Njengoba uMarkus Duesmann, uMqondisi Omkhulu wakwa-Audi, etshela izintatheli eceleni kokwethulwa kwe-e-tron GT entsha, ikusasa le I-Audi A1 akubukeki smiley ikakhulukazi.
Ngokusho kwakhe, mancane amathuba okuthi lo modeli ube nesizukulwane sesithathu. Lokhu kungenxa yezindleko zokufakwa kukagesi kwamamodeli ahlangene kanye namazinga okuphepha adingeka ngokwandayo, okuthi uma esehlangene, aholele ekwehleni kwesilinganiso senzuzo esigabeni B.
Mayelana ne-A1, uDuesmann uthe: “Engxenyeni ye-A1, sinezinye izinhlobo zemikhiqizo ezisebenza lapho futhi eziphumelela kakhulu, ngokukhiqizwa okuphezulu kakhulu, yingakho singabaza ikusasa le-A1”.
Yini elandelayo?
Nakuba umlandeli oqondile we-Audi A1 ebonakala engenakwenzeka, lokhu akusho ukuthi uhlobo lwe-Ingolstadt luzoyeka ukuba nemodeli ebekwe ngaphansi kwe-A3.Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Mayelana nemodeli yezinga lokungena yesikhathi esizayo ye-Audi, u-Duesmann useyikhombile indlela, futhi akumangazi ukuthi iSUV, lapho isikhulu sathi: “Impela sizohlinzeka nge-Q2 nokunye okunjalo (…) Lokhu kungaba izinga lethu elisha lokufaka; angeke senze noma iyiphi imodeli ibe mncane”.
I-Audi A2 ibuyile?
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, elinye ithuba libonakala likhona etafuleni: ukubuya kwe-Audi A2. Kulokhu njengemodeli kagesi engu-100%, into engenzeka yahlolwa eminyakeni emibili edlule lapho kuvulwa i-AI:ME prototype.
Mayelana nalokhu kubuya okungenzeka, uDuesmann uveze: “Mhlawumbe hhayi ngalo mklamo, kodwa ngiyayithanda i-A2. Vele, sixoxe nange-A2. Ngakho kungaba i-A2 noma i-“E2”, noma i-A3 noma i-“E3”. Okwamanje iphezu kwetafula”.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umqondisi wakwa-Audi wathi uhla lwamamodeli anenjini evuthayo kufanele luncishiswe, ethi: “Kufanele sehlise (…) Uma sibheka i-e-tron ye-Q4 , sinemodeli lapho sinemikhiqizo efanayo evuthayo. injini futhi asifuni neze ukuba nephothifoliyo efanayo kugesi”.
Uphethe ngokuthi: “Senza izimoto ezithile zikagesi ngoba singakwazi ukunikeza ukusebenza okwengeziwe, ngakho ngokuqinisekile sizonciphisa iphothifoliyo yamamodeli omlilo eminyakeni engu-10 ezayo. Kufanele sikwenze futhi sizokwenza”.
