Inkampani yaseBrithani yethula iMcLaren 650S Spider embukisweni wezimoto iGeneva Motor Show kanti kudingeke ukuthi siye khona siyozibonela. Uma uzithatha njengovithamini 12C, uzoba nezimpikiswano ezidingekayo ukuze ubhekane nebhentshimakhi yeFerrari 458?
Sonke besilindele ukubona i-McLaren 650S entsha e-Geneva, kodwa ebesingakulindele kwakuwukwazi inguqulo yayo ye-Spider. Njenge-Coupé, i-650S Spider ayilutho ngaphandle kwe-12C eye yenziwa i-rhinoplasty, ukuze ibonakale isondela ku-phenomenal Mclaren P1. Masikhulume kahle, kuwumsebenzi wokunciphisa umzimba ukukhuluma nge-650S njengokugeza ubuso nje kwe-Mclaren 12C, lapho i-650S iveza umsebenzi wemininingwane ephakeme kunenguqulo evamile.
Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, iMcLaren 650S ikweleta igama layo emandleni alethwe yi-3.8-litre V8, ngamanye amazwi, 650hp. Ingu-25hp ngaphezu kwe-12C, kodwa i-torque ye-650S ne-650S Spider icishe ibe ngu-78Nm ukuphakama, ihlezi ku-678Nm ebalulekile. Futhi ibuyekezwe ngendlela eguquguqukayo, nokulungiswa okusha kokumiswa, ithembisa ulwazi lokushayela olucebile, oluheha kakhulu futhi olujabulisayo, kokubili emgwaqeni naseseketheni.
Leli phuzu lokugcina lalingaphansi kwentuthuko yale modeli, ifuna ukuqinisa ukuxhumana nomshini womuntu, ukuhlangabezana nokugxeka okuningi okuvezwe ku-12C, umshini osebenza kahle kakhulu, kodwa ngandlela-thile umtholampilo, ngaphandle kokuzuza ngempela "wow" isici seFerrari 458 Italy noma i-458 Speciale entsha.
Ngenhlanhla, imoto super sports akukhona nje mayelana ukusebenza nokusebenza kahle ashukumisayo. Amandla okuheha nokukhanga kumugqa womzimba ngamunye wemoto yalolu hlobo kufanele acatshangelwe. Futhi uMcLaren ukwazi kahle lokhu.
Ngakho-ke, ekuguquleni i-12C ibe ngu-650S, uhlobo lwaseBrithani lwabona cishe zonke izici zemoto zibuyekezwa noma zenziwe kahle. Enjinini, amakhanda amasilinda namapiston ashintshiwe futhi isofthiwe entsha yokuphatha yaqala ukusetshenziswa. Ama-shift ku-7-speed dual-clutch transmission manje ayashesha, athuthukisa ukusheshisa. Mayelana ne-suspension, ama-springs aqinile ngo-22%, ngaphambili nangemuva.
Ama-shock absorbers nawo athola ukwesekwa okusha, ngakho-ke ukulawulwa okungcono kokunyakaza komzimba kulindeleke. Kodwa-ke, uMcLaren uqinisekisa ukuthi inkomba yokunethezeka yokushayela ye-12C ayilahlekanga, mhlawumbe isici esiyingqayizivele emhlabeni wezemidlalo ephezulu.
Umsebenzi wokuthuthukisa wenziwa nasekusetshenzisweni kwamabhuleki, endleleni i-ESP ne-ABS engenela ngayo nasekusebenzeni kwe-aerodynamics esebenzayo. Lokhu kokugcina akuvumeli kuphela ukupholisa okusebenzayo kwenhliziyo ye-650S ezimeni ezimbi kakhulu, futhi kuqinisekisa ukuzinza okukhulu kwe-aerodynamic lapho ubhuleka noma ushintsha indlela. Isilinganiso esiphezulu se-downforce cishe siphezulu ngo-40% kune-12C, futhi uMcLaren uqinisekisa ibhalansi enkulu ye-aerodynamic phakathi kwangaphambili nangemuva.
Kulabo abangase babe ngamakhasimende e-650S ne-650S Spider, bazothola nemoto enothe ngemishini ejwayelekile. Isuka emasondweni enziwe ngomgunyathi ehambisana namathayi amasha ePirelli P Zero Corsa, iLED front Optics, carbon-ceramic brake discs, ingaphakathi lase-Alcantara kanye ne-Iris system osekunesikhathi ilindelwe, ebuyekezwe ngokuphelele.
I-McLaren 650S Spider ngokwemvelo yengeza ithuba lokuhamba izinwele zakho emoyeni. Futhi njenge-12C Spyder, izuza amaphawundi ambalwa phezu kwe-coupe. Kukhona ngaphezu kuka-40kg we-ballast (ingqikithi engu-1370kg eyomile) ikakhulukazi ngenxa yomshini wokusebenza kwe-metallic hood, njengoba ukuqinisa kwesakhiwo kwakhishwa, kanye ne-MonoCell ekhethekile ku-carbon fiber ebonakala iqinile kakhulu.
Amakhonsathi ahlaba umxhwele! Imizuzwana emi-3 nje ukusuka ku-0 iye ku-100km/h, kanti ibanga lika-200km/h lifinyelelwa ngemizuzwana engu-8.6. I-650S Coupé yehlisa u-0-200km/h ngemizuzwana engu-0.2, futhi ikhangisa imizuzwana engu-25.4 ukuze ifinyelele ku-300km/h. Kodwa i-650S ayigcini lapho, iqhubeka nokusheshisa ize ifike ku-333km/h! Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iMclaren 650S Spider, “kuphela” ku-328km/h. Ingaphezu kokwanele izinwele zezinwele ezeqisayo, uma sizama ukufinyelela ku-328km/h phezulu kuhoxisiwe.
Ingabe kuyokwanela ukudiliza i-Ferrari 458 futhi ikakhulukazi i-458 Speciale kusukela esihlalweni sobukhosi semidlalo emikhulu?
Landela i-Geneva Motor Show nge-Ledger Automobile futhi uhlale unolwazi ngakho konke ukwethulwa nezindaba. Sishiyele ukuphawula kwakho lapha nasezinkundleni zokuxhumana.
