Njengawo uqobo, i-Hennessey Performance ayikwazanga ukugubha uKhisimusi ngendlela “ye-petrolhead”: Isihlahla sikaKhisimusi singashesha kangakanani? Njengoba ingakwazi ukuzihambela yodwa, okuwukuphela kwekhambi lesihlahla sikaKhisimusi kungaba ukugibela imoto. Futhi umshini okhethiwe awukwazanga ukuba waseMelika ngaphezu kwemoto yemisipha ye-Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
Imininingwane yemoto yemisipha enamandla yesibili eyake yaba khona - eyokuqala igxile kakhulu futhi inonya Dodge Challenger Demon — ayikwazanga ukubekela obala. Le feline infernal - igama elithi Hellcat alinakuxaka uma kubhekwa isikhathi samaholidi esiphila kuso - ifakwe i-V8 Supercharged enkulu, enamandla amalitha angu-6.2, eletha amandla angu-717 "reindeer" kanye ne-torque engu-880 Nm.
Isivinini esisemthethweni esimenyezelwe ngenguqulo entsha ye-"widebody" ye-Challenger Hellcat ngu-313 km/h - ububanzi ngo-8.9 cm, sivumele ukugqokisa i-Challenger ngamasondo abanzi adingeka kakhulu ukuze kuzuze ukudonsa. Kodwa ngezinsimbi zophahla, kanye nesihlahla sikaKhisimusi esinamathiselwe kuzo, singathinta kanjani isivinini esiphezulu?
Ngalo mzamo “werekhodi”, i-Hennessey Performance ivikele izinsiza zethrekhi yokuhlola ye-Continental e-Texas, ene-oval engu-14 km ubude - elungele isivinini esiphezulu.
Ngesihlahla sikaKhisimusi, kulokhu isihlahla sikaphayini, esinamathele ngokuqinile ophahleni lweHellcat, umshayeli wendiza wayekwazi ukuthatha “imoto enemisipha” ifinyelele kumakhilomitha angu-174 ngehora, noma i-280 km/h.
Futhi isihlahla, ngokusobala, sasiphelele, ngemva kokubhekana nokufuduka komoya okulingana nesiphepho sesigaba 5, ngokungafani nalesi esisophahleni lweBMW M3 E30 “eyasishulwa” ngokuphelele.
Mhlawumbe ngonyaka ozayo singabona isihlahla sikaKhisimusi “sihamba ngezinyawo” sisuka ku-Hennessey Venom F5, okuthi ngokusho kwalabo abanomthwalo wemfanelo, sizodlula umgoqo wamamayela angu-300 ngehora, noma u-484 km/h.
Amaholide Ajabulisayo!
