As a post-95 generation who has not worked for a long time, I am obsessed with and love for racing activities, and I am eager for the hearty and joyful drift of the center of gravity in high-speed cornering brought by a foot on the accelerator. But for a slash youth with a low salary, there are actually very few opportunities to really drive a car, so when I heard the news of the opening of Yixuan Racing Academy, I hurriedly signed up to experience it.

On February 26, 2024, Dongfeng Fengshen and Lisheng Racing Academy officially signed an agreement, Lisheng Racing Academy announced that from now on, more than 50 training vehicles in Beijing, Shanghai and Zhuzhou will all be switched to Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan, and at the same time, the national linkage of Dongfeng Fengshen Racing Academy will be officially unveiled. On the day of the event, the 2024 Yixuan was officially launched, and Yixuan was positioned as "the first sports coupe for young people", of which 1The price of the 5L Jinsu version is 7790,000 yuan, 1The price of the 5T Jinqing version is 8790,000 yuan.

At the new car launch conference and the launching ceremony of the racing academy, Huang Fujin, the chief instructor of Dongfeng Fengshen Academy and a double-sided racing driver, came to the scene and made a detailed analysis of Yixuan's performance, which made the participants addicted. The exterior and interior are cool and aggressiveAt first sight, I saw Yixuan, and it didn't feel like a car worth tens of thousands of yuan at all, with a sense of luxury and ferocity. The front face is domineering and fierce, with blackened grille + orange and yellow embellishment, and a large-area sports grille, full of impact. On the side is a coupe-style body, with a slightly slippery and dynamic feel. At the rear, there is a double-layered wide-body rear wing with bilateral chrome exhaust pipes for a sporty look.

Open the door, the interior of Yixuan adopts the cool black dimension racing cockpit as a whole, with the driver-centered enveloping design, which strengthens the identity of the driver, coupled with the gamepad steering wheel, the e-sports mecha air outlet and the e-sports cockpit IP design, it is easy to awaken the impulse to drive.

The wrapping and comfort of the Yixuan seat are very good, especially the wrapping of the side wing support is in place, so that the car can get strong support from the side wing even if it corners at high speed, which can be more stable and safer.

All models are powered by MachAfter looking at the appearance, the racing academy has opened, and the friends are eager to try it and sit in the cockpit one after another. Start the engine, step on the accelerator slightly, immediately feel the enthusiasm of the engine, give a little oil, there is an urge to burst out, the power output is strong and powerful.

As we all know, the engine is the soul of the racing car, and all Yixuan models are equipped with Mach power, and some models are equipped with 1The 5-liter direct-injection engine is equipped with a 1-liter engine on some models5T direct-injection turbocharged engine. The Yixuan we test-drove is equipped with Dongfeng Mach Power 1The 5T engine has won the title of "China's Heart" Top Ten Engines for many times, and all kinds of dark technologies have achieved greater power output with a smaller displacement, although the displacement is only 15t, the maximum power reaches 197 horsepower, which can be analogous to many joint venture 20T engine low-power version. The maximum output torque reaches 300 Nm, which is more than most engines in its class on the market.

Powerful power performance, strong power output, and give drivers valuable track confidence. With a tap of the throttle, you can feel the power is light and sensitive; When you step on it slightly, you can immediately feel the feeling of pushing back from your back; On a straight straight racing track, you press the accelerator pedal with one foot to the end, the surging power comes from behind you, and the roar of the exhaust pipe is heard in an instant, and then the car is shot out like an arrow, which makes people's adrenaline secretion surge and brings great excitement.

It is very rare that although the power output of Yixuan is very strong, the engine design incorporates various energy-saving technologies, and the actual fuel consumption is not high, and the official comprehensive energy consumption is only 582L, at the same level as engines in the same class. While enjoying the thrill of driving, you don't have to pay for high fuel consumption, which is very commendable. Dynamic control feelsThe most maneuverable tests on the track are the pile-wrapping and elk tests. Such a difficult maneuver is a test for ordinary vehicles, and the loose chassis and suspension can almost throw people out when cornering at high speeds, but Yixuan obviously can't.

First of all, in terms of integrity, the Yixuan body adopts 1500MPa and other hot-formed plates, accounting for 82% of the platform skeleton, forming a cage-shaped skeleton of steel and iron bones, which makes the body integrity and integrity better. In terms of more critical chassis tuning, Yixuan's chassis is tuned by the CTCC CEC champion team, and the integrity and solidity have the experience of obvious European cars. In addition, in order to reduce roll and improve comfort, the front shock absorber tower is designed with a native anti-roll bar structure, and it is also equipped with a damping adaptive shock absorber, which can change with speed and stroke, improving comfort and handling.

In the actual high-speed pile winding and high-speed cornering, you can feel the Yixuan chassis solid, the integrity is very strong, even if the high-speed cornering will not feel loose stretching, especially the anti-roll bar structure is equipped with more obvious reduction of roll, strengthen the support, the center of gravity quickly returns after rapid drift, greatly improving the driver's control confidence. With one foot on the accelerator and a good grip on the steering wheel, the car will cleanly complete the action around the pile in some bumpy roads and speed bump tests, and you can feel the sports foundation of the chassis more, the road sense is clear, and even the granularity of the gravel can be felt, which makes people feel the driving of the integration of people and vehicles in detail, bringing the pleasure of heartbeat.

SummaryAfter a half-day of testing, the Track Academy has finally come to an end. To summarize the impression of Yixuan, the new car has a cool and dynamic appearance, a racing interior on the track, coupled with the thrill of high-speed cornering brought by the champion chassis and Mach engine, which makes it easy to fall in love with this speed machine. What is particularly gratifying is that although this car has excellent performance, can ignite blood at any time, and the entry threshold is not high at all, the positioning of "the first sports coupe for young people" is indeed well deserved.
