"Vixen?" Li Du asked. "I think it's a ferocious beast."
Hans nodded and said, "Of course, you can tell from its name. Hellcat, buddy. This is Dodge's signature beast!"
If the Germans were the best at making cars in the world, then the Americans were the best at playing with cars.
The best car manufacturing technology was in Germany, but when it came to real car culture, it had to be in the United States. They could be said to be the best in this area.
As the first country to popularize family cars, the American car culture had its own distinct characteristics. Aggressive, passionate, and unrestrained spirit were the soul that the Americans had infused into their car culture.
The most representative model was, of course, the American muscle car.
However, muscle cars were a little useless. Everyone liked them, but most people could not afford them. They were too heavy, had too much displacement, too high power, and consumed too much fuel. Unfortunately, they were not practical.
Therefore, as time passed, muscle cars began to slowly evolve and change. Many models began to use smaller turbocharged engines to reduce the price and cost of driving.
The Dodge Challenger was one of the most classic American muscle cars. Li Du had his eyes on the flagship model, the SRT Hellcat.
"Similar to other American car series, the Challenger has a dazzling variety of models. The Hellcat is the most explosive of them all.
"Even if it's just one type of Hellcat, it's also divided into four series. The difference is the engine. The first series has a 3.6L, 305 horsepower Pentastar V6 naturally aspirated engine.
Carlos pointed to the car beside him. "This car is the first series of Hellcat. What do you think? Isn't it awesome?"
Li Du stroked the car and asked, "What about the other series?"
"The other three series are 5.7L, 375 horsepower HEMI naturally aspirated V8 engine, 6.4L, 485 horsepower HEMI naturally aspirated V8 engine, and the Super Hellcat. It has a 6.2L HEMI supercharged V8 engine. Do you know how much horsepower it has? 717 horsepower! "
Hans said excitedly, "Choose the fourth series, the Super Muscle Car, a 717 horsepower super muscle car!"
High horsepower meant high speed. Li Du did not know how much horsepower the cars on the F1 track had, but 717 horsepower was definitely the most powerful engine he had ever seen.
This made him a little tempted, but he also felt hesitant. The 717's horsepower was too high, and it could easily be dangerous.
At the side, Carlos continued to introduce the series of cars. "The term Hellcat originated from the US Navy's carrier-based fighter F6F during World War II. Because the US was involved in World War II, the F4F Wildcat was no match for the Japanese's Type Zero …"
"As for the Hellcat, as an improved model of the Wildcat, it made great contributions during the middle and late stages of World War II. The name Hellcat became a nickname that represented might and power in the United States. The flagship model of the Dodge Challenger borrowed the name of this fighter to publicize the brutal power of this muscle car …"
"Think about it, buddy. It has a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine. Its maximum power is 717 horsepower, and it has a terrifying torque of 881 Nm. Do you know how long it takes to accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometers per hour? 3.8 seconds! "
"Turn off the ESP. This guy can easily drift by burning the tires. It's not a pony, not a Wildcat, it's a Hellcat. I bet it's the most powerful muscle car in the United States!"
"The Hellcat belongs to the Dodge Challenger, but not all Challengers can be called Hellcats. A man should have a car like this!"
Hearing this, Li Du sighed. "I admit, buddy, I'm tempted by what you said. Then let's go take a look at this car."
"The Ultimate Hellcat with 717 horsepower?"
"Yes!"
This car was very famous, but it burned a lot of fuel. It was not very popular in Phoenix. After all, with the current economic downturn, unless one was a rich second-generation heir, very few people could afford this kind of muscle car.
The car dealership also only had one Ultimate Hellcat. It was placed in the center of the muscle car exhibition area. The dark body of the car was surrounded by lights, giving it a domineering look.
"This car's length is 5,020 millimeters, its width is 1,900, and its height is 1,450. Its wheelbase is an astonishing 2,946. In terms of length and wheelbase, even off-road vehicles have to give way! "
Carlos took out a very exquisite storage bag as he introduced the car. He opened the bag, and inside was a manual that introduced the car.
Li Du opened the car door and sat in the car. The car seat was made of comfortable real leather wrapped with memory foam. There was also a layer of fur on the exterior, and the texture was invincible.
He put both hands on the steering wheel, and then noticed that the car had two keys. He asked, "Why are there two keys?"
Hans laughed. "The Hellcat has two keys. If you use the red key to start the engine, its maximum horsepower is 500. But if you turn the black key, buddy, then you really open the door to hell!"
"The black key can start 700 horsepower?" he asked.
Carlos nodded. "Yes, but I think unless you want to play big, 500 horsepower is enough, right?"
After listening to the introduction, Li Du started to test the car.
There was a test area behind the dealership. Hans fought to go and test the car. He said, "This car is too dangerous, Li. Let me try it out. You take a look first."
Li Du squinted at him and said, "Since this car is very dangerous, why don't we not buy it?"
Hans immediately smiled and said, "Buy, buy, buy. You test the car, I'll take a look."
Li Du nodded in satisfaction. He sat in the car and drove to the starting point. Someone came over and said, "Don't exceed 100 miles per hour. If the driver causes any damage, the driver has to bear the consequences, okay?"
“OK！”
“GO！”
The car was automatic. Li Du put it in gear and did not care about it anymore. He stepped on the accelerator, and the pointers on the dashboard in front of him began to spin wildly. The car shot out with a whoosh!
It shot out, not ran out. Li Du only felt a strong push, and the car had already shot out.
Subconsciously, he activated the "Time Deceleration" ability. This way, he could finally react, and then he controlled the car to run freely.
A speed of 100 miles per hour was child's play for this car. It was fast and steady, and the sound of the engine was clear and loud.
When the other people who were testing the car saw him driving it, they all gave way to him and applauded. Some even took out their cameras to take pictures.
This made Li Du very satisfied. After driving for two rounds, he got out of the car and said, "Okay, I'll buy this car."
