每日簡報：V8 不會安靜，電動車獲得策略，中國「007」搶鏡 汽車界的奇怪一天。一方面，大型引擎正在獲得第二（第三？）次風潮。另一方面，電動車廠商正在收緊他們的計畫，交換配額，並且在定價上變得更加尖銳——有時在兄弟之間過於尖銳。在這一切中，一位調皮的中國「007」出現，搶走了一些焦點。我花了一早上的時間打電話給經銷商，與工程師交換意見，喝著味道可疑的 10W-40 咖啡。這裡是重要的內容。 V8：更響亮、更持久、數量更多 V8 的死亡被大大誇大了——又一次。根據今天的多個報導，一家美國巨頭正在大力推進氣缸和魅力，而一家巴伐利亞的老牌企業則悄然撕毀了到期日。 Stellantis 三倍增產 Hemi 沒錯，三倍增產。Hemi V8——可以說是引發千條死胡同的轟鳴聲——今年將進行大規模生產。這個邏輯成立：對於強勁、自然吸氣的扭矩和那標誌性的低音怠速仍然有真實需求。當我與長期車主交談時，他們總是回到同兩件事：V8 在合併車道時的那種不耐煩的呼吸，以及它在冷啟動時的聲音。這不是一個電子表格的指標——更像是車道劇院。 為什麼這很重要：這預示著一種對沖。即使電氣化擴展，一些買家仍然將個性置於千瓦時之上。 現實世界的解讀：預期 V8 配置的可用性將比去年更好，並且可能會有一些刺激的特別版來保持生產線的運行。 BMW 取消 V8 和 V12 的結束日期 在一個更安靜但同樣具有象徵意義的舉動中，BMW 據報導已經取消了其 V8 和 V12 生產的結束日期。考慮到...
