Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Rolls-Royce Phantom 2007

Abakaze bayishayele iRolls-Royces yakamuva nephambili futhi iningi labo alikayiboni ngisho imoto yangempela, kodwa bayazi nje ukuthi badinga iDrophead Coupe. Ngisho noma kubabiza imali eshisiwe engu-$1.2 million.

Intengo yohlu lwemoto entsha enezihlalo ezine zikanokusho kakhulu eshintshwayo e-Australia ingu-$1.19 wezigidi, ngaphandle kokubala amathoyizi akhethekile kanye nokuthintwa kokuqeda leyo iningi labanikazi beRolls-Royce elizofuna imoto yabo entsha.

Ikunikezani?

Ngaphandle kwebheji kanye ne-mascot yentokazi ephiko ku-grille edume kakhulu emgwaqeni, ngo-2007 uthenga enye yezimoto ezibiza kakhulu emhlabeni.

I-Drophead coupe iyindlela enhle yokuhamba ngomkhumbi ovulekile futhi izoba indlela engcono kakhulu yokwenza ukufika okumangalisayo kunoma yiliphi ihhotela lezinkanyezi ezinhlanu noma umcimbi wesimemo kuphela noma yikuphi e-Australia, ngisho noma abanye abamenyiwe befike nge-Ferrari. noma i-Lamborghini noma i-Bentley.

Iphinde isuke ku-100 iye ku-5.7 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-240 futhi ijubane layo eliphezulu elingu-XNUMX km/h – njengoba lezo zinombolo zibalulekile.

“Selokhu kwathi nhlo embonini yezimoto, siphendule ngokuyibuyisela kule moto,” kusho uSihlalo we-Rolls-Royce Motors, u-Ian Robertson. “Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi baningi abangabazayo abathi, ‘iRolls-Royce yenziwe ngabakwaBMW, sizobona,’ manje bayabona.

Abathengi abavamile cishe banemali yokudlala engaba yizigidi ezingu-15, izimoto ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisishiyagalombili egaraji labo, futhi bangase babe phakathi kweminyaka engu-17 nengu-70. U-Robertson ukhuluma ngezikhulu ezimbili zaseSaudi ezisanda kuthenga i-Phantom ngosuku lwabo lokuzalwa lwe-17, kanye nabanikazi abavelele base-Australian Phantom uJohn Lowes noLindsey Fox.

Uphinde abe nedatha ngenani losozigidi bezinkampani ze-inthanethi, osomabhizinisi baseShayina, izingcweti zezinsiza zase-Australia, ngisho nezimakethe zezimali eziphumelele ezingaphezu kuka-1000 ezithole amabhonasi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-2.5 zamarandi eLondon ngonyaka odlule. U-Robertson uthi cishe uhhafu wabanikazi be-Drophead Coupe bazoba abasha kumkhiqizo we-Rolls-Royce, okuwumsebenzi omkhulu wenkampani ebhekene nesinye sezikhathi zokukhula ezimangalisayo emlandweni wayo.

Le nkampani yakha izimoto ezingu-805 ngonyaka odlule, inenqwaba yezinhlobo ezintsha ezisebenzayo, futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ilethe izinto eziguqukayo ezingaphezu kuka-$100 million kulo nyaka.

“Kulo nyaka sihlele ukukhiqiza izimoto ezingu-100 kuya kwezingu-120 (ngaphezulu),” kusho uRobertson. “Umkhiqizo wethu usuwonke kulo nyaka uzonyuka, yize amayunithi angama-900 engase adlule kancane. Ngakho-ke endaweni ethile ecishe ibe ngu-850 noma ngaphezulu. ”

Cishe akunakwenzeka ukubeka i-Drophead Coupe kunoma imuphi umbono ongokoqobo, kodwa imoto emangalisayo ephila ngokuvumelana nesiko le-Rolls-Royce futhi esunduza imingcele yalokho okungenzeka. Konke kuqala nge-chassis ye-aluminium space frame eyenza i-Rolls-Royce iguquleke ibe namandla kunawo wonke emhlabeni ngaphandle kophahla.

Phakathi kwezinto etholakala kuzo i-air suspension, injini engu-6.7 litre V12 kanye ne-six-speed automatic transmission, kanjalo ne-brushed steel, i-teak, i-wood veneer, isikhumba sikanokusho kanye ne-top eshintshwayo eyi-cashmere eyi-five-layer.

Futhi ziningi izinto zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu, okuhlanganisa i-electronic stability control, amabhuleki angashibiliki, i-one-touch roof evula noma ivalwe ngemizuzwana engu-25, kanye nenguqulo ye-Rolls-Royce ye-BMW iDrive finicky.

Kodwa abathengi maningi amathuba okuthi bazuzwe ngamawashi e-analog, izinkinobho zikagesi zokuvala izicabha zokuzibulala (“Sincamela ukuzibiza ngezicabha zenqola,” kusho uRobertson), izambulela ezenziwe ngokwezifiso, isiqu “setafula lepikiniki” esizobamba u-170kg, namasondo angu-20 inch alloy.

I-Drophead akuyona imoto enhle kunazo zonke emgwaqeni, kodwa inobuhle obubi. Indawo eseceleni ifana nesikebhe esinenjini, ngokokuqala ngqa emlandweni wale nkampani ukuthi igrille ihlehle kancane ukuze kuhambe kahle komoya kanye nokuphepha kwabahamba ngezinyawo. Kodwa uRolls-Royce usamile kwelokuthi iDrophead Coupe kuseyimoto okumele uyishayele futhi uyithokozele.

Emgwaqeni akuphiki ukuthi imoto ewubukhazikhazi lena, yize ingaphambili ibheke ekhaya phambi kweloli elisha lakwaKenworth nobunzima bokupaka i-top up.

I-Rolls-Royce ibambe ukubuka kuqala kwabezindaba emhlabeni wonke e-Tuscany, izwe elihle elinemigwaqo eyinselele emangalisayo ebonisa ikhwalithi yobunjiniyela obukhona kanye nokunaka okumangalisayo emininingwaneni ongayilindela emotweni ngale ntengo.

I-Drophead akuyona imoto yezemidlalo, kodwa ingashayelwa ngokushesha okumangalisayo futhi ayilokothi iphume ekulawuleni noma ibe yimbi. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuqondisa imoto usebenzisa iminwe embalwa esiteringini esincane, usithambisa emakhoneni bese siphumela ku-338kW ngezikhathi ezithile ukuze sizijabulise kuma-straights. Iwumdondoshiya - 5.6m ubude kanye no-2620kg - kodwa iyakwazi ukuthakazelisa futhi inomklamo ophelele wokulengiswa nokubamba izimo ezimbi kakhulu zomgwaqo.

I-Drophead nayo ithule futhi phezulu phansi ku-160 mph, inendawo esiqwini samasethi amathathu amakilabhu egalofu, futhi ikwazi ukuhlalisa kalula abantu abadala abane ngokunethezeka okukhethekile.

Zimbili izinto ezangikhanga. Owokuqala bekuwumjaho we-10km wobhuqu owubhuqu obungaba umzuliswano ophelele weWorld Rally Championship. Eyesibili kube ukugijima ngokushesha ngeBMW 760i.

Ukuchaphazeka kodaka kwafakazela ukuthi i-Drophead coupe iqinile, yakhiwe, ivikela izintuli futhi iphumule emgwaqeni i-Commodore noma i-Falcon engashelela, igingqike futhi inyakaze. Futhi i-air con kanye ne-nav nav yayinkulu. BMW? Ngemuva kweRolls-Royce, ibizwakala iminyene, ishibhile futhi iluhlaza, kodwa isengenye yezimoto ezihamba phambili emhlabeni.

Ngakho-ke iDrophead, nakuba ibiza amalitha angu-18.8 ngebanga lika-100 km, isitayela esixakile nokuthi abantu bashayela iRolls-Royce, iyimoto enhle kakhulu ngesikhathi izimoto zomhlaba zingakaze zibe ngcono.
