ngemva kwe Volkswagen ubelokhu egijima ngesivinini enqamula amaflethi anosawoti eBonneville nge- I-Jetta ngokusekelwe kumodeli yokukhiqiza futhi bafinyelele ku 338.15 km/h kwakuyisikhathi sika-Matt Farah wesiteshi i-The Smoking Tire ukusebenzisa imoto futhi… aphule irekhodi elizuzwe ngaphambilini 1 km/h, ukufika ku 339.57 km/h.
Isikhathi sokuqala i I-Jetta wavakashela e-Bonneville futhi wathathwa wumkhiqizo ngokwawo, owayakha ngenhloso eyodwa… isivinini. IVolkswagen idonsa ngamasondo angaphambili, ugearbox oshintshwayo onamagiya ayisithupha kanti injini isuselwe ku-2.0 TSI, kodwa ithole izinguquko eziningi, okuhlanganisa ne-turbo entsha futhi yaqala, ngokusho kohlobo, ukukhiqiza awu 608hp (Kuvidiyo uMat Farah uthi 550, kodwa idatha esemthethweni ikhombisa 608 hp).
Ngo-September IVolkswagen Jetta wayeseke wangenela umcimbi we-Utah Salt Flats Racing Association futhi wanqoba irekhodi ekilasini le-BGC/C (ikilasi le-Blown Gas Coupe), ehlula elangaphambili 335.5 km/h ukufinyelela 338.15 km/h.
Irekhodi elisha?
Nakuba kuvidiyo uMat Farah efinyelela 339.57 km/h akusho ukuthi iJetta yephule irekhodi layo… okungenani ngokusemthethweni. Ukuze irekhodi emathafeni anosawoti e-Bonneville libe ngokusemthethweni kufanele lifinyelelwe emcimbini futhi kufanele lithole isitifiketi sesivinini esinikezwe inhlangano, ngakho-ke akucaci ukuthi ijubane elitholwe yi-youtuber lizothatha indawo yangaphambili ezincwadini zokurekhoda.
