Ua kūʻai ʻia ʻo Ford Falcon GT hope loa
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ford e hoʻokumu ʻia ka GT-F ma ka mana palena R-Spec o ka Falcon GT.
Ua kūʻai aku ʻo FORD i nā 500 o ka Falcon GT hou loa ma mua o ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka mea mua, a ke noi nei nā mea kūʻai aku a me nā mea kūʻai hoihoi.
ʻO nā 500 Falcon GT-F sedans (no ka "hope" version) i koho ʻia no Australia ua kūʻai nui ʻia i nā mea kūʻai aku a ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kaʻa i loaʻa nā inoa mea kūʻai aku.
ʻOiai ke kūkulu nei ʻo Ford i 50 GT-Fs a me 120 Pursuits no New Zealand, ʻōlelo ka poʻe kūʻai aku ʻaʻole i kūkulu ʻo Ford i nā sedans GT i lawa a ua noi lākou e pālua i kēlā helu.
Akā, ʻōlelo ʻo Ford ʻaʻole e loaʻa hou aku no ka mea ua kaupalena ʻia e ka nui o nā ʻenekini V8 supercharged hiki iā ia ke hoʻohui lima ma kahi kahua hoʻolauleʻa manawa ma kahi kokoke i ka laina ʻeono-cylinder Geelong.
"Ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa loa ʻo Ford iā ia," wahi a kekahi mea kūʻai aku, nāna i noi ʻaʻole e hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia no ka mea e pili ana ia i kāna hoʻolaha ʻana i nā kaʻa. "He manawa nui i hala ʻole kēia. ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo maopopo ʻo Ford i ka mākeke hoihoi. "
I ka wehe ʻana o Ford i kahi paʻi kūikawā Falcon GT "Cobra" ma 2007 Bathurst 1000 - e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka 30th anniversary o Allan Moffat a me Colin Bond's 1-2 pau - ua kūʻai nui ʻia nā kaʻa 400 āpau i nā mea kūʻai aku i loko o 48 mau hola.
"ʻAʻole lākou i aʻo i kekahi mea mai ka ʻike," wahi a kekahi mea kūʻai Ford, nāna i noi ʻaʻole e kapa ʻia. “Ua kūʻai lilo ʻia nā Cobras i ka ʻōpō o ka maka, ʻaʻole lākou ka hope. ʻO kēia Falcon GT ka mea hope loa, ʻo ka mea liʻiliʻi loa i hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi i nā poʻe hou aʻe i ka manawa e kūʻai ai i kaʻa.
Manaʻo nā mea kūʻai aku e kūʻai aku ana nā Falcon GT-F a pau no ke kumukūʻai kūʻai i manaʻo ʻia he $77,990 me nā lilo huakaʻi. "ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia mākou e uku hou aku iā lākou, akā kūʻai ʻia lākou a pau ma ke kumu kūʻai piha," wahi a kekahi mea kūʻai Ford. "ʻAʻole lākou e lawe i hoʻokahi kālā mai kēia mau kaʻa no ka mea e kūʻai mai kekahi." Ke hopohopo nei nā mea kūʻai aku i kā lākou ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻole kūpono ʻo Ford i ka manual a me ka hoʻouna maʻalahi.
Hōʻike ʻia ka GT-F he 62% maʻamau a me 38% manual, akā ʻōlelo nā mea kūʻai Ford e hoʻololi ʻia ke kiʻi no ka mea makemake nā mea kūʻai hoihoi i ka lawe lima.
No kāna ʻāpana, ʻōlelo ʻo Ford i ka wā o ke ola ʻana o ka Falcon GT hou, ʻo ka lawe lima lima i helu ʻia he 26% wale nō o nā kūʻai. "Ua hala nā manual a pau," wahi a kekahi mea kūʻai Ford. "Inā makemake ʻoe i kēia manawa, pono ʻoe e kiʻi i kahi pū mīkini a ʻaʻole koho i ke kala."
Eia nō naʻe, kūʻē i ka manaʻo mai nā mea kūʻai aku, ua haʻi aku ʻo Ford Australia iā Carsguide aia ka manawa e hoʻonui ai i nā koho hoʻoili lima ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hana i loko o nā mahina ʻelua e hiki mai ana.
ʻElima kala e loaʻa, me ʻelua wale nō i ka GT-F - ʻulaʻula uliuli a me ka hina hina. A e hele mai nā kaʻa a pau me kahi hoʻonohonoho kūikawā.
ʻAʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻo Ford i nā kiʻi a i ʻole nā kikoʻī o ka Falcon GT-F; pono e waiho i ka mahina o Iune. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo GT-F e lawe i ka hōʻailona 351, e hōʻike ana i kāna huahana kilowatt, a me kahi nod i ka nui o ka V8 i ka 1970s Falcon GT-HO.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ford e hoʻokumu ʻia ka GT-F i ka mana palena ʻole R-Spec o ka Falcon GT i hoʻokuʻu ʻia he 18 mau mahina i hala, ma mua o ka pani ʻana o Ford Performance Vehicles i kona mau puka a lawe ʻo Ford Australia i ka iwi o ka hana, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hui kauoha. o na enekini. .
Manaʻo ʻia ʻo GT-F ka Falcon GT wikiwiki loa i kūkulu ʻia. Mahalo i kahi 5.0-lita V8 nui loa a me nā huila hope ākea e kōkua iā ia e wehe i ke ala me ka hoʻokele "hoʻomaka" kaʻa heihei, pono ia e holo mai ka 0 a 100 km/h i 4.5 kekona.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka 351kW Falcon GT-F, e hoʻolauna ʻia ka 335kW Ford XR8 me ka laina Falcon hōʻano hou mai Kepakemapa 2014 a hiki i ka papa inoa kaʻa kahiko loa o Australia i ka hopena o ka laina ma mua o ʻOkakopa 2016.
E like me ka mea i hōʻike mua ʻia, ua haʻi ʻia ʻo Carsguide aia nā hoʻolālā huna e hana i ka mana mana o Falcon GT hou loa ma luna o ka 351kW peak i pau ai.
Ua ʻōlelo nā kumu hūnā i ka Ford Performance Vehicles i kēia manawa i lawe ʻia i ka 430kW o ka mana mai kahi supercharged V8 i ka wā e hoʻomohala ʻia ana, akā ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Ford i kēlā mau hoʻolālā ma muli o nā hopohopo hilinaʻi - a me nā mana o ka chassis, gearbox, driveshaft a me Falcon differential. e hana me ka ohumu nui.
"Ua loaʻa iā mākou he 430kW o ka mana ma mua o ka ʻike ʻana o kekahi he 430kW ka HSV ma ka laina. hou GTS", - wahi a ka mea i loko. "Akā i ka hopena, ua lohi ʻo Ford. Hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa ka mana me ka maʻalahi, akā manaʻo lākou ʻaʻole kūpono ke kālā ke hana i nā hoʻololi āpau i ke koena o ke kaʻa e mālama ai. "
Ma kona ʻano i kēia manawa, ua paʻi ka Falcon GT i ka 375kW i kahi "overboost" a hiki i 20 kekona, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā Ford ke koi i kēlā helu no ka mea ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokō i nā alakaʻi hoʻokolohua honua.
