標準版的GT, 就像在夏天蓋了一床羽絨被,
flopping about everywhere, being annoying.
發狂地到處漂移.
This, though, in race mode, this is as tidy as a Marine's bunk.
現在,這個模式下， 就像大海在翻騰.
You can sense that the suspension is doing battle
你能感覺到車子的懸掛在抗戰.
with the bulk of the thing.
使用大量的技術.
But you can also sense it's a battle that the suspension is winning.
但是你能感覺到懸掛能搞定這場鬥爭.
There's a majesty to the way this car drives.
這車過彎走線非常精準.
And it feels like it has a soul, too.
感覺它像是有靈魂一樣.
ooh! Ooh-ooh!
Oooh, I like you.
我喜歡.
Oh, and Joe Walsh was wrong.
對了,Joe Walsh錯了.
Because my Maserati actually does 187.
因為我的瑪莎拉蒂 能開到187mph（300kmh）
So, it goes brilliantly and thanks to carbon brakes...
它很不錯 而且多虧了這個碳纖維剎車...
it stops just as well.

However, if you want a road racer,
但是,假如你要一輛街道賽車,
you should know there's a new alternative
你要知道還有一個選擇
from the dour, sensible, no-nonsense Germans at Mercedes-Benz.
從空間,理性角度來說, 德國的梅賽德斯奔馳.
This is the C63 Black.
這是 C63 黑色系列.
It's the latest plunge into the world of insanity
這是最新的,瘋狂的
from the skunkworks deep inside the bowels of AMG.
來自skunkworks的AMG.
In many ways, it's very similar to the Maserati.
從很多角度來說,它和瑪莎拉蒂很像.
Both cost around ?110,000.
都是110,000英鎊.
Both are two-seaters.
都是兩個座.
Both have double-clutch gearboxes
都是雙離合變速器.
and both are jolly fast.
都很快.
But there are differences.
但是也有區別.
Big ones.
很大的區別.
You look at this car and you take in the aero tweaks on the front-end,
你看看這從頭到腳的空氣動力學套件.
the nostrils in the bonnet, the massively flared wheel arches
引擎蓋上的進氣孔, 巨大的車身包圍.
and the enormous carbon fibre rear wing.
誇張的碳纖維尾翼.
And you sit in here and you know you have strengthening braces
你坐在這裡, 你會知道你有加固的車身.
and you think, yes, this IS a full-on racing car.
你會想， 對,沒錯,這是一輛賽車.
It isn't. It isn't that.
錯了,它完全不是.
It isn't even close to that.
它甚至都跟賽車粘不上一點關係.
No, no, over there. Go over there. Over there. Go over THERE!
不,這裡,不,是那裡. 這裡,不,去那邊!
What is that rear wing doing?!
後面的尾翼到底有什麼用?!
I think it's providing rear-end lift. There's no grip at all.
我想這個尾翼是為了讓後輪飛起來. 一點下壓力都沒有.
It is hilarious!
它太可笑了!
Through the corners there's just no way that I can keep up
通過這個彎道的時候, 我完全跟不上那輛瑪莎拉蒂.
with the man in the Maserati because he is driving a racing car

and I... I'm wrestling a mad yellow bear!
而我... 我在操控一隻發飆的黃色的熊!
This, honestly, is Winnie The Pooh with road rage.
這感覺就像是維尼熊在路上發飆.
I mean, obviously it's much more spectacular to go round the corner
我的意思是, 在煙霧中過這個彎，
in a cloud of your own smoke.
的確很拉風.
But it's slower.
但是它太慢了.
As you can see, because after every single corner,
就像你現在看到的, 在每過一個彎的時候,
he's 300 yards ahead of me.
他都要領先我300碼.
100 yards ahead.
領先100碼.
200 yards ahead.
領先200碼.
300 yards ahead.
領先300碼.
So on a track, the Maserati is better.
所以在賽道上, 瑪莎拉蒂更棒.
However, as an everyday road car, there are some issues,
但是,作為每天開的街車, 有一些問題,
chief among which are the racing harnesses.
這些問題中, 首要的是這些賽車配件.
Look at this - honestly, it's like something out of an S&M catalogue.
看這個,說實在就像來自性虐商品目錄的。
It means you can't reach the glove box.
你完全夠不到手套箱.
You can't reach car park pay machines or tollbooths.
你停車時,夠不到取卡機， 付錢時,夠不到付錢窗口.
They couldn't have ruined the car more
沒法更糟了,
if they'd smeared the carpets with dog dirt.
除非他們用狗狗的糞便來裝飾地毯.
And even if you ignore the bondage gear, all is still not well.
當你看到這個變速箱的時候, 你會感覺更糟.
If you take the gearbox out of race mode
假如你關閉"Race"模式
and put it in everyday "going to the shops" auto,
打開到所謂「買菜」模式，
it sits down there, in the bowels of the car thinking,
這個變速器一定開始想,
"Now, he's just pulled that lever, that means I have to do something.
"他撥動了這個變速撥片,一定是為了什麼."
"What is it? I have to bake cake?
"到底是什麼呢? 烤一個蛋糕?"
"No. Mow the lawn? No."
"不對,除草?不對"
"I know! I am a gearbox!
"我知道了!我是變速器!"
"He's pulled the lever, that means he wants third!"
"他撥動了這個變速撥片,他想要3檔!"
It's so dim-witted and slow in normal mode,
這個變速器實在是太笨了, 在正常模式下太慢了,
it makes the whole car feel like it isn't joined up properly.
它給人感覺是這個車沒有整體感.
So how does the Mercedes stack up as a road car?
那奔馳作為街車如何?
Well, like the Maserati, the rear seats have been removed.
瑪莎拉蒂把後排的座位被拆掉了.
But for a fee, Mercedes will put them back.
但是為了掙錢, 奔馳把後排座椅還保留著.
They will also - free of charge - move the steering wheel
他們也決定免費把方向盤和儀表
and pedals over to the correct side of the car.
搬到車子的右邊.
And look at this - hasn't been invented in Italy yet.
看看,還好不是在意大利設計的.
It's called a seatbelt and it's so simple and easy to use.
這東西叫安全帶 而且這東西很簡單實用.
And there's more.
還有.
It's smaller than the Maserati,
它比瑪莎拉蒂小，
much like Lincolnshire, so it is easier to park
更像是Lincolnshire, 更容易停車.
and it has a fantastic central comand unit
它還有不錯的comand系統. （奔馳自家的導航系統）
which not only tells you where you are and what you're listening to, but also,
它不光告訴你在那邊, 還告訴你你在收聽什麼節目,
if you push this button here,
而且,你按下這個鍵,
how much G you're generating in the bends.
你還能知道你的G向加速度.
Where the throttle is and how much brake you're using
比如在那邊減速, 用多少力度剎車.
AND the condition of your tyres.
甚至還有檢測你的輪胎狀況.
What it should say is, "Very poor, because in the last corner you turned them all into smoke."
我必須說, "非常糟糕,因為在上個彎,你光顧著拉煙了."
Yes, I'm just taking the children to school now.
沒錯,我正在送孩子上學的路上.
I'm on the school run.
我在去學校的路上.
Just turning left into Acacia Avenue.
左拐進入Acacia大道.
The biggest problem though with this car
這輛車最大的問題是
is that it's not what you'd call comfortable.
它不是你所謂的舒適.
Honestly, if you want to know how this car rides,
假如,你真想知道這輛車開起來如何,
sit on a piano and asked someone to push you down that cobbled hill they used in the Hovis ads.
那就坐在鋼琴椅上,叫個人把你從山上 推下鋪著鵝卵石的山路. 比如像Hovis ads的那條路.
It's ridiculous!
太可笑了!
I actually owned the predecessor of this car
我自己的確有一輛老款的AMG.
and I've been saying for years, it rides too harshly.
這麼多年來, 我也一直抱怨它.
And what have they done with the replacement?
但他們對這個新款做了什麼?
They've made it worse!
把它弄得更糟!
So, there we are.
就這樣.
Both these cars are good fun on the track,
這兩輛車在賽道上都不錯，
albeit for very different reasons.
雖然有很多原因.
But for commuting and shopping and going out for dinner,
但是對於日常生活,購物,吃飯,
thanks to the ride in the Mercedes
多虧奔馳的舒適性
and the gearbox in the Maserati, no.
以及瑪莎拉蒂的變速箱,
Neither of them work very well at all.
沒有一輛比較靠譜.
It does have a better petrol tank than mine.
它那個油箱比我的好.
And the seat belts are easier to do up. Yeah.
安全帶也比較方便.
Let me get this one straight,
我們就直說吧.
so you finally admitting that AMG Mercs are ridiculous?
你終於承認AMG比較可笑了?
Well, I mean, if you are me
我的意思是,假如你是我
with my very specific requirements for a car, it's very good indeed.
對於我對車獨特的要求而言, 它還是不錯的.
Yeah, but quite a lot of people aren't you, so for all of them?
但是大多數人和你不一樣， 所以對於他們而言...
Well, as I said in the film, er, it is a bit stiff.
就像我在影片裡說的那樣, 它的確不怎麼的.
Yeah. Just why don't you tell the ladies and gentleman
沒錯.那你為什麼不直接告訴大家
how many laps of track you managed
在後輪爆胎之前,你開了多少圈?
before the rear tyres went down to the cambers? There's a very pretty girl there. Have you seen?
那個妹子長得不錯,你看到沒?
How many lap did you manage of our track
在後輪爆胎之前，
before the rear tyres were lunched?
,你開了多少圈?

- 4! - How many? Four. - Four!
- 多少?4.
Four laps of the track.
只能開四圈.
That adds up to 6.8 miles.
加起來也就6.8英里.
That works out at ?85 a mile, just in tyres, to run this car. Yes.
開這輛車,光輪胎的開銷, 每英里就要85英鎊.
And we're now going to have to man our wallets once more
現在我們要召喚我們貼在牆上的這個人了.
because it's time to find out how fast the Mercedes and the Maserati go around our track.
因為現在我們要來看看 梅賽德斯和瑪莎拉蒂在賽道上的表現.

The Merc is now unleashing a 6.2 litre, 510 horsepower V8 atom bomb.

Penultimate corner.
倒數第二個彎.
Didn't go sideways, but Gambon, he did.

It's the longest-running sci-fi series in the world. That's correct.
-這是世界上最長播映的科幻電視劇了吧 -沒錯

It's better than seeing how many beans you can put up your nose!

One of the things that fascinates me is that when I was growing up,
當我還是個孩子時， 吸引我的一點是
and Doctor Who had the Daleks on, I was, "It's a thing with a sink plunger!" I was terrified.
神秘博士裡有戴立克（一種外星生物） 我完全被嚇到了「那傢伙有個馬桶塞！」
But now, even my youngest plays Call Of Duty and plays the Nazi zombies with dogs that explode.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
嗯嗯沒錯
Is it difficult to think of something that will scare a child

who has just finished shooting an alien in the face on a PlayStation?

Well, no... Yes, perhaps, but...
額不是， 好吧可能， 但……
Doctor Who isn't scary in the way
神秘博士並不恐怖
that there's blood and guts and people getting blown up.
就血腥啊內臟啊人們被炸飛的這種意義上
And actually, how scary is that?
但實際上， 那又有什麼嚇人的呢？
"Scary" is in tension. That's why I think the angels are really scary.
「恐怖」存在於緊張的氣氛中， 這就是為什麼我覺得哭泣天使（一種怪物）非常嚇人
Cos when you're not looking at them they go, thumpthumpthump, like that.

Never apply logic to Who, because... I suppose.
-別在神秘博士裡找邏輯， 因為…… -我就是這麼認為的

可以想見成為博士不僅僅意味著去演博士這角色
Everywhere you go, you've got to have children saying, "Who's the scariest monster?"
你到的每一處地方， 都會有孩子問你「哪個是最恐怖的怪物？ 」
Yes! I don't know if I should even say this, but I got home last night,

As you're such a young Doctor Who, I can't imagine your car history's particularly brilliant.
身為如此年輕的博士， 很難想像你的汽車歷史會如何輝煌
Well, no. The first car I had was...I passed at 18 and I got a Corsa which I bought brand new.
額不是， 當時我剛過了18歲， 第一輛車是全新的科莎
And I've got to say,it was a brilliant little motor,
我必須說， 很棒的汽車
and it's still going.It's still going. So, this was a ten-year-old Vauxhall Corsa?

-很顯然， 你來這是來做你的單圈 -是啊
How did it go? I was getting frustrated.I spun off a couple of times.
-你開得如何？ -我有點洩氣， 有好幾次打滑衝出去了
But I just thought,"Right, hell for leather!" But I think that was my problem.
但我想「算了， 沖一衝吧！」 不過這算是我的問題
A lot of the guests that come here struggle with the second-to-last corner.
很多嘉賓會在倒數第二彎有些掙扎
And we've got some footage of you attempting to get around there. Oh, God... Anyone like to see?

That's a tortured tyre, but it is clinging on well.
備受折磨的輪胎， 但抓地很好
I'm just sort of braking around it.
我差不多在那裡剎車
And down to second gear...
到二檔
Ooh, running a bit wide there.
又跑得有點大
Listen to those tyres! They're working for a living today.
聽聽這些輪胎聲！他們正不堪重負
This is the Hammerhead coming up.
來到錘頭彎
It's like an angry shark. Oh, yeah...
簡直像窮凶極惡的鯊魚一樣
That's actually quite nicely done.
走得非常不錯
In, a lot of understeer at the first part and... Argh!
以及第一部分轉向力十分不足…啊
OK on the way out.
好的出了彎
And we're going to hit Gambon like a BLEEP train.
像*列車一樣準備進入甘邦彎
'Come on!'
快點！
Like to see a man planning ahead - we're only at the Follow-through,
看到有人提前準備還蠻不錯的， 因為後面的彎緊接而來
still got that to do. And the tyres... Long way.
以及輪胎牆…路漫漫啊
Good cutting.
切線漂亮
Yeah, yeah... Into second. You're in very soon.
哦， 只有幾秒你馬上就到了
You can leave it in third actually for Gambon.
實際上在甘邦彎可以放三檔
And lots of understeer again, but across the line!
再一次轉向嚴重不足， 但沖線了！
Now, you are by no means the first Doctor Who we've had down here.
你知道， 你並不是第一個上節目的博士
You've had Chris and David.
Chris以及David上過節目
Yeah, we've had Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.
是的， 克裡斯托弗·埃克萊斯頓以及大衛·田納特來過
We've even had Billie Piper.
我們甚至邀請來比莉·派佩
Former assistant. Yeah, I've driven with Billie. She's quick.
-前任博士助手 是的， 我見過她開車， 她車速非常快
She did it in the Lacetti in one... I haven't got my glasses on.
她駕駛拉賽帝完成圈速在一分……我眼鏡忘戴了
It was either a 1:46 or a 1:48. Has anyone got any glasses?
不是1分46秒就是1分48秒， 有人戴著眼鏡了嗎？
She did it in 1:48.3. Actually, she was the quickest. 1:48.3, what were the others?
-她圈速是1分48秒3 事實上她是最快的 -1分48秒3， 其他人的呢？
Eccleston was 1:52.4, in the Liana,
埃克萊斯頓的圈速是1分52秒4， 用的車是利亞納
and Dave was 1:48.8.
而大衛用時1分48秒8
1:48.8... So where do you think YOU'VE come?
1分48秒8， 所以你認為你排在哪呢？
Actually, you're in a new car. Cos they did it in the Liana or the Lacetti.
事實上， 你有輛新車， 而他們的車不是利亞納就是拉塞蒂
So where do think you've come? I have no idea.
-你覺得你的成績是多少？ -我不知道
I know I'm nowhere near Fassbender.
我知道我永遠趕不上法斯賓德
Oh, I don't really want to be below Louis Walsh.
但， 我不想比Louis Walsh慢
Where is Louis Walsh? At 1:47.7, that wasn't that rapid.
Louis Walsh在哪？ 1分47秒7 -那並不快
You did it... Hm...
你的圈速是
1...
1分
40 40...
So that's good.
那不錯
3...
3秒
7 Point 7. Get in!
順利進線！
Matt Smith, the fastest Doctor Who!
馬特·史密斯， 駕車最快的博士！
And you go right up there. I'll take that.
所以你的名字放在這裡
I'll take that, absolutely! That's a bloody good time.
我真開心， 真的是太棒了
Yeah! Get in!
哇！順利進線！
That was a good time. Up there with Ryan Reynolds, exactly the same.
確實不錯， 上面是瑞安·雷諾茲， 成績和你一模一樣
And it's weird, because normally,
這確實很奇怪， 因為通常來說
when a lap looks boring and slow and steady, they're the quick ones.
當一圈看上去很無趣很慢， 事實上卻很快
Yours looked properly aggressive.
你的駕駛看上去很激進
So, do you drive the TARDIS like that? Is it the full,"Give it some!"
所以， 你是否也這樣駕駛塔迪斯（博士的時空穿梭工具） 全油門並叫著「再快點！」
Absolutely, that's the only way to drive the TARDIS.
那當然了， 那是駕駛塔迪斯的唯一方法
That's why it's always broken. You're always having to hit it with your screwdriver!
這就是為什麼它一直出故障， 你必須一直用音速起子刺激它
It's been a huge pleasure to have you on, the fastest Doctor Who we've ever had. I'm chuffed with that.
很高興能請到你當嘉賓， 我們有史以來最快的博士， 很榮幸
Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Smith!
女士們先生們， 馬特·史密斯!
When we heard the news that Saab had closed down,
當我們聽到薩博要關門的消息時
Jeremy and I were genuinely very sad.
傑瑞米和我真的非常傷心
Although we weren't actually sure why, so we went to investigate.
但我們真的不知道為什麼關門 所以我們前去進行調查
Saab began as an aeroplane maker.
薩博是從飛機製造商起家的
But after WWII, it noticed that demand for fighter planes had dropped off dramatically.
但二戰後 薩博注意到飛機的需求量大幅下滑
So it decided to start making cars as well.
因此他們決定 開始製造汽車
The first effort was created by two men...
第一輛薩博車是由兩個人造出的
one who designed wings and one who designed bomb racks.
一位是機翼設計人員 另一位是設計炸彈架的
Neither had done a car before and it kind of showed.
在此之前他們從未造過汽車 因此第一輛更像一次做秀
Their prototype had enclosed front wheels which was very aerodynamic,
原型車前輪被包了起來 以獲得更好的空氣動力效果
but as you drove along in winter, snow would build up in the arches
但當你冬天駕駛它時 雪會堆積在輪拱裡
and it was only when you got to a corner when you noticed the steering had jammed.
而且在你需要轉向時 你會發現方向盤轉不動
There were other issues too - the rear window was tiny
還有其它的問題 比如: 後窗太小
and there was no boot lid.
沒有後備箱蓋
Mass production wasn't their bag either.
同時他們的批量生產能力不足
While Austin made a car every 27 seconds, it took Saab 27 minutes.
當時奧斯汀每27秒造一輛車 而薩博需要27分鐘
奧斯汀: 以生產經濟型小轎車聞名於世 即後來的羅孚(Rover)
Oh, and all their cars were painted green.
而且所有的薩博車都是綠色的
So, a green car with no boot you could use,
一輛沒有尾箱 並且
and in bad weather, no steering.
在惡劣天氣裡不能轉向的綠色汽車
But the biggest problem in those early days was the engine.
但在早期時 薩博最大的問題確是引擎
As James shall now explain.
讓詹姆斯來解釋吧
This is the 92. It was Saab's first production car,
這是薩博的第一輛批量產品車 - 92型
and it came with a thirsty two-stroke engine
裝備一具飢渴的兩沖程引擎
that produced just 25 horsepower.
只有25匹馬力
The real problem is that the engine was only lubricated when you had your foot on the throttle.
這引擎真正的問題是: 只有踩著油門時 機油才能潤滑引擎
In a two-stroke, engine oil is mixed with the fuel,
因為在兩沖程引擎裡 機油是跟燃料混在一起的
so if there's no fuel going in, there's no oil going in.
如果沒有燃料進入引擎 也就不會有機油進入
This wasn't an issue when you were driving along on a level like this,
當你在公路上疾馳 或者上山時 這不會有問題
or going up a hill, because you had your foot on the throttle and you had the fuel and oil going in.
因為你一直踩著油門 燃料和機油持續進入發動機
But once you were going downhill, you had a problem as you had to brake with your left foot, but...
但下山時問題就來了 你不得不用左腳踩剎車減速...
Whoa! Keep the power on with your right foot
同時用右腳保持引擎運轉
so that the engine still got some oil.
以使引擎能得到機油潤滑
Whoa... This is very tricky.
哇啊 這太古怪了
And it feels stupid. I'm driving and stopping at the same time.
一邊加速 一邊制動 感覺真蠢
Then you'll arrive at the bottom of the hill with your brakes completely boiled over
最終帶著"沸騰的"剎車到達山腳下
and your 65mph Saab would be absolutely unable to stop.
此時以105公里/小時奔馳的薩博 將不可能安全停車
It's hopeless.
沒救了
'Saab's history is littered with terrible mistakes like this.'
薩博的歷史充滿了這種可怕的錯誤
'There was the 900 convertible,
薩博900敞篷車
'which was as rigid as a week-old salad.
僵硬的像個老萵苣
'There was the Sonnet,
薩博·索尼特
'which was supposed to have been a sports car... but wasn't.'
本應成為一輛運動車 結果卻不是
'And then in then in 1992, they even made a car with no steering wheel.'
然後在1992年時 他們甚至造了一輛沒有方向盤的車
In fact, the more you drive this...
事實上 你開這車開的越多
the easier it becomes.
駕駛起來就越容易
The temptation is to just stare at the bonnet in wonderment
誘惑來自於讓人驚歎的引擎蓋下面
that you can actually have any directional control at all.
根本就沒有方向控制
So, lots of Swedish strangeness, and an advertising campaign that didn't make much sense either.
因此 很多瑞典怪人 和那些沒什麼意義的廣告都說
'Only one aircraft manufacturer makes cars.
"世界上只有一家飛機場製造汽車
'Sierra-Alpha-Alpha-Bravo.'
塞拉利昂·阿爾法·阿爾法·精彩
Yes, Saab loved to remind us
是的 薩博喜歡提醒我們
that their cars came from a company that made jet fighters.
他們的車是由製造噴氣機的公司生產的
But it was nonsense.
但那根本毫無意義
This jet fighter, for example, had an engine made by Volvo.
比如這架噴氣機裝備的就是沃爾沃噴氣引擎
'Saab. It's a pity other cars aren't built this way.'
"薩博 為其它汽車公司沒有飛機製造背景感到遺憾"
The idea was that you were buying "a jet fighter for the road",
寓意 "薩博車是一架在公路上行駛的噴氣機"
but were you?
真的嗎?
So, James, you have a pilot's licence
詹姆斯 你有飛行員執照
- and I believe you've been in a Typhoon, a fighter aircraft. - Yes.
-我相信你開過颱風戰鬥機 -是的
Is there anything in here that puts you in mind of that plane?
你對那架飛機印象最深的是什麼?
- No. - What, nothing?
-沒有 -什麼? 一點也沒有?
No.
一點也沒有
Is the key down here on a Typhoon?
颱風戰記的鑰匙是在這位置嗎?
No.
不在
Do you have to lock the Typhoon in reverse before you take the key out?
那是不是要鎖定為"倒機模式" 才能拔出鑰匙?
No, it doesn't have reverse, as such. It has reverse thrust.
不是 颱風沒有"倒機模式" 但有倒噴模式
Yeah, but it doesn't have a reverse gear. It doesn't have a key, actually.
那不是倒擋 而且實際上颱風戰機沒有鑰匙
So, this is really not the same.
看來薩博的汽車跟飛機還是不一樣
However, it does have a night panel button here. If I push this,
不過 這兒有個夜視面板按鈕 按一下
It shuts down all the dials apart from the speedo.
它會關閉所有的面板燈 只保留速度表
Now, I can see this would be useful if you were in
如果你是在太平洋上空開著F-14
an F-14 over the Pacific
這功能可能非常有用
looking for the landing lights on your aircraft carrier.
能使你集中注意力尋找跑道燈
But on the A38 outside Derby, why would you want that?
但在德比郊外的A38路上 要這功能做什麼?
I used to worry it was all just broken anyway. How do you know?
我以前還以為是所有的儀表燈都壞了 誰知道是夜視模式呢
I must say I went in an F-15 once,
跟你說 我坐過F-15戰機
it was very different because nothing in here is covered in sick.
跟這完全不同 因為這裡沒什麼會讓人噁心
Even after Saab was taken over by General Motors in the late '80s,
甚至在薩博被通用買去的上世紀80年代末期
their marketing men kept at it.
他們的市場銷售人員仍然保持這種宣傳風格
Breathtaking acceleration.
讓人無法呼吸的加速度
Here, we have an F-22 Raptor, not built by Saab, being used to advertise
這是一架F-22猛禽戰機 非薩博製造 但卻用在
what is basically a Vauxhall Cavalier.
一輛相當於沃克斯豪爾·凱沃裡爾的家用車廣告裡
Saab, pure driving pleasure.
薩博 純粹的駕駛樂趣
So, Saab, a chequered history, bonkers advertising
薩博 一段曲折的歷史 精神不正常的廣告
and lots of harebrained ideas.
和許多 許多輕率的想法
But for every idea they had that didn't work,
雖然他們有那麼多不奏效的想法
they had another which did.
但有一些卻不錯
Often brilliantly.
可以算是"一般般的出色"
And one of the most brilliant ideas of them all was this.
其中一個"最出色之一"是這輛
The 99 Turbo.
99渦輪增壓
Saab weren't the first to turbocharge a car,
薩博並不是第一個採用渦輪增壓的
I mean that was Chevrolet and BMW and Porsche.
比它早的有雪弗萊 寶馬 保時捷
But they were the first to put a turbocharger on a mainstream car, which was this.
但薩博確是第一個將渦輪增壓裝在主流家用車上的 就是這個
It was thanks to this car that everything in the '80s
要感謝這輛車 將上世紀80年代的一切
went turbo-crazy.
都帶入了"渦瘋"
- The word "turbo" came to mean anything that was really good. - It did.
-"渦輪增壓"這個詞變成了好東西的代名詞 -沒錯
I had a turbo vacuum cleaner, which was fair enough,
我曾有個渦輪增壓吸塵器 這還算用得貼切
but my mate had turbo sunglasses!
但我朋友有個渦輪增壓太陽眼鏡
It actually said it on the lens. Turbo.
就印在鏡片上 渦輪增壓
You also got turbo razors. Turbo aftershave.
還有"渦輪增壓刮鬍刀片" "渦輪增壓擦面液"
- Did you? - Well, I didn't because I don't wear aftershave
-你買過? -沒有 因為我不用擦面液
because I'm not from Cheshire!
而且我也不是從赤郡來的
赤郡: 英格蘭西部的一郡
There was more too, because you could even buy your Turbo
還有其它的 比如你的渦輪增壓甚至有
'with water injection.' I don't understand that.
注水器 這我真搞不明白
I could explain it but you're not interested.
我可以解釋給你聽 但你不會有興趣的
- No, I am. - You're not! - I am interested.
-我有興趣 -你沒有 -我有
Water injection in the inlet cools the charger
入口處的注水器用於給增壓器降溫
- and it's the job later done by... - I'm not interested!
-這本來是... -我沒興趣
All we need to know is that with water injection this
我們知道的是 帶注水器的渦輪增壓器
turbo-charged pocket rocket could get from 0 to 60 in eight seconds.
能讓你的車 在8秒內從0加速至96公里/小時
That's quick, even by today's standards.
即便以今日的標準衡量也算快
- It accelerates faster than a modern Mini Cooper. - Yeah.
-這比現今的迷你·庫珀加速都快 -沒錯
And a Renaultsport Twingo 133. This is a fast car.
比雷諾運動版Twingo 133也快 這是輛快車
It is quick.
是快
Now, there is some Saab weirdness.
現在來說說薩博的古怪之處
The steering wheel comes out of the dashboard at an angle.
你看方向盤跟儀表板之間的角度
- It's like that. And there's a button here that says extra. - Extra what?
-就像這樣 還有一個標注著"額外"的按鈕 -額外什麼?
- It doesn't say. It just says extra. - Try it. - Ready? - Yes.
-沒寫 就寫著"額外" -按下看看 -準備好了? -好了
You haven't got any more interesting or attractive!
沒發生什麼引人注意的趣事
Little details aside, this is a fantastic car.
不去注意細節的話 這是一輛很出色的車
This is a truly fantastic car. It's a legendary car.
這的確是一輛很出色的車 傳奇之車
I used to covet this massively.
我曾經非常渴望擁有一倆
It wasn't just the speed I liked, either.
不僅僅是喜歡它的速度
Because when you look at the bumpers
因為當你看著它的保險槓時
sticking out like a spoiled child's bottom lip,
那就像個被寵壞的孩子的下嘴唇一般厚實
you get a sense the Scandinavian engineers
你能從中感受到斯坎迪納維亞工程師
cared about the safety of you and your family.
對你和你家人安全的關心
Do you know I had my first proper road accident in one of these.
我第一次發生車禍時 開的就是這種車
I was a passenger here on this side.
我當時是乘客 坐在這邊
I was only 17 and it belonged to my girlfriend's dad.
那時才17歲 車是我女朋友爸爸的
It was quite a rare car and it was lovely, white with a blue stripe.
當時那車很稀有 白色車身帶藍色條紋 很漂亮
The interior was this brick-red dusty colour.
內飾是這種土磚紅色
And it was a really nice car. We went around a roundabout
真是輛好車 我們當時進入環島
and a car coming up the road didn't stop and T-boned us here.
另一輛車從左邊過來沒有停 我們正好撞在那車中間
- I was perfectly OK. - You would be in a Saab. - Yeah. - What was the girl called?
-我沒受傷 -你在薩博車裡 -對 -那女孩叫什麼名字?
Uh...
呃...
Kate? No...
凱特 不對...
You can remember the Saab had brick red upholstery and had a blue stripe
你能記住那薩博車的土磚紅色內飾 能記住車身的藍色條紋
and where you were sitting but not the name of the girlfriend.
還能記住坐的位置 但就是記不住女朋友名字
Was she called Derek?!
她是叫德裡克嗎?
Because this car was fast and safe and a bit left-field,
因為這車既快又安全 還有點不合情理
it brought the Saab brand to the attention of
因此它使得薩博受到了一群
a very specific type of customer.
特殊客戶的注意
A customer who has remained loyal ever since.
一群仍然保留著忠誠的客戶
This person likes Audis.
比如這位喜歡奧迪的
This one likes Ferraris.
這位喜歡法拉利的
This one likes the bus.
這位喜歡公共汽車的
This one has a Honda.
這位有本田車的
He has a Peugeot.
他有輛標誌
And then this chap with the black polo neck
還有這位穿著有領T恤衫
and the thin specs.
體形瘦削的傢伙
He is an architect, and he likes Saabs.
他是建築設計師 並且喜歡薩博
Research has shown that Saab drivers are the best educated people on the roads.
調查表明 薩博車主是公路上受教育程度最高的人
The 99 gave Saab customers other companies could only dream about.
薩博99給了它的顧客們 那些其它公司只能夢想的東西
This car, then, was Saab's Dark Side Of The Moon.
這輛車 猶如薩博公司的暗月
Their first big hit, the one we all remember.
大受歡迎 並被所有人記住
None of the models that followed the 99 Turbo appeared to have quite the same appeal.
之後的其它型號都無法具有如此的吸引力
But they did.
但它們也不錯
'What we have here is a 1980s BMW
這是一輛80年代的寶馬車
'hanging upside down eight feet from the ground.
被倒吊在約2.5米的空中
'And what we are going to do is drop it.'
我們將讓它做自由落體運動
You wouldn't want to be in that if it fell from a crane upside down.
當它頭下腳上摔落時 你可不會想呆在裡面
If you were Richard Hammond, you'd be all right.
如果你像理查德·哈蒙德那麼小的話 應該沒事
Yeah, that's toast. The steering wheel is touching the ceiling.
壓扁了 方向盤折磨著車頂
'So, let's see what happens
現在 讓我們看看一輛80年代的
'when we drop a 1980s Saab 900 from the same height.'
薩博900從同樣高度墜下 會發生什麼
God, I really wouldn't have believed that.
上帝啊 我真不能相信
- I would not have believed that in a million years. - Look at that.
-我再過一百萬年也不能相信 -看看車頂
- I think you could get out as well. - That is stunning.
-我認為車裡的人是可以出來的 -真讓人驚訝
I heard Saab made the pillars so strong that when they went rallying
聽說薩博把車頂支柱造得如此結實 以至於參加拉力賽時
- they didn't have to fit a roll cage. - Is that true? - Yeah.
-都不需要加裝防滾架 -真的? -真的
They had to fit one because of regulations but it wasn't necessary.
當然他們還是得按照規定裝防滾架 但真沒必要
I was talking the other day
有一次 我跟一位
to a friend who is a senior designer with another Swedish car company
在瑞典某車廠任高級設計師的朋友聊天
and he said nobody could ever work out why Saab cost so much until they crashed it.
他說在撞車前 沒人會明白為什麼薩博車那麼貴
Saab were always pathological about safety.
薩博總是病態一般的追求安全性
Before putting a car on sale they made sure it could survive just about anything.
在將一輛車推向市場前 他們要確保該車能在幾乎任何情況
Even a head-on collision with a moose.
哪怕是跟駝鹿正面相撞時 也得使車內人生存下來
駝鹿: 成年駝鹿平均肩高1.5-1.8米 重380-535公斤
This attention to detail caused a few problems
在他們構思9000車型時 這種對細節的關注
when they conceived the 9000.
導致了一些問題
Because, to save costs, it was designed in tandem
因為為了節約成本 9000是與藍旗亞·行政
with the Lancia Thema.
合作開發的
The idea was that behind the different badges
這樣一來 除了車標和車身不同外
and underneath the bodies, the cars would actually be the same.
車輛其它部分實際應該完全一樣
And it seemed like they were - up until the point that they were crash-tested.
當時看起來也的確如此 直到對他們進行碰撞測試時
Lancia's engineers described the results as perfect.
藍旗亞的工程師描述碰撞結果"完全合格"
Saab's engineers described them as - I'm quoting directly here - "not good at all."
薩博的工程師描述為 我引用原話 "根本不合格"
And from that moment on, the joint venture completely fell apart.
從那一刻起 合作開發徹底破裂
The Saab ended up with much bigger wheels than the Lancia.
之後薩博用了比藍旗亞更大的車輪
It was also made out of thicker steel
鋼圈也使用更厚的鋼板製造
and had a completely different rear axle.
後輪軸更是徹底更新
Sticking to principles like that is expensive.
遵循那樣的原則 代價是昂貴的
Saab was losing money hand over fist on every car it made.
薩博製造的每一輛車都虧錢
Even advertising it as a jet fighter for the road didn't help.
即使廣告裡宣傳"公路上的噴氣機"也沒有扭轉虧損
Saab 9000.
薩博9000
So, in 1989, Saab was bailed out by General Motors.
因此 薩博在1989年被通用收購
To try and larch some fiscal sense into them,
在做了一些財政意義上的嘗試後
a team executives from GM went over to Sweden and said,
通用的一個執行團隊去了瑞典 對他們說
"This is a Cavalier from our Vauxhall division.
"薩博就是我們沃克斯豪爾分公司的凱沃裡爾
"To make your new car, you change the body and the badges. That's it."
開發新車型的話 換上你們的車標和車身 就這樣
Nice and cheap. Body and badges.
換換車身和車標 廉價又實用
Saab ignored them so completely that their new 900
薩博完全無視通用的說道 在新款900車上
shared only a third of its components with the Cavalier.
只有三分之一的零部件是跟凱沃裡爾共享的
When the time came to replace the 900 with the 93,
到93型替換900型的時候
the General Motors executives went to Sweden again and said,
通用總裁又去了瑞典 對他們說
"Here is the Vauxhall Vectra. This time we mean it.
"這次用沃克斯豪爾·威達 我們是認真的
"Only change the body and the badges. Nothing else."
只換車身和車標 別的不要動
Guess what? The Swedes went even more mental.
你猜怎麼著? 瑞典人這回更瘋
They changed so much that even the wheelbase was different.
改得面目全非 甚至連輪軸都和威達不一樣
At one point, a General Motors accountant went to Sweden
有次 一名通用的會計師去瑞典
to see why Saab was costing them so much money.
去看看為什麼薩博花了那麼多錢
He got into the new 93, turned on the Sat Nav
他進到93型裡面 打開衛星導航
and thought, "Wait a minute, that's not one of our systems."
一琢磨 "不對呀 這不是我們的那套系統"
He was right, it wasn't.
沒錯 那的確不是
Saab had developed, at vast expense, their own system
薩博自己開發了一套巨昂貴的衛星導航系統
because they thought GM's wasn't good enough.
因為他們覺得通用的系統不夠好
Eventually, General Motors had had enough.
終於 通用受夠了
In 2010, as Saab was finishing the job
在2010年 當薩博完成了
of turning the Vauxhall Insignia into the completely different 95,
將沃克斯豪爾·英西哥尼亞改為完全不同的95型後
the Detroit giants pulled the plug.
底特律的巨頭關閉了工廠
The brand itself will have some residual value,
薩博這個品牌還有些剩餘價值
the company's facilities are likely to be broken up and sold.
公司部門將被拆散出售
At the last minute, a buyer was found,
最後關頭 找到了買家
a Dutchman who owned a small car company called Spyker.
一名擁有一家小汽車公司"世爵"的荷蘭人
To get the money rolling in,
為了吸納資金
he needed to get the new 95 into the showrooms as quickly as possible.
他需要盡快將新95型放進展廳
That meant it went on sale before it was finished.
等於是還沒有完成 就開始了銷售
And that meant it was a commercial flop.
意味著新95型成了一台商業觸發器
And so in January of this year, Saab closed down for good.
今年一月份 薩博終於關門大吉
- So, this is the last ever Saab that we are in right now. - Yeah.
-我們乘坐的是最後一輛薩博了 -是了
This is the final chapter. I really like the way they did things.
這是最終章 我真的喜歡他們做事的方式
- I am going to miss Saab. - It is a sad day. - It is sad.
-我會想念薩博的 -傷心的一天啊 -的確是
It is a sad day, too, for the Swedish town of Trollhattan
這也是令瑞典特羅爾海坦鎮傷心的一天
where for 60 years the workforce has tried to be different, to be better.
60年的努力工作 試圖與眾不同 試圖做得更好
To think outside the box.
試圖創造性地去思考問題
And, of course, it's very sad for our architect friend who,
當然 對我們的建築設計師朋友來說也是傷心的一天
from now on, will have to buy a five series.
從現在起 他不得不買寶馬5繫了
Still, there's one crumb of comfort because let's not forget
但這多少是令人欣慰的 因為我們別忘了
whose engines powered the first-ever jet fighter.
是誰的引擎托起了第一架噴氣機
BMW.
