Not to mention the supercar designed for wind pulling and extreme speed, just talk about handling and performance, in fact, many cars are hatchback design.
Let's just say that the three models that have achieved wind results in the New North Circuit are all hatchbacks, which are performance versions designed with Civic, Golf and Megana as prototypes.
Three cars cut through the thorns at the New North Circuit, giving a super car a bow.
In fact, we should think so, although they are all based on prototype cars, why does Volkswagen not use Sagittarius as a prototype car, and Honda does not use a sedan Civic as a prototype car.
Without further ado, look at the picture.
The following is the side view of the Golf and Civic hatchback that I simply found, and simply found the driver's position map, both models have a very obvious feature, at least in the visual perception can be clearly seen, in the structure of the driver's position is the front and rear center point.
In fact, manufacturers have already taken this into account in the design.
In fact, these cars are very sporty positioning, born for control, especially the Civic itself is a sporty product of the car, hatchback is a core essence.
On the one hand, the driver will not affect the weight distribution before and after sitting on it, on the other hand, the driver is the center, the length of the front and back is actually exactly the same, and many hatchbacks are designed in this way.
To find the gap more clearly, I found a comparison between Sagittarius and Civic sedans.
It is obvious that sagittarius driver position is biased towards the front section, and the Civic is also biased towards the front section, which means that the handling is bound to be weaker than their hatchbacks.
In fact, it is not biased towards the front section, but because the appearance of the rear tail elongates the structure of the rear half, resulting in an imbalance between the front and back, and it is difficult to achieve a perfect driving experience because the weight of the front and rear are not the same.
The biggest difference between the sedan and the hatchback is the rear tail, the former has more space, while the streamlined visual impact is better, the trunk can put more things, for Chinese consumers, the sedan looks more like a serious car.
The hatchback was missing the rear rear, and it was clear that there was an inevitable decline in carrying capacity, but in exchange for better handling.
In addition, hatchbacks often have lighter weight than sedans, let's say golf and sagittarius, the two cars in the configuration, power of the same case, golf directly lighter than sagittarius 100kg, want to reduce the sagittarius weight down 100kg is very difficult, the same power system will inevitably accelerate slower, less flexible.
The lighter the weight is better to do, the steering system, the shock absorption system, etc. are easier to optimize, and the convenience brought by the subsequent modification and upgrading is also very obvious.
In fact, in the end, it is a meaning, hatchbacks are born for control, whether it is Fox, Golf, Civic hatchback or Megane, these cars are born to be good at sports, compared with sedans, they are smaller in size and more reasonable in weight ratios, while lighter and more room for modification.
I've seen a lot of people change the Golf to be very good, squeezing the performance to the limit, but rarely see anyone change the Civic to be particularly good, the core is a point, the ceiling level of sedans and hatchbacks, the difference is not an order of magnitude.
