Khumbula ukuba sithethe nge-Arteon, okanye i-ART3on, eyenziwe ngabaqeqeshwayo bakwaVolkswagen Umngeni woHlaselo lweXesha leHlabathi eSydney? Namhlanje sikuphathele enye iprojekthi yomsitho ofanayo owawubanjelwe eOstreliya, nethe yaphumelela enkulu, a IPorsche 968.
Le Porsche 968 yabaleka kwinqanaba eliphezulu leWorld Time Attack Challenge, iPro. Utshintsho oluninzi luvumelekile ngokwemiqathango yokumiswa, injini kunye ne-aerodynamics kwaye kwaba ngumbulelo kwezi ukuba iqela lePorsche likwazile ukuguqula i-968 ibe "i-monster" Umkhondo - njengoko ubona, utshintsho oluvunyelweyo lunzulu…
Ngomzobo okhumbuza imibala yeMartini Racing kunye ngaphezu kwe-800 hp i-Porsche 968 yazimisa njengeyona moto ikhawulezayo yokukhenketha kwisekethe esetyenziselwa isiganeko sase-Australia, i-Sydney Motorsports Park, isiphaluka esineekona ezili-11 ezisasazwe phezu kwe-3.93 km.
IPorsche 968 inegama kuphela...
I-968 ephumelele i-Porsche's World Time Attack Challenge phantse inegama elisisiseko kunye nomlinganiselo, njengoko phantse yonke enye into iye yaphuculwa kakhulu kunye notshintsho, ukuqala nge-injini. Umgangatho we-4-cylinder, i-3.0 l, yatshintshwa ngokunzulu, yagcina kuphela i-crankshaft yokuqala - ngenxa yemimiselo - umsebenzi owenziwe ngu-Elmer Racing.
I-injini kwakhona BorgWarner turbo kunye ECU ethile, kunye nosulelo ukuba ye i-transaxle - apho i-gearbox kunye ne-different ziyiyunithi enye - kwaye i-gearbox inezantya ezintandathu.
I-800 kunye ne-horsepower efana ne-debited yayiyi-conservative ukubheja, njengoko iphethe i-injini eyahlukileyo, kunye ne-4.0 l, kunye nezixhobo "eziqingqwe" ngokuthe ngqo kwiibhloko ze-aluminiyam, ezikwazi ukuhambisa i-1500 hp yamandla.
Ukunqunyanyiswa kwafunyanwa njengelifa kwicandelo labakhenkethi be-GT3.
Ekugqibeleni, i-aerodynamics yayiyeyona bheji enkulu yeqela, eyayinoncedo lwangaphambili F1 injineli . Ngaloo ndlela, i-968 esetyenziswe kwisiganeko sase-Australia inephiko elikhulu langaphambili kunye nephiko elenziwe nge-carbon fiber. Ukongeza kwii-appendages ze-aerodynamic, icandelo langaphambili kunye ne-mudguards zisebenzisa i-carbon fiber.
Ixesha le-1min19,825s yayizishumi ezimbalwa ukusuka kwirekhodi elisemthethweni lesekethe (1min19.1s), ebekwe ngumqhubi weFomula 1 uNico Hülkenberg, xa wayebaleka kwiFormula A1 Grand Prix yabahlali ababodwa, ngo-2007. Umbono wakho wokusebenza kwale 968, iimbaleki ibe… 10 imizuzwana kude(!).
