KTM X-Bow GT: ʻoi aku ka mana a me nā hoʻololi no ka hoʻohana alanui

Maikaʻi wau i kēlā lā, akā i ke kakahiaka aʻe ua ala au me kahi ʻeha pupule i koʻu ʻāʻī. He kūpono iaʻu. I kēlā me kēia manawa ke nīnau mai ka mea hoʻokele KTM ʻo Reinhard Kofler iaʻu inā ua maikaʻi nā mea āpau, ke kuhi nei i kona manamana nui mai kahi noho o ka mea hoʻokele. X-Kakaka 380 HP Racing RR me nā kikoʻī "Battle" Ua ʻōlelo wau ʻae, e kono ana paha iā ia e hoʻonui i ka wikiwiki. No laila, ua hōʻea mākou ma mua o ka puka ʻana o nā lua, i hele pololei ʻia no ka ʻumi ʻumi o ka manawa, e hana ana, inā ʻaʻole au i nalowale i ka helu, ʻo ia ka 54th o ka pōʻai Catalunya, e kāʻei ana i nā poʻe holo mālie e hele ana. mākaukau no ka heihei. ʻo ka mea aʻe ʻo ka "X-Bow Battle" a KTM.

ʻAʻole wau makemake i ka pōʻaiapuni kaʻahele, akā i kēia manawa loaʻa iā ia nā mea āpau aʻu e makemake ai: kahi kaapuni maikaʻi, kahi hoʻokele maikaʻi loa (i ka hoʻomaka o kāna ʻoihana, ua makaʻu ʻo Kofler e like me Lewis Hamilton) a me ka helehelena koʻikoʻi loa. kahi kaʻa i waiho i ka mana alanui iā mākou me nā ʻike wale o kāna DNA heihei kupaianaha. Eia hou, aia kekahi nā pākū paheʻe, nui 'ino aerodynamics, ʻaneʻane 3g holomua holomua. A ʻeha koʻu ʻāʻī ʻāʻī.

He aha ka ʻokoʻa i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i ko EVO hui mua ʻana me kahi kaikamahine liʻiliʻi mai Graz ma 2008! I kēlā manawa, nui nā mea i manaʻo ʻia nona no ka mea ʻo ia wale nō ke kaʻa. haʻuki mea hana paikikala Austrian loa KTM me he mea lā aia i nā mea āpau āu e pono ai. Oluʻolu mōlina-monocoque in ʻona F3 kaila hiwahiwa mea i hoʻohiki ka nui rigidity a me ka palekana, hui ʻia me kahi hilinaʻi loa (a ʻoluʻolu) 2.0 TFSI a ʻO ka wikiwiki kumu kumu ʻeono Audi... Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kāna hana ʻana ma ka helu o nā launa pū ʻana me ʻO Dallara, me nā loea hiwahiwa Wethje a me ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoponopono ace ace ʻO Loris Bicocchi (āna i hana ai ʻO Bugatti, Pagani e Koenigsegg). Me he mea lā ʻaʻole i lawa, ua loaʻa i ke kaʻa hou kahi ʻano spatial mahalo i kāna mea hoʻolālā ʻo Gerald Kiske. Ua hana kēia huahana o ka ʻenehana malihini i 200kg o ka downforce ma 200km/h ʻoiai ke kino minion. ʻO kāna kumu hoʻonaʻauao ka mea i hoʻoikaika ʻia i ka kaʻa - a hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia ʻo wai ka mea hana - akā ʻo nā mea āpau e pili ana i ka X-Bow me he mea lā ke alakaʻi i ka ʻoi aku. ʻO ka mea hope loa, he malihini kona helehelena e like me ka hanu ʻana, a ʻo ke ʻano o ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā kihi he nui, nā kihi, nā papahele, nā welds a me nā hoʻokuʻu ʻia i loko o kahi ʻano pahu pahu hoʻokahi i hāʻawi iā ia i kahi manaʻo supercar.

I kēlā manawa, ʻaʻohe o ʻAnona ʻAno a me au i ke ʻano e kalaiwa i ka mua X-Kakaka mai nā wahi a pau o UK a lawe iā ia i Wales ma kā mākou mau ala punahele e hālāwai me ia i ke kaila. EVO... Me ia, ua hōʻike ʻia ka mea holo i nā mea e like me ka mokokaikala: ʻaʻohe aniani e pale aku iā ʻoe mai ka lewa, he ʻāpana o ke kala kala i mua. I kēia mau kūlana haipaleʻoiai inā ua hoʻonele iā ʻoe i nā ʻano manaʻo he nui. Akā pono ʻoe e ʻaʻā inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i ka naʻau intuitive a kēia kaʻa i hoʻokau ai iā ʻoe me ka hoʻohoka ʻole.

I kēlā manawa, ua hoʻololi mākou kekahi i kekahi ma ka huila o ka X-Bow i kēlā me kēia 150 km, no ka mea ʻaʻole makemake kekahi o mākou e hāʻawi i ka mea ʻē aʻe i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻokele iā ia i Wales. ʻO ka mea hoihoi, me ka ʻole o ka pāpale mahiole, manaʻo ka X-Bow me he ʻoluʻolu a hoʻomaha hoʻi e kalaiwa e like me ka BMW M3 i hele pū me mākou i kēia huakaʻi. ʻOiai me ke kaʻa kumu 241 hp (akā, ʻoi aku ka ikaika o kā mākou kaʻa) a ma 860kg, hiki i ka X-Bow pololei ke hoʻomau i ka BMW 420hp. a hoʻokomo i loko o nā pōʻai i ka wikiwiki a mākou i moeʻuhane ai. A ʻo ka nani ʻo ia i hana ʻia me ka manaʻo hoʻohiwahiwa—ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻohilahila—ka pololei a me ka pono.

Ma nā ala paʻakikī o Wale, ua ʻoi aku kāna hoʻokō i nā mea hou aʻe. Mālama pū ia me nā mea hoʻokūkū Caterham R500, Atom 300 a me Lotus 2-Eleven, me ke mahalo pū i ke kali a me kahi chassis kūikawā, akā hōʻole ʻo ia e haumia kona mau lima a lilo i mea kupaianaha a leʻaleʻa e like me ka makemake o kekahi e kūʻai i kēlā kaʻa. Ma ka maʻalahi, he mea kupaianaha ka X-Bow, ʻoiaʻiʻo, akā i nā kūlana o kāna papa, ua mālie loa ia. A kēia ke kumukuai ʻAʻole kōkua ke kiʻekiʻe.

He pilikia hoihoi. Ma laila KTM ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hana hou i ka papahana. A no ke aha e hana ʻia ai kēia i ka wā i maopopo ai ka nui o ka hiki ke paʻi i loko a me ka nui o nā ikaika e paʻi ai? ʻO nā hoʻololi evolutionary o nā makahiki ʻelima i hala iho nei ua lawe i ka X-Bow i ʻelua ʻaoʻao: ʻoi aku ka ʻoi loa o ka mua, me ka 300-horsepower R a me kona kaikuahine heihei, ʻo ka RR. ʻO kekahi ma laila X-Bow GT, ka hopena o nā hoʻololi a me nā hoʻomaikaʻi i hoʻolālā ʻia e hana i ke ala hele X-Bow ʻoluʻolu, nani a hoʻoholo. No kēia kekahū (hoʻomehana a lako pono nā holoi), kahi hale lole hiki ke hoʻoneʻe ʻia i hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i nā wikiwiki a i 130 km / h (inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake, hiki iā ʻoe ke pelu iā ia i lalo a paheʻe i loko o ka lumi o nā poʻe) a me kahi ʻūlū ukana i hoʻopili ʻia i ka uhi engine. ʻO ke kumukūʻai, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole haʻahaʻa loa: ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana iā 86.275 € me ka waiho ʻana i nā koho.

Ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ka helehelena: aia i kēia manawa kahi uhi ʻenekini maʻalahi, Fari loaʻa iā lākou ka bezel lahilahi a hoʻomaikaʻi hou ʻia nā panela pāpale e hāʻawi i ka hopena mua i kahi hiʻohiʻona haʻahaʻa a ʻoi loa o ka hakakā ma mua o ka wā ma mua. Hoʻonani iki ka aniani i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kaʻa heihei a mākou e loaʻa ai ma ka R, akā ʻaʻole. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hilinaʻi, he supercar wale nō e ʻaihue i ka X-Bow GT e pili ana i ka leʻaleʻa.

MA 'pailaka, kaupalena ʻia nā hoʻololi hōʻoluʻolu waenama hea kahi lumi no kekahi mau pihi hou aku. No laila ke wehe ʻoe i ka ʻaoʻao o ka ʻaoʻao, kahi e hana ai ma ke ʻano he puka a hoʻoikaika ʻia e ka strut gas, hele ʻoe ma luna o ke kiʻikuhi a noho ma luna. Recaro (ʻo ka hapanui i hana ʻia e kahi pāpale padded i hoʻopili ʻia i ke kiʻi) aia ʻoe i kahi ʻano kamaʻāina. Kolamu hoʻokele hoʻoneʻe a papa hehi wāwaealaila huila hoʻokele piha i nā pihi a hemo a papa uila kikohoʻe he huila ke nānā aku e like me ka mea i puka mai i waho o kahi kaʻa heihei e hana i ka lewa kūpono.

La GT Hoʻolako ʻia me kahi mana i hoʻololi iki ʻia o ka ʻenekini 2 liter liter turbocharged, i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma ke kikowaena a me ke kūlana transverse, me ka mana i hoʻemi ʻia i 285 hp. a hoʻonui i ka ikehu o 420 Nm no ka hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi ʻana. Hiki iā ia ke kī mai X-Kakaka i 100 km / h ma kahi o 4 kekona (4,1 e kikoʻī), a e hoʻopā iā lākou i 160 i hoʻokahi hola ma lalo o 10. Panehoʻoholomua - akā naʻe me kahi lag liʻiliʻi ma muli o ka turbo lag - a ʻo ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka mana linear e ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka throttle ma mua o ka mea i manaʻo ʻia, akā ʻo ka wikiwiki o ka X-Bow GT e ʻeha ai ma nā pihi o nā alanui Sepania e piʻi ai i ka Montseny Massif. KTM ua koho ʻo ia ma ke ala hoʻāʻo (me he mea lā ʻO Carlos Sainz hoʻohana i kēia mau alanui no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana), ʻo ia ka hōʻike maikaʻi loa o kona akamai maikaʻi loa. ʻO ke kani ʻana o ka ʻenekini 4-cylinder e ʻuhū nui ana i nā revs, me kahi memo huhū i hoʻonui ʻia e ka ʻūhā haʻuki, ʻo ia ka hau i ka keke a, inā hiki, hāʻawi i ka KTM X-Bow i ʻoi aku ka nani a me ke ʻano. No laila, mahalo i ka makani makani, ka ho'ēmi haunaele aia kekahi mea o ka hana mana i loko o ka pailaka. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka 911 Convertible a i ʻole Mercedes SL. ʻO ka mea, i hui pū ʻia me ka manaʻo o ka pilina ʻoi aku me ka honua waho a me ka ea hou i ka maka, hāpai koke i ke ʻano.

ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka leʻaleʻa i ke KTM, ke kaʻa analogue e like me kēia. hōʻano ʻolokaʻa ʻO ka wikiwiki ʻeono wikiwiki wikiwiki, eia hoʻokele mālama ʻole ʻia, mana loa ʻO Brembo me ka ʻole o ABSalaila ʻokoʻa pā paʻaloko e ʻaʻohe mana traction.

La X-Bow GT ʻaʻohe manawa no nā manaʻo e hoʻolilo iā ʻoe e ola i ka moʻolelo Caterham a me Atom, akā hiki koke ke loli. KTM ke hana nei ma kahi X-Bow i hana ʻia e ka ʻenekini ʻelima mau paukū ʻelima. mai ka Audi RS2.5. I ke kakali ʻana i ka Super X-Bow, e leʻaleʻa kāua i kēia, kahi, me ka pīhoihoi a me ka adrenaline ma ke ala, e ʻae iā ʻoe e kalaiwa mai Calais a Cannes a puka hou e like me ka pua rose. ʻAʻole wale iā ia kahi hiʻohiʻona o kahi Transformer, akā ʻo kahi ʻano pālua hoʻi e hoʻololi nei. Hooray.
