U-Ken Block, umqhubi owaziwayo waseMntla Melika, ususa enye yezona ndalo zibalaseleyo ezakha zadlula kwigaraji yakhe, i-Ford F-150 eguqulwe ngokupheleleyo ka-1977 kwaye ihambisa ngaphezu kwe-900 hp yamandla.
Ebizwa ngokuba yiHoonitruck, le ndalo imbi kakhulu yayiyeyona nto iphambili yeBlock's Gymkhana 10 kunye nesahluko sesibini seClimbkhana, kunye nentaba yaseTianmen, eTshayina, njengendawo yangasemva.
Iyilwe phantse ukusuka ekuqaleni, ine-chassis ye-aluminium ye-tubular kwaye ukusuka kwimodeli yasekuqaleni igcina umphambili kuphela. Amanqaku aphambili abandakanya i-spoiler yangasemva, efakwe kwicala elingasemva lebhokisi, ii-arches zamavili ezandisiweyo kunye nomsebenzi wepeyinti okhethekileyo.
Kwisahluko somatshini, kwaye ukongeza kwi-adjustable suspension that in the lowest position ishiya le pick-up phantse "glued" kwi asphalt, i-3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost injini ebonakala phantsi kwe-hood ivelele.
Iyilwe yiFord Performance, le bhloko ye-aluminiyam ifumene ii-turbos ezimbini ezinkulu kunye ne-intake manifold entsha eyenziwe kusetyenziswa itekhnoloji yoshicilelo ye-3D. Isiphumo sayo yonke le nto? I-923 hp yamandla kunye ne-951 Nm ye-torque ephezulu.
Ukulawula yonke le "firepower" yibhokisi yegiya elandelelanayo enobudlelwane beSadev emithandathu ethumela i-torque kwii-axles ezimbini.
Ingaba ibiza malini?
Nabani na ofuna ukuya ekhaya le Hoonitruck inomtsalane kuya kufuneka akhuphe i-1.1 yezigidi zeedola, into efana ne-907 800 ye-euro.
Lithamsanqa elincinci, kodwa iqashiso lisabandakanya inani lamalungu okutshintsha, njengamalungu omzimba ahlukeneyo, iseti epheleleyo yamavili, iziqhoboshi ezintsha kunye nokumiswa okutsha. Ukongeza kuko konke oku, injini eyongezelelweyo ye-V6 EcoBoost, xa enye iqala ukubonisa iimpawu "zokudinwa".
Ukuthengiswa kulawulwa yi-LBI Limited, esanda kuthengisa ezinye iimoto ezimbini kumqhubi waseCalifornia: i-1986 Ford RS200 kunye ne-2013 Ford Fiesta ST RX43.
Into yokuba uKen Bock ephumile kubudlelwane bakwaFord kulo nyaka emva komtshato othathe iminyaka engaphezulu kwe-10 inokunceda ukucacisa lo mnqweno wequbuliso wokuthengisa “amaqabane” akhe angamavili amane.
