“Fast and Furious” 9 has been released for a while, and the total box office has reached a terrifying 900 million. Fans’ obsession with the film is not only the addictive fighting scenes, but also the pictures of the protagonists driving. Most people do not want to own such a car, so that their lives are full of speed and passion. The model I will introduce to you today, although it does not have the performance of the racing class in the movie, it can also bring a qualitative improvement to your driving experience. It is the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L. Why is Don’s car omnipotent? Car power is the key. Although it does not have the “natural power” and various nitrogen boosters like the racing car in the movie, the power of the Peugeot 508L is absolutely outstanding in the same level. The 400THP version of Peugeot 508L is equipped with a 1.8T engine, equipped with an Aisin 8AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 211 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. This data performs well in turbines of the same displacement. It is worth noting that the power performance of Peugeot 508L is not limited to the output of the front stage, but while ensuring the acceleration in the early stage, it also takes into account the acceleration in the middle and rear stages. The 8AT gearbox will control the engine speed at about 3000 rpm and try to stay within the range of the maximum torque speed. More aggressive power tuning allows Peugeot 508L to exit corners at a faster speed. In addition, mountain road racing and commuting scenes have different emphasis on power. In mountain racing, the vehicle has more stringent requirements for the power connection of the transmission and the logic of shifting up and down, and the Aisin 8AT used by the Peugeot 508L can understand the driver’s intention very cleverly. Take a stroll in the garden, suspension is the key In the “Fast and Furious” series of films, the modification of the suspension is a project that both pros and villains are passionate about. When faced with complex mountain road conditions such as hairpin bends, the vehicle chassis is extremely important, and sufficient support must be provided to ensure high-speed cornering. The rear frame design of the Peugeot 508L is derived from the Peugeot 407. At the beginning of the design, it used the BMW 3 Series as the performance benchmark for sporty rear-wheel drive vehicles. The rear shock absorber and the upper end of the spring are connected to the sub-frame, which greatly improves the rigidity of the chassis. In terms of technology, all-aluminum casting is used to reduce weight while also taking into account high rigidity. The layout of the shock absorber is also very similar to the putter layout on a racing car. The angle between the shock absorber and the chassis is about 45 degrees, which can effectively support the lateral force during high-speed cornering. The subsequent five-link suspension is also unsurpassed in the same class. One of the five links is connected to the body and four are connected to the sub-frame. There are a total of 16 bushings between the entire rear suspension and the body. Filtering vibrations makes the chassis of Peugeot 508L far more solid and compact than ordinary cars in the same class. With such a high-strength and lightweight setting, even complicated hairpin bends, U-shaped bends, and continuous S-shaped bends can be easily resolved under the suspension system of the Peugeot 508L. Because of this, the Peugeot 508L can turn corners at a higher speed than the same class and smoothly intercept the traversing aircraft. Precise guidance, steering is the key In addition to power and chassis suspension, another point that is easy to overlook is the precise steering of the Peugeot 508L. Generally, for family cars, the steering setting of the steering wheel will inevitably have a margin of vacancy. For daily driving, the steering vacant position within a certain range is tolerable, but for racetracks and mountain roads that test vehicle performance, a slight vacant position may cause the driver to misjudge and fail to run the fastest cornering route. . The precise steering of Peugeot 508L truly interprets the strength of “referring to where to play”. Whether it’s persistent high-efficiency power, high-strength suspension, or precise steering that can be “precisely guided”, the success of the Peugeot 508L to intercept the traversing aircraft seems unexpected, but it is indeed reasonable. Even if you can’t own an off-road racing car in “Fast and Furious”, you can own a Peugeot 508L in life. On the Peugeot 508L, what we see is not only the beautiful appearance, but also the driving The improvement of experience. In this hot summer, Dongfeng Peugeot 508L can definitely bring changes to your daily life
