Injongo kukufikelela kwirekhodi "eliluhlaza", oko kukuthi, ukugqiba ukunyuka kwentaba ngaphantsi 8min57,118s , ixesha elenziwe nguRhys Millen kwi-eO PP100 yakhe, kunye ne-100% yombane, kunyaka odlulileyo.
Mhlawumbi wawungekazalwa ngethuba iVolkswagen yaqala ePikes Peak, yayingo-1985. Kwakungaloo nyaka mnye apho uphawu lwaziveza ngeVolkswagen Golf MK2. Kodwa njengoko unokuthekelela, yayingeyiyo nayiphi na iGalufa - yayiyi Igalufa yeBiMotor . Iinjini ezimbini, enye kwi-axis nganye. Phantse kumashumi amathathu eminyaka eyadlulayo…
Yabakho njani igalufa eneenjini ezimbini?
Ngo-1983, unyaka omangalisayo kuba yayingulowo ndazalelwa kuwo, iVolkswagen yagqiba ekubeni ibeke iinjini ezimbini kwiScirocco ukuze ikhuphisane kumbutho weQela B. Ukongeza ekuphuculeni ukusabalalisa ubunzima, iinjini ezimbini ze-1.8 litre, ezinqwenelekayo ngokwemvelo kunye ne-180 hp nganye, zinikeze amandla apheleleyo e-360 hp. Injongo yayikukukhawuleza njengemoto yereferensi ngelo xesha, i-Audi Quattro.
Into eyayimangalisa ngeQela B nayo yayiyintlekele, amandla ababaxiweyo achaza iingozi ezithe rhoqo, maxa wambi ezibulalayo, ezikhokelele ekubhangisweni kwalo ngo-1986. Ngale ndlela, iVolkswagen yayibekela bucala iprojekthi ye-injini yamawele iScirocco.
Umbono, nangona kunjalo, wawuhambele phambili kakhulu ngexesha kwaye usetyenziswe kakubi ukuba uchithe. Yiyo loo nto, ngo-1985, i-brand yathatha ulwazi kunye namava esele inawo kwiScirocco kwaye yayisebenzisa kwiGalufa. Injongo: Yakha imoto ekwaziyo ukoyisa iPikes Peak. Ngokunyuka okukodwa, ukuba kuhambe kakuhle, ukuhanjiswa kweendaba ezifanayo zexesha lonke le-rally lalinokwenzeka.
Ke, ngaloo nyaka iGolf BiMotor yayilungele ukunyuka kwasentsomini. I-mudguards eyandisiweyo, ngasemva kunye ne-tubular sub-frame kunye neenjini ezimbini ezilungiselelwe i-Oettinger, ngoku kunye ne-195 hp nganye. Iyonke ibiyi-390 hp kunye nokwenzeka kokufika kwi-100 km/h ngemizuzwana eyi-4.3 kuphela. Nangona kunjalo, iinjini ezinqwenelekayo ngokwendalo zazingenawo “umphunga” ofunekayo wokuphatha umoya obhityileyo okwincopho ye-4000 yeemitha ukuphakama.
unyanzeliso lophawu
Ngowe-1986, uphawu lwaseJamani lwabuya nemoto ehlaziyiweyo. Ii-injini ezinqwenelekayo ngokwendalo zatshintshwa ziiyunithi ezine-supercharged, zikulungele kangcono ukujongana nobude obuphezulu, zamkela ii-injini ezimbini ezine-turbocharged ze-1.3 litre eziphuma kwi-Polo kunye ne-250 hp nganye. Babambe indawo yesi-4, abakwazanga ukuhambisana ne-Audi Sport Quattro S1 ephumelele ugqatso.Andifuni kunikezela, kunyaka olandelayo, ngo-1987, iVolkswagen yabuya neyona ndlela inamandla yeGolf BiMotor. KwiGalufa bekungekho nto ingako. Yayingeyonto ngaphandle kwe-silhouette efakwe kwi-tubular chassis. Ii-injini ngoku zazinyuswe ngobude, kwaye zaba ziibhloko ezimbini ze-1.8, ezine-16v ezine-cylinder turbo, nganye ine-326 hp, iyonke i-652 hp. . Wayenza banzi imoto wafaka amavili amakhulu namatayara. Lilonke, kunye neenjini ezimbini ubunzima imoto nje 1020 kg.
Ngokwengxelo, i-VW Golf BiMotor ngeli xesha, ngo-1987, yayikhokela uqeqesho lokunyuka kwePikes Peak, kodwa ngelishwa yayiza kuphelela kwiingxaki phambi kokuba ifikelele encotsheni, ilahle ugqatso.
IVolkswagen Golf BiMotor isekho, ikwimyuziyam yophawu eWolfsburg, kodwa ngeli xesha iVolkswagen inomnye umlinganiswa ophambili emayisiwe ePikes Peak.
