【图解】2010巴黎车展

In 1898 the world's first auto show was held in Paris at the Tuilleries Gardens. Only a few vehicles were on display, and people were so skeptical of this new mode of transportation -- Le Car -- that exhibitors had to drive their automobiles from Versailles to Paris to prove their validity.

1898年世界第一个车展在巴黎的Tuilleries Gardens开幕，当时只有几辆车展出，而人们也对于这种新型交通工具满腹狐疑，展商不得不开着展车从凡尔赛来到巴黎，只为了证明其可“行”性。

More than a century later, the 2010 Paris Auto Show is home to over 100 world premieres. Alternating years with Frankfurt Auto Show, Paris has become the platform for unveiling supercars and especially this year, electric vehicles. This year's line up includes vehicles from Ford, Jaguar, Peugeot, Land Rover, Citroen, Mercedes, Nissan, BMW, Fiat, Audi, Mini, Lotus, and Fisker Automotive. With the auto industry emerging from a few years of serious adversity, it's good to see a Paris show so fresh, stylish and future-leaning.

一百多年后，2010年的巴黎车展上有来自世界各地的100多家汽车厂商参展。与法兰克福车展每年一届轮流办的巴黎车展现已成为揭晓最新超级好车的最佳平台，而今年的主题则是电动车。今年的阵容包括了福特、捷豹、标志、路虎、雪铁龙、梅赛德斯奔驰、日产、宝马、菲亚特、奥迪、迷你、莲花和菲斯特等大品牌的靓车。在汽车市场过去几年不景气的大背景下，巴黎车展上能见到这么多创意新颖、造型别致、富有未来概念思维的好车实在是难得的好事。

1.Citroen Lacoste Concept

1.雪铁龙鳄鱼概念车

The perfectly French matching of Citroen and Lacoste brings to mind the GM 'fashion' cars of the 70s. This doorless, roofless concept was a hometown crowd pleaser, drawing woots from the French press on the show floor. C'est a-door-ab-luh.

雪铁龙和鳄鱼牌的完美结合造就了富有70年代通用老车质感、同时也有时尚先锋亮点的经典好车。无门无顶的设计受到法国本土观众的热捧，也令得法国记者们惊得目瞪口呆。（最后一句是法语，哪位懂得教一下？C'est a-door-ab-luh）

 

 

2.Saab 9-3 e-Power Concept

2.萨博 9-3 电动概念车

Saab introduced their first all electric car -- the 9-3 e-Power Concept. The e-Power is powered by a 135 kW (184 horsepower) electric motor which drives the front wheels through a single-speed transmission and reaches 0-60 in about 8.5 seconds with a top speed of about 94 miles an hour. We feel badly for the brand, whose survival isn't assured, but this all-electric wagon seems cool to us.

萨博研发出来他们第一款电动车——9-3型电动概念车。它的电能来自一个135千瓦（184匹马力）的电动马达，该车前轮驱动，一档调速，百公里加速需时约为8.5秒，最高时速151米/秒上下。对于该品牌一蹶不振的现状，我们很遗憾，但这辆全电动车看上去确实不错。

 

 

3.2012 Ford Focus ST

3.2012 福特福克斯 ST

 

Ford's new, catchy little hatchback is the "global high-performance" version of the forthcoming Focus that the automaker announced at the Geneva auto show. Targeting the Mazdaspeed 3 and the Volkswagon GTI, the ST boasts a turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine with a pretty kick-ass 247 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission and Ford's torque-vectoring power control system. The Focus ST gets a deeper front bumper with larger air intakes, a gaping grille which is hard to miss -- really, it's huge -- a hefty spoiler above the rear tailgate, wider side sills, a quirky rear bumper cover housing the central exhaust along with five-arm double-spoke alloy wheels. ST-specific front and rear fascia make for better aerodynamics and improved cooling efforts and give the model a more aggressive, sportier look.  Although the ST is only one of three versions of the new Ford Focus (alongside the new C-Max crossover and mid-size Mondeo), it's the one we're most excited about.

福特的这款新型的小巧四门轿车在日内瓦车展上即已公布，它凭借前作优良的性能表现很可能在未来即将投产。与主要竞争对手马自达极速3和大众GTI相比，福克斯ST的发动机是涡轮增压、排量为2.0的内缸直喷四轮驱动引擎，马力247匹足以击败任何同级别车系，而扭矩则也达到360牛米。在拥有六档手动变速和扭矩矢量马力控制系统的同时，这款福特车的前脸特别低，进气口和护栅都比前作大——真的很大——后挡板上有一块很大很重的扰流板……（后面的几句求高手指点啊-·-）福克斯ST特别的前脸和后仪表盘设计使得整车符合空气动力学，阻力较小，会产生车内冷却效果，最重要的是使这辆模型车看上去更加狂野更加运动。虽然ST只是新版福特福克斯三种不同型号之一（另外两种是 C-Max crossover和中型蒙迪欧），但它绝对是最值得期待的一款。

 

 

4.Kia Pop Concept

4.起亚Pop概念车

 

Although Kia has stepped up their game with catchy designs and new technologies, the Pop EV concept is still in risky territory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

虽然起亚在设计夺人眼球程度和新技术含量方面丝毫不落下风，但新的Pop EV 概念车依然是一款太过冒险、华而不实的“花瓶车”。

 

The 10-foot-long 3-seater with oblong diagonal side windows and claw-like headlights is a fully electric, zero-emissions vehicle that runs on lithium polymer batteries. Six-hour charge, 80 mile-an-hour top speed, and 100 miles on a charge.

这款3米长的三座车拥有诡异的斜椭圆型窗户，前大灯仿照动物爪子设计。该车完全电动，零排放，仅靠锂聚合电池即可驱动。充满电需要6小时，可跑161公里，最高时速可达145公里/时。

 

5.Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept

5.兰博基尼 Sesto Elemento概念跑车

 

The shockingly new Lamborghini Sesto has everything it needs to end the power war. The Sesto Element is said to hit 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Made of carbon fiber (developed in partnership with Callaway Golf), it's both light and more lithe.

令人疯狂的新款兰博基尼Sesto一出场，有关电动车最大马力的争论就立刻结束了。Sesto Element据说只需2.5秒就可以加速到百公里！由于周身由碳纤维制成，它不光轻盈而且柔软。

 

Seat frames have been ditched for a base that's shaped directly into the carbon fiber tub and covered with cushioning. The engine is a 5.7-liter V-10 and pushed out a monster 570 hp. Genius and brutal, we love it.

由于碳纤维模子自带一个凹槽，这辆车竟然连座椅框都没有，底座上只要覆盖一层座垫即大功告成（OMG）！该车引擎为十缸5.7升，马力达到令人吃惊的570匹。简直是天才之作，精致又不失野性。大爱！
