Ubuhlanya yigama elifanelana ne-Abarth 695 Biposto.

Imoto encane engasile, ekhumulwe yakhumula yagxila, inezihlalo ezimbili kuphela okuyigama layo lesiNtaliyane.

I-Biposto iyona ehamba phambili ye-Fiat 500, kanti ukuhlanya okuhlanyayo kuhlanganisa i-gearbox yomjaho engasavunyelanisiwe, amawindi aseceleni e-perspex, i-matte grey bodywork, ulayini we-carbon-fiber ekhabetheni, kanye namabhuleki amakhulu (uma kuqhathaniswa) namasondo.

Ngisho nalokho okushodayo kuyanezela ekuthandeni - asikho isiphephelo-moya, asikho isihlalo sangemuva, futhi azikho izibambo zeminyango. Ama-vents alungisiwe ukuze anciphise isisindo sabalawuli.

Kunzima ukucabanga ukuthi kungani noma ubani angafuna i-Biposto, ikakhulukazi enenani elincane lama- $65,000 elinamandla okusebenzisa imali engaphezu kuka-$80,000. Uze ushayele.

I-anti-Camry iyaphila ikwenza ufune ukushayela. Zonke izinguquko ebhokisini 'lezimo eziphuthumayo' ziwuhambo oluya kokungaziwa, amandla e-turbo ayangena futhi ayashesha, futhi ikhabethe lishintsha ngokushesha libe ibhokisi lokujuluka lobuchwepheshe obuphezulu ngisho nangosuku lwe-Melbourne engu-22-degree.

I-craziest element u-gearbox we-“dog ring”, oyi-five-speed manual transmission engena-synchrosh ukuze ushintshe kalula. Kuyinto ovame ukuyithola ezimotweni zomjaho ogcwele noma elolini lesikole esidala.

Ifakwe kahle nge-anodized futhi ine-chrome, isishintshi sayo siwumsebenzi wobuciko wangempela, futhi enye imoto iqedwe kahle nge-carbon fiber, ehlukile emotweni.

Futhi lokhu kusho okuningi, lapho u-Abarth usevele wasebenza kumamodeli we-"tributo" ye-Maserati ne-Ferrari.

Enkabeni yeBiposto kuyafana ne-1.4-litre turbo-four etholakala kulezi zimoto - enikeza amandla angu-140kW/250Nm futhi ishayela amasondo angaphambili - kanye nomsebenzi ongawulindela emjahweni wemoto yomgwaqo.

I-Abarth ithi ishaya ku-100 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-5.9, futhi uyayizwa uma ngiyiphusha ngishintsha namagiya. Ubuqili wukwenyuka ngokucijile futhi ngokushesha, bese uqaphela kakhulu ukufanisa ama-rev negiya eliphansi ngenkathi wehlisa.

Ilungise kahle futhi i-lever izogxuma phakathi kwamagiya, kodwa kunezikhathi lapho ingasebenzi kahle. Umnikazi onothando uzivumelanisa nezimo ngokushesha uma kuqhathaniswa, kodwa ngingathanda ukubambisana nochwepheshe webhokisi lamagiya omjaho ukuze ngithole ukuthula kwengqondo kwesikhathi eside.

Imoto idonsa amehlo amaningi esiminyaminyeni, futhi lapho kungekho msindo, kuba nesikhathi esiningi sokucabanga nokudlala.

Ngakho-ke ngishintsha amagiya ngiye phezulu naphansi, ngidlule emakhoneni lapho ibamba kahle ngendlela emangalisayo, futhi ngokuvamile ngenza okomntwana oneminyaka eyisithupha ubudala nge-BMX entsha.
