I-Chevrolet Corvette 2013 Uhlolojikelele

Le Corvette enomsebenzi wobuciko ilungele ukugubha usuku lokuzalwa lwesihlabani semoto yezemidlalo. Uma uthanda izimoto ezisheshayo, ke u-2013 ugcwele ama-anniversary. Le 100 ayiyona eka-Aston Martin, futhi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini, kubukeka sengathi izoshaya elinye ithani kunalokho eke lenza esikhathini esidlule. Futhi kugujwa ikhulunyaka lendlu yokuklama yase-Italy uBertone, umbhali onekhono wemiklamo eminingi evelele, kuyilapho owayengumakhi kagandaganda uLamborghini ehlanganisa iminyaka engama-50, kanjalo nomenzi wezimoto ezinkulu waseBrithani uMcLaren.

Okuphawuleka nakakhulu ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke kwangemva kwempi ngeminyaka yawo-1950 kwaveza amamodeli ahlukene esisawancoma nanamuhla. Izimoto ezimbili zezemidlalo, ezihlangene zimelela izigxobo ezimbili ze-European and American approach to performance, ziphawula izinombolo ezibalulekile: Kusukela eJalimane, i-Porsche 911 iphenduka iminyaka engu-50; kuyilapho iChevrolet Corvette, emashumini ayisithupha eminyaka kamuva, ingelinye lamagama amadala kakhulu asakhiqizwa.

UMLANDO

Kuthathe iminyaka embalwa ukuthi i-Corvette iveze ukuthi ingubani - izibonelo zakuqala zazizacile futhi zinzima - kodwa isizukulwane sesikhombisa, esivezwe embukisweni wezimoto iDetroit ngoJanuwari, saqinisa indawo yaso njengesihlabani sokudlala kumlaza weGeneral Motors. I-C7 yaziwa ngokuvuselela ibheji elidumile le-Stingray futhi igcine ifomula: injini yangaphambili, idrayivu yamasondo angemuva.

Uma impumelelo ikalwa ekuthengisweni, i-Corvette iyawina. Isamba sabathengi abayizigidi eziyi-1.4 uma kuqhathaniswa no-820,000 911 kwabangu-30, okungamaphesenti angaba ngu-52,000 athandwa kakhulu. Intengo inento yokwenza nayo: E-US, i-Corvette entsha iqala ku-$85,000 uma iqhathaniswa nangaphezulu kuka-$911 nge-$XNUMX.

I-RHD COVERSIONS

E-Australia, siphoqeleka ukuthi sibheke ngomona. Hhayi nje ngenxa yomehluko wamanani - ama-911 abiza ngaphezulu kwama- $ 200,000 lapha - kodwa endabeni ye-Corvette, kungenxa yokutholakala kalula. Izimoto ezihamba phambili eMelika zakhiwe kuphela ngokushayela kwesokunxele. Ezinye izimakethe zokushayela kwesokudla, ikakhulukazi i-UK ne-Japan, zivumela izimoto ezinesondo lokuqondisa ohlangothini olungalungile, kodwa i-Australia ishwabene.

Uma ufuna i-Corvette, kufanele uyiguqule. Ngenhlanhla, kunemisebenzi eminingi eyenza lokho kanye. Enye yezintsha yiTrofeo Motorsport ezinze eVictoria. Umqondisi uJim Manolios wenza imali ngokuhlolwa kwegazi futhi waguqula uthando lwakhe lwezezimoto lwaba yibhizinisi. I-Trofeo isingatha izinsuku zokushayela, ithimba lomjaho futhi ingumsabalalisi kazwelonke wamasondo e-Pirelli motorsport. Sekuphele unyaka engenisa futhi eguqula ama-corvettes endaweni yakhe yokusebenzela e-Hallam, ngaseDandenong.

UTrofeo uzibophezele ekuguquleni izinto ekugcineni, ekutholeni izimoto e-US futhi ugxile kakhulu kuCorvette owaziwa ukuthi kunzima ukuyithatha, kusho uManolios. Izingxenye ezidinga ukushintshwa - ezingaba ngu-100 - ziskenwa zibe ikhompuyutha, ziphendulwe, bese ziphrintwa nge-3D. Ezinye izingxenye zevolumu ephansi zingenziwa ngokuqondile ngale ndlela, noma ukuphrinta kwe-3D kungaba yisisekelo samathuluzi okukhiqiza.

Isiteringi, i-pedal box kanye nama-wiper windshield adinga ukushintshwa, kanye nenqwaba yezinto ezingabonakali njengama-airbag nezintambo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Trofeo inikeza izinhlobonhlobo zezinketho, kusukela kumakhithi e-carbon fiber body kuya kuma-exhauss athuthukisiwe, ukumiswa kanye namabhuleki, namashaja amakhulu.

IZINTENGO NAMAMODEL

Amanani aqala ku-$150,000 eGrand Sport, enenjini engu-321kW 6.2-litre V8. Ukuguqulwa kohlobo olusezingeni eliphezulu i-Z06 enenjini engu-376 7.0 kW 8-litre V260,000 kuyabiza kakhulu, izinketho ezivumela ukuthi intengo ikhuphuke ifinyelele ku-$XNUMX.

UManolios uthi iCorvette iletha ukusebenza kweFerrari ngenani elincane lentengo futhi ukholelwa ukuthi kunesidingo esikhulu sayo. Sithungatha umuntu onemali yePorsche ephaketheni ofuna imoto yomdlalo wangempela,” usho kanje.

Ukukhiqizwa kwe-US kwale Corvette ephumayo, i-C6, kwamiswa ngoFebhuwari ukuze kuvulwe indlela ye-C7. Kuze kube manje, i-Trofeo isiguqule ama-C6 ayisikhombisa futhi izothola inguqulo entsha ekupheleni konyaka ukuze iprakthize inqubo. Ngaleso sikhathi, uManolios uthi angathola amanye ama-Z06. Umgomo omkhulu uwukuletha izimoto ezingama-20 ngonyaka.

HLOLA IMOTO

Ngishayele i-Z06 enemisebenzi: i-suspension ethuthukisiwe, i-spoiler yangaphambili neziketi eziseceleni ze-carbon fiber, i-exhaust yangokwezifiso futhi okubaluleke kakhulu ishaja ye-Harrop. Leyo V8, ebizwa nge-LS7 kukhodi yeGeneral Motors futhi ikhipha ama-cubic inches angu-427 emalini endala, ithathelwa indawo injini yesizukulwane esisha ku-C7. UManolios ucabanga ukuthi i-LS7 izoba nesikhalo esizwelayo, futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthi ungavumelani nalokho.

Ngokusekelwe kunjini ye-alloy block ye-racing Corvettes, ifaka isistimu yokugcoba ye-sump eyomile nezinduku zokuxhuma ze-titanium ezingasindi namavalvu okungenisa. Iyaduma futhi inyakazisa imoto ingenzi lutho, ibhonga ngaphansi kwe-throttle futhi iklebhule ngaphansi kwesivinini, kanye ne-supercharger ikhala endaweni ephikisanayo ephelele.

I-supercharger idinga ihood eyenziwe kabusha eneqhubu elikhulu. Yenziwe nge-carbon fiber, eyenza isisindo esincane se-supercharger ngokwayo. I-chassis iphinde ithathwe ku-motorsport futhi yenziwe nge-aluminium, kanti amaphaneli amaningi omzimba afana nophahla enziwe nge-carbon fiber. Ngakho-ke, i-Z06 inesisindo esingaphezudlwana kwe-Porsche 911 (1450 kg), naphezu kokuba yinde futhi ibanzi kancane.

Ngakho-ke njengoba amandla anyukele ku-527kW kanye ne-torque efinyelela ku-925Nm, i-Z06 enamandla kakhulu iyakwazi ukuvutha. UManolios ucabanga ukuthi isikhathi esiyiziro siye ku-3.0kph esingaphansi kwamasekhondi ayi-100 singenzeka, futhi akunzima ukuzungeza inunu ye-Pirellis ngamagiya angaphezu kwelilodwa. Ngokunyakaza, ukusheshisa akupheli, futhi uma kukhona okuhlaba umxhwele kakhulu ukushayela kwakho ngokushesha. Ambalwa amaplanti kagesi engiwazamile abedakwe kakhulu.

Ukushayela

I-Z06 ibamba njengeLotus echithe izinyanga e-Venice Beach. Ngokufanayo, kuphela kwemisipha eyengeziwe. NjengeLotus, ukumiswa kuqinile futhi umsebenzi womzimba uqinile, ngakho uthola ukuzwa njalo ukuthi imoto yakhiwe kanjani, ngokusebenzisa ama-creaks amancane nokububula. Isisindo sisatshalaliswa ngokulinganayo ngaphambili-ngemuva.

Umphumela uba imoto ezizwa ibhalansile futhi inama-nuances ekuhambeni kwayo, enama-dynamics angakwazi ukuphatha amandla amakhulu. Ukulawula kuyasiza. Iqondisa kahle futhi ngokunembile naphezu kokuba isibambo sithe ukubamba ohlangothini olukhulu, kuyilapho i-throttle inikeza ukulawula kwe-milimetric kanye nokuzwakala kwebhuleki kuqhathaniswa nokuhamba phambili.

Imanuwali enamagiya ayisithupha ishintsha kahle, nakuba i-throttle yesibili ecishe icishe isho ukuthi ngikhuphuke izikhathi ezimbalwa. Ngalo lonke lelo khono, i-Z06 ihlolwe kangcono emzileni womjaho, futhi angikwazanga ukuzibamba kodwa ngazibuza ukuthi isiphi isivinini ongasibona e-Phillip Island iqonde.

Ngenhlanhla, ubungeke ubheke phansi ukuze uthole; i-Z06 inombukiso obheke phezulu, ofana ne-Holden Commodore Redline yakamuva, noma ngabe isizukulwane sangaphambilini. Lokhu kuyiqiniso kuwo wonke ama-electronics, okuyisilinganiso seminyaka ye-Corvette ephumayo. Lokhu kuyasebenza nangaphakathi, okuyi-GM yangaphambi kwenguquko yakudala.

Izihlalo zilungile, indawo yomthwalo ivulekile (kodwa bekungaba kuhle ukuba namahhuku ukuyikhwelisa), futhi kukhona okuthinta okujabulisayo njenge-electronic door opener. Kodwa-ke, i-vibe iyonke iyipulasitiki eshibhile kanye nokwakhiwa kwe-lackluster. Akulona iphutha lokuguqulwa, okucishe kungenzeki ukubonwa esihlalweni somshayeli. Ibhuleki lesandla lihlala likhona futhi udinga umshwalense wegiya lokuqala uma upaka, kodwa akungeni endleleni.

Ingaphandle futhi iveza umsuka wayo we-GM ngenxa yokungalingani kahle kwephaneli, kuyilapho umbala wehood kule Trofeo yasekuqaleni ubungase uthuthukiswe. Kodwa awuthengi i-Corvette yengaphakathi layo, kancane kancane i-Z06. Ngaphandle kwenjini nendlela egibela ngayo, uyakwazi ukubabaza iwindi elinobukhazikhazi elingemuva namalambu angemuva ayindilinga. Lona umbono oyivelakancane, futhi udonsa abalandeli yonke indawo lapho ngiya khona.

Naphezu kwamandla amakhulu esibonelo engisishayele, le moto bekungaba lula kakhulu ukuhlala nayo - ithambile uma ungayiphushi, futhi ibe nekhwalithi yokugibela engcono kunobekulindelekile. Kwakuyisikhathi eside ukulinda ukuthi ngizame i-Corvette, kodwa bekufanelekile. Manje ngibheke ngabomvu ku-C7. Ngenhlanhla, iTrofeo Motorsport nayo ikubheke ngabomvu.
