Imoto ayakhi injini, kodwa injini iyakwazi ukwenza imoto. Ungase ungavumelani, kodwa kunjalo. Futhi izinjini ezihamba phambili eziyi-15 - okungenani lezo esizikhethile - zimake ngokuphelele izimoto ezihlome ngazo. Babeyingxenye enkulu yesizathu sakhe sokuba, sokukhangwa kwakhe.
Ngabe iHonda S2000 ingaba yini ngaphandle kwesilinda esine-cylinder esikwazi u-9000 rpm? Noma i-Impreza engenaBoxer? Futhi ingabe ngidinga ukubhekisela kuzinhlamvu 2JZ-GTE?
Iminyaka yawo-90 ifanelwe ukukhunjulwa ngazo zonke izizathu nokunye, kodwa namuhla, ake sikhumbule izinjini esizibheka njengeziyingqophamlando kule minyaka eyishumi. Iminyaka eyishumi lapho ukulawulwa kokukhipha ukungcola kwaqala ukuthathwa njengento ebaluleke kakhulu futhi izinto zikagesi zahlasela izinjini. Kodwa futhi, ishumi leminyaka lapho ukushaja okuphezulu kwakusefana nokusebenza okumsulwa kanye nenjini efiselekayo ngokwemvelo yafinyelela emazingeni okusebenza okuhle kakhulu.
Lezi zibonelo ubucwebe bemishini obumsulwa, ngokuvamile obuhlotshaniswa nemishini ekhethekile - yilokho okwenzekayo lapho sidedela onjiniyela. Izinhlobonhlobo zezixazululo ziyagqama: kusuka kumasilinda amane kuye kwayi-12, i-atmospheric kanye ne-turbo, kanye nezizwe ezintathu - isiJapane, isiJalimane nesiNtaliyane.
Singanweba uhlu lube yizinjini ezengeziwe, kodwa kwakufanele kubekwe umkhawulo. Okwakusho ukushiya ngaphandle izibonelo ezinhle - njengamanye ama-V12 ama-Italian noma ama-V8 aseMelika - kodwa ekugcineni, laba abangu-15 abakhethiwe bafingqa ikhwalithi nokwehluka kwalokho okuphawule ishumi leminyaka lokugcina lekhulu lama-20.
Ingabe unazo ezinye iziphakamiso? Kushiye kumazwana.
