I-Diesel yokuqala ukugqiba kwi-10 ephezulu ye-Dakar yabuyiselwa yi-Nissan kwaye yabuyela kwindawo yayo yendalo phantse iminyaka engama-30 emva kweDakar yokuqala.
Akukho mathandabuzo okuba ii-Diesels ziqhelekile iinjini kuwo wonke umhlaba. Jonga nje uhlelo lwamva nje lweDakar 2016, apho umFrentshi uStéphane Peterhansel waphumelela eqhuba iPeugeot DKR16 ka-2008, exhotyiswe nge-V6 3.0 ye-twin-turbo injini yedizili. Kodwa kwakungasoloko kunjalo.
Umzekelo wokuqala ukukwazi ukubonakalisa ukusebenza kwe-injini ye-diesel yi-Nissan Patrol kwi-Dakar 1987. Ngelo xesha, imodeli yaseJapan yayixhotyiswe nge-2.8 injini ye-cylinder ezine kunye ne-148 hp yamandla, kodwa yayiyi-livery. ngeethoni ezimthubi kunye nenkxaso yeFanta ethe yatsala umdla kakhulu.
Nangona ingazange iphumelele ugqatso, iNissan Patrol – ehamba noMiguel Prieto waseSpain – igqibe kwindawo ye-9 jikelele, iphumelele impumelelo ekungazange kucingelwe ukuba inokwenzeka xa iqhuba iDizili.
Ukususela ngoko, le rallycar igugile yonke le minyaka kwimyuziyam yaseGirona, eSpain, kodwa ngo-2014, emva kokufunda ubukho bemoto, uNissan wayithenga, wayithumela kwiziko lobugcisa be-brand eYurophu kwaye waqala ukusebenza ngokukhawuleza ekubuyiseleni. iprojekthi.
“I-injini ibikwimeko elusizi, ibinomhlwa kakhulu kwaye ingavuki. I-asi yangaphambili nayo yonakele kakhulu, kodwa eyona nto yayimbi kakhulu yayisisijikelezo sombane, kuba yayidliwe ziimpuku”.
UJuan Villegas, omnye wabo bajongene nalo msebenzi.
Ngethamsanqa, ngoncedo lwemizobo yokuqala kunye neencwadana, iqela le-Nissan lakwazi ukubuyisela i-Patrol kwimeko yayo yangaphambili, kodwa iprojekthi ayiyi kugqitywa ngaphandle kokutyelela kwintlango yaseMntla Afrika. Unokumbona esebenza kule vidiyo ingezantsi:
