Exhaust, false noise, in order to cater to consumers.

What "fakes" have car companies made to cater to consumers?

65,438+10,000 cars have 12 cylinders when driving, which is a fake made by car companies for consumers. Similar to the so-called "fake configuration", it is to meet the psychological needs of our consumers as much as possible. It's like: in the video you watch, someone is eating the Buddha jumping off the wall, and you want to eat it. There is no place to buy it in the middle of the night. A bowl of instant noodles with the flavor of Buddha jumping over the wall is considered to be eating Buddha jumping over the wall.

A holiday that looks more expensive.

Suture pseudodermis

Let's talk about seats first. People in China prefer leather seats when buying a car. They are clean, have quality, and most importantly, have face. Seeing this huge market demand, manufacturers have to find ways to get leather seats for their cars. As we said in the previous video, many cars now use artificial PU leather, and the local dialect is called "imitation leather". But when the salesman sells cars, he tells you, "leather, leather!" " We can't completely judge whether it is true or not. Even for leather seats, the animal skin used in the car can be divided into the first layer and the second layer.

According to the EU standard EN15987-2011,the top layer of animal skin accounts for more than 80% of the fabric, which is called genuine leather. But with a two-layer leather seat, the manufacturer also said leather: "This is animal skin!" " "In addition, whether the seat is genuine leather or not, it should be sewn up with thread, right? But this kind of inconspicuous suture can actually be tampered with by the manufacturer. The center console, door panels, these places have stitching, and the stitching on the advanced car is to sew the wrapped leather tightly.

The fake car is on the plastic decorative board with enamel technology, and I'll sew it up for you. It looks like leather from a distance! It's really just for the sake of looking good and showing advanced. Some stitches are even made of hard plastic, such as Jetta VA3. This is how the stitching on the door panel works. Interested friends can go and have a look.

False decorative board

The second place of fraud is: the decorative board in the car. Although the manufacturer's budget is limited, it still needs to be done. For example, weren't all the old cars decorated with mahogany? The interior of 20 10 Skoda Ming Rui is mahogany, but it is actually a fake mahogany decorative board, not real mahogany. For another example, carbon fiber is popular now, but it is neither cheap nor expensive. Manufacturers use water transfer printing technology to print carbon fiber patterns on decorative boards, and the visual effect looks similar to the real one.

It looks more fake.

False exhaust

After talking about those fakes that look more expensive, let's talk about performance fakes. False exhaust is a typical example. Many people think that the bigger the exhaust pipe, the more exhaust pipes, the more powerful and fierce the car, and the better its performance. You see, super running is like this. If the exhaust pipe of an ordinary family car is really big and thick, it will make the power of the car worse.

There is a paper in Equipment Manufacturing Technology, which mentioned the research on the influence of exhaust back pressure on engine performance. Too low back pressure makes the exhaust gas have no resistance. When the engine rotates at low speed, the mixture is discharged before it is completely burned, which will cause torque loss. To put it bluntly, there are many exhaust pipes with large diameter, and the exhaust gas goes out smoothly. Let's put it this way: didn't we say "hmm" and then hold our breath with our strength, and "ah" and just lift it up? You didn't hold your breath, you held it in half, and you couldn't breathe. When you raise your hand, your strength is not that great. If the exhaust pipe is too smooth, you will hold your breath, a bit like.

Since it is reasonable, there is really no way to equip our family car with a particularly powerful exhaust gas, so car companies try their best to decorate it with a fake exhaust gas, which makes us consumers look comfortable. For example, in Volkswagen C-TREK, the rear exhaust decorative panel is double-sided, but the actual exhaust is only on the left, which is still hidden. Anyway, it is ok to watch it well, and everyone is happy. If you don't buy this thing, you have to install one yourself, right?

Pseudoacoustic wave

Installation must be in place. Since there is exhaust, the sound should also meet the needs of consumers. After the car starts, you should feel that you are driving F 1, like "ahhh", and your voice should have charm, right? In fact, this noise is also fake, it is all simulated, and the purpose is to create an atmosphere. Some car companies are more practical. For example, Ford used acoustic symmetry systems in cars such as Fox ST and Carnival ST..

The principle is that a special sound duct is connected to the intake manifold. The blades made of mixed materials vibrate with the air inhaled by the engine, which produces the effect of enhancing the sound wave of the engine and transmits it to the car, which is called whistle for short. Just now I said blow the whistle, at least there is a real whistle in the car, right? Some sounds are not made by the car itself at all.

For example, some BMW cars use active sound to design active sound systems. Through the car stereo, according to different engine speed, torque and speed signals, the exhaust sound is simulated. The most famous one is "BMW i8", which is what it does. If one day this system can be used in our home game machine, the sound will be really enjoyable.

Pseudoaerodynamic suite

The third performance fake is that aerodynamic packages are more and more used in cars, the most common ones are tail wings and fake air intake cheeks. The air duct in front of the car and the air inlets on both sides of the car are very common in performance cars and super sports cars. What is this for? Reduce wind resistance, better heat dissipation. We ordinary car users will not drive more than 300 yards, and there is no chance to drive more than 200 yards, right?

You don't need it. Don't use it if you don't need it? Yes! Stick it on like a sticker. Anyway, it just looks good. For example, the shark gills on both sides of 18 BMW 3 Series GT are decorative plates, so the wind can't blow in. These fake aerodynamic kits, although not helpful to vehicle performance, look very enjoyable, visually satisfying and valuable, right?

False tail mark

Now the tail mark on the rear of the car is getting fake, isn't it? Most of our consumers' understanding of automobile power still stays at the bottom of the car, that is, the displacement. The bigger the number behind, the harder the car is, right? 20 13 Audi, the German automobile company that knows the China market best, immediately had a brainwave. The original 1.8T and 2.0T don't sound strong enough. We said we changed the algorithm and printed it as 35,40,45 45TFSI.

I don't care how it is worked out. It used to be called 2.0, but now it's not called 45. People generally think of it as "Oh" 4 and 2, which are always four big ones. Well, it's amazing. "This makes the car look more advanced. Some friends really think that 45TFSI is 4.5L displacement. As the "father" of Audi, Volkswagen has also begun to learn badly. Originally, the red symbol TSI was used to indicate the displacement: I red is 1.4T, SI red is 1.8T, and TSI full red is 2.0T.

Later, I also began to learn from Audi. TSI is preceded by180,230,280. Anyway, the number is very big and powerful, so I'll play with this thing. Now more and more cars, as soon as this trick works, everyone starts to come here, and the number of tail marks is increasing, with the aim of making our consumers look advanced, fierce and valuable.

False shift paddle

Didn't the shift paddle on the steering wheel come standard for performance cars before? There are many family cars now, and more and more families own them. But some paddles can't actually shift gears. For example, the paddle on the hybrid Honda Accord is used to adjust kinetic energy recovery, but it is exactly the same as adding and subtracting gears. It looks cool. "I own this car, but it is like a fake shift paddle, which can shift gears up and down. I have never used it. " Then let's take a look. Isn't that the same reason?

Fraud is to cater to consumers' preferences.

The so-called "fake" is good or bad. Don't car companies engage in this kind of thing just to cater to our consumers and make us happy? The budget is limited, and we really can't give it. If we have it, we don't need it. It's good to be happy with some goods.
