Masiqale ekuqaleni. Ibali lale ngcamango yaqala kwakudala ngaphambi kokuba icingelwe - kwaye mhlawumbi uyayazi eli bali ngentliziyo kunye ne-sauté.
Ngeminyaka yoo-1960, uHenry Ford II, umzukulwana womseki weFord, wazama ukufumana iFerrari, isindululo esakhatywa ngokukhawuleza nguEnzo Ferrari. Ibali lihamba ukuba iMelika yayingonwabanga "ngokukhanyela" kwe-Italian. Impendulo ayizange ilinde.
Ukubuyela e-US kwaye nangoku oku kuphoxeka kubambekile emqaleni wakhe, uHenry Ford II wabona kwiiyure ezingama-24 zeLe Mans lelona thuba lifanelekileyo lokuziphindezela. Ngoko waya emsebenzini waza waphuhlisa i-Ford GT40, imodeli enenjongo enye: ukubetha iimoto zezemidlalo zikaMaranello. Isiphumo? Yayifika, ibona kwaye iphumelela… amaxesha amane alandelelanayo, phakathi kuka-1966 no-1969.
Phantse kumashumi amathathu eminyaka kamva, iFord yayifuna ukukhumbula impumelelo eLe Mans kunye ngaloo ndlela yazalwa iFord GT90 . Yatyhilwa ngo-1995 kwiDetroit Motor Show, le yeyeyona prototypes ibalaseleyo ngalo lonke ixesha. Ngoba? Akukho kusilela kwezizathu.
Ulwimi loyilo lwe "New Edge" olutsha
Ngokweemeko zobuhle, i-GT90 yayiluhlobo oluthile lwabalandeli bomoya kwi-GT40 apho amanqaku aphefumlelweyo e-aviation yongezwa - ngakumbi ngakumbi kwiinqwelomoya zomkhosi ezingabonakaliyo kwi-radar (i-stealth), eyenzeka ukuba ayinanto yakwenza nayo.
Njenge, i-carbon fiber bodywork ithathe iimilo zejometri kunye nee-angular , ulwimi loyilo olubizwa ngokuba yi "New Edge". I-Ford GT90 nayo yahlala kwi-chassis ye-aluminiyam ye-honeycomb, kwaye iyonke inobunzima be-1451 kg.
Enye yeenkcukacha ezikhangayo eyona ngqalelo ngokungathandabuzekiyo yayiyi-design ye-triangular ye-exhaust outlets ezine (ngasentla). Ngokutsho kwe-brand, amaqondo okushisa okukhupha ayephezulu kakhulu ubushushu obuphuma kwi-exhaust banele ukukhubaza iipaneli zomzimba . Isisombululo sale ngxaki yayikukubeka iipleyiti zeceramic ezifana nezo rocket zeNASA.
Njengangaphandle, iimilo zejometri nazo zandiswe kwi-cabin, elawulwa yi-shades eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Nabani na ongene kwi-Ford GT90 iqinisekisa ukuba ikhululekile kunokuba ikhangeleka, kwaye ngokungafaniyo nezinye iisupersports, ukungena nokuphuma kwisithuthi kwakulula kakhulu. Sifuna ukukholelwa...
Ubuxhakaxhaka kunye nokusebenza: amanani aye achukumisa
Ngaphantsi kwabo bonke obu buchule, asifumananga nto ingaphantsi kwe-injini ye-V12 ene-6.0 l kwindawo yangasemva, exhotyiswe ngee-turbos ezine ze-Garrett kwaye zidibene ne-gearbox ye-5-speed manual.
Le block ikwazile ukwenza I-730 hp yamandla aphezulu kwi-6600 rpm kunye ne-895 Nm ye-torque kwi-4750 rpm . Ngaphandle kwe-injini, i-Ford GT90 yabelana ngamacandelo kunye nomnye umatshini wamaphupha ukusuka kwi-90s, i-Jaguar XJ220 (ngo-1995 i-brand yaseBritani yayilawulwa yi-Ford).
Xa isendleleni - okanye mhlawumbi isendleleni - iFord GT90 ithathe i-3.1s encinci ye-0-100 km/h. Nangona iFord ibhengeze isantya esiphezulu esisemthethweni se-379 km/h, abanye bathi imoto yezemidlalo yaseMelika yayikwazi ukufikelela kwi-400 km / h.
Ngoko kutheni ingazange iveliswe?
Ngexesha lokubonisa i-GT90 eDetroit, i-Ford ivakalise injongo yayo yokuqalisa uluhlu olulinganiselwe kwiiyunithi ezili-100 zemoto yezemidlalo, kodwa kamva yacinga ukuba le nto ayizange ibe yinjongo ephambili, nangona uninzi lwamaphephandaba lwaluchukumisekile kukuziphatha kwayo endleleni.UJeremy Clarkson ngokwakhe wayenethuba lokuvavanya i-Ford GT90 kwi-Top Gear kwi-1995 (kwividiyo engezantsi), kwaye ngelo xesha wachaza ukuvakalelwa ngokuthi "izulu ngokwenene liyindawo emhlabeni". Kuthiwe konke akunjalo?
Uyilo loMda oMtsha
Ulwimi lwe-"New Edge Design" olwaziswa yi-Ford GT90 lwaphela luyi-kick-off kwezinye iimodeli ze-brand kwi-90s kunye ne-2000, njenge-Ka, i-Cougar, i-Focus okanye i-Puma.
Ihlabathi alizange lifumane, ngelo xesha, umntu oza kungena ezihlangwini zeFord GT40 yasentsomini, kodwa layifumana le nto… ewe!
