Buyekeza i-Lotus Exige S 2014
Manje usunokukhetha phakathi kwezinguqulo ze-hardtop (coupe) noma ze-softtop (roadster) ze-Lotus Exige S ngokwethula imodeli ye-low-slung kuleli sonto. Futhi ziyefana, zinenani lama- $126,990.
I-Sp, isiqephu esihle seklabishi, kodwa uma ubheka ukuthi uthola ini ku-sexy yezihlalo ezimbili ezisebenza kahle kakhulu, kuyinzuzo.
Design
I-roadster ihluke kancane ku-coupe esimweni esiguqukayo, ine-suspension ethambile ngokulingene futhi inomuzwa ogxile emgwaqeni, kanye ne-10kg lighter (1166kg). Lokhu kuhluke kakhulu kuneminikelo yangaphambilini evela kuchwepheshe wezimoto zezemidlalo waseBrithani, ezinye zazo ezazinesisindo esingama-800kg.
Injini "ephakathi" ibheke ngemuva emotweni futhi ixhumeke emasondweni angemuva ngendlela eyi-six-speed manual transmission.
I-Powertrain
Kodwa i-Exige S Roaster iyayenza endaweni yenjini. Ingasekho injini yakwaToyota engu-1.8 litre enamandla kakhulu eyi-four-cylinder kwezinye izinhlobo zangaphambilini ze-Exige S, ethathelwe indawo yi-V3.5 enamandla ka-Toyota engu-6 litre enamandla.
I-Lotus ilungisa ngokuphelele injini (i-Aurion) kuhlanganiswe nokusethwa kwe-blower, yengeza ikhompyutha yayo yenjini nezinye izici eziwusizo ukuze yenze lokho ezikufunayo. Futhi lokho, bafundi, kubizwa ngokuthi "ukuma nokukhuluma."
Ukushayela
Ikubamba kanjani? Imizuzwana engu-0 u-100-km/h ngokungangabazeki ingcono kune-Porsche, ukunemba kwesiteringi, amabhuleki e-AP esezingeni lomjaho, amathayi e-Pirelli abambayo kakhulu kanye ne-chassis yesigaba se-aluminium ekhishiwe engenakho ukugoba. Imoto yomshayeli eshiseka kakhulu, enomuzwa wokuswakama osheshe uphele uma uyiqhathanisa nezimoto ezifanayo, ezinye zazo ezibiza amashumi ezinkulungwane ngaphezulu. Uma ziqhathaniswa neLotus, azikhangi kangako.
Amajika ahlaba umxhwele futhi le nto inamathela njengozibuthe emgwaqeni. Injini ikhiqiza amandla afinyelela ku-257 kW/400 Nm futhi igijima kakhulu ngokushesha ngemva kokungenzi lutho, ngaphandle kwebhendi yamandla ephawulekayo namandla anyukayo. Lokhu "konke kuhamba" kuhambisana nokuhambisana nokuphuma kwe-high-pipe ephuma kumapayipi amabili omsila abekwe maphakathi.
Izinketho ezichemile
Amanye amasistimu okulawula ama-elekthronikhi asetshenziswa, okuhlanganisa uhlobo lwe-torque vectoring ukuze kwengezwe izindlela ezintathu (noma ezengeziwe) zokushayela ezinezindawo ezine okuhlanganisa iTouring, Sport and Off. Khokha kancane futhi uthole imodi yomjaho ene-Launch Control, Race Setting kanye namamodi okumiswa. Iwufanelekela kahle umjaho wamathrekhi kanye nemidlalo yezimoto ezisezingeni lekilabhu...nokwengeziwe.
I-bodywork iwuhlobo lwe-high-tech resin cladding ku-chassis wesigaba sebhokisi osekujwayelekile ku-Lotus.
Izingxenye
Izingxenye ezinelungelo lobunikazi ezisezingeni eliphezulu zihlobisa yonke ingxenye yemoto - ama-Eibach springs, ama-dampers e-Bilstein, amabhuleki e-AP, i-Harrop supercharger, amasondo e-alloy enziwe ngomgunyathi - kodwa ingaphakathi libukeka lilula. Icishe ifane namamodeli eLotus angaphambili kodwa inedeshibhodi ewubukhazikhazi nezinye izinguquko ezincane nezengezo.
I-cabin ihlangene futhi ikuvumela ukuthi ubeke abagibeli ababili eduze komunye nomunye.
I-"soft top" iqukethe cishe imitha yesikwele eyodwa yendwangu ye-vinyl oyigingqa ngesandla.
izindaba ezingokoqobo
Eqinisweni, i-roadster idla amalitha angu-10.1 / 100 km ukusuka ethangini elingu-42-litre. I-Aerodynamics ikalwe ku-Cd41 emangalisayo. Inamathayi angu-17" ngaphambili nangu-18" ngemuva.
"I-trunk" incane, futhi izihlalo zezemidlalo ziyakwazi ukuguqulwa ngokufanele. Abashayeli abade bazongena kalula. Amaphakheji wezinketho ezine ayatholakala ukuze enze i-Exige S Roadster yakho ngendlela othanda ngayo.
Ukusebenza okumangalisayo okufana ne-Ferrari, isipiliyoni sokushayela esingavuthiwe nesijabulisayo, ukubukeka okuhlaba umxhwele kwengxenye yenani. Lokhu kuyikhredithi kwifilosofi yomsunguli weLotus uColin Chapman.
