With the successful conclusion of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games and the grand opening of the Winter Paralympic Games, many Chinese people have felt the charm of ice and snow sports, and even want to try this kind of sports themselves. It's Women's Day, and it might be a good time to buy a car. However, in the face of the automotive industry that is constantly introducing new models, it is inevitable to pick and choose. To this end, Xiaobian brought several sports cars, will there be any one you like? Let's take a look.
Shadow Leopard - has a fighter model
When it comes to sports cars, the first thing that Xiaobian thinks of is the shadow leopard, after all, the appearance alone is very "sporty", and the official guidance price is 983-128,000 yuan, which is close to the people.
And in today's era of valuing appearance, a good-looking leather bag has brought a good heat to the shadow leopard. First of all, this model is based on the GPMA modular platform, which incorporates sharp design elements in detail. The two very conspicuous polygonal grilles and bright colored wheels in the middle mesh part look like a "Nissan GT-R" at first glance. At the same time, in order to further cater to the aesthetics of young people, Shadow Leopard has incorporated carbon fiber grain and contrast design in the front and rear bumpers and multiple places of the body. In addition, the 1432mm ultra-low car height makes the focus of the vehicle low, and the 0.26cd wind resistance coefficient is very in line with the positioning of its movement.
In terms of interior, it adopts a classic sports car pattern, and the overall design is surrounded. The three-frame steering wheel, combined with the aircraft-operated shift, further stimulates the urge to fly. In terms of intelligent configuration, Shadow Leopard has also added super sense intelligence, including gesture recognition, facial recognition, speech recognition and other functions. There is also an ecosystem of intelligent driving interconnection in the car, which integrates AI voice and iFLYTEK ecological fan entertainment system.
In terms of power, it is equipped with the new Julang Power 3rd generation 1.5T GDI engine, which is equipped with a 7-speed high-efficiency wet dual-clutch transmission. The maximum power is 130 kW, the maximum torque is 270 N·m, and the acceleration time is 6.95 seconds from 100 km/h. For driving safety, Shadow Leopard also provides FCW front collision warning, AEB active braking system and AEB-P pedestrian identification and protection.
UNI-V – with a futuristic sense of technology
In addition to shadow leopard, Changan UNI-V also seems to have been favored by many consumers. In order to open up the young market, the UNI sequence can be said to have received special "care" from Changan, with sales of 12,047 units in January this year. The UNI-V, as the first sedan in the series, is also labeled sports.
Stylistically, UNI-V inherits a family-style design style, with an iconic borderless front grille with a trapezoidal silhouette. As a sport-oriented model, the front surround also uses a large number of aerodynamic elements, coupled with the short front suspension, short rear suspension of the back coupe design, the overall sense of sport. But for most young consumers, this doesn't seem handsome enough, so Changan equipped the UNI-V with an electric lift rear tail.
When you come to the interior, you will find that it is very similar to the center console shape of UNI-K, and it adopts a layered design. According to the editor's understanding, UNI-V is a pioneer work under the Ark architecture, carrying the new car-making concept of Changan Automobile's R&D 4.0 era, and has also won the honor of "2021 China's Top Ten Car Bodies". Moreover, under the trend of intelligent cockpit, Changan UNI-V applies the design of "3+1" quadruple screen. Not only that, but it is also equipped with iFLYTEK's latest voice interaction system, which can realize cross-scene recognition.
With the promotion of the "double carbon" policy, mainland car companies have fulfilled their corresponding obligations in energy conservation and emission reduction. In the face of an important turning point, Changan Automobile insists on continuously upgrading technology on the basis of fuel vehicles. It is reported that the new generation of Ark architecture products will be equipped with a blue whale powertrain. The UNI-V is one of the masterpieces of this architecture, so the car is equipped with a Blue Whale NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine and a 7-speed DCT transmission. From the data point of view, the maximum power of the engine is 138 kW, the maximum torque is 300 N·m, and the acceleration time of 100 km/h can be shortened by up to 24%.
Lynk & Co 03 – has track DNA
When it comes to sports, the track seems to be an unavoidable topic. On November 28 last year, Lynk & Co won the Team of the Year and Drivers' Double Titles, becoming the first triple crown in the WTCR Touring Car World Cup. So, as the blue model of the champion chariot, does the Lynk & Co 03 fit the sports model you have in mind?
First of all, Lynk & Co 03 comes from the modular architecture of Lynk & Co's CMA, thanks to the technical advantages of the matrix, its genes have a sense of movement. In terms of design, Lynk & Co 03 continues the family design of dual forward grilles and split headlights, while adopting the concept of aerodynamics, and the lines of the vehicle look sharp and smooth.
In terms of interior, it also adopts the same model as the Shadow Leopard - the wrap-around design, which may be the universality of sports models. On this basis, the Lynk & Co 03 also adds Nubuck turret and leather double-piece materials, while the multi-functional D-shaped sports steering wheel and track swing outlet are full of sports atmosphere.
Of course, sports cars are not limited to appearance, so Lynk & Co 03 directly arranges 2 kinds of power to meet different consumers. Among them, the model equipped with the Drive-E series 1.5TD engine and the 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission has a maximum power of 132 kW and a maximum torque of 265 N·m, which can accelerate by 7.9 seconds from 100 km/h; while the other version is equipped with a 2.0TD turbocharged engine and a 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of kW, a maximum torque of 300 N·m, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 7.4 seconds.
Eleventh Generation Civic – with a sporty aesthetic
In the sports car circle, the Civic occupies a certain position. Previously, when Shadow Leopard was first launched, many netizens said that it could challenge the status of Civic. But the data says that Civic's status is still difficult to shake. Taking january sales this year, the Civic sold more than 16,000 vehicles, an increase of 118% year-on-year, while the sales of Shadow Leopard were not announced.
Back to the product itself, the eleventh generation Civic front face adopts a three-point heat dissipation opening design. The narrow grille, honeycomb mesh and lower raised bumper are superimposed on top of each other, which is still very visually impactful. The waist line on the side of the body runs from the front to the rear tail lights, which has a mutual reflection effect with the C-pillar, and the design of the small tail wing is very "powder-absorbing". What's more, the Eleventh Generation Civic offers more sporty kits, including accessories such as pure black wheels, shark fins, and sporting ducktails.
Inside, the steering wheel and details are stitched in bright red leather. In addition, Honda has also installed the Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system on the 11th generation Civic for the first time. Not only has it integrated many advanced features such as 4G network connection, but also upgraded the UI interface. In terms of power, the eleventh generation Civic is equipped with a new 240TURBO turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 134 kW and a maximum torque of 240 N·m.
Automotive Network Review: Women can also drive sports cars
"I don't look like a boy, because sports also belong to girls", this sentence comes from "genius girl" Gu Ailing. Indeed, in extreme sports, racing and other activities, there are few women, even when buying a car, most of the recommended for women are cute styles, such as Euler good cat, zero-run T03 and other models. But Xiaobian feels that women can also control sporty, cool models. In fact, within 200,000 yuan of sports models, Shadow Leopard, UNI-V, Lynk & Co 03 and Civic are all good choices. Finally, which car is your favorite?
