ILotus encinci ngoku inendawo “yesigebenga saseTshayina” iGeely njengoyena mnini sabelo uninzi. Kwaye ngokuqwalasela ukuvela kweVolvo emva kokuba ifunyenwe yiGeely, ulindelo malunga nekamva leLotus lisanda kunyuka.
Uphawu lwemoto yaseBritani yezemidlalo idume ngokusukela iikhilogram ezingeyomfuneko kunye nokutshintsha kweemveliso zayo. Ukongeza, iinkonzo zeLotus bezifuneka kakhulu kuphuhliso lwe-chassis, oomatshini kunye nezithuthi zabanye abavelisi.
Ezinye ezibonakala ngakumbi, ezifana neLotus Cortina okanye iLotus Omega iimbekiselo, okanye kutshanje iTesla Roadster. Abanye ngendlela efihlakeleyo, apho ngamanye amaxesha "ukuphatha ngobuqili" iLotus yongezwa kwinkcazo yeemodeli. Kwaye abanye, apho safumanisa kwiminyaka kamva ukuba uLotus wayebandakanyeka.
Imizekelo yongenelelo oluxabisekileyo lweLotus inokufumaneka kwiimodeli ezingaziwayo njenge-Isuzu Piazza, okanye ezaziwa ngakumbi njengesizukulwana sokuqala iToyota MR-2. Uluhlu luyaqhubeka ne-DeLorean DMC-12 (efanayo ne-Back to the Future triology), i-Nissan GT-R (R34) enamandla onke, okanye i-hot-hatch yomzali weProton Satria GTI.
IVolvo kunye neLotus
Ukujikeleza isangqa kwakhona, iVolvo sele iphendukele kwiLotus ifuna uncedo, kunye neBhritane isebenzisana nokunqunyanyiswa kweVolvo 480 kunye nophuhliso lwe-dynamics. Kwaye namhlanje sineLotus kunye neVolvo phantsi kophahla olunye!
URoger Wallgren, ojongene nophuhliso olunamandla lwe-Volvo XC60 entsha, kwiingxelo kwi-Australian publication Drive, sele ishiye umnyango ovulekileyo kwiingcali zeLotus.
URoger Wallgren, iNkokeli yeQela leeNkokheli zeZithuthiNgoba kutheni? Andiboni ngxaki ngokusebenzisa ulwazi lwabo. Ndicinga ukuba ulwazi lwabo lunokusetyenziswa kuyo nayiphi na imeko. Kufuneka sibe nengxoxo- sinokutshintshana ngolwazi kunye nabo ngokuphambanayo.
Nangona kusesekuseni kakhulu ukubonisa izicwangciso ezithile apho kufuneka khona iinjineli zeLotus, uWallgren ukhankanye umnqweno weGeely wazo zonke iintlobo zayo, kuquka iPolestar, iVolvo's performance brand.
URoger Wallgren, iNkokeli yeQela leeNkokheli zeZithuthiI-Polestar luphawu oluza kusetyenziswa ngakumbi- asiyi kuyivumela ukuba ihlale phantsi ingenzi nto. Kungekudala okanye kamva baya kubona into ethile.
'Yabona apho sifuna ukuya khona? Akukho mntu uthandabuzayo ubuchule bePolestar. Kutshanje sifunde ukuba iVolvo yafihla irekhodi esetwe eNürburgring ngeS60 Polestar. Kodwa ukuba neLotus kwiqela kuphakamisa amandla kunye nokulindela ngakumbi.
Ngaba siya kukwazi ukubona iVolvo, okanye ngakumbi, iPolestar, kwiminyaka ezayo, isebenza ngakumbi kumlo wobungangamsha be "super saloons" okanye iiSUVs ezisebenza kakhulu? Okanye ude ubone iVolvo ityebisa imbali yayo ende kwi-coupes ngemodeli ephuhliswe ngokubambisana neLotus? Ukuphupha akubizi mali. Kwaye ngemali yeGeely ixabisa nangaphantsi.
