Idatulutsidwa koyamba mu 1955, a Citron DS zinali zam'tsogolo ndipo ambiri amati zikadali choncho. Kaya inali kuyimitsidwa kwatsopano kwa hydropneumatic kapena nyali zakutsogolo, chilichonse chokhudza DS chidachiyika patsogolo pa nthawi yake, kupatula, modabwitsa, injini yake, yomwe idayamba m'ma 1930s.
Tsopano, podziwa kuti magalimoto amagetsi, kwa ambiri, tsogolo la galimoto, a British ochokera ku Electrogenic adaganiza zopanga maluwa a futuristic a DS powapatsa galimoto yamagetsi.
Kuti achite izi, "adatenga" Citroën DS21 ya 1971, adachotsa injini yakale ya 2.0L ya petrole ya 2.0L ndikuyika m'malo mwake injini yamagetsi yotchedwa Hyper9, yomwe imapereka mphamvu za 122 hp (90 kW) ndi 235. Nm imatumizidwa kumawilo akutsogolo.
Kupatsa mphamvu galimoto yamagetsi timapeza batire yokhala ndi mphamvu ya 48.5 kWh yomwe imalola kuyenda 225 km pakati pa milandu. Izi zikatha, chojambulira chamkati cha 29 kW chimakulolani kuti mubwezeretse kudzilamulira konse mu maola awiri okha!
Kwa iwo omwe akufuna kuyimitsa nthawi zambiri pamasiteshoni othamangitsira, Electrogenic imapereka batire yayikulu yokhala ndi mtunda wa 322 km.
kusintha kokha chimene chiri chofunikira
Inde, kusintha kuchokera ku injini yoyaka moto kupita ku yamagetsi ndikusintha kwakukulu. Komabe, chowonadi ndi chakuti, nthawi iliyonse ikatha, Electrogenic inasankha kusunga chiyambi cha chitsanzo cha Chifalansa, chinthu chomwe chikuwonekera kwambiri ndi kusowa kwa kusintha kokongola mkati ndi kunja.
Ma gearbox oyambira omwe ali ndi chiwongolero chowongolera akadalipo, ndikupangitsa Citroën DS iyi kukhala yamagetsi ina yokhala ndi gearbox yamanja, yankho lomwe lidawonedwa kale pamtundu wa Opel Manta GSe ElektroMOD.
Chizindikiro chimenecho "chikunena" kuti Citroën DS iyi yayikidwa magetsi.
Kuyimitsidwa kwa hydropneumatic kuliponso, ngakhale kutayika kwa injini yoyaka moto yomwe idatsimikizira kuti ntchito yake idasinthidwa. Tsopano ili ndi pampu yamagetsi yamagetsi ya hydraulic yomwe imakhala yabata kwambiri kuposa momwe idayambira poyamba.
Ndiwoyang'anira zamagetsi zamagetsi monga Jaguar E-Type, Volkswagen Beetle, Triumph Stag kapena Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, Electrogenic sinawululebe kuchuluka kwa ndalama zosinthira Citroën DS kukhala 100% yamagetsi yamagetsi.
Ponena za kusinthaku, wotsogolera komanso woyambitsa nawo Electrogenic, Steve Drummond, adati: "Cholinga cha kusinthaku ndikukulitsa mawonekedwe agalimoto agalimoto (…) Citroën DS ndiyabwino kutembenuza magetsi chifukwa imalola kuti pakhale bata. kuyendetsa galimoto kuti igwirizane ndi khalidwe la galimotoyo."
