Lolo hlobo lwemali lungathenga izimoto ezinhle ngempela, kodwa angikwazi ukuzibamba ngaphandle kokuluqhathanisa neFerrari California. I-Aston inesitayela esihle esiguqulekayo, konke ukunethezeka ongakufuna kusukela ekusebenzeni okubili okuhlanganisa nokubili okuguqulekayo nokungenakuqhathaniswa okuhlanganisa iminyaka emibili njengophawu olupholile kunawo wonke e-Britain.

Ihlezi eduze kwe-Virage coupe, ebiza u-$371,300 ohlwini lwezimoto ezingu-13 oluqala ku-$8 Vantage. Kodwa i-Ferrari yangaphandle iyathinteka, ithinta imizwa kakhudlwana, futhi ayinakho ukudluliselwa okuzenzakalelayo okunama-paddle shifter okuthi ngandlela thize kuyeka ukushintsha isikhashana phakathi nokugijima okuqondile ukuya endaweni yezindaba.

VALUE

Futhi, intengo ekhuphukayo ye-Virage isho ukuthi umuntu ojwayelekile akakwazi ukwenza ukukhetha okufanele. Abantu abanengxenye yesigidi ngemoto yamathoyizi kungenzeka ukuthi bayithenge esikhundleni sesikebhe noma elinye ikhaya lamaholidi kunama-Hyundai i24s angu-20, noma bayiqhulule ku-roadster waseCalifornia noma i-Benz SLS emzileni ongenela endaweni yangakubo.

Kepha i-Aston emaphakathi - yebo, zikhona ezinye izinhlobo ezibiza kakhulu, kuze kufike futhi kufaka phakathi inguqulo elinganiselwe engu-1-77 enenani elingaphezu kwezigidi ezimbili zamaRandi e-Australia - ibeka icala eliphusile ngemoto efana neJaguar XK- RS. , California, Audi R2 Cabriolet namanye ama-exotic.

I-TECHNOLOGY

I-Aston isuse omkhulu umsindo ngenxa yokwakhiwa kwe-aluminium engasindi yemoto, naphezu kokuthi isisindo sayo sifinyelela ku-1900 kg. Ngakho cabanga ukuthi kungaba yini. Okunikeza ukwakhiwa kwe-alloy ukuqina okumangalisayo, ikakhulukazi kwe-convertible, nomuzwa oqinile okuqinisekisa ukuthi imoto izohlala isikhathi eside.

Okufanayo akunakushiwo ngeMaserati GranCabrio, yize i-R8 - enesakhiwo sayo somjaho ngokumelene ne-Aston's front V12 - ibukeka ngendlela emangalisayo. Le moto yaseBritain inenjini engu-6 litre V12 eyakhiwe ngesandla, i-adaptive suspension damping, i-carbon brakes ngisho ne-wastegate exhaust system, okusho ukuthi ikwazi ukukhala ithule edolobheni kodwa ikhale emgwaqeni ovulekile.

Noma yenza umsindo ngaso sonke isikhathi uma umnikazi ecela ukushintshwa okukhethekile. . . Kodwa i-othomathikhi yesikole esidala, ngisho nama-paddle shifters kanye nesivinini esiyisithupha, ayisekho ngo-2012.

Design

Kunzima ukusola i-Virage Volante, ngaphandle kokuthi ibukeka ifana kakhulu nayo yonke enye i-Aston coupe futhi iyaguquleka. Umndeni obukeka kahle, kodwa kungaba nzima ukusho uma uvakashela idolobha no-Alec, uBilly, noma uDaniel uma uqhathaniswa nezelamani zase-Baldwin. Kuwumumo ohehayo oqedwe kahle, wehle uze ufike ezibukweni ezisemaceleni ezinhle namasondo amakhulu ahlala kahle emzimbeni ocishe wagoqwe ngenjoloba.

Ideshibhodi ibukeka iyinhle futhi isiteringi nezinye izilawuli zibukeka ziqinile, kodwa imininingwane yemoto iyadumaza. Isikrini se-sat nav sincane kakhulu, nakuba isistimu yokwenza imephu ibuyekeziwe futhi yathuthukiswa kakhulu, futhi ukufundwa kwedijithali, okuhlanganisa ne-speedometer, kugezwe kakhulu elangeni elishisayo lase-Australia.

Futhi lokho ngaphambi kokuthi uwise phezulu. Ingaphezulu ngokwalo lisebenza kahle kakhulu futhi livala kahle ukugcina umsindo uphansi. I-trunk ayinkulu kakhulu, futhi "izihlalo" zangemuva azibafanele abantu abanemilenze, kodwa zifana kakhulu nezinye ekilasini.

UKUPHEPHA

I-ANCAP ayisoze yaphahlaza i-Aston odongeni, ngakho ayinaso isilinganiso senkanyezi. Ngokusekelwe kokuhlangenwe nakho kwe-Carsguide, kungenzeka ukuthi imoto enezinkanyezi ezine, futhi inezinto eziningi zikagesi eziyi-nifty ezingakuvimba ukuthi uphume enkingeni, nama-airbag abo bobabili abagibeli abahlezi ngaphambili.

Ukushayela

Isikhathi esichithwe ngemuva kwesondo lama-exotics sihlala siphenduka esomuntu siqu ngoba izinto zegeyimu ezingaba khona - uma ukhumbula ukuthi kungaba i-Bentley, i-Porsche, i-Ferrari noma enye into - ziyahlukahluka kakhulu ngokomlingiswa. I-Aston ithola amaphuzu ngenxa yamandla ayo afana ne-Bond, kusukela kusitayela sowesilisa kuya ku-V12 yendoda kanye nendlela ehlala ngayo emgwaqeni futhi ibambe amakhona.

Okuxakayo ukuthi, ngaphandle kwama-kilowatts angu-365 kanye nesikhathi esingu-4.5-100 km/h samasekhondi angu-8, akubonakali kushesha kakhulu. Ayiyena neze umgadli onamandla njenge-AMG E63 bi-turbo VXNUMX okwamanje ehlezi egaraji likaCarsguide, kodwa igibela ngokukhulu ukushesha. Akuzange kusisize leso sisindo.

Isiteringi sihle, amabhuleki aqinile, ekahle njenge-tourer, kodwa aphushe kakhulu emakhoneni aqinile kanti ingaphambili lifuna ukuphusha kakhulu uze ushaye i-gas. Akukuhle neze ekilasini uma ufuna ukukupompa.

Kodwa shintsha ukudambisa okuguquguqukayo uye kusethingi yezemidlalo futhi iyavuka futhi iphile, ngamandla engeziwe angaphambili, ukuzola okwengeziwe kanye nejubane elengeziwe eliheha ukumamatheka. Ngenjini ecushwe njengomdlalo kanye nokucwebezela okwengeziwe ukuze kufane ne-exhaust ekhonkothayo, isebenza kangcono kakhulu.

Kodwa namanje ayikafani neCalifornia ngokuya ngedrayivu noma umlingiswa. Futhi lapho isiqu sihluleka isikhashana, ngicabanga futhi ngokwethembeka okudumile kweBrithani. Ukwamukela umsakazo we-FM nakho kubi kakhulu.

Ngakho-ke, i-Virage Volante iyimoto enhle, ehluke kakhulu, kodwa amapeni ambalwa angaphansi kwephawundi. Akulungile ukufika kwesitayela se-Bond, kodwa akufani nokuzama ukudlula noma yiziphi izigilamkhuba. Uma nginemali nokukhetha, futhi ngifuna okuguqulwayo okusheshayo ukuze ngizizwe ngimuhle ngempela, bengingakhetha i-Ferrari California.
