U-Aston Martin ubuyile e-Nürburgring futhi ngemva “kokuzingela” inguqulo ye-sporter ye-Vantage - engase ibizwe nge-Vantage RS - manje sesithole ukuthi yiziphi izithembiso ezizoba enye yezinhlobo ezisebenza kahle kakhulu ze-SUV yomkhiqizo, i- I-Aston Martin DBX Hybrid.
Uma uthi nhla, ibukeka njenge-DBX evamile, kodwa isitikha sebhampa ephuzi siyaqinisekisa ukuthi iyimoto eyihybrid. Kodwa izithombe ezihlukahlukene zalesi sibonelo sokuhlola esisebenza kumzila wenganekwane waseJalimane zisivumela ukuthi sibone ukuthi uhlangothi olulodwa kuphela (kwesokudla) olunembobo yokunikezela.
Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, singacabanga ukuthi inguqulo yokuqala kagesi ye-SUV yezemidlalo ye-Gaydon brand izoba yi-hybrid elula, okungukuthi, izoba nesistimu ye-48 V emnene.
Kodwa-ke, yonke into ikhomba ukuthi u-Aston Martin uzophinde ethule inguqulo ye-plug-in hybrid - esekelwe kuMercedes-AMG twin-turbo V8 - yeSUV yayo yezemidlalo esikhathini esizayo (amahlebezi akhomba ku-2023), ukuze aqhudelane namamodeli afana ne IPorsche Cayenne E-Hybrid noma iBentley Bentayga Hybrid.
Kuyiqiniso, okwamanje, ukuthi lesi sibonelo sokuhlola asethuli noma yikuphi ukuguqulwa kobuhle okusihlukanisa nabanye “abafowethu” abaphakelwa kuphela ngenjini evuthayo. Ngakho-ke izinguquko kule nguqulo zisebenza kumakhenikha kuphela.
Noma kunjalo, abathwebuli bezithombe bethu ababekwithrekhi lapho “babambe” khona lesi sibonelo lapho kuhlolwa bathi umsindo wenjini wawuhlukile kowe-DBX evamile, nayo eyayihlolwa eNürburgring, okufakazela nje umqondo wokuthi Indawo ye-4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 singakwazi ukuba ne-3.0 litre twin-turbo six-cylinder in-line Mercedes-AMG, efana naleyo etholakala kwi-AMG 53.
Kusesele kithi ukuthi siqhubeke nokulandela ukuthuthukiswa kwale DBX Hybrid eduze, ezokwethulwa ngu-Aston Martin ngonyaka ozayo.
