Chapter 209: Rookie Driver?

To support the performance version of Xiaomi's SU7, Lei Bus deliberately turned down domestic work and traveled all the way to the Nürburgring in Germany to promote his new car.

Lei Bus is very confident in this new car developed by his company.

The SU7 Ultra uses two Xiaomi-developed V8s motors and one V6s motor to form a power system, with 1548 horsepower and an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.97 seconds.

This acceleration performance is only a tiny bit slower than the Tesla Roadster's 1.9 seconds.

Compared to fuel cars, it's a complete massacre!

Even top supercars like Bugatti, Koenigsegg, and Pagani can only achieve 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in under 3 seconds, or just over 2 seconds.

Moreover, the retail price of the Xiaomi SU7 is only in the hundreds of thousands of RMB, which ordinary consumers can afford with a bit of effort. This is a dimensional reduction strike compared to supercars that cost hundreds of thousands or millions.

However, after seeing the silver Zotye supercar disappear from sight, Lei Bus, who had almost pushed the accelerator into the engine compartment, thought he was hallucinating!

"I can't even catch up to the taillights!"

"Is it the driver's skill?"

"Or is there a difference in vehicle performance?"

Lei Bus felt a little dazed.

This time, Xiaomi went all out with its publicity machine to set a lap record at the Nürburgring.

Countless domestic and foreign car reviewers were invited, all waiting to write articles and make videos for some soft advertising for the Xiaomi SU7 at the Nürburgring.

But as soon as they got on the track, they were left far behind by a Zotye car of unknown model.

Any car company boss would lose face!

Including the two car reviewers from 'Fast Lane Partners' following behind, they were also staring in shock as the silver Zotye supercar disappeared around the bend in the track.

"What model of Zotye is that?"

"It's incredible that a pure fuel car can achieve this acceleration!"

"Nana, after we finish recording the show, why don't we go interview the Zotye technical team on site? I have a feeling that Zotye is about to take off this time."

Wang Jack, driving a Porsche 911, had his heart already set on that mysterious Zotye supercar.

Nana, sitting in the passenger seat, nodded in agreement: "We must interview them!"

As professional car reviewers, none of them would not be interested in such a high-performance supercar.

......

At the same time, on a section of mountain road on the Nürburgring.

A gray-black Porsche 911 GT3RS is competing with a black-red Mercedes-Benz AMG GT.

The drivers of these two cars are test drivers from the performance departments of their respective car companies.

Taking advantage of the early morning when there are fewer people on the Nürburgring, they plan to test their lap times and road feel.

After all, the mind is clear in the early morning, which is the best time of day for human vitality to burst forth, and there will be better performance in terms of driving control than at other times.

However, just as the two German new energy vehicles had competed for a short distance, a silver-gray unfamiliar car chased from the rear of the track with extremely violent posture.

"Huh?"

"What new model is this?"

"What exaggerated angular lines! Lamborghini?"

"Or the American Chevrolet Corvette?"

Several thoughts flashed through the minds of the two test drivers.

But when they saw the silver supercar's terrible cornering lines and twisted driving posture, the corners of their mouths showed a hint of disdain.

For professional drivers, such graffiti-style lap lines are impossible.

It can be seen that this unfamiliar supercar is probably being driven by a rookie on the track.

However, what the two of them didn't expect was that just as they curled their lips and were about to step on the accelerator to throw this unfamiliar silver supercar away.

The other car's unbelievable straight-line acceleration actually overtook them at a ghostly high speed on the forest section's long straight!

Looking at the silver supercar that was constantly widening the distance in front, and the '296km/h' value jumping on the speedometer directly in front of their vision, the two test drivers, as if they had seen a ghost the whole time, widened their eyes and muttered: "Holy Shit! What kind of car is this?"

......

At the same time, under the lap time scoreboard inside the Nürburgring.

A group of foreign car company technicians in colorful uniforms were yawning as they entered the P room (track pit lane).

For a busy and crowded track line like the Nürburgring, the utilization rate of the P room is very high, and it is almost always full every day.

Although today is the weekend public opening time, the technicians who come here still gather and chat for a few words before their team's departure, just like usual.

"Good morning, Semos! I heard that your Porsche 911 GT3 ran into 7 minutes again yesterday, which is really amazing. The top 10 lap times are almost dominated by your Porsche."

"It's okay! The AMG performance department of Mercedes-Benz is also very strong. You occupy 2 of the top ten on the list, and they are all in the leading positions."

Several foreign technicians were blowing each other up commercially, glancing from time to time at the P rooms of several domestic car brands such as BYD and Xiaomi next door, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Although the rise of Chinese new energy vehicles in recent years has been unstoppable, the high-end performance field, especially the professional racing world, is still dominated by these old European car companies.

In the eyes of these foreign technicians, Chinese car companies are like the Japanese Mazda rotary engine that flashed in the racing field that year, all of which are superficially good-looking.

They are rising very fast, but in terms of technical background, they are far inferior to top car companies such as Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz.

Taking the current Nürburgring lap record as an example, only Weilai's EP9 barely squeezed into the 7th position with a score of 6 minutes 45 seconds and 90 seconds in the top 10 list.

The remaining 9 records are all German performance cars.

Even Italian and French supercars have not been able to squeeze into the Nürburgring TOP10 lap time list so far.

It is conceivable how big the gap is, like the Yangwang U9, which is highly expected by a group of domestic car fans, has not even run into the watershed of 7 minutes so far.

However, just as this group of German technicians were chatting, a commotion suddenly broke out under the lap time scoreboard in the distance.

"Best lap time today: 6 minutes 03 seconds 21! Historical record TOP2!"

"Oh my god! Which car company did this? It actually surpassed Volkswagen's ID. R's lap record!"

"ZHONGTAI, ZT700? ? ?"

"WTF? The model brand seems to be the pinyin of Chinese characters. Is this a car made by Chinese people?"

"It's a public open day, and they can still get such a result!"

"Are you sure the timer didn't make a mistake? How could it be a car made by Chinese people!"

The P room area was completely炸锅.

This sudden TOP lap record directly stunned a group of foreign technicians.

Because the Zotye Z logo displayed on the screen and those model codes were too unfamiliar to these car people who have been soaking in the Nürburgring for many years.

Even the Yangwang and Xiaomi teams who came from afar looked like they had seen a ghost after seeing the lap record on the screen that was enlarged and bolded.

"Oh my god! The domestic car circle is going to explode!"
