95: Chapter 95 A Man's Big Toy!

Chen Fan nodded.

"Sure."

Seeing him agree, the smile on Zhou Hong's face instantly deepened.

"Very well, Mr. Chen."

"The temporary test-drive license plates have already been prepared in advance, and the route is our standard test-drive route; it won't interfere with normal traffic throughout the journey."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the side.

"Install the temporary plates, and arrange for a support vehicle to follow."

"Yes, Manager Zhou."

Several staff members immediately sprang into action.

Some checked the vehicle, while others installed the temporary license plates.

Others did a quick check of the vehicle's condition.

A few minutes later, everything was ready.

Zhou Hong personally opened the car door.

"Mr. Chen, please."

Chen Fan stepped on the pedal and sat into the driver's seat once again.

Bang!

As the heavy door closed completely.

The whole world seemed to go quiet.

Outside the exhibition hall, people were still coming and going, but through the car door, the noise seemed to be separated by a thick layer of cotton.

Only a faint, muffled sound could be heard.

Chen Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"The soundproofing is this good?"

Zhou Hong sat in the passenger seat and nodded with a smile.

"Of course. After all, this vehicle is designed with safety in mind; the thickness of the doors and the glass can't be compared to ordinary SUVs."

"So, the soundproofing is naturally very good."

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

Then he placed his hands on the steering wheel.

The steering wheel was a size thicker than that of an ordinary SUV.

The grip felt very solid.

It didn't feel flimsy like many luxury cars.

Instead, it gave one a sense of heft and reliability.

He pressed the start button.

The next second.

Vroom!

The engine started slowly.

It didn't have the high-pitched, piercing roar of a sports car.

Instead, it was a low, deep, and resonant sound.

Like a steel behemoth waking from a deep slumber, slowly opening its eyes.

The entire car body only gave a slight tremor.

Chen Fan shifted gears, released the brake, and the car started moving steadily immediately.

"Hmm?"

It wasn't as clumsy as he had imagined; on the contrary, it was very smooth.

The six-ton behemoth didn't have the slightest bit of sluggishness.

"How does it feel?" Zhou Hong asked with a smile.

Chen Fan nodded, "It's much easier to drive than I imagined."

"Many people who experience it for the first time say the same thing."

"Although it's huge, the chassis is very stable, and the steering has been specially tuned. Once you get used to it, it's actually easier to handle than many large SUVs."

As they spoke, the knight xv slowly drove out of the exhibition area.

As soon as it appeared, many people outside had their gazes drawn to it.

"Good heavens!"

"It's so big!"

"Look! It's coming out!"

"Quick, take a picture! That's the one!"

Quite a few people outside who had heard the commotion hadn't left yet.

Now that they saw the car moving, they immediately raised their phones.

Many streamers even trotted along to follow it.

In the livestream chat, the comments were scrolling rapidly.

"Damn, can this car really be driven on the road?"

"This sense of oppression..."

"Why does it feel like a presidential vehicle from a movie?"

"That Range Rover next to it looks like a toy."

"Which big shot is here to look at cars?"

...

Chen Fan naturally didn't know any of this; he slowly pressed the accelerator.

The knight xv drove steadily out of the auto show.

Arriving at the test-drive road outside.

There was quite a bit of traffic in Jianghai City today, but as soon as the knight xv appeared, surrounding vehicles almost instinctively kept their distance.

A white BMW nearby had originally intended to merge lanes.

But when it saw the black behemoth next to it, it quietly steered back and obediently followed behind.

"..."

The BMW driver swallowed his saliva.

"Forget it."

"Can't afford to offend that."

The woman in the passenger seat couldn't help but raise her phone.

"Whoa..."

"Honey, what kind of car is that?"

"Isn't it just too cool?"

"Quick, quick, follow it!"

"I want to take pictures!"

...

Chen Fan held the steering wheel.

The field of vision was extremely high, and the road ahead was completely unobstructed.

This feeling was completely different from driving an ordinary sedan.

It was like standing on high ground overlooking the entire road, giving a full sense of security.

A whole row of speed bumps appeared ahead, and Zhou Hong spoke up.

"Mr. Chen, you don't need to intentionally slow down."

"Just drive over them normally to see."

Chen Fan nodded.

He maintained his speed and drove straight over.

Thump.

It was just a slight jolt.

There was almost no significant feeling.

It was like driving over a slightly raised floor tile.

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, "It's this stable?"

"Of course. After all, the weight is there."

Zhou Hong laughed, "With a six-ton curb weight, combined with the suspension tuning, it basically doesn't feel these small bumps and dips at all."

Chen Fan was becoming more and more satisfied. He continued forward.

Soon, they arrived at a relatively empty stretch of road.

Zhou Hong said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, the road conditions for the next stretch are good. You can experience the power a little."

"Alright."

Chen Fan nodded.

He gently pressed the accelerator.

Vroom!

Instantly, the engine let out a low roar.

The front of the car also lifted slightly.

The massive body began to accelerate continuously.

It wasn't the explosive feeling of a sports car shooting forward instantly.

But a continuous, inexhaustible power.

Like a moving mountain.

Steadily pushing forward.

The speed kept increasing.

Yet there was no feeling of floating whatsoever.

The entire car body was shockingly stable.

Chen Fan even had an illusion.

As if he wasn't driving a car.

But pushing a moving fortress.

This sense of heft made one feel inexplicably at ease.

Just at this moment.

A commercial vehicle ahead was preparing to change lanes to overtake.

However, the driver took a look in the rearview mirror.

The next second, his eyes widened instantly.

"Holy crap!"

In the rearview mirror.

A jet-black steel behemoth was slowly approaching.

That sense of oppression rushed towards him instantly.

He didn't hesitate at all.

He immediately swerved back.

"What the hell is that?"

Inside the commercial vehicle, several passengers also turned their heads.

"What car is this?"

"Are you sure this car is street-legal?"

"Are they filming a movie?"

"Record it! Quick!"

...

Throughout the test drive.

Wherever the knight xv went, the head-turning rate was almost one hundred percent.

There were children standing by the side of the road, their eyes wide open.

Pulling on their father's hand.

"Daddy!"

"Transformers!"

The father was amused and helpless.

"It's not a Transformer."

"But... it's not far off."

There were also several young people.

Who were originally standing on the side of the road taking pictures.

Seeing the knight xv pass by.

They immediately turned all their cameras towards it.

"Too domineering!"

"Could this car sell for like thirty or fifty bucks?"

The companion next to him rolled his eyes, "No way, at least seventy or eighty bucks, hmm... just the cost of pressing the accelerator once."

...

Twenty minutes later.

The test-drive route was completed.

Chen Fan had also gradually become familiar with the vehicle.

The biggest feeling wasn't speed.

But stability, extreme stability.

Sitting inside.

It even made one feel an inexplicable sense of security.

It seemed that the wind and rain outside had nothing to do with him.

He seemed to like this feeling very much.

Zhou Hong had been observing Chen Fan's expression.

Seeing that there was always a smile on his face.

He gradually felt confident in his heart.

It seemed that this car deal was likely a success.

Soon, the knight xv drove back to the entrance of the auto show.

Many people recognized it from afar.

"Look!"

"It's back!"

"That's the one from just now!"

Tourists who had originally planned to leave.

Gathered around again.

Many streamers pointed their live broadcast cameras directly here.

"Holy cow!"

"The more I look at this car, the cooler it gets."

"The sense of oppression is absolutely maxed out!"

"This is the big toy that every man dreams of!"

"Streamer, streamer, go ask how much it costs."

"Don't bother, knowing the price will just make it worse."
