2011年最酷的10款敞篷跑车
|
夏天到了。人们之所以会喜欢炎夏，一个重要的理由就是可以开着敞篷车兜风。敞篷车的乐趣是无穷的：清风过耳，阳光拂面，头顶青天，更别提行人艳羡的眼神了。 下面的榜单完全基于个人喜好。它反映了笔者对四座跑车的偏爱超过双座跑车，偏爱舒适性多于运动性，而且偏爱软顶车篷多于折叠式硬顶。 要拥有一辆敞篷车，就意味着要在车体硬度和内部空间等方面做出一些牺牲。敞篷车意味着没有顶篷防护，所以不宜进行越野等激烈驾驶。至于喜欢软顶甚于硬顶，则是出于便利和时尚的考虑。因为折叠式硬顶收起来之后，后备箱几乎就不剩什么空间了。这样一来，硬顶敞篷车就需要额外的存储空间，因此这种敞篷车往往需要比一般轿车更大的尾部结构。但不是所有的人都喜欢把车屁股加长几英寸。 以下谨为大家奉上笔者精选的10款2011年夏季时尚敞篷车。 |
Now that summer is here, it's time to reconsider one of the best reasons for hot weather: top-down motoring. Its pleasures are limitless: wind in your hair, sun on your face, sky over your head, and envious looks from passers-by. The following list is entirely subjective. It reflects a bias for four seats over two, comfort over sport, and canvas over folding metal. Owning a convertible means compromising on things like body rigidity and interior space -- the roof has to go somewhere -- so a convertible should be free of other assaults on the senses like a bone-jarring ride. As for the preference for soft over hard, it's all a matter of convenience and style. When a folding metal top is retracted, it leaves little or no room in the trunk. And the extra storage space it requires usually demands a wider-than-usual rear structure. Extra inches in that dimension aren't flattering to anyone. Herewith, my 10 picks for stylish motoring from Southampton to Sedona in the summer of 2011: |
