The taxi's engine roared violently. It was an Ambassador car made in India.
Taxis in Mumbai are very unique. Taxi drivers like to paint inside the cars. Whether it is the inner walls, seats or armrests, except for the windows, the drivers will paint colorful patterns as decorations. It is said that there are many Indians. , will choose whether to take a taxi based on the pattern decoration inside the taxi. If he sees the pattern he follows, he will take a taxi.
As for the Ambassador car, this is a brand that has dominated India for half a century. It is an Indian domestic brand that began production in the 1950s. It was once used as a courtesy car to receive the Queen of England, and later Indian officials. Dignitaries also ride in this kind of Ambassador brand car.
For more than 50 years, Ambassador cars have been prosperous in India. Although the cars have undergone certain innovations, their appearance still looks like a classic car, which is also a major feature of India. This type of car was not discontinued until 2014. The main reason for the discontinuation was that the Indian government promulgated new automobile emission standards. Ambassador cars not only consumed fuel, but also did not meet the exhaust emission standards, so they were eliminated.
At this time, the taxi driver also recognized Zhang Guan. He made a very exaggerated expression and said, "Oh, you are Zhang Guan, you are the world champion Zhang Guan!"
"Yes, it's me, can you drive faster?" Zhang Guan obviously had no intention of admiring the driver's graffiti in the car.
"No problem, I'm the fastest driver in Mumbai!" Although the taxi driver said this, the speed was still about the same as before, and there was no change.
"I watched your competition during the Olympics, and you ran so fast!" the taxi said in curry-flavored English. He seemed very talkative, completely unaware that Zhang Guan next to him was actually very anxious.
"Can it be faster?" Zhang Guan said as he took out a Franklin card from his arms and stuffed it into the taxi driver's pocket.
"No problem at all!" The taxi driver stepped on the accelerator. Although the speed of the car became faster, it was far from the level Zhang Guan expected.
Zhang Guanke was really anxious. He took out all the money he had and then said, "Listen, I'll drive and you help me show the way. All the money belongs to you. How about that?"
The taxi driver looked at the money, stepped on the brakes without hesitation, and then motioned Zhang Guan to come to the driver's seat, because the money Zhang Guan took out was enough for him to buy a new car.
"Go forward and turn right after two more intersections. You will see a bridge, which is the only way to the airport." The taxi driver smiled and took the money, and then began to count them one by one.
Zhang Guanze put the car into gear, stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi quickly ran forward.
Although the appearance of the Ambassador Taxi looks like a classic car, and the internal structure is indeed behind the times, the power of the engine is still good. After all, the technology is provided by the United Kingdom, and it has been improved over the years. Although there is no turbocharging, once the engine with a displacement of more than 3 liters starts running, the speed is really good.
For classic cars, it is normal for the engine to have a large displacement. For example, cars from the 1950s and 1960s, sedans generally have six-cylinder or eight-cylinder water-cooled carburetor engines. If the displacement exceeds 5 liters, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will definitely exceed 20 liters. If you step on the accelerator A few bucks worth of gas is gone. In the 1970s and 1980s, although technology had advanced, the displacement of cars was still much larger than it is now. Of course, the benefit of high fuel consumption was full horsepower.
In fact, many old engines may not meet emission standards and consume more fuel, but as long as they are well maintained, their power may be much better than current car engines, so we can often see Americans driving them in movies Cars from the 1970s and 1980s are racing.
There were not many people on the road at this time. Due to the attacks, many places were still under martial law. Otherwise, with the poor traffic order in India, the car would simply start running. Maybe it would encounter a sacred cow crossing the road halfway, and the car would have to stop.
…
On the bridge, a black Jaguar XK is particularly conspicuous.
"Omi, your new car is great! It's very cool." A young man sitting in the passenger seat said.
"Of course, I managed to buy this latest Jaguar XK. It is the first batch of goods from their factory. It is probably the only one in India with a 5.0L V8 supercharged engine!" The man named Omi paused and then said, "If my uncle hadn't been familiar with people from Tata Company, I wouldn't have been able to get this car so quickly."
"Yes, Jaguar Land Rover is now considered our Indian brand. Speaking of which, I really admire the Tata Group for directly acquiring the Jaguar Land Rover brand. I heard that Land Rover cars purchased abroad are quite good!" said the young man in the passenger seat.
"Beep...beep...beep..." The sound of the car horn sounded from behind, and then, an Ambassador taxi was seen rushing past them.
"That old car was driving so fast! He actually overtook you!" the man on the passenger seat said with a smile.
When he was overtaken by the Ambassador Taxi in his Jaguar XK sports car and was watched by his companions, Omi was suddenly filled with anger.
"I just let him pass on purpose, so that I can show the performance of my car! Just fasten your seat belt and wait for the show!" Omi snorted coldly, throttled up and rushed forward.
After all, the 2009 Jaguar XK has a 5.0L V8 engine. Once this kind of professional sports car accelerates, it is obviously much faster than the ambassador's classic car, so in the blink of an eye, the Jaguar catches up with the taxi, and then suddenly With a twist, he blocked the taxi.
"Don't you like to overtake? I'll block you right now. I don't believe that your crappy car can overtake me!" Omi looked at the rearview mirror with a proud smile on his face.
…
"Dudu... Dudu..." Zhang Guankuang honked his horn, but the Jaguar in front of them obviously blocked them deliberately, preventing the taxi from passing by.
"This damn guy! He must have done it on purpose." Zhang Guan wanted to hit him with the accelerator, but his reason told him not to do so.
"If this delay continues, the plane might take off and I won't be able to see Martha!" Zhang Guan frowned anxiously, and then found the racing skills in the system.
"Master overtaking skills! It's you!"
