E ho'āʻo i ka BMW nani loa i ka mōʻaukala
He aha ka BMW nani loa? ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka pane, no ka mea, i loko o nā makahiki 92 i hala mai ka hana ʻana o nā kaʻa, ua loaʻa i ka poʻe Bavarians nā hana he nui. Inā ʻoe e nīnau iā mākou, e kuhikuhi mākou i ka nani 507 o nā 50s, ke kaʻa punahele a Elvis Presley. Akā he nui nō hoʻi nā connoisseurs e kuhikuhi ana i ka BMW nani loa i ka mōʻaukala, kahi mea hou aʻe - ka Z8 roadster, i hana ʻia i ka wanaʻao o ka millennium hou.
ʻAʻohe kumu no ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa aesthetic, no ka mea, ua hana ʻia ka Z8 (code E52) ma ke ʻano he mahalo i ka BMW 507 kaao. ʻo ia ka hana maikaʻi loa na Scott Lampert, a ua hana ʻia ka mea kupaianaha e Dane Henrik Fisker, ka mea nāna i hana i ka Aston Martin DB9 a me Fisker Karma.
Ua paʻi ke kaʻa i hoʻopau ʻia i ka mākeke i ka makahiki 2000, i ka manawa kūpono no ka lilo ʻana o nā waiwai ʻenehana ma mua o ʻekolu hapaha o ko lākou waiwai. ʻO ke kūlana hoʻokele waiwai maikaʻi ʻole i hoʻopōʻino i ka Z8 no ka mea ʻaʻole maʻalahi: ma muli o nā mea waiwai i hoʻohana ʻia a me nā chassis alumini a pau, ʻo ke kumukūʻai ma US he $128000, e like me ʻelima Ford Mustans. ʻO ka manawa kūpono a ʻaʻole paha, ke kūʻai ʻia nei kahi kope nani ma ʻAmelika no ka nui like.
I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hāʻawi nui ka Z8 no kāu kālā, ʻaʻole e hōʻike i ka hoʻolālā maikaʻi. Ma lalo o kona kaupena he ʻenekini V4,9 8-lita me ka pāʻālua S62, a ua hoʻokomo pū ʻia ʻo BMW i ka E39 M5 kaʻao. Ma aneʻi ua hoʻomohala ʻia 400 horsepower a hoʻonoho ʻia e hōʻoia i ka mahele kaulike kūpono ma nā axles ʻelua. Ua hoʻohiki ʻo BMW e hoʻonui i 100 km / h ma 4,7 kekona, akā i nā hoʻokolohua hōʻike ʻia 4,3 ia.
ʻO kekahi o nā puke kaulana loa, ʻo Car & Driver, i hoʻohālikelike i ka Z8 i ke kaʻa haʻuki benchmark Ferrari 360 Modena a ua lanakila ke kaʻa Bavarian i nā ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ʻekolu - ka wikiwiki, ka hoʻokele a me ka braking. Eia kekahi, ua loaʻa i ka roadster kekahi mau hana ʻenehana - e like me nā kukui neon, i hōʻoia ʻia e BMW e mau ke ola holoʻokoʻa o ke kaʻa me ka ʻole o ka pani ʻana.
ʻAʻole ia he mea kūpono ʻole nā mea hana a James Bond i koho iā ia ma ke ʻano he kaʻa o ke superspy i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni "There Will Always Be Tomorrow" (as well as Jackie Chan in the parody of "Tuxedo").
ʻO ka Z8 kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona liʻiliʻi o BMW, me 2003 wale nō i hana ʻia ma mua o ka pau ʻana o ka papahana ma 5703.
ʻO ka hāpana i hāʻawi ʻia ma Bring a Trailer ua hoʻopau ʻia i ke kālā titanium me ka ʻulaʻula o loko (ʻo ia hoʻi ke kapa ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula). ʻAʻole pololei ke kaʻa - ua ʻae ka mea nona ua holo ʻo ia i kahi dia i nā makahiki i hala aku nei, akā ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia ka ʻoihana a aia ma ka lima o hoʻokahi kanaka i kēia mau makahiki. Hōʻike ka mileage i 7700 mau mile a i ʻole ma luna o 12300 mau kilomita. Loaʻa i ke kaʻa kahi papa hana mua a me nā hale ʻelua - palupalu a paʻakikī. A ʻo kāna wahi kūʻai nui loa ʻo ia ka mea i hana ʻia no ka mākeke US, aia kēia roadster i ka lawe lima. Nā Paila - Bridgestone Potenza RE040 ma nā huila 18 iniha.
