Experience the dynamic stability of the Asian Dragon in 9 extreme events

  From the end of 2018 to the present, during the months-long warm-up process, we have witnessed many highlights in the design, craftsmanship, power, chassis and other aspects of the FAW Toyota Asian Dragon. Now, FAW Toyota has moved this model from the "static display" stage to the "dynamic test drive" stage.

  A few days ago, at the Ningbo International Circuit, we took the Asian Dragon to the track and experienced its core strength under the TNGA architecture from nine extreme test events.

  Before introducing the track performance of the Asian Dragon, let’s talk about the main highlights that TNGA gives this model. First, let’s take a look at the design of the Asian Dragon. Although design is more about appearance, it also plays a crucial role in the power performance of a car. The best combination of design and power is wind resistance.

  According to the introduction, the drag coefficient of the Asian Dragon is 0.27, which is quite advantageous for a family car positioned in the B + category. And from the optimization of its appearance design, we can also clearly feel the aerodynamic characteristics of this model.

  For example, there are "side air curtains" on both sides of its front face that are more conducive to air circulation, and the swooping waist line of the body and the triangular window designed at an acute angle all add a lot to its sense of speed. In addition, in order to reduce wind resistance and wind noise, the designer has raised parts on the rearview mirror and tail light of the Asian Dragon. The details are practical and exquisite.

  In addition to creating a "sense of speed" in the design, the real test of the dynamic performance of the Asian Dragon is the engine, chassis, steering system, etc. hidden in the car.

  During the course of the track test drive, in order to test the handling stability, acceleration, and comfort of the Asian Dragon, the organizers specially set up 9 extreme test drive projects: unequal distance pile winding, medium speed pile winding, high-speed corners, dual-lane lane change, acceleration-deceleration braking, bumpy road sections, quietness, electronic power steering, and lane deviation.

  Among them, in the unequal distance pile winding link, based on the low center of gravity body design, coupled with the brisk and accurate pointing electronic steering system, the Asian Dragon can easily pass at a speed of less than 20km/h. In the medium speed pile winding link, also with the low center of gravity and a good front-to-rear counterweight ratio, the driver can drive the Asian Dragon at a speed of 40km/h through the obstacle pile bucket spaced 40 meters apart. At the same time, during the test, the vehicle steering is accurate, flexible, and the roll is small, so that the driving comfort and stability achieve the best balance.

  As we all know, the faster the vehicle is driving, the greater the centrifugal force will be generated. With the blessing of the high-stiffness body, the Asian Dragon has good torsional stiffness, providing excellent and stable lateral support for the vehicle. When we drive the Asian Dragon at high speed, we can clearly feel the support force of the vehicle and the stability it brings to the vehicle.

  In the acceleration-braking process, the high compression thermal efficiency of the TNGA engine of the Asian Dragon gasoline version is 40%, and the thermal efficiency advantage of the hybrid model is 41%. The vehicle not only starts and accelerates smoothly and quickly, but also has a very sensitive and precise braking response. In the emergency braking operation, the body leans forward very gently. Overall, the handling is stable and the ride is comfortable.

  In addition, in the process of simulating the quietness of high-speed driving, when the vehicle is driving on long-distance straights at a speed of 100km/h, the comprehensive noise reduction design effect of the vehicle is very outstanding, and the fetal noise and wind noise in the car are small, and the mute effect is very good. According to reports, this is due to the low wind resistance of the Asian Dragon 0.27 body and various noise reduction measures taken in key parts: for example, the front engine cover is equipped with a sound absorber, the fender is equipped with a divider, the door area has a resin repair hole cover and sound insulation glass, the cabin frame beam has foam and shock absorption materials, the floor has a shock absorption coating, the floor has a muffler pad, etc. The completely flat chassis has a large area of cover, which also greatly optimizes the NVH of the cockpit.

  In the last part of the track test drive, we came to the bumpy road surface, and the purpose of the organizer to set up this session is to test whether the suspension adjustment of the Asian Dragon meets the user’s comfort requirements. After the test drive, it was found that when the vehicle passes through the bumpy road at a speed of 30km/h, the AVS adaptive variable suspension equipped with the gasoline version of the Asian Dragon can perform real-time damping control for rough road sections. Each suspension can adjust the damping and rebound damping force to ensure the stability and high comfort of the vehicle when driving on bumpy road sections. The hybrid version of the Asian Dragon is equipped with a high-potential TNGA new rear suspension double fork arm structure, which can greatly reduce the impact and road input of the vehicle on bumpy road surfaces, and improve the fatigue resistance of the vehicle body.

  Judging from the performance of this track test drive, with the support of the low center of gravity body design, the Asian Dragon has achieved a perfect balance of speed and stability. In addition, the high-sensitivity shock absorption system (AVS) equipped in some gasoline models makes the Asian Dragon’s driving comfort significantly better than that of its peers. At the same time, its excellent performance in steering, braking and chassis makes driving easier and full of pleasure.

  As a B-class product based on TNGA, the Asian Dragon maintains the "Toyota" characteristics in handling, but also further upgrades in driving stability and comfort. In terms of its dynamic performance, FAW Toyota regards it as a "flagship" product, which may be reasonable. The competitiveness of the Asian Dragon in terms of driving quality may refresh users’ awareness of B-class cars. (Author: Feng Cool)

CRRC Exclusively Exposes New Maiteng "First Crash" (Photos)

  On July 27, on a national road in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, the new Maiteng had a "first collision" the day before it went on sale.

  It is reported that at that time, FAW-Volkswagen was organizing a dealer’s test drive and training on the new Maiteng, and a dealer’s test drive personnel were inattentive. When they turned over the pile at a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, the right side crashed into the mountain next to the national highway. Due to the speed, the front of the car was thrown to the right and the rear bumper was knocked off.

  Fortunately, at the moment of impact, the new Maiteng 8 airbag was fully deployed, effectively protecting the driver and two passengers, who were only frightened and not injured.

  In this impact, the right side of the new Maiteng’s head was damaged, scratched many times, the engine cover was tilted up, and the rear bumper was surrounded and knocked off, but the door could still be opened, and the vehicle could still be exercised. I have to lament the excellent safety quality of the new Maiteng, and also remind everyone to pay attention to driving safety and not to be distracted.

"My Agent Grandpa" reveals new trailer, Samuel Hung saves Loli’s bravery and invincibility


    1905 movie network news Directed and starred by Hong Jinbao, the film produced and specially starred by Andy Lau will be released nationwide on April 1. A few days ago, the film released a "heavy attack" version of the trailer. In the trailer, Hong Jinbao is strong and close combat is lethal, but in addition to the halo label of "retired old agent" and "Central Security Bureau", "agent grandfather" also shows a surprising "cute" side.

    Along with the trailer, there is also a set of character relationship posters. "Agent Grandpa" Hong Jinbao, "Prodigal Son Father" Andy Lau, and the rebellious and naive little girl Chen Peiyan are naturally the "strength responsibility" of the film. The three "old urchins" of Xu Ke, Mai Jia, and Shi Tian have become the "comedy responsibility" of the film; Zhu Yuchen, Feng Jiayi, Hu Jun, Feng Shaofeng, Peng Yuyan, and Yuan Biao six stylish men collectively become the "appearance responsibility". All the big coffee people support "Agent Grandpa" and conquer the audience with their strength, acting skills, and appearance.


Hong Jinbao exposes that "if you can play, you can act better"


    In "Hong Jinbao", he plays a retired agent Lao Ding. Although he is over 60 years old, his physical fitness is still better than that of many young people. But what stands in sharp contrast to his vigorous skills is his inadvertent "cute" character. In the trailer, Lao Ding uses the secret agent’s stunt when unlocking the lock, but forgets that the house key is hanging around his neck, but the landlord’s aunt Li Qinqin’s expression during the conversation is also embarrassed and a hint of shyness. At the end of the trailer, the little girl Chen Peiyan points out the fact that the landlord loves him, and the shot of Hong Jinbao spitting out a mouthful of water also makes the audience shout "This grandpa is so cute".


"Agent Grandpa" comes with black humor, and Tsui Ke Maijia Shitian transforms into "comedy responsibility"

    In the trailer exposed this time, Feng Shaofeng plays a doctor who is doing a health check for Lao Ding played by Hung Jinbao. He first diagnoses worriedly, "The liver is not very good, it’s a little hard, the kidney is not very good, let’s cut it, and the heart is not good…" Then he changes the wind and says, "Just kidding, your body is better than many young people." While relieved, he can’t help but smile. When the little girl chatted, he said, "Lao Ding, are you the most powerful old man in the world?" After Hung Jinbao blew up all his opponents, he casually responded, "What do you think?"

    The three all-rounder seniors, Tsui Hark, Maijia, and Shi Tian, this time became "comedic responsibility" in the movie, playing the three most "ordinary" old men, sitting on the street all day chatting about mountains and gossiping, which is quite funny; especially Tsui Hark, although he did not say a word in the trailer, his style and expression formed a strong "contrast" with the daily serious and domineering director image.

    "My Agent Grandpa" co-starred Hong Jinbao, Andy Lau, Zhu Yuchen, Li Qinqin, Feng Jiayi, Chen Peiyan, Hu Jun, Feng Shaofeng, Peng Yuyan, Song Jia, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Yuanbiao, Yuanqiu, Yuanhua, Yuanting and Yuanbao. The film will be released in major theaters on April 1.

Russia’s "dumbest agent" raced to post photos to expose his identity and was sent to the frontier

  According to the British "Daily Mail" report, on July 3, a group of black Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles appeared on the streets of Moscow, rumbling on the streets and swaggering in a majestic manner. The teenagers in the car could not hide their excitement, and they were frantically honking horns, waving frantically, and taking pictures. Shockingly, these were 50 students who had just graduated from the foreign intelligence department of the spy academy of the Russian Federal Security Service. After the incident was exposed by the media, these students were recently "sent", and most of them were sent to the Chukota region and the more remote Kamchatka Peninsula.

  What did you do?

  They rented all the Mercedes SUVs and took up all the lanes on the streets of Moscow

  They kept honking and whistling, and some of them were very excited to stick their heads out the window to take pictures and cheer, attracting attention

  They also hired a professional photographer to document every moment of the "celebration"

  They posted all the photos and videos they took that day online

  Exile

  Chukota region

  The Chukota region is half within the Arctic Circle, close to Alaska in the United States. It is located on a high-latitude plateau and is covered with snow and ice all year round

  ● Kamchatka Peninsula

  Kamchatka Peninsula is located in the Russian Far East, sparsely populated and largely undeveloped

  Wild celebration

  Driving an off-road vehicle, photos and videos are posted online

  On July 3, a group of black Mercedes-Benz SUVs appeared on the streets of Moscow as a graduation celebration for 50 students who had just graduated from the Foreign Intelligence Department of the Russian Federal Security Service’s spy academy.

  The video footage at that time showed that they rented all Mercedes-Benz SUVs and occupied all the lanes on the streets of Moscow, constantly honking and whistling, and some people were very excited to stick their heads out of the window to take pictures and cheer, attracting the attention of many people.

  They were just on the road, blocking the cars behind them all at once, suddenly increasing the accelerator all at once. In addition, they also hired a professional photographer to document every moment of the "celebration".

  Afterwards, these graduates posted all the photos and videos they took that day on the Internet, and the videos were also accompanied by music. Subsequently, this situation was exposed by the media.

  According to reports, the 50 agents graduated from the Foreign Intelligence Division. In the past four years, they have learned foreign languages for intelligence acquisition, combat, military theory, reconnaissance skills, decryption skills, and counter-intelligence skills. Usually, if you have to make a public appearance, you either play mosaic or wear a headgear. If people come out of this place can really face the world with a straight face, there are generally only two reasons – death or retirement.

  Official outrage

  Federal Security Service:

  Students will be severely punished

  The incident alarmed Russia’s Kremlin, and Russia’s Federal Security Service issued a stern statement on the matter: "This is the first time that students of the spy academy under the Security Service have held such a celebration that has aroused public anger. They rent luxury vehicles, cause public dissatisfaction on the streets, and seriously violate the professional ethics of agents. We cannot tolerate it. These students will be severely punished."

  In a statement, the intelligence service strongly condemned the students’ "disorderly behavior," and Mikhailov, a retired senior intelligence official, directly called it "treason" and "outright betrayal."

  "For four years, they have been learning all kinds of intelligence knowledge, especially never revealing their identities," Mikhailov said. "So grandiose, so arrogant. If this is their work attitude, they can’t do anything well."

  According to reports, after these agents graduated, they had already been assigned tasks. The Russian Security Service gave the 50 agents two options: to leave automatically or to be sent to the frontier.

  The vast majority of the spies chose to be sent to the frontier, where they will be stationed in the Chukota region just across the strait from Alaska and the more remote Kamchatka Peninsula. The leadership of the spy academy will face disciplinary action over the matter, with several leaders demoted and others asked to resign. Reuters analysis said that the 50 would-be agents apparently did not learn even the most basic skill – concealment of identity.

  What is the Russian Federal Security Service?

  The Federal Security Service (FSB) is Russia’s local intelligence agency responsible for domestic affairs. It is the successor organization of the Cheka, secret police, and KGB during the former Soviet era. It is currently headquartered in Moscow’s Lubyanka Square. The Lubyanka Square was the seat of the former Soviet KGB.

  On June 20, 1996, Yeltsin appointed Mikhail Ivanovik Peskov as the first director of the FSB, and Nikolay Kobaleov as his successor. The former KGB became the current Russian Federal Security Service. Current Russian President Vladimir Putin was the director of the FSB from July 1998 to August 1999.

  In order to prevent terrorists from attacking the country’s important military and civilian facilities and citizens, Putin has completely restructured the Federal Security Service. While fulfilling the responsibility of defending the country’s borders, the Federal Security Service’s ability to combat espionage, transnational crime, illegal immigration, drug and arms smuggling has been greatly improved.

  At present, the establishment of the Federal Security Service is 300,000, and its organizational scale and status are approaching that of the former "KGB", especially the "α coefficient" and "signal flag" special forces under its jurisdiction have made great achievements in anti-terrorism operations in recent years, which has made the Federal Security Service famous.
