Chishanu manheru

Yedu Vantage yakave yakatotengeswa-kunze vhezheni yeLunar Eclipse Designer Spec ine zvakawanda zvingasarudzwa zvakawedzera mutengo werondedzero kusvika kumadhora mazana matatu nemakumi matanhatu nenomwe nemazana mashanu nemakumi mapfumbamwe nepfumbamwe kubva kuVantage's base $367,579 runyorwa mutengo. 

Iyo paki inosanganisira gumi nematanhatu ekunze zvikamu uye gumi neshanu zvemukati zvikamu, zvichiratidza kuti Aston akagona hunyanzvi hwekuzvibata sezvakaita dzimwe nyika dzekunze dzemotokari.

Gloss dema inotsiva chero chrome kunze kwe exhaust tips uye mabheji uye inoshandawo kune mabrake calipers uye inoshandawo kune 20" 10 spoke forged alloy wheels.

Ini handisati ndabata maitiro azvino kune masikweya handlebars mumotokari dzinoshanda. Handisi kana munhu anofarira mavhiri ane mavhiri akatambarara, kunze kwekunge ari mumotokari yemujaho yakavhurika apo chidhiraivho chinotenderera chisingasviki chikona chimwe kubva pakiyi kuenda kuchikiyi. Kupera kwevhiki kuno kuvhura maziso angu here?

Bhatani rekutanga uye giya bhokisi zvinodzora zvakare zvisina kujairika, asi chaizvo zvine musoro: bhatani rekutanga riri pakati chaipo peFerrari-maitiro P, R, N uye D mabhatani ekusarudza.  

Kudzvanya bhatani nepakati, AMG's 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 injini inova nehupenyu isati yamira pane inokurumidza-kupfuura-inodiwa yekudziya-isingashande iyo inoshandiswa mumotokari dzemazuva ano. Asi ndiani ane hanya, maYaris haasi.

Kutaura chokwadi, mumaziso angu Mazda 1300 station wagon inokodzera bhiri, asi ndinoreva iyo yakakosha yekuItaly V12.

Nenzira inonzwisisika, nguva yokutanga yandakacherekedza zvibatiso zviviri zvemikombe pacentre console yakanga iri pakutanga kworwendo rwangu rwokukwira gomo. Hazvisi zvese zviri muAston orbit zvinofunga zvakakosha kudaro, asi ndichiri kufanira kudoma homwe dzemusuwo, izvo zvisingaite kupinda mumabhodhoro madiki.
