Bekunezikhathi lapho ukuya emkhathini kwakumele ube ngoweNASA noma ohlelweni lwasemkhathini lweSoviet Union. Ngaleso sikhathi, imoto yosonkanyezi baseMelika kwakuyi-Corvette—asazi ukuthi amaSoviet ayezoshayela yiphi imoto, kodwa sicabanga ukuthi mhlawumbe kwakuyinto efana neLada.
Izikhathi ziyashintsha. Namuhla usomajukujuku akadingi ukuba ngowe-NASA ukuze aye emkhathini, njengoba iCorvette ithathelwe indawo… iRange Rover, kodwa lena ayinikezwa. Konke ngoba iLand Rover, ngenxa yobudlelwano beminyaka emihlanu enabo nenkampani iVirgin Galactic (okuthi ngama-euro ayizinkulungwane ezingama-280 ithatha noma ngubani emkhathini), idale I-Range Rover Astronaut Edition.
Idalwe uphiko lwe-SVO, lokhu ngokukhethekile I-Range Rover ingathengwa kuphela yinoma ubani osevele wangena emkhathini nge-Virgin Galactic. Ipakishwe ngemininingwane ekhethekile njengomdwebo ogqugquzelwe ukuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kwesibhakabhaka sasebusuku, izibambo zeminyango ye-aluminium nama-coaster enziwe ngezingxenye zemikhumbi esetshenziswa ohambweni lwe-Virgin Galactic.
Mayelana nezinjini, iRange Rover Astronaut Edition ekhethekile iphuma ne 5.0 l 525 hp V8 noma kunguqulo ye-plug-in hybrid I-P400e ye-404 hp.
Mayelana "Nesiqalo Esibandayo". Kusukela ngoMsombuluko kuya kuLwesihlanu e-Razão Automóvel, kune-“Cold Start” ngo-8:30 ekuseni. Ngenkathi uphuza ikhofi lakho noma uqunga isibindi sokuqala usuku, hlala unolwazi lwakamuva ngamaqiniso athakazelisayo, amaqiniso omlando namavidiyo abalulekile avela emhlabeni wezimoto. Konke ngamagama angaphansi kwama-200.
