Chapter 207: Encounter at the Racing Sanctuary
Just the first attempt at pulling horsepower made the Zotye technicians present at the scene exceed their expectations of the performance of this modified ZT700.

After a group of people finished adjusting the ECU program for the entire car over the next two days, the original 1630 horsepower of the car was squeezed out by about 30% more, reaching more than 2000 horsepower on the wheels!
As for the torque, it has also been increased to a terrifying level of about 2600 Nm.

You know, this torque and horsepower can be compared with the performance parameters of some heavy-duty engineering vehicle diesel engines.

But if you stuff such a powerful V8 engine into a supercar, you can imagine how terrifying the power it can unleash is.

Of course, in today's supercar circle, the research and development of traditional pure fuel V8 power systems has been stopped.

Top V8 experts like Koenigsegg have now launched a system called Gemera V8, which has a maximum power of 2269 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2750 Nm.

But it is a hybrid power system. The simple V8 fuel engine only provides 1100 horsepower, and the remaining half of the power output is driven by the electric motor. In essence, it is not a pure fuel power system.

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue used MC materials to modify the original engine of VT700 was also to regain a reputation for domestic products in the field of fuel vehicles.

To avoid achieving good results and being criticized by those Western-worshiping people, who say that Chinese car companies can only make electric "unpopular cars" that others didn't want 100 years ago for their own pleasure.

……

Having completed the complete modification of the VT700, Chen Jue handed over this private vehicle that he had already acquired to Zotye’s technicians a few days later to further improve the ECU program and adjust the details such as the bottom card.

After all, the current professional skin library for Iron Golem has not yet refreshed the existence of [Automobile Engineer]. Although the original [Mechanical Engineer] has strong hands-on ability and can be comparable to the national craftsmen who grind nanometers with bare hands after opening the skin, it still cannot cover these professional jobs involving the combination of automobile and IT fields.

After waiting for a week.

The town of Cologne-Neuerburg in Germany.

The morning mist enveloped this exotic town full of car culture. As the sun rose, the roar of car engines could be heard in the streets and alleys of the town.

As a world-recognized racing mecca, the Nürburgring track receives vehicles of different models from all over the world every day, ranging from a few hundred to more than a thousand.

Even some large automobile manufacturers, professional racing drivers, and track enthusiasts choose to reside near the town in order to visit the Nürburgring Nordschleife as often as possible within a limited time.

After all, the Nürburgring Nordschleife is the ultimate testing ground for vehicle performance!

The total length of the track is 20.81 kilometers, including 154 bends. The overall design follows the undulating mountains, with a maximum vertical drop of 300 meters. In order to pass the Nürburgring Nordschleife at high speed, very high requirements are placed on the durability and performance of the vehicle.

Precisely because of the complexity and variability of the track, the Nürburgring Nordschleife has earned a very hardcore name in the automotive industry: the "Ring of Truth".

The meaning is very simple, that is, no matter which car it is, as long as it conquers this place and creates a leading record, it is equivalent to creating the truth in the automotive industry!

In order to conquer the Nürburgring Nordschleife, luxury brands such as Porsche, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have set up special test centers in the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

In recent years, domestic new energy vehicles have begun to gain momentum. Domestic car companies including NIO and BYD have also sent their own flagship models to the Nürburgring to test new energy vehicle technology, and used lap time results as a promotional selling point when new cars are launched.

However, the Nürburgring Nordschleife has limited carrying capacity. In order to cope with competitions and conduct closed-road tests for large automakers, it is only open to the public for 2.5 hours during working hours from Monday to Friday.

Only on weekends like today will it be open to the public all day, allowing car enthusiasts who come here to drive their own cars in to experience it.

Just as the day was getting light, all kinds of cars parked outside the motels on the streets of the town began to start up.

There are supercars like Ferrari and Lamborghini, as well as performance cars like the BMW M series or Audi S series starting to rush to the racing track.

The parking area outside the entrance to the track was even more crowded, with many unique modified cars waiting to be allowed to enter.

In addition to vehicles from various EU countries, you can even see quite a few Chinese car reviewers and domestically produced cars with blue and green license plates with Chinese characters, who have come here from afar to do the review and record the program.

As a holy place in the racing world, the Nürburgring Nordschleife itself has traffic attributes.

Coupled with the intensive bombardment of short video apps such as Douyin and Kuaishou, driving a domestic car across the Eurasian continent to Germany, a car-making powerhouse famous for its automobile industry, and letting local car enthusiasts see the amazing mobile luxury "color TV + refrigerator + large sofa", and capturing some "shocked reactions of foreigners", can easily attract traffic on domestic social media.

The combination of these two traffic BUFFs has made many domestic car reviewers taste the sweetness, and they often go to the Nürburgring to record programs. As for the cars these car reviewers drive, they are not their own, but mostly commercial orders from manufacturers who provide funds behind them.

Otherwise, Germany and China are tens of thousands of kilometers apart. Apart from the rich guys who have the free time and like to drive around the world, who would drive here for nothing better?

"Nana, will you go in first and try two laps? Or should I go first?"

Next to a Porsche 911 with a Guangdong license plate, Wang Jieke from the well-known domestic car review program "Speed ​​​​Partners" was holding a camera and recording footage, while chatting with Nana, a hot colleague next to him.

This time, Wang Jieke was invited by Porsche to come to Germany to record the program. He and his colleagues in the program team racked their brains before coming up with the idea of ​​transporting this Porsche 911 from China to its place of origin to run on the Nürburgring.

This kind of program creativity can not only highlight Porsche's long history and culture of racing, but also take advantage of the popularity of the Nürburgring. Once this video clip is released, Wang Jie can guarantee that it will have tens of millions of views.

As for his colleague Nana, she was a little absent-minded at the moment. She pointed curiously at a Xiaomi team in the corner of the parking lot and said, "Wang Jieke, look! It's Xiaomi's SU7 Ultra!"

The UP hosts and photography team of the "Speed ​​Partner" column were all very excited to meet the testing team of a domestic manufacturer in the holy land of racing.

In addition to the encounter with old friends in a foreign land, the gossip that the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra model tested lap times in the Nürburgring Nordschleife had been all over the domestic car review circle a few months ago.

It is also a kind of fate to be able to take close-up photos of the actual car being tested on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

After all, Nana himself is one of the first owners of Xiaomi SU7, and he has posted several related evaluation videos on his own column channel.

When Wang Jie Ke was reminded by Nana, his eyes were also attracted to the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra with a camouflage cover.

"Xiaomi's SU7 has been selling like hot cakes recently. I wonder what the price of this Ultra will be."

"Since Mr. Lei Jun personally brought the team here for testing, they should be able to achieve a good lap time!" Wang Jie Ke murmured.

He planned to wait until his own show was finished and then take some time to pay a visit to Lei Jun.

For new stars in the car industry like Lei Jun, the business orders they can send to car reviewers are generally good, and there will definitely be no problem in building more relationships.

Including many foreign riders in the parking area, they couldn't help but take photos after seeing the camouflaged Xiaomi SU7 Ultra.

no way!
Who made domestic new energy popular all over the world?
In the first three quarters of 2024 alone, more than million new energy vehicles were exported. Nowadays, there is no foreign consumer who fails to give a thumbs up when talking about Chinese cars.

After all, foreign monks are more likely to chant sutras. Domestic cars that are looked down upon by Chinese people become high-end imported cars when they go abroad.

In addition to making cars, Xiaomi also sells electronic products all over the world. The mi logo alone is enough to attract attention.

Just as everyone's attention in the Nürburgring parking lot was drawn to Xiaomi's team.

A large freight truck towing a container drove slowly in from outside the parking area. Behind it were a dozen vans such as MPVs, and technicians wearing silver-gray uniforms got out of the trucks, which immediately stole the limelight from the Xiaomi team.

"What? Another Chinese technical team?"

“When did the Nürburgring become the world of Chinese car companies?”

"Z? What brand is this?"

"I don't know! I heard that Chinese car companies are very competitive and new brands are emerging one after another. Looking at the configuration of this team, it seems that they are very strong, with so many technicians and equipment." Foreign car enthusiasts were talking about it.

On the other hand, after seeing the car company logos on the new technicians, several UP hosts on the "Speed ​​​​Partner" program team were all wide-eyed and exclaimed in disbelief: "Wow! Zotye... Zotye!"

"Why is Zotye coming to the Nürburgring?"
