Bathroom facilities, high-end bathroom ignite the flames of war

London, published in “Asian Ceramics” magazine estimated that in recent years, Chinese demand for sanitary facilities will reach 44 million, while the United States only 35 million, China will become the world’s largest bathroom products consumer market. Another statistics show that China’s market demand for high-end bathroom is about 10 times in other markets. In this great temptation, the foreign brands in China’s high-end market has been kicked off the competition.

For a long time, China’s high-end bathroom market has been by the U.S. Department of Japanese brand split the world. However, since May last year, sanitary ware industry, after the implementation of the new national standard, this pattern is about to change. European Department of the brand’s meteoric rise, the industry and widespread concern.

Recently, all products meet the new national standard German brand Yue Iraq announced in Beijing in China, with great concentration, after 10 years of operation have been fully equipped with a challenge to America as represented by the Department of Kohler brand and with TOTO as the representative of the Japanese brand’s strength, the next step will be in the retail, construction, and so the overall development of the terminal, at the high-end bathroom and strive for greater market share.

The industry and relevant experts believe that high-profile music in Iraq This time, “Liang Jian”, makes high-end bath market, despite drastic changes in our country, the United States Department of the Department of Japanese and European brands “three male hegemony,” the pattern of beginning of another.

The high-end market, foreign brands into the world

In recent years, as people of product environmental protection, fashion, security and other aspects of the improvement requirements as well as ordinary families, “more than one Guardian” and other things to happen, China’s sanitary product market ushered in rapid growth. According to statistics, in 2005 China sales bathroom terminal about 100 billion in 2008 sales of bathroom market is expected to reach 17.2 billion total. London, published in “Asian Ceramics” magazine estimated that in recent years, Chinese demand for sanitary facilities will reach 44 million, while the United States only 35 million, meaning that China will overtake the U.S. as the world’s largest bathroom products consumer market.

It is our fancy bathroom growth potential of this market, foreign brands in China have increased marketing and promotion efforts. The high-end bathroom products, the profit is far higher than the low-end products, thus become the main battlefield of competing foreign brands, they use strong financial strength and a higher brand awareness, almost swept the Chinese market, the high-end bathroom, and to take various measures to seize the mid-range product market share. Among them, in order to Kohler, represented by the US-brand, and with TOTO represented by Japanese brand to enter the Chinese market early, so grab the opportunities that these brands not only products to the Chinese market, also invest and build factories in China to achieve the localization of production and sales in order to reduce the cost of domestic products to its low production caused by threats.

German music in Iraq, represented by the Department of European brands, it is a technology leader in recent years, a rising rookie. Le Yi in Beijing R & D and production center, a total investment of 132 million U.S. dollars, manufacturing equipment, all from Germany, which adopted high-pressure slip casting technology as the industry-leading level. In the Chinese market 10 years after the hard work, music production equipment in Iraq, capital, brand, product design, so as to gradually reflect the strengths, in particular, the Department of European products is changing the way traditional dashed technology breakthrough success, so start with the United States Department of Japanese high-end brand market preemption. For a time, despite drastic changes in China’s high-end bathroom market, the U.S. Department of Japanese and European representatives from each of the Department of the brand, “three male hegemony” begun to take shape.

Industry veteran who believes that the Chinese market is in any other market in the world can not compare with high-end products for the bathroom, the Chinese market demand is about 10 times in other markets. In such a huge temptation, it can be predicted that foreign brands in China’s high-end market, the competition will be exacerbated.

The new national standard result in increased industry reshuffle

May 1, 2007, by the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the Standardization Administration of China jointly issued by the GB6952-2005 “sanitary ceramics,” the national standard into effect. New standard for Toilet seal depth of water seal surface area, water, water-sealed reply flushing devices such as matching requirements and anti-siphon functions 6 have done a mandatory requirement for provision does not meet the requirements of the standard products will be out of sales market. The implementation of the new national standard, leading to further aggravate the bathroom industry reshuffle.

According to experts, China’s current sanitary industry, in addition to high-end market, international brands, there are more than 3,000 local brands, of which there are 50-100 larger home, the other are more small businesses. The prevalence of small businesses small and outdated equipment, products a single, low-quality grades, lack of market competitiveness of the obvious disadvantages. The new national standards in a number of mandatory requirements has become difficult for some companies cross the “threshold.”

For example, the new national standard provides that: all the water in with the overall health bend ceramic seal depth of not less than 50 mm; installed in the horizontal plane of the Toilet seal the surface area of not less than 100 mm × 85 mm; seal reply should be not less than 50 mm. If you fail to seal in the above-mentioned criteria, will result in the bathroom are more serious problems such as smell, so the standard is mandatory. But some products of domestic small and medium enterprises are still unable to compliance, some enterprises have adopted various measures to avoid or to compare the new national standard implementation of previous reports obtained exemption Huyou consumers.

Competition from overseas giants Technology

Have a technological advantage for the overseas brands, the new national standard implementation, they have become an opportunity for technical competition. For example, stressed that the new national standard in water conservation a major focus of the new national standard, the toilet water at 6 liters below the Urinal 3 liters of water for water-saving product; water consumption is equal to or less than 7.5 liters, in order to eligible products; more than 7.5 liters, in order to substandard products.

Architectural and Sanitary Ceramics from the National Center for Quality Supervision and Inspection on the inspection report shows that the music of all samples of products in Iraq are able to meet the water-saving standards. But so far, all products are up sampling only a water-saving standards. Among them, Le Iran’s “inductive Urinal” water consumption of only 1.3 liters, far ahead in the industry. The horizontal distance in the toilet, the new national standard on average more than 12 meters. Le Yi sampling the product to the nearest horizontal transmission to 17 meters, the farthest reach 18 meters, ahead of other well-known brands.

Induction sanitary ware market in recent years, the fastest growing, most talked about products, particularly the use of infra-red sensor-controlled automatic water-saving equipment, sanitary ware, in recent years has gradually into the hotel and other public places, and get consumers generally favor. However, high prices and other reasons, sensor sanitary ware has not yet gained significant access to ordinary families. In sensor technology, several well-known brands from overseas have also started the race. For example, the development of music in Iraq built-in sensor technology, reduces the amount of copper, making the price down to the same technical conditions for the product 1 / 5.

In the meantime, between the Big Three, “war” also burned to the retail terminals. According to reports, after 10 years of operation, the next step in Iraq will be at the retail end music-round way and vigorously develop the market, as well as agents. The industry and experts believe that, from a technical strength point of view, Kohler, TOTO, and music in Iraq constitutes the current sanitary industry, the first echelon in the Big Three can be described as fairly evenly split between them, the technology will become even more intense competition in the future, this technology race conducive to promoting the development of the industry level has been increasing. The terminal from the retail perspective, Kohler and TOTO has a certain inertia lead, but the music is the bathroom sector investment in Iraq, China’s “Big Mac” adopted “technical Bipin, scale competition, winning a later” strategy may give the industry bring a new pattern. It can be predicted, our bathroom industry, competition in the future will be more intense.

Haizhu Jiuzai balderdash

Over the past Guangzhou often say, “no money, no right to live in Henan.” Vaguely aware of “the old Guangzhou” in the minds of the north of the Pearl River (Guangzhou called Hebei) is a rich land, but here it is poor in Henan land. People who lived in Guangzhou, Hebei, said: Hebei prefer a bed, not in Henan room.

If you also hold this view in Guangzhou, then please contact me to walk in Henan, South Road and Bao-gang Avenue, the street between the alley and that a deep-rooted, will let you know, sometimes, we somehow convinced that the “common sense” is actually just how tenacious prejudices.

It was a forgotten world: along the rain washed clean and shiny rows of quartzite randomly, you will be surprised which Zuozuo old house, though sounded all the years the vicissitudes of life, or it may look like good-looking. They first appeared in the city mansion compound, as the city has been reluctant to wake up some old dream.

Best to select a rainy day, is to hang a Youzhi San. Carefully measured with the pace of these street alleys, intentions to find those who have been forgotten a bit by bit. You will find a difference in Guangzhou, a different sort of “Henan.”
Haizhu Mansion Map

Pan: “Henan luxury,” the first person to

The first mansion built in Henan Province, is famous Pan.

The Qing dynasty, the 13 lines downtown was very popular in Guangzhou, while the other side of the Pearl River “Henan”, it is a a beautiful countryside scenery.

Today, Binjiang Road, the bustling area, the Pearl is still a deep underwater slumber. Like a jade belt Shu-Chu Chung, the South West area surrounding it like a fairyland. Shu-Chu Chung east of the mouth, is the sea temple buildings of the gate where the river surface. Because the west of the river island on the flow resistance generated, resulting in a slight slowdown in the east of the flow, easy to siltation. Tides advance and retreat, the course of time piled up into a beach, so here, slightly higher than in the west river bank. Whenever the tide, the original full note of the tide, from the Bay and within the narrow waterway between the angle, while the rapid out, natural homeopathic oblique north-east of the middle of the river near the north shore of the sea rushed to the stone beads. Yu to house the view that this is “Wolong Shu-chu,” the blessed land of the elephant.

Qianlong, the wealthy side of the 13-line leaders Pan eyes on this area.

Pan in the end how much money? At that time, according to a French businessmen doing business in China back in Paris, reported: Pan annual consumption value of 3 million francs in one’s property than real estate in Western Europe even more than a king. Since the third generation of Pan, Pan Wei-headed, the total assets accumulated to 100 million francs, its wide and the North has not yet been counted throughout the property, which is a well-deserved, “the world’s richest.”

Pan South West Pan built homes, known as “Yoshinori Church.” East beautiful scenery of the Shu-Chu Chung, north leisurely Pearl River water, large-scale, grace gorgeous Mingzao Nam Yue. In the courtyard of extravagant everywhere planted with rare trees, a variety of flowers. The garden is also Pan raises deer, peacocks, storks, and mandarin duck. Can be said to be “the end of all gold-pan.”

Pan’s “to King Hall” very soon, Yuanyang reputation. Shortly afterwards, 13 other wealthy businessmen have followed the line from the South West area soon gathered fu JIA.

Jiaqing eight years, businessman Wu Bing Shu-Chu Chung-yung, is also the East, with the Temple of the sea adjacent to the location of buildings, construction of the “Wansong Park” in house, of which there is a small mound, known as “Shu-Chu Kong” cover board can be Shu Zhu overlooks the scenery also.

Since then, Henan local wealthy follow suit. Slightly south of its two sides, there have been Chan Park, Plum, Zhang Park near Park Gardens, as well as Yip, Mr Lai Pu Park, Lin Gardens, Gao Dong Park, Young’s semi-park. Chen Hui made tour of Guangdong, in his “Journey South Vietnam” and goes: “Guangzhou City, Gean names Henan, home of the rich more.” Actual Jizhi this.

Jiuzai Tour

Long Xiang Street: In the construction of a street

“Nanjing Treaty” signed, to establish five trade policies, the gradual loss of monopoly trading status in Guangzhou. Spent in an increasingly Depression Fourteen years later, in 1856, the Second Opium War broke out. The 13-year-old has a 170 line into a fire in the ashes.

With the decline of 13 lines, Henan in the vicinity of wealthy tribe, are found to have scattered,. Chen Jitang the period until the main Guangdong Pearl River’s south bank, big house deep house re-wind and water. Compared to the previous one, this time to settle fu JIA Haizhu politicians who have even more low-key. Until recent years, these are not ordinary old one, before gradually rising to the surface of history.

Our guide is the cultural center Lung Fung Street, Haizhu District, webmaster Chen Jiankang. He pushed a bicycle, take us across a busy Bao-gang Road, turned into the opposite lane one is not noticeable. Has a less obvious path upward slope. Chen Jiankang said that there had been a small hill, Mingjiao Wu Longgang. Macau then Wollongong is a Storyteller, playing the song a good place, and today’s oolong Kong, has long been covered by concrete pavement. Perhaps, only the road can be seen from time to time on both sides of a large banyan tree, but also vaguely remember that it used to look.

Marching along the path all the way, Bao-gang Avenue gradually pulled out of the roar of traffic. We have entered a different world:

In this world, there is no heavy traffic, only a brilliant network of alleys. Patchwork Lvyin behind to set off in a small house is the master of the world. They have two large three-storey, has red brick walls, green fence, Corridor balcony, Rome, Dongshan goal post … … is similar to the Red House Villa New River Po. In comparison, however, hide this in them, one points short of breath residence, Duoliaoyifen quiet and mysterious.

Chen Jiankang ushered us into an alley called the Long Fuk Road. This is the year in Guangzhou “It was the construction of a street.”

Every corner of the legend.

Fu-Dong Er Xiang living in Long No. 1, was famous Kunlun photography shop owner; Long Faudon a Lane 4, the residence of the KMT doctor Caohui Yi; Lung Fu Road East, home to 2,4-founder of the first Er Xiang Shi Ma brothers department store tour; Lung Fu Road, No. 2 of the old master, the name is unknown, reportedly was the last emperor Pu Yi’s descendants, and later the house was auctioned in Hong Kong … …

The best story house in the alley of the deepest. It is a Chinese and Western architecture, gate, respectively, inscribed “taking care of Lu” and “Kang Lu” word. Here is the Wu School and the South has donated Red Cross Hospital of Guangzhou City, one of the richest ten 100-kui Wei’s home. This “Gu Lu” and “Kang Lu”, it is his wife, were built for two.

Looked up, “Gu Lu” and “Kang Lu” each of which has a small balcony, beautiful woman may have had, where Yi Chuang overlooking the distant scenery, and now the balcony has been pegged to the rotten wood indiscriminately. Careful observation, you can still see the balcony ceiling, inlaid with ornate relief.

2 gate, whether the pattern or size, no difference. Seems to make sense out of Wei 100 Gyu to “一碗水端平” in mind. Just do not know exactly who is beloved in his mind?

Fuk Road and Long Street, adjacent to the Long Xiang, 6, is a combination of Chinese and Western style architecture, with red brick walls and green Tongtou Shi fence. This two-story building’s first owner was the Republic of China opened its first soap factory in Guangzhou’s famous national capitalists weeks in Sau. In 1920, weeks in the show in a German Road, No. 243, founded by the “source-chang soap factory,” is the earliest opening of Yangcheng soap factory, its production of “pole” brand of soap, or until after the founding of Guangzhou brands. In the weeks after the fortune to build a shelter ryujo Street mansion.

Ryujo the street, and house the same week the size of small building are not uncommon. Most of them, past experience has Wucongkaozheng. Chen Jiankang said that because of a long history, most of these small building owners whose whereabouts are unknown, housing has changed hands several times.
Von’s Grand Courtyard: Courtyard deep

Long Xiang out from the street, all the way to the northwest direction of the road, at the foot of the road has turned into a quartzite. Roads become increasingly narrow, time dial pointer move forward.

In some run-down of the “matchbox” middle, a moderate and doors locked in front of the compound. This is the year the famous businessman FENG Qing mansion.

FENG Qing Qing is a wealthy businessman. In 1906, he founded in Guangzhou, China’s first Chinese-owned trading company – Li & Fung Trading Company. FENG Qing’s capital is that he will speak English. Time, the Chinese factories that no one will speak English, as a translation, FENG Qing receive 15% commission. According to experts, research, Feng Courtyard building era probably between 1910 and 1920. FENG QING should be built from scratch after the large amount of money.

Von’s Grand Courtyard of the area 6,000 feet square meters. Because it exists naturally formed a four alleys, surrounded by houses east west crooked twist to squeeze together, and it blatantly is located on the most central, Qiyuxuanang.

Parthenocissus spread out from the courtyard where, we are able to enter in any case, the compound of the doors and windows have been sealed. Had to be painstakingly, Chen Jiankang had no choice but to take us up the compound next to the building, down from a height looking down, was finally able to see that Feng Courtyard pattern of three-deep, but the courtyard inside the scenery, or by the lush greenery of banyan blocking JANSEN.

Chen Jiankang told us that Feng Courtyard inside stadium, dance halls, Liantang, pavilion, pavilion, plants that have so. Yard crescent next to the door, there is a row of Miss F, before, during and after a total of three gardens, pavilions, bridges, Hawthorn readily available, and if all of the main entrance ¸ side door closed, is a typical “Da Zhai Men . ”

Vague, we have seen exposed Liu Jiaoting corner and saw the gray tiles, brick, there are roughly discernible stone, hard to imagine, when it looks like the past.

Doon Cottage: Xanadu

Moving north from the Von’s Grand Courtyard, around the house more and more old, more and more narrow alley. Mostly on both sides of the two three-story buildings, dense, and looks are quite some years. Was raining, rain washed off quartzite shiny shiny, standing on the top has a special texture, more and more a kind of walking in the past, the feeling of space and time.

Chen Jiankang voice suddenly lowered down to guide us look at a floor: “This layer of cement paste is then up to.”

The building is the Long I. New Street retain the most intact ancient mansion. Although its history has no recourse, but it is the dark times a cage door, window canopies and detailed, as well as carved in brick, each detail revealing the extraordinary life experience. Large housing estates are preserved for each component, as well as a complete man pages figure sculpture. “A piece of glass on the value of the 10000.” Low-key owner is very clear the value of their homes, so he used the wall of cement paste up, locked the door all year round, declined to outsiders to visit.

Long lead New Street is not long, but focused on the six built 150 years ago, the big house. It is said that the construction of six large houses were called Su. Tea business is doing business. That year, he set up shop in the blocks, “Sood and Hall,” developed after the Opium War. Only 46 years old, “Hua Buwan money has more to the point.” So he chose to close down and enjoy life in the clear sky of Henan, and in the vicinity of New Street, Long I. China and the United States played a bunch of big houses.

I do not know what the reasons are, Sood to the Republican era began during the down and out. The West began letting off their own big houses. Beautiful house attracted a lot of interesting people – Long lead the new end of the street, there is a large housing estate looks particularly China and the United States. It’s both sides of the wall outside the Italian-studded Chupin’s blue-green glass tiles, doors are trimmed with two delightful old-fashioned word: “Doon Lu.”

Early Republican era, a wealthy businessman in Zhejiang for fleeing forced marriages, along with his own loved one to come here, he was the most luxurious in accordance with the standards of construction to build their own in this “paradise.” Having to do not care two of the world.

Kunlun 3 Street: Guangzhou first “commercial housing”

Reluctantly leave “Doon Cottage,” and continue south line near the end of our trip: Kunlun Third Street.

58 meters-long Kunlun Third Street, Guangzhou combines Chinese and Western architectural style of the Republican period a small microcosm.

You will be very easy to find such a house: it has quite a typical Lingnan-style ceiling fans Dwarf doors, times and large wooden cage, along with Western-style red-brick, flower glass, wood flooring, flower railings, and decorative half-moon They looked so much alike each other. Chen Jiankang said it had been that the Kunlun Third Street, Guangzhou’s first “commercial housing.” Haizhu district gathered in the year to attract wealthy came a “developer.” The unified structure chosen by the same owner of a small house built and then sold a number of wealthy overseas Chinese, from profit-making.

Half the time, in these deep-rooted alley beating around the bush will be a kind of illusion that has been far from the Madding Crowd. The few minutes later, the familiar eyes BaoGang Road, reproduce, or, as always noisy. We are still living in the 21st century, only just made an old dream.

Chen Jiankang naturally do not agree with “no money no right to live in Henan” argument. “That was not aware we are the sea beads, do not understand Henan, one-sided view.” In his view, when the West off of course busy, but the Haizhu has its own unique temperament. “Historically, people settled in Henan Province, not only the money there is culture, and their pursuit of a better living environment.”

Shu-Chu Chung was once a very short time, Henan fan of “soul” lies. This year around the river, not only rich people more famous garden Dizhai more, but have also more than elegance. PAN Aizo paste, Wu carved a good book, from the Qianlong Jiaqing years since numerous aristocrats and scholars have gathered here, the text will be liquor almost every day and recent spared a moment Sheng.

While the rich people come here to buy a house, in the Chen Jiankang view, it is very normal and reasonable thing. During the day, they Xiao Jiang’s war over there shopping malls; the evening, sitting leaf vessel crossing the river go home, in the shade cover, light and spacious open terrace of the Corridor, a pot of tea warm, full moon in view of flower, or in the Shu-Chu Chung River, about Sanwuzhiji comment on the sentence of the text, a poem out of paint … … neither in the hustle and bustle Red Dust, but also to maintain a certain distance from the sidelines, with a clean comfortable spiritual home. Such a life, How can it be entangled in earthly life can match.

So many of these small building, but also so the United States, we can almost conclude that each of them one behind, there will be a legend. Unfortunately, because things change, the full story version of those have been destined to be difficult to gather all up.

Only when we walk in the 21st century, a light rain of the afternoon, to hear their word or term of these stories are still in the wind quietly spread … …

Wood Table Tops prices comparable to red wood furniture

Car decryption Last Emperor Pu Yi Shi Bei Hai, “Queen’s car”

Cadillac luxury brand came to the Chinese market, the time seems not long, but you may not have thought, in the Cadillac’s century-History in fact had a profound lasting bonds with China – it was for successive U.S. presidents and many heads of state of the models, also is China’s last emperor Pu Yi of the Qing Dynasty, “Queen’s car.” Looking back at this piece of history can not help but be filled with emotion.

March 1, 1934, the last Qing emperor, Pu Yi Bian Shen “Manchukuo” emperor. To show the importance of the enthronement ceremony, the organizing body as early as autumn 1932, the U.S. General Motors has ordered a Cadillac luxury limousine Tudor 8C-type (CADILLAC Deluxe Tudor Limousine 8C).

Dusty pictures on the Zheliang Cadillac sedan was not a mainstream black, but rather a very bright red, front and rear wheels on both side and inlaid with “Manchukuo” badges, and car customization become a puppet state of Manchukuo marked “Orchid Royal coat of arms “to show the” Emperor of Manchukuo, “respect. Cadillac sedan length of 5.7 meters wide and 1.99 meters, 1.92 meters high, with horsepower and speed, driving stability, ride comfort characteristics, can be described as Jin Xian at the time the Royal Queen of the noble and impressive car. Because of the special identity of Pu Yi, the car with no number and license plates.

Above, this picture reflects the scenic Puyi team when they go out – then Zheliang ultra-luxury Cadillac cars became Queen Puyi an important member of the team. Zhezhi Royal fleet comprises 12 cars, eight motorcycles composed, not only in the enthronement ceremony, scenery Puyi appearance since then, whenever the royal family there to visit, welcome, worship, holding ceremonies and other important activities, the team are necessarily go hand in hand, while the Pu Yi will be travel Zheliang Cadillac dedicated travel. According to literature at the time, in the royal convoy in the process of Pu Yi’s Cadillac limousine convoy traveling in the middle of a military motorcycle escort all around there, which was the world can be termed the highest specifications royal etiquette.

The wheel of history marching forward in the process of “Manchukuo” The Emperor Pu Yi has also experienced from the emperor to civilian life changes. At that time, the protagonist of The Royal Team – retro red royal version of Cadillac luxury car 8C-type ceremony, not only did not fade out the history of hand, because of its irreplaceable historical status and technical nature often reproduce the legend of great historical value as “classic cars”, as the world’s only such a widely throughout the world and the antique, classic cars of the sought after collectors.

In order to allow more fans the opportunity to see the demeanor of this luxury car, a lot of the professional model of process plants around the world have created the high-car simulation model, from the color to the details of the material with the original car to keep high-precision simulation, show the details of these models, one can glimpse the year “Manchukuo” The Emperor Queen’s car charm.

The world’s richest of the “mansion feeling” China’s attitude toward the rich subtle

Successful people will have a higher purchasing power, housing is their most preferred to be a consumer item. The mansion is this option I am afraid they are the highest priority attention. Few social elite and successful people do not have such a dream: own a mansion.

After the founding of New China, a fairly long period of time, China has not “luxury” one said. After the reform and opening up until the early 90s of last century, “mansion” is only just begun and gradually more popular. In a sense, today’s China is a luxury product of the market economy is the residential housing market-oriented new birth.

In fact, the mansion’s in China is not a new thing. Chinese ancient mansion of love will never lose on this one. To say that the ancient mansion, like the National Palace Museum, Forbidden City palace compound when this is the ultimate luxury. Of course, these palace compound is a symbol of imperial power. A general sense of the mansion in ancient China is also abound, the most representative is retained so far in Suzhou gardens. Such as the Lion Grove, Humble Administrator’s Garden, Retreat Park, Yong-Villa and many other well-known gardens, at the time when the world is not no high-ranking officials and rich merchants, aristocrats and celebrities private residence. These are very moving moment of luxury even today, at home and abroad than the number of top-level luxury Morrison also did not have to. Makes interesting is that, when the people who owns the mansion has since evaporated, most have been unknown, and these luxury flats are passed down through the ages Context heritage and become precious historical relics, continue to benefit the Chinese people.

The world’s richest of the “mansion feeling”

The love of luxury is not unique to the Chinese people’s preferences, it should be said that this was the habit of “Home ownership” of the total of human nature.

Europe and the United States developed countries, high-brow types and rich merchants from Needless to say, even Africa, the mansion is a popular local elite who dream of home. In Africa, South Africa has the largest known luxury most intensive, while in the Southern Hemisphere, South America, most of the mansion are concentrated in Brazil.

Although the United States is the world’s superpower, but it still lags far behind in the mansion in England. Can be as high is no exaggeration to say that London is the center of the world real estate, while the Kensington Gardens Reserve is a traditional residential area billionaire, Diana, Princess of Wales stayed alive in the vicinity of Kensington Palace. In 2004, the Indian steel major has created a real estate purchases Hengmitaer record: 127 million U.S. dollars to spend on this purchase a villa, mansion’s garage that can accommodate 20 cars, ground capped with marble and stone from the same one the Taj Mahal quarries, Mittal residential extravagance, said swimming pool inlaid with precious stones.

Those who buy luxury houses in the United States is mainly a large surplus of cash on hand holds a U.S. citizen. For example, the financier MartinZweig has a sub-set of America’s most expensive apartments, located in the top floor of New York Pierre Hotel, valued at up to 7,000 million U.S. dollars. But in London, luxury buyers from around the world since the 70s of last century, along with every rise in oil prices, every political changes, there are always wealthy people from around the world competing to London, Deal or No Deal acquisition very expensive real estate. In addition to the nature of the pursuit of luxury, to improve their social status, these wealthy but also to prevent hundreds of millions of his own net worth has been inflation, currency crises engulfed, not wanting his hard-won wealth in the political struggles have been mercilessly deprived of.

Not everyone on the London real estate pre-eminence be convinced, South Africa’s real estate developers say, where the property has been far underestimated. South Africa’s most expensive real estate is mainly a number of playgrounds and wine village, was bought as a wealthy businessman resort. Over the past few years, property prices in South Africa for at least quadrupled, but still in the mansion at the bottom of table.

Dives are most like that? Is a costly luxury and display those luxury homes. Property itself is often a luxury. Luxury large area is not the only luxury features, the natural landscape, human environment, geographic location, decoration and many other factors affect the details of the mansion of price and reputation. The world’s most expensive house may be just as you can imagine, spacious, comfortable, very high degree of privacy. As the rich stuck together and luxury are often highly territorial. It is reported that London is the world’s leading city property, the price of the most expensive properties are concentrated mainly in London, America’s wealthiest individuals are accustomed to a pleasant climate in the vicinity of settling in California.

“Delicate” Chinese tycoons

In contrast, China’s richest to the mansion’s attitude is quite contradictory, they hand clutching his bulging pockets, single-handedly refer to his own big house on posters.

Social transition period, the proportion of rich-quick is always extraordinary, China is one example. China’s rich and powerful on the luxury real estate and purchasing power for the pursuit of world attention. In 2002, U.S. President Bush’s visit to Hangzhou, and when he was in Hangzhou suburb of thousands of hectares of rice fields, and the White House to see a building exactly the same, he dazzled a bit suspicious to see himself. This “White House” is a master called Huang Qiao-Ling of Chinese people in 2001, “Forbes 100 Rich List in the Mainland”, he was ranked No. 34, 2002 No. 42, 2003 mysterious disappearance of another. Huang Qiao-Ling’s “The White House” and the United States White House in Washington the same size, the layout structure of the room and there is no difference, or even have a Washington Monument. Huang Qiao-Ling in his “Oval Office” office, when a rise, you can see that the proportion of two thirds of the building opposite the original four great stone carvings of Mount Rushmore. This time, whether he be a king like contented?

Huang Qiao-ling with the “total Westernization” compared to “Television predators” Deng Jianguo more like a traditional agricultural society landlords. He built in Guangzhou Panyu, “White House” is a white palace covers an area of 40 acres, plus decoration, spent more than billion. However, only covered the huge area of nearly 10 luxury flats. These luxury quintana white, oval roof, looks like a mosque; mansion house is also in white color, the ground is white pebbles, and even street lamps, swing, chairs, sun umbrella, also without exception, is white. A reporter said that in the understanding of Deng Jianguo, the White House is “a white house, and expensive.”

In addition to China’s massive home, the Chinese tycoons are frequently shot on the international market. Wealthy residential area on Long Island no shortage of buyers in China. The past two years, to buy a house on Long Island Chinese, especially the number of people from the mainland 2% ~ 4% annual rate. Surprisingly, these tens of millions of dollars worth of luxury rarely inhabited, Chinese buyers tend to live a year for two or three times more often inside the empty mansion. Why does this happen? It turned out that they often put their own identity as a symbol of luxury. A Chinese tycoons given away the secret: “talk business, you tell each other if you live in 400 million homes, businesses like to talk about more.”

It is obvious that China’s attitude is very rich on the subtle luxury. On the one hand, adhering to the “hidden wealth” ancient Chinese were unwilling to show off their wealth; the other hand, luxury and can show their economic strength, won for them the respect and look up at the same time, but also for the future development of paved level road. The words of a Chinese president to say of them more or less frustration: “In China, you see rich people want, otherwise no one will believe you really have money.”

What is luxury?

So, what is luxury?

Point one: luxury, from the literally can simply be understood as the rich live in luxury homes.

Point 2: luxury, original meaning at least two meanings, firstly, great; 2 is rich.

Point three: the so-called “luxury” should have three characteristics, namely, the share of natural resources scarcity; second is the hard copy of real estate; third, the quality is extremely comfortable.

Point four: mansion is a society in a few wealthy people way through the market share over scarce resources of society as a living state.

Point 5: luxury real estate market is a level of development and living standards of the differences in the degree of the relative concept. In response to the different stages of economic development and urban development in different historical and cultural accumulation, the mansion in different social systems and different historical stages of development, different cities have different cultural backgrounds definition and ruler.

I think that, in fact, the so-called luxury should be referring to today’s high-end homes than the quality, grade, size and price of residential areas are higher. The extent of its luxury mainly in its possession of scarce natural resources and their own quality luxury aspect.

As a new residential products, today’s China mansion There are two main forms, one is a class luxury villa, a mansion at the senior level.

Does not mean luxury villas, high-rise does not mean big mansion. Only when large-family villas and high-level, or whether it is itself the quality of the natural environment have reached a “high” scale, in order to call it luxury.

The representative of China’s top luxury until several Shanghai Tomson Riviera, Shenzhen Mangrove West Coast, Gold Coast, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, CITIC-Jun-ting, Golden Bay, Nanjing, Riverside Park, the WTO, China Vanke Golden homes, the Beijing Star River, Palm Springs International Apartment , Tianjin Shidaiaocheng, Wuhan Buckingham Palace, East Lake, the world and so on. Take an early launch of the Guangzhou CITIC Jun court for a staircase of a 100 meters high, each will have large sky gardens, lift from the outdoor garden areas and households, and large-span space steel structure system, so that all the flexibility in layout of Unit , lobby and other public service facilities according the standard-star hotel luxury decoration. Such a luxury compared with luxury villas, indeed each has its advantages.

Undoubtedly, China’s urbanization is an irreversible trend. However, conditions were much less, China’s very difficult to develop a long-term large-scale class luxury villas. So in recent years, most developed cities in China’s flourishing high-level mansion, will become a unique city landscape, and will lead the future development direction of China’s mansion. This trend with the housing market nowadays the Chinese government to implement macro-control policies coincide.

Hollywood Hills holiday villa let you close to making the dream factory

Hollywood Hills recently built a holiday villa, lets you sit in this sun and the moon.

Peak independent secluded

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills famous wealthy areas, trees set off the roof, a deep courtyard separates the curious eyes of tourists. And a host of Beverly Hills mansion is different is that one called “horizon line” of the private residence was built in the Hollywood Hills is no shelter around the objects a ridge. Although the Zhajianzhixia bit worried about privacy issues, but the sincerity exposed to nature’s mind was more sitting under the sun and the moon to see thin clouds Fengqing pure.

Hollywood mountain ridge, a narrow body building stands quietly, like making a short-winged Dapeng cover habitat. Gray concrete roof, brown wooden facade compartmentalization and full-height glass is the villa’s main architectural language. In a picturesque location made a perfect feng shui modernist holiday villas, is the owner’s dream. In fact, this emerging young American architect Hagy Belzberg to his own set for a big challenge. 5 years ago, when he won when the plot was told that this place is not suitable for building houses for two reasons: First, not enough land on the landscaping, land exposed in the ridge there is no shelter; 2 is the block on the geological environment, both hard rock is not conducive to clear, there are large areas of sandy soil is not easy to build the foundation. However, as the architect Hagy Belzberg personally wield the sword into battle, spent more than five years was finally here, set up their own vacation homes, and thus to bring with it a new home inspiration.

Saphenous Wealth

“Skyline” location is in a relatively flat ridge from the ridge overlooking the northeast, panoramic view of Los Angeles, to the evening, lights graceful, standing proudly ridiculous hill to see people in trouble, as if they were born with the elegant entry into the WTO. Because of his own, who is also an architect, management, construction engineer, Belzberg really challenged the limits of a budget and aesthetic.

The budget will start with several parts: foundation, building materials, interiors, furniture. Swimming pool is a pre-foundation and the most expensive part. Since both sides of the mountain slopes are covered with shrubs, so do the limited area of the foundation. On the ground, some regions of granite, some regions of the root system, compounded by shrubs leads to soil is relatively soft and hard local excavation difficult, soft compaction local needs, must also ensure that the construction of the house construction will not in and around the Hollywood Hills impact on the residents of the mountains, so the land is quite difficult, usually is not allowed in this case the construction of any building, but eventually persuaded the City Hall architect from the Belzberg firm to undertake the construction work.

Nevertheless, the plot for any architect is still a very exciting – one hundred percent with no cover and shelter given to the architect full of natural light, free of wind, as well as the monomer form of galloping in the construction of Heaven and Earth . Belzberg team, thus fully taking into account natural lighting, the surrounding landscape and ventilation problems, as far as possible, taking into account environmentally sustainable programs, as far as possible not to increase the air conditioning system.

Hagy Belzberg said: “In designing the course of this project, I consider three main principle is to prevent too much direct sunlight, there must be the best landscape point of view, as well as the maximum possible increase in natural light.” This will not only lead of the interior space of the layout, external materials and become an important parameter. The use of the material on the use of local materials as much as possible in ways which can ensure control over the budget, but also for building integration into the surrounding environment to establish a channel dug from the land on the granite base in the foundation and garden, Los Angeles, local production material saving considerable transportation costs. “In designing the beginning of the design strategy of sustainable development is a guiding principle, I hope to embody an architect in the environmental sense of responsibility,” Belzberg said, “but green products in the market, the emergence and continued development The ‘green’ technology, and sometimes dazzling, in fact, many of the cost of environmentally friendly products is very high, especially for an independent residential premises, so I tried to use a lot of locally available materials. ”

Enjoy the sun

The Chinese people are familiar with the faces south’s housing pattern is different from that from the several different small independent house, villa consisting of combination of the genial sun back to the southeast and north-west stretch, watching the city east of Los Angeles. From the plane point of view, parking spaces and guest rooms in the left area, right side is the main villa, separated by the middle of the courtyard. A straight lane guides visitors to the vacation homes of the path, the south side is the slope, planted the right side of the lane belonging to the owner of the Lvzhi, this green belt naturally separated from the driveway and house. End of the road there is a clear to the private possessions of the gate, on both sides of the wooden fence into public areas and private gardens distinguish between the boundaries.

On both sides of the architectural form can be summarized as L-shaped room on the left is a kneeling-type L, two-level, is where the garage and room. The garage is not a “bank”, but stamped with the roof of the outdoor parking spaces, the roof is the guest bedroom. The bedroom without walls, temporary slope side of the window the whole high, standing at the bedroom, much significant other residents of the Hollywood Hills villa Yingyingchaochao nearly be written just lean on a railing to see the high double rooms living room – for the guests to stay separate living room, two-storey-high, apart from ensuring there is enough space for guests to experience the height of the sky, as well as a spacious living room enough for indoor gatherings.

After a large entrance courtyard, paths lead into the right side of the main villa slightly higher terrain east stretch. Climb the stairs and have a terrace, which is a triangular square terrace with railings, the middle of a corner sofa, you can see the top of the room in front of the garage walls, placed on top of projection is the stand under the open sky theater. The shape of the main house like a flat on the floor of the L has been cut off angle, leaning on a sandy courtyard. Geometry constant cutting and restructuring, is to express an architect of the modernist approach.

Ferrari’s race through password

If there were Ferrari, Maranello north-central Italy, there is not eye-catching. In 1943, the king of moving rapidly thereafter Ferrari headquarters relocation, this town has become a sad plain fans all over the world the Holy Land. Ferrari’s magnificent headquarters, the legendary Fiorano circuit, Michael Schumacher’s footsteps and, as a small town like birthmarks of the Prancing Horse logo is everywhere … … so Maranello, has become a fully-fledged “Ferrari town.”

In Maranello, from the balcony looked out my living in a hotel, a highway winds not far away, behind the Ferrari headquarters that is a very visual impact of the landmark wind tunnel. From time to time, there will be a blur of bright red rubbed the edge of the road speeding away, turned into a curve at the end of the red spots disappear quickly, leaving the engine is infatuated with reverberation. Still remember those days, I was not looked on from afar without another magnificent voices deep sleep the next day, then surging again in stock and mixed with the wonderful sounds of chirping birds wake up. On the weekends, so proud of the speed of echo increasingly prevalent. Locals say that during this time, many Ferrari owners gathered here driving a car in the Ferrari Owners Club, the organization, accepting the professional circuit training, spent two days exclusively their own special holiday. Naturally, the early morning quiet of the highway around midnight, then turned into a gallop in Taiwan and Taiwan Yamaha indulge battlefield, while sitting in the “Paladin” side of the beauty, the more it added a dash of romantic gesture maneuvering.

On this day, to Ferrari for F1 racing collectors set up by client departments to visit. Spacious and clean environment, and opt for displaying two-thirds of the world’s super sports car FXX, past the red car champion who has also served its purpose here, are waiting for the professional maintenance. In the meantime, one dressed in signature red overalls, silver-haired technician caught my attention. He was carrying engine maintenance tools, smiling again focus for his companions to explain something. He happily told me that they have worked 30 years at Ferrari, the car every day to deal with the favorite for the “retired” the F1 car for debugging and maintenance, which has become his life very much enjoyed part of it. Why call it “enjoy”? He laughed off the language, but those records indicate we look at the wall with the Ferrari F1 Grand Prix scene photos.

Ferrari’s staff, is a happy group. Such a pleasant work situation, at the Ferrari headquarters everywhere – clean the assembly shop, the sunshine pouring from the roof of the windows down, the workers wear headphones while whistling as he assembled the world’s top V8 engine, where, no matter which direction can see the beautiful scenery, indoor and even the same as the jungle gardens; past and present production Ferrari road cars parked on both sides of the plant to remind staff of what the final product, the fruits of work, so that Ferrari’s staff were bored all day; in product development centers, employees being the future of automotive design and planning, office door, facing a special garden, the breeze blowing over the green bamboo barrier, the building topping-out of water ripple accumulation of water in the magical pond, despite the hot sun baked the Maranello, Ferrari’s of this “thinking center” is still quiet; dusk, the Ferrari car factory that Tao has witnessed a classic moment in the history of the red gate, was a The best days of the light disseminated, employees and concluded its work, talking and come out, many of them home, is located not far from the exclusive use of “Ferrari people” live “Mara in rout (Maranello Village) “… …

Ferrari Maranello success of this original humble town. Here, in addition to the visible four people dressed in work clothes Ferrari is the Ferrari fans from around the world, and many owners will of course Maranello red mark on nothing less than this piece of paradise, as this life must be To reach a destination. Schumacher and team-mate at the favorite restaurant Montana, point a copy of their favorite Italian dumplings; in the Ferrari museum (Galleria Ferrari), taste remains of rare models, understand that from a single-seat GT sports car racing to the colored Technology , and then look at the Enzo Ferrari President’s Office • look; museum is also dedicated many experience project, for example, got into the single-seater racing, the manipulation of the steering wheel, led by the simulation system to experience some sense of speed along the track of the King .

- In the beauty of this piece of the birthplace of speed, whether employees or Ferrari Ferrari fans, everyone is doing, that is, the enjoyment of Ferrari. The more in-depth discovery, but also we are also gradually comprehending: all people-oriented, to create a “pleasant,” Ferrari, is the global grade of disability was the key to success lies admiration for the brand.

Decipher the mysterious codes of Ferrari

In the Ferrari headquarters during the first day, after a machine shop bright and clean the walkway, machine arm, a tiny blue codes caught my attention, it was Leonardo • tat • Vinci famous painting “dimension Te Luwei people. ” Like the famous movie “The Da Vinci Code,” a beginning set of mysteries, which I do not know who is marked with the mark, but also became my heart’s suspense – in the vast factory floor, why there is such a “not relevant” symbol? Tat • Vinci in the eyes of the perfect body ratio, how inextricably linked with Ferrari?

Until you listen to the incumbent chairman of Ferrari Luca di • • Montezemolo (Luca Di Montezemolo) tells about Mr. “Formula Uomo (human formula)” of the story, I was able to solve doubts. This by its chairman himself, Mr. concept put forward in 1997, is aimed at the “people” put the brand operations center, to revitalize the Ferrari. I recall seeing in the workshop’s “Vitruvian Man”, the site was born in the 15th century, the early 90s classic paintings, demonstrating an overlap of the two limbs in the open position of the naked man, depicts a perfect square and round, painted human being measuring his world, and the world is also sharing his wonderful body proportion – this is not precisely in a clear and intuitive way to reproduce the famous Renaissance view: Man is a standard measure of all things . Today, these words of wisdom have been the 21st century, Ferrari’s corporate philosophy into practice. Mr. Montezemolo said that although the balance sheet, profit, sales charts, technical innovation, commercial success – all these factors are important, but apart from win the tournament victory in the Ferrari, and all the people. Because the quality of cars, and producers daily life.

Seems to be to emphasize the link between thought and the Renaissance, Maranello started a building renovation project. Over the past decade, the Ferrari headquarters of the Italian Renaissance has been converted into a modern industrial model towns. Plant area, each one built by the world-renowned designer architecture, is like a palace dedicated to those who build cars – Nuo Lunzuo • Renzo Piano (Renzo Piano) eye-catching design Maranello wind tunnel, construction group in the first project, a series of huge pipelines were cleverly made a huge industrial sculpture • Ferrari Enzo it from one end of the road rises, factories along the extension of the back door, internal, is a planning and thoughtful laboratory aerodynamic Ferrari home can research and explore in this 24-hour; “invented” the next generation of Ferrari’s product development center, it is the embodiment of Smart and bright, a layer of water, reflected upside – the various scenes around, as if the whole building is soluble in water in general, the central authorities and even with a small Bamboo Zen sense of the East, the introduction of unlimited reverie; employees completed the latest restaurant, inspired by the propeller blade from the helicopter, Pioneer’s full of design ideas to make the future of style, in the industrial environment for the employees to provide a casual self-entertainment side of paradise … … These are mainly connected buildings along the front and back doors of the Enzo Ferrari Avenue • arranged, they are as far as possible be designed to be a pleasant place to work – natural light, fresh air, lush plants, with colored functional recreation area, clean floors and tables – these elements, not only improve the production efficiency, but also help inspire people to create excellent products. “Quality of the environment, but also represents freedom, a relaxed workplace, people think the work is not only a duty, but also a great enjoyment.” Montezemolo this interpretation of his ideas. No doubt, Formula Uomo project will rebuild Maranello has become an extremely modern city walls, where the beautiful car constantly being invented, shaped and produced in the local living and working people are beginning to become so distinguished.

For vehicle owners, the Ferrari is tailor whom had in-depth, fun, personalized services to meet these distinguished people who have hearts for the “unique sense” the pursuit of: The most famous customization projects, the range of options available is almost limitless, each eager to distinctive personality can be an ideal owner of Dream Car; while the Ferrari driving course, then to the owners play their favorite car optimal performance of the the opportunity to complete the primary course, the owner will personally Maranello, on that enjoy “Racing Mecca, the Holy Land,” said the Fiorano circuit, driving the F430, 430 Scuderia, 599 GTB Fiorano and the F430 Challenge car type, the speed limit to the challenges and skills, the more deeply understand this into the red sharps sharp, access to “the Ferrari driver (Pilota Ferrari)” diploma;, of course, Ferrari owners will be invited to visit the headquarters to witness the birth of the various steps car, visitors along the same ramp as the boat moving through the long, bright and clean the windows of a pleasant observation of the workshop on the wonderful operation of the pipeline. Ferrari came to the factory for every visitor will have a feeling that – as if this time is actually included in the F1 track maintenance depots of fuel, they will not only witnessed the dazzling racing, but also to see Ferrari people are filled with a sense of the design world, most vividly to play with his talent and enthusiasm.

Ferrari 612 Bianshen Black God of War

Supercar believe that you will think of Europe’s Ferrari. A number of models in the Ferrari in the Ferrari 612 is a true sense of the aluminum beast (38% straight pressure aluminum casting aluminum +34% +28% = 100% aluminum piece of metal aluminum frame), its maximum speed more than 320km / h, 0 ~ 100km / h acceleration time of only 4.2 seconds. Recently a well-known car tuner from Germany, on the right to conduct a comprehensive transformation of this aluminum beast.

The tuning of the Ferrari 612 to install a modification kit, including a new front spoiler and rear diffuser, and the expansion of fender and a small rear spoiler. But also for the 612 full installation of the individual wheels, and body all of the paintwork was special treatment. In power systems, exhaust and suspension systems for their re-tune.

Ferrari 612 Ferrari history 12 on behalf of the 2 +2 sports car, in fact, that 612 is a 2 +2 sports car does have some “modest” because the 612’s rear seats quite spacious and loaded with four adults did not appear nervous. A super sports car can have such a space it is not easy to ride, all this thanks to the comprehensive application of aluminum alloy and the engine layout of the novel.

The all-aluminum body to greatly reduce the weight of vehicle, so that 612 do not have to worry about his large body would bring “overweight” in trouble, to reach 2950mm wheelbase and 1957mm wide so that most business car dwarf car.

Ferrari 612 was formerly 456M type, but in no way the shadow of residual 456M. Skinny front will be full and complete drawn a line with the 456M. Uplift of the nose on both sides of the high increase in body forward setting of the momentum, angular wings broken line across the middle, through the grille headlight group and the edge of phase, forming a clear U-.

Gan Lanxing former lanterns mounted on the front wings, center of the protruding face of fully integrated with a broken line. The front has a slender graceful uplift, has been slid into the front, feeling abnormal smooth body. Large grille in the bumper of the middle, mounted on the center of the Prancing Horse car standard, fully demonstrated the 612 distinguished identity.

The world’s first test with the Porsche double-clutch 09, paragraph Karman S

In the Porsche camp, it can count is the most youthful of a model, because paragraph 06 is its first product, and also its first-generation model, in fact, in some ways up it is a Coupe version of the Boxster model. Three years have passed, we have ushered in the latest revision Kaman: Chris Kaman, paragraph 09, then the most likely to make money as the world’s Porsche will bring us what kind of surprise do? We jumped into a new Kaman Zheliang yellow, telling you how strong it is in the end.

When so many colorful hanging brand new Porsche Kaman on your eyes, you will feel about it?

When the general public for the first time out of their dual-clutch DSG gearbox, many people have been the dumping of imaginative design, but also have been impressed by the ability to dual-clutch. But today, we certainly familiar with this way clutch shift, while the latest Porsche used this gearbox is that it. This transmission can be said to praise the industry has added, saying it was to change the world gearbox design classic, will from now on so that driving pleasure and comfort be put together.

Of course, such praise feel has gone too far, simply, is synthesized by a two gearbox gearbox, a shaft connected with the A clutch, another clutch connected with B, while the power from which there is no gap on the transfer out, Let the traditional automatic transmission gearbox whom shame, because it not only solved the issue of shift shock, but also does not affect the shifting fun and fuel economy can be described as beneficial rather than harmful. Which is equipped with the new Kaman above the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission of the most prominent feature is located, is easy to get started, the corresponding very timely, the overall performance is very eye-catching.

As a dual-clutch gearbox with Porsche, Kaman has brought a completely different driving pleasure

Of course, in order to have this outstanding transmission, you should have to pay more money, some need more to pay 3420 U.S. dollars, or about 30,000 yuan look. The face of immediate financial crisis and high-performance vehicle sales downturn, no matter how you call this gearbox, Porsche can understand what you mean, but for crying easily, which they become the PDK.

So, equipped with the PDK gearbox Kaman S how strong it in the end? It is the fastest car in a Kaman, compared to 08 models equipped with the Tiptronic automatic gearbox Kaman example, in one hundred kilometers acceleration tests, new cars and old cars score of 4.8 seconds for 5.8 seconds , for a speed and control for the pride of the sports car, the one-second gap is shameful enough. In fact, the advantage of not only that, 09 are equipped with dual-clutch gearbox Kaman S, paragraph 08 is not only more than 100 kilometers speed manual transmission faster, but also more than 09 models of Kaman S manual transmission is more rapid.

It is obvious that with the new dual-clutch automatic transmission Kaman strong acceleration performance than the number of

Clearly, the dual-clutch gearbox faster than the automatic transmission version, the truth is not what who do not understand, because, after all, it Shengdang will not waste a little time, but also on the torque converter will not delay efforts In addition, the value of 1320 U.S. dollars (8000 yuan) in a track suit, we can find the launch control device, to avoid pulling tires start to happen, so long as you press the console’s stability control key, stepping on the brakes to the oil , looking at “launch control” light is lit, release the brake, you went out like a fly also.

Of course, Porsche-designed set of stuff we are not without a little complaining, take a look at these two on the steering column shift column, press the left top of the two columns are Shengdang shift and press the bottom are lower block, this shift in approach is the first time really hit, not very adaptable. And all of our actions must be monitored by an electronic system up, if the rate of 4 block, then it will judge us according to three gear is a misuse, and thus will not let us done it.

Passionate heart

The shape has a pair of Porsche is like, but in its core systems, change is turned upside down

Clearly, these two new vehicles, the new clutch is their most outstanding feature of the host, but for the engine upgrade is to ensure their power worthy of this superb clutch technology. First of all worth mentioning is the Porsche of the cylinder were hundreds of details of the upgrade, to make it more lightweight, more rigid, and the intake and exhaust system have also been redesigned. Because now, when the chain direct-drive cam, so the chain to reduce a lot of pressure, in addition to Tappet each also 10 grams lighter, while the oil pump also can load the car to avoid unnecessary wastage.

Having said that improvements in engine work, its significance is that the new engine’s power to be significantly. This sets the level of Kaman six-cylinder boxer engine displacement from 2.7 liters to 2.9 liters to upgrade, the maximum power can be achieved in 7200 under the 265 horsepower (an increase of 20 hp), while in turn the 4400-6000 interval, the maximum torque then increased to 300 Nm. Since most of the additional power at high speeds can be felt, so if you just want to feel in everyday driving, under its new attraction is still very difficult to achieve. Is also a manual model, the new than the old models increased by 0.3 seconds, reaching 5.5 seconds.

If you just use it to enjoy the pleasant life, appears to be some waste of talent, and because of the high turn is the Promised Land

Kaman S and the 3.4-liter direct fuel injection system is adopted, so that it the maximum power increased by 25 horsepower, to 320 hp, while maximum torque has increased by 30 Nm to 370 Nm, but it These are also the increase in power can only be felt in high-turn, so those owners in terms of paragraph 08, when traveling in urban areas, 09 sections, and you do not make any difference.

Campaign style

In southern Spain, we are equipped with a dual-clutch gearbox S Kaman has been tested, and this is a very powerful top-level configuration. Equipped with ceramic brakes, sport-style 19-inch wheels, PASM electronic suspension control system, navigation system, carbon fiber interior, TV channel search, sports package, etc..
