What if one day your favorite model is no longer produced? Someone will definitely say buy one before stopping production! However, for local tyrants, this matter is much simpler, that is, trying to spend money to keep it from stopping production! Jim, founder of British Ineos Petrochemical Group? Sir ratcliffe is an avid fan of the old guard. He was very dissatisfied with the shutdown of the guard, so he set up the Ineos Automobile Company on 20 17. Before we get down to business, let's get to know this brother briefly. ...
Jim. Ratcliffe topped the British wealth list for the first time with a net worth of 2 105 billion pounds. My brother has a wide range of interests and loves to collect motorcycles, so he bought Belstaff, which is famous for producing motorcycle leather clothes. Jim. Ratcliffe is also a sports fan and took over the Sky Team? Sky) made Ineos famous in the field of cycling. As a Manchester United fan, he had planned to buy this old team, but the Glazer family said that they were not short of money and had no intention of giving up.
Jim, the founder of British richest man Ineos? Ratcliffe
Jim. Ratcliffe believed that money could do whatever he wanted, and tried to take the old guard's production mold from Land Rover. However, Land Rover actually hit the face of the British rich and refused to sell the model of the old doorman. Know Jim? After ratcliffe's plan to "resurrect" the guardian, Land Rover applied for a shape patent for the old guardian at the end of 20 19, but let Jim? Fortunately for ratcliffe, the British authorities rejected Land Rover's patent application on the grounds that the appearance of Land Rover Defender had no unique style.
Now the British billionaire is very happy that the project can go smoothly. The new car continued the design of the old guard as planned, so there was the grenadier we see now. You can easily find the design elements of the guard in the appearance of this car. Tough and straight lines and small side windows on the roof are the appearance characteristics of the guards. Of course, grenadiers have also made innovations. The small round lamp on the air intake grille constitutes Grenadier's four-round headlight shape, which can be regarded as subverting the tradition of guards.
INEOS exposed before? Grenadier test car spy photos
At present, the interior, specific configuration and power of grenadiers have not been disclosed in more detail. Even without the "official support" of Land Rover, the powerful INEOS developed a brand-new platform when building Grenadier. Like the old guard, Grenadier will be equipped with a powerful four-wheel drive system and a non-loaded chassis of a traditional off-road vehicle. In order to enhance the interest of potential hard-core off-road vehicle users, Grenadier will have front and rear hard axles, part-time four-wheel drive and differential lock and other related configurations that reflect off-road performance. In terms of power, Ineos chooses BMW's 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine as the "heart" of grenadiers, and the transmission system comes from ZF.
It is reported that the investment in the grenadier project has exceeded 600 million pounds, and the technical research and development of this car is carried out by Austria Magna Steyr (Magna? Steyr), as for the future production of Grenadier, the project leader said that Ineos is currently rebuilding a Ford engine factory in South Wales, England, and the production of body and chassis will be carried out in the factory of Estarreja. At present, the car is still in the research and development stage, and soon Grenadier's prototype test car will carry out a road test of 6.5438+0.8 million kilometers a year.
When overseas media asked about the original intention of making Grenadier, Jim? Ratcliffe said, "The grenadier will be a powerful, durable and reliable four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, which can cope with the worst road conditions in the world." Do you think Lao Wei is quite good? I really don't understand why Land Rover stopped production and developed such a fashionable off-road vehicle. Since my powers are so rich, I can continue to build guards. Piss you off, Land Rover! Pisses you off! Pisses you off!
