Njengoba wazi, sithanda ukubuyela emuva. Vele uvakashele indawo yethu enikezelwe kokwakudala futhi uzobona ukuthi impilo yansuku zonke ye-Razão Automóvel ayikona nje ukubuyekeza nokuhlola amamodeli akamuva.
Namuhla sinqume ukubuyela emuva ku-1988 ukuze sikhumbule… umnikazi werekhodi. THE I-Renault 21 Turbo.
Kwakungu-1988 lapho iRenault inquma ukuthi iRenault 21 yayo edumile - uhlobo oludumile lwaseFrance olusezingeni eliphezulu - izovela encwadini yezimoto eshesha kakhulu emhlabeni.
Ngokusekelwe ku-Renault 21 Turbo Quadra, ngaleso sikhathi eyayivele inenjini 2.0 Turbo 175 hp kanye nokushayela ngamasondo amane, kulungise iyunithi yokwehlula irekhodi lomhlaba lejubane leqhwa lezimoto ezikhiqizayo.
Ngokuphambene nalokho obekungalindelwa, ukuguqulwa okwenziwe kuRenault 21 Turbo yasekuqaleni bekungebanzi kangako. Izibuko ezikhombisa ngemuva zikhishiwe, isingezansi semoto sivalwe ukuze kunciphe i-aerodynamic friction kanti namasondo asetshenziswa kwi-record break model ayefana nalawo akwi-series model.
Ezingeni lomshini, ukuguqulwa nakho bekukuncane. I-Turbo yasekuqaleni yathatha indawo ye-Garrett T03, ikhanda lesilinda lalungiswa ukuze kwandiswe isilinganiso sokucindezela, ama-camshaft ashintshiwe futhi, ekugcineni, ukuphathwa kwe-elekthronikhi kwalungiswa kahle ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nalokhu kucaciswa komshini okusha kanye namazinga okushisa angemahle.
Ukusuka esivinini esikhangisiwe esingu-227 km/h emigwaqweni eyomile, iRenault 21 Turbo inyukile yaba ngaphezu kuka-250 km/h ku… eqhweni!
Ekugcineni, i-braking. Njengesexwayiso, abakwaRenault banqume ukuhlomisa iRenault 21 Turbo nge-parachute system efana naleyo esiyithola kumadragsters.
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbili ezinde zokuhlolwa - okuhlanganisa i-moose ewela endleleni (eyase ihamba kancane) kanye nokwesaba umdobi ebuyela ekhaya ngemoto yeqhwa - ekugcineni, ngo-February 4, 1988, umshayeli wendiza uJean-Pierre Malcher, ifinyelele ku-250.610 km/h phezu kweqhwa laseLake Hornavan, eSweden.
Ngakho, i-Renault yafeza injongo yayo: ukufaka isicelo seRenault 21 irekhodi lomhlaba lejubane eqhweni lemoto yokukhiqiza. Kwadingeka silinde iminyaka engu-23 ukuze le rekhodi lehle.
Ngo-2011, u-Bentley wamema izinganekwane ezinkulu kakhulu ze-World Rally Championship, u-Juha Kankkunen, ukusetha irekhodi le-Renault 21 Turbo ngemuva kwesondo le-Bentley Continental GT Supersports.
Imodeli eyayiphethe le mishini yayilokhu:
Ngokumangazayo, imoto kanokusho yaseBrithani ishaye i-saloon edumile yaseFrance ngokubhalisa isivinini esingu-330.695 km/h. Naphezu kwakho konke, imodeli ye-Bentley yayinezinguquko eziningi kunalezo ezinconywe yi-Renault ngaleso sikhathi. Kuyaphawuleka, akunjalo?
Uma ngalo mbhalo, i-nostalgia ibambe inhliziyo yakho, nali ikhambi:
Ngifuna izindaba ezengeziwe!
