Hongqi H9 officially rolled off the production line. As the flagship model of Hongqi H series, it is positioned as a medium to large sedan. According to previous information, pre-sales of the new car will begin on July 15. Hongqi H9 will provide a mild hybrid system composed of a 2.0T 48V electric motor and a 3.0L supercharged engine. The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 252 horsepower and a peak torque of 380 N·m; the 3.0L supercharged engine has a maximum power of 272 horsepower. , with a peak torque of 400 N·m. Both engines are matched with a 7-speed DCT dual-clutch gearbox, and the new car will only be available in a rear-drive version.

——This 6-cylinder engine is a bit weak, and with the extra weight, the power advantage is almost offset.

02

In the first half of 2020, the cumulative sales volume of Ideal ONE was significantly ahead of new energy medium and large SUVs (including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, pure electric, plug-in Program Electric), its total sales in the first half of the year were 9,666 units, accounting for 46% of the total sales of the top ten, and its cumulative sales since delivery in December last year reached 10,677 units.

——Ideal sales are actually acceptable, and optimizing some areas can increase the user experience.

03

The BMW iX3 will make its online debut in Munich, Germany at 10:00 Central European Daylight Time on July 14 (16:00 on July 14, Beijing time). The new car is scheduled to be officially mass-produced this summer at the Dadong Factory in Shenyang, China, with an annual production capacity of 40,000 units, and will be sold in specific markets around the world except the United States. The new car uses BMW's fifth-generation eDrive powertrain, equipped with an electric motor with a maximum power of 286 horsepower (210 kilowatts) and a peak torque of 400 Nm, and uses rear-wheel drive. In terms of battery life, the car has a battery capacity of 74kWh and a comprehensive cruising range of 440km under WLTP operating conditions.

——If the actual cruising range is not much different, it is still quite competitive.

A good car is inseparable from an excellent braking system. Recently, Italian high-performance braking system manufacturer Brembo announced that it will produce two-piece 4-piston aluminum front calipers and dual-material cast floating brake discs for Polestar 2. The Polestar 2 brake calipers adopt a design method called "Stile" and combine it with a simple style, thus giving birth to this unique braking system. The caliper's low-drag design prevents the brake pads from dragging on the disc, resulting in low noise and reduced rolling resistance. The dual-material cast floating brake disc is made of cast iron and aluminum, which reduces the weight by 15-20%, while providing higher driving comfort, stronger corrosion or wear resistance, and better braking performance.

——There is nothing to say about the braking system manufactured by Brembo. It all depends on Polestar’s subsequent adjustments.

05

The new Haval H6 interior preview has been released. The new car adopts a new design language and looks more fashionable overall. According to previous information, the new car will be mass-produced in July and is expected to be officially launched in August. The center console of the new car uses a more straight-line design as a whole, with a prominent sense of layering. At the same time, the new car uses a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, combined with a full LCD instrument and a 12.3-inch central control LCD screen, making the new car full of technology. The new generation H6 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine model GW4B15A, with a maximum power of 169 horsepower.

——The interior has finally caught up with the pace, and I hope the powertrain matching can be better.

06

The GAC Mitsubishi new energy vehicle project officially started construction in Changsha, Hunan. The company's new R&D center building was also successfully completed. GAC Mitsubishi's local R&D has entered a new stage of development. This new energy vehicle project will launch the first new energy model jointly developed by GAC Group and Mitsubishi Motors, and is scheduled to be officially mass-produced in 2021. It is reported that the new model will adopt international styling and design, and will also have electrification and intelligent network connectivity features. GAC Mitsubishi will give full play to the advantages of localized production and manufacturing and break the traditional joint venture model of "market for technology".

——The new energy market is unavoidable but not easy to do.

Some foreign media have drawn renderings of Toyota's new pure electric SUV. We have previously reported on its patent drawings. The car will be based on Toyota's e-TNGA architecture. According to previous news, the new car is expected to be officially launched in 2022. According to Toyota's plan, starting from 2020, the brand will launch 10 pure electric models within five years, including 6 global models based on the e-TNGA architecture. Foreign media have not drawn renderings of Toyota's other mid-to-large pure electric SUV, but judging from previous patent drawings, the front faces of the two vehicles use a very similar design language, but the body size is quite different. According to current news, Toyota's two pure electric SUVs may be equipped with power battery packs with a capacity of about 50kWh-100kWh, and the cruising range may be about 300km-600km.

——Toyota’s electric vehicles are mainly weak in power and driving experience, and future electric vehicles need to strengthen this aspect.

Overseas media have photographed a group of new Maserati Ghiblibli plug-in hybrid models that will be unveiled at 1:00 pm Central European Time on July 16 (Beijing time on July 16 19:00), and then it will be launched in the Chinese market in the form of cloud release on July 17 and the price will be announced. The biggest change in the new Maserati Ghibli is the addition of a hybrid powertrain, but officials have not announced details. According to previously taken spy photos, there is a 2.0-330HP engine label on the windshield of the spy photos. We speculate that the new car may use a hybrid system composed of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor. The maximum power of the engine is 335 HP. horsepower.

——After a facelift over the years, the appearance has not changed much, but the 2.0T plug-in hybrid version will lower the price to a certain extent.

09

The unfalsified spy photos of the AMG GT Black Series model have been released. This is also the first complete exposure of the highest performance version of the AMG GT. The AMG GT Black Series models are significantly different from the existing AMG GT models in terms of overall appearance design. The new car adopts a new wide-body surround design and adds more aerodynamic kits. The front face of the new car has also been designed with additional aerodynamic components such as air knives, air deflectors and front lips. It is boldly speculated that more active aerodynamic kits will appear on the AMG GT Black Series. According to previously reported news, the new car will be equipped with a newly tuned 4.0T V8 twin-turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 711 horsepower and a peak torque of 800 Nm. This power data is higher than that of the AMG GT R. It has a power output of 126 horsepower and a peak torque of 100 Nm.

——Obviously, this car is aimed at the GT2?RS.

According to overseas media reports, the design patent of the Ferrari 250 GTO has expired due to a long period of non-use. At the same time, a design company called Ares Design from Modena is about to launch a replica of the 250 GTO model. In the early 1960s, Ferrari launched the Ferrari 250 GTO sports car, of which only 39 were produced. It won many international events and was known as one of the most successful racing brands of that era. In 2008, Ferrari renewed the trademark for the 250? GTO to prevent the model's design from being imitated by other businesses in the future. At present, although Ferrari has lost the design patent for the 250? GTO model, the 250? GTO design patent on toy cars and car models is still valid. It is not clear whether Ferrari will appeal this decision.

——The 250? GTO can be regarded as one of the symbols of Ferrari. Coupled with the extremely small production volume, it is destined to have an astonishing market price.
