UJohn Hennessey ungumMelika othanda ukubekela inselele amandla afakiwe. BMW M6? Mercedes SL AMG? Kuyena izimoto “zasekhaya” kakhulu… uyazithanda izilwane ezifutha igesi!
UHennessey yinkampani encane elungiselela izimoto ethanda ukucasula imboni yezimoto. U-Bugatti wethula u-Veyron wathi “Voilá! Lena imoto eshesha kakhulu emhlabeni”, uHenessey wethula iVenon wathi “Bugatti, ngicela UNGQONGE IMBONDLO YAMI!” – Ungabona yonke indaba lapha.
Uyabona-ke izinto enziwe ngazo lezi zinsizwa. Ukucela uJohn Hennessey, umsunguli wophawu, ukuba akalwe ngezwi noma ngesenzo kufana nokucela imikhuba yasetafuleni iViking, noma ukubhodla nokucela intethelelo.
Futhi uma ngikhuluma ngomthamo omkhulu ngikhuluma ngenjini engu-V8 eno-7000cc. Ngalesi sikhathi umuntu ojwayelekile wayepakisha amathuluzi athi “kulungile, lokhu kufanele kukwenze”. Kwa-Hennessey ifilosofi ihlukile… i-esmifran ngokuphelele! Ngakho bahamba bayothenga futhi ngaphezu kwe-V8 enkulu, bengeza ama-turbos amabili. Umphumela? Lokho kungu-1226hp ku-crankshaft, noma 1066hp esondweni! Okulingana nokuba nenjini ye-Nissan GT-R esebenza esondweni ngalinye lokushayela. Isivinini esiphezulu? Cishe ijubane lika-400km/h, kanti i-0-100km/h ifinyelele ngaphansi kwemizuzwana emi-3. 2.9 amasekhondi ukuze abe ncamashi. Phew... kunjalo!
Ngokujulile? awu 800hp! Kungaba ngcono uma bengafakanga lutho, noma bavume ukuthi iwumshini wokuziqhayisa – Oh, imoto yami idonsa kabi…! Sawubona linda oh Toni… Nginesethi ku-800hp kuphela! Noma kunjalo, awekho amazwana.
Uma sibekela eceleni, iqiniso liwukuthi i-Hennessey CTS-V VR1200 Twin-Turbo Coupé - lelo igama eliphelele lemodeli - yacatshangelwa imininingwane emincane kakhulu.
Ukuze ihambisane nomfutho wenjini – noma uzame ukuhambisana nayo, uHennessey uhlomise i-CTS-V ngamabhuleki e-ceramic, amathayi “angapheli”, kanye nezinto ezimisiwe zemidlalo. Kungezwe ama-appendages e-aerodynamic kuyo yonke indawo ukuze kukhiqizwe i-downforce et voilá. Nangu ophumelele isicoco se-coupe sezihlalo ezine esisheshayo emhlabeni.
Ngomkhawulo wani? awu 600hp! Lol...
Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi i-Hennessey izokhiqiza kuphela amayunithi ayi-12 e-CTS-V ngakho akudingeki wesabe ukuphuma. Amathuba okuthola enye yamayunithi ayi-12 mancane kunokushaya ama-Euro-Millions. Ngethemba ukuthi ukujabulele ukuhlangana nalesi silo. Silandele futhi ku-facebook - chofoza lapha.
