He aha ka Aston Martin? He hōʻailona ia me kahi moʻopuna hiki ʻole ke hōʻole ʻia, i kūkulu ʻia ma luna o nā makahiki he nui e like me nā marques exotic e like me Ferrari a me Lamborghini, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna mau kaʻa alanui Grand Tourer ma mua o nā supercars mid-engined o kona mau hoa Italia. 

Ua ʻike ka millennium hou i ka hōʻailona Pelekane i kona maikaʻi loa, koe wale no nā ola lōʻihi loa o nā ʻohana kumu hoʻohālike DB a me Vantage. 

Nani mau lākou i ka wā i hoʻomaha ai lākou ma kahi o ʻumi mau makahiki, akā ua lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o kā lākou mīkini a me nā ʻāpana uila, ʻoi aku hoʻi i kēia hopena exotic o ke kumu kūʻai. 

Ua maikaʻi ka millennium hou no Aston Martin.

E hoʻokomo i kahi hui ʻenehana hou me Mercedes-AMG i ʻike i ka paepae ʻenehana o ka DB11 hou a me nā hiʻohiʻona Vantage e hele pololei i ka minuke, ma ka laina me kā lākou kuhikuhi styling hou, ʻoi aku ka wiwo ʻole ma mua akā ʻaʻole maopopo ʻo Aston.  

No laila ua like lākou me kahi Aston, akā manaʻo lākou e like me kahi AMG ʻē aʻe? Manaʻolana wau ʻaʻole, no ka mea, ʻo kahi hōʻailona me ka ikaika a me ka hoʻoilina o Aston e mālama i kona ʻike.

ahiahi Poalima

Ua lilo kā mākou Vantage i mea kūʻai mua ʻia o ka Lunar Eclipse Designer Spec me ka nui o nā koho i hoʻonui i kāna kumukūʻai papa inoa i $367,579 mai ke kumu kūʻai papa inoa o Vantage $299,950. 

Aia i loko o ka ʻeke he 13 mau ʻāpana o waho a me 15 mau ʻāpana o loko, e hōʻike ana ua mākaukau ʻo Aston i ka hana pilikino e like me ke koena o ka honua kaʻa exotic. 

ʻO ka mea nui, kū ka Lunar Eclipse Designer Spec no ka pena metala polū hohonu loa i ka hoʻomanaʻo ola, me nā ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka kala, nā lima puka, nā aniani ʻaoʻao a me ka hale. Hoʻopili ʻia ka ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele i kekahi chrome koe wale nō nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a me nā hōʻailona a pili pū i nā calipers brake a pili pū i nā huila 20" 10 i hoʻopaʻa ʻia.

Aia i loko o ka pūʻolo nā noho i hoʻonui ʻia me ka wela a me ka ea (ʻae, ma kahi kaʻa $300K), kahi huila hoʻokele Sport Plus, ʻeleʻele a me ka uliuli i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i ka ʻili ʻili, ka humuhumu ʻokoʻa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka kala, ka paipu kalapona i waenakonu. nā mana console a me nā mea hoʻokomo puka, a me nā ʻōpala o ke kālā satin. 

Hāʻawi pū ia i kahi Tech Pack e pili ana i ka mana holo moku maʻamau, ke komo kī ʻole a me ka nānā ʻana i kahi makapō (ʻae, $ 300k hou), a me kahi kaʻa kaʻa a me kahi touchpad ma Mercedes no ka ʻōnaehana infotainment.

E like me ka hapanui o kēia hopena o ke kumu kūʻai, ʻaʻohe helu palekana kūhelu mai ANCAP a i ʻole Euro NCAP, a ʻaʻohe ʻōlelo i nā hiʻohiʻona palekana ʻē aʻe e like me AEB ma ka pepa kikoʻī. 

No laila, he hoʻopaʻapaʻa koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ke kumukūʻai kuʻuna, akā ʻaʻole paha e hoʻopau i nā mea he nui i kēia ao, a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka awelika o ka mea kūʻai mai Vantage he $40 mau koho ma mua o ka maʻamau. 

Ke kali nei ʻo ia iaʻu ma ke kahua kaʻa i ka pō Pōʻalima, ua nānā ʻo ia i ka hewa akā ʻoluʻolu e kūʻē i ka Camry, CX-5, a me nā Rangers e hoʻopuni ana iā ia. 

ʻEleʻele akā paʻakikī a hou i ka nānā mua ʻana.

Pīhoihoi ʻia e nā puka swan piʻi i hoʻonani ʻia i kēlā me kēia ala hele ʻo Aston mai ka DB9, hoʻomanaʻo wau i ka huila hoʻokele kuʻuna ʻole o Vantage, kokoke i ke ʻano huinahā. 

ʻAʻole naʻe au i ʻike i ke ʻano o kēia manawa e pili ana i nā pahu pahu pahu i nā kaʻa hana. ʻAʻole au makemake i nā huila papaha lalo, ke ʻole lākou i loko o kahi kaʻa heihei huila hāmama kahi e huli ai ka huila hoʻokele ma lalo o hoʻokahi huli mai ka laka a i ka laka. Hiki i kēia hopena pule ke wehe i koʻu mau maka?

ʻAʻole maʻamau ka pihi hoʻomaka a me nā kaohi pahu pahu, akā pololei maoli: aia ka pihi hoʻomaka ma waena pono o nā pihi koho P, R, N a me D.  

Ke kaomi ʻana i kahi pihi ma ka waena, ola ka ʻenekini V4.0 māhoe māhoe 8-lita o AMG ma mua o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka hana hoʻomehana ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki i hoʻohana ʻia i nā supercars o kēia mau lā. Akā ʻo wai ka manaʻo, ʻaʻole ʻo Yaris.

AMG's 4.0-lita māhoe-turbocharged V8 engine hāʻawi 375 kW/685 Nm.

ʻO koʻu pō Pōʻalima kaʻahele i waho o ke kūlanakauhale ma ke alanui Parramatta a ʻo ka M4 i hoʻopiha ʻia i ka hana alanui e hele ana i nā Blue Mountains ʻaʻole i hana ʻoi aku ma mua o kekahi o ka Vantage i ʻōlelo ʻia 375kW/685Nm, 314km/h kiʻekiʻe ka wikiwiki, a i ʻole ka 3.6s 0-100 i kaena. akā, he ala ʻoluʻolu ia e hoʻopau ai i ka pule hana. 

Ke noho nei i loko o ka hale kahi i ʻike ʻia ai ʻo ke aniani wale nō nā ʻili ʻili ʻole, ʻo ka pahu hōʻailona huli, ke kalapona kalapona a me nā pihi alumini a me nā mea hoʻokomo e like paha me ke ahiahi pipiʻi me Max Mosley, akā he ʻike ʻokoʻa loa. ʻO kekahi me kahi kikowaena multimedia e pili ana i Mercedes, ʻo ia ka mea e kū'ē i ka hōʻino huna.

Paʻa ka holo akā ʻaʻole ʻoʻoleʻa, V8 ka leo pauku akā ʻaʻole puʻu e like me ka ʻenekini hoʻokahi ma C63 guise, a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi hoʻonohonoho pahu pahu pahu heihei, ʻo ka torque converter ʻewalu-wikiwiki kaʻa ZF e kū like me ka maʻalahi. - ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kaʻa kaʻa kūlanakauhale, e like me kā mākou i manaʻo ai mai nā kaʻa holo kaʻa hope a pau i kēia mau lā.

ʻO ka mea wale nō e hiki ke wehewehe ʻia ma ke ʻano he kuʻikahi NVH, ʻo ia ka ʻili ʻana o nā ʻili ʻili i kekahi manawa e launa pū ana e like me ka wā e hui ai kāu mau buns i kahi saloon Chesterfield. E kaha i ka helu ʻekahi no ka mālama ʻana i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa. 

sabā lā

Ua hoʻokipa ʻia ke kakahiaka Poaono me ke koi e hele i nā hale kūʻai kūloko no kekahi mau mea pono.

ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ke noho nei au ma waena o ʻelua o nā ala hoihoi loa i luna a i lalo i ka ʻaoʻao komohana o nā Blue Mountains, e like me kaʻu mau hale kūʻai kūloko. 

No laila, ʻo ke kūpono, ua iho au ma mua o ka piʻi hou ʻana a hauʻoli loa. 

E poina iā Aston, e kiʻi i ka hanauna mua ʻo Plymouth Barracuda!

Maikaʻi ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka hui hoʻomohala ʻo Vantage i ka manawa nui ma ka 991 911, no ka mea, he hana like loa ia o ke kaulike ʻana i ka hōʻoluʻolu o kahi huakaʻi nui me ka paʻakikī o kahi kaʻa haʻuki maoli. 

Koe keia he kaa huila hope me ka V8 ma lalo o ka ihu a me ka mahele kaumaha 50:50. Inā kūkulu ʻo Porsche i kahi hou 928 e like paha me kēia, akā ʻaʻole like ia, a ʻaʻole paha e like me kēia Aston. 

Lana ka manaʻo e loaʻa iaʻu kahi puʻupuʻu pōʻai e like me ka Vantage's racing GT3-like handbar me ka liʻiliʻi loa iaʻu i ka hoʻohana wikiwiki ʻana ma mua o ke kaʻa. Ua hoʻohana au i ka hoʻohālikelike "pehea e wili ai i kahi 50 keneta" i nā manawa he nui, a ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka pili. 

Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i nā ʻāpana kālā, ʻaʻohe mea o kaʻu ʻaoʻao kūʻai i mea e hōʻike ai i ka lumi o Vantage, akā ʻo kaʻu ʻeke duffel i hoʻopiha mau ʻia ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka lumi no ʻelua kū ʻaoʻao me kāu koho o ka hui tuxedo/tuxedo. ua pelu maikaʻi ʻia ke kapa ahiahi ma luna o lākou. 

lā Lālia

Ua hoʻomaka ka lā hope o ka hopena pule me ke kumu maikaʻi loa aʻu i ʻike ai e haʻalele i kahi moe ma 6:30 i ka lā Sābati, ma mua o kaʻu mau keiki liʻiliʻi ʻelua: Nā kaʻa ma nā mauna a me ke kofe ma ka ʻauʻau Medlow. 

Ma waho aʻe o nā hanana C&C ʻē aʻe e hoʻopuni ana i ke kūlanakauhale, ʻo ka hanana ʻo Blue Mountains, i mālama ʻia i kēlā me kēia Lāpule ʻekolu o kēlā me kēia mahina, ʻo ia ke kumu nui o ka manaʻo "hele mai, hele mai" e paipai ana i ke kaʻa maikaʻi a me ka ʻohi kope. E nānā i kaʻu Instagram, ua lawa nā hōʻike.

No laila, no ke aha e hoʻolele ai i kahi Aston Martin hou no kekahi? No ka mea, ua uhi ʻia e ka ʻāpana "hele mai kēlā me kēia" o ka hoʻohālikelike, a aia kekahi mea kūikawā i kēlā me kēia manawa.

ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, i koʻu mau maka ua kūpono ke kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa ʻo Mazda 1300 i ka bila, akā ke manaʻo nei au i ka Italia V12 kūikawā.

Ma ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana, ʻo ka manawa mua aʻu i ʻike ai i nā kīʻaha ʻelua ma ka console kikowaena ma ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kaʻu huakaʻi puʻu. ʻAʻole nā ​​mea a pau o ka Aston orbit e noʻonoʻo i nā kikoʻī koʻikoʻi, akā pono wau e inoa i nā ʻeke puka, ʻaʻole hiki ke komo i loko o nā hue liiki.

Ma muli o ke ala a nā kaukani o Sydney e hele ai i ka Lāpule i kēlā me kēia pule, ua hakakā ka Vantage e mālama i nā wahi kokoke i 80-60-80km / h, akā ʻaʻole ia ka hewa o ke kaʻa. Ua hele ʻo ia me ka ʻoluʻolu a me ka maʻalahi, akā ua hōʻike ʻia i ka lā ma mua e ale ʻo ia i ka huakaʻi e like me kahi pāʻani wikiō 90s mua, ʻelua paha ke kumu kūʻai kānāwai. ʻAe, e noho ana i kahi pāʻani wikiō mai nā makahiki 90 mua...

nā ahiahi

Inā he hauʻoli ka hoʻi ʻana i ka home i ka Pōʻalima ma ka Aston Vantage hou, a laila ua hoʻopau ʻia ka makaʻu o ka Pōʻakahi ma ke keʻena, ʻoiai ke hoʻopau ʻia ke ala kakahiaka e kahi huakaʻi i ka servo e hoʻopiha ai. 

ʻO 10.3L / 100km kāna helu hui, akā ʻoiai ke ʻoki nei i kahi streak hana maikaʻi i kā mākou hopena pule, ua hoʻohana wale mākou i 12.1L/100km o 95RON no 400km. 

He ʻoluʻolu e like me Idris Elba i ka lole Savile Row, kahi e hiki ai iā ia ke hoʻokuʻu i kāna mau hoa paio Lycra. 

Inā paha i kūkulu ʻo Aston i kahi huila hoʻokele poepoe.
