THE McLaren Elva - eqanjwe ngo-Elva owenza izinguqulo zamakhasimende zomjaho wakwaMcLarens kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-60s - usekulungele kangcono "ukuhlasela" izinselelo zempilo yansuku zonke, njengoba uhlobo lwaseBrithani lusanda kwethula okuhlukile kwe-roadster yayo enezitobhi.
Ekucushweni okumsulwa, “nobuso emoyeni”, esesivele saba nethuba lokuyihlola emigwaqweni nasemigwaqweni ye-Principality yaseMonaco, i-Elva iwumgwaqo olula kunayo yonke iMcLaren eyake yaba khona. Futhi futhi enye yama-radicals kakhulu.
Kodwa-ke, futhi naphezu kokuthuthuke kancane, lokhu kuhluka kwe-windshield akukude ngemuva: hhayi ngobuningi noma ngobudlova. Okuningi "okunomshayeli-friendly", le nguqulo ingu-1330 kg kuphela, kuphela i-30 kg ngaphezu kwe-"brother" ngaphandle kwe-windshield.
Uhlelo lwe-AAMS? Akusadingeki...
Ukwanda kwesisindo sayo akusabalulekile futhi kuchazwa yiqiniso lokuthi lokhu okuhlukile okusha kwe-Elva akudingi i-AAMS eyinkimbinkimbi (Active Air Management System), omsebenzi wayo ukuphambukisa umoya ku-cockpit kanye nabagibeli bayo futhi qinisekisa ibhalansi ye-aerodynamic yemoto.
UMike Flewitt, i-CEO yakwaMcLarenAyinaphahla futhi ayinafasitela, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhetha inguqulo engenawindi yomoya kanye nobuchwepheshe be-AAMS obuyindida obudala umgoqo ongabonakali noma iwindshield nenguqulo evaliwe, lena i-roadster eklomelisa abanikazi ngolwazi lokushayela oluphelele. ejabulisayo ngaphandle, ilethwe njengekheni le-McLaren kuphela.
UMcLaren akaqinisekisi ukuthi ukusebenza kuthintekile yini ngokwethulwa kwalesi siphephelo somoya, kodwa kusikisela ukuthi kwakungenjalo, ekhumbula ukuthi amarekhodi alezi zinguqulo ezimbili asondele kulokho uMcLaren Senna akwenzayo.
Khumbula ukuthi inguqulo engenawindi ye-Elva ithatha amakhilomitha angu-2.8 kuphela ukufika ku-100 km/h kanti angu-6.8s anele ukudlula u-200 km/h.
I-"blame" isenjinini eyi-Twin-turbo V8 - etholakala enjinini yeSenna - engu-4.0 litres ekhiqiza amandla angu-815 hp kanye ne-torque engu-800 Nm. “Ukuphatha” konke lokhu ingu-seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission ethumela i-torque emasondweni angemuva kuphela.
okukhethekile
Ngemva kokumenyezelwa ngamayunithi angu-399 futhi ngonyaka odlule uMcLaren wehlisa lesi sibalo saba amakhophi angu-249 kuphela, ukukhiqizwa kwe-Elva kusanda “kuncishiswa”.
Ngokusho kohlobo oluzinze e-Woking, e-UK, "akukho amakhophi angaphezu kuka-149 e-Elva azo-odwa azokwakhiwa". Ukwehliswa okukhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nenjongo yokuqala, evunyelwa imiphumela yezezimali ebangelwe ubhubhane kumakhi.
Iyunithi ngayinye manje eyi-149 izoba nenani lokungena lama-euro ayizigidi eziyi-1.7. Futhi lokhu kungaphambi kwanoma yiziphi izicelo zokwenza ngokwezifiso kuMcLaren Special Operations (MSO)…
