Ford 351 GT uyabuya
IFord Falcon GT yakamuva izoba nama-tweaks athile enziwe ku-FPV R-Spec ekhishwe ngo-2012.
I-FORD isilungele ukuvuselela i-nameplate edumile ye-351 yenguqulo yokugcina isithonjana se-GT Falcon - isinyathelo esizogcina siqede wonke amathemba nezinhlelo eziyimfihlo zenguqulo yesimanje ye-GT-HO.
Esikhundleni sokuchaza umthamo wenjini engu-V8 yohlobo oludumile lwango-1970 - ngaleso sikhathi i-sedan esheshayo emhlabeni - inombolo engu-351 kulokhu ibhekisela ekukhishweni kwamandla e-V8 athuthukisiwe e-Falcon GT.
Kukholakala ukuthi kwaFord banyuse izinga le-Falcon GT isuka ku-335kW yaya ku-351kW njengengxenye yemodeli elinganiselwe ezoqala phakathi nonyaka. Iqoqo lezimoto ezingu-500 - okungenani ezihlanganiswe ngemibala emine - kuzoba ngeyokugcina i-Falcon GT eyake yenziwa, njengoba abakwaFord beqinisekisile ukuthi bayalilahla ibheji ngaphambi kokuthi idayiswe ngoSepthemba.
Ngemva kokukhishwa kwe-351kW Falcon GT, i-335kW Ford XR8 izoqhubeka nokukhiqizwa kusukela ngo-September 2014 kuze kube yilapho lonke uhlobo lwe-Falcon lufika ekupheleni kolayini engakadluli u-Okthoba 2016. Kukholakala ukuthi kwaFord baye bayiklama kabusha ngokuphelele i-Falcon GT kusukela lapho. ukuvalwa kophiko lweFord Performance Vehicles ekupheleni kuka-2012.
Abangaphakathi bathi babuyisele injini ne-suspension ukuze ifane nenhlanganisela yesondo nesondo "eyaluzayo" (njenge-limited-edition R-Spec ngo-2012 kanye nawo wonke ama-HSV kusukela ngo-2006, amathayi angemuva e-GT azoba banzi) kunamathayi angemuva. ). phambili ukuze ubambe kangcono).
ICarsguide iphinde yaveza ukuthi kunezinhlelo eziyimfihlo zokwenza amandla eFalcon GT yokugcina abe phezulu kakhulu kunenothi eliphezulu elingu-351kW eqeda ngawo.
Imithombo eyimfihlo ithi iFord Performance Vehicles engasekho ikhiphe amandla angu-430kW enjinini eyi-V8 egcwele amandla ngesikhathi isathuthuka, kodwa abakwaFord bazishaya indiva lezo zinhlelo ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngokuthembeka nekhono lika-chassis, u-gearbox, igimbal shaft nokunye. izici ze-Falcon. okuhlukile ukuphatha ukukhononda okungaka.
“Besinamandla angu-430kW kudala ngaphambi kokuthi noma ubani azi ukuthi i-HSV izoba no-430kW kwi-GTS entsha,” 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-375 kW kumodi "yokulayisha ngokweqile", ehlala imizuzwana engu-20, kodwa abakwaFord abakwazi ukubiza leso sibalo ngaphansi kwemihlahlandlela yokuhlola yamazwe ngamazwe.
Ngenjini evuselelwe kabusha engu-351kW eshajwe kakhulu yi-V8 namathayi angemuva abanzi, i-Limited Edition GT entsha kufanele isheshise kakhulu kunemodeli endala futhi kuthiwa izoyisusa kalula ithrekhi. Ukusheshisa kwe-Falcon GT yoqobo eshajwe kakhulu kwenziwe buthuntu ngenxa yokuthi ayikwazanga ukunikeza ukudonsa okwanele emathayini angemuva.
Isistimu yokulawula ukudonsa enciphisa amandla enjini yenza i-GT Falcon yaba yinhle kakhulu ekuqaleni, idonsa kanzima ngokudonsa. “Okusha kuyisambulo,” kusho owangaphakathi. “Impela kuphetha ngenothi eliphezulu. Kubi kakhulu ukuthi i-GT ayizange ifike kulokho ngokushesha. "
Inani belingakanqunywa, futhi ngisho nesigaba esiphezulu sabadayisi bakwaFord abakakayitholi imininingwane egcwele yemoto, kodwa abangaphakathi bathi izobiza cishe u-$90,000 emgwaqeni. Abathengisi bakwaFord sebeqalile ukuthatha ama-oda.
Omunye umdayisi, ocele ukungadalulwa, utshele abakwaCarsguide: “KwaFord bakuthathe kancane lokhu. Abazange bakhe izimoto ezanele. Uma eminyakeni embalwa edlule ama-sedan e-Falcon Cobra GT angu-500 anomkhawulo olinganiselwe athengiswa emahoreni angu-48, ungacabanga ukuthi i-GT yokugcina emlandweni izodayiswa ngokushesha kangakanani.”
