I-Alfa Romeo, iSitulo, i-Audi kunye neVolkswagen yimizekelo nje embalwa yeempawu ezitshintshileyo uWalter de Silva. Ukubuyela emva komsebenzi omnye wabayili ababalulekileyo kwishishini leemoto.
Ekupheleni kwale nyanga uWalter de Silva uya kurhoxa njengomlawuli woyilo weQela leVolkswagen. Isibhengezo esathatha imboni yemoto ngokumangalisayo, kwaye oko kuza ngaphandle kwezizathu zesi sigqibo ngokukhawuleza esinikwe - amahemuhemu ajikeleze ukurhoxa kwakhe amaninzi, kungekhona ngenxa yokuba uWalter de Silva uya kufikelela kwiminyaka yomhlalaphantsi ngoFebruwari kunyaka ozayo.
Ngaba kwakungenxa yehlazo le-dieselgate? Ngaba yayizizicwangciso zokugcinwa kweendleko kwiQela leVW (amasebe oyilo aqukiweyo) agxothe uWalter da Silva? Ingaba isihlalo osishiyile singenamntu siya kuzaliswa kwakhona? Kuyinyani ukuba akukho nto inokuphinda ithathelwe indawo, kodwa akuyi kuba lula ukufumana umntu okwaziyo ukuthatha indawo yendoda, kwangaxeshanye, inoxanduva lokuyila yonke imifuziselo yelinye lawona maqela makhulu amashishini ehlabathini.
Akunakwenzeka ukugxila kwi-43 yeminyaka yomsebenzi kwimihlathi embalwa. Kuya kuba nzima ngakumbi xa umsebenzi wakhe omkhulu uquka izithuthi, umzi-mveliso kunye noyilo lwangaphakathi – umsebenzi kaWalter de Silva wawuyincwadi enomqolo otyebileyo. Oko kwathiwa, hlala kunye nesishwankathelo esinokwenzeka somsebenzi wakhe omde, ngokwemvelo ugxile kwindima yakhe kwishishini leemoto.
Umsebenzi ophawulwe yimpumelelo
UWalter de Silva wazalelwa e-Italy ngo-1951, waza waqala umsebenzi wakhe kwi-Fiat Style Centre ngo-1972, eshiya ngo-1975 kwi-Studio R. Bonetto, apho wayesebenza kwindawo yoyilo lwangaphakathi. Ngo-1979, wathatha indima yomlawuli woyilo lwemizi-mveliso kunye neemoto e-I.De.A kwaye wahlala apho de kwangowe-1986, apho, emva kwexesha elifutshane kakhulu eTrussardi Design Milano, wathatha imisebenzi yomyili e-Alfa Romeo.
“Enye yezinto eziphambili kwisazisi esibonakalayo sika-Audi bububhali bakhe: igrille enefreyimu enye ( isakhelo esinye)”
Njengomlawuli woyilo we-brand yase-Italiya, waye yongamela kwaye wavuma uphuhliso lwezindululo zezona modeli zihlukeneyo. Kwakunjalo nge-155, ngu-Ercole Spada (I.De.A), kunye ne-145 enomdla, nguChris Bangle ophikisanayo kunye ne-GTV kunye ne-Spider nguPininfarina.
Kwaba ngesakhe isandla awathi uAlfa Romeo wafumana elinye lawona maxesha alungileyo (ukuba ayilona xesha libalaseleyo…) ngembali yakhe yamva nje, xa wayesazisa ngo-1997 nge-piu bello Alfa Romeo 156.
Yayisisiqalo sexesha elitsha elibonakalayo lophawu lwase-Italiya. U-Alfa Romeo uye wayishiya i-geometric, i-flat and creased style ehamba ne-brand iminyaka emininzi, kwaye yatshintsha ngolwimi lwendalo kunye nolucokisekileyo - ukudibanisa ubuhle kunye nokuqina ngendlela edibeneyo kunye neyomvisiswano, ephefumlelwe ngokubhekiselele kwi-50s kunye ne-60s, njengoGiulietta noGiulia.
AKUMELE UPHOSELWE: Kusenexesha elide lokulinda iNissan GT-R R35 elandela indawo yayo…
Ukususela kweli xesha kwakhona ifumana i-Alfa Romeo 166 kunye ne-147 - nangona le mifuziselo yafika yathengiswa ngexesha apho uWalter de Silva wayesele eyishiyile i-Alfa Romeo kwaye wafudukela kwiSitulo ngo-1998, ngokumenywa nguFerdinand Piech.
Isimemo sivela kumnqweno weVolkswagen wokuguqula uphawu lwaseSpain lube luhlobo lweVolkswagen Alfa Romeo: uphawu oluguqukayo, olubalaseleyo lwezemidlalo kodwa kwangaxeshanye luyinto eqhelekileyo. Kule nto, akukho nto ingcono kunokuba "uba" umyili ophumelele oku kwi-brand yaseNtaliyane.
UWalter de Silva uye wathobela. Ingqikelelo yeSalsa eyibenchmark kunyaka ka-2000 iya kusebenza njengombono weZitulo ezizayo. Ngelishwa, bekukho ukunqongophala kweemodeli ezigxininise le vein yezemidlalo eyenzelwe uphawu. Isimbo esitsha somntu ngamnye, esiguqukayo kunye nesiLatini esaqala ngaso uSalsa siza kubangela iimoto ezinophawu olusebenzayo noluqhelekileyo, olufana noAltea okanye uLeon.
"Umsebenzi omde, otyebileyo nomangalisayo, othathe iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amane, wakhokelela ekubeni afumane iCompasso d'Oro edumileyo ngo-2011"
Ukuthetha oko, asikaxoleli iQela leVolkswagen ngokungashenxisi iTango enomdla kumgca wemveliso. Bekuya kuba yimpumelelo:
Ngo-2002 uWalter de Silva wanyuselwa ukuba abe ngumlawuli woyilo kwindawo eyayibizwa ngokuba liqela le-Audi, eliquka i-Audi, iSitulo kunye neLamborghini.
Enye yezinto eziphambili zesazisi esibonakalayo se-Audi sayilwa nguye: i-grille yefreyimu enye, eyabangelwa ukuhlanganiswa kwegrille ephezulu kunye nesezantsi ibe yinto enye. Olu phawu, oluqhubekayo ukuza kuthi ga namhlanje, lunike uphawu lwe-Ingolstadt into eyomeleleyo, engapheliyo kunye neyothusayo yoyilo ebingenayo.
Iimodeli ezifana ne-2005 Audi A6, i-Q7 yokuqala, isizukulwana sesibini se-TT, i-Audi R8 kunye ne-Audi A5, leyo yokugqibela ibhekiswa ngu-de Silva njengomsebenzi wakhe wobugcisa, nayo yavela kwi-genius yakhe ngeli xesha. Kwi-2007, uMartin Winterkorn uthatha njengomongameli weqela leVolkswagen, emva kokukhokela i-Audi, kwaye uthatha kunye noWalter de Silva, ophakanyiswayo ukuba abe ngumlawuli weqela lonke.
Ukusukela ngoko, imisebenzi yakhe igxile ikakhulu ekudaleni nasekulawuleni inkcubeko kunye nendlela yoyilo eqhelekileyo kwiqela lonke, eqinisekisa ukuzimela ngokuyilayo kubo bonke. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba ukuzimela kokudala okupapashiweyo, phantsi kwe-baton kaWalter de Silva isiphumo saba yinto ekhulayo kunye negxekayo yokudibanisa i-aesthetic yazo zonke iimodeli, ngakumbi iimpawu zevolumu: iVolkswagen, i-Audi, iSitulo kunye ne-Skoda.
Ngaphandle kwezinto ezibonakalayo ezibonakalayo, indawo ebonakalayo ibonakala ixhaphakile: ubuhle obucocekileyo - kwezinye iimeko bujonge kwi-minimalism kwaye iphenjelelwa kuyilo lwemveliso -, umphezulu othanda ukuba mcaba kwaye unqunyulwe ngokungqongqo, udityaniswe ngumgca omnye okanye emibini ephawulwe kakuhle, izinto ezongeziweyo ezichazwe ngeecontours ezithe tye, ezineendidi eziphuma kakuhle.
Uluhlu lweemodeli kunye neengqikelelo lube lukhulu ukusukela oko wathatha imisebenzi yolawulo yoyilo jikelele yeqela, kodwa iimodeli ezifana neVolkswagen Golf 7 okanye iVolkswagen up!, Lamborghini Aventador okanye Audi Prologue zigqamile, ezibhengeze ulwimi olutsha lwegama, phakathi kwabaninzi. abanye.
Kulo nyaka, ngoSeptemba, wathatha njengomongameli we-Italdesign (efunyenwe yi-Audi kwi-2010), emva kokuhamba ngokukhawuleza komsunguli uGiorgetto Giugiaro kunye nendodana yakhe uFabrizio. Ngokurhoxa kwakhe, imisebenzi yakhe e-Italdesign nayo iya kunqunyanyiswa - nangona engene kwesi sikhundla iinyanga ezimbini kuphela.
Umsebenzi omde, otyebileyo nomangalisayo othathe iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amane, ngo-2011 wafumana iwonga leCompasso d’Oro, omnye wewona mahluko uphezulu awongwa umyili. Ngaphandle kokuhamba kwakhe, u-de Silva uya kuhlala edibene neqela leVolkswagen njengomcebisi, kwaye nangona kungekho zicwangciso zangoku ngekamva, masithembe ukuba umyili uya kuhlala esebenza.
