The performance cars in 2021 are too expensive, what civilian performance cars are there in 2022?
As 2021 passes, we have taken stock of the new cars that are worth buying in 2021 for those who want to change cars at the beginning of the year to do some reference, but after doing so many inventory of new cars in 2021, we have found that those high-performance cars released in 2021 are almost unattainable models for ordinary consumers, such as Ferrari's 296 GTB, Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS, McLaren Artura, Lotus Emiira and so on.
These million-dollar luxury cars are indeed not models acceptable to ordinary consumers such as you and me, and among the high-performance new cars released in 2022, there are some civilian supercar appearances.
Toyota GR 86
With the end of last year, the new generation of BRZ was booked in China, which also indicates that the new GR86 is also about to be released in China, as a model jointly developed by the two brands, BRZ has determined that the first batch of models in China has only passed the emission policy of China VI A, and the China VI B region will not be able to be on the plate normally.
At present, the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou regions that have implemented the National VIB are the largest consumer market for BRZ models, so if Toyota wants to further expand the 86 market in China, then installing a particle trap in China may be the easiest way.
Although after installing the particle trap, you need to re-brush the computer and a series of operations, but for a model like 86 that is a half-car, there is no 86 owner who does not modify, so since it has to be modified, then no one cares what its original factory looks like, after being able to play in the normal channel, the rest will be handed over to the owners to play on their own.
The new GR 86 finally increased the displacement, from the former 86 * 86 cylinder bore to 86 * 96 bore, from 2.0L displacement to 2.4L, but also increased the power from 200 to 235 horses, but also increased the rigidity of the body and reduced the center of gravity of the vehicle, this series of changes, undoubtedly let this civilian supercar have more flexible control and faster speed.
The most exciting thing for potential GR86 consumers is that gr86 has not significantly increased the wheelbase because of the replacement, only increased from 2570mm to 2575mm, which is a very difficult thing, to know how rare it is to find a pure short-wheelbase sports car, it can be seen that Akio Toyoda, the president of the real car, really understands what fans want.
But because the displacement has increased, so after entering China, the increase in the displacement tax will also make its terminal price increase a lot compared to the previous generation of models, and due to Toyota's usual hunger marketing in recent years, the dealer price increase behavior has been seen in Toyota, so gr86 whether the civilian sports car can be sold at a civilian price, it depends on the price increase of each dealer, according to the Japanese pricing rules, The starting price of the next-generation GR86 is set at 300,000, which is a sure thing.
Honda Civic Type-R
For the Civic, the former Civic si is the dream of how many people can't buy type-R, and now after the official release of the eleventh generation of Civic, the spy photos of the Type-R version of the model Test of the Japanese Suzuka Circuit have made Type-R fans excited, and then a Dongfeng Honda Civic Type-R order has made domestic fans completely crazy.
The new Generation Civic Type-R will be officially unveiled at the Tokyo Modification Exhibition on January 14, and the Type-R, based on the hatchback Civic, has not only become more athletic in appearance, but also has enough articles on the output horsepower of the engine.
There are currently two kinds of gossip, the first of which says that the new Civic Type-R will be equipped with a 2.0T engine and will output more than 310 horsepower. The second message says the Civic Type-R will be equipped with a hybrid powertrain that outputs more than 400 horses.
As for which of these two messages is more reliable, it is not known, but it is certain that the new Civic Type-R will only be available in manual models, and MT's happiness is back.
In addition, the new Civic Type-R will also be equipped with Brembo foundry calipers and Michelin PS4 tires, plus an exaggerated spoiler at the rear and a tail wing, making it the focus of the road all the time.
For Type-R, the former New North Pioneer King name is still loud, and now there are many car owners in China who have modified their hatchback Civic into the shape of Type-R to meet the dream of not really owning a Type-R. And now this shouldering faith model is about to be introduced into China, I believe that true love fans have been waiting for a long time, and for Honda, this introduction is also a huge risk, after all, in the current era of electric dominance, it still takes a lot of courage to introduce such a high-performance car into China.
BMW M240i
When talking about the GR86, I said that it is not easy for a sports car to maintain the original wheelbase after the replacement, well, the implication is bmw's new generation M240i.
At the Guangzhou Auto Show at the end of last year, BMW unveiled a new generation of 2 Series Coupe, and the M240i's shape is basically the same as the 225i, but in some details, the M240i will look more sporty.
But the M240i has a 3.0T in-line six-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive system, so that the two cars have an almost earth-shaking gap, in the overseas has been the M240i real car test media, some people will be the new M240i and the previous generation of manual M2 M2 made the same comparison, the result is whether in the static start, or dynamic acceleration performance, the performance of the new generation M240i is crushing better than the previous generation M2.
And in the dynamic driving part, the foreign media host also said that the tolerance of the new generation of M240i is much higher than that of the previous generation M2, and because the new generation of M240i has more technology configuration, it is also good enough in daily driving.
That is to say, the new generation of BMW M240i has a more powerful power output performance than the previous generation of M2, and the four-wheel drive system can also allow more people to easily control the performance toy produced by BMW, while the district automatic air conditioning, rain sensor wipers, usual display system, Harman Kardon sound system, frontal collision warning, speed limit information warning, lane departure warning and other functions are added, making it also more competent for daily driving.
According to BMW's product planning cycle, the new generation of M240i will be officially unveiled in China in the third quarter or at the end of the year, and the higher performance M2 may have to wait until next year. But for BMW's performance fans, the next-generation M2 may be equipped with S58 engines and MT and 7DCT versions, which the M240i does not have.
Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 (not determined)
Mercedes-Benz's determination to electrify the transformation is the most determined of the three BBA families, and having determination is not a bad thing, but if you instantly turn a 4.0 V8 C63 into a 2.0 L4 C63, I don't know how many people can accept it?
The former W204 C63 from 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 to the current 4.0T V8, although there is no large displacement of natural suction of the bottom, but the good villain can also be regarded as the displacement of two turbines, but now with the displacement of 2.0L in exchange for a set of electrical systems, although the reduction of the number of engine cylinders makes the front of the car become less heavy, the quality of the vehicle has also dropped significantly, and the fuel consumption has also dropped dramatically.
But in the era when RS4 and M3 were 2.9T and 3.0T, C63 dominated the background story with a displacement of 6.2L, so that the former displacement overlord took the lead in surrendering, and under the premise that RS4 and M3 were still insisting on using 2.9T and 3.0T, C63 actually adopted a set of 2.0T + hybrid powertrains, which was really a bit of a sigh.
But if, as the rumor goes, the next-generation C63 will use the same 2.0T engine as the A45, then I think the price of the current used C63 may be even more outrageous than the price of the Mitsubishi EVO.
BMW M3 Touring (not determined)
Since the beginning of last year, it has been rumored that the M3 travel version will be launched, BMW's travel version fans have begun to collectively excited, and at the end of last year, it was rumored that it would be introduced into China in a limited quantity, and many people made a blind deposit.
At present, the latest 3 series travel that can be bought in the Chinese market is still the 3 series of F31, and the introduction of this M3 trip is also a head-on duel between BMW and RS4 and C43 travel, but considering the price of the current M3 900,000, the price of M3 travel may exceed the 1 million mark, coupled with the domestic niche wagon market, the price increase may be a nail in the coffin.
But for the M3 car series, this is the first time bmw has launched a travel version of the M3 model, so for many Bimmers, the M3 travel version may have some collectible value, but in any case, the addition of M3 travel can stimulate the development of the domestic station wagon market to a certain extent.
summary:
For China, high-performance cars are always a niche market, but for the development of China's automobile culture in recent years, more and more people have begun to contact the racing culture, have their own cognition of performance cars, and with the increasing income, buying a performance car like GR86 is not a fantasy, so these performance doors in 2022, which one do you look at?
