Kulo nyaka injini yakwaWankel kwaMazda ibhiyozela iminyaka engama-50 kwaye amarhe malunga nokubuya kolu hlobo lwenjini kuhlobo anamandla kunangaphambili. Kude kubekho (kwakhona) uqinisekiso lokuba ngaba siya kuba nomatshini omtsha we-injini ye-rotary, siyaqhubeka nokufumanisa i-ramifications ye-saga ye-Wankel.
Kwaye le yenye eyaziwa kancinci. I-Mazda RX-7 Evo Group B enqabileyo ka-1985, ukusukela ngo-1985, iya kuthengiselwa ifandesi ngomhla wesithandathu kuSeptemba eLondon, ngabakwaRM Sotheby. Ewe, liQela le-Mazda B.
Kwiminyaka yoo-1980, umqhubi waseJamani uAchim Warmbold wayesemva kweMazda Rally Team Europe (MRTE) eBelgium. Ekuqaleni iinzame zabo zijolise kuphuhliso lweMazda 323 Group A, kodwa loo projekthi yakhawuleza yalandelwa yiMazda RX-7 Group B ene-Wankel injini.
Ngokungafaniyo nezilo ezivele kolu didi – i-wheel drive ezine, i-injini yangasemva kunye ne-supercharged – iMazda RX-7 yahlala “iphucukile”. Kwisiseko sayo yayisisizukulwana sokuqala semoto yezemidlalo (SA22C / FB), kwaye njengemoto yemveliso yayigcina i-back-wheel drive, injini ngaphambili kwaye hayi i-turbo emehlweni. Kude neprototypes efana neLancia Delta S4 okanye iFord RS200.
I-injini, i-13B eyaziwayo, yahlala inqwenela ngokwendalo. Ukufumana amandla amaninzi, isilingi ye-revs ephezulu kuya kufuneka inyuke. Imodeli yemveliso ye-135 yamandla eehashe kwi-6000 rpm inyuke ukuya kuma-300 kwi-8500!
Nangona ukungabikho kwe-turbo kunye ne-traction epheleleyo, i-Mazda RX-7 Evo, njengoko iya kuthiwa, ikwazile ukufumana indawo yesithathu kwi-Acropolis Rally (eGrisi) ngo-1985. Yayikhona kuphela kwiintshatsheli zehlabathi ze-rally ngexesha le-1984 kunye no-1985 kwaye inyaniso mayixelelwe, le projekthi ayizange ifumane inkxaso eninzi kwinkampani engumzali. I-Mazda ithande ukuphuhliswa kwe-323 Group A - injini ye-cylinder ezine ene-turbo kunye ne-4-wheel drive. Kwaye ngokwembali, kuya kuba sisigqibo sobulumko.
I-MRTE 019, iMazda RX-7 engazange ikwazi ukukhuphisana
Iqela B laliza kuphela ngo-1986 kwaye kunye nalo, naliphi na ithuba lophuhliso olutsha lwe-RX-7. Ngenxa yemigaqo ekhoyo, iiyunithi ezingama-200 zokutshata ziya kuba yimfuneko, kodwa iMazda yayiza kwakha kuphela ama-20, njengoko uphawu lwaseJapan lwalusele lunesimo sokuhombisa kwiQela 1, 2 kunye ne-4. Kwi-20, kucingelwa ukuba zisixhenxe kuphela. yaxhonywa ngokupheleleyo, yaye enye yazo yatshatyalaliswa kwingozi.
Iyunithi ekwifandesi yi-MRTE 019 chassis, kwaye ngokungafaniyo nezinye i-RX-7 Evo, le ayizange ibaleke. Emva kokuphela kweQela B, le yunithi yahlala eBelgium, kwindawo ye-MRTE. Ekuqaleni kweminyaka ye-90, i-MRTE 019 yaya eSwitzerland - ngokusebenzisa umthengisi osemthethweni we-Mazda-, kunye nenye i-chassis kunye neenxalenye ze-RX-7.
Emva kweminyaka embalwa yanyamalala kwindawo, yaba yinxalenye yengqokelela yabucala, ngaphambi kokutshintsha izandla kwakhona kumnini wayo wangoku. Kwakulokugqibela, uDavid Sutton, apho i-MRTE 019 yafumana inkqubo yokubuyisela ukukhanya, eyathatha iinyanga ezintandathu, ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba zonke iinkcukacha zemoto zichanekile kwaye azizange ziphazanyiswe. Isiphumo sokugqibela yi-Mazda RX-7 Evo ekwimeko kunye neenkcukacha zokuqala zefektri.
Ngokwe-RM Sotheby's, iqinisekisiwe ukuba yiyo kuphela i-Mazda RX-7 Evo yeQela B ekhoyo kwaye mhlawumbi lelona Qela B lingasetyenziswanga kuphela.
