If you are familiar with Gust, you must know its relationship with BMW. But this brand-new "entry-level" Rolls-Royce has adopted the same brand-new platform as its big brothers Cullinan and Phantom. The new platform precisely matches the most advanced suspension technology and intelligent configuration with a V12 engine, and the result is perfect.
hidden under its huge hood is an epic 6.8-liter V12 twin-turbo engine. In the past few years, Rolls-Royce has refused to publicize its accomplishments in power, but in the brand-new Gust, it has become a star with 571 horsepower and 85 Nm. There is only one reason why Rolls-Royce is uncharacteristic: it is no longer just luxury.
Yes, if you step on the accelerator to the end without any pity, the new generation of Gust will make every nerve in your body tense with an acceleration of 4.8 seconds. You know, it's incredible to be able to perform like this with a body of 2.5 tons. The core of these wild performances is that the engine can transmit 85 Nm of torque to the wheels only at 16 revolutions. Plus a perfectly matched 8-speed automatic gearbox, everything comes naturally.
In addition to lamenting the amazing power of the brand-new Gust, we were deeply impressed by its highway capability. All this is due to the upgrade of suspension. In corners, air springs and adaptive shock absorbers can well offset the body roll; The rear wheel steering and four-wheel drive system added for the first time also help the new Gust to have a more flexible and smooth cornering experience and make it more calm in the narrow parking lot.
in cruising state, the brand-new suspension structure not only improves the handling, but also enhances the shock-absorbing ability, perfectly absorbing the vibration from the road surface, just like driving on the clouds, which is extremely comfortable. For drivers, with the support of BMW's top technology, the burden of driving is greatly reduced.
in terms of appearance, the new generation of Gust has become more concise, giving up the cumbersome front-end design of the old model. In official terms, it is: Less? is? More (less is more). The decoration of the new bumper is no longer complicated, and the visual effect is more integrated. The two sides of the front of the car are equipped with perfectly shaped cone-shaped LED headlights. The iconic Parthenon grille has a larger area and is more vertical to the ground. The 2 groups of LED strip behind it will also emit "ghostly" light at night, further enhancing the recognition of vehicles at night.
In terms of interior, the new Gust has not undergone subversive improvement, and some designs are still maintained under the old framework. However, it must be affirmed that it has unparalleled interior materials and technology. The whole center console is wrapped by a whole piece of leather, with extremely delicate texture and excellent hand feeling. Behind the customizable starry plaque in front of the co-pilot are 152 independent luminous units. The technology is extremely complicated and the atmosphere presented is fascinating.
In addition, there are many retro elements that you can't put down, such as the air conditioning system adjusted manually and the buttons arranged around it. We don't want this power with historical significance to disappear.
However, there are also some disadvantages. Gusteau only changed BMW's old iDrive? 6 made a small upgrade and upgraded the UI. Functionally, no ID? 7, for example, you can't use wireless CarPlay.
written at the end: in this category, no other car can embody the concept of high-end luxury like the new Gust. After careful improvement, it adopts a new minimalist design, plus super power and the best driving experience ever. There is no doubt that it is the strongest generation of Gust.
