ʻO Aston Martin B8 2011 Nānā
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kahi mana o ka Vantage, ke kaʻa haʻuki ʻōpio o Aston Martin, me kahi ʻenekini V12 ma lalo o ka puʻupuʻu, a ʻoiai ua hoʻāʻo pōkole wale wau, hiki iaʻu ke haʻi aku iā ʻoe he 380kW i loko o kahi kaʻa hatchback hiki ke hoʻoweliweli. Hele mai ia me ka lawe lima ʻaʻole kūpono i nā mea āpau a ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai ma mua o ka Virage.
He $104,000 ʻoi aku ma mua o ka mana ʻenekini V8. ʻO ka Vantage S, e like me ka Virage, aia ma kahi hauʻoli ma waena o nā mea ʻelua o kēia kaʻa. A e like me ka Virage, ʻo ke kaʻa hou ka mea maikaʻi loa i ka lineup.
KEKAHIKI
Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ka V8 maʻamau, ʻo ia ka $16,000 ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi, loaʻa ka S i ka nui o nā hoʻonui hana. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka ʻenekini e hāʻawi i ka mana a me ka torque hou aʻe, e koi ana i ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe a hiki i 305 mph, a ʻo ka pahu pahu ʻehiku ka wikiwiki o ka autoshifting mana o ka lopako a Aston me ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana. Ua hoʻonohonoho hou ʻia i mea e maʻalahi ai ka hoʻokele kaʻa ʻana ma ka wehe ʻana i ka hiʻohiʻona "crawl" mua.
Aia kekahi hoʻokele wikiwiki, nā kaʻa nui me nā calipers ʻeono-piston i mua, kahi ala hope ākea, nā pūnāwai hou a me nā dampers, a me kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻomalu paʻa uila.
Aia ka waho i nā puka makani mesh, kahi bodykit carbon fiber (me ka splitter mua a me ka diffuser hope), nā ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao a me kahi lehelehe hope i ʻōlelo ʻia.
Ua hoʻololi ʻia nā hoʻololi e ka mana hoʻokūkū GT4 a ʻo ka hopena he puʻupuʻu koʻikoʻi akā noʻonoʻo. ʻO ke kaʻa aʻu i holo ai he mau noho māmā a, kūʻē i ka manaʻo, ua ʻoluʻolu lākou i ka lā a pau.
HUAKAI
Akā ʻaʻole kēia kaʻa he huakaʻi nui. ʻO ka humuhumu maʻemaʻe a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe o loko ka veneer ma luna o kahi kaʻa haʻuki ʻeke e like me nā mea āpau ma kēia pae. ʻAʻole e ʻae ʻo Vantage S iā ʻoe e poina iā ʻoe ke hoʻokele.
Kaulike a makaala ka chassis, a pololei ka hookele me ka manao nui. Ua kaupaona maikaʻi ʻia ka throttle a me nā kaʻa, a uku ke kaʻa i ka pololei a me ka ʻenehana, e like me ka braking laina pololei.
Ma ke ʻano he bonus, hoʻohauʻoli ka ʻenekini i nā pepeiao ʻoiai ke ʻano o ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i loko, inā ʻo ia ka accelerating, kahakai a i ʻole ka wikiwiki. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ia ma mua o kahi mele kani. Lawe kēia Vantage S i ka wikiwiki, ʻoi loa ke neʻe. Huli ʻulaʻula ka hōʻailona o ke kaʻaahi ma 7500 rpm e hōʻike iā ʻoe e piʻi i luna. Pono ʻoe e hahai i kēia.
ʻAʻole kūlike nā manual robots no nā mīkini hoʻololi torque kuʻuna ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana, ʻaʻole kēia he ʻokoʻa. Aia ka puʻupuʻu o ka loli a me ke kani mai lalo. Ma ke ʻano ʻakomi, e kunou ʻoe i kēlā me kēia manawa e piʻi ai ʻoe.
ʻIke ʻia ka haʻalulu ma ka holo ʻana, aia ma ka ʻaoʻao o kahi kaʻa haʻuki palupalu. Akā ʻo ka hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o ke kaʻa, ʻo ia ka leo nui o ke kaʻa e hoʻopilikia i ka hapa nui o ka manawa. ʻAʻole ʻo ka soundproofing kahi koho aftermarket, no laila e hoʻololi ʻia ka Bridgestone Potenza.
A, ʻaʻole like me ka Virage, hana ikaika ka Vantage S me ka clunky kahiko Aston sat-nav a me kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻomalu e pili ana i ka kipi i kā mākou hihia hoʻāʻo.
No laila e hui pū i kāu papa inoa alanui a e hoʻolālā i kahi huakaʻi i Bob Jane, no ka mea, inā ʻaʻole pono ka Vantage S ma ka papa kūʻai kūʻai o kekahi e noʻonoʻo ana i kahi Porsche 911.
