从庞蒂克Fiero到平民保时捷,各汽车厂商一直没有放弃推出平民跑车的尝试。以下谨为大家介绍几款在汽车史上占有一席之地的平价跑车,在纪念它们远去的同时,也让我们庆祝平价跑车在2012年的复兴。
捷豹XK-E 1961年的时候,有多少热血青年曾渴望拥有一辆捷豹(Jaguar)XK-E!它是旧(钢丝轮毂和拨动开关)与新(华丽的车身工艺及无懈可击的比例)的完美结合,它为汽车创造了一个新的审美标准,几乎前无古人后无来者。不过它的价格不算十分亲民——早在50多年前,它上市第一年的售价就达到了4,995美元。现在想要收藏这款老爷车的仍然大有人在,我也是其中之一。 |
Jaguar XK-E How many hot-blooded young men lusted after this car when it came out in 1961? A seductive blend of the old -- wire wheels and toggle switches -- and new -- spectacular bodywork, impeccable proportions -- the XK-E set a standard for beauty that has rarely been equalled. Never exactly inexpensive -- $4,995 was the first year's base sticker price more than 50 years ago -- it was still not so far out of reach as to be beyond aspiration -- mine included. |
