Ford Falcon XR6 Sprint, XR8 Sprint thiab HSV GTS 2016

Joshua Dowling tshuaj xyuas Ford Falcon XR6 Sprint, XR8 Sprint thiab HSV GTS nrog kev ua tau zoo, kev siv roj thiab kev txiav txim.

Cov no yog cov tsheb ceev tshaj plaws thiab muaj zog tshaj plaws Australia tau tsim thiab yuav sai sai no mus ib txhis.

Hauv Australian tus ntsuj plig tiag tiag, lawv cov neeg tsim khoom khaws cov tsuj roj ntawm lawv cov ntiv taw thaum lawv mus txog qhov kawg.

Ford - tsis sib haum xeeb rau kev ntseeg, Australia tus qub tshaj plaws thiab ua haujlwm ntev tshaj plaws automaker - tau ua khoom plig rau nws tus kheej thiab nws cov kiv cua.

Txhawm rau ua kev nco txog 91 xyoo ntawm kev tsim khoom hauv zos, suav nrog 56th hnub tseem ceeb ntawm Broadmeadows, Ford cia nws cov engineers tsim Falcon lawv ib txwm xav tsim.

Lub turbocharged XR6 Sprint thiab supercharged XR8 Sprint, ob qho tib si siv los ntawm cov cav sib sau ua ke hauv Geelong, yog qhov kawg ntawm kaum xyoo ntawm kev paub.

Holden txoj kev faib tsheb ceev, nrog kev pab me ntsis los ntawm American supercharged V8, ua kom zoo dua qhov zoo ntawm nws cov kev ua tau zoo HSV GTS ua ntej uncorking ib yam dab tsi txawv txawv rau xyoo tom ntej.

Txawm li cas los xij, lub sijhawm no cov tsheb no yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm lawv cov hom, nqa cov neeg tuag ntau dua nyiaj ib duas dua lwm qhov hauv ntiaj teb.

Nws yog lub sijhawm los saib seb peb yuav ploj mus li cas thaum peb tus phab ej hauv tsev tau hloov los ntawm plaub lub tog raj kheej, V6-powered tsheb.

Falcon XR6 Sprint

Los ntawm Ford tus kheej nkag mus, Sprint cov kwv tij tau "tsim los ntawm cov neeg txhawb siab rau cov neeg nyiam".

Cov kev hloov pauv mus deb dhau qhov hloov maj mam dub sab nrauv cov ntsiab lus thiab cov paib.

Kev ncua thiab kev taw qhia tau rov kho dua los ua kom zoo dua Pirelli P Zero log tsheb (tib yam pom nyob rau ntawm Ferrari, Porsche thiab Lamborghini) thiab Ford tsis tau tso tseg tsis muaj dab tsi ntawm cov khoom txee los ntawm kev sib tw rau XNUMX-piston nres calipers pem hauv ntej thiab plaub-piston nres calipers. . rear piston calipers.

Ces lawv "ua pa" ntawm lub cav, hais lus.

Ford engineers paub lub 4.0-liter rau-lub tog raj kheej cav zoo li lub nraub qaum ntawm lawv txhais tes. Inline-rau, tsim thiab tsim hauv zos, tau teeb tsa rau ntawm Falcon txij li kev taw qhia thawj zaug hauv xyoo 1960.

Lub turbocharged rau lub tog raj kheej cav tshwm yuav luag los ntawm kev sib tsoo. Nyob rau xyoo 1990s, Ford Australia xav tias Falcon V8 era tej zaum yuav los txog rau qhov kawg; rau ib pliag tsis muaj qhov pom tseeb hloov pauv rau Canadian 5.0-litre V8 Windsor, uas yuav raug txiav tawm xyoo 2002.

Yog li ntawd, Ford Australia nyiag tsim lub turbo-rau raws li kev thaub qab.

Lub turbo rau tau ua kom zoo dua li Ford tau cia siab: sai dua thiab ua haujlwm zoo dua li V8, thiab sib dua ntawm lub qhov ntswg, uas txhim kho lub tsheb sib npaug thiab kev xav zoo.

Thaum Detroit nws thiaj li muab qhov mus tom ntej rau lwm V8 (tus neeg Asmeskas, tab sis hauv zos tsim, 5.4-liter nyiaj siv ua haujlwm cam V8 dubbed "Boss"), Ford Australia txiav txim siab nws kuj tseem tuaj yeem muab lub turbocharged rau, raws li nws tau ua tiav feem ntau ntawm txoj haujlwm txhim kho.

Lub Turbo Six tau muag nrog BA Falcon hauv xyoo 2002 thiab tau nrog peb nyob txij li thaum ntawd.

Txawm hais tias yog lub cav zoo tshaj plaws Australia tau tsim, nws yeej tsis tau muag zoo li V8. Thaum lub turbocharged rau muaj nws tus kheej tsis txaus siab, cov leeg tsheb cov neeg yuav khoom xav tau lub suab nrov ntawm V8.

Cov kiv cua tuag-nyuaj ib txwm pom qhov nyuaj rau ntseeg, tab sis cov lej tsis dag. Lub turbo rau yog tseem ceev tshaj V8, txawm nyob rau hauv Sprint guise (saib hauv qab).

Ntawm no yog lwm qhov qhia tau hais tias: thaum lub zog qis me ntsis (325kW piv rau supercharged V8's 345kW), XR6 Turbo Sprint outperforms XR8 Sprint los ntawm 1Nm ntawm torque los ntawm 576Nm. Leej twg hais tias engineers tsis sib tw?

Lub zog turbo yog ntau tshaj li V8 thoob plaws tag nrho cov kev sib tw. Nruab nrab ntawm kev hloov pauv, lub suab "brrrp" maj mam hnov.

Kev cuam tshuam me me ntawm kev tswj hwm kev ruaj ntseg ntawm txoj kev nqaim thiab kev xav tau ntawm txoj kev yog tib yam uas txaus siab ua kom qeeb ntawm XR6 Turbo Sprint.

Nws zoo siab rau kev tsav tsheb thiab xav tias zoo li lub tsheb kis las tshaj li lub tsheb.

Tsis muaj dab tsi zoo dua qhov no. Txog thaum peb tsiv mus rau XR8.

Falcon XR8 Sprint

Thaum lub hauv paus ntawm XR8 lub cav yog tsim nyob rau hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas, tag nrho cov khoom siv sab hauv, nrog rau cov supercharger, tau sib sau ua ke hauv Geelong nrog rau cov kab sib dhos rau lub tog raj kheej.

Nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb tib lub cav li ntawm qhov tseeb Falcon GT, tab sis Ford txhob txwm tshaj tawm qhov kev ua tau zoo rau nws lub cim.

XR8 Sprint muaj lub zog tsawg dua li GT (345kW vs 351kW) tab sis ntau lub zog (575Nm vs 569Nm).

Tab sis qhov ntawd tau ua pov thawj los ua qhov taw qhia moot, vim tias nrog txhua qhov hloov tshiab, XR8 Sprint caij zoo dua li GT kawg. Tsuas yog lub icon ploj lawm.

Ua tsaug rau tsis muaj ib qho me me rau cov log tsheb zoo heev Pirelli, XR Sprint flattens bumpy roads and handles corners better than any Falcon before it.

Lub suab nrov ntawm lub supercharger zoo heev. Nws nrov heev nws ua rau koj nraub qaum thiab koj pob ntseg nrov.

XR8 muaj qis qis qis qis dua piv rau XR6, tab sis ib zaug nws hits 4000 rpm nws tag nrho.

Lub suab nrov epic ua rau lub suab nrov nrawm dua li qhov tiag tiag (raws li peb pom los ntawm kev txhim kho lub sijhawm ntawm lub tshuab), tab sis leej twg yuav tu?

Txawm li cas los xij, nws hloov tawm tias koj tuaj yeem muaj ntau yam zoo. Lub suab nrov ntawm lub supercharger pib stutter nyob ib ncig ntawm nruj thiab twisty fab raws li V8 overpowers log tsheb traction thiab stability tswj kicks nyob rau hauv.

Kev sib ntaus sib tua ntawm XR8 nce toj roob hla ua rau koj xav tias zoo li koj tau kov yeej phab ntsa nce toj. Nws yuav siv tag nrho koj cov concentration, tab sis qhov khoom plig zoo heev.

Tsis muaj dab tsi zoo dua qhov no. Txog thaum peb ntaus HSV GTS.

HSV GTS

Lub HSV GTS tam sim ntawd yooj yim dua thaum koj nkag rau hauv.

Lub alarm muaj kev xav zoo nkauj dua, thiab lub tsheb muaj cov cuab yeej siv ntau dua, suav nrog tus yuam sij kov, lub taub hau-up zaub, lub kauj log hloov, kev daws teeb meem siab dua, cov lus ceeb toom tawm ntawm txoj kab, nrog rau kev ncua kev ncua, kev tswj kev ruaj ntseg, thiab cov hom pa tawm. .

GTS xav kom muaj ob peb yam khoom siv ntxiv ntawm tus nqi no: $ 98,490, ib qho loj heev $ 36,300 txog $ 43,500 tus nqi tshaj Fast Fords.

Tab sis GTS kuj xav tias zoo li nyiaj ntau tau nqis peev hauv nws.

Ntawm txoj kev, nws sticks zoo li zom cov pos hniav mus rau lub rooj zaum ua yeeb yaj kiab.

Koj tuaj yeem hnov ​​​​lub chassis los ntawm lub rooj zaum ntawm lub ris thiab lub kauj, ntau dua li Falcon. Tom qab koj zaum hauv Ford highchairs, koj yuav hnov ​​​​zoo li koj lub pob tw tsuas yog ob peb nti ntawm txoj kev.

Peb tau tsav lub supercharged GTS ntau zaus hauv peb lub xyoos dhau los, suav nrog los ntawm HSV cog hauv Clayton mus rau Mount Bathurst Panorama.

Tab sis kuv yeej tsis tau nyiam lossis txaus siab rau GTS ntau npaum li kuv tau ua hauv qhov kev xeem no.

GTS yog ib tug tsiaj nyaum hnyav, tab sis nws yooj yim tuav peb txoj kev nqaim ntawm txoj kev nce toj ntawm ntug roob.

Qhov saum npoo yog du, tab sis cov ces kaum yog nruj, thiab GTS yog unflappable kiag li. Nws xav tias me dua li nws ua tsaug rau qhov kev xaiv zoo, cov nres nres zoo tshaj plaws (qhov loj tshaj plaws puas tau haum rau lub tsheb Australian ntau lawm) thiab lub tswv yim zoo.

Lwm daim trump card nce HSV lub tes tsho yog LSA's supercharged V8. Nws zoo li kev sib xyaw ua ke ntawm ob lub cav Ford: txaus siab ntawm qis revs (xws li XR6) thiab qw nrov nrov (zoo li XR8).

Nws yog amazing thiab kuv ci ntsa iab - txog thaum txoj kev xaus.

Lub suab nrov ntawm adrenaline thiab tee-ting-ting suab ntawm cov khoom cua txias hauv keeb kwm yav dhau sai ua rau kuv tu siab heev.

Peb yuav tsis tsim cov tshuab no lawm.

Txiav txim

Cov txiaj ntsig ntawm qhov kev ntsuam xyuas sab nraud yog kev kawm vim tias cov tsheb no tau tsim los rau kev tuag-nyuaj, thiab ntawm qhov kev ua si lig no, koj yuav tsis sway leej twg.

Txawm li cas los xij, peb qhov qeb duas tshwm sim nyob rau hauv tib qhov kev txiav txim ceev, nrog HSV GTS nyob rau hauv thawj qhov chaw, XR6 Turbo nyob rau hauv thib ob, thiab XR8 nyob rau hauv peb.

Peb hlub txhua lub tsheb no tsis yog rau lawv cov epic 0 mus rau 100 mph speeds xwb, tab sis kuj rau qhov lawv loj hlob npaum li cas tuav cov ces kaum nruj thiab dav qhib txoj kev.

Cov xov xwm phem yog tias tsis muaj ib tus yeej tiag tiag; tag nrho peb lub tsheb mus rau qhov kawg.

Qhov xwm zoo yog tias leej twg yuav ib qho ntawm cov qauv yav tom ntej classic no yuav tsis poob.

Tam sim no koj mus sai npaum li cas?

Ford tsis tso tawm official 0-kph lub sij hawm, tab sis engineers ntseeg tias koj tuaj yeem nyem 100 vib nas this ntawm XR4.5 Turbo thiab 6 tawm ntawm XR4.6 - peb tsav 8 vib nas this hauv ob qho tib si qauv ntawm txoj kev ntawm Tasmania hauv lub Peb Hlis. Tam sim no peb tab tom pib xav tias txoj kev stretch ntawm txoj kev uas peb siv yog ib tug downhill.

Rau qhov kev sib piv no, peb tau sim tag nrho peb lub tsheb 30 feeb sib nrug ntawm tib thaj chaw ntawm txoj kev taug kev ntawm Sydney Dragway.

Txawm hais tias HSV thov lub sijhawm 0-100 mph rau GTS hauv 4.4 vib nas this, peb tau txais plaub 4.6 vib nas this hauv thawj plaub qhov kev sib tw, txhim kho peb qhov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm 4.7 vib nas this hauv 2013.

XR6 Turbo khob tawm ob peb ntawm 4.9-litres txoj cai tawm ntawm lub puav thiab tom qab ntawd qeeb qeeb thaum lub cav bay tau ntub los ntawm tshav kub.

XR8 tau ua ntau qhov kev sim kom ncav cuag 5.1s vim nws pheej xav kib lub log tsheb tom qab. Peb rho tawm lub luag haujlwm thaum lub sijhawm peb xav tias cov log tsheb plam kom lub cav tsis txhob kub dhau thiab ua rau peb nyuaj siab.

Peb tsis yog tib tus uas tsis tau los ze rau Ford's 0 txog 100 km / h thov. Cov ntawv xov xwm tsheb kis las tau txais cov lej zoo sib xws los ntawm Sprint cov kwv tij (5.01 rau XR6 thiab 5.07 rau XR8) nyob rau hnub sib txawv thiab tawm hauv xeev.

Yog li, Ford fanatics, ceev faj txog koj cov tshuaj lom thiab koj cov keyboards. Peb tau mus rau qhov ntev kom tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo tshaj plaws ntawm XR Sprints.
