Loaʻa iā Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy kahi hiʻohiʻona hou no kāna makahiki 111.
Ua hoʻololi ʻo Rolls-Royce i kāna Spirit of Ecstasy kaulana e hoʻonani i ka puʻupuʻu o ka Specter hou, ke kaʻa uila o ka firm, a me nā hiʻohiʻona e hiki mai ana. Hoʻomaopopo ka ʻoihana Pelekane i ka hoʻolālā hou e hāʻawi i ka aerodynamics maikaʻi a ʻike maikaʻi i ke ʻano o ka hōʻailona.
ʻO ka nani a me ka enigmatic Rolls-Royce bonnet kāhiko, ʻo ka Spirit of Ecstasy, he 111 mau makahiki i kēia lā a ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ma mua o 25. No ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka milestone, ua hoʻolaha ka brand luxury British i kahi facelift mascot nui. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi a hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ʻaʻole wale i ka Specter-electric Specter hou, akā nā hiʻohiʻona āpau e hiki mai ana.
Emblem me ka manaʻo hohonu
Ua hoʻopuka pū ʻo Rolls-Royce i kahi ʻatikala i kēia lā e hōʻike ana i ka mōʻaukala o ka Spirit of Ecstasy a me nā keaka kanaka (me ke aloha puahiohio) ma hope o ia. Aia kekahi waiwai i ka mālama ʻana i kekahi mau ʻāpana o kēia mea pohihihi i hiki ke hūnā mau ʻia nā mea huna a pau ma lalo o ka ʻili o ka ecstasy. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau ʻikepili maopopo e pili ana i ka ulu ʻana o ka nui a me ke ʻano o ke kiʻi a me ke ʻano o ka nānā ʻana i ka wā e hiki mai ana. E nānā i ka mana hou me ka mea e hoʻomau ʻia me nā hiʻohiʻona o kēia manawa (Phantom, Ghost, Wraith, Dawn and Cullinan).
Hoʻolālā no ka aerodynamics maikaʻi
I kēia manawa he 3.26 iniha ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka 3.9 iniha o ka mana o mua, ua hoʻololi hou ʻia ke kiʻi e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka aerodynamics, e hāʻawi ana i ka coefficient drag incredible hou o Specter o 0.26. Ua ʻae ʻo Rolls-Royce i ka hapa nui o ka poʻe e huikau i nā ʻaʻahu o ke kiʻi me nā ʻēheu, a ke manaʻo nei ka mana hou e wehewehe i kēlā ʻokoʻa.
ʻano hoʻolālā
E nānā pono iā ia a ʻike ʻoe ua loli ke ʻano. ʻO ka ʻike hou loa o ka mascot e hōʻike ana iā ia e kukuli iki ana i kona mau kuli a hilinaʻi i mua, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka mea hou, me ka wāwae hoʻokahi i mua a ʻo kona kino e kulou e like me ka mea holo skate. ʻOiai ua hoʻonui ʻia kēia mea hou, hana mau ʻo Rolls-Royce i kēlā me kēia hoʻopau me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi ʻenehana i kapa ʻia ʻo "lost wax casting" a me ka hoʻopau lima. ʻO ia ke ʻano he ʻokoʻa iki kēlā me kēia ʻāpana, e like me ka snowflake.
Inā ua hele mua ʻoe i ka Louvre ma Palisa a ʻike kino iā Nike o Samothrace (a i ʻole ʻike ʻia ma ka puke a i ʻole ma ka Pūnaewele), ʻike ʻoe he mea kupanaha ia. ʻOi aku ka like o ka Spirit of Ecstasy hou i kēia haku hana ma mua o ka wā ma mua, me he mea lā ke neʻe nei ke akua wahine ʻo Nike i mua, e hoʻomākaukau ana e holo. Ma kēia māmā, he hōʻailona kūpono ia o ka wikiwiki a me ka nani a Rolls-Royce i manaʻo ai e hoʻokō me kāna laina uila hou.
