Blogger disassembled the GAC GS8: Shumka made of “noodles” and glass wool – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

The amplifier inside the body, according to Sviridov, seems unreliable and more practical solutions have been found in the Chinese car workshop.

Another unusual feature found on the GAC GS8: if you remove the bumper or dim the lights, the car turns into real estate. Consequently, if during an accident the impact on this area is strong enough, you may not be able to leave the accident scene on your own. The fifth door has unusual reinforcements made by stamping metal “under the curve”: they rest on the back of the front part of the trunk lid and are attached to it not by welding, but by a composition of unknown origin, presumably an adhesive. -sealant.

The floor panel deforms when pressed, the thickness of the sills, together with the not very massive central pillars of the body and the hollow arches, do not inspire confidence. The power structure is represented by two amplifiers in the front of the cabin, and inside the doors there are stamped amplifiers.

The seam sealant is distributed unevenly and extremely sloppily. All this is hidden behind rugs made of a material that resembles glass wool.

Returning to the lower part, we find reinforcements for the rear part of the body, made as a side member. The location of the drive shaft, which shares a niche with the catalytic converter, seems “Chinese”. The rear air conditioning and heating pipes are located on the left side and are covered with grilles, but going off the road can still have consequences.

According to Sviridov, the GAC GS8 model is “designed for three years of operation.”
