UJohn Hennessey ngumMelika othanda ukucela umngeni kumandla afakiweyo. BMW M6? Mercedes SL AMG? Kuye “ziimoto zasekhaya” kakhulu… uyawathanda amarhamncwa anuka igesi!
IHennessey yinkampani encinci yokulungiselela imoto ethanda ukuxhokonxa ishishini leemoto. UBugatti uphehlelele iVeyron kwaye wathi “Voilá! Le yeyona moto inemendu ehlabathini”, uHenessey waphehlelela iVenon kwaye wathi “Bugatti, nceda KHAWULE IMPENDULO YAM!” – Ungalibona lonke ibali apha.
So sowubona izinto ezenziwe ngabo. Ukucela uJohn Hennessey, umseki wophawu, ukuba alinganiswe ngelizwi okanye ngesenzo kufana nokucela iViking isimilo setafile, okanye ukubhodla nokucela ukuxolelwa.
Kwaye xa ndithetha ngomthamo omkhulu ndithetha ngenjini ye-V8 ene-7000cc. Ngeli xesha umntu oqhelekileyo uya kupakisha izixhobo kwaye athi "ok, oku kufuneka kwenze". EHennessey ifilosofi yahlukile… yi-esmifran ngokupheleleyo! Baye bayokuthenga kwaye ukongeza kwi-V8 enkulu, bongeza ii-turbos ezimbini. Isiphumo? Leyo yi-1226hp kwi-crankshaft, okanye i-1066hp kwivili! Ukulingana nokuba nenjini ye-Nissan GT-R enikezelwe kwivili ngalinye lokuqhuba. Esona santya siphezulu? Phantse i-400km/h, kunye ne-0-100km/h iphunyezwe ngaphantsi kwemizuzwana emi-3. 2.9 imizuzwana ukuba ichaneke. Phew… injalo loo nto!
Ngokunyanisekileyo? 800hp! Kungangcono ukuba ababekanga nto, okanye bavume ukuba sisixhobo nje sokuqhayisa – Owu, imoto yam ihamba kakubi…! Heyi yima oh Toni… Ndineseti yokuya ku-800hp kuphela! Nangona kunjalo, akukho zimvo.
Konke ukuqhula ecaleni, inyani yeyokuba iHennessey CTS-V VR1200 Twin-Turbo Coupé - ligama elipheleleyo lemodeli - yacatshangelwa ukuya kweyona nkcukacha incinci.
Ukuhambisana nomfutho wenjini – okanye uzame ukuhambisana nayo, uHennessey uxhobise iCTS-V ngeziqhoboshi zeceramic, amatayara “angapheliyo”, kunye nokumiswa kwezemidlalo. Kongezwe i-aerodynamic appendages kuyo yonke indawo ukuvelisa i-downforce et voilá. Nanku umntu ophumelele intshinga yehlabathi enezihlalo ezine ezikhawulezayo.
Ngomda wantoni? nge600hp! Hleka kakhulu…
Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba uHennessey uya kuvelisa kuphela iiyunithi ezili-12 ze-CTS-V ngoko awudingi ukoyika ukuphuma. Ithuba lokuza kwelinye leeyunithi ze-12 lincinci kunokubetha i-Euro-Millions. Ndiyathemba ukuba ukonwabele ukudibana neli rhamncwa. Silandele kwakhona ku-facebook - cofa apha.
