Kwixesha apho iimoto zithe cwaka, iChevrolet isandula ukupapasha ividiyo emfutshane — yimizuzwana engama-24 kuphela... — apho sinokuva i-Corvette Z06 elandelayo “ikhala” kubo bonke ubukhazikhazi bayo.
I-Chevrolet Corvette C8 yangoku, isizukulwana sesibhozo semodeli yaseMntla Melika, yasungulwa kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo. Ngoku, kwividiyo ekwabelwana ngayo luphawu, sinokuva isandi senguqulo yayo elandelayo ye "spicier", iCorvette Z06.
Kwaye ngokungathi le nguqulo yayingesosizathu somdla ngokwayo, kukho ingcaciso kwividiyo engenakwenzeka ukuyihoya: isandi sale "Vette" sifana kakhulu neseFerrari. Ngaba abakholwa? Ngoko ke mamela… ngokuvakalayo, kukhethwa!
"Ferrari" yaseMelika?
Into abayivayo yayiyi-Corvette Z06 elandelayo "ikhala" ukuya kuthi ga kwi-9000 rpm, isandi esikwaziyo ukuvumela nayiphi na i-petrolhead ukuba inikezele.
Esinye sezizathu ezinceda ekuchazeni eli nqaku lokukhupha i-exhaust kukwamkelwa kwe-crankshaft ecaba kwi-injini yayo ye-V8 - isisombululo esiphindaphindayo kukhuphiswano kunemifuziselo yemveliso, kodwa esinokuyifumana kwi-Ferrari V8s namhlanje, nangona i-turbocharged .
Ngaphezulu kwe-600 hp kwaye isondele kwi-9000 rpm
Kodwa oku kuyingxenye nje "yemfihlelo" yale Corvette Z06. Ibhloko yayo ye-V8 ye-atmospheric ene-5.5 ilitha yomthamo iphuma kwibhloko efanayo esetyenziswa lukhuphiswano lwe-C8.Rs.
Akukabikho manani aqinisekileyo, kodwa yonke into ibonisa ukuba iya kuhambisa ngaphezulu kwe-600 hp kwaye iya kukwazi "ukukala" ukuya kuthi ga kwi-8500-9000 rpm. NjengeCorvette esele siyayazi, nantsi i-V8 inyanyaniswa ne-double-clutch gearbox enemilinganiselo esibhozo, ifakwe kwindawo esembindini yangasemva, kwaye iya kuqhubeka nokuqhuba ngamavili angasemva.
Ngokukhetha eli qela lokuqhuba sinemoto enkulu evakala ngakumbi njengeFerrari kuneCorvette. Eyona nto isondeleyo sinokuyithelekisa esi sandi yile yeFerrari 458, yokugqibela ye-V8s ye-atmospheric kaMaranello.
Ukuthelekisa umfanekiso
Xa kujongwe utshintsho lwangaphandle, le nguqulo kulindeleke ukuba ifike ineediski zokuqhobosha ezinkulu, amatayara asebenza ngokuphezulu, iphakheji ebukhali ye-aerodynamic kunye neengoma ezibanzi, kumfanekiso ohambelana namandla kunye nokusebenza okunokwenzeka kolu guqulelo.
