Uhlolojikelele lwe-Aston Martin B8 2011
UNGATHENGA iVantage, i-junior sports car yakwa-Aston Martin, enenjini engu-V12 ngaphansi kwesivalo, kanti nakuba sengike ngazama isikhashana kodwa ngingakutshela ukuthi imoto elingana ne-hatchback enamandla angu-380kW ingasabisa kakhulu. Iphuma ne-manual transmission engeke ifanele wonke umuntu futhi ibiza ngaphezu kweVirage.
Iphinde ibe ngu-$104,000 ngaphezu kwenguqulo yenjini ye-V8. I-Vantage S, njenge-Virage, isendaweni ejabulisayo phakathi kwama-extras amabili ale moto. Futhi njengeVirage, imoto entsha ihamba phambili ohlwini.
I-TECHNOLOGY
Uma kuqhathaniswa ne-V8 evamile, eshibhe ngo-$16,000, i-S ithola ukuthuthukiswa kokusebenza okuningi. Injini ishuniwe ukuthi ilethe amandla athe xaxa kanye ne-torque, iphusha isivinini esiphezulu sifike ku-305 mph, kanti u-gearbox wamagiya ayisikhombisa uwuhlobo olusheshayo olushintshashintshayo lwerobhothi lika-Aston elinamagiya abuyekeziwe. Ihlelwe kabusha ukuze yenze izindlela zokupaka zibe lula ngokususa isici sangaphambilini "sokukhasa".
Kukhona nesiteringi esisheshayo, amabhuleki amakhulu anama-piston caliper ayisithupha ngaphambili, ithrekhi yangemuva ebanzi, ama-springs amasha nama-dampers, kanye nesistimu yokulawula ukuzinza kwe-electronic evuselelwe.
Ingaphandle ihlanganisa ama-mesh hood vents, i-carbon fibre bodykit (enesihlukanisi sangaphambili nesihlukanisi sangemuva), amaseyili aseceleni kanye nodebe lwangemuva olugqame kakhudlwana.
Izinguquko zithonywe inguqulo ye-GT4 yomjaho futhi umphumela waba iphakheji elihlangene kodwa elinenjongo. Imoto engangiyishayela yayinezihlalo ezilula futhi, ngokuphambene nalokho okwakulindelwe, zazinethezekile usuku lonke.
Ukushayela
Kodwa le moto akuyona i-tourer enkulu. Ukuthungwa okucocekile nezinye izinto zangaphakathi ziyi-veneer ephaketheni le-sports car eluhlaza njenganoma yini ekuleli zinga. I-Vantage S ngeke ikuvumele ukhohlwe ukuthi uyashayela.
I-chassis ibhalansile futhi iqaphile, futhi isiteringi siqondile ngokuzwakala okukhulu. I-throttle namabhuleki anesisindo esihle, futhi imoto iklomelisa ukunemba nezindlela, njengokubhuleka komugqa oqondile.
Njengebhonasi, injini ijabulisa izindlebe kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ikusiphi isigaba, noma ngabe iyashesha, iyagwinya noma iyashesha. Nokho, ingaphezu kwengoma. Le Vantage S ithatha isivinini, ikakhulukazi uma ihamba. Isibonisi segiya siphenduka sibebomvu ku-7500 rpm ukuze sikwazise ukukhuphuka. Kufanele ulandele lokhu.
Izincwadi zamarobhothi azifani neziguquli ezizenzakalelayo zetorque ngokwesiko ngokwentuthuko, futhi lokhu akusahlukile. Kukhona isigaxa soshintsho nokuklabalasa okuvela ngezansi. Ngemodi ezenzakalelayo, uzovuma ngekhanda njalo uma uphakamisa.
Umswakama uyabonakala nasendleleni etholakala ngasohlangothini lwemoto eyisports entekenteke. Kodwa isici esibi kakhulu semoto kwakuwumsindo wamasondo owedlulele ophazanyiswa isikhathi esiningi. Ukuvimbela umsindo akuyona inketho ye-aftermarket, ngakho-ke i-Bridgestone Potenza kuzodingeka ishintshwe.
Futhi, ngokungafani ne-Virage, i-Vantage S isebenza kanzima ne-Aston sat-nav endala nesistimu yokulawula ehambisana nokuvukela ecaleni lethu lokuhlola.
Ngakho hlanganisa ikhathalogi yakho yomgwaqo bese uhlela uhambo oluya kwa-Bob Jane's, ngoba uma kungenjalo i-Vantage S ifanele ukuba sohlwini lokuthenga lwanoma ubani ocabangela i-Porsche 911.
