Ngokusho komkhiqizo, eminyakeni engu-35 edlule iMercedes-Benz 190 (W201) yaphawula isahluko sokuqala emlandweni we-C-Class. Kodwa imodeli ye-190, eyethulwa ngoDisemba 8, 1982, ngokwayo, iyinganekwane imboni yezimoto. Kangangoba sase sike sayixoxa indaba, nakuba “ikhulunywe kabi” yemodeli yoguquko.
Indaba ngemuva kweW201 yaqala ngo-1973, lapho abakwaMercedes-Benz beqoqa imibono yokwakha imoto esezingeni eliphansi. Inhloso: Ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli, ukunethezeka nokuphepha.
Ngemva kokuqala ukukhiqizwa eSindelfingen, ngokushesha yadlulela embonini yaseBremen, okuseyisikhungo esikhulu sokukhiqiza se-C-Class, eyalandela i-190 ngokusebenzisa imodeli ye-W202 eyethulwa ngo-1993.
Kuze kube ngu-August 1993, lapho imodeli ithathelwa indawo C-Class, cishe 1 879 630 630 W201 onobuhle zase kukhiqizwa.
Nasemqhudelwaneni
Eyaziwa ngamandla ayo nokuthembeka, i-190 yamukele ukuqokwa kwe-C-Class kusukela ngo-1993, kodwa ngaphambi kwalokho ibivele yaziwa ngempumelelo eminingi emhlabeni, njengoba isifinyelele neziqophamlando ezimbalwa njengemoto yomjaho ku-German Touring Championship (DTM).
Namuhla i-W201, eyakhiqizwa phakathi kuka-1982 no-1993, iyimodeli ehehayo enokuheha kweyakudala.
Imodeli eyaziwa ngokuthi "i-190" noma "i-Baby-Benz", yagubha ukuqala kwayo ngezinjini ezimbili zikaphethiloli ezine-cylinder ezine: 190 kwakuyigama elibizwa ngokuthi inguqulo efakwe injini engu-90 hp. I-190 E, uphethiloli onesistimu yomjovo, yayinamandla angu-122 hp.
Okwamanje abakwaMercedes-Benz sebenwebe uhla ngokukhiqiza izinguqulo ezimbalwa: i-190 D (72 hp, kusukela ngo-1983) yaziwa ngokuthi “i-Whisper Diesel” futhi kwakuyi- Imoto yomgibeli ekhiqizwa uchungechunge lokuqala ene-soundproofing kwenjini.
Ngo-1986, imodeli efakwe injini ye-Diesel ku-190 D 2.5 Turbo version, ne-122 hp, yasungulwa, yafinyelela amazinga amasha okusebenza. Ukunqoba inselele yezobuchwepheshe yokufaka injini enamasilinda ayisithupha (M103) endaweni efanayo ne-W201, onjiniyela bomkhiqizo balethe ekukhiqizeni inguqulo enamandla yamasilinda ayisithupha 190 E 2.6 (122 kW/166 hp) ngonyaka ofanayo.
Kodwa i-190 E 2.3-16 edumile futhi yayinomthwalo wemfanelo wokwethula kabusha isekethe ye-Formula 1 e-Nürburgring ngo-1984, lapho abashayeli abangu-20 bashayela khona i-190 ngesikhathi somjaho womjikelezo. Yebo, ophumelele kube othile… Ayrton Senna. Kuphela kungenzeka!
I-190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II yayiyinguquko eyedlulele kakhulu ye-“baby-Benz”. Ngemishini ye-aerodynamic engakaze ibonwe kuMercedes-Benz elondolozayo, i-Evolution II yazuza amandla agqamile angu-235 hp, ibe yisisekelo semodeli yokuncintisana ephumelelayo eyabamba iqhaza ku-German Touring Championship (DTM) kusukela ngo-1990.
Eqinisweni, kwakusesondo laleyo modeli efanayo lapho uKlaus Ludwig waba ngumpetha we-DTM ngo-1992, kwathi aba-190 bamnika. Izihloko ezimbili zabakhiqizi beMercedes-Benz, ngo-1991 nango-1992.
Ngo-1993 kwethulwa imodeli ye-AMG-Mercedes 190 E Class 1 - isekelwe ngokuphelele ku-W201.
Ukuphepha kanye nekhwalithi ngaphezu kwakho konke
Ekuqaleni, imodeli bekuyinhloso yokufakwa kwezixazululo zokuphepha ezisebenzayo nezingenzi lutho. Ngokuphepha okungenzi lutho, bekubalulekile ukuhlanganisa isisindo esiphansi namandla aphezulu okumunca amandla lapho kushayisana.
Ngemigqa yesimanje, etholwe ngaphansi kokuqondisa kukaBruno Sacco, imodeli ibilokhu ivelele nge-aerodynamics yayo, nge-coefficient ye-aerodynamic encishisiwe.
Ikhwalithi kwakungelinye iphuzu elingakaze likhohlwe. Imodeli yabhekana novivinyo olude, olunzima futhi olunzima. Bheka lapha ukuthi izivivinyo zekhwalithi zeMercedes-Benz 190 zazinjani.
