Yethulwe nguLotus Evija 2020

ILotus ithi i-Evija hypercar izokhiqiza amandla angu-1470kW kanye no-1700Nm kumamotho kagesi amane.

I-Lotus yethule ngokusemthethweni imodeli yayo yokuqala kagesi, i-Evija, ibiza i-hypercar engu-1470kW "imoto yomgwaqo enamandla kunazo zonke eyake yenziwa."

Ukukhiqizwa kuzoqala ngonyaka ozayo embonini yohlobo lwe-Hethel, ngamayunithi angu-130 kuphela atholakalayo aqala ku-£1.7m ($2.99m).

I-Lotus yenza izimangalo ezinkulu, yabala amandla ahlosiwe angu-1470kW/1700Nm kanye nesisindo somgwaqo esingu-1680kg "esicacisweni esincane kakhulu". Uma lezi zinombolo zilungile, i-Evija izoba nalo lonke ithuba lokungena emakethe njenge-EV hypercar ekhiqizwa ngobuningi futhi, impela, imoto yomgwaqo enamandla kakhulu.

Uma zingekho izibambo zendabuko, iminyango ye-Evija ilawulwa inkinobho ku-fob yokhiye.

I-Evija iyimoto yokuqala entsha eyethulwe ngabakwaGeely, eyathenga ingxenye enkulu ye-Lotus ngo-2017 futhi manje isiphethe abanye abakhiqizi abahlanganisa iVolvo neLynk&Co.

Futhi iyi-carbon fiber monocoque yokuqala egcwele yohlobo lwayo ukufaka ibhethri ye-lithium-ion engu-70kWh ngemuva kwezihlalo ezimbili, inika amandla amamotho kagesi amane esondweni ngalinye.

Amandla alawulwa ngu-gearbox onesivinini esisodwa bese uwadlulisela emgwaqeni ngokusebenzisa i-torque kuyo yonke imilenze. 

I-Evija ihamba ngo-105mm nje ukusuka phansi, namasondo amakhulu e-magnesium esongwe ngamathayi e-Pirelli Trofeo R.

Uma ixhunywe kushaja esheshayo engu-350kW, i-Evija ingashajwa ngemizuzu engu-18 nje futhi ingahamba amakhilomitha angu-400 ngamandla kagesi amsulwa emjikelezweni ohlangene we-WLTP.

I-automaker iphinde ibikezele ukuthi i-Evija izonyuka ngesivinini isuka ku-zero iye ku-100 km/h ngaphansi kwemizuzwana emithathu futhi ifinyelele isivinini esingaphezu kuka-320 km/h, nokho lezi zibalo zisazoqinisekiswa.

Ngaphandle, i-hypercar yaseBrithani isebenzisa ulimi lwesimanje lokuklama uLotus athi luzobonakala kumamodeli ayo okusebenza esikhathi esizayo.

Amalambu angemuva e-LED ayeklanyelwe ukufana nama-afterburners endiza yokulwa.

Umzimba we-all-carbon-fibre mude futhi uphansi, unamahips aphimiseleyo kanye ne-cockpit emise okwe-teardrop, kanye namathaneli amakhulu e-venturi ahamba enqulwini ngayinye ukuze kuthuthukiswe i-aerodynamics.

Kwethulwe amasondo e-magnesium angu-20 no-21 inch ngaphambili nangemuva, asongwe ngamasondo ePirelli Trofeo R. 

Amandla okumisa ahlinzekwa i-AP Racing amabhuleki e-aluminium enziwe ngomgunyathi anamadiski e-carbon-ceramic, kuyilapho ukumiswa kulawulwa amakhushini ahlanganisiwe anama-adaptive spool dampers amathathu e-asili ngayinye.

Ukuze uthuthukise ukugeleza komoya, isihlukanisi sangaphambili sezindiza ezimbili esiyingqayizivele sinikeza umoya opholile kubhethri ne-asili yangaphambili, kuyilapho ukungabikho kwezibuko zangaphandle ezivamile kusiza ukunciphisa ukudonsa. 

Ngaphandle kokusebenza kwezimoto zomjaho, izinsiza ezifana ne-sat-nav nokulawula isimo sezulu zisezingeni.

Esikhundleni salokho, amakhamera akhelwe kuma-fender angaphambili nophahla, aphakela ukudla okubukhoma kuzikrini ezintathu zangaphakathi.

I-Evija ingena ngezicabha ezimbili ezingenasibambi ezivuleka ngokhiye bese ivala ngenkinobho kudeshibhodi.

Ngaphakathi, ukwelashwa kwe-carbon fiber kuyaqhubeka, kunezihlalo ezisikwe nge-Alcantara ezingasindi kanye nezinsimbi ezincane eziqoshwe ngombhalo othi "For Drivers".

Imisebenzi yangaphakathi ingalawulwa kusetshenziswa ikhonsoli yesikhungo esintantayo yesitayela se-ski-slope ngezinkinobho zokuthinta impendulo ethintekayo.

Isiteringi esimise okwesikwele sinikeza ukufinyelela ezindleleni zokushayela ezinhlanu; Ububanzi, Idolobha, Ukuvakasha, Ezemidlalo Nokulandelela, nesibonisi sedijithali sibonisa ulwazi olubalulekile oluhlanganisa amandla ebhethri nobubanzi obusele. 

"Enhliziyweni yesikhalo sanoma iyiphi i-Lotus ukuthi umshayeli uhlala evumelanisa nemoto futhi ucishe azizwe ethanda ukuyigqoka," kusho uMqondisi we-Lotus Cars Design uRussell Carr. 

“Uma ubheka ngemuva kwesondo, kuwumzuzu omangalisayo wemizwa ukubona umzimba ungaphandle, ngaphambili nangemuva.

"Lena yinto esethemba ukuthi sizoyithuthukisa kumamodeli eLotus azayo." 

Amabhuku oku-oda manje asevuliwe, nokho idiphozithi yokuqala engu-£250 (AU$442,000) iyadingeka ukuze kuvikelwe idivayisi.

Ingabe sibheka i-hypercar kagesi esheshayo? Sitshele imibono yakho esigabeni sokuphawula esingezansi.
