Ford Falcon GT-F vs HSV GTS 2014 Ukubuyekeza
Amaqhawe akamuva ezimoto asuka e-Australia ahlonipha ithempeli eliwumbhoshongo lamandla amahhashi: Bathurst.
Akufanele neze kufike kulokhu: vivinya izimoto zakamuva ezisebenza kahle kakhulu zasekhaya e-Australia. Uma imboni yakwaFord iBroadmeadows ivalwa ngo-2016, kanti imboni yakwa-Holden i-Elizabeth izolandela ngemuva konyaka, lokhu kuzoba okokugcina abazokukhumbula uFord noHolden.
Zombili lezi zimoto ezisezingeni eliphezulu emsebenzini wazo kufanele zibe yizibabazi zemikhiqizo yazo futhi zibe uphawu lokuthi izikhathi ezingcono ziseza. Kunalokho, indaba yabo iphetha ngenkathi ethile.
Ukuthengiswa kweFord neHolden kungase kube phansi kakhulu, kodwa kusekhona abalandeli abaqinile ukugcina ukholo luqhubeka, nakuba abantu abaningi kulezi zinsuku beshayela izimoto ezivela kwamanye amazwe ukuze bahambise umndeni. Eminyakeni engamashumi amahlanu edlule, lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zazimelela ngaphezu kwengxenye yazo zonke izimoto ezithengiswa e-Australia. Namuhla, i-Falcon neCommodore benza izimoto ezintathu kweziyikhulu ezidayisiwe.
Abanye abashisekayo, njengabangane bethu uLawrence Attard noDerry O'Donovan, bayaqhubeka nokuthenga amaFord namaHoldens amasha ngisho noma uquqaba lungafuni. Kodwa, ngeshwa, abekho abantu abanele abafana nabo ukusekela ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto zendawo.
Kudala, uma kuziwa ezimotweni, sasiyizwe elijabule ngempela. Ukuthengiswa kwezinhlobo zamasilinda ayisithupha e-Ford Falcon ne-Holden Commodore kugcine amafekthri esebenza kahle, okuvumela izigaba zezimoto zezemidlalo ezihlukene ukuthi zigxilise injini ye-V8 ngaphansi kwe-hood, ziyilungise, futhi zengeze ezinye "ezihamba ngokushesha." bits" (njengoba zibizwa kanjalo) ukuze udale imoto yemisipha ngokushesha.
Eqinisweni, ungase ukuthole kunzima ukukukholelwa, kodwa i-Australia isungule i-sedan esebenza kahle kakhulu. Konke kwaqala ngeFord Falcon GT ngo-1967. Ekuqaleni bekuwumklomelo wokududuza. Siyithole ngoba i-Mustang yashaya kakhulu e-US, kodwa i-Ford ayizange iyingenise ku-Down Under.
Ngakho-ke umphathi weFord Australia ngaleso sikhathi wanquma ukusebenzisa ifilosofi ye-Mustang ku-Falcon sedan eyakhiwe endaweni, futhi kwasungulwa i-cult classic. Wawina emzileni futhi wasiza iFord ukuthi intshontshe ukuthengiswa kwe-Holden kuma-showrooms.
Isiphetho salo mzamo kwaba yisakhiwo sodumo i-351 GT-HO, ngaleso sikhathi okwakuyimoto eshesha kakhulu emhlabeni. Yebo, ishesha kakhulu kunanoma iyiphi i-BMW noma i-Mercedes-Benz sedan yangaleso sikhathi.
IFord Falcon 351 GT-HO yawina iBathurst elandelanayo ngo-1970 nango-1971. U-Allan Moffat, owahlungela ukushesha kakhulu ngo-1972, ubezowina kathathu kulandelana ukube akazange azidlulele ngemuva kokunukubezwa insizwa esencane kuTorana Holden ogama layo linguPeter Brock.
Sekuyacaca ukuthi intsha ekhule kulesi sikhathi isiyadlondlobala ekudayisweni kwezimoto iHolden neFord V8. Manje, eminyakeni yawo-50 no-60, sebengakwazi ukukhokhela imoto yamaphupho abo, ngaphandle kwenkinga eyodwa. Amaphupho abo azosuswa kubo.
Kungakho wonke ama-sedan angu-500 eFord Falcon GT akamuva adayiswe aphela ngaphambi kokuthi kwakhiwe eyokuqala, ingasaphathwa eyokulethwa endaweni yokubonisa.
Lezi zimoto zidayiselwe abadayisi ngobuningi ezinsukwini ezimbalwa, sekusele izimoto ezingaba yishumi nambili ezinkampanini ezidayisayo kulo lonke elase-Australia nezinsolo ezibhekene nazo kodwa ezisazosayinwa izinkontileka.
Noma ngubani onenkinga yokulungisa kahle izimali zakhe uzophoxeka ngoba abathengisi abaningi banolayini lwabantu abafola ukuyolulanda uma kwenzeka kwehla i-oda lothile. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-HSV GTS izohlala ikhiqizwa kuze kube sekupheleni kokukhiqizwa kwe-Holden esikhathini esithile ngasekupheleni kuka-2017.
Ngokumelene nalokhu kwangemuva, kwakukhona indawo eyodwa kuphela yokuthatha lezi zimoto ezimbili: ithempeli elide lamandla amahhashi, i-Bathurst. Njengokungathi isimo sasingathandeki, amafu ayeqoqana njengoba sasingena edolobheni. Kwanele ukusho ukuthi ngabe abukho ubuqhawe namuhla. Okungenani akuveli kithi, nakuba umthwebuli wezithombe efanelwe umklomelo wesibindi ngokubhekana namakhaza emoyeni wase-Antarctic.
Le mishini enamandla ingabonakalisa imibi ezandleni ezingalungile, kodwa ngenhlanhla i-Ford ne-Holden babe nempumelelo ethile ebenza bangenangqondo.
Womabili angase abe ama-V8 anamandla amakhulu kunawo wonke ohlobo lwawo, kodwa futhi anamabhuleki amakhulu afakwe kwiFord noma iHolden eyakhelwe endaweni kanye nezinhlelo zabo zokulawula ukuzinza (ubuchwepheshe obucindezela amabhuleki uma ushibilika ku-skid). corner) zathuthukiswa eqhweni. Okungukuthi, uma kubhekwa izimo zanamuhla, kuhle impela.
Kuyamangaza ukuthi igama lisakazeka ngokushesha kangakanani lapho sifika e-Motown, e-Australia. Ama-tradi amabili asilandela emzileni ngemva kokusibona sidlula enkabeni yedolobha. Abanye baphuthume ocingweni ukuyoshayela ozakwabo abalandeli bakwaFord. "Awunankinga uma ngithatha isithombe nemoto?" Ngokuvamile i-HSV GTS idonsa ukunaka kwawo wonke umuntu. Kodwa namuhla konke mayelana Ford.
Ochwepheshe bemboni (ngihlanganise nami) bacabange ukuthi i-Falcon GT-F (yenguqulo "yakamuva") ayibukeki ikhethekile ngokwanele.
Okuwukuphela kwezici ezichazayo imithende eyingqayizivele, ijazi likapende emasondweni, namabheji "351" (manje abhekisela emandleni enjini kunosayizi wenjini njengoba enza ngawo-1970).
Kodwa uma sigxila ekuphenduleni kwesixuku, thina abashayeli bezimoto asazi ukuthi sikhuluma ngani. Abalandeli beFord bayayithanda. Futhi yilokho kuphela okubalulekile.
AbakwaFord baphinde bashiya ukumiswa kusenjalo uma kuqhathaniswa nohlelo olukhethekile lwangaphambilini i-Falcon GT, ekhishwe ezinyangeni eziyi-18 ezedlule. Ngakho-ke esikuhlola lapha amandla engeziwe angu-16kW. IFord iphinde yathuthukisa indlela amandla e-GT-F ahanjiswa ngayo emgwaqeni. Lena imoto okufanele ngabe yakhiwa kwaFord eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili edlule ngesikhathi kuphuma lesi sizukulwane iFalcon.
Kodwa abakwaFord abakwazanga ukukhokhela ukuthuthukiswa ngaleso sikhathi ngoba ukuthengiswa kwase kuqala ukwehla. Phela abalandeli bakwaFord kumele babonge abakutholile. Lena iFord Falcon GT eshesha kakhulu futhi ehamba phambili. Futhi ayikufanele neze ukuba ngeyokugcina.
