Yes!
Roadster 3.2
The
YES! Roadster 3.2 is the perfect conceptual advancement of the YES! and sticks
to its own principles: pure driving pleasure.
A
powerful 3.2-liter-V6-engine with 255 hp produces an uncompromising driving
machine, one that is powerful, vibrant in its performance and super-charged
with pasion. The result is an heir honouring its legacy yet adopting
trendsetting shapes and technology. Simply a revolutionary evolution!
Compared
to its predecesor, the new YES! has grown significantly. Larger engines and a
longer wheel base have resulted in more over - hang at the front as well as the
rear leading to a more stretched and full of suspense appearance of the
roadster. The wedge-shaped ascending side line and the racy accentuated wings
in the front and rear do remain the striking attributes.
For
the YES! Roadster 3.2 Turbo the concept was taken one step further: an
especially developed rear wing spoiler asures the necessary down force, to
bring 355 HP safely onto the street.
The
YES! Roadster 3.2 Turbo is a driving machine that relocates limits. The person
driving it has to be capable of accelerating 930 kg in 3.9 seconds to 100 km/h.
Manoeuvring it is a balancing act between dominating and being dominated. The
power is transferred unaltered onto the streets. This is what requires the Turbo's driver utter concentration. Rewarded with a unique and sensational
sense of driving. An experience you will never forget.
The
interior is the human-machine interface. This is where the driver takes the
command, feels the direct contact to the street, navigates and controls the
instruments.
The
high-strength aluminium-space-frame takes care of the passive safety. Also,
driver and passenger are protected by optional air bags if necessary.
High-quality materials combined with chrome and leather applications turn the
interior into a sporty unity. Optional equipment and accessories, for example
the modern multimedia navigation system and the three-way sound system, offer
wide space for individualisation.
With
variable camshaft settings the renowned V6 four valve engine equipped with
3,189 cc of engine displacement — in the naturally aspirated as well as in the
turbo version — combined with a max. torque already at 2,001 Rpm has
virtually an easy job with the 890 and 930 kg respectively of the YES! Roadster
3.2 and 3.2 Turbo. In doing so, the fuel consumpti on is only at 8,2 and 9,3
litre respectively on 100 km in the so called combined fuel consumption.
A
6-speed-manual transmission or alternatively the 5-speed-automatic transmission
(optional, only Roadster 3.2) together with a lengthwise build in powertrain
take care of the power transmission onto the rear wheels. A rather low shifting
effort and precise, short shifting travels allow fast and exact gear changes.
Light
double wishbones at the front and rear axle, adopted from race use, provide in
combination with the adjustable spring and damper elements a high
responsiveness and precise wheel guidance (optional sports suspension). The
steering - being adjustable in the vertical and in the longitudal axis -
supports this by its fingertip easy handling and direct set up.
Ventilated
brake discs on the front axle as well as on the rear axle provide a maximum
deceleration and a well balanced braking power - also during a continuous run.
The braking power is transferred by 4-piston fixed callipers onto the brake
discs. The pedal force is transferred directly in favour of a superior pedal
feel , optionally supported by a multi-channel ABS-system which is directly
derived from racing.
The
exhaust system, consisting of two exhaust pipes made of high-quality steel, does
not only release a powerful and individual sound via its two shape integrated
pipe ends but also meets the demanding emision standards (Euro 4 in Europe ,
Lev 1 in the U.S.). Optionally, you can obtain a stainless steel-version.
In
adition to the usual high level of passive safety, full-size driver's and
passenger's airbags are available for the YES! Roadster 3.2 and 3.2 Turbo. Just
in case.
We
want you to enjoy it as often as possible: open driving. Therefore, we have also
found space in the YES! Roadster 3.2 and the YES! Roadster 3.2 Turbo to store
the familiar easy to assemble soft top — made of Sonnenlandstoff — inside the
car, by also additionally providing space for some weekend luggage. Optional
and mostly for the cold season is the new hardtop - easily and quickly
assembled the YES! Roadster turns into a coupe!
