“What kind of car is this?”
“I’m not sure, I’ve never seen this emblem before, but… this insignia is fantastic.”
“Right? It must be some luxurious car? I expect it to cost millions.”
“Definitely. Would an ordinary car be shipped via an A380 plane? But I’ve really never seen this emblem before. It looks like a butterfly, doesn’t it? But the car…it’s so beautiful.”
The workers over there were discussing while carefully unloading the car from the elevator platform. In the process, some of them stealthily reached out to touch this car, which they might never see again in their lifetime. The sensation of touching it filled them with envy.
Finn Lewis’ car was brought down from the airplane. Fishy Wells went to handle the paperwork while he waited to receive the car. He couldn’t wait to drive it already. All the necessary customs procedures have been completed. Although the license plate application was yet to be handled, Finn had already delegated that task to Zero.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Earth, the higher-ups of the Flying Horse company again convened. Everyone was holding a document from the Graham Kingdom’s Ministry of Industry. It was an authorization document for the export of a car, the Goddess of Light! This was the first car produced— or better said, assembled— after Finn Lewis purchased the Hypercraft auto brand.
The materials for the second car had already arrived. Unlike the first car, the
second one came With only the most basic materials. The Interior decorations of the car required manual assembly, so it would take longer, about over a month. This one is a sports car. Even though the emblem is the same, the overall performance was not as extraordinary as Finn’s car. However, the ordinary workers wouldn’t know this, as they weren’t informed about all features of Finn’s car.
But even the features revealed so far were utterly inconceivable for the Flying Horse Company.
“Is this really true?” Wagner, the chief designer of the Flying Horse car manufacturing department, was dumbfounded as he held the document in his hands and asked.
“Yes, it’s true! Because this car has already been produced! And it has already been transported back to their home country by the young man from Flame Nation!” David Lancaster remarked calmly.
“How is this possible!” Wagner jumped up from his seat, “This…this is like a car from the future, no, it should be said, even future cars would not be able to achieve such performance. Almost all parts of the car can be patented.”
“In fact, they have already applied for all of them, including some important parts of the exterior design.” David Lancaster gave a bitter smile.
“This…” Wagner didn’t know what to say. He once again stared at the car’s data in his hand. The most attractive attribute was that it could reach a maximum speed of 300 mph! That’s about 480 km per hour. Even though this speed is high, top sports cars like Bugatti can achieve it. But could you tell me how it maintains a fuel consumption of only 3.6 liters per 100 kilometers while keeping such a huge speed? Can their engine achieve complete combustion?
But Wagner soon found out from the subsequent information. Actually, it was not so. This car was essentially a hybrid vehicle. It has electric drive capabilities and its body design contains solar panels, allowing it to have a cruising range of more than 2,000 kilometers, even with a 60 liter fuel tank capacity!
The efficiency of its solar panels exceeded all expectations. Actually, the actual data might even go beyond this! Even to the extent that if it is a sunny day, this car can run endlessly at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour just from the solar energy absorbed by the car body’s solar panels! Of course, this would only be possible on paved roads. If the road condition is bad, it would not be able to achieve this. But even so, isn’t it incredibly impressive?
What drove Wagner nearly insane was the car body’s evaluation. Its bullet-proof capacity actually surpassed that of most main battle tanks in various countries! Is this even a car?
Plus another mind-boggling feature. The temperature regulation system inside the car. According to the description, there’s a special material inside the car body that keeps the interior temperature between 10-35 degrees Celsius — a range that can be customized! More terrifying is that while maintaining the temperature inside the car, the car’s external temperature adaptation is between -70 to 100 degrees Celsius.
That means, as long as the external temperature of the car is within this range, the car can keep the interior at a comfortable temperature for human bodies without even starting the engine! What’s the need for air conditioning then? These are just the most basic features. There are countless others that put all other cars in the current market to shame. For instance, this car can recognize palm prints when the car door is opened. Which other car can do that?
“Thank goodness he only made this car for himself and too bad this car costs a fortune. Otherwise, our automobile companies would go bankrupt.” Wagner finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw the export price to the Flame Nation was 150 million South Federation currency. If the price of this car were in the same range as theirs, all other car companies might as well file for bankruptcy as there would be no competition.
“But in the luxury car market, if he starts selling this car, it will beat all other luxury cars to a pulp!” However, Wagner soon arrived at his own conclusion.
David Lancaster naturally agreed with Wagner’s view. The likes of Bugatti,
Quadriga Phantom… when faced with this car, they’d all pale in comparison. Talking about the price, honestly, those who can afford a Quadriga Phantom would definitely be able to afford a car like this. For those rich folks, riding in this car is no different than driving a tank. For the wealthy, this might be the most appearing point. Imagine having to choose Dervveen rms car ana me others. Which one would you go for? For those top-notch wealthy individuals, a price of 150 million South Federation coins is really not expensive!
Even David Lancaster himself was confident that if a car were to incorporate just one-third of this car’s technology, he would dare to sell that car at this price!
