I-HSV Clubsport R8 isinamandla angu-497kW/955Nm, kanti iSS iqala ku-457kW/780Nm. Lokhu kukhononda kakhulu kunomhlambi wezingulube futhi kuqinisekisa isikhundla sika-Walkinshaw njengomdlali omkhulu ku-aftermarket.

VALUE

Ukuthuthukiswa kubiza u-$18,990. Njengoba i-SS engu-6.0-litre iqala ku-$41,990 kanye neClubsport engu-6.2-litre engu-R8 iqala ku-$71,290, ukuthuthukiswa kungu-$60,980 no-$90,280, ngokulandelana. Ungathenga imoto ehlangene yalokhu, kodwa yengeza amandla alingana namandla emoto ephakathi. Sikhuluma ngokwanda kwamandla ngamaphesenti angu-50, kanye ne-torque engu-400 Nm kumodeli ye-HSV. Ukuthuthukiswa ngokuvamile kwenziwa ngomshini.

I-TECHNOLOGY

I-supercharger iyi-Eaton 2300 series twin swirl supercharger efakwe ama-injection kaphethiloli asebenza kahle, i-intercooler ekhethekile kanye nesistimu yokungenisa umoya obandayo. I-exhaust ishunwa ukuze kwandiswe ukugeleza komoya futhi imiphumela iyamangalisa. I-transmission iphinde isekelwe yi-Walkinshaw ukulinganisa iwaranti yemoto entsha yomnikeli.

Design

Njengoba ifakwe i-MyLink infotainment system enamandla kakhulu, amamodeli e-VF agcina efake iCommodore ekhulwini lama-21. I-HSV yengeza amageji ebhethri namandla kawoyela esisekelweni se-centre console, kanye ne-EDI performance telemetry ebonisa ukulayishwa okungemuva namandla futhi iza nesici somjaho. Izihlalo ze-HSV zibeka imodeli ye-SS ehlazweni ngokubukeka nokudonsa, kodwa lokho kulindelekile uma kubhekwa umehluko wamanani.

UKUPHEPHA

I-VF Commodore yenze kahle ekuhlolweni kokuphahlazeka kwe-ANCAP ngamaphuzu angu-35.06/37. Ukuhlolwa kokushayisana kwemizimba yasendaweni kuyaphawula: “Esivivinyweni sokushayisana kwangaphambili, ukuvikela isifuba nomlenze womshayeli kwakwamukelwa. Ukuvikelwa kwemilenze yomgibeli nakho kwakwamukelwa. Yonke eminye imiphumela yokulimala kulokhu kuhlolwa nasekuhlolweni komthelela oseceleni ibimihle.”

Kwanele ukusho, ngendlela evame ukuqapha ye-ANCAP, ukusho iziphetho ezinjalo.

Ukushayela

I-Walkinshaw ephuma ku-HSV izwakala iqinile kuzo zonke izindawo - amabhuleki, isihlalo esisekela izihlalo nesiteringi - kune-SS evamile. Lokhu kubangela ukuzethemba okwengeziwe emkhawulweni kanye nezinga eliphezulu lokubamba ngaphambi kokuba ingemuva liqale ukwehluleka. Ngokunikezwa kwezibuyekezo ze-Walkinshaw, izokhishwa ngokushesha okukhulu uma unganakile. Imizuzwana ngaphambi kokuba iqale phezulu, i-R8 ibhonga njengendlovu enema. Ibe igijima emgwaqeni ihambisana nomfutho we-tsunami futhi ibonakala ingami uma i-speedometer ifika ku-260 km/h.

ICarsguide iphakamisa ukuthi isikhawu semizuzwana engu-4.0 ukusuka ekuphumuleni siye ku-100 km/h, kodwa umshayeli ohloniphekile emzileni womjaho angakwazi ngisho nokusinciphisa sibe ngamathathu aphezulu. Kuyashesha kakhulu. I-SS isiseduze nje futhi ngokwenani lemali imele inani elingcono kakhulu. I-accelerator ayinyakazi kangako, futhi izwakala ilula ngaphezu kwamasondo angaphambili. Umsindo wokukhipha umoya awunakwenzeka ukuthukuthelisa omakhelwane.

Zombili zilungele ukusetshenziswa nsuku zonke, obekuyingxenye ebalulekile yesibuyekezo se-Walkinshaw. Amandla aphezulu alungele ukubukisa endaweni yokucima ukoma, kodwa awasizi uma imoto isuka noma izama ukugibela ingene ngemuva emotweni engaphambili ngokushesha nje lapho incindezelwa i-accelerator pedal. Akudingekile ukusho, ukwelashwa kwe-Walkinshaw kuyasebenza.

TOTAL

Ngakulo hlangothi lwe-HSV GTS, akukho neyodwa imoto eyakhiwe endaweni esondela kuyo emgqeni wokudonsa noma emigwaqweni emajikojiko. Okuthi i-Walkinshaw ne-Commodores ngokuvamile ephansi ngesivinini sokujika siyasuswa lapho isiteringi sikhululwa futhi kuvulwe ishaja enkulu.
