If there are fans who like antique cars, they may say loudly, "Just give me an antique car from the fifties and sixties!" Wait, don't give up the wish of the magic lamp easily, because fans who love the value of antique cars have a car worth learning about recently.
At the recent Beijing auto show, AM? TECH teamed up with Beijing Songche to participate in the exhibition, bringing? SS？ Dolphin classic sports car and SS? Summer? The MPV concept car will meet you. It is estimated that fans will be a little strange to this brand. What kind of car company is the imaginative word "Song"?
According to the data of official website, as early as 1995, the Loose American Motorcycle Club was established in Beijing. In 2003, the loose founder made his mark in the motorcycle industry by customizing motorcycles by hand. Until 20 19 AM? TECH Company formally invested loosely and set up a joint venture company to put into production neoclassical automobile products in China. At this point, fans should know something about pine locomotives.
Whether it is a simple Bobber or a more exaggerated Chopper, there are loose locomotive works of related styles. Perhaps I think there is still more room for development in the route of retro cars, so I finally turned my attention to four-wheeled retro cars.
First sight of loose SS? Dolphin, I believe that fans who know something about antique cars will immediately think of the object of their design tribute, that is, the original Chevrolet Corvette Corvette.
Speaking of the birth of the Corvette automobile series, it is another American story of "what the people need and what the car factory makes". In the face of the American baby boom, young people with excess energy need a smaller and more exquisite convertible to pick up girls. Harry wrote it? General project initiated by Mr. Earle? The Opel project is aimed at these young people.
So in 1953, the first Corvette was officially launched. But according to the life experience of the protagonist in the film, it has to go through all kinds of hardships. When this cool little sports car first appeared, it couldn't be said that it was smooth sailing. In fact, Ford Thunderbird has a more powerful V8 engine and a more affordable price, but the sales of Corvette just came out are bleak.
Until 1955, GM, bent on turning the tables, stuffed the 4.3-liter V8 engine into the front of Corvette, and increased the horsepower to 240 horsepower at once with the help of a dual-chamber carburetor; At the same time, supplemented by the "fracture" discount that everyone loves, the first generation of Corvette can't breathe.
In the following days, with the continuous improvement of dynamic performance, he also took part in racing competitions to strengthen his sports image. During the first 65,438+00 years of Corvette mass production, a * * * sold 69,000 vehicles and became a classic representative of American sports cars.
Speaking of loosening this SS? Dolphin, the object of its tribute is Corvette of 1958. Its biggest feature is, of course, the white shark's cheek design that extends from the front wheel to the door. In addition, the towering front of the car with four-wheel headlights, coupled with a very streamlined rear design, all the feelings of the year have come back. Coupled with the chrome-plated decoration and rim style of the times, it is enough to get full attention in the urban areas where luxury cars are everywhere.
Of course, this SS? DOLPHIN only pays tribute to the design of the first generation Corvette in appearance, but still tries to meet today's safety regulations in essence. So BYD was loosely recruited to provide a power system, a plug-in hybrid system consisting of 1.5T engine and a single motor, matching a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Although Matsumoto also offers V8 engine options, the import price of the whole vehicle is 3.75 million! Then it is better to choose this familiar "DM" power combination, not only to make SS loose? Dolphins have the performance and energy consumption that meet the needs of today's cars, and they can also get a green card.
As for the interior, it is not as good as retro appearance. Whether it is the central control LCD screen, or the electronic gear handle on the central channel, not to mention the extremely versatile steering wheel, you can clearly see the shadow of BYD models. For the looseness of walking on the road of replica, perhaps we should pay more attention to the interior atmosphere.
This SS with a price of 598,000? Dolphin plug-in version not only has convertible and hardtop body to choose from, but also the color of body and interior can be customized. Whether for consumers who like retro or pay attention to individuality, looseness undoubtedly gives a brand-new choice. Of course, if we can support more personalized retro customization in the interior, this tonality will be more in place.
Retro sports cars may be more eye-catching works, but when it comes to models that can be accepted by more people, of course, MPV with more space is needed. So, looseness also brings ss? Summer.
Sharp-eyed fans probably blurted out: "Hey, this is Volkswagen T 1!" It is not difficult to see that the large-area two-color split design of the front makes this MPV cute in one second. Due to the power system with precursor structure, this SS? In summer, the front of the car is obviously longer than the original one, and the horizontal middle net is still retained under the front of the car, but under the classic design, it seems that there is no contradiction.
After all, to comply with modern safety regulations, the body structure should be strengthened, although SS? SUMMER adopts the same straight window line design as Volkswagen T 1, but the size of the window is inevitably not comparable to that of its predecessors. However, the external spare tire and expandable roof design are enough to make this new car one of the most unique MPVs.
The 8-seat design of 2+3+3 is adopted for the models on display. After installing the headrest, two independent seats in the back row can accommodate one more person, and the seats also support the rotating layout, which can meet more usage scenarios. The price of the new car is estimated at 280,000 ~ 360,000. Compared with the retro sports car, this retro MPV is not only more realistic in price, but also more practical in space, which may become the heart of more people.
In the booming car world, if the sales volume is used as the basis to judge the success of the works, it is estimated that these two new cars and loose locomotives will hardly top the sales list. However, these two cars can be regarded as a precedent in creating the diversity of automobile culture.
For classical car fans, time is the biggest enemy. I believe that on the basis of the classic appearance, with the resurrection of the new energy power system, there will still be many fans reluctant to pay for this product. Who will be the next "resurrection"? Let's wait and see.
