Zisibhozo zizonke DeLorean DMC-12 , Imoto evela kwi-movie ethi Buyela kwixesha elizayo, ihambele umnxeba e-Ottawa, isixeko saseCanada, apho iqela labalandeli liye lasondla ngokuthanda kwabo kwimoto yezemidlalo yaseMelika eyaziwayo iminyaka engaphezu kwe-30.
Abaninzi bayivile kodwa bambalwa abayaziyo iDeLorean DMC-12. Emveni kwakho konke, ziiyunithi ezingama-9200 kuphela ezaveliswayo yale modeli phakathi ko-1981 kunye no-1983.
Inkampani yeeMoto zeDeLorean (DMC) yasekwa nguJohn DeLorean, injineli yobuchwephesha esele enayo kwiCV yakhe uyilo lwePontiac GTO edumileyo. Ngaphandle kokubamba iindima zesigqeba kwiGeneral Motors, uDeLorean wayefuna ngakumbi. “Wayefuna imoto engaphelelwa lixesha kuneye Ford okanye iChrysler eneminyaka emihlanu ubudala. Ndandifuna imoto ngentsimbi engatyiwa, okanye i-fiberglass, eya kuhlala ngonaphakade,” utshilo u-Eric Vettoretti, umququzeleli walo msitho.
Ekuqaleni, injongo yayikukuthengisa imoto nge-$ 12,000 ukukhuphisana neCorvette - ngoko ke igama elithi DMC-12. Imoto yaphela kwimarike ye-$ 25,000, ngaphezu kwexabiso lokuqala. Kodwa leyo yayingeyiyo kuphela ingxaki kaJohn DeLorean. Ngokwemvelo, uDeLorean wabonwa njengesongelo kwiimpawu zaseMelika, ngoko waqala ukuvelisa kwifektri yaseBelfast, ngoncedo lukaRhulumente wase-Ireland.
Emva kobunzima bohlahlo lwabiwo-mali, imoto yakhululwa ngo-1981 nge 130 hp injini - ngoncedo lwe-2.85 l PRV (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo) V6 - kunye noyilo "lokungafi" olusayinwe yi-Italian Giorgetto Giugiaro. Ngokutsho kweVettoretti, iimoto zokuqala zazingenamandla kakhulu. "Yonke imiboniso, hayi ukuhamba", utshilo.
Imoto yaphela ingathengisanga ngokwaneleyo kwaye iprojekthi yashiywa ngokuqhubekayo ngabatyalo-mali. Kunyaka olandelayo, umseki we-DMC ngokwakhe watyholwa ngokurhweba ngeziyobisi, kwisikimu apho wayejonge ukunyusa i-17 yezigidi zeedola ukusindisa inkampani. Kamva wafunyanwa emsulwa yaye evalelwe, kodwa kwakusele kusemva kwexesha. UJohn DeLorean wayelishiya ngokusemthethweni ihlabathi leemoto.
Ngelo xesha bekuya kuba nzima ukucinga ukuba uDeLorean uya kuba ngumfanekiso wenkcubeko ye-pop, kodwa yiloo nto kanye eyenzekayo.
Bhalisa kwincwadana yethu
Imoto, yaguqulwa yaba ngumatshini wexesha, ifakwe kwitrilogy ethi “Buyela kwikamva” (Buyela kwikamva), yaye ngaloo ndlela wazuza udumo ehlabathini lonke. "Ndingatsho ukuba i-60% yabanini bathenga imoto ngenxa ye-movie", kusho uVettoretti. "Abanye i-40% bathenga imoto kuba befuna ukuphila iphupha, eyayiyi-slogan kaDeLorean ngelo xesha."
Nokuba uyathanda uphahla lweDeLorean DMC-12 okanye amaphiko engabangaba okanye hayi, imoto ephuma kumboniso bhanyabhanya othi Buyela kwiKamva iphawule isizukulwana esinemidlalo yescreen esikhulu, kwaye udumo lwaso luhleli kude kube namhlanje…mhlawumbi ngonaphakade.
