Let's start with the recent events. The last generation of Gust was born in 29, that is, more than ten years ago, which filled the market vacancy under the phantom, and the relatively compact body attracted more users. For Rolls-Royce, the manufacture of Gust was a very important step in that year, which provided a solid foundation for opening up the market. In addition, the official also conducted a survey of Gust owners. From the results, most of Gust users like to drive by themselves, which also makes up for the gap in the market of "Rolls Royce that can drive by itself".
What has changed about the new car? The most obvious change for the new model is the update of the platform. The brand-new luxury architecture is the same as Phantom and Cullinan, so many new technologies can also be used on the new Gust. For example, this should be the first time in Gust's history that four-wheel drive has appeared. All four wheels have better grip than only the rear wheels. What's more, this is a model with a V12 twin-turbo engine. The same four-wheel steering is also provided for the new Gust, which also makes this large luxury car more calm in the face of some unreasonable corner of the basement, instead of pacing back and forth and being urged by the car behind it. Of course, I think this function is the driver's favorite. After all, China users are more likely to sit in the back seat and enjoy comfortable seats or hold conference calls while watching PPT.

The data of 4, N m/is quite advanced, and the excellent results have also contributed to the better NVH of the whole car. By replacing the plane structure that is more prone to * * * vibration with a large number of double-layer structures, the composite damping sound insulation felt is filled between the double-layer structures, and the door, roof and tires are added. In the end, the weight of the sound insulation material exceeded 1kg, which achieved the designer's expected effect. Compared with the details of structural changes, which are too professional, the details that are visible but easy to ignore are also the key points that can be used to tell people. For example, the body of the new generation model has increased by 91mm and the width has increased by 5mm, but the wheelbase has not changed. This is also very understandable. The standard axle version has exceeded 5.5 meters and the long wheelbase version has exceeded 5.7 meters. It seems that there is no need to lengthen the wheelbase. The front of the car celebrates the new position of the goddess. The hood of the old model ends behind the goddess. In order to avoid this line, the hood of the new model extends directly to the front of the car, and this opening position is also very particular. Even if the goddess logo is raised, the hood can be opened smoothly. The Parthenon grille has also become a breakthrough for the new car to pursue details. You will find that the grille can give off soft light. This is certainly not the result of Athena's epiphany to fight Zeus, but the result of the designer putting 2 groups of LED strip into the grille. In order to make the details stand the test and the light is softer, materials that can reduce light reflection are specially painted on the back of the grille.
The top experience in the car. The new generation models follow the minimalist design concept, and do not show off the so-called sense of technology through grandiose design. Exquisite buttons are the kind of things that will not go out of date after the test of time. However, for the wooden interior without too much whitewashing, the designer has made some careful thoughts, such as adding fine aluminum grain texture to the wood, and the effect is of course high-grade. In addition to the advanced interior made of 2 groups of 338 pieces of leather, the starlight dashboard in front of the co-pilot side of the center console is a part you must be familiar with. When Phantom uses the element of "artistic treasure", it turns the center console into a display venue for the owner's artistic atmosphere. Now, the designer has implanted 152 LED light sources into the dashboard to achieve the effect of more than 85 stars. In addition, this soft starlight effect has been produced through 2mm thick light guide material and more than 9, laser etching points on the dashboard surface. In order to make this decorative panel not be worn out when it is not lit, or it will not have an abrupt feeling with the surrounding interior, the three-layer material eliminates this possibility. After laser etching, the piano paint base allows the optical fiber to penetrate the Ghost and nebula pattern, while the second layer of dark paint is responsible for being integrated with the interior when the lights are not lit, and the third layer is a layer of monochromatic high-gloss sealing paint with a thickness of .5mm, which is completely consistent with the high-gloss effect of other parts of the interior. Sitting in the back row, you may not be able to see the starry dashboard in the front row, but when you look up, the starry ceiling above your head can still calm your heart, and relying on the progress of technology, today's starry ceiling can cross the meteor, although it can't make a wish, but it is enough to relieve fatigue. Quiet is a compulsory course for Rolls-Royce, but for engineers, pure quiet is not the best result. In order to achieve a harmony of various sounds, the key to comfort is the harmony and unity of vibration frequencies. Air conditioning is usually the most noisy part, because when you adjust the maximum air volume, it will inevitably bring more noise. Above Gust, you can't feel the noise of the "fan" turning desperately when it is below the middle range, and even if it is adjusted to the maximum gear, the noise caused by the wind is controlled, and it will not be the kind of noisy rough noise. Engineers smoothed the inside of the air-conditioning duct and supplemented it with new filters, so that the air conditioner became quiet and brought fresher air, and the VIPs in the car relaxed enough to fall asleep. Of course, the noise reduction efforts don't stop there. Engineers have also paid attention to the trunk. After all, there is a few hundred liters of air there. A design that can make sound waves escape is added under the partition at the back of the rear seat, thus reducing the low-frequency vibration from the trunk. When the silence in the car has reached the epic level, what brand of stereo will you give Gust? Bao Hua Wei Jian or the Voice of Berlin? Rolls-Royce thinks it's still customized, so I can't see the brand trademark on the car stereo. As for the effect, I don't have much research on the stereo and don't have so many professional words to describe it, but in short, this stereo is very powerful.
although it is very big, it can also be very sharp. After switching from the rear row to the steering wheel, gently pull the handle twice gracefully, and the door will automatically open from the inside. Then, the door will automatically close by gently pressing the button on the door handle gracefully. This is also a new function handed down from the phantom, and another knowledge that can be used to show off to others is that Rolls-Royce has an elegant closing action in order to maintain any road inclination.

Even though the body weight has exceeded 2.5 tons, it can still be calm with the 8-speed automatic transmission, reaching the level that Rolls-Royce should have. The torque of the V12 engine gives people a feeling that it is not exhausted. It can run very fast, but you don't care too much about the boring data. Stepping on the accelerator pedal tells you how smooth and continuous the acceleration feels. Usually, you don't need to step down to improve the power. Just gently step on the accelerator pedal, Gust can improve the speed steadily and quickly. That's the charm of large displacement. The similar situation is like an electric car equipped with a high-power motor, but less. The magic carpet-like driving experience is a word that will be written every time Rolls-Royce is mentioned. The working state of the shock absorber is scanned in real time by electronic equipment, the road information ahead is checked by the camera for pre-judgment, and the gear of the gearbox is prepared in advance by satellite positioning. Together, Gust can fly on the highway like a magic carpet. In addition, this time, it has a new name, the flag-bearer system, just like the flag-bearer of a ship sailing in the sea, constantly waving flags to give instructions to the crew. The feeling of driving Gust with the steering wheel is wonderful. First of all, it is a huge factor that cannot be ignored. However, its performance when driving doesn't match its size. Four-wheel drive+four-wheel steering+various advanced suspension systems, the performance of this car on the highway is very impressive, that is, it won't make you lose control of the rhythm, and it won't feel like riding an elephant in the corner. It is stable and solid, and it can pass through the high-speed corner calmly and won't sway when merging lines, which is not like a 2.5-ton heavy car. Of course, all this happened on an empty road. I think once I return to a narrow mountain road or a crowded urban area, Gust will still show a sense of tension. So I found that Europeans prefer to drive by themselves. I think those car owners should drive from their own castles to another castles, and the road surface is wide enough to cross the aircraft carrier. Once the scene is changed to the congested urban area of London, car owners may realize the difficulty of working in minutes. In China, I think long-distance running is the only scene where you can drive by yourself, and with the underground parking lots in Beijing and downtown Shanghai, you may not get down, you may not get up, or you may get stuck in the middle. Only by letting the driver park at the door of the hotel or office building, waiting for the waiter to help you open the door, and you leave gracefully, is the most correct way for the driver to slowly drive away.
Editor's summary: My half-day experience of pretending to be a car owner ended with a brush. Soon, my experience is really limited for brands that stand at the top of the pyramid of all car brands and can overlook everything. I vaguely felt that I had driven Gust in my memory, but when I looked back, I found that I was actually driving the Phantom of the Opera, and it was really impossible to make a comparison between the two generations of Gust. However, for Rolls-Royce, the change is eternal, but the feeling for the owner is always above a high level. In recent years, the new technology in assisted driving and chassis system has provided a powerful weapon for the evolution of Rolls-Royce models. As Rolls-Royce officials say, "Everything is brand new in the new generation of Gust, except the goddess of celebration in the front of the car and the umbrella in the door", this sentence is suitable for the end of this article, and it is also suitable for you to make a refined summary when telling people around you.
