Wuling Hongguang S is always called the sacred car of Qiu Mingshan by car enthusiasts across the country. It can also be regarded as a star model. Many supercars like to label it with "Wuling Hongguang S" to show their personality. Among those real super sports cars, there is one model because the car logo is very similar to the Wuling logo, so when it is affixed with the Hongguang S logo, it is the real "Wuling Super Car".

It is the model I want to share with you today, the Chevrolet Corvette C7 from Guichao Luxury Car Club. It is said that there are only two C7s that can be legally driven on the road in Guangxi, one of which is in Liuzhou and the other in Nanning.

Chevrolet? Corvette (Chevrolet? Corvette) can be regarded as a legendary sports car in the history of automobiles, and it is also an American national treasure super sports car. From 1953 to now, eight generations have been launched, and each generation can become a classic. The seventh-generation Corvette was launched in 2014 and reused the "Corvette Stingray" name to pay tribute to the 1963 C2 Stingray. "Stingray" originally means "stingray", and many Corvette models more or less borrowed the flat streamlined lines of the stingray.

Although Corvette is not as well-known in China as Ferrari and Porsche, it is a national treasure supercar in the United States, representing American history, culture, spirit, and the most high-end automotive technology. In North America, Europe and other Western countries, Corvette is definitely a household name, and it is still the sports car that best represents the American spirit.

Corvette has been an independent car series under Chevrolet since its birth. It has its own car logo - two crossed flags as the basic elements, and the black and white checkered flag highlights Corvette's racing sports. Gene; the bow logo on the red flag shows the relationship between Corvette and Chevrolet, while the trophy and flowers represent the cheers after winning the championship. The Corvette logo and model have been updated simultaneously, and have also experienced 63 years of evolution.

Wild and atmospheric, informal, with bright colors, strong American muscle, compact streamlined body design, and a slender engine cover with plump lines, making it look extremely muscular.

The exquisite and compact rearview mirror and taillights have changed from the four round lights of the C6 to a polygonal shape. They are more public and less restrained, but the unchanged four exhaust pipes are still high-profile, and every detail is exquisite. Release boundless energy.

The Corvette C7 uses Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, with 245/40 ZR18 front wheels and 285/35 ZR19 rear wheels. The shiny mirror wheels have a strong American style

The blade-like shape on the side of the body adds a lot of impact to Stingray. This car also uses an aluminum frame body, which is 45kg lighter than the C6's body made of traditional steel materials, and its body strength is increased by 57%. At the same time, the application of carbon fiber hood and Doublebubble removable roof also further reduced the weight of this car by 17kg.

In terms of interior, compared to Ferrari, Lamborghini and other sports cars, the Corvette's configuration is obviously much more comfortable. The interior of the car is fully hand-stitched with genuine leather decoration, supplemented by a small amount of aluminum trim. Alcantara material is used near the A-pillar and sun visor. The level of sophistication is much better than the American sports cars we have previously imagined.

The steering wheel and interior are not very refined, but it is easy to be completely immersed in the driving experience it creates. All control keys are embraced by the center console, which is as compact as a fighter jet and very pleasing to the driver. The small-scale steering wheel, the magnesium alloy seats with excellent support, and the large-scale screen are all designed with luxury and comfort in mind. In terms of technological equipment, functions such as head-up display are also available.

The instrument panel has a clear display and a strong combat atmosphere. The LCD display in the center of the tachometer is powerful and can display information including vehicle fuel consumption, cruising range, oil life, road speed limit, and total engine operating time. .

The C7 has manual and automatic transmissions, and the one I actually photographed was the latter. There is also Corvette's checkered flag nameplate in front of the gear handle.

As a "civilian supercar", the Corvette C7 has an outrageous number of configurations.

I won’t say much about Bluetooth, 8-inch touch screen, etc. I won’t say much about head-up display and BOSE audio. This car actually has 8-way electric leather seats, seat ventilation and heating, which are very popular in supercars. A rare thing!

Corvette has always been famous for providing performance at a civilian price that is not inferior to the performance of European supercars with high prices, so it has the reputation of "civilian supercar". The C7 Stingray is a front-engine, rear-drive supercar equipped with a 6.2L V8 LT1 engine (this engine uses an OHV bottom camshaft, is equipped with in-cylinder direct injection, active fuel management, variable timing valves, etc. technology), with a maximum power of 335kW and a peak torque of 610N·m. It has been awarded Ward’s Top Ten Engine Awards in 2014 and 2015. With its blessing, the C7 can accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in 4 seconds.

This engine does not blindly increase the displacement, nor does it adopt the international practice of "adding turbines to reduce emissions". It retains the American style and does not disregard the environment. This engine is too It's endearing. If the power is not enough, there is also the Z06 model, which uses a 6.2L supercharged engine with 660 horsepower and 881 Nm.

In fact, the price of Corvette in the United States is very affordable, so it is also called the "Ferrari for the common people." But after it was imported into China, due to various reasons, it was still worth around 1.5 million yuan. At the same time, because its popularity is not as high as that of brands such as Porsche and Ferrari, its ownership is not high. When it appears on the street, perhaps only men will give him a look of concern and shout - this is a Corvette!

Then the question is, what kind of people will choose to buy it? Uncle Che had a chat with the owner of this Corvette C7, and as expected, it was because of his feelings and he didn’t like to follow the crowd—this answer was very Corvette-like.
