Thread: Attēlu īpašas: 60 gadu Chevrolet Corvette

Kā ikonu Chevrolet Corvette sporta auto ievada savā sestajā desmitgadē, paskatāmies atpakaļ modeļa vēsturē. Chevrolet Corvette ievada tās septītajā paaudze ar visu jauno modeli nākamajā gadā. Šeit ir mūsu gara un daudzveidīgs karjeras šo apskatīt visvairāk amerikāņu automašīnas veiktspēju.
Corvette C1 1953.
Oriģināls, bet ne daudz izmanto kā sporta auto. Taisni tā 150bhp seši nedeva auto daudz, kā arī paātrinājuma un divu ātrumu auto paveica labu darbu reducējošo spēku turpināt. Stiklšķiedras ķermeņa tika izmantota, lai samazinātu izmaksas, kā tas bija 52 Chevy sedans pamatus.
V8 un manuālo transmisiju sakārtoti sniegumu un pēc pāris gadiem bezcerīgi pārdošanas, Corvette beidzot kļuva veiktspējas ikonu. Motora tilpuma un jaudas neatlaidīgi pieauga ar gala 1962 degvielas injicē automašīnām veicot 360bhp, bet tas bija vēl baroti ar dzīvu pakaļējās ass atstādināt lokšņu atsperes.
C2 1963
Daudz modernāku nolūkam paredzēta automašīnu, ar ekskluzīvs šasija un apturēšana, nevis C1s sedans, kas iegūti mechanicals. Tik pie aizmugures neparastu neatkarīgu izveidoja ar šķērseniski leaf spring un vienu saiti uz katru pusi un šasija bija saspringtāka nekā C1s.
Bet tas bija pārsteidzošs modelēšana, kas patiesi atdala C2. Pilnīgi moderna un ļoti uzkrītošs, tas ieguva automašīnu Stingray segvārds, kas būtu saistīts ar zīmolu gadi.
Z06 (nosaukums ir iespēja kodu) 63, ieradās ar uprated bremzes, stiklšķiedras degvielas tvertne, limited-slip diff un sākta augsta spec, sasniegumiem orientētu Corvettes paaudzēm.
Jaudas un motora lieluma pieauga ar katru ikgadēju pārskatīšanu, beidzas ar ultra reti 560bhp L88 opciju 1967. gada-tika veikti tikai 20 C2 L88s un viņi tagad komanda cenas ap USD 600000 (370.000.)
C3 1968
Tas sākās labi-sākotnējās 68 C3 bija krasi veidoti lieta, pat ja būvēt kvalitāte bija bīdāmās kā 70 tuvojās. Bet pieaug emisiju tiesību hit izejas jaudas un motora izmēriem un jauno mērīšanas metodi, zirgspēku nozīmēja izvirzīto rezultātu izskatījās vēl zemāka. GM neizdevās izstrādāt tehnoloģijas, lai neatpaliktu, Corvette kļuva par savu bijušo patību ēnu. 1975. gadā neliels automašīnu tika novērtēta ar 165bhp, tikai 15bhp vairāk nekā 1953 oriģināls.
Tas neapturēja automašīnu no pārdošanas labi, un tas bija vēl konkurētspējīgi tirgū, kur katram transportlīdzeklim, kas ir cietuši no izģindušo iznākumu. Kādu brīdi. Lai gan ĢM izdevies palielināt jaudu un beidzot pārinstalēts degvielas iesmidzināšanas 1982. gadā, šajā gadā pārdošanas bija līdz 25000.
C4 1984
Digitālās informācijas paneļus, ne-gluži-pietiekami jaudīgs V8, alumīnija apturēšanu, un visbeidzot, stūres statnes un zobrata C4 daudz labāku un mazliet ļodzīgs sajaukums. Tomēr tas dubultojies pārdošanu no kur C3 left off, kabriolets atgriezās 86 un auto ieguva dažas diezgan modernu tehnoloģiju – pretbloķēšanas bremzes, elektriskā mainīgas procentu likmes amortizatori, sešpakāpju manuālo kastē.
Vareno ZR-1 pārvērtās superauto, ar sub 5 Corvette. 0sec 0-60 mph laikā.
C5 1997
Kaut arī šķērsvirziena lokšņu atsperes palika (priekšā un aizmugurē), C5 ieviesa transaxle uzlabot svara sadalījumu un jaunu 345bhp 5. 7-litru V8, kaut tas izmanto pushrods un bija tikai viena bremzes izciļņa vārpstai. Tāpat kā tās priekšgājēja, tas bija ziņkārīgs maisījums augstas un veco tehnoloģiju, tāpēc tas atnāca ar galvas displejs no 1999.
ZO6 atgriezās kā diapazons galvassegu, un turpināja piedāvāt superauto veiktspējas reālās naudas ar titāna izplūdes un 405bhp.
C6 2005
Izskatās līdzīgi uz C5, bet patiesībā bija gandrīz pilnīgi jauns ar jaunu 400bhp, 400lb ft 6. 0-litru V8, jauna suspensija (aizmugures joprojām izmanto leaf spring, kaut arī no carbonfibre), daudz uzlabots interjers un daudz lineāro bāzt. Tas arī bija vieglāks un mazāks par C5 un kombinēto masveida sniegumu ar zemu cenu.
123,000 ZR-1 (visdārgāko Corvette kādreiz) upped jaudas AMG rivalling 638bhp, un tas varētu hit 3 62mph. 9 sek.
C7 2013.
Pienācīgi tiks uzsākta ar Detroitas autoizstādē, C7 ir rumoured nokļūt twin-turbo V6 (lai gan V8s palikt pārāk), un tā būtu vieglāks nekā C6.

As the iconic Chevrolet Corvette sports car enters its sixth decade, we look back at the history of the model. The Chevrolet Corvette enters its seventh generation with an all-new model next year. Here's our look at the long and varied career of this most American of performance cars.
Corvette C1 1953
The original, but not much use as a sports car. Its 150bhp straight six didnt give the car much in the way of acceleration and the two-speed auto did a good job of reducing the power further. The fibreglass body was used to cut costs, as was the 52 Chevy saloon underpinnings.
A V8 and manual transmissions sorted the performance and after a couple of years of hopeless sales, the Corvette finally became a performance icon. Engine size and outputs steadily increased with the final 1962 fuel-injected cars making 360bhp, but it was still being fed through a live rear axle suspended by leaf springs.
C2 1963
A much more modern, purpose designed car, with a bespoke chassis and suspension, rather than the C1s saloon-derived mechanicals. So at the rear was an unusual independent set up with a transverse leaf spring and a single link on each side, and the chassis was stiffer than the C1s.
But it was the astonishing styling that really set the C2 apart. Entirely modern and very striking, it earned the car the Stingray nickname, which would be associated with the brand for years.
The Z06 (the name is the option code) arrived in 63, with its uprated brakes, fibreglass fuel tank, limited-slip diff and kicked off generations of high spec, performance-oriented Corvettes.
Power and engine size increased with each yearly revision, culminating in the ultra-rare 560bhp L88 option of 1967 – just 20 C2 L88s were made, and they now command prices of around $600,000 (370,000. )
C3 1968
It started out well – the original 68 C3 was a sharply-styled thing, even if build quality was sliding as the 70s approached. But increasing emissions legislation hit power outputs and engine sizes, and a new method of measuring horsepower meant stated outputs looked even lower. GM failed to develop the technology to keep up, the Corvette became something of a shadow of its former self. In 1975 the entry-level car was rated at 165bhp, just 15bhp more than the 1953 original.
It didnt stop the car from selling well, and it was still competitive in a market where every vehicle suffered from emaciated outputs. For a while. Although GM managed to increase the power and finally reinstated fuel injection in 1982, by that year sales were down to 25,000.
C4 1984
Digital dashboards, a not-quite-powerful enough V8, aluminium suspension and finally, rack and pinion steering made the C4 a mix of much improved and a bit wobbly. Still, it doubled sales from where the C3 left off, the convertible returned in 86 and the car gained some fairly advanced tech – anti-lock brakes, electric variable rate dampers, a six-speed manual box.
The mighty ZR-1 turned the Corvette into a supercar, with a sub 5. 0sec 0-60mph time.
C5 1997
While the transverse leaf springs stayed (at the front and at the rear), the C5 introduced a transaxle to improve weight distribution and a new 345bhp 5. 7-litre V8, although it used pushrods and had just one camshaft. Like its predecessor, it was curious mix of high and old tech, so it came with a head up display from 1999.
ZO6 returned as the range-topper, and continued to offer supercar performance for real-world money, with a titanium exhaust and 405bhp.
C6 2005
Looks similar to the C5 but in fact was almost entirely new, with a new 400bhp, 400lb ft 6. 0-litre V8, new suspension (the rear still used a leaf spring, albeit made from carbonfibre), a much improved interior and plenty of straight-line shove. It was also lighter and smaller than the C5 and combined massive performance with a low price.
The 123,000 ZR-1 (the most expensive Corvette ever) upped power to an AMG-rivalling 638bhp and it could hit 62mph in 3. 9sec.
C7 2013
Due to be launched at the Detroit motor show, the C7 is rumoured to get a twin-turbo V6 (although the V8s stay, too), and it should be lighter than the C6.
