I am farming in the real world

Just the first attempt at pushing the horsepower already exceeded the expectations of the Zotye technicians present regarding the performance of this modified ZT700.

After the group spent the next two days fine-tuning the ECU program for the entire car, the original 1630 horsepower of the stock car was squeezed out by about 30% again, reaching over 2000 horsepower at the wheels!

As for the torque, it also increased to a terrifying level of about 2600 Newton-meters.

You should know that this torque and horsepower can already be compared with the parameter performance of some heavy-duty engineering vehicle diesel engines.

But when such a powerful V8 engine is stuffed into a supercar, one can imagine how terrifying the power it can unleash is.

Of course, in today's supercar circle, the research and development of traditional pure fuel V8 power systems has stopped.

Top experts like Koenigsegg who play with V8s have now launched a Gemera V8 system. The maximum power can reach 2269 horsepower, and the maximum torque is 2750 Newton-meters.

However, they are playing with a hybrid system. The pure V8 fuel engine only provides 1100 horsepower, and the remaining half of the power output is driven by the motor. In essence, it is not a pure fuel power system.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue used MC materials to modify the original engine of the VT700 was also to win back some glory for domestic products in the field of fuel vehicles.

So as not to run out of good results and be ridiculed by those foreign-worshiping dogs, saying that Chinese car companies can only engage in self-entertainment by making electric 'niche cars' that others didn't want 100 years ago.

......

Since the modification of the VT700 was completed, Chen Jue handed over this private car, which had already been pocketed, to Zotye's technical staff for the next few days to further improve the ECU program and fine-tune details such as the bottom card.

After all, in the current professional skin library opened for Iron Puppet, the [Automotive Engineer] has not yet been refreshed. Although the original [Mechanical Engineer] is extremely capable, after opening the skin, each one can be comparable to a national craftsman who grinds nano-level materials by hand, but it still cannot cover these professional tasks involving the combination of automotive and IT fields.

After waiting like this for a week.

Cologne Nürburg, Germany.

The morning mist enveloped this exotic town full of automotive cultural atmosphere. The sun had just risen, and the roar of car engines echoed in the streets and alleys of the town.

As the world's recognized racing mecca, the Nürburgring racetrack receives different models of vehicles from all over the world every day, ranging from hundreds to even thousands on busy days.

Even some large automobile manufacturers, professional racing drivers, and track enthusiasts will choose to stay near the town in order to run as many laps on the Nordschleife as possible in a limited time.

After all, the Nordschleife is the ultimate proving ground for vehicle performance!

The track is 20.81 kilometers long, including 154 corners. The overall design undulates along the mountains, with a maximum vertical drop of 300 meters. To pass the Nordschleife at high speed, there are very high requirements for the vehicle's durability and performance.

It is precisely because of the complexity and variability of the track that the Nordschleife has also won a very hardcore name in the automotive circle, 'The Ring of Truth'.

The meaning is very simple, that is, no matter which car, only by conquering this place and creating a leading record is it equivalent to creating the truth in the automotive world!

In order to conquer the Nordschleife, luxury brands such as Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have set up special test centers in the Nürburgring.

In recent years, domestic new energy vehicles have begun to exert their strength. Domestic car companies, including NIO and BYD, have also sent their proud models to the Nürburgring in recent years to test new energy vehicle technology and incidentally use lap time results as a marketing point when new cars are launched.

However, the Nordschleife has limited carrying capacity after all. In order to cope with events and provide closed road tests for large car companies, it is only open to the public for 2.5 hours during working hours from Monday to Friday.

Only weekends like today are open to the public all day, allowing car enthusiasts who come here to experience it in their beloved cars.

As soon as dawn broke, the various cars parked outside the town's motels on the street began to start one after another.

There are supercars like Ferrari and Lamborghini, as well as performance cars like the BMW M series or Audi S series that are heading to the track.

The parking area outside the track entrance is even more bustling, with personalized modified cars waiting to be lifted and released into the venue.

In addition to vehicles from various EU countries, you can even see many Chinese car critics and domestic cars with Chinese blue and green license plates, who have come all the way to do evaluation and record programs.

As a mecca for the racing world, the Nordschleife itself has its own traffic attributes.

In addition, with the intensive bombardment of short video software such as Douyin and Kuaishou, driving a domestic car across Eurasia to Germany, a car manufacturing powerhouse known for its automotive industry, and letting local car fans see the amazing mobile luxury 'color TV + refrigerator + large sofa', and capturing some 'shocked reactions from foreigners' can easily attract traffic on domestic social media.

This double traffic BUFF superimposed has allowed many domestic car critics to taste the sweetness, and they often sneak over to the Nürburgring to record programs.

As for the vehicles driven by these car critics, they are not their own. Most of them are commercial orders and soft advertisements given by manufacturers who provide funds behind the scenes.

Otherwise, Germany and China are separated by thousands of kilometers. Except for the really idle rich who like to drive around the world, who would be full and drive here for nothing?

"Nana, should you go in and try two laps later? Or should I go first?"

Next to a Porsche 911 with a Guangdong license plate, Wang Jack, a well-known car review program "Speed ​​Partners", was holding a camera to record footage, and chatting with Nana, a hot colleague next to him.

This time, invited by Porsche to come to Germany to record a program, Wang Jack can be said to have used all his skills. After racking his brains with his colleagues in the program team, he came up with the idea of ​​transporting this domestic Porsche 911 to its place of origin to run the Nürburgring.

This kind of program creativity can not only highlight Porsche's long racing history and culture, but also take advantage of the Nürburgring's popularity. When this video is edited and released, Wang Jack can guarantee that it will definitely have tens of millions of views.

As for his colleague Nana, she was a little absent-minded at the moment, and curiously pointed to a Xiaomi team in the corner of the parking area and said: "Wang Jack, look quickly! It's Xiaomi's SU7 Ultra!"

Being able to meet the test team of a domestic manufacturer in the racing mecca, the several UP masters and photography team of the "Speed ​​Partners" program team were very excited.

In addition to the feeling of meeting old friends in a foreign land, the news that Xiaomi SU7 Ultra models were testing lap times at the Nürburgring had already been all over the domestic car review circles a few months ago.

Being able to film the actual car undergoing testing at the Nürburgring at close range is also a kind of fate.

After all, Nana herself is one of the first owners of Xiaomi's SU7, and has also posted several related evaluation videos on her program channel.

Wang Jack was reminded by Nana, and his eyes were also attracted by the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra with camouflage clothing.

"Xiaomi's SU7 has been selling like crazy recently. I wonder what the price of this Ultra is."

"Lei Bu personally brought the team over for testing, so he should be able to run a good lap time!" Wang Jack murmured.

He plans to find time to visit Lei Bu after his program is finished.

Newcomers to the car circle like Lei Bu generally offer good commercial treatment for car critics. It's definitely no problem to build more friendships.

Including many foreign car fans in the parking area, they couldn't help but take pictures after seeing the disguised Xiaomi SU7 Ultra.

No way!

Who let domestic new energy become popular all over the world?

Just in the first three quarters of 2024, more than 10 million new energy vehicles were exported. Currently, foreign consumers all give a thumbs up when mentioning Chinese cars.

After all, foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures. Domestic cars that are looked down upon by Chinese people have become high-end imported cars when they arrive abroad.

In addition, in addition to making cars, Xiaomi's electronic products are sold all over the world. The single mi logo is enough to attract attention.

However, just as the attention of everyone in the Nürburgring parking area was attracted by Xiaomi's team.

A freight truck towing a container slowly drove in from outside the parking area, followed by a dozen MPVs and other vans, and the technicians in silver-gray uniforms who got off the bus immediately stole the limelight from Xiaomi's team for the time being.

"What? Another Chinese technology team?"

"When will the Nürburgring become the world of Chinese car companies!"

"Z? What brand is this?"

"I don't know! I heard that Chinese car companies are very competitive, and new brands are emerging one after another. Looking at the configuration of this team, it seems to be very strong, with so many technicians and equipment."

The foreign car fans were talking about it.

On the other hand, the several UP masters on the "Speed ​​Partners" program team, after seeing the car company LOGO on these newly arrived technicians, each of them stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in disbelief: "Damn! Zhong... Zotye!"

"Why is Zotye also here at the Nürburgring?"
