How does China build its own top car brand? In the past I believed that the answer to this question would only stay at the PPT stage.
Under the technical constraints, if history is not used as a recitation, there are few successful cases in front of us.
But with the passage of time, the power of science and technology is so great that it seems difficult for anyone to conclude that things will not take a turn for the better as to the question that the balance of the industry will not tilt to the east.
Around 2020 when the whole automobile industry turned the rudder towards new energy at that moment the Chinese car companies with good intentions must understand what this means.
Overtaking at the corner has become the reason for new entrants, and for established car companies, if they have the opportunity to put Chinese cars on a higher stage and compete with those really excellent overseas giants, it’s an exciting thing to look at.
And right now through various channels you must have seen that Xiaomi with its own SU7 Ultra prototype has set a new lap record at the Newborough Green Northern Ring Road in Germany.
In this regard, many people will say that it is pointless for the prototype car to run fast.
Consumers can neither buy nor experience such speed and passion on the road to China.
These are just the marketing methods of the enterprise! When you hear such words, you can come to the same conclusion without thinking, but in the eyes of discerning people, it is not a pleasure for Chinese-made cars to run to other people’s territory.
Don’t forget that at the same time the supercar looked up to the U9 in a state close to the original factory’s mass production and also won a phased test score of 7bureau 17.
900 in New North.
Not to mention the U9 test engineering car, which is frantically testing its performance limit 400km away, has won the speed record in the history of China’s automobile development at the speed of 375.
12km/h.
In fact, there is only one signal that these unprecedented operations can send to the outside world: Chinese cars have long passed the stage of “only regarding cars as tools.
” as more and more Chinese brands like looking up to, fully master the key technologies of industrial development, the automobile industry, which was originally dominated by Western countries, will open a new chapter in China.
Challenging “Niubei” is strength, not showing off skills.
In fact, as early as many years ago, Chinese car companies used their own fuel cars to brush lap times in Niubei.
The idea is to feel that their technology has come to the world-class level.
However, the reality is cruel after all.
To close to the state of mass production to set a new record in New Zealand, Chinese car companies at that time were still a long way from the “top”.
Today, however, the whole brand has been established for less than 2 years.
This is put on any new brand, not to mention taking the new car to New North to play the extreme test, the positioning and development planning of the brand is still being sorted out.
It can be seen that the reason why I chose to go to New North at this time is nothing more than absolute confidence in the strength of my own products.
For example, in the field, different from the development route of customizing the prototype car for the track lap time, the test in New North insists on the mass production version looking up to the U9 as the basis, and only a small amount of hardware and software has been modified on the track.
and various software and hardware configuration modification schemes for different test orientation applications also meet the mass production standards and have been well documented.
How big is the challenge of choosing this way for performance verification? It goes without saying.
But then again, when we look forward to the pinnacle of innovation in the automobile industry with the only technological strength of the industry in the past year, how can we improperly belittle ourselves? Therefore, despite U9’s pursuit of speed, it is as persistent as a number of supercar brands.
in fact, looking up obviously has its own interpretation of the extreme performance that technological innovation can bring.
To tell you the truth, at the beginning of its debut, as one of the few mass production supercars in China, looking up to U9 also received a lot of questions.
The upper body of all kinds of cool techs has failed to change these people’s stereotype that “Chinese enterprises cannot make a super run”.
Comments such as “go to the top track in the world if you have the ability” is full of public opinion.
Is it possible for China to build a qualified supercar? Subject to technology this answer has been certain for a long time.
But we always say that time changes everything.
When looking up frequently to tell the outside world that the U9 is not what it looks like, the vehicle adopts innovative key points such as carbon fiber monomer shell cockpit structure design, a new generation of CTB technology, and a powerful power system based on Yi Sifang, which directly props up the strength of Chinese enterprises to manufacture supercars, which is reasonable and worthy of our thumbs up.
In terms of power parameters, the comprehensive power of the U9 is as high as 960kW (that is, 1306 horsepower), the peak torque is an astonishing 1680 N ·m, and the peak speed can reach 21000 rpm.
Needless to say, the configuration of the U9 alone can leave a strong mark in the history of China’s speed record.
And I also believe that it is with such a topic that U9 firmly chose to start its own track journey at home and abroad from the date of release.
It is true that it will only be a year since the top speed of 309km/h was set at Wuhan Hannan Airport in November last year and now the speed record of Chinese cars is set again in New North.
But standing on the perspective of the development of the brand, due to the historical height of the arrival of technology, it can always show that looking up to the brand is different from others, but has its own side.
And it is this kind of innovation, which shows that under the new energy industry, “as long as one person guards, thousands of troops are difficult to capture.
” It is undeniable that the development momentum of Chinese cars in recent years has been considerable in order to make the world have a new understanding of “Chinese cars”.
At home, driven by neo-consumerism, all kinds of quality-to-price Chinese cars continue to reduce the living space of foreign car companies, forcing them to give up the core market, which has become the norm.
overseas, stimulated by the electrified transformation of the industry, or due to the rapid improvement of the advantages of the product itself, the export volume has soared, making the image of Chinese brands more and more friendly.
But it is clear that when sales gradually complete great-leap-forward growth, the challenge for all Chinese car companies has shifted from “building a car” to a new dimension of “building a good car”.
Based on this background of the times, what should those head Chinese car companies do? In the past few years, we have seen someone form their own regiment.
The team swept away thousands of troops in the WTCR event.
They saw people customized a series of luxury models according to the standards of the National Ambassador Team.
Of course, they also saw people like BYD building a high technical wall purely through innovation.
At the beginning of 2023, the Yangwang brand was born.
By the way, the million-level new energy hardcore off-road U8 and the pure electric performance super-running U9 were unveiled together.
Everyone saw what happened afterwards.
Looking up to U8 directly detonated the terminal market with its various product characteristics that can be called black technology.
Now, looking up at U9 and heading to the “green hell”, completing the journey to New Zealand North in an unprecedented way, that is, the core research and development and adjustment of products do not rely on foreign agent teams, but are completely completed independently by China engineers.
What does this reflect? Do you need to say more? At the same time that Wangwang officially announced that the Wangwang U9 had set a fast speed record, Hu Xiaoqing, general manager of the Wangwang sales division, also said on the social platform: ,, ,”In the past 151 days, we have experienced the climate and road conditions of the ‘Green Hell’ in situ, and we have seen how top overseas car brands are improving on the New North Circuit.
Through continuous accumulation of experience, U9 has gradually achieved the basic consistency between on-site measurement and engineering research and development simulation expectations, which provides us with unlimited potential in future development, testing, optimization, application, etc.
” It is obvious that the operation of Looking Up to the U9 is of such great significance to Looking Up to the brand and even to China cars.
, China cars have always left the impression of being cost-effective, and the “performance” label does not belong to almost any China car.
, It is feasible to the present, whether you admit it or not, although every inch of track in New North is testing the extreme performance of the U9 and the driver’s driving skills, the unpredictable weather in the mountains has brought huge uncertainty to track driving.
But in the end, the U9, which successfully completed the test, demonstrated a fact with practical actions: , , as China’s first high-end brand to achieve transcendence on the technology side, looking forward to effectively verifying its own strength, it not only has the courage to persist in doing “difficult but correct things”, but also has the momentum of the rise of Chinese automobiles.
, using technology to encircle the “teachers” who once taught Chinese automobile companies to build cars.
In the final analysis, looking up to the U9 in the name of supercars has never taken advantage of the wave of electrification transformation of the industry to gain some reputation.
At this stage of fully mastering the core technologies of the three power companies, whether we use our strength to showcase black technology to consumers, repeatedly stand on the show at the Goodwood Speed Festival, or go to New York North to show off our muscles and speed in front of the world’s top car companies this time, all aim to expose the increasingly powerful side of China cars to people, thereby bringing the pride of the entire industry and letting the world recognize “China cars” again.
