Hlola i-French masterpiece yokugcina i-Citroen XM V6
Le Citroen ibanda kakhulu kunanoma iyiphi iMercedes neBMW. Wacishe wabhubhisa izimbangi zakhe, kepha ekugcineni waba isisulu sesibindi sakhe.
Kwakungukuhlubuka! Sekudlule iminyaka engaphezu kweshumi selokhu iCitroen eyonakele yaba ngaphansi kokulawulwa ngabalingisi bePeugeot ngo-1976. Iminyaka engaphezu kweyishumi yobuciko bokudweba, ukungahambisani nokuphila nokuhlanya kwemoto okunempilo (kwesinye isikhathi hhayi). ICitro enkulu elandelayo kwakungafanele izalwe: i-DS yaphezulu kanye ne-avant-garde CX babeka engozini ukushiywa ngaphandle kwendlalifa. Kepha onjiniyela bathathe le ntuthuko ngasese kubaphathi, kwathi lapho sekuvezwa konke, kwase kwephuze kakhulu ukuma.
Wazalwa ngale ndlela i-XM. AmaNtaliyane aqhamuka estudiyo iBertone adwebe umzimba onezinhlangothi ngesitayela sesikhala sokunqamula isikhala - futhi umuntu angasho ukuthi ngonyaka we-1989 lo mbono wawungasasebenzi kakhulu, ngoba inani eliphakeme lemfashini ye-cosmo lafika ngasekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa. Kepha kwenza mehluko muni uma i-liftback isabukeka njenge-ultra-futuristic ngemuva kwesizinda sabantu ababuthuntu? Futhi yebo, wayengu-liftback nje kuphela: Abahlali baseCitroen ngokomlando babhekana nokungezwani komzimba okuqinile nama-sedans, futhi cha "kuyamukelwa" futhi "ngakho-ke kuyadingeka" abakwazanga ukubancenga.
Yize ngandlela thile kwakuseyi-sedan: i-trunk yehlukaniswe negumbi lomgibeli ngengilazi eyengeziwe, yeshumi nantathu (!) Enezinombolo, eklanyelwe ukuvikela abagibeli, bathi, emoyeni obandayo ovela emgwaqweni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abagibeli beCitroen XM bahamba ngokugqamile - kubandakanya omengameli baseFrance uFrançois Mitterrand noJacques Chirac. Ngakho-ke, ingaphakathi laligcwele ligcwele.
Izihlalo zangemuva ezifudumele, ukushayela kagesi kwakho konke nakho konke, kufaka phakathi izibuko, isilawuli sezulu esizenzakalelayo - manje akumangazi, kepha ngo-1989 kwaCitroen bafakela imodeli yayo ephezulu cishe nakho konke okutholakalayo. Uthanda kanjani ukulungiswa kukagesi kwe-armrest yesikhungo? Sasingekho isinqumo esinjalo embonini yezimoto emhlabeni ngaphambi noma ngemuva! Imoto esiyihlolile isivele ifakwa uthayela, nengaphakathi layo alinaso neze isibindi njengangaphandle kwayo. Uma kungenasicefe. Kepha ukufakwa kwesikhumba okuhle futhi okuvulekile okuhlanganisiwe - akukho varnish! - zibukeka zikanokusho ngaphandle kwehaba futhi zinikeza umqondo omangazayo wekhwalithi yempilo. Yikuphi i-XM esekelayo nasekuhambeni.
Ngaphansi kwe-hood, injini ebanda kunazo zonke etholakalayo - i-V6 enamalitha amathathu enamandla angama-200, izimpande zayo zibuyela emuva maphakathi namashumi ayisikhombisa, kugcwele ukugquma okugcwele. Ngokuvamile, izinjini bezingezinye zezindawo ezibuthakathaka zeCitroen XM uma ziqhathaniswa nama- "German" akhule ngemisipha, kodwa le nguqulo ephezulu ishayela kamnandi kakhulu. Ukudonsa okukholisayo, ipasipoti amasekhondi angu-8,6 kuye kwikhulu, ukusebenza okuqondile kwe "speed" ezinhlanu zejubane (yebo, yebo!), Futhi okubaluleke kakhulu - indawo yokugcina amandla eqinile ngisho nangemva kwamakhilomitha ayi-120 ngehora, okuguqula ukuphindisela emuva, uma kungenjalo ukuduma kwezimoto okuzenzakalelayo, bese kuba yindawo enhle kakhulu yokuthinta ngokuqinisekile.
Ngemuva kwakho konke, ukuzethemba okunikezwa yiCitroen ngesivinini esikhulu akukwazi ukubizwa ngokunye ngaphandle komlingo - futhi nezinga le-asphalt ngaphansi kwamasondo akunandaba. Imfihlo ikukumiswa okuphathelene ne-hydropneumatic: kwavela maphakathi namashumi amahlanu kumodeli ye-DS, kepha kusukela lapho akekho noyedwa emhlabeni okwazile ukuyikhiqiza kabusha, futhi uRolls-Royce wagcina eyekile wavele wathenga ilayisense kwaCitroen . Futhi lapha uhlelo seluvele luyaguquguquka - nezinzwa ezifunda amapharamitha wokunyakaza, nobuchopho be-elekthronikhi obuguqula ngokuzenzakalela ukuqina. Ngo-1989!
Kubi impela ukukhuluma ngobushelelezi bokuhamba, kunalokho, udinga ukuthola igama elithi "ubushelelezi bendiza". Kubukeka sengathi i-XM icishe ivuleke, ingathinti neze umhlaba: akukho kunyakaza hhayi ezihlalweni kuphela, kodwa nasesiteringini - lapha futhi okungafani nabo bonke abanye abantu. Lolu hlelo lubizwa nge-Diravi futhi luyingxenye yesekethe ye-hydraulic isiyonke, okubandakanya ukumiswa kanye namabhuleki. Eqinisweni, akukho ukuxhumana okuqondile namasondo: umane unikeze umyalo kuma-hydraulic, futhi isivele ixhumana ne-rack. Ngakho-ke - ukungabikho ngokuphelele kwamagalelo angajabulisi ... kepha, kanye nempendulo yendabuko.
Kubukeka sengathi lokhu kufanele kuphazamise ngokushintshana, kepha cha: isiteringi seXM sicijile kakhulu, imoto iyiphendula ngokushesha nangokunganaki - futhi ngasikhathi sinye ayethuki nakancane! Ngejubane elikhulayo, "isiteringi" esingenasisindo siyathululwa (ngokwezwi nezwi, ama-hydraulic) ngomzamo wangemuva, bese kuthi kuvela ukuthi okuqukethwe kolwazi ngomqondo waso wakudala, ngokujwayelekile, akudingeki ekuthembeni nasekuqondeni konke okwenzekayo emshinini. Umlingo njengoba unjalo!
ICitroen XM imvamisa ishayela ngokungafani nezimoto ezejwayelekile ukuthi kunzima ukususa umcabango wokuthi yasungulwa kwenye indawo. Njengokungathi emuva ezinsukwini ze-DS, amaFulentshi enza isivumelwano noDeveli, futhi kusuka kwenye indawo kusuka kolunye uhlangothi, inqwaba yamapulani avele awa phezu kwabo. Isitokwe sokuqala saze saba seminyakeni engama-30 nengu-40 kamuva, imishini ye-hydropneumatics ngokuyisisekelo yehluke kakhulu kulabo ababeqhudelana nabo - futhi yabadlula ngezindlela eziningi.
Kwenzekeni-ke? Kungani i-XM ingazange igaye izimbangi zibe yimpuphu ngeminyaka yamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye? Uyazi, waze waqala. I-liftback yathola isihloko semoto sonyaka, futhi ukuthengisa ngo-1990 kweqa amakhophi ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu - okufana neBMW E100 neMercedes-Benz W34! Kodwa kwakungalesi sikhathi lapho kwavela khona inqwaba yezinkinga ngogesi nange-elekthronikhi, futhi idumela likaCitroen lawela kwalasha. I-XM izoqhubeka nokukhiqizwa kuze kufike ku-124, kepha ukusakazwa okuphelele kuzoba yizimoto eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-2000 kuphela, futhi ozongena esikhundleni sakhe ngokomqondo - uC300 oyinqaba - uzobambezela ukuqala kwayo kuze kube maphakathi no-6 ... futhi akekho ozodinga konke. Ukumiswa kwe-hydropneumatic kuzobamba i-C5 eminye iminyaka eyishumi, kepha uCitroen uzoyishiya ekugcineni. Kubiza kakhulu, bathi.
Umphumela odabukisayo? Kunzima ukuphikisana. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-de kanye nama- "X-em" amaningi asekhona kuze kube yilolu suku, ikakhulukazi ezinhlotsheni eziphezulu - kuyabiza, kunzima futhi kubiza ukugcina yonke le mishini eyinkimbinkimbi. Kepha kuphephile ukusho ukuthi emashumini ambalwa eminyaka le Citroen izoba yinto yomqoqi ethokozisayo futhi ebalulekile, futhi kuyilungelo elikhulu ukujwayelana nenganekwane ezayo manje. Futhi ukubheka ikusasa isitayela seCitroen kakhulu, akunjalo?
