I-Lotus Exige Cup 430 iyiLotus eshesha kunazo zonke ezake zaba khona

Umsunguli weLotus uColin Chapman wayeqondiswa isimiso esilula lapho eklama izimoto: okokuqala nciphisa isisindo semoto, bese ukwandisa amandla enjini yayo. Ukufingqa ngemisho emibili: “Ukwengeza amandla kukwenza usheshe emugqeni oqondile. Ukunciphisa umzimba kukwenza usheshe yonke indawo."

Ngokusho kweresiphi engenhla, phakathi kwabanye, owaziwayo Isiqephu 7, eyakhiqizwa ngo-1957-1973. Kwabe sekwakhiwa ama-clones ayo amaningi, akhiqizwa izinkampani ezingaphezu kuka-160 ezivela emhlabeni wonke, futhi ezidume kakhulu kuzo zisakhiqizwa. I-Caterham 7. Ilula, ihlakaniphile futhi ilungile UColin Chapman Ukwakhiwa kwezimoto kube yifilosofi yenkampani yakwaNorfolk kusukela ngo-1952 kuze kube namuhla.

Ngikusho konke lokhu ukuze ngiqonde kangcono ukuthi yini ebangela umsebenzi wakamuva I-Lotus. I-Exij Cup 430 kanye nobufakazi bokuthi onjiniyela bakwaHethel sebevele beshaya kancane kancane odongeni lwesaga uma kuziwa ekongeni isisindo, ngakho manje sebeqalile ukukhulisa amandla. Ngokusho komkhiqizo waseBrithani, lokhu kufanele kube "I-Exige eyedlulele kakhulu eyake yenziwa" nokwazi iNkampani yakwaNorfolk, angingabazi ngakho. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kulo nyaka kukhona uchungechunge lwezindaba namarekhodi avela kuLotus.

Konke kwaqala ekupheleni kukaMashi ngokwethulwa kwe-Elise Sprint, eyaba yi-Elise elula kunazo zonke esizukulwaneni samanje (798 kg). Ngemva kwenyanga, i-Exige Cup 380 yakhululwa, inguqulo "elula" ye-Exige Sport 380, elinganiselwe kumayunithi angu-60. Ekupheleni kukaMeyi, i-Elise Cup 250, inguqulo elula futhi enamandla kunazo zonke ye-Elise, yethulwa. Ngaphansi kwezinyanga ezimbili kamuva, kwavela i-Evora GT430, iwina isihloko seLotus enamandla kakhulu emlandweni womkhiqizo (430 hp). Ekupheleni kuka-Okthoba, kwethulwa i-Elise Cup 260, eyaphakamisa izinga emndenini wakwa-Elise ezingeni elisha, eliphakeme nakakhulu, elikhiqizwa amayunithi angu-30 kuphela. Futhi manje? Futhi manje sine-Exige Cup 430, ehlanganisa ukukhanya kwe-Elise Sprint namandla e-Evora GT430. Umthelela? Kungaba khona eyodwa kuphela - imoto eshesha ngendlela eyisimanga, iLotus ehamba emgwaqeni eshesha kakhulu. Kodwa okuningi ngalokho kamuva...

Ake siqale ngesisindo, okuyinto, kuye ngezinketho ezikhethiwe, ingafinyelela ku-1,093 kg noma yehle ibe ngu-1,059 kg, futhi uma ngaphezu kwalokho uzama ukushiya isikhwama somoya, isisindo sizokwehla sibe ngu-1,056 kg - ngizokwengeza kuphela ukuthi ingaphansi kwaleyo yeNdebe 380. Kodwa... empeleni, i-Cup 430 isikhule isisindo uma iqhathaniswa nomfowabo obuthakathaka. Isamba esikhulu kakhulu sesisindo samuncwa i-compressor ekhulisiwe kanye nesistimu yokupholisa injini (+15 kg), amakhilogremu engeziwe avela ku-clutch entsha, akhuphuke ngo-12 mm, nobubanzi obungu-240 mm (+0.8 kg) namabhuleki amakhulu. amasondo (+ 1.2 kg) - ingqikithi 17 kg isisindo okweqile, kodwa hhayi ngeze, ngoba kufanele ukusiza ukwehlisa imingcele ngcono unit amandla. Kodwa-ke, onjiniyela beLotus bathanda ukulwa namakhilogremu. Uhlelo "lokwelapha ukunciphisa umzimba" luhlanganisa ukusetshenziswa okwandisiwe kwe-carbon fibre, i-aluminium nezinye izinto ezingasindi, kanye nokuguqulwa komzimba wangaphambili nangemuva (-6.8 kg), ama-anchorage ebhande lesihlalo (-1.2 kg), i-diffuser yangemuva, phakathi kokunye. i-aluminium (-1 kg), isistimu yokukhipha i-titanium enomsindo othuthukisiwe (-10 kg) nezinto zangaphakathi ezifana nezihlalo nezinsimbi zezihlalo (-2.5 kg), okonga isamba esingu-29 kg. Izibalo ezilula zibonisa ukuthi isisindo esiphelele se-Cup 430 sasingu-12 kg uma kuqhathaniswa ne-Cup 380 - ngesisindo esincane sokuqala, lesi 12 kg siwumphumela oncomekayo.

Umthombo wediski I-Exij Cup 430 iyinjini engu-3.5-litre V6 ene-Edelbrock compressor epholile eyenza i-430 hp. ku-7000 rpm kanye ne-torque engu-440 Nm ebangeni ukusuka ku-2600 kuya ku-6800 rpm - ngo-55 hp. kanye no-30 Nm ngaphezu kwe-Cup 380. Idrayivu idlula i-6-speed manual transmission emasondweni angemuva. Uma kuqhathaniswa nezimoto ezifana ne-Ferrari 488, lezi zinombolo zingahle zingabi mnandi, kodwa sikhuluma ngemoto enesisindo esicishe sibe ngu-40kg ngaphansi kwe-base Seat Ibiza futhi enamandla aphindwe ka-6. Futhi lapha into ebaluleke kakhulu amandla athile, okuyiqiniso I-Exij Cup 430 Ingu-407 km/tonne - uma uyiqhathanisa, iFerrari ino-488 km/tonne, kanti i-Cup 433 yona ino-380 km/tonne. Lokhu kungaba uphawu lwento eyodwa kuphela - umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu. Inalithi ye-speedometer isuka ku-355 iye ku-0 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-100, kanti inani eliphezulu elingalikhombisa ngu-3.3 km/h - okuyimizuzwana engu-290 ngaphansi no-0.3 km/h ngaphezu kwe-Cup 8, ngokulandelana.

Kodwa-ke, izinguquko ku-Exige entsha azigcini nje ngesisindo namandla ayo. Cup 430 Iziqhenya ngemodeli enkulu kunazo zonke yomgwaqo we-Lotus, enama-piston caliper angu-4 kanye nama-brake discs angu-332mm ngaphambili nangemuva asayinwe yi-AP Racing. Ukuphathwa kahle kwemoto kuqinisekiswa ukumiswa okusha kwe-Nitro okunamapharamitha aguquguqukayo ngokuphelele kanye nama-anti-roll e-Eibach, nawo alungiseka. Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuphatha ngesivinini esiphezulu, isihlukanisi se-carbon fibre ngaphambili nama-flap amboze ukungena komoya wangaphambili kanye ne-spoiler yangemuva kushintshiwe ukuze kukhuliswe amandla aphansi ngaphandle kokukhulisa i-coefficient yokudonsa. Isisindo esiphezulu semoto singama-20 kg ngaphezu kwe-Cup 380, ngesamba esingu-220 kg, okuyi-100 kg ngaphambili (ukunyuka kwama-28 kg) no-120 kg (ukwehla kwe-8 kg) ku-axle yangemuva. Lokhu kulinganisa kwe-downforce ngokuyikhulisa ku-ekseli yangaphambili kufanele kuqinisekise, ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukujika kwamakhona okusebenza kahle ngesivinini esiphezulu.

Kulungile, lokhu kuzothinta kanjani ukusebenza kwangempela kwemoto? Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuhlola lokhu kusesenzweni, okuyilokho iLotus ekwenzile endaweni yayo yokuhlola ifektri yakwaHethel (ubude obungu-3540m). Kuze kube manje, isikhathi esihle kakhulu siboniswe yinguqulo yomgwaqo ye-Lotus 3-Eleven, "imoto" eyeqisayo ngaphandle kwe-windshield enamandla angu-410 hp. nesisindo 925 kg, okuyinto ezungeza ithrekhi ngomzuzu 1 imizuzwana 26. . Lo mphumela uqhathaniswe ne-Exige Cup 380 kuphela. Njengoba ubungase uqagele, inguqulo ye-Cup 430 yenze umsebenzi ongcono futhi yaqeda umjikelezo ngomzuzu o-1 namasekhondi angama-24.8, ngalokho yabeka irekhodi le-Lotus ehamba emgwaqeni.

Akumangazi ukuthi umongameli wenkampani uyaziqhenya ngeLotus Exige Cup 430 entsha, U-Gina-Mark Welsh:

“Lena imoto ebesihlale sifuna ukuyakha futhi nginesiqiniseko sokuthi bonke abathanda iLotus bazowujabulela umphumela. Ngaphezu kokwanda okukhulu kwamandla, i-Cup 430 iye yathuthukiswa kuzo zonke izici ezigxile ku-Lotus DNA ukuqinisekisa ukuthi sisebenzisa ngokugcwele amandla amangalisayo we-Exige chassis. Le moto ayinakho ukuncintisana - ngokwamanani ayo nangale kwayo - futhi akulona ihaba ukusho ukuthi akukho okungahambisana nale Exige emgwaqeni nasendleleni."

Ekugcineni, imiyalezo emibili. Eyokuqala - enhle kakhulu - ukuthi, ngokungafani ne-Cup 380, inguqulo ye-430 ngeke ibe nomkhawulo ngobuningi. Okwesibili kubi kakhulu, njengoba kuthinta intengo, eqala kusuka kumakhilogremu angama-99 emakethe yaseBrithani futhi ifinyelela kuma-euro ayi-800 komakhelwane bethu basentshonalanga, okungukuthi, ukusuka ku-127 kuya ku-500 zlotys. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, lokhu akwanele, kodwa ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuncintisana okuqhathaniswayo kubiza okungenani kabili. Ngaphezu kwalokho, leli yithuba lokuxhumana nohlobo olufayo lwemoto, lezo "analog", ezisebenza ngomshini, ngaphandle kwezikrini ezengeziwe, ngaphandle kwe-electronic "booster", lapho umshayeli enethuba lokuhlola amakhono emoto, ukuthi angayishayela kanjani, hhayi ikhompuyutha elungisa imoto, i-trajectory engalungile ngaso sonke isikhathi. Lona ummeleli wohlobo olugxile esisindweni esilula, “ekufaneni,” hhayi ezinjinini ezinamandla ezishayela imizimba “yamafutha”. Lena imoto axhumene ngayo nomshayeli, axhumene ngendlela engahlukaniseki futhi ivele imnikeze ubumnandi bokushayela obumsulwa obungaxutshwe nalutho. Futhi kubiza ngaphezu kwesigamu sesigidi sama-zloty, ayigugu ngempela...
