...the Project 8.
Project 8
The first thing you need to know
首先你要知道
is that the only bits that these two cars have in common
这两台车仅有的共同点
are the roof and the front doors.
就是车顶和前门
Everything else is changed.
其他地方全都不一样了
For some very good reasons.
这样做的理由很充分
First of all, they decided they needed carbon ceramic brakes
首先他们认为碳纤维刹车盘是必须的
that were much bigger than the brakes on the standard car.
那种刹车盘比普通版的要大上许多
Now, that meant they needed
这就意味着
bigger wheels to go round the brakes.
他们需要更大的轮胎来包住刹车
And bigger wheels wouldn't fit in these arches.
而这样的轮拱容不下更大的轮胎
So they had to redesign the whole front of the car.
所以他们必须重新设计整个车头
The headlamps, everything.
包括前车灯在内的一切
Then there was the track -
接下来再说轮距
the gap between the wheels, front and back.
就是前后轮之间的距离
They decided they'd like that to be wider.
他们觉得越宽越好
That meant fitting flared wheel arches.
也就是说轮拱要向前后扩张
So that meant a new panel here... and here,
所以这块要重做还有这里
and a new back door,
后门也要换成新的
and a new panel here and here.
还有这里和这里
Then came the engine.
然后就是发动机了
They decided they didn't want to mess about
他们认为这里绝对不能马虎
and that they'd use a five-litre supercharged V8.
因此选用了一台5升的V8机械增压发动机
But that wouldn't fit.
但放不进去
So, to get it in, they had to cut away at the bulkhead.
所以他们只好去掉这些挡板
And when it was in place, they thought,
放进去之后他们又意识到
"Wait a minute. That's all a bit heavy.
等等这样车头就太重了
We need to save some weight at the front of the car."
我们得给车头减减重
So, the bonnet, as you can see here, is carbon fibre.
所以你可以看到引擎盖是碳纤维的
And so are the front wings.
包括全部前翼
And so is all this.
以及这里所有
Suspension? Oh, yes, that was changed as well.
悬挂嘛没错也全换了
It now has Bilstein dampers that cost £1,000 each.
这台车使用的Bilstein避震单个售价1000英镑
And rose joints. And ceramic wheel bearings.
配备杆端关节轴承以及陶瓷轮毂轴承
Like you get on a race car.
这可是赛车标准
On top of all that, the eight-speed gearbox also needed beefing up.
除此之外 8速变速箱和四驱系统
And so did the four-wheel drive system.
也都得到了加强
And then they had to get rid of the spare wheel
他们还拿掉了备胎
and the well in which it sits
并在它原来的地方
to fit some under-floor aerodynamics.
装了一些空气动力学套件
And when they added up the cost of all the work they'd done, there was a problem.
在他们算出改装总费用以后发现了一个问题
In order to make any money at all,
为了不亏本
the Project 8 would have to cost £150,000.
Project 8需要标价15万英镑
That's four times more than the standard car.
是普通版的4倍
Four!
4倍啊
So, here's the question.
那么问题来了
How mad would you have to be to spend £150,000...
一个人得多傻才会花15万英镑
...on a car that was designed and built in a glorified shed in the Midlands...
买♥♥一辆在中部地区的作坊里用了一年半时间
in about 18 months?
就设计和组装出来的车
And the simple answer is...
答案十分简单
...not mad at all, because this car...
他一点都不傻因为这车
is fan-bleeding-tastic!
真的太牛逼了
The engine may be ten years old,
这台发动机已经有年头了
but it has a huge amount of character.
但十分有性格
And nigh on 600 horsepower!
而且还有将近600匹马力
That means 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds...
因此百公里加速仅需3.3秒
...and a top speed of 200.
极速可达321km/h
Even more impressive,
更让人惊叹的是
ten minutes before the Nurburgring shut its doors for the winter...
在纽博格林赛道进入冬歇期之前
...Jag's Project 8 engineers
捷豹Project 8的技师们
asked if they could have one last go round it...
要求最后再开一圈
and they shattered the record for four-door saloons
最后这辆车以7分21秒的圈速
with a time of seven minutes, 21 seconds.
打破了四门轿车的圈速记录
That's blisteringly quick.
非同一般的快啊
I will say that if you've got the car manually hunkered down and it's in track mode,
我敢说如果你手动把车身降低进入赛道模式
and the traction control is turned off,
关掉牵引力控制
things can go a bit violent and bitey...
一切都会变得暴♥力♥且硬核
...if you go beyond the limit.
只要你敢突破极限
The answer is to stay within the limits
答案就是最好不要越界
and in this car... that's no hardship.
对这车来说并不是什么难事
The grip from the four-wheel drive system
四轮驱动系统额外增加的轮距
and the wider track and the Michelin Cup tyres
配合米其林Cup轮胎所提供的抓地力
absolutely wobbles your eyes.
绝对能让你目瞪口呆
It's phenomenal.
简直不可思议
You can corner at speeds
你的过弯速度
that you simply can't quite believe.
快到自己都无法相信
I mean, that is...
这简直
That was 140 kilometres through there.
刚才那个弯是时速140公里过的
Look at that! That's just sheer grip.
看呐这就是纯粹的抓地力
Actually peeled my skin, that did!
我鸡皮疙瘩都要起来了
I am a sucker for small, front-engined sports saloons.
我向来对小巧的引擎前置的运动轿跑无法抗拒
I had a Mercedes CLK Black.
我有过一台梅赛德斯CLK Black
And this is better than that.
这车比那台还带劲
This is better than even the hottest BMW M3.
这车比最火的宝马M3还要好
You can whisper this, but I reckon it's even better
就算只能小声说但我真觉得
than Alfa's Quadrifoglio.
这车甚至超越了阿尔法Quadrifoglio
This is very good.
确实是台好车
Really, really good.
特别特别好
But... is it a Jag?
但它还是捷豹吗
Well, you can have it with scaffolding in the back,
你当然可以把后座换成防滚架
but this one has two proper seats.
但这辆车却有两个正常座椅
And in here, it has enough space for
还有后备箱这里的空间
a "borrowed" oil painting
足够装下一幅"借"来的油画
and all the kit that you need to go out at night...
以及你晚上外出所需要的全部工具
and "borrow" another one.
以便再"借"一幅油画
So, yes, it is a Jag.
所以没毛病这是一台捷豹
It even says "prototype vehicle" on it,
这里还写了一行"原型车"
which means you don't have to pay any tax.
说明你不用交税
Like my prototype watch and trousers.
就和我的原型表和原型裤子一样
And this prototype camera we're using today.
以及我们今天用的原型摄影机
And there's more.
不止如此
At normal road speeds with the car in Comfort or even Dynamic mode,
在正常公路车速下将车调至舒适模式甚至动态模式
it's as quiet and as civilised as a Jag should be.
它和普通捷豹一样安静友好
It even has little springs sitting on top of the bigger springs
它甚至在大弹簧上放置了小弹簧
to give you a more comfortable ride.
让你开起来更为平顺舒适
But everything's relative, really.
但这都是相对而言
I mean, it's not as comfortable, say,
比方说这确实不如
as lying in a hammock on a summer's day, listening to wood pigeons.
夏日里躺在吊床上听斑尾林鸽啾鸣那样舒适
But it does have air conditioning
但它确实有空调
and a head-up display and electric seats,
还有抬头显示和电动座椅
so it is more comfortable than you'd expect.
所以舒适度方面肯定比你预期的要好
In fact, it's better than you'd expect in every way.
事实上它在各方面都会远超你的预期
And maybe we shouldn't be surprised by that,
也许我们不应如此惊讶
because the last time something was designed and built quickly,
因为上一次中部地区的作坊里
in a glorified shed, in the Midlands,
被快速设计制♥造♥出来的东西
it was called the Spitfire.
是喷火战斗机
And it won the Battle of Britain.
因为它我们才赢得了不列颠之战
The Battle of Britain...
不列颠之战
And three, two, one, cue James May.
3 2 1 有请詹姆斯梅
Ready? Hang on. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
准备好了吗等等等等
Hang on. The Spitfire? Yes.
等等喷火战斗机吗没错
It was the Hurricane that won the Battle of Britain.
是因为飓风战斗机不列颠之战才会赢
Well, it just wasn't. No, it just was.
不是就是
There were far more of them, it was easier to build,
飓风式战斗机数量更多更容易制♥造♥
it was easier to repair, it was easier to fly.
维修和操控也更简单
It was. But that's like saying that a Nissan Juke
真的但这就像说日产Juke
is better than a Lamborghini Aventador
比兰博基尼Aventador更好
because it's easier to build and there are more of them.
因为它更容易制♥造♥ 而且数量更多
No, it's not like that. It is.
这不一样一样的
The Hurricane was a much more stable
飓风式战斗机的炮座
