Porsche's product line, there is one and the other is different.
918 big brother will always be the first position of Porsche, and it is also the boss of the listed group, the young super rich second generation, the price of 13 million + will always occupy the first position of Porsche. But the relatively low-priced Macan also often bangs a few feet on the throttle to highlight his title as the king of Porsche sales.
If you buy Panamela, you can win a cheer, or a peacemaker, with some glory on the face, and will not be called earth. If the green light starts and wins a Mercedes-Benz S600, it is very honorable, but the people who buy Porsches are mostly aware of current affairs and are not too ostentatious. Only those who started out more than Ferrari would be honored as guests, pouring tea and water, and slowly telling their legendary experiences.
And Lao Jiu is the purest person in the Porsche family who pursues performance.
For 50 years, he wore one of his mouth-loving pieces of clothing, frog eyes, fat buttocks, and a rear-mounted rear-mounted horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine. It has now developed to the 7th generation, but what is touching is his dedication to the track. He spoke to people with speed, full of warm roar, and the old nine seemed more connotative than the hot throttle sound of lamborghini.
But when Lao Jiuyi appeared, it attracted the attention of many people, some people said, now the engine start button is on the right, you still put the left? Old stubborn! He was silent first, took out a cigarette, lit it silently, and said in a low voice, "This starts faster, one second, and it's also time." ” They deliberately said in a contemptuous tone, "Then you can't run w12!" ” Old Nine didn't look up and said, "Why do you want me to compare with him..." After smoking, he took a sip of tea, and Lao Jiu flicked the door away. "The track is my soul".
Old Nine is the soul of the track.
If there is only inheritance, then it will not become a classic. The old nine won two times at the Rallyeautomobile monte-carlo earlier, and the Dakar rally in 1984, and how difficult it was to win this title in the hands of a group of SUV masters.
Also the old nine, he led the team to win the Le Mans championship for 8 years from 1975 to 1982.
In order to let the driver start the car faster when racing, Lao Jiu chose to insist on placing the starting port on the left, including the handbrake, which must also be here. There is also the chronograph on the center control, which is also to record the timing of their own acceleration. After the pdk block, there are two columns of buttons, and in today's HOT LCD screen, Lao Jiu still adheres to his classics.
One day, Lao Jiu asked me, "Do you know the horizontal opposing engine?" I nodded. "Then I'll take your test, why is the horizontally opposed engine good?" Old Nine seemed very interested. In my eyes, the supercars are v8, v10, v12, and there is a name called what Di, w16, what is the benefit of horizontal alignment, and pretend not to hear the old nine. "Look, I don't know! I tell you, remember! In the future, you must also understand the car when driving! Old Nine ignored my reaction and spoke with relish. "The pistons of the horizontally opposed engine are relatively moving from side to side, and the vibrations generated in the horizontal direction will cancel each other out, so the smoothness of operation is better." In addition, the cylinder block, crankshaft, valve timing and other systems are also horizontal configuration, so the entire engine presents a flat attached to the chassis, low center of gravity, higher body stability, more resistant to lateral offset than in-line or V-type engines. “ I was impatient, so I ignored him, and he sighed, very sorry.
"Porsche 911 GT2 RS, New North's fastest production car."
Years later, the legend of Lao Jiu is still continuous, and everyone thinks that Lao Jiu is a god. Seeing Lao Jiu again, he is still the same as before, frog eyes, fat buttocks, classic rear-mounted rear-drive horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine. However, the spirit of the old nine is now much greater.
"I heard that the electric cars are very powerful now, and they start very fast?" I said, "Yeah, people are born with motors, and the starting torque is big, it must be fast!" “ Lao Jiu thought about it, but still asked me, "Can you try it?" ” I looked at him in amazement, "Then you go and try it." ”
In fact, the answer goes without saying, everyone already knows.
The only one who can beat Porsche is Porsche.
