I-Test drive iLincoln Continental Mark V ibhekene neBMW 8
Ukulawulwa kwesimo sezulu, izesekeli zamandla kanye nenzwa yokukhanya okuzenzakalelayo - kungenzeka yini ukuthi iLincoln ka-1960 ipholile njengeBMW M850i ka-2019
IBMW G8 evuselelwe, ekhishwe ngonyaka owedlule, isibe ngenye yezimoto eziteleka futhi eziqhamuka kakhulu eBavaria eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Futhi akuyona nje idizayini emangalisayo kanye ne-V500 enkulu ene-hp engaphezu kuka-XNUMX. nge, kodwa futhi kusethi yemishini esezingeni eliphakeme.
Ukushisa, ukungena komoya, ukulawulwa kokuhamba ngesikebhe okuguquguqukayo, umzila uqhubeke usize, ukukhanya kwe-laser okuzenzakalelayo ngisho nohlelo lokubona ebusuku olunokubona kwabahamba ngezinyawo. Enye into iyamangaza: cishe isigamu esihle semishini enjalo savela ezimotweni eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-XNUMX edlule. Ukuthi nje bambalwa abantu abazi ngakho.
Ngo-1960, uTheodore Maiman wasungula i-laser, uJacques Piccard wacwila ezansi kweMariana Trench, kanti leli Zwekazi uMark V lasuka entanjeni yesakhiwo saseLincoln eDetroit. . Isibonelo, kwadalwa inso yokufakelwa, futhi okokuqala ngqa, izidalwa eziphilayo ezaqala emkhathini, izinja uBelka noStrelka, zabuyela eMhlabeni ziphephile futhi zizwakala.
Kepha umuntu ojwayelekile, ikakhulukazi owaseMelika, wayengakhathali kangako ngokwenzeka ngemuva kweminyango evaliwe yama-laboratories noma kwi-orbit yesibili eseduze komhlaba. Kwakubaluleke kakhulu ukubona izithelo zentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe empilweni yansuku zonke, nokuzwa ukuthi bayishintsha kanjani impilo ibe ngcono lapha namanje. Ngakho-ke abantu baseMelika abajwayelekile bathokoze kakhulu futhi bathokozwa yi-Tappan microwave oven esanda kwethulwa kanye nomenzi wekhofi kagesi kaFaema.
Le Lincoln ibingenye yezimpawu zokuthuthuka okusheshayo kwezobuchwepheshe. Okwe-1960, kwakungobuchwepheshe obubabazekayo nentuthuko futhi, njengoba kwavela, yayingaphezulu kwengxenye yekhulu leminyaka ngaphambi kwesikhathi sayo. Futhi ngisho namanje, ngokusho kwesethi yemishini nezinketho zokunethezeka, uMark V angafaka izindwani cishe kunoma iyiphi imoto yesimanje yesimanje.
Ubuhle beLincoln abushiyanga muntu ongenandaba. UMark V umangele ngamasango amahle ngomthambeka obuyela emuva nophahla oluyindilinga, sengathi uzulazula ngaphezu kwemoto. Umzimba wayo oqinile uyi-sedan ngaphandle kwensika engu-B. AbaseYurophu bavame ukubiza "ama-hardtops" izimoto ezineminyango emibili enekhanda eliqinile elikhishwayo, yize benamaphutha. Ukuguqulwa okunjalo kwama-roadsters kubizwa ngokufanele ngokuthi "targa".
IMark Continental V yaba yimoto yokulinga kaLincoln, futhi nangenxa yenhlangano yonke yakwaFord. Le kwakuyimodeli yokuqala ye-monocoque emakethe yaseMelika. Amakhasimende asezitolo ezidayisa ezitolo zaseLincoln amangala futhi aqondanga ngokuphelele ukuthi yini enamathiselwe kuzo zonke izingxenye nezinhlangano zemoto ngaphandle kohlaka.
Ngasikhathi sinye, kwakusinda cishe nge-centner kulabo abasancintisana nohlaka, abasafunda nabo. Kepha abantu bakwaFord babengenandaba kangako, kanye namakhasimende. Ngempela, ngaphansi kwesikhwama seZwekazi uMark V, kwafakwa amandla amakhulu kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi ngama-litre ayi-7 "ayisishiyagalombili" abuyiselwe amabutho angama-350. Ngisho neCadillac 8-cylinder block enkulu yathuthukisa amandla "angama-325" kuphela.
Kepha okuthandwa kakhulu ngamakhasimende nge-Continental Mark V kwakuyinduduzo nemishini. Ngakho-ke, ibhokisi "lizenzakalelayo" kuphela, futhi ama-hydraulic boosters atholakala kokubili ohlelweni lwamabhuleki nasendleleni yokuqondisa.
Yebo, cishe noma iyiphi imoto yanamuhla izomona ngezinketho zikaLincoln. Lapha, izinjini zikagesi zilawula konke ezingakwenza. Ama-driver kagesi angahambisi usofa nengilazi kuphela, kodwa futhi ne-antenna yomsakazo. O, futhi ngasendleleni, naka okhiye abayisikhombisa bamawindi kagesi. Ngaphezu kwezinkinobho ezine ezijwayelekile ezibhekele ukukhulisa nokwehlisa amawindi asemaceleni, izithandani eziningi zilawula ukuzungeza kwemingcele engaphambili, nenkinobho eyodwa yehlisa futhi inyuse ingilazi enkulu yangemuva.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunohlelo lokukhiya oluphakathi, ibhuleki yokupaka kagesi kanye nohlelo lokupholisa umoya, okuyisibonelo sokulawulwa kwesimo sezulu, ngoba ingapholisa umoya ezindaweni ezimbili ezihlukene zomgibeli wabagibeli: kwesobunxele nangakwesokudla.
Kepha ukunqoba kobuchwepheshe obuphezulu inzwa yokukhanya ezenzakalelayo eyenziwe ngamakhophi efakwe ngenhla nje kwedeshi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ayigcini ngokukhanyisa amalambu angaphambili lapho kuhwalala, kodwa futhi iphendula ekukhanyeni okukhanyayo kwezimoto ezizayo futhi ingashintsha ngokuzenzakalela i-optics isuka kude ize isondele.
Namuhla uLincoln ukhiqiza izimoto ezingaphezu kwezinkulungwane eziyikhulu ngonyaka futhi uthengisa izinhlobo zawo ezimakethe zase-US nase China kuphela. Umkhiqizo, owawuphakathi nekhulu leminyaka elidlule wawunamathuba onke okuba yinto efana ne-American Bentley noma i-Rolls Royce, waqala ngokuthola inkinga yenkinga kaphethiloli maphakathi nawo-1970, kwabe sekutheleka kwezimoto zase-Asia ezingabizi kakhulu imakethe yaseMelika.
Izinhlobo zamanje zikaLincoln azigudluli umcabango, kepha zilandela izitayela, zizama ukuthola indawo yazo emakethe. Kepha ifa lobuchwepheshe lomkhiqizo odumile waseMelika liyamangaza futhi liyajabulisa kuze kube namuhla.
