I-Final Ford Falcon GT isithengisiwe
AbakwaFord bathi i-GT-F izosuselwa enguqulweni elinganiselwe ye-R-Spec ye-Falcon GT.
I-FORD idayise wonke ama-Falcon GT angu-500 akamuva ngaphambi kokuba kwakhiwe eyokuqala, futhi abathengisi nabathengi abashisekayo bacela okwengeziwe.
Wonke ama-sedans angu-500 e-Falcon GT-F (enguqulo "yokugcina") aqondiswe e-Australia asethengiselwe abathengisi futhi iningi lezimoto selinamagama amakhasimende.
Ngaphandle kokuthi abakwaFord bakhe ama-GT-F angu-50 kanye nama-Pursuits angu-120 e-New Zealand, abathengisi bathi abakwaFord abakaze bakhe ama-sedan e-GT anele futhi bacele ukuthi leyo nombolo iphindeke kabili.
Kodwa kwaFord bathi ngeke kusaba khona ngoba banqunyelwe ukuthi zingaki izinjini ezingama-V8 ezikwazi ukuzihlanganisa ngesandla endaweni yomhlangano yesikhashana eduze nolayini wenjini yeGeelong eyi-six cylinder.
“KwaFord bakuthathe kancane,” kusho omunye umdayisi ocele ukungadalulwa ngoba lokho kuzophazamisa ukusatshalaliswa kwezimoto. “Leli yithuba elikhulu eligejiwe. Angicabangi ukuthi abakwaFord bayayiqonda imakethe eshisekayo."
Ngesikhathi abakwaFord bethula umdlalo okhethekile we-Falcon GT "Cobra" ngo-2007 i-Bathurst 1000 - ukugubha iminyaka engu-30 u-Allan Moffat no-Colin Bond beqeda ngo 1-2 - zonke izimoto ezingu-400 zathengiswa ngobuningi kubathengisi engakapheli amahora angu-48.
“Abafundanga lutho kulesi sigameko,” kusho omunye umdayisi wakwaFord naye ocele ukungadalulwa. “Izimfezi zadayisa ngokuphazima kweso, kanti bekungebona abokugcina. Le Falcon GT ingeyokugcina, okuncane abangakwenza wukunikeza abantu abaningi ithuba lokuthenga imoto.”
Abathengisi baphikelela ukuthi wonke ama-Falcon GT-F athengisa ngentengo ephakanyisiwe yokudayisa engu-$77,990 kanye nezindleko zokuhamba. “Asivunyelwe ukuwakhokhisa imali eyengeziwe, kodwa wonke adayiswa ngenani eliphelele,” kusho omunye umdayisi wakwaFord. "Ngeke bakhiphe idola kulezi zimoto ngoba zizothengwa ngomunye." Abadayisi nabo bakhathazekile ngokuthi bathi iFord ayihambisani nama-automatic transmissions.
I-GT-F kubikwa ukuthi ingu-62% ozishintshayo kanye no-38% oshintshwayo, kodwa abadayisi bakwaFord bathi lesi sibalo kudingeke ukuthi sishintshwe ngoba abathengi abathanda izinto ezishintshayo bancamela ezishintshayo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-Ford ithi phakathi nokuphila kwe-Falcon GT yesimanje, ukuthunyelwa kwe-manual kwakune-26% kuphela yokuthengisa. “Wonke amamanuwali awasekho,” kusho omunye umdayisi wakwaFord. "Uma usifuna manje, udinga ukuthola isibhamu somshini futhi ungakhethi umbala."
Nokho, ngokuphambene nempendulo yomthengisi, abakwaFord Australia batshele iCarsguide ukuthi bekunesikhathi sokwandisa izinketho zokuhambisa ngesandla ngaphambi kokuba ukukhiqizwa kuqale phakathi nezinyanga ezimbili ezizayo.
Imibala emihlanu izotholakala, okuhlanganisa emibili kuphela ye-GT-F - eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngokugqamile nokumpunga okumnyama. Futhi zonke izimoto zizofika nesethi eyingqayizivele yezitikha.
AbakwaFord abakakakhiphi izithombe noma imininingwane ye-Falcon GT-F; kufanele ihanjiswe ngoJuni. I-GT-F kulindeleke ukuthi ibe nebheji engu-351, ekhombisa ukuphuma kwayo kwe-kilowatt, kanye nokunqekuzisa ikhanda kusayizi we-V8 ku-falcon GT-HO yango-1970.
AbakwaFord bathi i-GT-F izosuselwa ohlotsheni lwe-R-Spec limited edition ye-Falcon GT ekhishwe ezinyangeni ezingu-18 ezedlule, ngaphambi nje kokuba iFord Performance Vehicles ivale iminyango yayo futhi iFord Australia ithathe amathambo alo msebenzi, okuyi-command assembly of izinjini. .
I-GT-F kulindeleke ukuthi ibe i-Falcon GT eshesha kakhulu kwezake zakhiwa. Sibonga i-V5.0 eshajwe kakhulu engu-8 litre namasondo angemuva abanzi ukuyisiza ukuthi isuke emzileni ngendlela yokubamba "start-up" yemoto yomjaho, kufanele isuke ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-4.5.
Ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-351kW Falcon GT-F, i-335kW Ford XR8 izokwethulwa neFalcon range evuselelwe kusukela ngoSepthemba 2014 kuze kube i-nameplate yemoto endala kunazo zonke yase-Australia ifinyelela ekupheleni kolayini ngaphambi kuka-Okthoba 2016.
Njengoba kubikiwe phambilini, iCarsguide itshelwe ukuthi kunezinhlelo eziyimfihlo zokwenza iFalcon GT yakamuva ikhiphe amandla abe ngaphezu kwesiqongo esingu-351kW eqeda ngaso.
Imithombo eyimfihlo ithi iFord Performance Vehicles engasekho ikhiphe amandla angu-430kW ku-V8 egcwele amandla ngesikhathi isakhiwa, kodwa abakwaFord baziphikisa lezo zinhlelo ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngokuthembeka - namandla kachassis, gearbox, driveshaft kanye neFalcon differential. ukubhekana nokukhononda okungaka.
“Besinamandla angu-430 kW kudala ngaphambi kokuthi kube nokwazi ukuthi iHSV izoba no-430 kW kulayini. entsha GTS", - kusho ongaphakathi. “Kodwa ekugcineni, iFord yehlisa ijubane. Amandla singawathola kalula, kodwa babone kungenangqondo ngokwezimali ukwenza zonke izinguquko emotweni esele ukuze ikwazi ukuyiphatha.”
Ngokwesimo sayo samanje, i-Falcon GT ishaya kafushane u-375kW "i-overboost" ehlala imizuzwana engu-20, kodwa abakwaFord abakwazi ukulibiza lelo nani ngoba alihlangabezani neziqondiso zokuhlola zamazwe ngamazwe.
