The front face with a huge grille, outside on a bright spray paint. This can be by far the most awe people's Bentley Continental - it is a tradition and change on the car, especially for those who desire a breakthrough in terms of.

Speed - almost half seconds faster. Its voice sounded ethereal, then again some fierce looks, when you can expect it to transform into giant robots attacking the city with you to clearly place an extra.

The name sounds like a typical Supersports British taste, that is what we should have expected the name of Bentley. From the inside out, than the GT version is a total of 77 kilograms lighter. Manual adjustment of the seat deep and hard, carbon fiber interior lining, the surface is hand-stitched Alcantara leather. Sitting in this chair, you can not stand to begin a few hours back pain.

Rear split apart, cross the floor wearing a carbon fiber rod that can be used to install shoulder belts, but also play a role in stabilizing the body. Pure Black 20-inch wheels, which looked to find a huge carbon-ceramic brakes, which the body quite match with the Supersports. 113Km / h to rest only 47.86 meters - the same is quite amazing results, but will be issued in the full braking is shaking Qigui Shen's squeaking screaming, sounds like the same bus.

[XCAR Beijing auto show real film]

Speaking of Mitsuoka Motor Co., may have heard of people internally are not many. But this is not a new thing, because even the Japanese are also a lot of people do not know the local automobile factory. Early, Mitsuoka or modification of Japan's most successful depot to Caterham in 1994 with a
Seven modeled on the Zero-1 sports car in one fell swoop laid the position in the industry, followed by Nissan's been modified in many models. After the success of the conversion, Mitsuoka officially applied for automobile license, has also become the last car manufacturer in Japan.
Mitsuoka car company do do a very characteristic: not public vehicle, contour design is not as mainstream. Sales of small, but has been done in a very serious car.
snake
The Beijing auto show, Mitsuoka first came to China, we are taken before the show opened to Mitsuoka's this is the best mainstream car models-Orochi (serpent) super sports car. Let us also the first time to understand a strange "new friends."
Orochi model description:

"Snake" the name is from Japanese fairy tale come: eight differences serpent. The entire vehicle design is a "snake" for the soul. The car reportedly had to wish for the success of the ceremony was also held into the spirit, is hoping to "soul" pass into the body.

Mitsuoka serpent's body is very low, very avant-garde style hyperbole, if you look in the car to see, you will feel as if the car is to the soul.

Unique grille, double headlamps, the appearance of any detail is a hallmark.



Round taillights and the vertical rear window, as if an early Ferrari models. Tail shape as unconventional. And four taillights echo the following four exhaust, are hidden inside is decent power?






Mitsuoka serpent tire size 245/45
R18, after seeing the first four two brake calipers, we no longer hold out any hope of its performance.

Came to the car, perhaps too much by the appearance of bright spots, we immediately lose the sense of excitement, although the number of used car leather material, but the overall feeling is too mediocre.

See this button, I would say not as good as our domestic own brand models.


Dynamic part, Mitsuoka serpent with Toyota 3MZ-FE-type 3.3-liter V6 engine (with the Lexus RX330), driver type with MR (mid engine, rear-wheel drive) layout, 5-speed automatic transmission. 0-400 meters, 15.1 seconds; off to 1 km, 28 seconds. Maximum Power 172kw (233 hp); maximum torque of 328Nm, top speed 240km / h ,0-100km / h acceleration time of 7.2 seconds, the resistance coefficient of 0.32.


While the dynamic performance is not outstanding, but Imagine driving across town when the Orochi, or will cause a lot of pedestrians stopped to watch, can earn enough to keep returning.

Serpent in 2010 is standard pricing 8.78 million yen (640,000 yuan). The price is higher than 09, paragraph 10.92 million yen (about 800 thousand yuan) is slightly lower, mainly due to already sold 4 years, pre-development costs have been recovered, the other is process (manual) more mature, production cost reduction So the new prices are significantly lower.

Mitsuoka is expected to enter the Chinese market next year. With snake as the main force in China car sales in the first year goal is 35 units. Mitsuoka scheme is this, next year's Beijing Auto Show, and use it as an opportunity to open dealerships in Beijing; and then under the operating state of good or bad, (if is good) and then shop in Shanghai and Guangzhou.
