2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Review
AmaDukes of Hazzard ayengeke aze abanjwe ukuba ayenomunye wawo.
Hlangana ne-Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, imoto enezicabha ezimbili zemisipha eyakhiwe ngemuva kweShaja ewumfanekiso kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1970 eyaba inkanyezi yesikrini esincane ngenxa yabagijimi ababili abagijima benyanga ababenomkhuba wokujikijela imoto yabo emoyeni phakathi nenqwaba yokubaleka.
Igama elithi "Hellcat" lingase libonakale lingenamsebenzi, noma abaphathi bezentengiso bathatheke kancane.
Ipholile njengemoto
Kodwa uma sikhuluma iqiniso, akuhlanyi ngokwanele ukuchaza ukuthi yini engaphansi kwalesi silo, kuze kube manje kuphela esiza e-Australia ngabangenisi abazimele nabaprosesa.
Ngisho noma ungeyena umphathi we-rev udinga ukuqonda amandla amangalisayo u-Dodge akwazile ukuwakhipha kule moto, uma nje kungenxa yokuthi ingase ibe usizo ngobusuku be-pub trivia.
Inamandla amahhashi angu-707 ngemali endala, noma angu-527 kW ngokwesimanje, kanye ne-torque engu-881 lb-ft emangalisayo enjinini yayo egcwele kakhulu engu-6.2-litre V8, okuyiChemie yokuqala egcwele kakhulu emlandweni wenkampani.
Khuluma ngokwenza indawo yokungena. Lawo amandla angaphezu kwe-V8 Supercar kugridi e-Bathurst. Nokho le moto inamapuleti ezinombolo.
UDodge uphinde wedlule umpetha wangaphambilini wezimoto zemisipha wase-US uFord Mustang Shelby GT500 (662 hp noma 493 kW).
Futhi, njengoba kubuhlungu kimi ukuyibika, i-Hellcat inikeza imoto yase-Australia eshesha kakhulu futhi enamandla kunazo zonke ezake zaba khona, i-HSV GTS (576 hp).
Yebo, kupholile njengemoto. Iyaduma uma uqala injini uma ufaka ukhiye ofanele.
Umsindo wenjini nokukhipha umoya uyamangaza
I-Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat inamandla kangangokuthi inokhiye ababili: amandla "omkhawulo" owodwa ukuya ku-500 hp.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, isikrini esiphakathi nendawo sinezinhlobo zokushayela ezenzelwe wena ezikuvumela ukuthi wenze ngendlela oyifisayo ulayini obomvu (noma ama-shift points) wegiya ngalinye kwayisithupha ashintshwayo, ukusabela kwe-throttle kanye nokuthamba kwe-suspension.
Ukushayela
Ngemuva kwesondo, izwakala i-surreal njengoba ubona idizayini yesimanje kanye nesakhiwo sedeshibhodi, nakuba ingaphandle liyisinyathelo sokubuyela emuva.
Ngakho-ke, ulwazi lokushayela luyingxube entsha nendala. Kuzwakala sengathi othile wenze umsebenzi omuhle ngokubeka amagiya namabhuleki esimanje (okukhulu kunawo wonke owake waba khona emkhiqizweni we-Dodge noma we-Chrysler) eshaja endala yango-1970.
Kodwa okokuqala kufanele ulungise izinzwa zakho emandleni. Kucishe kube yinto engenakwenzeka ukuthola indawo ehlanzekile uma usebenzisa iseluleko esincane sokuphuthuma, okungenani kuze kube yilapho amathayi e-Pirelli anamathela kakhulu efudumele.
I-Hellcat ibonakala igxumela phezulu kwendawo egandayiwe ngokhonkolo phakathi nokuhlola kwethu e-Los Angeles, kunokuba uxhumane nayo.
Idonsa ngamagiya ayisithupha eshintshwayo inamandla amakhulu, kanjalo ne-clutch. Kodwa okungenani igebe phakathi kwamashifu likunikeza isikhashana sokuqoqa imicabango yakho futhi likunikeze ukukhanya kokuzola kulokho okuchazwa ngokunembe kakhudlwana ngokuthi isiphithiphithi esikhundleni sokusheshisa.
I-Dodge Hellcat icishe ishesha kakhulu ukuthi izinzwa zakho zingaziqondi, uma usuthole ukubamba amathayi futhi nesistimu yokudonsa ikhawulela noma yikuphi ukushelela.
Ukubamba ekhoneni kuyamangalisa ngokumangalisayo. Kulungile ukusho ukuthi ama-Dodges (nezimoto zemisipha zaseMelika ngokuvamile) akwaziwa ukuphatha kahle, kodwa onjiniyela abakwazile ukuthambisa i-Hellcat bayenza ibhuleki, ihuku futhi iqondise ngenani elithile lokunemba bafanelwe indondo.
Ukumiswa kuqine kakhulu kumodi «yohlanga» kodwa esimweni esivamile kungaphezu kokuphileka.
U-Dodge usungule umshini wesikhathi
Umsindo ophuma enjinini ne-exhaust uyamangaza (cabanga ngemoto eyi-V8 supercar kodwa enama-decibel asemthethweni omgwaqo) futhi kuyakuphoqa ukuthi ubhuleke ukuze nje ubuyele emkhawulweni wesivinini ngawo wonke umsindo ongase ukwazi ukuwuhlanganisa.
Angithandi? Kunzima ukubona entweni embi. Kodwa ngokweqiniso, ngeke ubheke esibukweni esibuka ngemuva kakhulu kwenye yalezi. Noma uyipake kaningi. Ukugibela kumnandi kakhulu.
Isipiliyoni sokushayela sisonke esokulima ngokwezindinganiso zezimoto zase-Europe. Kodwa ngisola ukuthi yilokho kanye okufunwa ngabathengi bezimoto zemisipha e-US. Ngaphandle kwalokho, yini enye oyilindele ngo-$60,000 (inqwaba yemali e-US, kodwa inzuzo e-Australia ngokucabangela i-HSV GTS ingu-$95,000).
Inhlekelele enkulu, nokho, ukuthi okwamanje azikho izinhlelo zokwenza eyodwa yalawa masango embonini ashayele ngesandla sokudla.
Qaphela ku-Dodge: I-Ford ne-Holden sebeneminyaka embalwa bephumile emakethe yama-V8 sedans esebenza kahle kakhulu, futhi ngikholwa ukuthi enye yazo izohambisana nabathengi. Abathengi bezimoto zezemidlalo base-Australia bebengazi ukuthi yini ebashayile.
