Question Box Digest Part 7 -Daddy's Car-

This is Maezawa, who often answers in the question box.

In the past, everyone bought a good car
Even if you can't buy it, this kind of car looks cool.
It was a hot topic.

As for domestic cars, Toyota's Soarer was famous as a "high socar".
3nd generationhonda preludeSomething was famous as "Nanpaka".
(Actually, it was a category called specialty car)

By the way, I don't think there are many people who know why Prelude was a pick-up car, so I'll write it down.

What is a special function that people in the know know? (laughs)

passenger seatDriver sidehas a reclining knob, allowing the driver to easily fold down the front passenger seat.
I mean, this developer is too amazing, what kind of idea are you thinking?
Could it be that you were having trouble defeating it?
It was a great piece of equipment.

When you feel good about driving
Park your car in a place with a beautiful night view
The driver can easily fold down the female seat in the passenger seat. (smile)

I know a man who bought this car and a woman who was in the passenger seat.
Only the woman who heard the story
I don't think so.

For some reason, I don't think there was such a discussion among men.
Even so, I often get the feeling that the person in charge of development gave the OK for this kind of equipment.

By the way, Prelude is working hard mechanically as well.
It seems to be particular about making the height of the front the same as Ferrari. (smile)

It's natural for a Ferrari without an engine in the front to lower the bonnet.

If there is an engine in the front, it is necessary to put a mission as well.
In the case of FF (front-engine front-wheel-drive), which naturally requires a driveshaft because it is driven from the front, it is difficult to lower the bonnet because there are too many things to put on the front.

But stick to stick.Honda is a great company. (Past tense for some reason)

Furthermore, the world's first mechanical 4WS
It is amazing that the direction of the rear tires also changes.

When the steering angle is small, turn the rear wheels in the same direction as the steering wheel.
If the steering angle increases, the rear wheels will turn in the opposite direction. It would be easy with electronic control, but it's amazing how this can be achieved with just the mechanics.
It's elaborate.

By the way, demonstrating great power on snowy roads
Even if you are wearing winter tires (such as studless tires),
If you drive into an intersection at overspeed, you will not be able to turn even if you turn the steering wheel. (smile)
It is a beginner who thinks that turning the steering wheel will turn.

It is common that only the area near the front tire intersection becomes an ice burn.
If you rush into such an intersection at normal speed, you will not turn even if you turn the steering wheel.
In the case of a normal car, I give up and go straight through the intersection with the turn signal on (laughs)
In this car, when the steering wheel is turned wide, the rear wheels also turn in the opposite phase.You can use the rough business.

If you use this technique, it's a magical item that mysteriously allows you to turn normally at intersections that shouldn't be possible.
It's a story that only people who drive in snow country every day can understand.

The introduction became longer

Universe Official Anonymous Question BoxThe following question came to

"I'm sorry that this has nothing to do with the dating club, but what's the difference between a car parked beside a luxury hotel and a car taken to the parking lot?'

Judging from the responses of the respondents

When a member stays at the hotel, it will be parked in front of the entrance (if you place it next to it).
(It seems that even light cars can be parked, but it seems that the side using it will not be sideways.)

Even if you are not a member, you can choose the service when you stay on a certain floor.

If the car is a luxury car (including classic cars), it will be placed in the front to prevent mischief.

Some hotels have contracts with car dealers in order to raise the quality of the hotel by leaving luxury cars. (not the guest's car)

It seems like.
There was such a secret.

I thought it was useful~~~

from female respondents

"My dad, who I'm dating, was the kind of person who would just lay down.
It seems that he said that he would be leaving soon for work, but he seems to be a good customer because he has stayed a lot so far.It seems to be quite flexible.

By the way, I have driven Rolls-Royce Phantom, Porsche Cayenne, Slope, Audi A7, and many other cars.After all, it is a luxury car.”

The answer is...

Nanu~~~
I envy you too much (laughs)

rolls royce phantom

If it is a new model that appeared in 2018
Phantom's normal model is 5460 million yen,
The body price of the extended wheelbase is 6540 million yen.
In addition, optional charges will be added.
It's too amazing when the name of this car comes out.

If you think that this kind of car is slow anyway, you are wrong.
The powerful 6.75LV 12-cylinder twin-turbo engine
571 hp.Torque is 91.8kg·m from just 1700 rpm.

In the past, there was an image that it was expensive but slow, but now that kind of thing is not allowed, and the engine is equipped with an engine with the same power as a sports car.

Times have changed. (smile)

next name isporsche cayenne?
Recently, the smart RV-like car category is called SUV, but I think it originally started with Toyota's Harrier.

But the big difference is that in the case of Japanese cars, they didn't have a lot of engines, or rather, they have engines for ordinary passenger cars.
In the case of Cayenne, it is Uri that it is equipped with the same engine as Porsche, the sports car 911.

Even with Japanese cars, I would like to have such a car, but in Japan where prices have not risen for over 20 years, such ideas may not come out anymore.

4000 yen for Cayenne turbo (1,937.2cc)
It produces 550 horsepower and a torque of 78.50 kgf・m at 1960 rpm.

nextSlope?
Is it a Benz slope?

It seems that there was a limited edition car with matte paint,
A certain male member came to Ebisu.
You didn't know it was a limited edition car, did you purposely paint it matte?
If you ask me, it's a limited car ... (laughs)

I call myself a car enthusiast, but luxury cars were out of my scope.

Mercedes AMG G63 Edition Matt Black
The price is 2320 million yen (including consumption tax)
4.0L V8 direct injection twin turbo
585PS, torque 86.68kgf・m.
The AMG chain is not dated.

By the way, the popularity of this car seems to be skyrocketing recently, and it seems like the secret to its popularity is that it uses a sturdy frame similar to a full-fledged recreational vehicle.
I can't imagine rich people running off-road (wasteland)
I don't see any super forest roads in Japan these days, and they're all paved roads, so I think any frame will do. (If there is only lower clearance, it can be done in an emergency)

nextAudi A7... I'm glad it wasn't A8 or R8 (laughs)
I finally got a normal car.

Even if it is normal, it is expensive as it is, but at this price, it is a price that makes you think that if you do your best, you will be able to manage it.

Audi A7 Sportback 40 TDI four
812 million yen (tax included)
Inline 4-cylinder 2000cc turbo
204 horsepower and torque of 40.8 kgm at 1750 rpm.

However, with a 300-liter turbo, the Impreza WRX has more than XNUMX horsepower, is about half the price, and is fast.
I don't think the people who ride this car really care about speed in the first place.

However, if this is an R8

Audi R8 Coupé V10 performance 5.2 FSI quattro
3001 million yen (tax included)
V type 10 cylinder 5200cc
620 horsepower and torque of 59.1 kgm at 6,600 rpm.
Maybe because it doesn't have a turbo, the torque is low, and you can't get any torque unless you rev it at high speed, but this is what it is.Or rather, 620 horsepower without a turbo is amazing.

I've heard of Lamborghini engines, but I think it would have been nice to have a turbo instead of overdoing it.
There are a lot of people who like NA in NA though.

Many other cars...
I feel like I should write everything down (laughs).

as a bonusBMW Alpinawas written about
I wonder what series Alpina is.

Assuming that it is BMW Alpina B7 Long Alrad
Price 3075 million yen (base model is 2597 million yen)
Alpina blue (59 yen)
Executive Package “President (326 million yen)
Alpina Classic 21 inch wheels and tires (57 yen)
BMW night vision (30 yen)
High gloss shadow line (6 yen)
And the option price is also the amount of money.

Alpina had only the image of the gold line,
There is also a silver line.

By the way, another respondentCelsiorSome people like it
Moreover, he seems to like modified cars instead of normal ones.
Could it be a car like the one below?

To the forced gull wing door
super shakotan
It's a dangerous car that seems to rub into a convenience store.
(Do you enter in the back when entering from the road?)

I don't really like modified cars
I think that it might be good if it is about gull wing.
(Though I think it would be quite difficult.)

Speaking of Gullwing, for the supercar generation,
Lamborghini Countach LP500Is famous.
