviewers.
Conventional acceleration power performance tests of 100 kilometers, vibration and noise tests, braking performance tests, rolling tests and autonomous driving tests, these test items are relatively traditional.
However, after a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, fly down from a height of four meters, drive through 3 meters of water-deep water sealing performance test, and soak for about 5 minutes, hit several SUVs and obstacle stones at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and pass through 30 meters of gasoline fire
It feels too incredible when testing the road and waiting for the test, and it is no longer within the scope of the car testing.
No car company has conducted such experiments, and it is actually driving in real people.
“What? Sensational?”
"NO, it's not about giving up on face."
Dozens of media, hundreds of reporters and hundreds of car reviewers gathered at Xinghai Group’s test drive base.
As soon as ten o'clock arrives, the two drivers wear helmets to start the future 01 and future 02.
The first item is a speed-up test.
The runway is seven or eight hundred meters away, but it can't actually run that far.
According to formula V=at and s=1/2at2.
If the acceleration is fixed, it only takes 2 seconds to accelerate to 100 times in the future. When it accelerates to 100 times, it only takes 100 meters.
If it is an ordinary car that takes 8 seconds to accelerate from 000 to 100 times, it will require 370 meters to be run.
Of course, the acceleration of a car is not fixed. After accelerating to a certain speed, the acceleration will drop rapidly. It has a peak value. No matter how much it is added, it can only run so fast.
After three tests, the fastest acceleration of 01 in the future is 2.03 seconds, 2.13 seconds and 2.01 seconds, which is not much different from the theoretical value;
The fastest acceleration of 000 in the future is 2.33 seconds, 2.29 seconds and 2.42 seconds respectively.
"Wow, we are moving forward together, but in the end, the future 01 is slightly better, with a thousand horsepower, which is too big."
"WC, this acceleration is really strong!"
"The sound of starting at 02 in the future is not loud, but the acceleration is exaggerated."
The speed of the two cars shocked the audience, and few sports cars can compare with Future 01 and Future 02.
Moreover, after the test, the tires were not severely burned and no abnormalities were found in the car.
The second test, vibration and noise test, will directly beat Rousleis in the future.
Rolles has always been proud of its anti-vibration performance, but in the future, it will show more static and stable performance.
The third test is the braking performance test, which mainly takes time from a speed of 100 brakes to zero. The performance of 01 and 02 in the future is not much different from that of millions of cars.
The fourth test, the rolling test was a side rolling speed of 60 kilometers per hour. After the two cars tested, no problem of parts being disintegrated was found.
However, the rearview mirror of the future 02 is still bent, that is, when rolling on the side, the left rearview mirror contacts the entire body.
After the inspection of the two cars, no major problems occurred. The body paint was scratched, but the sheet metal was not sunken, the glass was not broken, the door was not bent, it opened normally, and the electronics started and operated normally.
The test has shocked media reporters and car reviewers who are familiar with the industry.
The traditional test is completed at 10:30 in the morning. Next, it is an unconventional test, ready to start a speed of 80 kilometers and then fly down from a height of four meters.
"A car with such a heavy height is not low speed, and it is easy to break the shaft."
"If it is a general new energy vehicle, if the height falls, there will be problems with the battery."
"Xinghai Group has a battery test report, and it is fine to fall vertically for three or four meters. What's more, the battery pack does not directly touch the ground when the car flies four meters high, but mainly depends on the suspension and axle performance."
Media reporters and car commentators were talking about it. The driver did not change the car and directly tested the first item and flew down at a height of four meters.
"Bang!"
As the Future 01 flew from the four-meter high to the ground, the moment the front tire touched the ground, dust rose up on the concrete ground, and a loud bang, the audience thought there was something wrong with the car, but as a result, the car continued to move forward, and then
The brakes are stormed and turned around.
The future 01 test is completed, and the future 02 will continue to test.
I stopped checking for more than ten minutes and the car was not damaged. The chassis in the future was relatively low. When flying from a high place into the ground, the front bumper rubbed on the ground, causing the paint surface to be damaged.
The wading test is also a test that makes media reporters very curious.
"Are Future 01 and Future 02 amphibious vehicles?"
"This is a bit exaggerated. No matter what the subsequent test is like, the previous test results have already reflected the awesomeness of the future cars."
A pool with a depth of 3 meters, width of 6 meters and length of about 20 meters was built in the test site. The water was clear and clear. When the future 02 drove into the pool, the audience gathered around the pool were very curious and wondered if it would leak into the car.
.
Future 01 is a plug-in hybrid, with an exhaust pipe. When driving in water, you can only turn on the pure electric mode, then turn on the wading mode, and close the exhaust pipe.
When the car was completely immersed in water, the power supply was not turned off.
Time passed by, and media reporters took photos by the pool.
Soak for about five minutes before making it come out;
Then, Future 02 will drive directly into the pool for testing.
After another ten minutes of inspection, I found that there was no problem with the circuit.
Media reporters can also see that the sealing properties of the Future 01 and Future 02 cars are very good at five doors and one cover. Even if the circuit wires that have to be exposed are made of high-temperature resistant insulation materials.
Just now, two cars rolled and fell down at a height of four meters. If it was normal, the car would definitely be deformed and would definitely have an impact on the seal.
However, Future 01 and Future 02 are particularly resistant to falling, but there is scratching and the structure is not damaged.
Even if the rearview mirror that was bent just now in 02 is just bent, and there is no damage, so there is no water inlet.
"These two cars are not afraid of soaking in water at all. Even if there is a river ahead, you can still drive over."
"Of course, in the wading mode, the air conditioner cannot be turned on to ventilate, nor can the car doors and windows be opened."
The subsequent collision test also shocked the media reporters.
I saw the driver driving the Future 01, at a speed of about fifty or sixty per hour, and directly hitting SUVs.
The several SUVs that were hit were broken like those from Zhihu. On the other hand, the Future 01 looks like there is no problem at all.
Then, Future 02 also staged a collision performance, with super-power knocking the SUV away.
I was not satisfied after hitting the car, so I even collided with hundreds of kilograms of stones.
Finally, he passed through the thirty-meter-long gasoline fire road at a speed of fifty or sixty per hour.
The two cars were tested, the car body was cleaned, and then the car body was checked for damage.
Future 01 will be nothing serious, the paint surface is scratched;
In the future, due to the thin sheet metal and slightly deformed front cover, the paint surface is also scratched more, so it can also drive normally.
"The future bunker is here!"
"What a chariot of the future!"
"This is the car I want most. It looks beautiful and is not afraid of being hit. The dummy on the co-pilot also did not cause any damage. The buffering was done very well."
"It's a pity that it's too expensive. The cheapest future 02 price will cost 25 million yuan, and you have to add a lot of money after completing the procedures."
Media reporters said that there is no problem with the performance of the car in all aspects, which is more exaggerated than they imagined. It is just that price, so it’s fine if you don’t say it.
In short, I have no objection to Xinghai Group's cars, except for the price, but no matter how it is reduced, it is not affordable for ordinary people.
If you compare cars worth tens of millions of dollars, it feels that Future 01 and Future 02 are not expensive to sell. Aerospace titanium alloy materials are widely used, and the cost of optical materials is nearly one million yuan, and it is a material that cannot be bought for money.
The future car can be called a "future tank" and is worthy of its name.
However, the project leader said in an interview: "There is still something that needs improvement in the future, and it is more water wading. We hope that in the future, it can truly drive in the water."
Media reporters were puzzled: "The future is already better than any car on the market, and Xinghai Group has done a very good job."
“No, our goal is the future, not the past.”
On the same day, media reporters reported on the test of Xinghai Group's future cars.
"The Future: Come and fight if you don't accept it!"
"Future tanks, can be hit or wade"
"Mobile bunkers, comparable to tanks, worth a lifetime of possession"
"Our goal is the future, not the past"
"Domestic brand cars finally rise!"
Media reports and car reviewers are different from the questions before the test, but instead praise Future 01 and Future 02, claiming to be the most powerful car in the world.
When netizens saw media reports, they all praised them one by one, and thought it was a soft article made by Xinghai Group. They didn't believe the facts until they saw the test video. It was really awesome and very perverted bulletproof car.
This time, the test did not test the bulletproof performance, but Xinghai Group announced the bulletproof performance parameters. Although there were doubts, it still believed it to be seven or eight points.
"My dream car, future 02!"
"The future 02 of the sports car looks very good. I hope it can produce a normal performance version, which will be sold for several million yuan, but I still hope to buy one."
"I guess Xinghai Group will not release a normal performance version, which will destroy this brand in the future."
"China finally has its own top sports car, beating all sports cars on the market."
The test video of Xinghai Group was also spread to overseas video websites, which also caused shock. Overseas tycoons said they could buy it.
On October 27, Xinghai Group announced the pre-sale time for Future 01 and Future 02: January 1, 2013.
As for the delivery of new cars, it only takes three months to wait after placing an order.
When the Qinfen of Shencheng saw the test video of Future 02, he instantly felt that the Hummer EV he bought before was no longer good, and the dozen sports cars at home were really not of high quality.
The future price of 02 is RMB 25 million?
purchase!
For him, money is not a problem, but whether he can get the most out of money.
He called an acquaintance at the Shanghai Auto Show to ask when he could buy it, or if he could make a reservation after New Year's Day. He had to get a car, and it would be April at the earliest.
Of course, he hopes that Xinghai Group will launch a bulletproof version of Hummer EV, and it is so cool to drive the car.
In domestic and foreign media, Future 01 and Future 02 were praised. General Vice President Nathan was interviewed and said: "I have never seen the relevant videos, so I don't really believe it."
In fact, he had already watched the video, but he just refused to admit that he had watched it.
Media reporters wanted to show Nathan a video, but Nathan said that he was very busy with work and had no time to pay attention to these things, and then left in a sloppy manner.
In fact, everyone just treats it as a joke. After all, no matter who it is, they would not be optimistic about Xinghai Group's future 01 and future 02 before, and the selling price is so outrageous.
However, after the test video was released, the car reviewer felt that the price was reasonable. After all, it mainly depends on whether the customer thinks it is worth it.
All the results will ultimately depend on the pre-sale situation on New Year’s Day.
The future competitive car brand of 01 is mainly Rolles, but it is not a competitor, and the prices of the two are too different.
Since 2003, Rolles has been taken over by BMW. Now that the birth of 01 in the future will have some impact on Rolles.
In any case, the reputation of Future 01 and Future 02 spread from abroad to abroad in this test.
Time passes quietly like flowing water.
On November 11, this special day.
This day is the happiest day for single employees of Xinghai Group, and Xinghai Group held a party as scheduled.
Xinghai Group holds three parties every year. The bachelors in H City are very upset. The good women's resources in their units are stolen by Xinghai Group.
Now, the bachelor of Xinghai Group is a popular among women in various public institutions in H City.
For example, company employees Li Chuang and Wang Fang met on Double Eleven, and now they are married.
On this day, Mu Yang received an email from John, saying that Hummer EV had completed the mass production task and had already stored 100 cars and could start delivering new cars at any time. The monthly output is expected to reach 6,000, and it is expected to reach 7,000 vehicles.
.
Hummer Company has achieved this capacity after equipment expansion. Now John means to start delivering new cars. If there is no problem with customers using it, a new round of new car reservations will be started in one or two months.
The expanded factory is still under construction, and it will take until mid-next year to produce it normally.
Mu Yang replied: "Agree."
Starting from November 12, Xinghai Hummer Company has delivered the new car in advance, and the prospective owners who received the phone call to get the new car were very excited.
Finally, I can get a new car!
Waiting for a car is a very difficult process. Many prospective car owners have given up waiting for Hummer EV and purchased other brands of cars.
As for selecting numbers, they are also very valuable, and there are a lot of people who want to select numbers.
You cannot trade when choosing a number, but after buying a new car, you can trade it and make a lot of money.
Or, after the Hummer EV arrives, sell the car you just bought and lose a little.
Gabriel of NY is one of the prospective owners. At nine o'clock in the morning on November 12, he was notified that the new car was arrived.
“What?My new car?”
"WO, I'll come here right now!"
The customer service call surprised him, so he asked for leave to pick up the car.
I came to the Hummer EV store in NY City, reported my name, took out my mobile APP, logged in, showed the staff the order situation, and took out the car order agreement.
A few hours later, Gabriel excitedly drove his new car onto the road, scrambling around the highway before returning to the company.
There were many prospective car owners as excited as Gabriel. On the first day, Hummer distributed a total of 100 cars.
In the following days, prospective car owners have successively obtained new cars and posted their experience of using new cars, with unanimous praise.
The use of Hummer EV is well received, and car companies have increased their attention to the permanent magnet synchronous motors, ternary lithium batteries and other components independently developed by Xinghai Group, which has driven the sales of Xinghai Group's permanent magnet synchronous motors and ternary lithium batteries.
This sales effect was something Mu Yang had expected long ago. He had developed and produced Future 01 and Future 02 before, not trying to sell cars. His main target market is ternary lithium batteries, bulletproof glass, automotive aluminum alloys, permanent magnet motors,
Car system, etc.
Future 01 and Future 02 are selling at high prices, so they can’t sell many cars. It’s a lot to sell one or two hundred cars a year.
The delivery of Hummer EV's new car has also accelerated the financing efficiency of Xinghai New Energy Technology Company. The partners who signed the agreement have all paid money and will no longer delay it until New Year's Day.
On November 20, Xinghai Group's layout in new energy lithium batteries was truly completed, and it established its absolute dominance in the lithium battery industry.
Diwang did not sell lithium batteries in the past few years, but it ended up with Ningde Times.
In the future, Ningde Times will have a market share of 63% in 2022.
For car companies, it is very unhappy to see this situation. Many new energy vehicle owners complain that we are building cars?
No!
We are working for Ningde times!
The cost of a new energy vehicle's lithium battery reaches more than 30%, or even 55%, which is not what it means to work for Ningde Times.
This also led Tesla to want to produce lithium batteries by itself. Many car companies began to develop lithium batteries, hoping to break the monopoly position of Ningde Times.
Now, Xinghai Group no longer makes the mistake of Ningde Times, and directly unites various car companies to give them part of their shares.
Xinghai Group is not afraid of these car companies making their own lithium batteries. The problem is that they can only buy upstream resources.
Even if you can buy resources, the manufacturing cost will be much higher. Moreover, the technology is not as good as buying Xinghai Group's lithium batteries, and in the end it is better to buy Xinghai Group's.
Chapter completed!
