Hōʻike ʻo Aston Martin Rapid 2011

ʻAʻole paha ʻoe i kamaʻāina i ka inoa Fritz Chernega. ʻOiaʻiʻo, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e noho ma Graz, Austria, he hōʻiliʻili inoa ʻole ia o nā leka 14 i ka honua. Akā ʻo Mr. Cherneg ka inoa ma lalo o ka puʻupuʻu o ka Aston Martin Rapide ma Perth, e hoʻomau ana i ka moʻomeheu o Aston no ka inoa ʻana i ka mea hana mīkini. No laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke kelepona iā ia a hele pupule inā hewa kekahi mea.

Akā, ua haki ka Rapide me ka moʻomeheu Aston ma kekahi ʻano koʻikoʻi: ʻaʻole i hana ʻia ma ʻEnelani, e like me kona mau kūpuna, akā ma Graz, no laila ua kaulana koke ʻo Mr. Cherneg.

Ua lawe ka lima o ka poʻe kaʻaahi i kona inoa ma ke kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi ʻo Benedictine o New Norcia, 120km mai Perth a me 13,246km mai Graz, i ka wā i wehe ʻia ai ka Rapide mua o Australia ma ke kuaʻāina ʻo Wakinekona.

Ke kino a me ka helehelena

ʻO ia ke kaʻa ʻehā puka mua o Aston ma kahi o ʻehā mau makahiki, a aia nā mea āpau āu e manaʻo ai mai kahi Aston, akā me kahi hoʻolālā ʻokoʻa. ʻO ka poʻe i kukuli nā kuli i ka ʻike ʻana i kahi Aston Martin e like me ka makemake me ka Rapide. 

ʻO ka mea kupanaha loa a me ka manaʻo ʻole ʻia ʻo ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā puka ʻehā i loko o nā pou hope maʻamau a nani hoʻi, nā ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao a me ka laina kumu. He ʻāpana hana maikaʻi loa ia, a i ka nānā mua ʻana e huikau paha me kahi Vantage a i ʻole DB9 ʻelua-puka coupe. Ke alakaʻi nei ka styling i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana me ka Porsche Panamera, ʻo ia ka ʻaoʻao ma ka ʻaoʻao e nānā fussy, clunky a kaumaha mai ka ʻaoʻao hope ʻekolu-hāhā kihi.

ʻO Aston ka mea mua o nā mea aesthetics. ʻO Porsche ka pahuhopu. Hoʻohana ʻo Porsche i nā ʻano lapaʻau i kāna huahana. Aneane hoʻokiʻekiʻe kona pilina me kahi mea kūʻai, i hopu ʻia i ka makahiki 1970 i ka wā i waiho ai ʻo ia i kāna mau makahiki 911 - he palette kala maikaʻi ʻole mai ka pēpē poop brown a hiki i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo Kermit a i ka ʻalani māmā. Ma hope mai, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka Cayenne SUV.

ʻAʻole kaʻana like ʻo Aston Martin i ka manaʻo o kāna mea hoʻokūkū. I ka hoʻohālikelikeʻana, he hui kūʻokoʻa liʻiliʻi loa kēia. ʻIke maikaʻi ka ʻoihana ʻo ka pilikia e pili ana i ka hoʻokele ʻana i ke ala liʻiliʻi i ka hoʻolālā kaʻa hiki ke hōʻole iā ia.

No laila, e like me Jennifer Hawkins, ʻo kāna mau hiʻohiʻona kāna laki. No kēia kumu, ʻo ka cone ihu a me ka ihu o ka turret ʻo DB9. ʻO ke kia C-pou a me nā poʻohiwi e kau ana ma luna o nā kaʻa hope 295mm Bridgestone Potenza mai ka mea hoʻolālā DB9. He lōʻihi ke poʻi kumu, e hana ana i puʻu e like me ka Panamera, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ʻike maopopo ʻia kona ʻūwī i ka wā i pani ʻia ai ka ʻīhu ihu.

He mea maʻalahi ke ʻōlelo ʻo ka Rapide he DB9 kikoʻī. ʻAʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, aia ia ma luna o kahi kahua hou e pili ana i 250mm ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka DB9, nona ka hana alumini extruded like a me kekahi mau mea hoʻokuʻu.

Kalaiaina a me nā mea hoʻonani

Akā e hele ma hope o ka huila a ke kali nei ka Aston DB9 iā ʻoe ma mua. Aia ma luna o ke kikowaena o ke kāʻei ka pihi koho hoʻouna ʻeono wikiwiki. Ua maʻa ka mea hoʻololi liʻiliʻi e like me nā ana a me ka console.

Huli a hoʻi hou ke keʻena mua. ʻO nā noho he mau bākeke niho hohonu, ʻoiai ua māhele ʻia ke kua i ka hapalua e pelu i lalo e hoʻonui i ka wahi kāmaʻa haʻahaʻa.

Puhi ka ʻoluʻolu waena ma waena o nā noho mua, e hana ana i nā puka makani kaʻawale no nā mea holo hope. Loaʻa i ka poʻe ma hope ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka ea a me nā mana leo no kahi ʻōnaehana leo 1000-watt Bang a me Olufsen Beosound, nā kīʻaha kīʻaha, kahi keʻena waihona kikowaena hohonu, a me nā mea nānā DVD me nā poʻo uila i kau ʻia ma nā poʻo o ka noho mua.

ʻO ka mea nui, loaʻa iā lākou kahi noho. ʻAʻole hōʻike pololei ke ʻano o ka Rapide i ke keʻena poʻo i loaʻa no kahi kaʻahele 1.8m, a ʻoiai ʻo ka lumi wāwae e pili ana i ka makemake o ka poʻe kaʻa noho mua, ʻo ka poʻe kiʻekiʻe wale nō ke manaʻo i ka paʻakikī. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole paha ʻo ka hōʻoluʻolu o nā noho hope ke kumu nui no nā mea nona.

Ke kaʻa

He kaʻa hoʻokele kēia. Paheʻe ke kī aniani e kū ana ma ka pani puka i loko o kahi pahu ma ka ʻoluʻolu waena, ma lalo pono o nā pihi hoʻololi. Paʻi ikaika ʻoe, a aia kahi hoʻomaha, me he mea lā ke kānalua nei ka mea alakaʻi ma mua o ka paʻi ʻana i ka pahu, a pahū ka orkestra me ka leo piha.

He 12 mau piston huhū e paheʻe i loko o 12 mau pahu honed, a hoʻopuka kā lākou gig i 350kW a me 600Nm o ka torque a me ka nui o ka booming, staccato bass. Koho ʻoe i ke pihi D no ka neʻe ʻana, a i ʻole ʻoe e huki i ke kumu ʻākau ma ka huila.

A, ʻoiai ke kaupaona ʻana ma kahi o ʻelua mau tona, ua wikiwiki ka Rapide i 100 km/h i loko o ʻelima mau kekona hanohano ma lalo o ka leo o nā kinoea pau. ʻAʻole ia e like me ka wikiwiki o ka DB9 4.8 kekona, a ke hōʻike nei nā kikoʻī ʻoiai lākou e kaʻana like i ka mana a me ka torque, ʻo ka 190kg keu o ka Rapide e hōʻemi i kona wikiwiki ma ka hoʻopā wale ʻana. He nani ka hāʻawi mana, piha i ka walaʻau a me ka torque. Ke koli nei nā koila kiʻekiʻe a me ka tachometer i nā ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, no laila ʻaʻole maʻalahi ke nānā aku i kahi pūʻulu o nā ana a hoʻomaopopo i nā mea e hana nei ma lalo o ka puʻu. ʻO kēia hui pū ʻana o ka walaʻau ʻenekini a me ka exhaust ka mea e kuhikuhi ai i ka mea hoʻokele.

Akā ʻaʻole ʻo ka ʻenekini wale nō. ʻO ka pahu pahu he mea maʻalahi ʻeono-wikiwiki, ʻaʻohe mea hoʻokele lima lima ʻole e ʻoki i ka mana me ka maʻalahi a me ka wikiwiki.

Kaumaha maikaʻi ka hoʻokele, no laila e hāʻawi i ka manaʻo a me nā contours a me nā puʻupuʻu āpau o ke alanui i nā manamana lima o ka mea hoʻokele, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka ʻike hoʻokele.

A he nui nā kaʻa, paʻa i ka hoʻopā akā pane. ʻAʻole lōʻihi ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kēia ma ke ʻano he kaʻa hōʻike ʻehā mau noho ʻehā. Ua like ia me kahi coupe noho ʻelua.

ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke koena, kahaha ka holo ʻana, a ma waho aʻe o ke kani ʻana o nā kaʻa i loko o ka ʻōpala, ua mālie loa. ʻO ke kamaʻilio ʻana me nā poʻe kaʻa hope ʻaʻole maʻalahi loa, ʻoiai me ka wikiwiki o ke alanui i ʻae ʻia.

Ma kahi e ʻā ana ma ke alanui ākea, aia kekahi mau wahi pōwehiwehi ma ke kūlanakauhale. He kaʻa lōʻihi a haʻahaʻa, no laila pono ke hoʻomanawanui a me ke akamai. Nui ka pōʻai huli, no laila ʻaʻole maʻalahi ke kaʻa.

E noho me ia. No kahi kaʻa i huki i ka ʻakaʻaka a me ka hoʻohenehene i ka wā i hōʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano he manaʻo, hōʻike ka Rapide e hiki i nā kaʻa maʻamau ke loaʻa kahi wahi, a hiki i nā mea hana maʻamau ke lanakila i ka ʻōwili o nā dice.
