Esikhathini esingaphezu kwenyanga edlule, i-Porsche ithole ukunqoba kwayo kwe-19 kuma-Hours angama-24 eLe Mans, okwesithathu kulandelana. Umjaho lowo, ngaphezu koomakhenikha nabashayeli, ube ne-Porsche 919 Hybrid njengomlingiswa oyinhloko.
Imodeli yokuncintisana eyethulwa embukisweni wezimoto i-2014 Geneva Motor Show, eyethulwa ngaleso sikhathi ngenhloso yokucekela phansi ubukhosi bakwa-Audi emjahweni oyingqopha-mlando wokukhuthazela, imele iqophelo eliphezulu lobuchwepheshe emzini wakwaStuttgart. Ake sibheke: injini ye-turbo engu-2.0 litre eyi-four-cylinder engu-V ku-axle yangemuva, ehambisana nenjini kagesi eshayela amasondo angaphambili, izinhlelo ezimbili zokubuyisela amandla (i-braking and exhaust), i-carbon fibre kanye ne-aluminium chassis, nje 875 kg ngesisindo kanye nombukwane wonke we-aerodynamic.
Bonke lobu buchwepheshe besimanje busiza abashayeli bezindiza ngesondo lokushayela elisezingeni elilinganayo, eligxile kwezobuchwepheshe… kodwa kunzima ukudalula kubantu abajwayelekile. Ngokungafani nezimoto esizishayela nsuku zonke, ukusebenza kwesiteringi lapha kuhamba kakhulu kunokushintsha indlela.
Sekukonke, kunezinkinobho ezingu-24 ngaphambili namathebhu ayisithupha ngemuva, kunesikrini phakathi nendawo esigxilisa (cishe) yonke imininingwane ehlobene nemoto - ukugibela egiyeni, isimo sebhethri, isivinini, njll. Ukuma kwesondo lokuqondisa okuwunxande kwenza ukungena nokuphuma emotweni kube lula.
Izinkinobho ezisetshenziswa kakhulu zibekwe phezulu, zifinyeleleka kalula ngezithupha, futhi zivumela ukuphathwa phakathi kwenjini evuthayo namayunithi kagesi. Inkinobho eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka (16) kwesokudla isetshenziselwa ukubonisa izibani lapho idlula. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, inkinobho ebomvu (4) isebenzela ukukhipha amandla engeziwe ebhethri - "i-boost".
Amaswishi ajikelezayo angaphansi kwesibonisi - i-TC/CON ne-TC R - asebenzela ukulungisa kahle isilawuli sokudonsa, futhi asebenze ngokuhambisana nezinkinobho ezingaphezulu (eziphuzi neziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka). Ama-knobs anemibala ebomvana (BR) asetshenziselwa ukulungisa amabhuleki, phakathi kwe-asi yangaphambili nangemuva.
Okubaluleke ngokulinganayo izinkinobho ze-RAD nezithi OK (eziluhlaza), ezilawula isistimu yomsakazo - ukuxhumana nethimba, ukungalaleli umculo… Inkinobho ebomvu ethi DRINK kwesokunxele ikuvumela ukuthi usebenzise uhlelo lokuphuza lomshayeli, enye inkinobho enombala ofanayo ivuliwe. ohlangothini lwesokudla i-SAIL, yonga uphethiloli ngokungavumeli injini evuthayo ingenele. Iswishi ye-RECUP ejikelezayo ilawula isistimu yokuthola amandla.
Mayelana nama-paddles, abaluleke kakhulu aphakathi nendawo, asetshenziselwa ukushintsha amagiya. Phezulu kukhona ama-paddles alawula "i-boost" nalawo angezansi alawula i-clutch.
Kulula ukuhlobisa, cha? Manje ake ucabange ukuthi kufanele ulawule konke lokhu ngesivinini esingaphezu kuka-300 km/h...
