Ezaliswe ngokufana nePrototype 5 elindele ukubuya kweRenault 5-okanye iya kuba ngenye indlela- Renault 5 Turbo PPG luphawu lwexesha esele likude lophawu lweGallic.
Namhlanje "ingalo ebambeneyo" kunye namaJapan ngendlela yeRenault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, kukho amaxesha apho iRenault yaza yabambana neempawu ngaphesheya kweAtlantiki, ngokuchanekileyo ngakumbi neAmerican Motors Corporation (AMC) - leyo. ukwanayo neJeep.
I-Renault yayizakuba ngoyena mnini sabelo mkhulu we-AMC ngo-1980 kwaye yonyuse izabelo zayo ukuya kuma-49%, apho emva kweminyaka yeziphumo ezibi, ekugqibeleni yayiza kuthengisa izabelo zayo kwi-Chrysler eyayiza kufunxa i-AMC (kunye neJeep exabisekileyo) ngo-1987.
ukhetho olungaqhelekanga
Kwaba ngeli xesha, xa i-Renault yayine-AMC ngempumelelo, ukuba iiprojekthi ezifana nale Renault 5 Turbo PPG zazalwa.
Igama le-PPG livela kwi-PPG Industries, inkampani ephethwe lishishini lemichiza, umxhasi oyintloko we-Indy Car World Series ngelo xesha, eyayidume ngokucela ukudalwa kwezona moto zikhumbulekayo zePace kwimbali.
Bhalisa kwincwadana yethu
Kwi-1982, i-PPG Industries inselele i-AMC, i-GM, i-Ford kunye ne-Chrysler ukudala i-Pace Car ye-1982 ye-Indy Car World Series, kunye nesisombululo esivezwe yi-AMC sibangele ibali esikuxelela lona namhlanje.
Endaweni yokubheja kwakhona kwi-1980/81 AMC AMX PPG Pace Cars, i-AMC yagqiba kwelokuba inyuse iRenault 5 encinci (eyayithengiswa e-US njengeLe Car), inombono kasekela mongameli woyilo we-AMC, Richard A. (Dick) Teague.
Ukufana phakathi kweRenault 5 Prototype kunye ne-5 Turbo PPG kuya ngaphaya kombala.
Renault 5 (phantse) egameni kuphela
Ukuthatha ithuba lenkululeko yokudala enikezelwa yinyaniso yokuba i-Renault 5 Turbo PPG yiMoto yePace nje, uRichard A. Teague wanikela ngokukhululekileyo kwingcinga yakhe.
Ukuqala, wenza iprototype yakhe yabanzi kwaye yangaphantsi kune-5 Turbo II eyamkhuthazayo. Ukongeza, igxile kakhulu kwi-aerodynamics, inika imigca engaphantsi kakhulu kwe-angular kunaleyo iboniswe yiRenault 5s yangoku.
Ukongeza koku kunye nokwandisa "wow factor!" ukusuka kwiRenault 5 Turbo PPG, uRichard A. Teague wamnika "amaphiko engabangaba", isisombululo emva koko sithandwa kakhulu, ngoncedo lwe-DeLorean DMC-12 ethe yanikela ngamacandelo athile omnyango kule Renault 5 ingaqhelekanga.
Ipeyintwe ngemibala yeRenault, negama lohlobo kunye nomfuziselo obonakala ngokucacileyo kuyo yonke indawo, kunye namavili akhazimlayo eBBS afana nalawo asetyenziswa ngabakwaRenault 5 ababebaleka kudidi lwe-IMSA GTU, le Pace Car bekunzima nokungahoywa.
Hlala kanye kwindlu elandelayo
Kwisahluko soomatshini, iRenault 5 Turbo PPG yasebenzisa iCléon-Fonte ezine-cylinder Turbo injini ene-1.3 l kunye ne-160 hp ebonakala igcinwe kwindawo esembindini yangasemva. Ukunqunyanyiswa kwafunyanwa njengelifa kwiRenault 5s eyayithathe inxaxheba kukhuphiswano lwe-IMSA GTU ngo-1981.
Iwufezile uthumo lwayo njengemoto yesantya, iRenault 5 Turbo PPG yagcina igcinwe kwindawo yokugcina impahla, ibe yenye yeeMoto ezimbalwa zePace zelo xesha ezasindayo. Kuthengwe nge-50 lamawaka eedola (malunga ne-41 lamawaka eeuro) yi-Sunspeed (abanini beqoqo le-Madison-Zamperini), le yaphela ithengiswa kwi-Spaniard Teo Mártin.
Oku akuyi kuba yinqwelo yokugqibela yePace eveliswe yi-Renault ye-PPG Industries, emva kokuba izalwe i-Renault 5 Aero Wedge Turbo kunye ne-Renault Alpine, kodwa ibali labo lolunye usuku.
