Ngaphambi kokuba sikubonise i-«puppet ewisa ibhulukhwe yakhe», masibeke umxholo emxholweni.
Ngeminyaka yoo-80 i-Audi yaphumelela lonke ukhuphiswano ebibandakanyeka kulo. Konke. EYurophu, uninzi lweminyaka yee-1980, ukongama kwe-Audi quattro kwiWorld Rally Championship kwakungenakuphikiswa. Kwaba njalo ngoxa babelapho.
Kodwa kwakukho ingxaki. E-US, imarike ebalulekileyo ye-Audi, akukho mntu wayefuna ukwazi malunga ne-World Rally Championship ngelize.
Ngale nto engqondweni, u-Audi wagqiba ekubeni angenele uBuntshatsheli beTrans-Am nge Audi 200 quattro Trans-Am . A imodeli nge drive-wheel ezine (ngokucacileyo), 2.1 l injini ngaphezu 600 hp kunye Hans-Joachim Wanamathela kwivili. Isiphumo? Isibhozo siphumelele kwimidyarho eli-13.
Ukubethwa kuka-Audi kumaMerika kwakukhulu kangangokuba iTrans-Am yagqiba ekubeni izithintele zonke iimoto ezazinenkqubo yokuqhuba amavili onke kunye nenjini “engeyoyaseMelika”. Ukulingana nalaa mntwana umoshakeleyo ongumnikazi webhola agoduke nebhola ephantsi kwekhwapha nanini na xa ephulukene… (ukuba uyafunda, le yeyakho André Marques!)
Ivaliwe? Akhongxaki
Ivalwe kwi-Trans-Am - emva kwayo yonke into, bephethe ibhola - i-Audi yasuka "kwimipu kunye nempahla" ukuya kukhuphiswano lobuntshatsheli obufanayo, kodwa ngemimiselo engaphantsi kwemiqobo: i-IMSA GTO.
Audi 90 IMSA GTO
I-chassis yeTubular, ii-injini ezitshajiwe kakhulu, inkqubo yokuqhuba amavili onke, iskim sokunqunyanyiswa simahla, kuhle… i-IMSA GTO ibijongeka nje njengeemoto zabakhenkethi. Isiphumo? Indawo entsha yakwa-Audi.
Konke ngokuchasene noHans-Joachim Stuck
Ngethamsanqa, xa kufikwa kumboniso, amaMelika anika i-1000 ukuya ku-0 kubantu baseYurophu. Kwaye kunikwe ukuphakama kwe-Audi 90 IMSA GTO, omnye wabachasi wenza isitika esinobuso bukaHans-Joachim Stuck (umqhubi we-Audi) kunye nomqondiso onqatshelwe phezulu.
Impendulo ka-Hans-Joachim Stuck yayingenakuba yinto ehlekisayo kunye ne-quirky. Iqela le-Audi lifumene unodoli owawisa ibhulukhwe yakhe waza wayifaka kwifestile engasemva ye-Audi 90 IMSA GTO.
Isebenze njani inkqubo yokuwisa ibhulukhwe? — Andikholelwa ukuba ndiyibhale nje le nto. Umatshini wawulula: UHans-Joachim Stuck wayenentambo ecaleni komnyango eyayidityaniswe ngentambo kwi-dummy kwifestile yangasemva. Nanini na xa ephumelele umntu okhuphisana naye, ipimba… wayebonisa umsila wakhe kukhuphiswano. Kuyahlekisa!
Kule vidiyo (ngezantsi), uHans-Joachim Stuck uthi usasebenzisa le doli kwimoto yakhe yemihla ngemihla. Uye waphela yintsini xa ethetha ngayo...
Jonga indlela esebenze ngayo:
Ngayo yonke le nto malunga nopopi owisa ibhulukhwe yakhe, ndandifuna ukubuyela kumxholo we-Audi kwiintshatsheli zesantya zaseMelika. Xa udibanisa ii-turbocharger ze-KKK kunye neenjini ezine-cylinder ezintlanu kuhlala kukho into eninzi yokubala. Kodwa lololunye usuku… emva koko, ibhola yeyam ?
PHAWULA: Ngaba uye wakwazi ukuqonda, kwividiyo, yintoni igama elithi Hans-Joachim Stuck walinika unodoli?
