Tuki

Lotus koyaushe yana burin zama fiye da ƙaramin masana'antar kera motocin wasanni kawai. Kuma yayin da muke jin daɗin hawan Elise da Exige, ba za su taɓa zama na al'ada ba. Waɗannan motocin wasanni ne kawai don masu sha'awar sha'awa. Warriors na karshen mako.

Evora mabanbanta shawara ce. An ƙera shi da kwanciyar hankali a zuciya ba tare da sadaukar da ƙa'idar Lotus don aiki da kulawa ba. An yi la'akari da duk abubuwan da suka bambanta Elise da Exige daga fasinjoji a Evora. Ƙofofin sun yi ƙasa da sirara, yayin da kofofin suka fi tsayi da buɗewa, yana sa shiga da fita ya zama ƙasa da mafarkin acrobat.

Yana kama da motar motsa jiki mai tsanani, amma Lotus ya fahimci cewa don yin gasa tare da motoci kamar Porsche Boxster, yana buƙatar zama mai sauƙin amfani. Sun yi nasara. Sanya Evora yana kama da sanya rigar Armani da aka kera. Ya dace sosai, amma a lokaci guda yana jin daɗi da ƙarfafawa.

Matsala ta biyu ita ce madaidaicin ingancin samfuran Lotus da suka gabata da kuma sunansu a matsayin "motocin kit". Evora ya yi nisa don ya kawar da irin wannan son zuciya.

Dangane da zane, ya bambanta da cikakken inganci da kuma Jamus Boxster. Wataƙila kawai abin da muke da shi a ciki shi ne cewa wasu daga cikin na'urorin sauya sheka na biyu har yanzu suna kama da sun fito daga kwandon sassa na Toyota. Amma ingancin shine mafi kyawun abin da muka gani daga kamfanin kera motoci na Burtaniya a cikin shekaru, daga kanun labarai zuwa kujerun fata da aka gama da kyau.

Duk an gafarta idan kun kunna maɓalli kuma ku buga hanya. Tuƙi yana da kaifi, akwai ma'auni mai kyau tsakanin tafiya da sarrafawa, kuma tsakiyar injin V6 yana da rubutu mai daɗi. Kamar wasu daga cikin masu fafatawa, Evora yana samun saitin "wasanni" wanda ke haɓaka haɗin gwiwar direba ta hanyar iyakance wasu ginannun nannies masu aminci.

Lotus cikin hikima ya zaɓi injin tuƙi na ruwa akan tsarin lantarki don ingantacciyar ji da amsawa. Kamar Elise, Evora yana amfani da fasaha mara nauyi, fasahar kere kere wanda shine mabuɗin yin ƙwaƙƙwaran mota.

A kilogiram 1380, wannan motar motsa jiki mara nauyi tana daidai da matsakaicin hatchback na Japan, amma injin silinda mai nauyin lita 3.5 na Toyota ya ba da iko mai yawa. Shida yana da inganci kuma mai santsi, yana ba da iko mai santsi da ɗimbin ƙananan revs waɗanda ke ɗauka da sauri da zarar revs sun wuce 4000.

Injin yana da babban bayanin kula a cikin cikakkiyar waƙa, amma a cikin manyan gudu yana haɗawa da shiru. Ga wasu masu sha'awar, V6 na iya rasa isasshen sautin sauti don gane shi a matsayin motar da ke buga 100 km / h a cikin dakika 5.1 ko kuma ta kai 261 km / h, amma tsabta da gaggawar isar da shida yana da ban sha'awa.

Hakanan abin ban sha'awa shine babban birki - 350mm gaba da baya 330mm - da rikon tayoyin Pirelli P-Zero. V6 an haɗa shi da watsa mai sauri shida daga Toyota, wanda Lotus ya gyara shi.
