Ku-Corsa ngerokhethi ephaketheni
Bahamba ngaleyo ndlela ngeHolden Astra eyakhiwe iNissan Pulsar ngeminyaka yawo-1980, eyahluleka kabuhlungu. Kodwa namuhla, amanani kaphethiloli akhuphuka futhi aya ngokuya eba yingxenye ebalulekile yezibalo zokuthenga izimoto.
I-HSV ibuyela emnothweni ngaphandle kokushiya ihabhu yayo yendabuko ye-V8. Namuhla ungasebenzisa i-Astra VXR engu-177-kilowatt turbocharged eshuthelwe ku-HSV, futhi manje inkampani icabanga nge-turbocharged engu-1.6-litre Corsa VXR.
Kakade ishaya e-UK, lapho iqale ukudayiswa khona ngoMashi, i-rocket eyizicabha ezintathu izophawula inguquko eqhubekayo ebheke ku-HSV.
Owake waba ngusihlalo we-HSV uJohn Krennan, owesula ngonyaka odlule kodwa namanje usalugqokile uphawu emkhonweni wakhe futhi oseyingxenye yenkampani, uchaza ukuthi i-HSV akudingeki ikopishe umkhiqizo we-Holden ohlwini lwayo, okusho ukuthi mancane kakhulu amathuba okuba i-Epica HSV. . "I-Corsa ingenye yemikhiqizo yase-Europe esiyibukayo," usho kanje.
UKrennan uthi asikho isikhathi esibekiwe sokufika kweCorsa, kodwa uma izinombolo zihlangana, ingafika zingakapheli izinyanga ezingu-18.
Imoto izokwethulwa endaweni yakwaMini Cooper S kanye nakuPeugeot 207 GT ngemali elinganiselwa ku-$35,000. I-Corsa VXR ikhiqiza amandla angu-143kW ku-5850rpm kanye no-230Nm ku-1980rpm enjinini engasindi engu-1.6 litre four-cylinder, okwenza imoto ikwazi ukushesha isuka ku-zero iye ku-100km/h esiyimizuzwana engu-6.8 kanye nesivinini esingaphezu kuka-220 km/h. . Injini engu-four piston VXR ihambisana ne-close-ratio edonsa ngamagiya ayisithupha ashintshwayo. Ngezimpawu zayo zokusebenza kanye nesitayela esinesibindi, i-hatchback encane ingena kahle ku-HSV DNA.
Izibuko, amalambu enkungu azungezile kanye nepayipi le-exhaust eliphakathi kume ngonxantathu, kanti obhampa abayizinqamu ngaphambili nangemuva, iziketi ezisemaceleni namasondo angu-18 inch alloy akhombisa ukusebenza kahle ngaphansi.
Ngaphakathi kukhona izihlalo ezibaziwe zeRecaro, isitayela semoto yomjaho, isiteringi esiphansi ngezansi, ama-pedal alloy anezimbobo kanye nodashboard omnyama. NjengeMini Cooper S, ine-Overboost feature eyenza i-torque ibe ngaphezu kuka-260Nm ngaphansi kwe-hard acceleration. Amandla alawulwa yi-ESP system eshunwe ngokukhethekile, i-heavy-duty disc brakes, suspension kanye ne-variable power steering eshintsha isisindo nokuzwakala kwesiteringi kuye ngokuthi imoto ishayelwa kanjani.
E-Australia, isizukulwane sangaphambili sika-Holden u-XC Barina wayeyimodeli ehlonishwa kakhulu ye-Corsa eyenziwe ngabakwa-Opel. Kodwa lapho i-TK Barina entsha iqala ukudayiswa ngasekupheleni kuka-2005, inkampani yanquma ukuyithenga kwaGM-Daewoo eNingizimu Korea. Naphezu kokuba nentengo encintisanayo, u-Barina omusha kakhulu uthole amamaki ampofu ku-Australian kanye ne-European New Car Assessment Programs. Ukwazile ukuthola izinkanyezi ezimbili kuphela esilinganisweni sengozi.
Ngaleso sikhathi, abaseBrithani bajabule nge-HSV Clubsport sedan yethu. Ezweni elinamanani aphezulu kaphethiloli nesiminyaminya esibi, abanayo injini engu-6.0-litre enebheji ye-Vauxhall VXR8.
Umqondisi Ophethe we-HSV uScott Grant naye ubheke ezinye izimakethe. “Sihlose ukuphakela i-UK ngama-Clubsport R300 angu-8 ngonyaka eminyakeni emithathu ezayo,” esho, enezela ngokuthi iGrange entsha ye-long-wheelbase izoba yinkampani elandelayo yokuthumela impahla kwamanye amazwe, okungenzeka ukuthi iye eMpumalanga Ephakathi nase-China.
