Volkswagen started its new mini SUV - T-Roc in Italy. This new car mainly for the Chinese market, the target locked in the young consumer groups, will also be FAW - Volkswagen domestic first SUV. Do not have to wait for a long time, will be listed next year, before it is necessary to tell you about this small SUV.
As early as coilovers the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, Volkswagen launched the T-ROC concept car, although it is a two-door detachable hardtop convertible SUV, but has been able to see the new car design concept, just released production version with it Similarity is high. According to international practice, the new car R & D cycle from the concept car to the production vehicle with 3 years, in the past count soon, but now has a new platform technology blessing, is also a normal rhythm.
Speaking of the platform, the public T-Roc MQB based on the engine to build a modular platform, which is what we are familiar with the term. Cash golf 7 also from this platform, which is characterized by the size of the body, the proportion can be adjusted within a certain range, different levels of models can share the same technology, configuration. MQB is also the size of the points, T-Roc is MQB A1, golf is MQB, and MAGOTAN is MQB B, the concept of the size of the more clear
From the body size point of view, T-Roc Till more than the import of a lot less, not to mention the domestic Tougou L, and its length 4234mm, car width 1819mm, car adjustable coilovers height 1573mm, wheelbase 2603mm, the overall look and Honda Wise is at the same level. However, it is important to note that the public T-Roc's body more wide, lower, before and after the suspension is very short, it is more exercise.
From the design can be seen, this is the most popular models of the public. The front of the rear wheel, these design elements are to express young, dynamic effect, for a SUV, the proportion of the body also took just right. Moreover, from the style can be divided into two different versions, one is Style fashion version, one is Sport Sport Edition, the appearance of the details are different.
Came to the car, in addition to the typical popular style of the three-spoke steering wheel, the other part of the new idea is still very strong. In order to look young and lively, two-color decoration indispensable, from the door to the control panel and the central control area, T-shaped area of ​​the veneer color should be optional, as well as the middle of the seat trim
Just mentioned, MQB platform is a major feature of the advantages - configuration sharing, so we can see in the T-Roc LCD digital instrumentation, technology and avant-garde, and no longer envy more advanced models. The entire mass brand models, from POLO to Hui Ang can have this piece of LCD screen.
Mobile Internet is certainly not missing the function, by the center console LCD screen is mainly responsible for, from the size and display to see with Tiguan L, Lu Ang, etc. comparable. APP Connect mobile phone mapping, but also through Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLif and MirrorLink smartphone interconnection.
Safety, with the city emergency braking and pedestrian monitoring before the touch early warning, automatic collision braking and lane maintenance are configured, ACC adaptive cruise can be 30km / h to 210km / h between the role (manual) If it is DSG gearbox, you can achieve parking to 210km / h, that is, can automatically follow the car.
In short, the public T-Roc configuration level can be aligned to a higher level of the model, the other will adjustable coilover not be less. Of course, you want the concept car on the detachable hardtop, not yet.
T-Roc's powertrain system uses all efficient TSI engines, with 1.0T, 1.5T and other displacement, the engine maximum power up to 140 kilowatts, in the European market there will be TDI diesel engine. The drive system has two options: manual and DSG dual-clutch. As a SUV for the main use of the city, T-Roc has the choice of front-wheel drive and 4MOTION intelligent four-wheel drive.
As a result of the feedback to the market, the public SUV family will become increasingly powerful, by 2020 there will be 10 models, T-Roc is one of the important models, I think you can stand on the shoulders of the giant to describe it. First of all, Volkswagen is the giant car industry, and secondly, in the field of SUV, Volkswagen brand selling models have Tiguan, Touarers and way Ang, or sales are huge, or huge volume. T-Roc 'has a giant-level public brand-based, there are giant-class SUV brother to support, to be successful should not be difficult.

Ferrari released a group of its new sports car Portofino official figure, the model will replace the California T continuation of the Ferrari family of sports car myth, its driving force is equipped with a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, 100 km acceleration time only 3.5 seconds. The latest news shows that the new car coilovers will be held on September 12 at 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show officially released. Appearance, the new car with the latest Ferrari family design style, but it is also clear to see the shadow of California T. Carefully observed, Portofino for headlamps, front grille and bumper are a new design, while the body is also equipped with a sports kit around, so that the vehicle effect is more exercise. The new car with a hard top convertible structure, with a very aggressive design, so that the vehicle vision is more pull the wind. Body size, the new car length and width were 4586/1938/1318 mm, the weight ratio of the former 46: after 54. Interior, the new car continued part of the California T design style, mainly on the configuration was adjustable coilovers upgraded, equipped with 18 adjustable adjustable electric seat, 10.2-inch touch control screen, and also optional JBL sound. As a result of the new guide, the car's air flow reduced by about 30%, so that the noise level in the car to a large extent reduced. In terms of power, Ferrari Portofino is equipped with a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a maximum output of 600 hp and a peak torque of 760 Nm, and the drive is a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In addition, the new car will be equipped with a third generation of electronic differential (E-Diff3) and upgraded to double coil technology of the magnetorheological damper system (SCM-E), which combined with the F1-Trac traction control system to improve the The curve performance of the vehicle. Performance, the new car 0-100 km / h acceleration time of 3.5 seconds, the speed is greater than 320 km / h.

With the Japanese Toyota, Honda and Nissan compared to the three brothers, Mazda in the market to maintain a relatively low level, because Mazda to put more energy into the nature of the repairer, it has been known as the outside world Car technology car prices. Mazda's pursuit of the engine technology is never tired, each of its models are almost inseparable from the movement of the word, and the adjustment out of the vehicle control is absolutely first class, but appreciate the Mazda technology inherent in the consumer is not too much. When the rotor engine was abandoned, only Mazda is still studying with great concentration, Mazda is the world's first rotor engine mass production of the car business, had to admire Mazda technical paranoia. Natural inspiration has always been synonymous with Japanese cars, but now adhere to the coilovers natural way of breathing only Mazda, Mazda engineers believe that the natural suction engine there is room for improvement, Chu-blue technology is "deep digging" result. Mazda in the automotive technology investment can be said to be more than marketing, as the industry said that other man-made cars in order to make money, Mazda is to make money. Toyota and Mazda cross-holding 5% of the new power system cooperation and sharing agreement has been used by the outside world. Among the Japanese companies, Mazda and Honda are focusing on technical research, Toyota is more focused on the scale of efficiency. Japanese car prices in the global giants which are more alternative, each car prices are very insistent on the style of self, Toyota as a car driver of course, will not easily cooperate with the younger brother, this cooperation with Mazda to share power technology, is undoubtedly a fancy Mazda The second generation of Chi-blue technology can give their own hybrid to bring substantial help, there is still a need to explain what is the creation of blue sky technology. SKYACTIVTechnology (SKYACTIVTechnology) is not the name of a car technology, the first proposed by the Mazda in October 2010, plans in 2015 for its models of gasoline and diesel engine, manual transmission and automatic transmission, chassis , The body structure and other major components to optimize the technology in general (due to the creation of blue sky technology contains too much content, this article only describes the Chi-blue sky engine). The first generation of Chi-blue sky in June 2011 by the mass production, Mazda CX-5 became the first production models. The first generation of Chi-blue technology will gasoline engine compression ratio increased to 14: 1, fuel economy and power performance increased by 15% or more in the industry a sensation. The first generation of Chi-blue sky has been so strong, and Mazda's craftsman spirit exposed, 2015 Mazda began the second generation of Chi-blue sky technology, and this is a direct attracted to the eyes of Toyota. Design of Black Technology for Generation of Hitachi Blue Sky Engine For the piston-type internal combustion engine, to improve the compression ratio is one of the most effective way to improve engine efficiency, the first generation of Chi-blue engine will increase the compression ratio to 14: 1, and most of the passenger car compression ratio can only be achieved 9: 1-11: 1. Although the high compression ratio in exchange for high performance and low fuel consumption, but also often lead to burst cylinder, reduce the efficiency of the engine Redesign the exhaust system. Mazda engineers designed a 4-2-1 exhaust system, which first merges four separate exhaust manifolds into two exhaust manifolds and then aggregates them into an exhaust manifold. On the one hand to increase the length of the exhaust pipe, on the other hand the ignition time adjacent to the two trachea separated, basically able to reduce the amount of exhaust gas in the full range, so as to prevent the occurrence of knock. Porous nozzle, concave piston to improve the cylinder combustion environment. The use of high-pressure jet of the nozzle, to improve the spray characteristics, the formation of a more homogeneous mixture, but also a corresponding reduction in the formation of mixed gas. In addition, the use of concave top piston (the top of the piston is designed as a concave hole), you can form a thick mixture around the spark plug, even if the ignition time can be maintained to maintain stable combustion performance. The structure is lightweight and reduces internal energy loss. The Chiming Blue Sky Gasoline adjustable coilovers Engine reduces the mechanical resistance by 50% through the improvement of the valve transmission mechanism, while reducing the piston ring tension to reduce the mechanical resistance by 37%, resulting in a 30% reduction in overall mechanical resistance of the engine. The piston and piston pin weight reduction of 20%, connecting rod shaft weight loss of 15%, the crankshaft main shaft weight loss of 6-8%, in order to reduce the movement of the piston parts, Final engine weight loss of 10%. Two cycles of dual mode switching. Here to add that point is to adapt to the actual situation of Chinese oil, domestic Mazda Chi Chi blue sky engine can not achieve 14: 1 compression ratio, but the application of the 13: 1 compression ratio, which can not be in the whole situation Keep under. In order to solve this problem, Mazda Chuang blue sky engine with a Miller cycle and Otto cycle dual mode switching mode, when the engine into the high load conditions, the engine will switch to a compression ratio of 13: 1 Otto cycle , And when the engine is in a partial load condition, the engine will only operate in the Miller cycle mode. HCCI (homogeneous pressure burning) technology to help create a blue sky and then upgrade HCCI is HomogeneousChargeCompressionIgnition abbreviation, translation is homogeneous mixed gas compression technology, the core of this technology is homogeneous mixed gas (HC) and compression (CI). The new generation of Chi-blue engine with HCCI technology, can make gasoline, air and exhaust gas mixture in the combustion chamber evenly distributed, and through two ways to ignite. In the high-speed range, HCCI canceled the spark plug ignition, to burn, this work is similar to the diesel engine, but in the low-speed range and the use of the traditional spark plug ignition, HCCI is the two fusion. However, compared to the average engine, HCCI engine mix more fully burned, not simply rely on flame propagation, air and waste gas to reduce the combustion temperature, less heat loss, but also reduce emissions, while enhancing power and fuel economy. However, HCCI technology in the compression conditions and spark plug ignition conditions of the two conditions of choice and convergence is an industry recognized technical problems, but this point by Mazda engineers to develop the spark ignition control compression technology (SPCCI) To solve, the successful realization of the spark plug Turbocharger ignition and ignition between the seamless switch, that is, so that the ignition ignition can be completely controlled. "I-stop" and "Chong Chi blue sky" engine with the use of fuel to achieve more full use. "I-stop" is developed independently by Mazda, and the general "Stop & Start" engine start and stop system is the biggest difference is that "i-stop" is not relying on electric starter to restart the engine, but the world's first use of pre-control piston Stop position of the electronic control technology, in the initial phase of the engine re-ignition that is fueled by fuel injection to restart the engine energy-saving technology. A new generation of Chi-blue sky to bring the data to enhance In the first generation of Chi-blue engine on the basis of the addition of HCCI technology, which makes Mazda in the natural aspiration engine field of data to achieve the possibility. In the second generation of Chi-blue plan announced when the Mazda proposed to be the second generation of Chi-day blue sky engine compression ratio mentioned 18: 1, and the first is expected to be carried in 2018 launched Mazda 6 or Mazda 3 models , While the conventional 1.5L models of 100 km fuel consumption is only 3.3L, which in 2019 to be fully popular in 2020, the engine fuel efficiency of 50%. So that is not intuitive, we can compare some of the data can be aware of the second generation of Chi-day blue sky engine of the powerful. First, the compression ratio of the engine can reach 18: 1, we look at some other models of compression ratio: Jeep free light 2.4L engine compression ratio of 10: 1, Toyota Corolla 1.6L engine compression ratio of 10.2: 1, Volkswagen Second generation 2.0LEA888 engine compression ratio of 10.5: 1, while the Ferrari 458 compression ratio is only 12.5: 1, only more metamorphosis Ferrari 458Speciale only reached with Mazda Chu Chi blue sky the first generation of 14: 1 compression ratio. The second generation of Chi-day blue sky engine fuel consumption compared with the first generation will drop Coilover Shocks 30%. According to reports, 1.5L of the second generation of Chi-blue engine can be used 1L oil driving 30 km, 100 km fuel consumption 3.3L, which is much lower than the vast majority of hybrid fuel consumption. Power also has a great boost, the new generation of 2.0L engine maximum power reached 170 horsepower, will be able to go beyond the public 1.4T EA211 parameters, also very close to 1.8T EA888. While the second generation of 2.5L engine power maximum power reached 210 horsepower, the maximum torque also have different degrees of improvement. The second generation of Chi-day blue sky engine thermal efficiency of 50%. Thermal efficiency refers to the ratio of the heat converted to mechanical work in the engine to the amount of heat consumed. At present, the automotive industry's most efficient engine is the use of Athen Sen cycle Toyota 2.5L engine, the thermal efficiency of 41%, and most of the gasoline engine thermal efficiency is still more than 30% wandering. to sum up: Mazda Chuchuang blue sky father who saw the gentleman has been less optimistic about the turbo, and he also said that will adhere to the natural aspiration engine research. From the rotor engine to the creation of blue sky technology, we can see the Mazda engineers are persistent pursuit of technology, it is their paranoid so that we have reason to believe that the goal of a blue sky technology will also be achieved, then naturally inhale and Turbulence between the contest will rise to a new height.

2017 was known to share the car in the first year of China. As a new way of car use, shared cars are more flexible in terms of time and place of use, and are generally booked with smartphone applications, making them much easier than traditional car rental.
In fact, as early as ten years ago, there are foreign companies began to test the water to share the car. After years of exploration, in Europe and the United States and other auto industry developed areas of shared cars have formed a certain scale, and derived from a variety of forms. Which lack of experience in the Chinese market can learn from.
Wide range of vehicle sources
At present, the domestic shared car Crankshaft platform is divided into two categories, one is backed by vehicle companies, purchase a single brand models. The other is purely Internet companies, mostly to the 4S shop, car manufacturers to obtain the form of financial leasing. In overseas, the source of the vehicle is more extensive.
The first category is the independent car sharing service. The nature of such services is like the average car rental company, is based on the needs of the market to choose the right model, and then to the car manufacturers to buy. From the source of the vehicle, many of these shared cars were launched by city government agencies, universities, and rail transit operators, which were very similar to the early stages of shared cycling.
The second category is the traditional car rental company to provide car sharing services. In many European and American countries, except for airport stores, most of the traditional car rental service network is not all-weather operation, especially in the holidays, you want to rent a car is not easy, but most of the car rental demand is precisely concentrated in the holiday, which Making car rental companies often need to introduce some weekend packages to attract customers. After the popular concept of car sharing, many large multinational car rental companies like Hertz, Avis, also began to provide self-service car rental services in their own car rental car park.
The third category is car rental services provided by car manufacturers. This type of car sharing service is provided by a car manufacturer to set up a subsidiary, the most typical examples such as Mercedes-Benz Car2Go and BMW's Drivenow. Car manufacturers to provide their own car rental service is the advantage of many users to the most simple way to experience the Custom Crankshaft depth of its brand models, which play a model of its publicity effect. At the same time, because all of the production vehicles, maintenance, maintenance and supervision is also more convenient.
The fourth category is very interesting, some similar to the same share of the economy in the Airbnb, is through the ordinary people of private vehicles to provide short-term rental car sharing platform. This model is more in line with the "car sharing" the intention. For the owner, you can directly get economic benefits, for consumers, the car rental location, models, the price range is more extensive.
Take the pattern is no different
Take the car and the car is the most concerned about the car users. In foreign countries, share the car to take the model and the domestic is no different, can be divided into fixed and free to take two categories.
The first category is a car with a fixed parking point, from a place to take the car, after use must also be the same as the traditional car rental, returned to the original location. This mode is also commonly called Stationed Car Sharing or Round-trip Car Sharing. Specifically, the traditional car rental company to provide shared car, the general will use their own parking lot, Hertz, Avis and other brands are so, as domestic first steam leasing launched Gofun shared car.
In addition, some of the German city rail transit station near the parking lot, can be used to take the shared car, so that the public transport and shared car connection. There is also a part of the shared car company to the city government, commercial parking, apartment companies to buy street parking spaces or basement, parking spaces for three-dimensional parking lot, or direct rental of private parking spaces to provide services.
The second category is no fixed parking point, the car is completed, the car can be in a certain area of ​​the city within any public parking spaces parked. It is also called Free-floating car sharing, the user can take the car at point A, and then to point B. This way a lot of flexibility, but in the way with the fixed parking spaces are different, will be measured in minutes, more flexible time, the average price is more expensive.
In addition, this mode of booking vehicles can go to the front of the car and then booked, booked in advance only 15 minutes in advance booking, so that you can basically guarantee that at any time with the car, sounds and share the cycle is not the same? And the above mentioned fixed take the share of the car needs to be booked in advance, in the car peak demand, often need to book a few days in advance, greatly reduced the flexibility. In Europe, the realization of this mode of operation to share the car company needs to sign an agreement with the city government, its vehicles can be parked in the restricted parking on the public or parking lot parking spaces, without time constraints, need to pay the meter users do not have their own Paid by the company in accordance with the total number of vehicles in the city together to pay the total cost.
Model selection is more broad
Most of the domestic car is a good stop to put a small car coilovers or mini car, as well as zero emissions of pure electric vehicles. This part of the model is very suitable for short-distance, short-term driving in the city. In foreign countries, the choice of shared car type to be much wider.
Draco from the US share car company offers a variety of models, in addition to the most demanding small cars and compact cars, but also provide MPV and pickup to choose from. In addition, in some high-end areas of large cities such as Manhattan, New York, many users earn high income, but because of traffic jams or parking spaces, there is no private car, for this part of the spending power of users, Zipcar will provide some compact and medium-sized luxury cars The In addition, in some tourist coastal cities, Zipcar's fleet there are some convertible civilians sports car can choose.
Driven by the car manufacturers to share the car brand, often will focus on several models within the model. Both to facilitate the brand to promote, but also reduce the difficulty of maintenance, BMW DriveNow all models are from the BMW or Mini. Mercedes-Benz Car2Go is naturally Smart For Two, in some areas also provide electric version of the Smart ED, fixed site Car2Go Black is more high-end Mercedes-Benz B-class.
A market survey shows that many users sharing cars are not sensitive to the type of rental, they are more concerned about the price of the car rental and easy to use. So there are a lot of companies choose a limited number of the most suitable models, which can not only unified pricing, but also to minimize the difficulty of maintenance. Greenwheels from the shared car brand in the Netherlands, although not associated with the public, but in order to reduce the cost of car and maintenance, but also all the use of the public vehicles, respectively, suitable for two short-haul mini car UP! , Suitable for 4 people and long distance golf, as well as suitable for the delivery of goods Kai Di, from Germany CiteeCar choose a child Kia K2.
Sharing the use of the car habits, decided that pure electric vehicles will occupy an important role in them, they are short-distance use so do not worry about no electricity, and the program can display the remaining mileage of the vehicle, if it is a fixed site even more worry about charging facilities. So there are many service providers choose the electric car. For example, the French Autolib all used is a called Bolloré Bluecar electric car, the car by the company to contact their own Pingning Farina design, by Cecomp OEM production, can be described as special for the car. Toyota in Japan and the car rental company Park24 cooperation launched a car sharing service, all using Toyota's new electric tricycle i-Road. The car is only 60 kilometers per hour, mileage is only 50 kilometers, can only take an adult, can not meet the needs of ordinary home car, but it is very suitable for Japan's dense city and the ancient city of Europe, the use of narrow streets.
Those who share the car industry's "brand name"
At present in the country, there have been several share car brand called ring, and the formation of their own characteristics. From a global perspective, Zipcar from the United States is the first recognized car brand. The vehicle placed in a fixed location, the user through the App to select or booking near the vehicle, the vehicle is completely removed through a membership card to achieve, remove the car before the model of artificial services, car rental users full self-help consumption. This model allows Zipcar to become the largest and most successful time-sharing leasing Internet car sharing platform for the past few years, has accumulated 770,000 users and the company valuation reached 1.1 billion US dollars.
However, with the advent of the smart phone era, Zipcar has been Exhaust Manifold facing many challenges, first of all, in the registration of perfect credit information and pay membership fees, the user will receive membership card in 3-7 business days, the whole process is too slow, Emerging shared car platform only in the mobile App can be completed on the registration, the whole does not exceed 10 minutes. Second, do not support with the follow, but also to the development of Zipcar bottlenecks.
In addition to Zipcar, in the international market, auto giants have also started the layout, Daimler's Car2Go, Ford's GoDrive, BMW DriveNow, Volkswagen Quicar, GM RelayRides, the details of the mode of operation and Zipcar are similar, Starting from 2008 to 2015 range. In addition to these already large-scale shared car platform, more manufacturers are also looking forward to a share in it, Audi North America will run an Audi in the United States to share the car project, and is expected to launch services throughout the United States this year. Jaguar Land Rover has also set up a subsidiary called InMotion, to provide users with travel areas of shared services.
In addition to the giants, in fact, some domestic manufacturers in overseas share car project also has a very high "volume." ShareN GO is a shared car brand from Italy, it is worth noting that the brand selection of all models from China pure Electric cars know beans. Only Milan, Italy, for example, ShareN GO in the local registered number of times every year doubled, knowledge beans electric cars in the streets of the city can be seen everywhere. With the ShareN GO project in Florence, Milan and other European cities of the wind and water, as the project's only designated car, knowledge beans electric car is also renowned in Europe, last year at the Frankfurt Auto Show, the project and the beans began to The pace of entry into more countries in Europe. In the overseas success at the same time, ShareN GO also bring beans electric car "kill" back to the country, trying to share the domestic car in the field of a firm foothold.

Many people think that Citroen's logo is two Chinese "people" superimposed design of the word, for a far away in the French depot, this argument is like a big hole, but then again, Citroen brand Development process in the brain hole, far more than to take an exotic text when the car is much larger.
Marketing master, language is not surprising endlessly
China IT session there is a joke, said Luo Yonghao and Lei coilovers Jun difference, is the difference between marketing director and technical director. And Citroen founder Andre Citroen and other car prices that the difference between those who start the house, but also the same can be obtained.
Andre Citroën was born in a family of economic conditions, good family conditions gave him two hobbies: see science fiction and travel. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the scientific and technological achievements in the day of the dream day, he had access to many new emerging technology.
In 1905, he completed his studies at the Paris Polytechnic University, took the opportunity to travel in Europe, transit in Poland, he found a herringbone gear, that time a variety of large-scale machinery after another, mechanical components between the multi-gear transmission power, While the contact area of ​​the chevron gear is greater and the durability is higher. Andre Citroën realized that the gear would have a huge market, bought the gear in Europe, the patent.
Andre Citroën earned the first pot of gold. In 1908, he took over the Mors brand, began to manufacture cars, in order to understand what the world's advanced level is, and even specifically to the United States to find Henry Ford took the The
After the outbreak of the war in 1914, he crushed to start making shells, the Rhine on the rumbling fire, for him is simply rolling gold. Note that this time the Citroen has been 6 years of repairer experience.
But in 1916, he realized that the war will end sooner or later, the arms business can not be long, and the car will sooner or later enter the tens of thousands of households, he began to use arms income, to the To support Louis Dufresne and Panhard two technical staff to develop civilian cars, but also stressed that the design of the car must be able to use the existing arsenal equipment to produce.
In March 1919, Citroen announced the first own-brand car Type A, which is only four months since the end of World War I ... ... This is Europe's first mass production, the overall sale of civilian cars, cost Turbocharger and quality are Very popular.
This car appeared on the first Citroen own car standard: from the zigzag gear sawtooth double modeling.
The buddy's eloquence is also amazing, he wants to find a core area in France to promote a good place to promote Citroen cars, so he found in the Champs Elysees 42, there is a show shop Fernand Charron, to persuade each other to transfer the store To their own, the most is the Fernand Charron I also sell the car, so the Citroen persuaded to give up his business to invest in Citroen. Now this show is also owned by Citroen, we can go to Paris to play.
Andre Citroen as a never-ending brain hole, immediately aware of the model design and "small facelift" to bring freshness to boost the role of sales, in 1921, redesigned Type B on the battle The The car's car standard has also been designed, three-dimensional octagonal car standard more atmosphere.
Compared with Citroen's gratifying sales, Andre Citroën and its public relations team in the marketing campaign on the ground was amazing, please allow me to deviate from the theme to report to you.
In 1922, Citroen rented a plane, in the opening ceremony of the Paris auto show left a 5 km long Citroen giant letters, sometimes stunning world.
In the same year, Citroen felt that the family wanted to buy a car, but was short of money, so he created the first car consumer credit company in Europe to provide an amortized sales credit business for the owner.
In 1923, Citroen realized that only some dry things, in order to make people aware of the importance of Citroen cars. He not only organized the team around the country, but also successfully crossed the Sahara Desert, the same year, Citroen car and completed through Africa and Central Australia feat, for a time, Citroen's reputation and photos spread all over the media.
In 1925, Citroen with 250,000 light bulbs to his name shining in the French landmark - Eiffel Tower, the horror of the publicity campaign has continued until 1934, than in Paris to meet Neumer do not know the high Where to go.
From 1931 onwards, Citroën held a "yellow trip" and "black travel" that let it go annoying. The former organized a team from Paris to Beijing, so far in the Beijing Automobile Museum to see the Coilover Shocks vehicle at the time; the latter is to promote the Citroen's semi-track pickup, through the continent.
There is such a high profile marketing, Citroen is not difficult to fire. By 1933, the French sold the commercial vehicle, Citroen's market share as high as 40%.
And those who only sell advertising manufacturers, love toss is also running around Andre Citroen never stopped to make their own car in the technical more powerful desire, Citroen in the technical innovation is to make the world Ashamed:
In 1925, Citroen in the world of automotive starting the whole body of the body of the B10 models, the durability of the car to a new height.
In 1932, in the new Rosalie cars, Citroën has developed a plastic material as the engine and chassis connection components of the technology.
It is worth mentioning that, starting from the Rosalie series, Citroen used a direct way with the front face of the way, two huge chevron is not only a good decoration of the tank grille, even more people can see that this is A Citroen.
In 1934, became the history of Citroen can not bypass the year, two major events have occurred.
This year, Citroen released a car called Traction Avant, translated very simple and rude: front-wheel drive.
Imagine, who will give their children directly take the name "handsome" it? Unless you are really handsome people who are angry. The car has a backcourt called "front wheel drive" because it is really the world's first front-wheel drive car.
The car to achieve three initiatives: 1, carrying body, Unibody integrated design; 2, four independent suspension; 3, front wheel drive. Each one is difficult to complete the technological innovation, the results of Citroen in a car to achieve three.
Compared with the technical strength of the car, the change in the standard car is simply not worth mentioning, the water tank on the car to become wider and more prominent, looks full of many.
And in order to achieve mass production, Citroen also built their own factories, resulting in the company into a huge financial hardships.
In the end, the French government came forward, Michelin on the Citroen was funded, and began to intervene in management, Andre Citroen was forced to leave their own name of the manufacturers.
Just a year later, Andre Citroen died of gastric cancer, only 57 years old, Traction Avant as he presided over the design of the last car, years of time is short, but let their name in the Eiffel Tower on the French night sky 10 years, this life is also worthy of magnificent words.
Troop, take you first to the future
In the Michelin rule, Citroen did not fall into mediocrity, but instead took out three in the history of the world car master name works.
They are a small truck, a civilian car, a luxury car.
In 1947, Citroen H Van debut, this car looks like armored vehicles, small trucks, has been rated as changing the French interior transport industry's face: simple and straight body, easy to manufacture; short front, put as much space as possible Left the goods; side open the door, easy postman and other people who need to get off frequently.
From 1947 to 1981, H Van produced a total of 34 years. The car's car standard began to shrink, and gradually move closer to today's style.
Do you think 34 years is long? Naive. In 1948, Citroen released a civilian car designed for the French people after World War II: 2CV. In all fairness, the car looks really weird, sleek front cover, back cover, wheel cover, but was placed straight up straight under the car body, cloth soft roof and two frog like headlights, slightly unexpected appearance On the body.
But this car is simple and durable, with the original style, won the love of the French people, breath from 1948 to 1990, the cumulative production of more than 5 million, until today you can almost every country in Europe to see Its shadow.
Although only one year difference, but 2CV car logo shape with H Van has a world of difference, although still appear in the water tank, but the two characters rely on very close, often as a person.
That Citroen will only make low-end car? Do not worry, the following car has been called the goddess (The Goddess).
In 1955, Citroen announced the DS 19 at the Paris Motor Show, even after 62 years, I was still shocked to face the shape of the car, so I can not describe the French people to see such a like from The future of the model when the feeling.
I only knew that the car was booked more than a thousand hours an hour after the debut, and more than 12,000 units were booked within one day. The record was not broken until 2016, and the car that broke the record was called Tesla Model 3.
Not only the wedge-shaped body, rocket-shaped rear taillights, half-package rear wheels and other design shocked the world, the car's technological innovation is groundbreaking, DS 19 is the first use of the Citroen high pressure gas-liquid linkage system (hydropneumatic self -levelling suspension system.
The system removes the damping springs in the suspension of the traditional car, but in each wheel is equipped with a metal hemisphere, by injecting high-pressure oil, to ensure that no matter how much car loaded things, or encounter what traffic, Can keep the body height unchanged.
DS 19 The second leg of the car is the first legend of the French President Charles de Gaulle bought a car as a car, the car's first legend is to save the life of Charles de Gaulle.
In 1962, General de Gaulle was assassinated in France, the gunmen to the President of the car crazy shot, DS 19 with 14 guns, left front wheel and right rear wheel was playing off, but still by virtue of a unique suspension system to ensure the normal driving of the vehicle , Highlight the tight encirclement. The second year, China and France in the Charles de Gaulle driven by the smooth establishment of diplomatic relations, also known as DS 19 is one of the important witnesses of Sino-French friendship.
This event, so Citroen's suspension system in one fell swoop. In 1965, Crankshaft Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow purchased the system, proud of the British people in their own luxury brand's flagship use of this system, which shows its historical significance.
Because of the unique identification of DS 19, Citroen actually confident that the car is not placed in front of the car, only in the rear placed a small size car standard.
The late fifties and early sixties, Citroen twice to adjust the logo printing styling, to determine the gold and white-based logo design system.
The adjustment involved in the most famous cars, non-SM none other. In 1968, Citroen bought the Maserati, hoping to produce high-performance luxury cars, SM is the final product, the car has become the world's fastest front-wheel drive vehicles.
In order to ensure the low wind resistance of the whole car, Citroen even in the front design of a license box, the license was placed inside to avoid affecting air performance.
Many of the new cars are not popular on the equipment are appearing in this car, such as the headset with the steering, as well as the power and can automatically return to the steering wheel.
But SM can be described as untimely, the large displacement of it encountered an oil crisis, directly declared the car in the market performance of the collapse.
In 1974, Peugeot Group received a 38.2% stake in Citroen, the two companies began to join the same year, Citroen launched the CX models, widely acclaimed, the car in 1982 sold to the Guangzhou Oriental Hotel 120, as Citroen into China's logo.
In 1976, the Peugeot Group purchased 89.5% stake in Citroen, we are familiar with the PSA group since its establishment, since then, Citroen in the group to assume a more young market direction, the car has also been Custom Connecting Rods redesigned as a more passionate red White color.
M & A failed to end Citroen's triumph:
In 1989, Citroen XM available, with active hydraulic suspension, according to road conditions to adjust the body height.
In 1991, Citroen invented the rear wheel with the steering technology, the rear wheel can be adjusted according to the direction of the appropriate deviation to improve the body's handling performance, this technology is also with the "Beverly" in the domestic production and household name, but also laid Citroen in the country "corner king" reputation.
In addition, the rise of the display, photosensitive adaptive combination instrument, the central fixed control steering wheel, yaw warning system and other technologies are all starting in the Citroen body.
In 2009, into the new millennium Citroen redefine their own Logo, two characters are no longer angular, but joined the rounded curvature.
Looking back over the centuries-old history of Citroen, after the risk and not down to the publicity of the imagination and crazy technical addiction to create a horror of the carved models, but in the face of a pearl formed a change, also life also.

Since 2002, the domestic sales of Buick Regal off the assembly line, Regal as Buick's number one "star character" has been bright stars, in the B-class car market has a underestimated position, but with the rapid rise and growth of independent brands, and then With the SUV on the medium-sized car market competition, in recent years the overall sales are not ideal, SUV in the field of medium-sized car is already sit tight sales list and Regal in the B-class market attack power has weakened as a large Turbocharger consortium of SAIC reaction Quickly, in April in Shanghai Auto Show debut, the new generation of Regal July 21 officially listed, the price range of 17.58-26.98 million.
After the listing of Regal, in order to revive the "star" halo, manufacturers arranged a variety of different road conditions in different places test drive activities, there are cities, mountains, plains, but also with a variety of road conditions to interpret the integrity of the new Regal Times Bing brother also invited and the "star" together to Hulunbeier feel the prairie, feeling the wind blowing grass see cattle and sheep, find out what.
From the data table, Buick in the new Regal body with a lot of cutting-edge new technology, but also by the global design and vehicle development engineering team leader, in the body structure, electrical architecture, drive system, etc. to do the iterative upgrade, Than the previous generation weight loss of about 160 kg, which represents the driving quality, fuel consumption performance than the previous generation has changed.
I remember when the first time to see the real car, in the Shanghai auto show debut, compared to the previous generation, indeed become more moving young, the same from the family before the face design Although there are "big brother" Laoyime shadow, but the front of the network And LED daytime running light wing element or let it have a good identification, not Coilover Shocks like the public family of the family so that you silly can not tell.
Buick is very smart, it will nowadays the hottest choice of the three most power to Junwei equipment, respectively, 1.5T, 2.0T turbocharged engine and 1.8L hybrid, the whole match 9AT manual gearbox , The future of the 9AT will be the most common most suitable "engine companion" is now running over, the market test period is ongoing. (Bing brother measured in manual mode, 95km speed has been able to hang into the 9 block driving)
And the sound of this aspect of the performance is so I was very pleasant part of the front row of the use of double glass effect is remarkable, Bing brother try to open the road section to 170km per hour, can still chat Air Suspension in the car with the normal tone, Do not deliberately improve, and this sound insulation is the whole system are the same, not because the displacement or price reduction with the material, but one thing I do not like, that is, after the throttle step, the front cabin engine noise will be obvious Passed to the cabin, will make some of the overall texture price.
If you want the luxury interior, it must not be a common good show, practical simplicity is the general style of the wind, the movement of three-style steering wheel, surrounded by control, HUD head show, high with models of seat leather + suede fabric wrapped, The car is also equipped with a surround-style atmosphere, dual-temperature independent air-conditioning, 8-inch LCD screen, Bose sound, etc., practical configuration with it, can be described as sincere, in the actual ride I tried The comfort of the row, the flexibility in the parcel and the seat is obviously better than its rival MAGOTAN.
The soldiers test the market is the amount of 1.5T, is also the consumer is most concerned about a set of powertrain, and this set of 1.5T after the continued strength, really unexpected, speed from 80km-160km you Still can feel the engine there is power for you to play, so do not worry about enough power, but in the throttle before the small turbo due to power is not obvious, if you want to step up the high speed to squeeze power, the engine Pass into the car thunder of the "shouting", so you do not have the desire to drive, yes, the small displacement of the front section of the turbo is still in the body is still reflected in the body, and low speed gearbox will have a trace of frustration , The downshift response is also to think about it, will not give you a direct response, so you have to be overtaking before, it is best to first touch the turbine delay time difference, it is best to be the way it is progressive to the oil, it will Give you the best feedback.
The use of a new caravan, automatic according to the speed than the variable damping sense of the steering wheel, dynamic appearance, leapfrog level of sound insulation, which is my day off the feelings of this car summary, the new Regal as a global model, Know how to make it to please most consumers, after all, there is a group of SAIC on how to understand the Chinese users coilovers for sale want a strong intelligent group, or Wuling Hongguang and Po Chun will not get such a great success.
Buick brand as one of the most successful models, Buick LaCrosse and Regal cars both complete the new generation, Regal's facelift can not make the medium-sized car market structure shock, this is really can not guess, but no way to deny their own brand digging Must be in the slow erosion of the joint venture brand market share, after all, in the range of 15-20 million, you can choose too many models, but if you need a biased young sports, there are control of the space , There are technical background of the mid-size car, that a new generation of Regal will undoubtedly be the first choice.

Porsche answered the prayers of enthusiasts everywhere when the new 911 GT3 was rolled out with a manual gearbox – particularly as it was considerably cheaper than the limited 911 R which was commanding over $1 million in the used car market at the time. You can imagine the outcry, then, when it was announced that the track-focused GT3 RS would only be offered with a PDK transmission. Porsche argues that customers who buy a GT3 RS prefer the precision of a PDK transmission to set faster lap times.
However, some hardcore enthusiasts will say you can’t beat the satisfaction of thrashing a Porsche around a track with a manual setup. One disgruntled GT3 RS owner decided to take matters into his own hands and fit the track-focused sports car with a manual transmission. As a result, what you’re looking at here is the world’s first manual 991-generation Porsche fit Toyota Corolla Shocks For Sale GT3 RS. Rob Janev, the man behind the project, had only clocked up 900 miles in his GT3 RS before he decided to swap the PDK transmission with a manual. Enlisting the help of Florida-based tuner BGB Motorsports, the PDK was swapped with a six-speed manual from a 911 R sourced from a local dealership.
Speaking to Road and Track, BGB Motorsports boss John Tecce confirmed that the gearbox cost $22,000 and $45,000 to fit it. The transmission fits into the GT3 RS relatively easily, but the hardest part is getting the hardware and software to work correctly. Tecce said the GT3 RS “basically thinks it’s a 911 R” because the source coding had to be imported from an R. This means the rev matching works as it should, as does the gear indicator in the tachometer. Traction control and rear wheel steering uses the programming of the GT3 RS, however.
Janev has been documenting the progress of the project on Rennlist which is nearing completion, and has gained the support of Porsche enthusiasts.
“I don’t like that Porsche took the manual option away from us GT car owners only to put it back into a limited numbered car and play games with allocations,” he said, referring to the 911 R which sold out almost immediately after it was announced. $45,000 may sound like a lot for a manual transmission swap, but the 911 R typically sells for double the price of a PDK-equipped GT3 RS which makes this look like a bargain.

In fact, the story of Ferrari to write my heart is rejected, one is the author of the first few brands of ultra-running one of the two on the story of the brand is too much, there are a lot of online articles on the Ferrari, models introduced, Brand story, as well as Enzo Ferrari and Fei Luzzio Lamborghini's private grudges. But today I want to say are not these, but on the Ferrari models name. This manuscript can be final shape, can not be separated from the editorial colleagues and any teacher's "gossip", he is particularly interested in the Ferrari no festivals, the following I use one of our common favorite of the CMC car as a story of the introduction Get up and see how Ferrari is naming your own models.
A difference in space, from Testa Rossa to Testarossa
Speaking of the name of Testa Rossa, I can see from the teacher and a model of the CMC, because the price is quite cheap so that we both want to start the impulse, but helpless on the appearance of the car how to Engine Parts mention Not interested, this is the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, often written as 250 TR. Testa Rossa is a phrase consisting of two words in Italian, "Testa" means camshaft, "Rossa" is red.
In fact, the Ferrari 250 was a series of models, but one of these models in common is the same V12 engine, their structure and appearance is almost exactly the same, are designed by the engineer Colombo, but the weight is different. In order to ensure that the lightweight engine used in the game is significantly different from other engines, the mechanics put the camshaft cover painted red, so there is the name of Testa Rossa.
The subtitle mentioned a difference in space, because after the 250 Testa Rossa, Ferrari for a long time did not have a car and then use the name, until the mid-80s, Ferrari remembered the name. In 1984, Ferrari at the Paris Motor Show launched Testarossa, but this name no longer appears in the box, "red camshaft cover" with a complete gesture in front of the world. We are certainly some strange to this series, after all, its production and price in that era is the vast majority of people can not afford.
Following Testarossa, Ferrari so far no longer a car to use the name, but then it was a mess of fire. In addition Testarossa there is a bright spot, that is, it is the use of the level of the opposite engine, we all know that the current use and production level is opposed to the engine only Porsche and Subaru, and their level of the engine up to 6 cylinders , But the Ferrari level of the engine to increase the number of cylinders doubled.
Ferrari super fast, this is not nonsense
"Ferrari super fast" sounds a little trouble are not, because nonsense no problems, but I say this is really not the speed of Ferrari, but the name of the Ferrari car. You must have thought, this is not the previous burst of 812 Superfast Well, the translation is 812 super fast, although the name is really simple and rough some, but "Superfast" history is really short, Custom Connecting Rods the first to it The named model was born in 1959, called 410 Superfast. The car is a major feature to meet the US market, the rear design into two vertical tail shape, but the front part or to keep the Italian car romance and passion, the whole looks a bit nondescript.
After the 410 Superfast was born 500 Superfast, its appearance looks more comfortable, made by the Pininfarina studio surgeon reflects the appearance of the Italian romantic and passion, is the perfect classical and modern design Combined, more than one point is too complicated, less and slightly delicate. After the 500 Superfast, Ferrari did not use the name "super fast" for a long time until now 812 Superfast.
America SuperAmerica? Dedicated to the United States and the emperor of the money
First explain, if the evolution of the name according to the car to sort, should be Superfast cars from SuperAmerica, and SuperAmerica from the America series. See the name you can know, this is tailored to the US users, and their common point is used V12 engine displacement much larger than in Europe, after all, the old United States after the war the strongest economic strength, gasoline is also cheaper.
America series of engines can be described as the Ferrari at Custom Conrods uk the top of the V12 engine, this engine is the most important feature of maintenance surprisingly troublesome, so the maintenance price is also high, but this is for the US imperialists are not a thing, This engine as long as the assembly is reasonable, properly adjusted, it will become a large displacement, high torque and smooth operation is also full of fun machines. As the Ferrari top series of America, the body is almost all custom, the output is extremely scarce, but more than thirty or forty units, ranging from only a dozen units. But Ferrari is also satisfied, that can also get more profits from the hands of the US imperial tiger, so conspiracy faster and more luxurious new car series.
In 1955, Ferrari in the previous American cars on the establishment of a faster and more luxurious cars - SuperAmerica. The first car was named 410 SuperAmerica. Although the 410 Superamerica series of body is not uniform, but most of the works of Pininfarina, their engine from the original 4.5-liter V12 upgrade to 5.0 liters V12. The relationship between SuperAmerica and Superfast is like a brother.
 

Many people on the Chinese automobile manufacturing industry has been some prejudice, foreign countries are so round the moon, the domestic automobile production and processing and assembly process of course, can not keep up with abroad, even in their hearts, even if the joint venture models than foreign products , Imported cars is the benchmark for quality selection, but the truth is true so?
Not long ago, Brilliance BMW once again entered the fit BMW e36 coilovers Ministry of Commerce issued the "2017 year in line with the requirements of the list of auto export license business list", the production of vehicles can be sold to Europe and the United States market, and many Chinese-made joint venture models have also begun exclusive The supply of overseas markets, and even the Chinese brand is no longer just satisfied with the export of the vehicle, began to take root overseas "colonial" action, today we come to see, in the end is not a monkey mine.
NO.1 Buick Angville
At the end of October 2014, SAIC GM Buick for the Chinese market to build the first medium-sized SUV - Angke Wei listed in the country, a year later, the first batch of SAIC GM Angke Wei in Yantai Port ship sail, the official export, including the United States , Canada and other countries of the North American market. This can not find any prototype in the overseas Chinese special models for export to the North American market, including the United States, including North America, China's automobile manufacturing level has a new understanding of the export of Angkor in the appearance of the interior and Configuration and the domestic model is no big difference, large head of large space, and quiet and comfortable driving experience is not only Angke Wei in the domestic selling point, also by the American people value.
Powertrain is probably the biggest difference between domestic and foreign models, the domestic sales of Angke Granville models have 1.5T and 2.0T two kinds of power, 1.5T models match 7 speed dual clutch gearbox, 2.0T models match 6 speed hand Gearbox, and export models have 2.5L and 2.0T two kinds of power, two engines are matching 6-speed automatic transmission.
NO.2 Ford Focus
[AutoBild painted the fourth generation of Fox renderings]
Last month US media said the new Fox (fourth generation) will be put into operation in China in the second half of 2019, and produced by the Michigan factory Fox (third generation) models will be discontinued in 2018, 2019 began the US market The sale of the new Fox will all be imported from China, which will also be the first time Ford Motor Company exports cars from China to the United States. In addition to the rest assured that the quality of China's production of products, cost savings is also a comprehensive Ford imported from China to the United States an important reason to the United States, but do not know whether this move for Ford will be satisfied, And let Ford retract his neck.
NO.3 Volvo S60 / S90
In fact, Angkor exports to North America six months ago, there is another joint venture model made in China exported to the United States, it is the Volvo S60 Inscription, as a follow-up models based on S60L, S60 Tuning Parts Inscription is also the Volvo car Chengdu factory specifically for the US market to build The product. For the US consumer preferences and the US market access regulations, the US version of the model to do a small part of the adaptive changes, such as the appearance of the use of more chrome trim, etc., in addition, the car and China's domestic sales models There is no difference in quality.
If the export of these mainstream models can not fully represent the strength of China made in the automotive market, then the luxury brand flagship car production standards should be enough convincing. April 12 this year, by the Volvo Daqing factory manufacturing 400 S90 long wheelbase version of the official export to the US market last month, the first Daqing production line production S90 also arrived in Europe by the Central European train. In addition, Volvo plans to use the Daqing, Chengdu and road and bridge production lines, 90,60 and 40 series models of production, to play the role of global production center. China's production line to join the Volvo global production capacity, in addition to China's own automobile manufacturing process level, but also and Geely's acquisition of Volvo and the prevailing area along the way policy is not unrelated.
NO.4 Chery SQR372
See here believe that many people do not know what SQR372 car? This is not a model, but an engine, it belongs to the Chery ACTECO engine. In fact, Chery Automobile's export business as early as ten years ago began, and exports in the Chinese brand for many years ranked first, ACTECO engine has also been exported to the United States, Europe and other countries for decades, but the SQR372 engine Export is not the same, because this is Chery independent calibration of the engine, that is its ECU components are Chery independent production completed. After this core technology has been Bosch, Delphi, mainland and other enterprises monopoly, those who say that China can not make a decent engine of the words I am afraid that will become a "rumor".
The company that signed a cooperation agreement with Chery was John Deere, a Fortune 500 company engaged in agricultural equipment manufacturing, and the SQR372 engine would also be mounted on a tractor, but it was only the beginning, and one day the Chinese themselves The engine will be mounted on a foreign car!
NO.5 SAIC-GM-Wuling
Although the Chinese brand to export the vehicle has long been uncommon, BYD, Lifan, Chery, the Great Wall, Dongfeng and other independent car prices began a few years ago the vehicle export business, and abroad has made a good sales, and now, Qiu Ming Shan God of the owner - SAIC-GM-Wuling, built directly in the factory abroad. Recently, SAIC-GM-Wuling Indonesia Custom Engine Parts factory officially held the opening ceremony, the factory was originally produced in India Chevrolet Halol factory, is also the first in India's first factory, due to poor business long-term losses, was SAIC access disk. This is the first time in their own independent investment in equipment and resources overseas factories, the output of the brand and products, the formation of a complete supply chain system, manufacturing system, sales service system.
SAIC-GM-Wuling Wuling Hongguang car models and Po Chun brand models are relying on a very strong price advantage in China has made remarkable achievements in the Indian market, the main price is also a very appetite strategy, the first launch in the Indonesian market Products for the Wuling Confero S, the prototype for the domestic Wuling Hongguang S. It is worth mentioning that, before GM has also been in Indonesia, Wuling Hongguang Chevrolet for sale, I do not know this authentic autumn mountain god car in India for the Chinese brand car to open the market?
Conclusion
China's vehicle export business from the previous face to Asia and Africa to now facing Europe and the United States, from the export of domestic cars to export luxury brand flagship car, from the export vehicle to the exit with independent intellectual property rights of the engine, from export products to overseas construction factories, And sales and supply integration system. Now the Chinese manufacturing has gradually out of that once we even look down on the shadow. Of course, its goal is no longer limited to the production of people to let people worry about the car, the moment looks good achievements only just the beginning of the rise of the Chinese brand automobile industry in the future there is still a long way to travel, hope that one day has been people Love to ignore the domestic car will let foreigners can not climb, I hope every country in China can continue to forget the original car prices, tempered forward!
