I-Audi A2 yayiyisizinda sobuchwepheshe nokuklama, abaningi beyibiza ngokuthi i-epithet yemoto yesikhathi esizayo - ikhulu le-18. I-XXI yayisiseduze… —, ikusasa lapho izimoto zizolula khona futhi zonga kakhulu, zibe namazinga athuthukisiwe okusetshenziswa kwendawo (ukuvumela izimoto ezihlangene), umphumela wenqubekelaphambili ekupakisheni, i-aerodynamics nezinto zokwakha.
Njengoba babenephutha (ikakhulukazi)...
Bekuyimoto yokuqala ehlangene ukwakhiwa ngokuphelele nge-aluminium, isixazululo esasisibone kuphela ngaleso sikhathi ku-A8, phezulu ebangeni ukusuka e-Ingolstadt, naku…Honda NSX.
Kungaba ngesinye sezici ezichazayo ze-A2, enye kube ukuklanywa kwayo okunqunywa imithetho ye-aerodynamic (uhlobo lwe-Kamm olungemuva kanye ne-Cx engu-0.28 nje) kanye nokuqina kobuhle bayo, ngokusebenza ngobuciko kwemigqa yayo futhi izindawo ezingaphezulu.

Umsebenzi womzimba we-MPV nokupakishwa okuhle kakhulu kwakusho indawo eningi, esebenzisekayo futhi eguquguqukayo kubahlali nemithwalo, ukwedlula kalula amalungu omndeni amancane ngaleso sikhathi ngisho namanye namuhla. Lokho naphezu kobukhulu obuhlangene kakhulu, ubude obungu-3.82 m nobubanzi obungu-1.67 m - isiqu esingu-390 l singaphezu kuka-380 l we-Audi A3 yamanje, isibonelo.

I-Audi A2 yayinezindleko zokukhiqiza eziphakeme kuneVolkswagen Golf, ephinde yabonakala enanini lokudayisa - into okunzima ukuyithethelela.
Enye inkinga yayihlobene nomsebenzi wayo womzimba we-aluminium. Ukulungisa izibonda kungase kubize imali eshisiwe—namuhla, ngokuncipha kwenani, sizobona ngokushesha umshwalense onikeza i-A2 ukulahlekelwa okuphelele kunokulungisa iphaneli eyonakele.
Kodwa-ke, labo abasenazo abafuni ukuziyeka, uma benikezwa isethi yezici ezichazayo, ezisabalulekile namuhla njengoba zazinjalo ngaleso sikhathi: imoto eyingqayizivele, ehlangene, evulekile futhi enomnotho ophezulu enekhwalithi ehlala njalo? Kunzima ukumelana, futhi ngaphandle kokungabaza, ikusasa lakudala.
Kusabalulekile? Yebo yebo...
Uma sibheka isimo sanamuhla sezimoto, esinezidingo ezinzima ngokwemibandela yokukhipha igesi, ngenxa yalokho, ukusetshenziswa, izimoto ezifana ne-Audi A2 kungaba impendulo engcono yokunqoba lezi zinselele, kodwa asizange… Sikhethe ukuya kwelinye icala.
