Morgan Plus 8: Ho'ōla hou i kahi Classic - Nā Kaʻa Haʻuki
Aloha au i ka manaʻo ma hope o kēia kaʻa a aloha au pehea i kūkulu ʻia ai. Makemake Morgan ua ʻike mua lākou he laʻana kūikawā kēia: hoʻonui ʻia a hoʻolōʻihi ʻia ka hihia kuʻuna e hūnā i nā ʻano hana o kēia ao. Eia nō naʻe, e ʻike ka hapanui o nā kānaka i kahi kaʻa maʻamau i loaʻa ʻole kahi kāne me ka paipu ma ka huila, kahi lede me ka ʻahuʻula ma kona poʻo a me kahi ʻeke pikiniki i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka hope, akā huli wale i ka ʻaila e hana halulu nā paipu hoʻopau a hoʻoikaika i ke kaʻa e pīpī i mua me kahi kihi, kahi e waiho ai nā mea āpau, nā mea pā a me nā loiloi.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole e kūʻi ke ʻano o kāna hana pupule, no ka mea ma ka liʻiliʻi V8 4.8 hūnā ma lalo o ka pāpale e ulu weliweli ana mai ka luhi ʻaoʻao. ʻO ka hoʻohuihui o kēlā ʻano ʻano me kahi motika nui loa ʻaʻole ia he mea hou Morgan: ʻO kēia mīkini ka mea hou loa i kahi laina lōʻihi Pākuʻi 8.
ʻO ka 1968 kumu, māmā loa a me kahi kino lehu hapa, i hoʻoikaika ʻia e kahi ʻenekini Rover 8 V3.5 i hōʻoia i ka hana haʻuki kūpono no ka hoʻokūkū. E like me kā Charles Morgan i ʻōlelo ai, ʻo ka mea hou Pākuʻi 8 he kaikamahine pono ia na kona makuahine. "Hoʻomaopopo iaʻu i ka nui o ka prototype Plus 8 me ka ʻenekini Buick. He kamaliʻi wau i kēlā manawa, a ʻo Maurice Owen, he ʻenehana hoʻomohala, lawe mau iaʻu i kahi prototype hele pū me ia. Weliweli loa ia! '
ʻO ka mea hoʻomākaukau no ka kukeʻana Pākuʻi 8 ua pīhoihoi ka noho ʻana o ke kaʻa i ka hana a hiki i ka 2004. I kēia manawa, ua kūʻai ʻia ʻo Buick kahiko no kahi 8-liter V4,6 Range Rover me 219 hp. ʻO ka Aero 8 me kahi papa alumini a me ka ʻenekini 2000 mau BMW i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ke mele swan o ke kaʻina, akā ʻo ia ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe.
Ua mālama ka Aero 8 i ka 50 mau makahiki o ka evolution i loko o hoʻokahi hiʻohiʻona, i hoʻolako ʻia me ka pelekane a me nā ʻāpana alumini i hoʻopili ʻia a hoʻopihapiha ʻia nā mīkini BMW, ma lalo o kahi aerodynamic a me ke kino kilika i kaila Morgan piha. Akā ʻaʻole ia i lilo i mea kūʻai aku ʻoi aku ma mua o Plus 4 a me Plus 8. ʻO ka hopena like i loaʻa i ka Aero Supersports ʻoi aku ka nani, a ʻo ia ka hope. No laila, ua hoʻoholo ka hui hoʻomohala e hoʻi i kona hanohano mua, e lawe nei i kēia hana mana o ke kinikini alumini o kēia manawa a me ka ʻenekini. BMW V8 a hūnā iā lākou ma lalo o kahi kino a māmā loa (me kona 150 kg, ʻo ka nui o ke kaupaona he 1.100 kg wale nō).
La Pākuʻi 8 he hui ʻē o ka mea kahiko a me nā mea hou. Nā kī e wehe hoʻokipa ua kahiko lākou, akā hoʻomaka ka ʻenekini i kēia ao a me kahi immobilizer. Pili a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi ka noho o ka mea hoʻokele, ua hoʻokau pū ʻia ka huila hoʻokele me ʻeke ea ma ka pae umauma a hoʻopā i ka pale makani haʻahaʻa me kou mau lima. Aia nā kelepona nui i waenakonu o kahi papa hana maʻalahi a ākea, a ma lalo o lākou he lever alumini squat. Hoʻoili akomi ʻeono-wikiwiki, koho hoihoi. Ke hoʻomaka ʻoe i ka ʻenekini, mahalo nui ka V8 nui i nā tailpipe ʻaoʻao māhoe ma kēlā ʻaoʻao a me kēia (koho) a me ka hoʻonani kūloko e ʻae ai i ke kani ʻana o ka ʻenekini me ka hale o luna.
Ke hoʻololi ʻoe i ka lawe i Drive, lilo ka leo o V8 i ʻoi aku ka mālie a me nā kaʻa lima paʻa lima e like me ka ʻīlio ma kahi kaula. Pono i kēia k modelkohu e hoʻokele mana, ʻoiai inā ma nā revs haʻahaʻa ʻaʻole ia e like me ia: me ka ʻenekini ikaika loa mai nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, kahi mea e hiki ke kāohi ʻia inā 333,6 hp. / t ʻike ʻia mai hope. ʻIke ʻole ʻole wau i ka mana piha o ka Plus 8 i koʻu haʻalele ʻana i ka hale hana, aia paha i loko o ka pepeiao o Charles Morgan. Pono wau e noho i kahi kaʻa o nā kaʻa, a, e makemake ana e hoʻohana i ka manawa kūpono wale nō i kēia neʻe mau, ua hāʻawi wau i nā revs maikaʻi, e holo ana ma nā huila o hope, ʻoiai e mele ana ka V8 me ka ikaika no ka loaʻa ʻole o ka paʻa. Avon ZZ5 ʻoiai inā pono wau e ʻōlelo ua paʻahau ka lepo i ka lepo.
I ka wā mua, he mea ʻē ka hoʻokele ʻana i ka Plus 8 ma ke ala wili. Manaʻo nā huila mua i kahi mamao a kūʻokoʻa mai kekahi i kekahi a ua maʻalahi hoʻi ka hoʻopili ʻia, kahi hemahema i loaʻa i ka Aero 8, akā ua hoʻonui ʻia ma ʻaneʻi. He hiʻohiʻona ʻike ʻole kēia, akā ma nā puʻupuʻu i waenakonu o ka huli ʻana, hiki iā ia ke hoʻohaunaele i ke koena o ke axle mua a hoʻoneʻe ke kaʻa mai ke ala. A i loko o nā puʻupuʻu ikaika loa, pilikia pū ka hope. ʻO ka pōʻino, no ka mea inā ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka Plus 8 ma kēia mau alanui, ʻoiai ma nā wikiwiki supercar maoli.
Il Hoʻoili akomi pili pono ia me kēia mīkini. Māmā a pane hoʻi ia, a ʻo ka pilina maikaʻi ma waena o ka mea hoʻoikaika a me ka hope e ʻae iā ʻoe e holo i hope. E lilo ka hoʻokele i mea maʻalahi me ka wikiwiki, akā me ka ʻole o ka hoʻonui, kahi e hana ai i kahi ʻano leʻaleʻa mai ke kaʻa aku.
He mīkini hoʻomaha ia ma nā huakaʻi lōʻihi, me ka ʻoluʻolu o ka ʻūhū i ka wikiwiki o ke alaloa. A i ʻole pēlā. ʻO ka leo o ka lewa ma kēia hiʻohiʻona - akā ʻaʻole ma ke kaʻa hana, ua hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo Morgan iā mākou - hoʻopau i nā leo ʻē aʻe a pau, me ke kani stereo, aʻu i ʻike ai ma hope, huna ʻia ma lalo o ka dashboard. Hoʻohui ʻia ʻo 8 i wela aair conditioner ʻo ia hoʻi, e anuanu kūpono ʻole. ʻO nā hemahema āpau i loaʻa ʻole i ka Porsche 991 Carrera S, kahi e emi ai ke kumukūʻai.
Akā ʻaʻole kēlā ka manaʻo. Hoʻohui 8 kahi mea hoihoi iā ia iho. ʻAʻole maikaʻi ia i ka manawa mua, a ma kekahi mau ʻano ua hōʻoia ʻia ka manaʻo ʻoiai ma hope o kekahi mau kilomita ma hope o ka huila, akā inā maʻa ʻoe i ka hoʻokele kaʻa hou, e hala ana ʻoe i kekahi mau lā i ke Morgan . ʻAʻole ia e like me ke aʻo ʻana i kahi lawelawe kuʻuna 911 kahi e aʻo ai ʻoe pehea e hoʻokuʻu ai i kona hiki piha, ʻoi aku ka nui e pili ana i ka ʻae ʻana i kāna palena a me ka leʻaleʻa ʻana iā ia: Morgan. Wikiwiki a kuʻuna. I ka pōkole, Plus 8.
