Nokho, uma "Bogan".
Uzophinde akuthengele ne-sleek, lightweight, 1.8-litre, i-Lotus Elise S enezihlalo ezimbili enama-racing dynamics, itop ethambile ekhiphekayo, namandla okwanele ukuze udlule kuma-V8 amabi. Woza kusethi yamajika futhi yilokho impela.
Isisindo sika-860 kg sinika i-Elise S amandla esisindo esihlaba umxhwele, okuchaza ukuthi kungani injini yohlobo lweToyota ebifukamela ngokwemvelo enamandla angu-100 kW/173 Nm igijima ku-1.8 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-0 nje kuphela.
Kodwa sibheka kuphela lokho okunikezwa yile moto encane ejabulisayo. Incane uma iqhathaniswa nezinye izimoto zezemidlalo kanye ne-spartan ngaphakathi, nakuba ingcono kunangaphambili.
Ingaphandle elihlabayo liklanyelwe ukunqamula emoyeni, kuyilapho umuntu ongaphansi oyisicaba onama-diffuser angemuva athuthukisa i-aerodynamics. Amapayipi amakhulu aqondisa umoya kumaradiyetha enjini ngemuva, futhi yonke imoto icishe ibe ngaphezu kwemitha ubude.
I-Elise S ibukeka njengemoto yansuku zonke kunozakwabo we-hardtop eshajwa kakhulu i-Exige S. Nakuba kusenzima ukungena ngokufulela phezulu, i-Elise S izogibela ngenjabulo kuthrafikhi yedolobha ine-air conditioning ukuze igcine abagibeli bayo bepholile kanye ne-Alpine. umsindo uyavutha.
Ngezimpelasonto, uzojabulela umthamo womsebenzi wasemini weklabhu, evuza umshayeli ngokuphatha imoto yomjaho nokusebenza ngentengo elawulwayo. Amafutha, ama-brake pads, amathayi ngeke kube yinkinga ebucayi.
Lena inguqulo yakamuva ye-Elise futhi isineminyaka embalwa ikhona manje, iqala impilo ngenjini esabekayo ye-Rover K-Series kodwa iqhubekela phambili kusukela amandla akwa-Toyota abanjwe phakathi kwemikhumbi. Ukuthuthukiswa kwangaphakathi kufaka amapetshi esikhumba enziwe nge-pukka carbon-fiber kanye nephaneli yezinsimbi ezintsha. Iphuma ne-remote central locking nama-airbag amabili, kanjalo ne-ABS, air conditioning nomsindo we-Alpine.
Ingaphezulu elithambile lingasuswa kalula futhi ligcinwe "ku-trunk" ngemuva kwenjini. Uyakwazi ukubona isibuko esingemuva, kanti ngenkathi izibuko ezisemaceleni zilungiswa mathupha, zibekwe kahle futhi kulula ukuzinyakazisa.
Lena imodeli ye-Lotus yezinga lokungena, kodwa iza namaphakethe amabili ongawadinga ongeke uwadinge. Kukhona nemibala eminingana emisha.
Ngesikhathi sokuhlola kwethu, sajatshuliswa umsindo okhipha umoya ongcolile nomuzwa wokubamba oqondile. Ukushintshwa kwamajubane amahlanu kufana nesenzo sesibhamu futhi amabhuleki anamandla kakhulu. Besilokhu sihlabeke umxhwele ngamandla e-chassis ye-Elise ne-Exige, ehlala ifana nangaphambili, ngisho nangaphandle kophahla. Kodwa ukubekwa kwama-pedals kuyinkinga ngenxa ye-offset enkabeni futhi isondelene kakhulu. Naphezu kobukhulu obuncane, abashayeli abangu-183 cm bangathola indawo yokushayela ekhululekile. Lonke ulwazi oludingayo lufakwe ku-compact instrument cluster, okuhlanganisa nelambu elixwayisa ngo-gearshift uma injini isondela endaweni ebomvu.
Le moto yakhelwe ukuthatha amakhona aqinile. Ihlala phansi futhi ibambe i-pavement ngamathayi e-Yokohama abambelele kuze kube yilapho ugcina uphethwe intamo ebuhlungu ngenxa ye-g-forces. Uma uhamba kanje uya ekhaya, uyazi ukuthi ujabule kakhulu.
