Amamodeli Amasha kaMorgan
Lokhu kufaka phakathi uchungechunge lwesine lwe-Aero 8 kulo nyaka, izinhlobo ezintathu ze-Classic ezilindeleke ngonyaka ozayo, ukuthuthukiswa kwe-LIFECar fuel cell prototype, nokuqalwa kabusha kokukhiqizwa kwezihlalo ezine ngo-2011.
I-Aero 8 isiphuma nenjini engu-4.8-litre BMW V8 ethatha indawo yangaphambili engu-4.4 litre. Amandla anyusiwe asuka ku-25kW afinyelela ku-270kW kanti i-torque inyukile isuka ku-40Nm yafinyelela ku-490Nm.
Kubiza u-$255,000 futhi ngokokuqala ngqa kuMorgan, ukuhanjiswa okuzenzakalelayo kunikezwa nge $9000 eyengeziwe.
Umqondisi weMorgan Cars Australia uChris van Wyck uthe i-Aero 8 isanda kutholakala lapha.
“Kungithathe iminyaka emine ukubenza bahambisane nemithetho yase-Australia,” kuchaza u-van Wyck.
Izici ze-Series 4 zifaka i-air conditioner entsha enezindawo zokukhipha umhubhe, ibhuleki lesandla elisusiwe, indawo enkulu yokungenisa umoya ngaphambili, osinki abasha bokushisa konogada bangaphambili, kanye netrunk enkulu ngenxa yethangi likaphethiloli elisusiwe.
Isisindo sayo singu-1445kg kuphela ngenxa ye-aluminium chassis ne-boyd okuyisiza ukuthi ijubane ifinyelele ku-0 km/h ngemizuzwana engaphansi kuka-100, kanti isebenzisa amalitha angu-4.5 ngebanga lika-10.8 km. Ukukhishwa kwe-CO100 kungu-2 g/km.
I-Aero 8 iphuma ejwayelekile nesivalo se-carbon fibre trunk, i-AP Racing 6mm 348-piston ventilated disc brakes ngaphambili, i-theater pressure monitoring, cruise control kanye nesikhumba se-bespoke kanye ne-wood internal trim.
Yize kunemibala engu-19 ejwayelekile kaMorgan ongakhetha kuyo, ifekthri yakwaMorgan izophinda ipende imoto nganoma imuphi umbala wezimoto, okuhlanganisa namathoni amabili, nge $2200 eyengeziwe.
Kukhona futhi ukukhetha kwemibala kakhaphethi woboya, amapulangwe amane aphelile, iphaneli ye-aluminium noma ye-graphite, kanye nokukhetha kwemibala ye-mohair enezingqimba ezimbili eziphezulu ezithambile.
UVan Wyck uthe manje bayawemukela ama-oda e-Aero 8 futhi abantu abayisikhombisa sebethumele idiphozithi engu-$1000.
"Abanikazi bakaMorgan bayiqembu labantu abathandana kakhulu engake ngahlangana nabo: amadoda athandana nobulili obuhlukile, futhi bonke bathenga izimoto ngemali," esho.
“Kubo, konke ukusebenzisa imali ngokubona.
“Inkinga nje wukuthi abajahile ngoba banezimoto ezimbalwa. Bathenga uma sebelungile."
Izinhlobo zakudala ezizokhokhwa ngonyaka ozayo kulindeleke ukuthi zihlanganise iRoadster, Plus 4 kanye ne-4/4 Sport.
UVan Wyck uthe amanani kanye nemininingwane ayikaziwa okwamanje.
"Ubani owaziyo ukuthi imali izoba kuphi nokuthi yiziphi izintela zikahulumeni wase-Australia ezingashintsha?" Uthe.
"Kodwa-ke, ngokomthetho, ukuma kwentengo ka-2007 kuzogcinwa lapho kungenzeka khona."
Lapho ukudiliva e-Australia kuyela ngo-2007, ulayini weFord-powered Classic wawuhlanganisa u-$6 i-V145 Roadster engamalitha amathathu, i-$000 yamalitha amabili i-Plus 4 kanye ne-$117,000 1.8/4/4.
U-Van Wyck uthe uhlu lwabalindile bemidlalo yakudala selubhaliwe.
Uthe kunesidingo sezihlalo ezine ezitholakala e-Europe ngePlus 4 neRoadster.
"Ngenxa yezidingo ze-ADR, iMorgans enezihlalo ezine ayikwazanga ukuthengiswa njengezimoto ezintsha e-Australia cishe iminyaka engamashumi amabili," esho.
"Ngokwemibiko, ukukhiqiza kungase kuqale kabusha ngo-2011."
Khonamanjalo, i-LIFECar fuel cell prototype iyathuthukiswa ngokubambisana ne-Cranfield University.
"Imboni ibone ukuthi basengozini ngoba imakethe yezingane ezithandana nobulili obuhlukile iyaguga futhi ngeke ihlale isikhathi eside," kusho u-van Wyck.
“Umlando kaMorgan wonke ubumayelana nezimoto ezingasindi, ezonga uphethiloli ngenxa yokusebenza kwazo, ngakho ziyayizwa imvelo.
“Pho kungani ungakhelwe phezu kwalelofa lemvelo ngokuletha imoto ekhipha i-zero emission emakethe?
“Angazi ukuthi nini, kodwa ngiyethemba eminyakeni emibili noma emithathu ezayo.
"Bengifuna ukuthi ibe khona embukisweni wezimoto iSydney Motor Show, kodwa ibingaphansi kwentuthuko, ngakho bazimisele ngayo."
UMorgan udayise izimoto ezintathu kuphela ngonyaka odlule nezimbili ngonyaka owedlule endaweni eqinile yezomnotho.
“Ngeshwa, mina noMorgan sasinezinkinga zezimpahla,” echaza.
Kodwa-ke, u-van Wyck ubenethemba lokuthi uzodayisa ayisithupha kulo nyaka naphezu kwezikhathi ezinzima zezimali.
IMorgan Motor Company ihlela uchungechunge lwemigubho yekhulunyaka e-England ngoJulayi nango-Agasti, kanti u-van Wyck ubelindele iqeqebana labanikazi base-Australia ukuthi beze nezimoto zabo.
