Let’s talk about a few details about the car in the movie. People who don’t study cars may not understand
. First of all, about the car in the movie
1. Zhongliyi’s Nissan GTR, nicknamed “God of War”, as Nissan’s top sports car, a few Over the past ten years, GTR has a very good reputation, both on the professional track and in the public. Huh, and then clamoring to buy a GTR, by the way, Lamborghini LP640 was also its defeat.
2. The Toyota AE86 of Fujiwara Takukai, the current model has been renamed Toyota 86, is a well-known civilian-level sports car in Japan. It is relatively simple, easy to modify, reliable and durable. It has been a frequent visitor to various small events and folk events for a long time.
3. The Mitsubishi LancerEvo of Sudo Keiichi may be because there are many mountain roads in Japan and few highways. Japanese brands have many sports cars with small displacement, affordable price but first-class control. LancerEvo is also one of them, but compared to Toyota For the AE86, the engine is more advanced and the power is stronger, but the body is heavier. In the film, Jingyi is a professional driver. His Evo is obviously modified, and the power and handling should be better than the original one.
4. Ryosuke Takahashi's Mazda Savanna RX-7 (FC-3S) is called FC in comics and movies, but its official model is called RX-7, which is also Mazda's main sports car in the early years. Excellent, it is no problem to compete with the Mitsubishi LancerEvo after the modification.

Interpretation of some shots in the movie
1. It can be seen that no matter who it is, it is necessary to downshift when accelerating, including acceleration before entering a corner (from the movie, it is almost always pulled back, it should be down from 4th to 3rd gear ), slammed on the accelerator after exiting the curve and went up to 4th gear. The director guessed that he wanted to popularize common sense for those friends who upshift and overtake.

2. Japanese cars drive on the right, so the driver's seat is on the right.

3. Generally, the tires of the cars used for competition are very wide and large, and the aspect ratio of the tires is also small, but the tires of the AE86 are very ordinary (at least it looks like this), and it looks like it is really just a family car. It is to highlight its unpretentious but outstanding characteristics, which are well described in the comics.

4. In the film, why did Tuohai explode when he encountered Jingyi in Qiu Mingshan? Because the car with manual transmission needs to shift manually, if you don’t shift the gear and keep stepping on the accelerator, the engine speed is always in the red line area (high load) area, the cylinder will explode and the engine will be scrapped, but the lower the gear, the higher the torque at high speed. In the film, Tuohai always wanted to overtake, but he could only slam on the accelerator in 3rd and 4th gear, and the engine speed was always in the red line area, so the cylinder exploded. This is the trouble that the car's performance limit caused to Tuohai.

5. The speed at the red line area seems to be 13,000 rpm in the racing engine that Wentai installed in the AE86. The red line speed of an ordinary family car’s engine is basically at 6,000 or 7,000 rpm, so that engine should be a professional racing engine at that time.

6. In the second half of the film, at the end of the last race, you can see the red light inside the tire when Ryosuke cornered the tire. That is the light emitted by the brake caliper heating up when driving hard. To put it bluntly, it is being rubbed. red hot
