Up to now, many legends about Japanese cars are out of date. Although they have been producing new products from generation to generation with legendary names, their pride is gone. In the eyes of riders, these new cars are like politicians in clown coats, leaving behind an ugly appearance of hysteria and agitation.
"Initial D" can be said to have witnessed the heyday of Japanese performance cars, and at the same time painted this series of models into legends on mountain roads, so that it later became a classic feeling in the eyes of car fans. If fans like to watch "Initial D", it is better to say that "Initial D" gave birth to JDM fans and continue to tell the story of JDM performance car.
In addition to the cars of several protagonists, there are many classic models that JDM fans talk about in Initial D, just like the following.
Nissan skyline? GT-R(BNR32)
Driver: Zhong.
For many people, the name GTR is not strange at all. GTR has become Nissan's iconic car, and the skyline car series has been continuously diluted or even forgotten. But no matter what the current model is, Nissan cannot erase it. The miraculous position of the early skyline.
In the early days, the skyline was called Prince Car, which was a company that sent energy cars to the Japanese emperor. Formerly known as Lichuan Aircraft Company, it went bankrupt and was acquired by Nissan.
After Nissan, GT-R was born, which laid the basic style of Japanese high-performance cars. GT-R has two killers, namely, the RB26GETT inline six-cylinder engine that provides super power, and the ATTESA that distributes power to four wheels? E-TS intelligent four-wheel drive system, in that era, such a four-wheel drive system with power distribution calculated by computer can be described as black technology. So that GT-R became the ever-victorious general on the field and was named "God of War".
Nissan Sil80(S 13)
Driver: Sato Tadashi Zi&; Sha Xue?
Does this bus leave from Nissan? Sylvia began to say that the layout of the front and rear drives gave Sylvia huge room for modification, and Sylvia's price was very cheap in high-performance cars, and the economic threshold was low among young people who love to drift, so the penetration rate was extremely high. Moreover, due to the large space for modification, it was almost a culture to modify Sylvia in Japan.
1989, 180SX extended from Silvia. The chassis code is S 13, with a hatchback, and the most popular turnover lamp was designed at the front of the car. Yes, compared with Sylvia? , 180SX has a more fashionable sports car shape. Because of the twin relationship between 180SX and Silvia, most accessories can be * * *, and Sil80 is produced after being interchanged and matched. As the name implies, the front is in Silvia style, and the rear is in 180SX style.
Mitsubishi Lan Se? Evolution (CE9A)
Driver: Keiichi Sudo
In order to participate in WRC World Rally Championship and SCCA Professional Rally Championship, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation improved and strengthened its family car Lancer, and produced a high-performance flagship sports car-Lancer? Evolution? .
Lancer. Evolution? Kill four birds with one stone 1996- 1999? The annual champion of WRC became the most powerful chariot of WRC at that time.
Every generation of lancers? Evolution has an amazing performance. By the end of the ninth generation, it was already an extraordinary car in Japan. Of course, there have been ten generations, but EVO is not EVO anymore, Lancer? The legend of evolution is here for the time being Don't ask me why.
Toyota MR2(SW20)
Driver: Xiaobaikai
There are only two mid-engine cars in Japan, the first is NSX and the other is MR2.
The middle engine, rear wheel drive and two-seat layout are the origins of the name MR2. SW20 belongs to the second generation MR2, referring to the design of Ferrari F355, and has a classic jumping lamp. Everyone likes to call Honda NSX Japanese Ferrari, while Toyota MR2 is called poor Ferrari. Compared with NSX, MR2 is not comparable in technology, but Toyota used ingenious ideas to transfer the layout of the rear front drive to the rear wheel, forming the layout of the middle rear drive, which greatly saved the development cost and made the price of such a mid-range sports car acceptable to a group of young people. Poor Ferrari is not belittling MR2, but fully demonstrating its high cost performance, so that ordinary consumers can also get in touch with the fun of mid-range sports cars.
Honda Civic? R type (EK9)
Driver: Guan Zhixiang
Honda Civic is a rare precursor model in Initial D, and its strength is very tenacious. One of the strongest representatives is this EK9. Needless to say, everyone knows that EK9 is Civic Type-R, B 16B red hair power, front and rear double rocker arm suspension and active tail-catching running mode, which is actually the strongest enemy of a group of rear-wheel drive models. Plus, this is not an ordinary EK9, but a Demo with a completely modified spoon? Car, B 16B engine, has been expanded to 1.8, which can produce 260hp horsepower. Coupled with a series of chassis upgrades, it is really difficult to break the strength of factories and cars, relying only on the protagonist's aura.
Honda S2000(AP 1)
Driver: Junzai Chengdao
Many people think that Honda has only produced S2000, a small FR sports car. In fact, this is wrong. In 1960s, when Honda obtained the automobile production license from the Japanese government, the first car S360 was a small two-seater convertible. Later, the focus slowly shifted to the family car market. It was not until 1999 that Honda revived the S series and launched the S2000? AP 1 .
S2000 is a pure convertible sports car with exclusive chassis and power system, which has many special features. For example, the matrix X-shaped frame that ensures lightweight and body rigidity, but the cost is high, and there are fewer front-mounted mid-engine in Honda cars, electronic instruments, extremely simplified audio and air-conditioning switches, and so on. Of course, the most amazing thing is its F20C inline four-cylinder engine. This engine is specially built for the longitudinal engine layout of S2000, and all the advanced engine technologies of Honda are added. This 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, code-named F20C, can output the maximum power of 184kW, which is amazing even today. Coupled with a manual gearbox with a gear ratio close to 6 specially designed for this engine, S2000 has a strong performance that is no less than that of a million sports cars.
Nissan skyline? GT-R？ v-specⅱNur(bnr 34)
Driver: How about Hoshino?
Besides R32, there is also the skyline in the initials D? The last edition of GT-R R34. R34？ V-spec Ⅱ Nur was released in 2002. In terms of performance, it has fine-tuned R34 turbine and suspension system, so that it can withstand greater power modification and have the best wheel grip on different roads. In addition, the factory has been equipped with lightweight carbon fiber headgear. The "Nur" in its name stands for the new Boglin circuit in Germany. This version was tested and developed at the new Boglin circuit, with a limited production of 750 sets.
It is said that Nissan did not abide by the gentleman's agreement on the upper limit of 280hp horsepower in Japan. This R34? The power output of V-SPEC Ⅱ Nur is 330hp. Due to the special position of R34 series in GT-R history (the last edition of Skyline? GT-R), and this V-SPEC Ⅱ Nur is sold in limited quantities, which can be said to be precious.
Nissan skyline? GT-R？ v-specⅱ(bnr 32)
Driver: Beidaolin
Another R32 with the initial d? GT-R is the ultimate edition. V-spec stands for "victory? Spec ",this V-SPEC Ⅱ was released in 1994, and it still uses RB26DETT inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine with a power output of 206kW. With the earliest R32? Compared with GT-R, the most important change is the use of 245/45R 17 tires. This model is R32, too? The ultimate model of gt-r.
Although the performance of GT-R is really strong, on the mountain road, because its body is too heavy (R32? V-spec Ⅱ already has the weight of 1 480 kg), which is not very advantageous for performance cars with smaller horsepower but much lighter body. This is also the reason why GT-R failed many times in the plot of "Initial D".
Toyota MR-S(ZZW30)
Driver: Xiaobaikai
The third generation MR2 was renamed as MR-S and sold in the Japanese market. The exterior design of this generation model is changed to learn from Porsche Boxster, so the design style is obviously different from that of the previous generation model. After resetting the body size and suspension, MR-S is called the most mobile MR2. But it's a pity that 1ZZ-FE is brought? The original power of 1.8-liter engine is only 103kW, so there are many cases of transplantation and modification.
To say that the classic models in "Initial D" are of course far more than these, just Honda's strongest NSX, Mazda rotor RX-7, Roadster? MX-5, Subaru WRX series, K-car stands for Suzuki Cappuccino, etc. Unfortunately, these patterns are either not followed or completely stale. Today, I can only recall those sentimental cars from the 1960s to the 1990s. Unfortunately, there are few cars left around us, and even the living space of internal combustion engines is getting narrower and narrower. I don't know what model will accompany my children to grow up in the future?
