Akukona kakhulu ukuthi uzizwe sengathi ukhohlwe izingubo zakho ekhaya, kodwa ukuthi umshini uchithe imishini yawo ngisho nenyama, ukushiya nento efana nohlaka lwamathambo; amathambo angenalutho nemisipha kuphela.

Okwenziwa yilo mshini oqine ngendlela emangalisayo futhi ogxile kakhulu emathanjeni nasenyameni yakho kungachazwa kangcono ngokuthi i-chiropractic eyeqisayo—ukucindezeleka kokungena nokuphuma ikakhulukazi—kodwa ngokubonga, kunxephezela ukububula, amaqhubu, nemihuzuko ngokuhiliza ama-adrenals akho. isamba esikhulu. indlela.

Umbuzo uwukuthi, ubumnandi obufanele ubuhlungu kanye nenani lentengo lika-$138,782.85.

Ingabe kukhona okuthakazelisayo mayelana nomklamo wayo? 8/10

Ifilosofi yeLotus ifinyezwa esitatimendeni semishini esingenangqondo: "Yenza kube lula, bese ulula." Ngamazwi kaBarnaby Joyce omkhulu, "Akudingeki ube nguSigmund Freud" ukuze uqonde ukuthi ukukhanya akuyona into "ongayingeza", kodwa uthola umqondo.

Yonke into ngeLotus imayelana namandla nesisindo futhi le nguqulo ye-350 Sport iphusha i-Exige ifinyelele esiphethweni, isisindo sayo esingu-51kg ilula kune-S version engu-1125kg kanye nenjini yayo enkulu engu-3.5-litre. nge-V6 eshajwe kakhulu, iyakwazi ukusula ithrekhi yokuhlola yenkampani e-Hethel, e-UK, ngokushesha imizuzwana engu-2.5.

Isikhathi se-Lap, hhayi ukuziphatha komgwaqo, yikho okubalulekile kule moto, ngakho-ke azikho izinsiza kuyo.

Nokho, i-Exige iyisilo esidonsa amehlo, esifana nesigqoko sikaDarth Vader esiboshelwe ebhodini lokushibilika. Konke okumayelana nayo kuyisitatimende senhloso, kanti njengoba ingaphakathi lingenalutho njengobuchopho bukaBarnaby, isishicileli, esinamagiya aso asobala kanye nesiliva elicwebezelayo, siyinto yobuhle obuyinqaba.

Sisebenza kangakanani indawo yangaphakathi? 3/10

Igama elithi "practical" nelithi "spatial" awekho ekuhlolweni komgwaqo weLotus, ngakho-ke singavele siqhubeke?

Oh kuhle. Ayikho indawo ehlombe, futhi ukushintsha igiya kufanele uphulule umlenze womgibeli. Nani nizifaka engcupheni yokuthi ngephutha niphefumulelene emlonyeni, nihlezi niseduze.

Uma sikhuluma ngokungenzeki, iminyango mincane nemoto yonke iphansi kangangokuthi ukuphuma nokungena kufana nokuzama ukucasha epotimendeni lengane.

Abaphethe indebe? Khohlwa ngakho futhi akukho lapho ungabeka khona ifoni yakho. Eduze kwendlwana yomnyango ecashe kahle, kunezimbobo ezimbili ezincane zokugcina, kanye nohlobo oluthile lweshalofu elishelelayo, elibushelelezi endaweni yegumbi lamagilavu, lapho kungaphephile ukushiya noma yini.

Beka izinto phansi futhi zizoshibilika ngaphansi kwezihlalo eziphansi futhi zingaphinde zibonakale.

AbakwaLotus bakhombe ishalofu elingemuva kwezihlalo, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi babecabanga ukuthi laliyiyo, futhi kune-trunk encane ngemuva, ngemuva kwenjini, encane kunezinye iziqu zangempela.

Igama elithi "okungokoqobo" nelithi "isikhala" awekho kulesi sivivinyo somgwaqo. (Ikhredithi yesithombe: Stephen Corby)

Ingabe imelela inani elihle lemali? Inamiphi imisebenzi? 6/10

Umbuzo othi "inani" uyakhohlisa uma ubheka imoto engu-$138,782.85 cishe ewusizo ekuphileni kwansuku zonke njengesikhwama esilingana nebhokisi likamentshisi. Kodwa kufanele ucabange ukuthi kungani abantu bethenga i-Lotus, futhi impendulo ayihlangene nhlobo nokusebenza.

Imoto efana nale Exige 350 Sport ithengwa njengethoyizi kuphela, usuku lwengoma olukhethekile ongakwazi ukuyishayela uye kuthrekhi emigwaqweni yomphakathi. UFrankie, ukube bengicebe ngokwanele ukuba ngibe nayo, ngabe ngisamthutha iloli lapho.

Uma uma kuqhathaniswa, ungaba ne-Porsche Cayman esebenziseka kalula futhi enethezeke ngokungenakulinganiswa ngo-$30k ngaphansi, kodwa iLotus ishibhe ngo-$30k kunendlela ethambekele ekulandeleni ngokulinganayo futhi enonya ($169,990) KTM X-Bow.

Lokhu kuphambene nokulula.

Ngokwezinto ezitholakala kuzo, uthola amasondo amane, injini, isiteringi, izihlalo eziningi, kuphelele lapho. Ungathenga isitiriyo esinezipikha ezimbili esikhiphekayo ngo-1993 ongakwazi ukusizwa ngenxa yenjini nomsindo womgwaqo ngo-$1199. Oh futhi bengeza i-air conditioning enomsindo futhi.

Upende wethu omuhle wensimbi omnyama ubungu-$1999, "okhaphethi besiqephu esisodwa" omunye u-$1099 (omata baphansi ababizayo, ikakhulukazi), iphakheji yokunquma ye-Alcantara engu-$4499, i-cruise control (ngempela?) $299, kanye nokunye okujabulisayo "okuqeda umsindo - $1499 (I cabanga ukuthi empeleni bakhohlwe ukuyifaka). Intengo yemoto yethu yokunyathelisa yagcina ikhuphuke yafinyelela ku-$157,846, okufanele ngisho ukuthi ayilona inani elihle kunoma ubani.

Okuhle, abathengisi bendawo be-Lotus - I-Simply Sports Cars - banikeza izici ezizothandwa umthengi, njengezinsuku ze-Lotus Kuphela ezivamile, ithuba lokuba nengxenye ku-Phillip Island 6 Amahora kanye nomcimbi we-Targa High Country, ukubiza amagama. abambalwa. okuhlangenwe nakho okubabayo.

Yiziphi izici eziyinhloko zenjini nokudluliswa? 8/10

Phambilini onjiniyela beLotus bebewathokozela amandla abawathola ezinjinini ezincane zakwaToyota ezinamasilinda amane, kodwa le Exige 350 Sport iyimoto Enzima Kakhulu futhi inenjini engu-3.5-litre V6 eshibhile ngemuva. eyenza amandla angu-258 kW no-400 Nm anele ukwenza le moto encane ifinyelele ku-0 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-100 nje, nakuba izwakala futhi izwakala ngokushesha okukhulu.

U-gearbox onamagiya ayisithupha kubukeka sengathi webiwe emotweni endala yomjaho, nokushintsha amagiya ngesivinini kuyintokozo.

Idla uphethiloli ongakanani? 7/10

ILotus ibiza amalitha angu-10.1 ngebanga lika-100 km uma ihlangene. Asicabangi ukuthi lokhu kuzoba lula ukufeza, ngoba isilingo sokuyiyisa esihogweni futhi uyizwe ibhonga singaba sikhulu kakhulu futhi singaguquki.

Kunjani ukushayela? 8/10

Akuvamile ukuthola imoto eyinhlanganisela emangalisayo yobumnandi obuthukuthele kanye nokucasuka okucasulayo. I-Lotus iyakhenceza, inomsindo, kunzima kakhulu ukuyijezisa, inezihlalo ezinikeza ukwesekwa kodwa azikho ukusekela.

Kuphambene nokunethezeka, futhi kulukhuni kakhulu ukukubona ukuthi ukuyishayela eduze kwedolobha kunoma yisiphi isiminyaminya kubonakala kuyingozi. Kuphinde kube nomuzwa ohlukile wokuthi umfishane futhi umncane kangangokuthi bonke laba bantu abahamba ngamaSUV abo ngeke bakubone.

Ukwengeza kulokho ukuthi inzima kakhulu, inzima kabi ukungena nokuphuma, futhi akulona neze uhlobo lwemoto oluhambayo uma ulibangise ezitolo. Ngesinye isikhathi, ngadinwa ukucasuka kwakhe okungaguquki kangangokuthi ngacasuka kakhulu ukuba ngithathe abantu ohambweni lokuzijabulisa. Angizange ngizikhathaze ngobunzima, kodwa izindawo ezingaphansi kwedolobha ezinemiphetho ephezulu kanye namaphoyisa anesivinini esiphezulu akuyona indawo yemvelo ye-Exige.

U-gearbox uyajabulisa umzuzu, kanjalo nenjini.

Okunzima kakhulu edolobheni, ngesivinini esiphansi noma lapho ukupaka, isiteringi, esingasindi kangako njengoba sibuthuntu ngamabomu. Ukwenza i-pivot enamaphuzu amathathu kulingana nomshini wokucindezela webhentshi we-bodyweight wemizuzu engu-20. Okungenani.

Kodwa-ke, emgwaqeni osogwini olusemajukujukwini, isiteringi siba ngenye yezinto ezihamba phambili ngemoto ngoba isisindo sayo esingasizwanga sizwakala siphila ezandleni zakho. Kunomuzwa wokuzabalaza kwangempela noma ukuba bukhali emakhoneni okwenza uzizwe ufana no-Ayrton Senna.

Ngempela, yonke imoto iyaphila futhi iqala ukuba nencazelo ethile ngokushesha nje lapho uzithola usendleleni egandayiwe ebushelelezi, ephelele. Iyashesha, inomsindo, iyajabulisa, ijabulisa ngokuphelele futhi ngokungagwegwesiyo, inochasi oqinile kanye nokugibela okuqinile, enamabhuleki akwazi ukukudonsa ngokushesha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngenxa yesikhungo esiphansi se-gravity kanye nendawo emaphakathi yenjini, ilinganisela ngokuphelele.

U-gearbox uyinto ethokozisayo, kanjalo nenjini, ikakhulukazi uma ubheka ama-rev ranges aphezulu, ngaleso sikhathi indawo iba lufifi oluthusayo kwi-windshield encane ngendlela ehlekisayo.

Yebo, akukho lutho olubona ngemuva kwakho ngaphandle kwenjini, kodwa yeka indlela enhle ngayo, futhi awusoze wabanjwa.

Impela, izwakala i-punchy futhi ine-edgy, futhi akulula noma icwengisisiwe ukuyishayela njengezinye zezimoto zemidlalo ezishibhile; I-MX-5 izoba umngane omnandi kakhulu. Kodwa lena i-Exige eyedlulele, umshini owakhiwe futhi wabathandi beqiniso.

Futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, kulabo bantu abazomyisa emjahweni womjaho, lapho ebukeka khona futhi ezizwa esekhaya.

Ngeshwa, emigwaqweni yomphakathi, lokhu kungacasula kakhulu kunokujabulisa, kodwa abalandeli be-Lotus abashiseka ngempela ngeke bakuvumele lokho kwenzeke.

Nakuba ngokusobala izogqama endaweni yayo yemvelo yethrekhi yomjaho, iqiniso liwukuthi ungaba nokuzijabulisa okuningi phakathi kwezinsuku zethrekhi uma uyihlose endaweni eyitiyela ebushelelezi futhi esontekile.

Ukusebenza, ukuphatha, ukuqondisa kanye nokubhuleka kuhle kakhulu ezimeni ezifanele, futhi ungabona ukuthi noma ubani angazithethelela kanjani lokho njengenguqulo eshibhe kakhulu ($327,100) ye-Porsche 911 GT3. Umehluko wukuthi iPorsche ayikwenzi ukuthi ugoqeke okwepenki njalo uma ungena kuyo.
