As a hot pot lover, the high-risk period of the epidemic some time ago made me lose my direction. "There is no taste in my mouth" is believed to be the same feeling of many "foodies". Fortunately, most cities are gradually Slowly recover from the epidemic. Recently, the official Weibo of Haidilao Hotpot, a well-known hotpot restaurant chain in the country, announced that 85 of its restaurants in 15 cities have resumed business. This news made me and my friends very happy. Although Haidilao is not the top hot pot brand in my mind, its stable quality and high-level service that can be regarded as a model in the industry have made it the "hard currency" in the hot pot industry. .

Before I go to eat hot pot with my friends, I really want to talk about "hard currency". In the eyes of many Asian car fans, Japan's car culture is undoubtedly at the forefront. At that time, the four kings were the "hard currency" in the sports car world. They referred to Toyota Supra, Honda NSX, Nissan GT-R, and Mazda's RX-7. They all witnessed that crazy era, and then followed. For various reasons, these models disappeared for a while. However, with the comprehensive recovery of Japanese cars in recent years, they have gradually returned to our field of vision. This article will take a look at the current status of these legendary sports cars. (Sort by resurrection time)

Nissan GT-R

Judging from the time of resurrection, Nissan GT-R is undoubtedly the earliest one. The GT-R (R35), which debuted in 2007, was sold for 13 years. Although various versions have been launched, they are essentially one-generation models. Of course, the name "God of War" is really not a vegetarian. A 3.8T V6 turbocharged engine can let it face almost any European and American supercar. It was also the creator of a new record in New York. Fans can complain about it. The bad thing may be that the gearbox is not "strong" enough, but the price/performance ratio is really high. In recent years, news about the R36 version has been flying all over the sky, and it is estimated that it is not far away from us.

Honda (Acura) NSX

As a brand known as "buy an engine and get a car free", car fans have been clamoring for the resurrection of NSX. In previous years, Honda also used The improvement in sales in recent years has resulted in a new generation of NSX. However, compared to the previous positioning of a performance car, the NSX with the ACURA trademark is positioned as a super sports car. I believe there must be a reason for this being stimulated by the LFA next door. NSX still has Honda's "scientific and engineering man's urine characteristics": extremely high driving pleasure and cheap interior, coupled with a price of nearly 3 million, it can only be said that it is still a niche toy. But with the discontinuation of LFA and the aging of GT-R? (R35), NSX is currently the "backbone" of Japanese sports cars.

Toyota Supra

The first time I paid attention to Supra was the modified Supra driven by Paul Walker when watching Speed ??1. Later I learned that this car has been discontinued for many years. As Toyota's profitability improves, the new generation Supra will meet consumers around the world in 2019. Although the positioning is similar to before, what fans find hard to accept is that Supra actually copied the powertrain of BMW's new generation Z4, which also made it lose its former soul. From the perspective of reducing R&D costs, it is understandable. From the price point of view, Toyota's goal is also to make profits through volume. After all, the LFA, which was used to show off its skills, lost a lot of money. This generation of Supra has changed its previous shortcomings of "killing in corners", and with the perfectly matched powertrain, it can be regarded as an all-round improvement, but it only makes Toyota fans psychologically inferior to Nissan and Honda.

Mazda RX-7

Takahashi Ryosuke is my favorite character in Initial D. Of course, my love for RX-7 is also logical, plus Super 3 With the help of "Han", this car has also aroused the screams of many old Mazda fans. The call for resurrection is the highest among the four kings. Mazda has been releasing some news intentionally or unintentionally in the past few years: for example, a new longitudinal rear-wheel drive platform, the rotor will be resurrected in some form, etc. At the beginning of the year, Mazda officially announced a "retreat" for two years to allow a new generation of RX- 7 Resurrection has entered the countdown.
