There is also a lot of heroism in this country. Compared with the superheroes in science fiction movies, the real hero in America is the cowboy who explored the west. They are used to wearing cowboy hats, riding horses and carrying winchester spears, bringing prosperity to uninhabited land. But today I'm not going to introduce a cowboy, but a "good horse" from Ford Mustang.
Mustang, that sounds crazy.
Bronco is an American classic off-road vehicle, which once dominated the North American automobile market. Bronco's Chinese translation means Blanco horse, which is the strongest and fiercest horse breed in North America. Therefore, Ford placed great hopes on this named car.
After the end of World War II, many military vehicles were continuously used for civilian use, and people began to have more and more demand for motorcycles and cars. In the United States in the 1960s, a wave of all-people off-road vehicles gradually emerged. Ford mustang, jeep? CJ-5 (the classic shepherd model with the longest service life) and the discontinued international Scout model have formed a monopoly trend, and the most popular one is Ford Bronco.
From birth to concealment, what has this good horse experienced?
Ford Bronco was originally born to take the lead in the off-road vehicle market in the United States, and was founded by Donald? n？ Frey and engineer Paul? g？ Axelrad jointly built and produced five generations of models. Ford's brand-new Bronco resurrected two months ago is the sixth generation.
The first generation of Bronco has a box-like square shape, and the words FORD are printed in the middle of two classic round headlights. The double-door and short-wheelbase body also make it look more handsome and dynamic. The hard-core gene and four-wheel drive system of the non-load-bearing body and front and rear axles, as well as the blessing of in-line 6-cylinder and V8 large-displacement engines, ensure its off-road performance. At that time, Bronco participated in activities such as Mint? 400, Bach? 500 and other cross-country events, the effect is also very ideal, and the sales performance of 24,000 vehicles is a strong proof.
With the increasingly fierce competition in the off-road vehicle market, the second generation mustang began to develop in the direction of luxury and large space. While maintaining excellent off-road performance, it improves the level of interior materials and the functionality of the carriage (the rear seats can be folded). But unfortunately, this generation of wild horses has only been produced for one year.
With the continuous expansion of the city and the rapid weaving of the expressway network, people begin to have more demand for the comfort of vehicles. The third generation Mustang canceled the hard bridge setting and replaced it with the front TTB suspension and the rear Dana? 44 suspension, achieving a balance between off-road and comfort.
The appearance of the fourth generation Bronco has further increased the chrome trim that highlights luxury, and the overall shape is more modern. Electronic fuel injection technology and 5-speed gearbox are also adopted, which greatly improves fuel economy.
The fifth generation Bronco continues the route of the fourth generation and continues to evolve in luxury and technology configuration. Many modern configurations appear in cars. However, due to market environment problems, this generation of wild horses only survived for four years and stopped production on 1996. Since then, Bronco has gradually disappeared from the car world.
Return is the peak.
Just when many people felt sorry for the departure of the classic, Ford officially resurrected the classic. The brand-new sixth-generation Bronco has hard top, soft top, detachable hard top, 2-door, 4-door and sports version. Compared with the ordinary version, the off-road non-load-bearing body is more rigid, and the sports version adopts the load-bearing body structure on the same platform as Ford Sharp, which undoubtedly brings more targeted choices to consumers with different needs.
Externally, the new car pays tribute to the classic Bronco shape and adopts a more modern design language. The three-dimensional square shape and the round LED light group are highly recognizable, and the special version of the door adopts a partially hollowed-out design to support disassembly. 17-inch wheels and 35-inch tires make the new Bronco a complete cart without modification.
Founder's interior design is simple and generous, and the introduction of 12 inch central control panel greatly enhances the sense of technology and supports mobile phone interconnection. The spatial texture and utilization rate of the whole vehicle are very high.
In particular, it can support the shelf for placing mobile phones and GoPro (the gospel of media and online celebrities).
Moreover, it is also an oversized "bottle opener" for parties and parties-when you open the trunk, you can open drinks and beer with the bottle opener that comes with the car body and enjoy a skin licking party.
The new Mustang is equipped with Ford's 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost engine and a 7-speed manual (one of the climbing gears) or 10-speed automatic gearbox, with a maximum power of 270 HP and a maximum torque of 42 1 Nm; In addition, there is a 2.7-liter six-cylinder twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine with 10 speed automatic transmission, with a maximum power of 3 10 horsepower and a maximum torque of 542 Nm. In addition, the G.O.A.T terrain management system can also provide a variety of driving modes such as ordinary, economic, sports, wetlands, sand, mud and rocks.
The basic models are 2H, 4H and 4L manual part-time four-wheel drive switching, and the high version can automatically adjust the four-wheel drive mode according to the terrain.
At the launch of the brand-new mustang, first of all? The Edition version of the car was limited to 3,500 cars, and it was robbed as soon as it was released. It can be seen that consumers love and recognize it, including affection and true love.
What is the significance of the resurrection of wild horses?
It's actually quite simple. Ford chose to revive Mustang, a classic off-road vehicle, in order to cater to the increasingly personalized consumption trend of automobile products, and at the same time, it realized the situation of two "fine horses" galloping on the battlefield with Mustang-one running in the wild desert and mud, and the other flying on the free route 66. However, new problems have followed. Will the sales of Jeep Shepherd be affected after the new Ford Mustang enters China?
