Bentley Flying Spur 2014 Ukubuyekeza

Ungakwazi ukucashisa kalula isibuyekezo sakamuva se-Bentley's sedan esinezicabha ezine njengesibuyekezo esimaphakathi nempilo. Nokho, kunenkinga ejulile necindezela kakhulu ngemuva kokupholishwa kwe-Flying Spur.

Nakuba amakhasimende acebile akwaBentley engakwazi ukumelana nomthelela wezezimali wokukhuphuka kwamanani kaphethiloli kanye nokuqinisa imithetho yokukhipha umoya, inkampani ingase ibhekane nengxenye yesithathu; ukwehla komnotho ezimakethe ezinkulu zomhlaba.

Ukugcina ukunyakaza nokuzinza kulolu lwandle olungahlaliseki, i-marque yaseBrithani (yize yaseJalimane) iqondise izimakethe ezintsha ezifana neRussia, China neKorea.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, izimbangi ezintsha zivela emkhathizwe.

U-Paul Jones, unjiniyela omkhulu we-Bentley kwezobunjiniyela nokuthuthukiswa kwe-Continental range, uthi ukuncintisana, ikakhulukazi kwePorsche Panamera ezayo, i-Aston Martin Rapide kanye ne-Rolls-Royce ephakathi nendawo engakaqanjwa, izoheha amakhasimende. Ngakho-ke i-mid-life entsha ye-Continental Flying Spur.

“Manje sesikhulise iheheka yemoto ngezinhlobo ezimbili okuyi-560 neSpeed, ngakho amakhasimende angakwazi ukukhetha enobukhazikhazi nobuntofontofo noma esebenza kakhulu,” kusho uJones.

Njengodadewabo onezicabha ezimbili, i-Continental GT, i-Flying Spur eklanywe kabusha ithola inketho esebenza kahle kakhulu ekhuphula injini engu-12 litre 449-cylinder ifinyelele ku-600 kW (XNUMX hp).

I-torque iyamangalisa kakhulu, ifinyelela ku-750Nm ku-1750-5750rpm isuka ku-650Nm, yingakho le modeli yeSpeed ​​​​ikwazi ukuthola amafutha ayo angu-2475kg afinyelele ku-100km/h ngemizuzwana engu-4.8 ehlakaniphile.

I-Flying Spur enezicabha ezine izodayiswa emhlabeni jikelele kule nyanga futhi ifike e-Australia ngoNovemba ngemali elinganiselwa ku-$370,500 kuhlanganisa nentela yezimoto zikanokusho engamaphesenti angu-33. Ijubane cishe lizobiza u-$400,200XNUMX.

Ngaphandle, ingaphakathi lifana kakhulu nemodeli yangaphambili, eyathengiswa ngo-2005.

Kukhona izinguquko ezifana ne-grille enkulu futhi eqondile, ukukhetha okubanzi kopende kanye ne-upholstery, izinto ezithuthukisiwe ezihlanganisa izihlalo zangemuva ezishintshwa amandla, nokuthuthukiswa kokunciphisa umsindo okuhlanganisa ingilazi yefasitela enezingqimba ezinhlanu.

I-suspension isilungisiwe, amasondo angu-19 inch ajwayelekile, amasondo angu-20-inch azikhethela ku-560 futhi ajwayelekile ku-Speed, kanti iSpeed ​​​​ithola ukuguqulwa okukhulu kwenjini ukuze iqine.

I-Bentley ayilindele ukuthi i-Flying Spur entsha izothuthukisa ukuthengiswa kwe-automaker.

Inani elifanayo lama-Bentleys, amayunithi angaba ngu-2008, kulindeleke ukuthi akhiqizwe ngo-10,000 njengoba kwenzeka ngo-2007, okubonisa umonakalo ovela ekuwohlokeni kwezimali okuthulile ezimakethe zomnotho zomhlaba.

Cishe angu-3500 ama-sedan e-Flying Spur okulindeleke ukuthi adayiswe emhlabeni jikelele ezinyangeni ezingu-12.

E-Australia, umphathi wesifunda sase-Bentley u-Ed Stribig ulindele ukuthengiswa kwe-Bentley okungaba ngu-130 ngo-2008, cishe okungama-45 kuzoba yi-Flying Spurs.

Emgwaqeni uyabona ukuthi imoto enkulu lena. Izithombe ziyakhohlisa, zibonisa okubukeka njenge-Commodore ngoba abenzi besitayela basebenzise amajika amahle nama-cones ukuze bafihle ubude bayo obucishe bube ngu-5.3m. Uyazi ukuthi ingadlula enye ithrafikhi (ngisho nasemigwaqweni emikhulu yase-US, lapho kwenzeke khona lokhu kuhlolwa), kodwa uma ushayela amamayela engeziwe, umsebenzi uzoba nzima kakhulu.

Nakuba isiminyaminya singase siminyanise, indlwana ivalwe kahle kangangokuthi amafasitela abukeka njengezikrini ze-TV.

I-Bentley ibe sematheni ngokuthi ingilazi yayo enezingqimba ezinhlanu inciphisa umsindo we-ambient ngo-60% kuthrafikhi kanye no-40% ngesivinini esikhulu. Lokhu kuqhathaniswa neFlying Spur yamanje.

Lokhu kuhle kubagibeli, kodwa umshayeli angase azizwe ehlukanisiwe ngokuphelele nezwe langempela lezimoto.

Ngenhlanhla, kukhona injini ye-W12, imigqa emibili yezinjini eziwumngcingo ze-V6 ezivela kwa-Volkswagen ezifakwe ku-tandem, kanye noguquko olusheshayo lwe-Tiptronic oludonsa ngamagiya ayisithupha ukuze lunonge izinto.

Ikhabethe likhulu: 2750kg lomile, kanye nabagibeli ababili kanye nesisu esigcwele samalitha angama-90, esisebenza sifinyelela kumathani angu-3.1. Kodwa-ke, isasuka emarobhothini kalula ngendlela engenakuqhathaniswa.

I-560 ingumshini osheshayo, kuningi okungalindelwa ku-Speed. Kodwa umehluko ekusebenzeni bekunzima ukuwuqonda, ikhono leFlying Spur lokuhlukanisa i-cockpit ngaphandle. Kodwa akungabazeki ukuthi iSpeed ​​​​iwumshini onolaka, okhombisa ubukhona bayo ngendlela eyodwa kuphela; khulula i-accelerator ngemva kokuduma kwe-fang ne-exhaust.

Kunjalo, lokho kugquma kwebhesi okujulile kuthuliswe ngobuciko. Kodwa ikhona, futhi i-Bentley ikuvumela ukuthi uyizwe.

Nakuba ukusheshisa kuncomeka, okungcono nakakhulu ububanzi bawo obumaphakathi, lapho ukudlula kushesha ngokumangalisayo. Amabhuleki ayamangaza nje. UBentley uthi lawa masondo angu-405mm makhulu kunawo wonke emotweni ekhiqizayo kanye neSpeed, kanti makhulu kakhulu njengoba angu-420mm ngaphambili uma engakhethwa ngamasondo e-carbon.

Ukunethezeka kokugibela kunjengokulindelekile, futhi ukuphatha kulula futhi kuyajabulisa emehlweni. Ama-organ stop ventilation regulators ahlaba umxhwele ukusebenza kwawo kanye nokusebenziseka kalula.
