I-Lotus encane manje isine-“Chinese giant” Geely njengabanikazi bamasheya bayo abaningi. Futhi uma kucatshangelwa ukuvela kweVolvo ngemuva kokutholwa yiGeely, okulindelwe ngekusasa leLotus kusanda kukhuphuka.
Uhlobo lwemoto yezemidlalo yaseBrithani ludume ngokuphishekela amaphawundi angadingekile kanye nokuguquguquka kwereferensi kwemikhiqizo yalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinsizakalo zeLotus bezidingeka kakhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwe-chassis, umakhenikha ngisho nezimoto zabanye abakhiqizi.
Okunye okubonakalayo, okufana nezinkomba ze-Lotus Cortina noma i-Lotus Omega, noma kamuva nje i-Tesla Roadster. Abanye ngendlela ecashile, lapho ngezinye izikhathi "ukuphathwa nge-" Lotus okuhlakaniphile kwengezwe encazelweni yamamodeli. Futhi abanye ngisho, lapho sathola khona ngemva kweminyaka eminingi ukuthi uLotus wayehilelekile.
Izibonelo zokungenelela okuyigugu kweLotus zingatholakala kumamodeli angaziwa njenge-Isuzu Piazza, noma aziwa kangcono njengeToyota MR-2 yesizukulwane sokuqala. Uhlu luqhubeka ne-DeLorean DMC-12 (efana ne-Back to the Future triology), i-Nissan GT-R (R34) enamandla kakhulu, noma i-hot-hatch yomzali i-Proton Satria GTI.
Volvo futhi Lotus
Ukuzungeza isiyingi futhi, iVolvo isivele iphendukele kuLotus ukuze ithole usizo, namaNgisi esebenzisana ekumisweni kweVolvo 480 nokuthuthukiswa kwe-dynamics. Futhi namuhla sineLotus neVolvo ngaphansi kophahla olulodwa!
U-Roger Wallgren, obhekele ukuthuthukiswa okuguquguqukayo kwe-Volvo XC60 entsha, ezitatimendeni ze-Australian public publication Drive, usewushiyile umnyango uvulekele ochwepheshe be-Lotus.
URoger Wallgren, Umholi Wethimba Lezimoto DynamicsKungani kungenjalo? Angiyiboni inkinga ngokusebenzisa ulwazi lwabo. Ngicabanga ukuthi ulwazi lwabo lungasetshenziswa kunoma yisiphi isimo. Kudingeka sibe nengxoxo - singakwazi ukushintshanisa ulwazi nabo futhi ngokuphambene nalokho.
Nakuba kusesekuseni kakhulu ukukhombisa izinhlelo ezithile lapho kudingeka khona onjiniyela be-Lotus, u-Wallgren ubalule isifiso se-Geely sazo zonke izinhlobo zayo, okuhlanganisa i-Polestar, uhlobo lokusebenza lwe-Volvo.
URoger Wallgren, Umholi Wethimba Lezimoto DynamicsI-Polestar iwuphawu oluzosetshenziswa kakhulu - ngeke siluvumele luhlale lungenzi lutho. Ngokushesha noma kamuva bazobona okuthile.
Niyabona ukuthi sifuna ukuyaphi? Akekho ongabaza ikhono lePolestar. Sisanda kuthola ukuthi iVolvo ifihle irekhodi elise-Nürburgring nge-S60 Polestar. Kodwa ukuba ne-Lotus eqenjini kuphakamisa amandla nokulindelwe nakakhulu.
Ingabe sizokwazi ukubona iVolvo, noma ikakhulukazi, i-Polestar, eminyakeni ezayo, imatasa kakhulu empini yokuphakamisa "ama-saloon aphezulu" noma ngisho nama-SUV asebenza kahle kakhulu? Noma ubone iVolvo inothisa umlando wayo omude kuma-coupes ngemodeli ethuthukiswe ngokubambisana neLotus? Ukuphupha akubizi. Futhi ngemali yakwaGeely ibiza kancane.
