“光环车”拥有时尚的造型,梦幻的功能。汽车厂商开发它们的目的旨在把消费者吸引进展厅,从而提升旗下汽车的销量。然而,历史上颜面扫地,适得其反的所谓光环车也不在少数。
斯图贝克Avanti 1962-1963 上世纪60年代,濒于倒闭的斯图贝克汽车公司(Studebaker)急需推出一款力挽狂澜的产品。于是以玻璃纤维车身为最大卖点的Avanti轿车于1962年发布,并仓促上马,投入量产。这款车的设计在当时被认为十分大胆。斯图贝克公司计划头一年生产2万辆玻璃纤维车身的Avanti轿车,但由于新材料产能不足,这款车的产量被限制在1,200台。这个产量远远不够拯救斯图贝克公司,它在一年半后就停产了。 |
Studebaker Avanti 1962-1963 With Studebaker on the ropes, the fiberglass-bodied Avanti was introduced to the public in April, 1962 and rushed into production. Considered daring for its time, Studebaker planned to build 20,000 of the fiberglass-bodied Avantis in the first year, but production problems with the new material limited the output to 1,200. That wasn't nearly enough to save Studebaker, which ceased operations a year and a half later. |
