ʻO ka ʻohi kaʻa he mea lapuwale: no ke aha ʻoe e hōʻiliʻili ai i nā mile, ʻaʻole waiwai, me kāu kaʻa | Manaʻo

ʻO ka 2017 HSV GTSR W1 ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻokele kaʻa o Australia, akā liʻiliʻi nā hiʻohiʻona i loaʻa nā mile mile nui.

I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua laki au i ka hele ʻana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka HSV GTSR W1 ma Phillip Island.

ʻO ia ke kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻoihana kaʻa kaʻa o Australia - ʻo ke kaʻa hana wikiwiki a ikaika loa i kūkulu ʻia ma ia ʻāina. He manawa ia o ka lanakila a me ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana no ka HSV, a i ʻole ka liʻiliʻi loa.

Ke hoʻokele nei i kekahi o nā prototypes W1 a kali i kona manawa e paʻi i ke ala, ua hilinaʻi kekahi o nā ʻenekini alakaʻi o ka HSV ma ka puka makani me ka nānā haʻaheo a me ka ʻeha ma kona mau maka.

"ʻO ia ka mea i kūkulu ʻia ai lākou," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, e pili ana i nā lap kiʻekiʻe a puni ke ala. A laila, kaniʻuhū a'ōlelo houʻo ia, "Akā, e pau lākou i loko o nā hale kaʻa."

Ua pololei ʻo ia, ʻoiaʻiʻo e kūʻai ka poʻe i ka W1 no kona koʻikoʻi mōʻaukala, ʻaʻole wale no kāna mau hiʻohiʻona. ʻOiaʻiʻo, he mau makahiki wale nō ma hope mai, ke hoʻololi nei kēia mau HSV hope loa no nā kālā nui.

I ka wā hou, kūʻai ka HSV i $169,990 (me nā lilo huakaʻi) no ka W1, a ke kūʻai aku nei lākou i ʻekolu manawa o ke kumu kūʻai. ʻO ka nānā ʻana i nā hoʻolaha i kēia pule i hōʻike ʻia he ʻelima W1 no ke kūʻai aku. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka mea liʻiliʻi loa no $495,000 a ʻo ka mea pipiʻi loa i hoʻolaha ʻia no $630,000. 

Hoʻihoʻi maikaʻi i ka hoʻopukapuka kālā i loko o ʻehā makahiki wale nō.

Inā ʻaʻole ia he hoʻopukapuka, he kaʻa. ʻO nā kaʻa i hana ʻia no ka hoʻokele ʻana, leʻaleʻa, a heck, a kiki pū.

ʻAʻole i hoʻopilikia ʻo HSV i ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi paʻi liʻiliʻi o ka Chevrolet LS9 supercharged 6.2-lita V8 no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka W1 i loko o kāu hale kaʻa. ʻAʻole hoʻi i hoʻohui nā mea ʻenekinia i nā haʻalulu mai ka V8 Supercar a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea hoʻolako kaʻa kaʻa lōʻihi Bridgestone a me Continental no Pirelli i ko lākou manaʻo e kōkua i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kumukūʻai ma 2021.

ʻAʻole, ua hana ʻo HSV i kēia mau mea e hoʻolilo i ka W1 i ke kaʻa kaʻa ʻoi loa i hana ʻia. Pono ʻo ia e alakaʻi ʻia, ʻaʻole huna. 

Ua holo kēia $630 W1 i 27 km i nā makahiki ʻehā i hala. ʻO kēia ka mea e uwē ai ka poʻe ʻenekinia HSV i ka manaʻo o ka pau ʻana o kā lākou hana. ʻO kahi ʻenekini Corvette, nā haʻalulu heihei a me nā kaila paʻa e hoʻomau iā ʻoe.

ʻO ka mea hoʻonāukiuki loa, ʻaʻole pono ʻo HSV e kūkulu iā W1. Ua hana mua ka hui i kahi prototype GTSR me kahi pahu kino kū hoʻokahi akā ʻo ka powertrain like me ka GTS i loaʻa, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi a me ka maʻalahi o ka hana ʻana ma mua o ka W1. 

ʻO kēia mau kaʻa i kēia manawa ʻelua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nui (no laila ʻaʻole kānalua kekahi o nā HSV hope loa i kahi kūʻai kālā), akā hoʻohui hou ia i ka huhū o ke koko, ka hou, a me nā waimaka o ka HSV i hoʻokahe ʻia ma ka W1 e hoʻopau ʻia e ka lehulehu. nā mea nona.

ʻIke loa, ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia kēia i ka HSV wale nō. He mea leʻaleʻa ka ʻohi kaʻa no ka poʻe waiwai mai ka wā i hana ʻia ai ke kaʻa. Eia naʻe, i kēia mau lā, ua lilo ia i mea noʻeau e kekahi, ʻo nā ʻohi a me nā hui kaʻa.

Nui nā hōʻailona e hoʻohana i nā paʻi kūikawā a me nā hana maʻamau e hoʻowalewale i nā mea kūʻai waiwai e makemake ana e hoʻopiha i kā lākou hale kūʻai me nā mea kūʻai aku no ke kūʻai aku. ʻO Lamborghini paha ka haku o kēia ʻano ʻoihana, hana pinepine i nā kaʻa ma lalo o 10 mau kaʻa e hōʻoia ai e lilo lākou i mea ʻohi koke, akā ʻike maopopo ʻaʻole lākou e ʻike i ka asphalt ma lalo o kā lākou mau kaila.

Malia paha ʻo ka laʻana maikaʻi loa o nā hōʻiliʻili o kēia wā ʻo ka McLaren F1, i kūʻai ʻia aku nei ma nā kūʻai kūʻai ma Pebble Beach no $20.46 miliona ($27.8 miliona). Ua hana ʻia kēia kaʻa e ka mea hoʻolālā kaʻao Formula 27 ʻo Gordon Murray e lilo i kaʻa kaʻa kūpono - māmā, ikaika a me kahi kūlana hoʻokele waena. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hoʻolālā e mālama ʻia i loko o kahi hōʻiliʻili no nā makahiki he nui, e like me kēia kaʻa he $26 miliona. I nā makahiki 391, ua uhi ʻo ia i 15 km, ʻo ia ka awelika o XNUMX km wale nō i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

Manaʻo paha kekahi he mea hoʻolimalima lōʻihi kēia no ka mea ua kūʻai ʻia ke kaʻa hou ma kahi o $1 miliona. Manaʻo wau he mea makehewa. Ua like ia me ka laka ʻana i ka manu i loko o ka hīnaʻi a ʻaʻole ia e hohola i kona mau ʻēheu a lele.

ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene, ʻo nā kaʻa kūikawā e like me McLaren F1 a me HSV GTSR W1 e piʻi i ka waiwai. ʻO Mr. Bean hōkū ʻo Rowan Atkinson i hoʻokuʻi kaulana i kāna McLaren ʻaʻole i hoʻokahi manawa, akā ʻelua mau manawa, a ke kūʻai aku nei ia no $12.2 miliona ʻeono makahiki i hala. He lanakila-lanakila; ʻAʻole wale ʻo ia i hoʻihoʻi paʻa i kāna hoʻopukapuka kālā, akā ua hoʻokele maopopo ʻo ia i ka McLaren me ka makemake, e like me ka mea e pono ai.

Laki au i ka komo ʻana i ka ʻāpana Porsche Tour Targa Tasmania ma mua o kēia makahiki a ua hauʻoli ka ʻike ʻana i kekahi mau Porsches hiki ke hōʻiliʻili (911 GT3 Touring, 911 GT2 RS, 911 GT3 RS etc.) i ka hau ma ke alanui. lepo no nā lā ʻelima ma ke alanui. 

ʻOiai ua lilo nā kaʻa i mea hoʻopukapuka, e like me ke kiʻi, ʻaʻole kūʻai ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i ke kiʻi a laila hūnā iā ia i loko o ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, ma kahi e ʻike ai kekahi. E lanakila ana ka hana noʻeau ma mua.

Ua like ia me nā kaʻa: inā ʻoe e hūnā iā lākou, ua lanakila ia i ke kumu o kā lākou hana ʻana. Hana ʻia nā kaʻa no ka hoʻokele ʻana, pono lākou e haumia, ʻōpala a helu i nā mile ma ka odometer. ʻO ka hūnā ʻana iā lākou i loko o kāu hale kaʻa no kou manaʻo e lilo lākou i mea waiwai i loko o kekahi mau makahiki a i ʻole nā ​​makahiki he mau makahiki e hoʻopau i nā makahiki maikaʻi loa o ke ola o ke kaʻa.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki i kāu kaʻa ke hōʻiliʻili i ka waiwai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka hale kaʻa, akā pono ʻoe e hōʻiliʻili i nā mile a me nā hoʻomanaʻo i kāu kaʻa.
