James' tone was very much like a salesman, but Xia Yu had heard of this car.
"Is that the Project ONE?"
"Yes, the name was changed last year."
Mercedes Project ONE, the hybrid supercar released by Mercedes-Benz at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, was renamed AMG last year. However, it is not produced in the AMG factory, but by the Brackley factory of its F1 team.
This car is equipped with a 1.6T V6 engine. It looks awkward, doesn't it? But this is the engine used in F1 racing cars. Since entering the hybrid V6 era in 2014, the noise has become increasingly unpleasant.
Goodbye, my autopilot, goodbye, my F1. If Xia Yu loved F1 to the core, he could really squeeze out a few tears, but now he couldn't even squeeze out crocodile tears.
"Can you take me to the production workshop?"
"Of course, you are our guest of honor."
James extended his hand to invite them in, and the group turned a corner and arrived at AMGONE's production workshop.
This hybrid supercar is limited to 275 units, and currently has more than 1,000 reservations. If Xia Yu wants one, Mercedes-Benz will not hesitate to kick out a few people and give him one.
Unfortunately, Xia Yu has no interest in hybrid supercars. He has not bought any of the three legendary cars, and now he will not buy an AMGONE. However, after seeing the actual car, he had other ideas.
“When will you deliver this car?”
"The original plan was to deliver it this year, but judging by the current situation, it will be delayed."
James is in charge of technology, and naturally he is also involved in projects like AMGONE that use F1 engine technology, so he knows this and the official announcement will be made soon.
The reason for the delay lies in this F1 engine. It has to be said that it is really too powerful. Even though the crankshaft, pistons and electronic system have been re-customized, its idle speed still reaches 4000 rpm.
This car definitely cannot be driven on the road. It must be cut again and again until it reaches 1200. At the same time, it also needs to meet different emission and noise regulations around the world, so delivery has been delayed.
This is a bad thing for car fans, but for Xia Yu, it is an opportunity.
"I think its performance can be further improved during this period before delivery."
Xia Yu stated his purpose.
James looked at him. What did he mean?
"Four electric motors, a 100kg lithium battery, and a measly 24km electric range. Don't you think this battery is just too bad?"
"Well, I can't make the decision on this."
The technical director really doesn't care about this, but Xia Yu can talk to his boss directly.
A phone call was made to Feng Manxue to change the itinerary temporarily. They had to go to the country before returning.
As for the car, they didn't drive it and flew it back to the country directly. After getting off the plane, they took a car there.
"Is this your daily life?"
Maria and Xia Yu said as they came out of the factory.
She had known about Xia Yu's music before, but this was the first time she saw this side of him.
"It's not life, it's work. I'm a scumbag in life."
Xia Yu revealed himself without any burden. Since it is difficult to find a soulmate, it is natural to tell him everything he knows.
"I don't believe it. I've never seen such an honest scumbag!"
Maria didn't believe it, or else she was too unattractive.
"Alas, no one believes the truth these days. Do women just like to hear lies?"
Xia Yu said this with emotion, which made Ji Yang beside him want to beat someone up.
Listen to what he said, is this even human? Are all Italian women so stupid? Fortunately, none of his ex-girlfriends were of Italian descent.
"Old Xia, do you want to take over this order for AMGONE?"
Ji Yang asked, even though he despised him, Xia Yu's business operations were still worth learning.
"No, that's unfair to the battery manufacturers. I only offer a solution to make this car more powerful."
Adding configurations to a car is a very common operation. Naturally, you can also choose the battery pack. The one with shorter battery life is cheaper, while the one with longer battery life is more expensive. For a supercar, 100 kilograms is not a small weight.
With the same capacity and half the weight, the owners who can afford this car are not short of money, and I believe they will make the right choice.
What about Xia Yu? What benefits does he get from doing this?
All I can say is that the benefits are not too great. It is riding on the coattails of Mercedes-Benz and producing the highest-end hybrid supercar. This is just like CATL, which received a 10 billion yuan order from BMW. It will start to become awesome from now on.
It is relatively simple to temporarily change the route within Europe. Feng Manxue quickly handled the relevant matters, and the three people boarded the plane to the country.
Maria also went along. After completing the exchange performance, she had some free time. She wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Xia Yu better, but the more she learned, the more shocked she became. He even had a private jet, not to mention that the stewardesses on the plane were so beautiful.
Could it be that what he said was true and he was a scumbag in real life?
Even a scumbag won't eat grass in his own backyard. Xia Yu did this just to please himself. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that something happens, this person can't stay with him.
If you seduce him today, you can seduce his son tomorrow. This is not conducive to the physical and mental development of the child.
Soon, Sherlock landed on the runway of Stuttgart Airport. The headquarters of Mercedes-Benz is located in this city. As soon as we got off the plane, we saw a fleet of Maybach cars coming to pick us up.
It was quite grand, worthy of the kindness left by the system. Xia Yu now accepted all of it.
