Namhlanje sipapashe unxibelelwano lwethu lokuqala ePortugal ngeMitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV entsha, iSUV yodidi oluphakathi lwaseJapan. SUV? Emva koko. Kuya kufuneka ukuba baninzi abasanxulumanisa igama le-Eclipse kwi-brand kumsebenzi womzimba owahluke ngokupheleleyo kunye nokunye okuninzi "okucaba".
Kwizizukulwana ezibini kunye neminyaka eli-10, kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo kwinkulungwane edlulileyo, iMitsubishi Eclipse yayifana neCoupé yaseYurophu - iCoupé yokwenyani... kwezinye ii-coupes ezisekiweyo kwimarike, njengeToyota Celica.
Yayiyiyo yonke into eya phambili, kodwa iinguqulelo ezinamandla ngakumbi, ezixhotyiswe nge-4G63 (ibhloko efanayo esetyenziswa kwi-Evolution ebalaseleyo), yeza ne-4-wheel drive. Kwaye wayesengu "inkwenkwezi bhanyabhanya" xa sambona kwifilimu yokuqala kwiFurious Speed saga, kwisizukulwana sayo sesibini.
Kuchanekileyo ukusuka kwisizukulwana sesibini kunye ne "round" - eyokugqibela ukuba ithengiswe eYurophu, ibe nezizukulwana ezibini e-US - ukuba umyili uMarouane Bembli, ovela kwitshaneli ye-TheSketchMonkey, esekelwe ukulungiswa kwakhona, ukwenzela ukulungelelanisa ukubonakala I-coupe eneendlela zamva nje zesimbo.
Kukho iividiyo ezimbini eziposwe, kunye neyokuqala igxile ngasemva kwe-coupe yaseJapan kwaye eyesibini ingaphambili (ukuba ufuna ukubona umphumo wokugqibela, kukho izikrini ekupheleni kweli nqaku).
"Itshizi enyibilikisiweyo"?
Ukuba ubukela iividiyo, uya kuqaphela ukuba uMarouane Bembli uhlala ephindaphinda ibinzana elithi "itshizi enyibilikisiweyo" ukubonisa indlela yesizukulwana sesibini seMitsubishi Eclipse.Eli xesha loyilo lwemoto ngeminyaka yee-1990s lathiywa igama lezinto ezingqukuva kunye neendawo ezigudileyo, ezintle ezibonisa ngayo, ngokungathi kukho ukuchaswa kwee-creases okanye imigca ethe tye. Sinokuthi ibiyimpendulo (ibabaxiweyo noko) kugqithiso lwemigca ethe tye kunye nezikwere okanye izinto ezixande ezabuyela emva kwiminyaka yama-70s kwaye yachaza imifuziselo emininzi.
Ewe, igama elithi “itshizi elinyibilikisiweyo” linenxalenye yokunyelisa. Kude kude negama lokuqala loyilo lwebhayoloji (olungazange luchaphazele nje uyilo lwemoto, luphembelele imilo yezinto ezininzi ezingakumbi) eyaphenjelelwa yindalo yendalo kunye nethambileyo, iimilo zendalo eziyiqambayo.
Nangona kunjalo, kukho iimeko ezininzi apho abaqulunqi babonakala behambe kakhulu ekugudiseni imigca, kunye neemodeli ezithile zibonakala ngathi zinqongopheleyo (i-skeleton), i-tension ebonakalayo okanye iimilo ezichazwe kakuhle, phantse ngokungathi kufuneka "zinyibilike" njengoko zinjalo. Iqhekeza lesonka samasi esinyibilikisiweyo.
Kwaye ewe, ngaphandle kokuphumelela abalandeli abaninzi ngenkangeleko yangoku kunye nenomtsalane, isizukulwana sesibini seMitsubishi Eclipse silingana njengeglovu kolu luhlu.
Yintoni etshintshileyo?
Oko kwathiwa, uMarouane Bembli ekuqulunqweni kwakhe ngokutsha wayefuna ukugcina inxalenye yesazisi "esinyibilikileyo" esiphawula le coupé, ngexesha elifanayo ukuzisa kwimihla yethu. Uyilwe ngokutsha ngokunzulu umphambili nasemva wongeza izinto ezibonwayo ezithe kratya ezinceda ukuseka uyilo lwe-coupe yaseJapan.
Siyabona ngasemva kwebar entsha yokukhanya kwe-LED etshintshiweyo, ngokumangalisayo, ukusuka kwi-optics ye-Lexus IS ehlaziyiweyo - leyo engezi eYurophu. Ngelixa ngaphambili, i-optics ekrazukileyo kunye ne-elliptical inika indlela kwizinto ezintsha ze-angular, kunye nenxalenye esezantsi emnyama, ebonisa isisombululo esifanayo ngasemva.
Ii-bumpers nazo zifumene inkcazo, kunye nemiphetho eyahlula ngokucacileyo ngakumbi imiphezulu eyahlukeneyo eyimpawu yazo, inika ubungangamsha obungakumbi kwimigca ethe tye. Kwakhona kugxininiswe ngasemva ziindawo zokukhuphela ezinkulu ezijikeleze i-diffuser entsha.
Kananjalo ukusuka kwicala unokubona utshintsho olukhawulezileyo phakathi komphezulu, ngakumbi ezo zichaza i-mudguards, inika le Mitsubishi Eclipse eyenziwe ngokutsha amagxa achazwe ngcono anezihlunu ezininzi. Uphawu lugxininiswe kubukho bamavili aneerimu ezinkulu kunye namavili eprofayili amancinci, isisombululo sexesha langoku kunye nokunika i-coupé yaseJapan ehlaziyiweyo "isimo" esingcono kunesokuqala.
Qaphela ukungabikho kwegrille yangaphambili, njengakwimodeli yokuqala, kunye nomoya ofikelela kuphela kwi-injini kwaye kuphela ngokungena komoya osezantsi. Inika i-Eclipse eyenziwe ngokutsha ubuso obucoceke kakhulu kwaye ngokungafaniyo nento eninzi esiyibonayo kule mihla - iphantse yavakala ngathi… mbane.
Kukuzilolonga nje kwesitayile, ngaphandle koqhagamshelo kwiMitsubishi okanye kwihlabathi lokwenyani. Kodwa ucinga ntoni?
