Chapter 290 289. Buy It (Monthly Pass 37+)

"A shrew?" Li Du asked back, "I think it's a beast."

Hans nodded and said: "Of course, it can be heard from its name, Hellcat, buddy, this is Dodge's housekeeping beast!"

If the Germans are the best car builders in the world, then the Americans are the best car builders.

The best car-making technology is in Germany, but when it comes to the real car culture, it depends on the United States. They can be said to be the only ones in this regard.

As the first country to popularize family cars, the car culture of the United States has its own distinctive characteristics. Domineering, martial arts, and enthusiasm are the souls of Americans infused into car culture.

The most representative model among them is naturally the American muscle car.

But the muscle car is a bit tasteless. Everyone likes it, but most people can't afford it. Its tonnage is too heavy, its displacement is too large, its power is too high, its fuel consumption is too much, and its practicality is poor.

Therefore, with the passage of time, in the trend of the times, muscles began to slowly evolve and change, and many models began to adopt turbocharged engines with smaller displacements to reduce the price and the user's car cost.

The Dodge Challenger is one of the most classic American muscle cars, and Li Du has his eyes on the flagship model of this car, the SRT Hellcat.

"Similar to other American car series, the Challenger car series has a dizzying variety of models, and the Hellcat is the most powerful one among them."

"It is only one type of Hellcat, but it is also divided into four series. The difference lies in the engine. The first series is equipped with a 3.6L, 305 horsepower Pentastar V6 naturally aspirated engine."

Carlos introduced and pointed to the side, "This car is the first series of Hellcat, how about it, isn't it very domineering?"

Li Du stroked the car body and asked, "What about the other series?"

"The other three series are 5.7L, 375 horsepower HEMI naturally aspirated V8 engine, 6.4L, 485 horsepower HEMI naturally aspirated V8 engine, and the Super Hellcat, which is equipped with a 6.2L HEMI supercharged V8 engine Engine, do you know how many horsepower it has? 717 horsepower!"

Hans said excitedly: "Choose the fourth series, a super muscle car, a super muscle car with 717 horsepower!"

High horsepower means fast speed. Li Du doesn't know how much horsepower the racing cars on the F1 track have, but 717 horsepower is definitely the most powerful engine he has ever seen.

This made him a little excited, but he also felt hesitant. The 717 has too much horsepower and is prone to danger.

Next to him, Carlos continues to introduce this series of cars: "The word Hellcat comes from a carrier-based fighter F6F of the US Navy during World War II. Because the United States was involved in the early days of World War II, the US active carrier-based aircraft F4F Wildcat compared with the Japanese The zero type does not have an advantage..."

"The Hellcat, as an improved model of the Wildcat, made great achievements in the middle and late World War II. The name Hellcat became a nickname representing might and strength in the United States. The flagship model of the Dodge Challenger borrowed the name of this fighter jet, named after it. To show off the brute force of this muscle car..."

"Think about it buddy, it has a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine, its maximum power is 717 horsepower, it has a terrifying torque of 881 Nm, do you know how long it takes to accelerate from a standstill to a hundred kilometers per hour? 3.8 seconds! "

"Turn off the ESP, this guy can burn tires and drift, it's not a pony, it's not a wild cat, it's a Hellcat, I bet it's the best muscle car in America!"

"The Hellcat belongs to the Dodge Challenger, but not all Challengers can be called Hellcats. Men should own such a car!"

Hearing this, Li Du sighed: "I admit, buddy, I was moved by what you said, so let's go and have a look at this car."

"The ultimate Hellcat with 717 horsepower?"

"Yes!"

This car is very famous, but it burns a lot of fuel, so it is not very popular in Phoenix. After all, the economy is in a downturn. Unless you are a rich second generation, few people can afford this kind of muscle car.

The car dealership also only has one Ultimate Hellcat, which is placed at the core of the muscle car exhibition area. The dark body is surrounded by lights, making it look full of dominance.

"The length of this car is 5020 mm, the width is 1900, the height is 1450, and the wheelbase has reached an astonishing 2946. In terms of length and wheelbase, even off-road vehicles have to stay away!"

Carlos took out a very delicate storage bag while introducing. The bag was opened, and there was a manual inside, introducing this car.

Li Du opened the car door and sat in. The car seat is comfortable leather-wrapped memory foam, with a layer of suede on the outside, which has an invincible texture.

He controlled the steering wheel with both hands, and then noticed that the car had two keys, and asked, "Why are there two keys?"

Hans said with a smile: "The Hellcat has two keys, use the red key to start the ignition, its maximum horsepower is 500, but if you twist the black key, buddy, then you really opened the gate of hell!"

"700 horsepower with the black key?" he asked.

Carlos nodded: "Yes, but I think unless you want to play big, 500 horsepower is enough, isn't it?"

After hearing the introduction, Li Du started to test drive.

There is a testing site behind the dealership, and Hans scrambled to test it, saying: "This car is too dangerous, Li, let me try it out, you can take a look first."

Li Du squinted at him and said, "Since the car is very dangerous, why don't we buy it?"

Hans immediately smiled and said, "Buy, buy, buy, you come to test the car, and I'll take a look."

Li Du nodded in satisfaction. He sat in and drove to the starting point. Someone came over and told him, "The car should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour. Once the driver causes damage, the driver will be responsible for the consequences, OK?"

"OK!"

"GO!"

This car is an automatic transmission, so after Li Du puts it in gear, don't worry about it. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the pointers on the dashboards in front of him started to rotate wildly, and the car rushed out with a 'swoosh'!

It just rushed out, it didn't run out, Li Du only felt a strong push back, and the car had already rushed out.

Subconsciously, he activated the ability to slow down time, so that he finally reacted, and then freely controlled the car to run.

The speed of 100 kilometers per hour is a child's play for this car. It runs fast and calm, and the sound of the engine is also very clear and high-pitched.

When other test drivers saw the car he was driving, they stepped out of the runway to applaud, and some took out their cameras to take pictures.

Li Du was very satisfied with this rate of turning heads. After driving around for two laps, he got out of the car and said, "Okay, let's buy this car."
