Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Rolls-Royce Phantom 2008

Akubizi nangaleyondlela.

I-Holden futhi ikakhulukazi i-Ford ingajabula kakhulu ukukudayisela izimali zokwenza kanjalo ngaphansi kuka-$50,000. Ngakho-ke akudingekile ukuthi ugqoke ikhola emhlophe ngokomsebenzi ukuze ukwazi ukukhokhela lowo muzwa okhethekile, ingasaphathwa-ke eyesigqoko sokuzivikela.

Kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi ufike lapho bese ufika lapho ngesitayela esingenakuqhathaniswa nokunethezeka ngaphandle komzamo omncane. Kuwumuzwa kuphela abantu abambalwa base-Australia abacebe kakhulu abazokwazi lapho bethola i-Roll-Royce Phantom Coupe entsha engu-$1 million kulo nyaka.

Futhi-ke, le Carsguider enenhlanhla engafanele, owanikezwa i-coupe kuphela ezwenikazi.

Pho, ngizwa abanye benu bevungama? Ngabe lolu phawu lwemoto eyeqile luhlangene ngani nabanye abangu-99.98% bethu? Ngaleso sizathu, ingabe lokhu kuveza akunqunyelwe ekunambithekeni okubi esikhathini sethu sokuzikhandla?

Izimpikiswano eziqinile esingaphendula kuzo ngokuthi noma ubani ozikhathalelayo izimoto (ngokuphambene nalabo abazishoyo, kodwa abanomdlandla ongadluleli ngalé kwe-Holden noma i-Ford) angathanda ukwazi ukuthi yikuphi okungcono kakhulu emhlabeni . Okwesibili, into yokugcina ehlobene nesihloko seRolls-Royce ukuhambisana uqobo.

“Akekho ofuna imoto ka-$1 million,” kusho uBevin Clayton weTrivett Classic Rolls-Royce, indoda ezodayisa ezingu-22 zalezi zimoto kulo nyaka. Ngempela, ngenani elilinganiselwe lentela yemoto kanokusho—cishe u-$300,000—ungathenga iMaserati GranTurismo.

"Kodwa uma usushayele wedwa, kunzima kakhulu ukubuya."

Lokhu kuyinto ezothakaselwa ngabathengi bokuqala beRoller, okulindeleke ukuthi baheheke kulo mqhudelwano. UClayton uthi bazosatshiswa ubukhulu be-Phantom sedan (ingasaphathwa eyenguqulo ye-long-wheelbase), kanye ne-Drophead coupe enhle.

Eqinisweni, i-coupe egqoke isigqoko sokuzivikela ayibukeki ihlaba umxhwele emgwaqeni, hhayi ngesimo noma ngokubukeka. Ngandlela thize iyona ejabulisa kakhulu kokuthathu kuze kube manje, ehlanganisa izimfanelo ezinhle kakhulu zombili.

Kusukela ezingxenyeni ezintathu kwezine ngaphambili, bekungeke kube khona enye into emhlabeni. Uphawu lwe-Spirit of Ecstasy, njengenjwayelo, luhlala phezu kwegrille esiliva egcwalisa izibuko ezibonisa ngemuva futhi buthule imema abangaphambili ukuthi bahlangane kwesokunxele. Ihood iyinsimbi ephucuziwe evamile, uma iqhathaniswa kulokhu nopende ocwebezelayo we-Diamond Black.

Imigqa igqanyiswe ngemigqa emibili ebomvu emnyama, edwetshwe ngesandla ngamabhulashi omsila we-oxtail. Ubuntu be-coupe bubonakala njengoba ukhuphukela efasiteleni elincane elingemuva futhi ulunguza kusikwe se-mahogany esifinyelela umvuthwandaba nge-fascia yangemuva evamile. Uma abagibeli abahlala ezihlalweni ezingemuva bengenakho ukunethezeka kwe-sedan, ngisho nabagibeli abade kunabo bonke banendawo engaphezu kweyenele njengoba begqolozele phezulu ophahleni, lapho inqwaba yezibani ze-LED zinikeza umbono wobusuku obugcwele izinkanyezi.

Vula noma yimiphi iminyango yokushwibeka kokuzibulala futhi yonke into injengoba ubungathemba - ama-expanse esikhumba se-mahogany, amaswishi ayisiliva kanye nalokho okushiwo u-Clayton inguqulo ekhuluphele kancane yalelo sondo lokuqondisa elincanyana lakudala. ekhazimulayo.

Imoto yesithathu esizukulwaneni esisha se-Phantom kusukela ngo-2003, ngemuva kokuthi i-BMW ihlenge i-marque yodumo ebuphofini, inikeza okuthile okungaphezu kwezicabha ezimbili ezincane kunesedan kanye nophahla oluqinile kune-Drophead. Ukusikisela kwalokhu kunikezwa ngamapayipi okukhipha amandla e-chrome ahlukile.

Igama elithi "sporty" livame ukusetshenziswa kusichazamazwi sezimoto, kodwa isimo sengqondo se-coupe kulo mqondo sihluke kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni okuvamile njengoba i-Roll-Royce ngokwayo ihluke kunezinhlobo ezifayo nje. Cindezela inkinobho ethi "S" esiliva esondweni lokuqondisa, shaya i-accelerator, bese i-coupe engu-2.6-ton, 5.6-metres imboza umhlaba ngakho kokubili isiginesha ye-Roll kanye nokugomela okusha.

I-damping izwakala ibukhali, futhi igiya liyalinganiswa ukuze limboze ibanga elijwayelekile le-sprint ngemizuzwana engu-5.8 efunwayo. I-purr ecishe ithule ye-6.75-litre V12 izivumela ukuthi izwakale lapho iphushwa. Hhayi i-hum. Kungaba uncouth.

Ikakhulukazi, ulwazi lokushayela - okungenani ngesikhathi sihambahamba endaweni yemvelo ye-coupe endaweni esempumalanga ye-Sydney - kuhlala kuyindaba yobuhle obungasebenzeki, umuzwa ocishe ube ngokoqobo obuyisela ngokuqinile wonke umuntu oqhudelana nesihlalo sobukhosi esiphezulu endaweni yakhe.
