In the 90-minute endurance race, Guangfeng's twin-engine "the horse runs fast and doesn't need to feed more grass"

As long as you know a little about cars, you must know that the dynamic performance of a car is often contrary to its fuel economy. Want to make the horse run fast, don't want to feed more grass, this kind of good thing can only happen in dreams.

But this time, GAC Toyota turned it into reality and brought it to consumers.

After the first stop was successfully held in Shanghai Tianma Circuit, the second stop of GAC Toyota's 3rd Double-Engine Mixed Cup Carnival came to Zhuhai International Circuit. Three models of Hua Dan owned by GAC Toyota-Camry Double Engine, Ralink Double Engine and Willanda Double Engine-were all absent, including famous drivers such as Zhang Hanbiao and Zheng Wancheng, as well as 320 professional racers, professional car critics and car owners from all over the country, in order to witness this miraculous moment.

90 minutes, 13 1.6 km, fuel consumption per 100 km 3.1l.

For three standard family cars, how to push their limits with an endurance race?

One is the venue. Zhuhai International Circuit was chosen for this competition, which has the characteristics of long straight track and sharp corners. This is also the first international track in China that meets the Formula One standards of the International Automobile Federation. Compared with the Tianma circuit in the last stop, the competition level is higher, and the test of vehicle comprehensive performance is more severe.

The second is strict and perfect competition procedures and norms. The endurance race lasted for 90 minutes. Every four people, including the reporter from Zhong Shu, formed a team to drive Camry twin engines, Ralink twin engines and Willanda twin engines respectively. The victory or defeat was determined by the number of laps completed by each team and the fuel consumption level at the end of the race. In particular, each driver of the team must appear at least once, and each car must run at least 5 laps.

The third is to give players more creative space to play freely and tap the potential of the model. In this race designed with reference to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the contestants need to design their own competition strategies, including the sequence of players, the sequence of vehicles, the number of laps, etc., so as to make the vehicle complete more laps within the specified 90 minutes as much as possible and ensure the fuel consumption performance.

These, in addition to testing the driver's driving skills, are undoubtedly severe challenges for a family car in a primitive state.

In the end, the champion team won with a fuel consumption of 3. 1L per 100 kilometers, and completed 3 1 lap/13 1.6 kilometers in 90 minutes. Other teams even achieved the minimum fuel consumption of 2.4L in the whole field of Ralink. On-site guests deeply experienced a hybrid model of GAC Toyota TNGA with "high performance" and "high efficiency".

Behind everything is "born advanced"

It is both unexpected and reasonable that GAC Toyota's twin-engine model can achieve such dazzling results.

Few family cars will carry out rigorous endurance races on the field to prove themselves. After all, fuel consumption and power often cannot have both. However, all three models from Toyota's new TNGA architecture have inherent strength. GAC Toyota dual-engine hybrid models have fully upgraded Toyota's fourth-generation THS dual-engine hybrid system, which provides abundant power while taking into account fuel consumption performance.

In terms of technology, the fourth generation THS dual-engine hybrid system adopts the E-CVT gearbox with parallel layout of different shafts, which has higher transmission efficiency, and combines the low-rotation and high-rotation characteristics of the motor with the advantages of high-rotation aftereffect of the engine. "Full-speed domain true hybrid" has lower fuel consumption and stronger power.

In addition, the new model under TNGA framework has lower center of gravity and higher body rigidity. The newly designed front McPherson+rear double wishbone suspension system, combined with high-precision rack parallel electric power steering system and high-sensitivity braking system, can be easily controlled even on the track, and its handling is highly praised by racers, car owners and car critics.

Even the only SUV model in this competition, with the cooperation of E-Four electronic four-wheel drive, the Willanda dual engine achieved 20: 80 front and rear power distribution, and it also ran quite good lap times in this competition.

Roadmap 2.0 of energy-saving and new energy vehicles released a while ago proposed that hybrid technology will become the main direction of energy-saving technologies for automobiles in the future. This happens to be the specialty of Toyota's dual-engine hybrid, with about 6,000 related patents. The cumulative global sales of Toyota's dual-engine hybrid models have exceeded160,000, which can be said to be the most advanced and mature hybrid technology solution at present.

On the other hand, even after so many years of vigorous promotion, the proportion of new energy vehicles in China is still very small, only 5% in 20 19, which means that 95% of cars in China are still traditional fuel vehicles. These include Camry twin engines, Ralink twin engines, and? The cumulative sales volume of "Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Hybrid Family", including Willanda Twin Engine, has reached 300,000 vehicles, of which the sales volume in September was 9,443 vehicles, up 20% year-on-year.

Reliable product quality, huge market share, excellent reputation and diversified marketing experience activities make it natural for GAC Toyota Shuangqing to constantly circle domestic consumers.
