Ngokukhawuleza ukuba i iVolkswagen Golf R yaqaliswa, izinto ezimbini zazingenakuphepheka: umdyarho wokutsala ngokuchasene nabachasi bayo abakhulu - iMercedes-AMG A 35, i-Audi S3 kunye neBMW M135i - kunye nokutyelela kwibhanki yamandla. Ijelo lika-Archie Hamilton loMdyarho weYouTube alizange lichithe xesha lifumanisa ukuba eyona mveliso inamandla yeGalufa yakha yanamandla ngakumbi kunento ayithengisayo.
Oku kuya kusanda phakathi kwabavelisi beemoto kwaye enye yeemodeli zamva nje ukumangaliswa kwibhanki yamandla yayiyi-BMW M4 (G82). Ngoku, ibilithuba leGolf R yokuqinisekisa eli “siko”.
Ixhotyiswe nge-2.0 TSI (EA888 evo4) ezine-cylinder kumgca we-injini evelisa 320 amahashe kunye ne-420 Nm yetorque ephezulu, le Golf R iyakwazi ukukhawulezisa ukusuka ku-0 ukuya kwi-100 km/h kwi-4.7s kwaye ifikelele kwi-250 km/h yesantya esiphezulu (okanye i-270 km/h kunye nephakheji ye-R Performance).
Kodwa njengoko u-Archie Hamilton Racing wafumanisayo, iVolkswagen yayilinganiswe kakuhle ngamanani eGalufa R, ethe yavelisa malunga ne-344 hp (340 hp), 24 hp ngaphezulu kwentengiso yohlobo lweWolfsburg.
Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba le yunithi evavanyiweyo yeVolkswagen Golf R ayifani nje kuphela, kodwa ayikagqibi ixesha layo lesiqhelo lokubaleka, njengoko yongeza kuphela ukuya kuma-241 km kwi-odometer.
Ngaloo ndlela, kunokwenzeka ukuba, nje ukuba eli xesha lokugijima ligqityiwe kwaye iindawo ezihambayo ngokuchanekileyo "zilungiselelwe", le "super-Golf" isafumana irekhodi eliphezulu kolu vavanyo. Kuhlala kuthi ke, ukuba silinde utyelelo olulandelayo lweVolkswagen hot hatch kwibhanki yamandla.
Senza i-caveat efanayo nakwezinye iimvavanyo zebhanki zamandla: azikho isayensi echanekileyo kwaye kukho izinto eziguquguqukayo ezinokuchaphazela iziphumo zokugqibela. Kwaye ngumbono olungileyo ukuqinisekisa ngovavanyo oluninzi kwezinye iiyunithi. Nangona kunjalo, sithathela ingqalelo ukusebenza okubonwe kugqatso lokutsalwa kweCarwow esikubonise lona, mhlawumbi iGolf R entsha ide ibe “namahashe afihlakeleyo”.
Khumbula ukuba iVolkswagen Golf R ibikwimarike ePortugal ukusukela ngoJanuwari 2021 kwaye inamaxabiso aqala kwi-57 000 EUR.
