Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Bentley Continental 2011

Lena enye yalezi zimoto ezifana ncamashi nendala, uma uyibuka nje. Kodwa uma ubeka i-Bentley Continental GT entsha eduze kwaleyo eyandulelayo, umehluko ubonakala ngokushesha. Leli su lamukelwe ngempumelelo abanye abakhiqizi bezimoto, okubandakanya i-BMW, okuholele endleleni yokuguquguquka esikhundleni sokuguquguquka ekwakhiweni kwezimoto. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, imodeli entsha kufanele ihluke ngokwanele ukuze ikhuthaze amakhasimende akhona ukuthi athuthuke. Ingabe i-Bentley yaphumelela?

VALUE

Ngaphezulu nje kuka-$400,000 emgwaqeni, i-Continental GT iyimodeli ethengeka kakhulu yakwa-Bentley, ehlanganisa izigaba ezingaphezulu zesigaba sokunethezeka kanye nezigaba ezingezansi zomugqa okhethekile nakakhulu wezimoto ezakhiwe ngesandla. Ukubeka imoto esimweni, i-coupe enezicabha ezimbili, enezihlalo ezine iklanyelwe ukuthutha abantu abane ngokunethezeka okuphelele ezwenikazi lonke ngesivinini esimangalisayo futhi yenza umsebenzi ngendlela efanele.

Cabanga ngemoto enkulu, enamandla enetorque enkulu nebhokisi eliphezulu, ingaphakathi elisikwe ngesandla, bese uqala ukuthola isithombe. Ikhishwe ngo-2003 (2004 e-Australia), i-Continental GT kwaba yi-Bentley yokuqala yesimanje yohlobo lwayo ngakho-ke yathola imakethe esilungile. Ikhasimende le-One Oz laze lathumela imoto yalo ephelile e-Australia esikhundleni sokulinda izinyanga ezimbili ukuze ifike ngesikebhe.

I-GT ihole ekusungulweni kabusha kohlobo oluphambili lwaseBrithani oluphethwe ngabakwaVolkswagen futhi manje ibalelwa ekuthengisweni okuningi. Njengomlandeli, i-GT entsha ngeke ibonakale kulula ukuyishayela, kodwa sekunesikhathi phakathi kweziphuzo.

I-TECHNOLOGY

Ngenxa yenjini entsha eyi-W12 ehlukile, ilula futhi inamandla kakhulu kunakuqala, futhi isistimu yokushayela wonke amasondo manje isigudluzwe ngo-60:40 ngemuva ukuze ishayele i-sportier. Injini engu-12 cylinder (okuyizinjini ezimbili ze-V6 ezixhunywe ngemuva) ikhahlela amandla angu-423kW ne-torque engu-700Nm, isuka ku-412kW ne-650Nm.

Ihlanganiswe ne-ZF enhle eyi-6-speed automatic kanye nama-paddle shifters afakwe kukholamu, ijubane lemoto lifinyelele ku-0 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-100 nje, libe ngaphansi kokubili kweshumi kunangaphambili, futhi ijubane elikhulu ngu-4.6 km/h. Akuyona into encane uma ucabangela ukuthi i-GT inesisindo esingu-318kg.

Okokuqala, injini ye-W12 manje isihambisana ne-E85, kodwa siyaqhaqhazela ukucabanga ukuthi izodla ngokushesha amalitha angu-20.7 ngebanga elingu-100 km esilithole nge-98RON (imali egcinwe ethangini elingu-90-litre ingu-16.5). . Satshelwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli kuzokwenyuka cishe ngamaphesenti angama-30, okuzonciphisa kakhulu izinga.

Design

Ngokwesitayela, le moto ine-grille eqondile ngaphambili kanye nomehluko omkhulu phakathi kwamalambu angaphambili namalambu engeziwe nhlangothi zombili njengoba kukhona nama-daytime LEDs.

Amawindi anyusiwe, amalambu angemuva enziwe kabusha aphela, iphinifa langemuva nalo selihlelwe kabusha, linamasondo angu-20 inch njengejwayelekile, namasondo angu-21 inch aseyatholakala.

Ngaphakathi, kufanele ube umlandeli weBentley ukuze uyihlukanise. Kodwa kunzima ukungaqapheli i-30GB touchscreen navigation and entertainment system entsha, ethathelwe ku-VW parts bin. Ibhande lesihlalo sangaphambili lishintshiwe okwenza isihlalo sikhululeke nokwenza kube lula ukufinyelela ezihlalweni zangemuva. Kukhona i-legroom engu-46mm ngaphezulu kubagibeli abangemuva, kodwa isaminyene ohambweni olude.

Ukushayela

Emgwaqeni, imoto izizwa ithule, iqina futhi isabela kakhulu, inikeza umshayeli impendulo eyengeziwe. Kodwa impendulo ye-throttle ihlala icabanga, hhayi ngokushesha, njengoba imoto izilungiselela ukushaja. Uma ingenzi lutho, i-W12 ine-ripple ehlaba umxhwele. Kusimangaze ukushoda kwezinhlelo zokusiza abashayeli ngaphandle kwe-active cruise control.

I-Bentley ithi ayiyona into ehamba phambili kumakhasimende, kodwa ngombono omncane, isixwayiso se-blind-spot ngeke siphambuke, njengoba kuzoba ne-auto braking ukuvimbela ukushayisana kwengemuva. Mayelana nokunye okuthuthukile, iBentley ithe izongeza i-V8 ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka, kodwa ayisho lutho ngenjini engu-4.0 litre ngaphandle kokuthi izoletha ukonga uphethiloli (futhi akungabazeki ukuthi izobiza kancane).
