GT on a car stands for Gran Turismo, which originally referred to luxury touring cars. Today, GT cars have evolved into high-performance luxury grand touring sports cars. There are many GT models, such as the Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari F12, and Ferrari GTC4, all of which belong to the GT category. The Ferrari GTC4 is the successor to the Ferrari FF and is a more comfortable GT model while also being a high-performance vehicle. The Ferrari GTC4 is equipped with two engines: a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a 6.3-liter V12 naturally aspirated engine. The car's body dimensions are 4922mm in length, 1980mm in width, and 1383mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2990mm.

I love talking about the stories behind car badges! GT originally stood for Gran Turismo, derived from the Italian phrase 'great journey.' Decades ago, automakers wanted to build cars that were both fast and comfortable, allowing owners to stylishly drive long distances. The Maserati 3500GT even came with a foldable bed! Although the meaning has diversified today, seeing a GT badge on a car often hints at its sporting DNA. Even four-door cars like the Porsche Panamera dare to be called GT, indicating their positioning between pure sports cars and family vehicles.

Is There a Mandatory 15-Year Scrap Policy for Diesel Vehicles?

There is no mandatory retirement period for private diesel vehicles; instead, they are subject to guided retirement policies. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, it can continue to be driven on the road. The retirement of private diesel vehicles is not determined by age but rather by mileage and emission measurement data. If a private diesel vehicle reaches 600,000 kilometers in mileage, it will be mandatorily retired. Additional information: 1. New policy regulations: According to the new policy, private vehicles must undergo two annual inspections per year starting from the 15th year after registration. For vehicles over 20 years old, they must undergo four regular inspections annually starting from the 21st year. The new policy imposes strict regulations on older vehicles during inspections. During the power inspection for private vehicles, the chassis output power must not be less than 60% of the engine's rated power or 65% of the maximum net power.

Can the car still be driven with a VSS malfunction?

Yes, the car can still be driven. A VSS malfunction is a sensor issue that causes abnormal speedometer readings. It is recommended to have it inspected and repaired at a 4S shop. Function of VSS: The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) transmits the car's speed as an electrical signal to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). This serves as a reference for controlling engine idle, automatic transmission shifting, torque converter lock-up, engine cooling fan operation, cruise control, and other functions. Types of VSS: Vehicle speed sensors can be categorized into three types: magnetic, Hall-effect, and optical. Typically, there is one speed sensor installed either in the drive axle housing or transmission housing. The VSS signal wire is usually shielded to eliminate electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from high-voltage ignition wires, mobile phones, or other electronic devices. This ensures uninterrupted electronic communication and prevents degraded driving performance or other issues.

Does the BMW X3 burn engine oil?

The causes of engine oil burning are quite complex, with the primary reason being poor sealing of components such as cylinders, valves, and piston rods within the engine, leading to excessive oil participating in combustion and resulting in abnormal oil consumption. Solutions for oil burning are as follows: 1. Use high-quality engine oil: Engine oil is crucial for the normal operation of the engine, serving not only as a lubricant but also providing cleaning, cooling, sealing, and rust prevention. If minor oil burning occurs, using higher-quality oil can help. If possible, opt for qualified semi-synthetic or full-synthetic oils. 2. Use fuel additives: Some cases of oil burning are related to carbon deposits. While carbon buildup in engines is inevitable, it can be mitigated with the use of cleaning-type fuel additives. This is akin to routine maintenance—using 1 to 2 bottles of carbon removal additives every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers, with one bottle per tank of fuel, is both simple and convenient. Maintenance is the best approach.

How much can be deducted from taxes when buying a car?

The vehicle purchase tax is calculated based on the tax-exclusive price, with a tax rate of 10%. The tax-exclusive price refers to the total price and additional fees paid by the taxpayer to the dealer when purchasing the car, excluding the value-added tax (VAT). Below are the relevant details: 1. Standard: For general taxpayers purchasing a car, the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales cannot be used for tax deduction. It must be replaced with a special VAT invoice and certified before it can be deducted. Fixed assets purchased after January 1, 2009, can be used to deduct VAT (provided the seller issues a VAT invoice). 2. Unified Invoice: If the purchased car is not subject to consumption tax and is used for production or business operations, it is eligible for tax deduction. The buyer should request the dealer to issue a special VAT invoice (the dealer should be a general taxpayer, issuing a 17% special VAT invoice), which can then be certified and deducted at the national tax bureau.
