Ndibeka igesi kwiMercedes G550 emva kwemini yangoMvulo emva kokugqiba isithathu kwi Itumente ye-freeroll poker (I-G-Wagen yayihlala inxaniwe, okosana olukhulu lwentsimbi) xa isibini esitshatileyo sasiza kum. Umfazi ngokucacileyo wayezonwabisa ngeqabane lakhe, elabonakala ngathi lalinyembezana. Le moto… intle kakhulu, utshilo. Ndingayichukumisa?
IMercedes ekuqaleni iphuhlise i-G-Wagen njengeyona moto ifanelekileyo enjenge-tank yokunyuka iindunduma zentlabathi yaseSahara. Kodwa kule mihla ingaphezulu kokuhanjiswa kukaTrader Joe kunye noTalbot. Le ethile yayingeyiyo eyaziwayo engaziwayo ukuba ngabafazi abamnyama bendlu. Umbala uchazwa njengePaprika Metallic. Kwakubomvu obomvu obomvu, ukuvakalisa ubutyebi, ukunambitha kunye nesibindi. Umhlobo wayichaza njengebhokisi entle yegugu.
Isihogo, unako hlala kuyo, ndathi kulomfo. Ngaphakathi, i-porcelain yeNappa yezihlalo ezingena moya, yayicocekile kwaye inamagumbi njengegumbi lokulinda kwiarhente yetalente ephezulu. Wayengakwazi ukuyithwala imbono yokuhlala emotweni ngokumangalisayo, endaweni yoko wagidizisa isandla sakhe phezu kwentloko, wayiphathaphatha ngokungathi yayiluhlobo oluthile lwe-mastiff exabisekileyo. Ndayikhupha ityholo ukuveza i-4.0-litre biturbo V8. Uphantse wadlula, ebona ukusebenza kwangaphakathi kweyona lori ye-Euro intle kakhulu kwaye iphezulu.
Ngokwesiqhelo, xa ndifumana ilori ilungile, inamavili angama-19-intshi, i-A20 enokumiswa ngokulungelelanisiweyo, inkqubo yokutsala ngombane enamavili amane, kunye nezitshixo ezintathu ezizimeleyo zokwahlulahlula, ndiyikhuphela epakini ye-offroad eMarble Falls , malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-50 kumantla am. Le G-Wagen ngeyayiqhekeze inqanaba lesithathu elirhubuluzayo, akukho ngxaki. Nangona kunjalo, ikwabiza i-136,375 yeedola. Bayisondeze kum ibengezela. Bendingaziva nyani ukukrwela ipaprika yentsimbi.
Kodwa ikwanokusetyenziswa kakhulu ezindleleni. I-G-Wagen imile i-intshi ezingama-76.9 ubude kwaye iqulethe i-79.5 yeenyawo ezinobunzima bokugcina ngaphakathi. Inkulu kwaye ibhlokile. Umfazi wam kwafuneka axhome umboniso wobugcisa kwenye idolophu. Salayisha imizobo engama-25 emotweni, saza saneendawo ezingama-25 ubuncinane. Kwakufuneka sipakishe imiqamelo neengubo ukugcina ubugcisa bungashenxisi. Ewe, ayiyomoto igcisa, okanye amagcisa alishumi ndinako ukuyihlawula. Kodwa masithathe isityebi esilingana nepeyinti ezingama-25, nokuba zizixhobo zokuskiya, izixhobo zelacrosse, okanye inqwaba yezixhobo zeenkosi zemfazwe. Ziza kulunga ngomlingo kwesi siqulatho sikhulu kakhulu.
Kwaye iqhuba kakuhle kakhulu. I-G550 ifumana i-416 HP kunye ne-450 lb-ft ye-torque kwimoto enobunzima bokuthamba obungaphezulu kweepawundi ezingama-5700. Yakrazula uhola wendlela kwaye yakhawulezisa iitampu njengemoto enesiqingatha sobukhulu. Kwakungekho mingxunya okanye imigxobhozo engenakubatshabalalisa; le moto ilungiswe kakuhle ukuze ikwazi ukungxola phantsi kwentaba. Iidolophu azinangxaki.
Kwaye ngelixa ingeyiyo imoto emnandi, i-G550 ngokuqinisekileyo ayinzima kangako njengepiki ephezulu. Ayikhathazi ngenxa yokugigitheka kwe-SUV yodidi oluphezulu eyenza ukhuphiswano lwayo oluphambili kwindawo yentengiso. Ngelixa inokuhlala nje ezintlanu kamnandi, ayisiyobhasi enkulu, engenakwenzeka ukupaka ibhasi ye-Infiniti.
Njengazo zonke iimveliso zeMercedes kwezi ntsuku, i-G550 iza neenkqubo zokhuselo ezigqwesileyo, kubandakanya ukuncedisa iziqhoboshi, ukunceda indawo engaboniyo, kunye nephakheji yesoftware eXela kwangaphambili umhla apho iya kuba nakho ukuziqhubela kwimiboniso yobugcisa. Kwakhona, ngelixa ndiya kuvuma andazi ncam ukuba zeziphi i-Bi-Xenon Headlamps, bazenza zakhanya ebusuku njenge firefly enkulu eorenji.
Kwicala elingalunganga, kwaye oku kubonakala ngathi lelona cala lineemoto ezininzi ezinesiphelo esiphakamileyo, i-G550 imalunga nokugcina umbane njenge tektala endala. Ifumana i-13 MPG zidityanisiwe , okulihlazo. Iindleko zepetroli zonyaka ziqikelelwa kwi-3250 yeedola, kwaye ungachitha ngaphezulu kweedola ezingama-9250 kwipetroli ngaphezulu kweminyaka emihlanu kunakwimoto ephakathi. Ungayichukumisa, unokupakisha ubugcisa kuyo, kwaye uyayihlonela ikude. Le iya kuba yimoto efanelekileyo yokubalekela kwintlekele yendalo. Ingaphatha nayiphi na imeko yemozulu. Kodwa kungcono uqiniseke ukuba itanki lakho kunye nesipaji zizele. Le bhokisi yegugu ixabisekileyo ifuna ingqalelo enkulu.
