Where does the extraordinary driving experience of the Champions Home Driving Control Peak丨 Peugeot 508L come from?

This is the high praise of the Peugeot 508L by two top domestic champion drivers, Liu Zexuan and Cui Yue, after experiencing the Shanghai Tianma Circuit. The Peugeot 508L not only became the fastest B-class car in the Pegasus Circuit Lap Chart with a lap time of 1 minute and 22 seconds in the three tests of the track, and staged the peak of driving control at the championship home.

Previously, the Peugeot 508L won the comprehensive championship of the car group in the 2021 China Automobile Ice and Snow Challenge, which is known as the "Automobile Winter Olympics". So what exactly makes the Peugeot 508L's champion driver? Let's decipher the extraordinary features of TA.

The ultimate pursuit of driving control stems from the century-old track gene

When a champion driver meets a "winner" of a champion car, the genes of excellence are similar. As professional racers, the two drivers have won many honors in various professional car races: Liu Zexuan has won the 2018 China Supercar Championship Annual Champion, formula 4 Driver's Cup 2021 overall runner-up and many other event awards; Cui Yue is the first Chinese driver to win two championships in the single weekend of PCCA, and has won the 2016 China Touring Car Championship Shanghai Championship, the 2019 China Supercar Championship Shanghai Championship and other honorary Peugeot Peugeot 508L in the harvest" After the Ice and Snow Challenge All-Around Champion, he lived up to expectations in the track experience and completed various challenges efficiently, which was evaluated by the two champion drivers as "fast and stable, and definitely the ceiling of B-class car driving control".

In the eyes of the two champion drivers, the ultimate driving performance on the Peugeot 508L stems from the champion gene of the Peugeot Centennial Circuit. As a world-renowned "sports family" Peugeot family that has inherited more than 120 years of track champion genes, from winning the first and second runners-up of the "24 Hours of Le Mans" to winning 7 of the "Dakar Rally" in 8 battles, it has achieved Peugeot's well-known driving control.

Relying on Peugeot's centennial events, thousands of big data accumulation and chassis tuning optimization, as well as several years of disc stability verification, the driving compactness and driving stability have been continuously improved, resulting in peugeot's proud CLDR master chassis tuning. Six rounds of complete chassis tuning and four fine tunings to optimize the vehicle's handling and balance make the Peugeot 508L have a level of chassis tuning that exceeds the same level, and is more adapted to the excellent performance of the track to give the champion drivers a more intuitive driving experience.

The championship drivers were also impressed by the small size steering wheel that was also passed down from the track, and for the rapidly changing track driving scene, the small size racing wheel ensures that the driver has effective control over the body. For consumers, the layered design concept of the i-Cockpit all-sensory cockpit effectively layers the line of sight area and the control area, and the eyes can view the driving status of the vehicle without removing the road surface when driving, and can achieve "eyes without leaving the road, hands without leaving the plate". The 32cm diameter multi-function racing steering wheel, the 10-inch central touch screen and the 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel form a golden triangle, which is controlled by one arm. Equipped with a "track weapon" such as a small-size racing wheel on a B-class car, peugeot's innate track genes can be seen.

Hardcore performance + leapfrog configuration, enjoy the extraordinary driving control of the integration of people and vehicles

The track is the king, and the streets off the field are galloping. After driving the Peugeot 508L to complete the three tests of high-speed straight-line piling, racing curve routing, and all-round lap challenge, the two champion drivers called the driving feeling brought to them by the 508L "man-car integration", which is inseparable from the hardcore performance of the Peugeot 508L and the over-the-top configuration.

In terms of performance, the Peugeot 508L has the power to be evaluated by Liu Zexuan as "accelerating without waiting". Equipped with a 400THP turbocharged direct injection engine that has won the Engine of the Year Award for eight consecutive years, the power is very thick and the output is smooth, with a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, and the abundant power output ensures that every start and acceleration can burst out of the surging kinetic energy. Matching the "world's top ten transmissions" Aisin 8AT gearbox has a wider gear ratio, better power, better economy, clear shift logic, faster response.

The surging power output provides an innate advantage for racing projects. At the same time, for consumers, such a golden power combination can also make the daily car scene accelerate overtaking like a probe, without worrying about the power can not keep up; and in terms of economic fuel, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.45 liters per 100 kilometers also makes the cost of the car lower.

The racing arena can not only rely on speed, but also have the ability to stabilize the control of the field. In terms of driving control configuration, the Peugeot 508L adopts a rear five-link independent suspension comparable to that of a luxury mid-to-high-end sports car, which has a better sense of compactness and better driving stability. Four-wheel independent suspension design on top.

Not only that, the body of the Peugeot 508L also uses a high-strength steel of up to 1500MPa, and the proportion of high-strength steel used in the whole vehicle exceeds 70%; the only all-aluminum alloy rear beam of the same level, the lower rear axle mass, so that the body posture in extreme cases can also be well controlled. Good body stiffness combined with high-quality chassis tuning makes the whole vehicle respond quickly under active driving, more stable in and out of the corner, and can remain as stable as ever even in low adhesion road conditions.

The only AMVAR variable independent suspension in its class adjusts the damping size of the shock absorber to meet the needs of handling and comfort in different road conditions, and the extreme speed cornering can also be relaxed. The brake system matching the 330mm diameter oversized front brake disc and all-ceramic brake pads has good anti-thermal attenuation performance, which can effectively guarantee the braking performance and ensure the braking reliability during intense driving or emergency braking.

After the experience, the two champion drivers could not help but sigh that "the cross-level chassis configuration + excellent tuning is like a good saddle with a good horse, making the 508L even on snow piles and snow elk have a better performance, and it is reasonable to win multiple championships in the CCP Ice and Snow Challenge, refreshing our inherent understanding of the control of vehicles at this price point.".

From chasing the track to galloping on the road, the peugeot 508L's champion gene is deeply dissolved in the blood in the DNA, winning the 2021 CCPC China Ice and Snow Challenge Car Group Comprehensive Championship, peugeot 508L interprets the identity and strength of the new French driving flagship with strength. Now it has engraved the mark of the fastest B-class car on the Pegasus Circuit, conquered the champion drivers with strength, and solidified the label of "B-class car driving control ceiling", which proves that in the middle and high-end cars, whether it is a family scene or an occasional pursuit of speed and passion, the Peugeot 508L is the best choice.
