Ngesikhathi yethulwa embukisweni wezimoto iGeneva Motor Show ngo-1971 I-Lamborghini Countach LP 500 lalingenalo elilingana nalo emhlabeni wezimoto. Imigqa yekusasa yayingafani nanoma yini enye futhi, naphezu kokuba i-prototype, iqiniso liwukuthi akekho owayengenandaba nayo.
Kodwa-ke, naphezu kwakho konke ukunakwa okufanele emcimbini waseSwitzerland, lesi sibonelo sokuqala se-Countach LP 500 sasingenayo "impilo elula". Ngemva kweminyaka emithathu yentuthuko yanikelwa esivivinyweni sokuphahlazeka ngoMashi 1974 yase yanyamalala.
Ngo-2017, umlandeli wezimoto zakudala kanye nekhasimende elibalulekile le-Lamborghini likhumbule lesi sibonelo esiyingqopha-mlando futhi lethula inselelo kuhlobo lwe-Italian "Polo Storico": kungenzeka yini ukuthi udale kabusha imodeli okwakunezithombe zayo kuphela? Impendulo yayinhle futhi ngaleyo ndlela yaqala iphrojekthi ende nenzima, umphumela wayo manje oye wembulwa.
Sesha ngaphambi kokudala
Izinyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala azizange zisetshenziswe kuphela ekutholeni izingxenye ezidingekayo ukuze kwakhiwe kabusha imoto evezwe ngo-1971, kodwa futhi nokucwaninga ngokucophelela ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi yonke imininingwane ilungile. Amadokhumenti, izithombe, imidwebo yasekuqaleni kanye ne-akhawunti yezinye izisebenzi zomkhiqizo, konke kwasebenza ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi lo mdlalo uthembekile ngangokunokwenzeka kowokuqala.
Lokhu kuqinisekiswa ngu-Giuliano Cassataro, uMqondisi Wesevisi kanye ne-"Polo Storico": "Ukuqoqwa kwemibhalo bekuyisisekelo (...) Ukunakwa okukhulu kunakwe yonke imininingwane yemoto, ukungaguquguquki kwayo okujwayelekile kanye nokucaciswa kobuchwepheshe".
Lapho sekuqinisekisiwe "isizindalwazi" esihle, isinyathelo esilandelayo kwakuwukwenza kabusha i-chassis ye-Countach LP 500. Ngokungafani ne-Countach eyalandela, lena ayizange isebenzise i-chassis eshubhu kodwa kunalokho inkundla eyenziwe "i-Polo Storico" yaseLamborghini. iphuzu lokuklama kabusha nokukhiqiza ngokwezindlela ezasetshenziswa ngeminyaka yawo-1970.
Kwakuyizithombe ezinjengalezi lapho "Polo Storico" kaLamborghini aphendukela kuzo ukuze adale kabusha i-Countach LP 500.
Ukwethembeka ezindleleni zokukhiqiza zendabuko kwagcinwa lapho kwakhiwa kabusha umsebenzi womzimba (namaphaneli abunjwa ngesandla) nangaphakathi. Emkhakheni wezomakhenikha, izingxenye ezishintshayo kusukela ngaleso sikhathi zazisetshenziswa, zabuyiselwa futhi, lapho zingatholakali, izingxenye ezintsha zakhiqizwa ngokuvumelana nencazelo yokuqala.
Dala kabusha imigqa yasekuqaleni
Ukuze udale kabusha imigqa yokuqala, i-Lamborghini "Polo Storico" ibe nosizo olubalulekile lwe-"Lamborghini Centro Stile". Lapho, ithimba eliholwa u-Mitja Borkert, umqondisi wokuklama, lizitholele kwenye yezinselelo zalo ezinkulu.
Okokuqala imodeli yesikali esingu-1:1 yadalwa ngokusekelwe ocwaningweni olwenziwe yi-“Polo Storico” bese, ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ukulinganiswa kwakulungile, i-“Lamborghini Centro Stile” iphendukele ekumodeleni kwe-3D kwe-Countach LP 400 yokuqala. Sekukonke, lokhu umsebenzi wathatha cishe amahora angu-2000 wabe usuphindwa kabusha ukuze kwakhiwe kabusha ingaphakathi.
Lapho kwakhiwa kabusha amathayi, usizo lukaPirelli lwalubalulekile, okwathi ngenxa yezithombe nezinto ezigcinwe ezinqolobaneni ze-Fondazione Pirelli wasebenzisa izinhlelo zangempela zokudala kabusha i-Cinturato CN12 esetshenziswa i-Countach LP 500 e-Geneva, kodwa manje ngenhlanganisela yenjoloba yesimanje.
Ipendwe ngombala othi “Giallo Fly Speciale”, iLamborghini Countach LP 500 “izalwe kabusha” ingumphumela wamahora angama-25,000 omsebenzi futhi manje seyembulwe e-Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, lapho ingene khona ekilasini ama-prototypes. Ngokuqondene nenani layo, ayikavezwa, kodwa sibala ukuthi i-prototype “entsha sha” yeminyaka engu-50 ayishibhile.
