Ngemuva kweminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu inyamalala, iToyota Supra, amaPutukezi azoyikhumbula kalula njengoba iToyota Celica Supra, isizobuyela emigwaqeni. Nokho, ngemuva kwethu kunohambo olwaqalwa ngo-1978 kanye nezizukulwane ezine sezizonke, manje, ngevidiyo emfushane engaphezu nje komzuzu, sikumema ukuthi uthole… noma ukhumbule.
Yaqala ukwaziwa okokuqala cishe eminyakeni engu-40 edlule njengengxenye yohlobo lweCelica, iToyota Celica Supra yasekuqaleni yayishintshanisa amasilinda amane angu-2.0 litre inline six-cylinder enamandla asukela ku-110 kuya ku-123 hp. njengemoto yezemidlalo yeqiniso. Hhayi kuphela umphumela wokusetshenziswa kwezixazululo ezintsha, njengesistimu ye-brake disc yamasondo amane kanye nomjovo we-elekthronikhi, kodwa, ikakhulukazi, umthamo wokusheshisa owawuvumela ukuthi ihambe isuka ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h ku-10 kuphela, 2 imizuzwana.
Toyota Supra Amasilinda ayisithupha kulayini, njalo
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, ngo-1981, kokubili iSupra kanye nalo lonke uhla lweCelica kwabuyekezwa kusukela phezulu kuye phansi, kwavumela okuhlukile kwezemidlalo komkhaya ukuba kusetshenziswe amasilinda ayisithupha enjini ye-turbo, eletha i-145 hp ne-210 Nm. we-torque, lokhu kuyinguqulo kanokusho ye-L-Type. Amanani anele, isibonelo, imoto yezemidlalo yaseJapane ukwehla ngaphansi kwemizuzwana eyi-10 ngokusheshisa ukusuka ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h, ifinyelele, ngokunembe kakhulu, ku-9.8s.
Eminyakeni emihlanu ngemva kokwethulwa kwesizukulwane sesibili, ngokunembe kakhulu ngo-1986, iSupra yazuza ukuzimela. Ayiseyona ingxenye yeCelica, njengoba isiqalile nokuba nenkundla entsha kanye nohlu lwezinjini. Ngemodeli ezomenyezelwa, ukusuka lapho, inani elimangalisayo lamandla angu-200 hp, futhi, kusukela kumasilinda ayisithupha kumugqa. Okwakuthi, ngemva konyaka nje, nayo izoba ne-turbocharger.
Nokho, naphezu kwazo zonke lezi zinguquko ezibalulekile, kwakuzoba ngo-1993 kuphela lapho i-Supra yayizobhekana khona noshintsho olukhulu kakhulu. Iqala ngomklamo ohluke ngokuphelele kulowo okhonjiswe abanduleli bayo, iphinde yathola i-in-line six-cylinder, i-2JZ-GE, ehambisa i-220 hp. Ukuze kube i-2JZ-GTE edumile, kwengezwe ama-turbocharger amabili, aletha amandla afinyelela ku-330hp (280hp emakethe yaseJapan) kanye ne-torque efinyelela ku-431Nm. . Amanani avumela ukuthi isheshise isuka ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h ingakapheli imizuzwana engu-4.6, esele, kuze kube namuhla, njengeyona efunwa kakhulu iSupra. Icala, futhi, ngokubamba iqhaza kwakhe esaga esithi "Fast and Furious".
Ikusasa… ngezakhi zofuzo zesiJalimane
Nokho, eminyakeni eyishumi nanhlanu ngemva kokunyamalala kweSupra yokugcina, iToyota manje isilungiselela ukwethula isizukulwane esisha. Nakuba, kulokhu, ayisasebenzisi kuphela izinsiza zaseJapane nolwazi, kodwa futhi nezakhi zofuzo zaseJalimane, ngenxa yokubamba iqhaza kwe-BMW ekuthuthukisweni kwayo. Inketho ezokwenza ikusasa lezemidlalo laseJapan labelane ngenkundla neBMW Z4 entsha.
Ngeshwa, kubonakala kuqiniseka ngokwengeziwe ukuthi lesi sahluko esisha emlandweni we-Supra asifiki ne-inline-cylinder eyisithupha - injini esizoyibona kwi-BMW Z4 - kodwa ene-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6, kanye, ngaphezu kwalokho, ehambisana nemoto kagesi .
Kodwa-ke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yiziphi izimfanelo zeToyota Supra yesikhathi esizayo, umlando nesimo, okwakhiwe cishe iminyaka engama-40, akekho osusa kukho ...
