三開(kāi)門及其他:另類車型大賞
寶馬Mini-Clubman S:2008年至今 ????寶馬Mini Clubman S是寶馬Mini的旅行版,它的特點(diǎn)是右側(cè)后部加了一個(gè)反向開(kāi)啟的小門,尾部的后備廂門則是左右對(duì)開(kāi)的。這扇右側(cè)的小門在英國(guó)頗受爭(zhēng)議,因?yàn)橛?guó)的駕駛員也是坐在右側(cè)的,也就是說(shuō)右側(cè)正對(duì)著車流。寶馬公司解釋稱,如果要將這扇小門裝在車身左邊,就得讓汽車的加油系統(tǒng)搬家,耗資必將十分巨大。同樣,要給左右兩側(cè)都安上這樣一個(gè)小門也是不可能的。 |
Mini Clubman S: 2008- ????A station-wagon version of the original Mini, the Clubman features a small rear-hinged "club door" on the right side of the vehicle in addition to two split barn doors in the rear. The club door proved controversial in Great Britain, where it opened on the driver's side, exposed to traffic. Mini explained that to have mounted the door on the left-hand side would have required an expensive relocation of the fuel filler system. A club door on both sides of the car was equally out of the question. |
