2 Lotus 2008-Eleven loiloi

A ʻo ka nele o ka hope e alakaʻi i ka nui maoli o ka mua. Me ka lakio mana-a-kaumaha o 3.9kg no kilowatt a me ka hana i ʻoi aku ma mua o nā supercars kumu kūʻai, ʻike ʻia ka $127,500 Lotus.

ʻO 3.9 kekona mai ke kū ʻana a hiki i 100 km/h a me 8.9 kekona a i 160 km/h, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki ma mua o lākou āpau ma Oran Park.

Ma hope o ke kaʻa ʻana ma ka laina pololei i ka pule i hala, ua manaʻo kēia mea hoʻokele makaʻala loa i ka maʻalahi o ka ʻoi aku o kēia māmā. Hōʻike nā helu ʻole i kahi moʻolelo, akā ʻaʻole hiki ke hopu i ka manaʻo o ka ʻike ʻana iā lākou i kēia topper puka makani ʻole. ʻAno agile, pane koke a hana piha; ʻO 2-Eleven nā mea a pau āu e aloha ai e pili ana iā Lotus, ʻoi aku wale nō.

He mea nui e like me kā mākou mea hoʻokipa, ʻo Dean Evans, e hōʻike i ka mana ikaika o kahi kaʻa.

Eia nō naʻe, no ka mea hou like ʻole i leʻaleʻa mua iā Oran i kona hāmama piha ʻana, he pāʻani ʻo Lotus no ka leʻaleʻa piha, hiki ke loaʻa a hauʻoli.

ʻO ka milo impromptu i loaʻa mai i ka noʻonoʻo a me ka puʻupuʻu o nā wāwae e hoʻokau wale i ka hoʻomanawanui o ka 2-Eleven no ka lethargy o ka mea holo.

Ke hoʻonohonoho nei i kahi mea kokoke i nā laina kūpono, ka hoʻoponopono traction hiki ke hoʻonohonoho i ka indulgence, ke noho nei mākou ma ke kolu o ka pahu o ka pahu pahu eono-wikiwiki a pau loa, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka supercharged 1.8-lita engine.

Kū wale ka hā i ka wā e ʻā ana ke kukui ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, hoʻokokoke ka tachometer i 8000 rpm a me ka speedometer 180 km/h.

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hoʻāʻo i kahi Lotus, pono ʻoe, inā no ka hoʻokele wale nō. Hana ka hapa nui o nā mea hana i ka wili huila ma ke ʻano he hana, a ma ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana, hoʻemi mau lākou i ka manaʻo.

ʻO ka hoʻokele ʻana o ka 2-Eleven e hāhā maoli i ka manaʻo. Maʻemaʻe o ke kōkua, ʻo ia ka saber-sharp a aneane hoʻonāwaliwali pololei, akā piha i ka hauʻoli.

Inā hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe iā ia e kūʻai. E kala mai, akā pono ʻoe e hoʻomau i ka Europa ma ka ʻaoʻao no ka mea ʻo 2-Elevens ka laikini track-wale nō (a he mea pono loa ka mahiole maka piha). ʻIke mua ʻia e ka hapa nui ma ka Australian International Motor Show, ʻo ka 2-Eleven ke kaʻa hana wikiwiki loa i ka mōʻaukala waiwai o ka marque.

ʻO 100 wale nō kaʻa e kūkulu ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i nā lā track e huki i ka nānā. Hoʻokumu ʻia ma kahi chassis Exige S i hoʻololi ʻia, hoʻohana ʻia ka 2-Eleven e ka Toyota i loaʻa 1.8-lita 16-valve DOHC supercharged a intercooled ʻehā-cylinder engine me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka manawa valve a me ka hāpai ʻana.

Hoʻokani ʻia e hoʻomohala i ka 188 kW ma 8000 rpm, ʻoi aku ka ikaika o 16% ma mua o ka Exige S mākaukau ma ke alanui a me 20% māmā. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi, me ka piʻi ʻana o ka torque o 242Nm no laila e wela a ikaika ka hoʻokele a ma ke ʻano laina. Hoʻohana ʻia ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana a me ka hoʻokele ʻana e ka ʻōnaehana like, ʻo ka mea mua e hāʻawi ana i nā neʻe wikiwiki ʻana, hāʻawi ka hope i kahi koho o 18 pae o ka hana uila mai ka dictatorial a hiki i ka do-and-damn.

Ua ʻōlelo mākou ma mua (a ʻaʻole paha e ʻōlelo hou mākou), ʻaʻohe mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o Lotus.
