"I just Googled it, and that God of Cars is really awesome. It's said that over a dozen car gods chose to retire after being struck by that race. I can't believe he's actually Zhang Menglong's dad!"
"Unbelievable! That puts Dad to shame, Zhang Menglong."
"He's really playing Versailles! I don't know if he's genuinely unaware or just pretending."
"Judging by Zhang Menglong's expression, it doesn't look like he's faking it."
"No way? With Zhang Menglong's driving skills being so awesome, it must have been taught by his dad."
"It's possible that in Zhang Menglong's mind, an ordinary driver's skills are just like his dad's!"
...
"I've been wondering why my dad would spend 2 billion US dollars to modify this car, now I finally get it!" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself.
"What? 2 billion US dollars?" Those with sharp ears overheard this jaw-dropping figure, "A Wuling Hongguang only costs 50,000 yuan, and he spent 2 billion US dollars to modify it? Is he out of his mind?"
"Although it looks like a Wuling Hongguang on the outside, in reality, this is a Wuling Hongguang with a 24-cylinder engine," Zhang Menglong slapped the car's body, "The maximum horsepower exceeds 2000, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 1.87 seconds, and the top speed reaches 547 kilometers per hour!"
"Damn! How is that possible?"
"A 24-cylinder engine? That must be an airplane, right?"
"An airplane what?"
"2000 horsepower? A top speed of 547 km/h? Can anyone even control this car?"
"Without changing the exterior, that air resistance must be enormous. Can the body even withstand such a load?"@@@@
Almost everyone who came to watch this race knows a thing or two about cars, and these exaggerated specs left them all dumbfounded. This was simply nonsense! Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
Even if the car really had such performance, it definitely wouldn't be something humans could handle.
A 24-cylinder engine is only used on heavy trucks and airplanes, and with something so huge and cumbersome, could you drive it on such complicated mountain roads? Probably any turn could send you flying right off!
If the speed increased further, even the body of a supercar might roll over, and the tires also wouldn't withstand such intense friction.
The Longyou racetrack's terrain is even more dangerous than that of the Alps, where even with God of Cars' skill, a car as tall as a Wuling Hongguang might roll over just going around a bend at 200 kilometers per hour.
They believed that there was only one God of Cars, and even his progeny could not replicate such terrifying skills. Zhang Menglong had the God of Cars' vehicle, but that didn't necessarily mean he had the ability to perfectly control it!
On a straight section, Zhang Menglong's Wuling Hongguang might be able to pull away from them utilizing its powerful 24-cylinder engine, but on sharp turns, if he didn't want to meet God, he would inevitably have to slow down. At that point, it would be their opportunity.
And on this racetrack, there were very few long straight sections!
"Since all five racers have arrived, let's get ready to start our race!" the host announced excitedly into the microphone.
"No one expected that this mysterious God of Cars would turn out to be our very own Mr. Zhang Menglong from Huaxia, and even the God of Cars who stunned the world eight years ago, was his father! Now, let me announce the rules for today's race!"
The rules for this race were very simple: Circumvent the rally race's mountain circuit twice, totaling 48 kilometers, and the first to reach the finish line wins.
The bets for this race were even more intriguing; while regular car races usually bet money, this time the race bets were the car emblem, driver's license, and racing license.
"Ready!"
At the sound of the signal, five cars immediately erupted with deafening roars, the four Gods of Cars looking serious, while Zhang Menglong in the camera held a sugarcane in one hand and the steering wheel in the other.
"Go!"
"Beep!" The race began!
The four supercars unleashed incredible noise, with even the rear of the vehicles spurting out dazzling fire trails.
A moment later, they charged out roaring like fierce beasts.
However, Zhang Menglong's Wuling Hongguang did not take off!
"My God, what's happening? Why hasn't racer Zhang Menglong started? Is there a problem with his car?" The host's face stiffened slightly, as even a second's difference in such a high-stakes race could affect the entire outcome.
If Zhang Menglong lost today, it would be Huaxia's reputation on the line.
However, at that moment, Zhang Menglong slowly rolled down his window and, calmly biting into his sugarcane, said to the camera filming him, "I figured it was just too unfair for me to start at the same time as them, so I've decided to give them a one-lap head start!"
