Phakathi neminyaka yama-70s, umbono we-a BMW 2002 negama elithi “Turbo” elibhalwe kubhampa ongaphambili esibukweni esibonisa ngemuva, bekuwumcimbi emigwaqweni emikhulu emhlabeni jikelele. Nokho, iminyaka yadlula, futhi i-BMW encane, naphezu kokulondoloza isimo sayo sodumo, ayizange isakwazi “ukwethusa” amamodeli eyahlangana nawo.
Kodwa-ke, lokho kungase kushintshe futhi sibonga inkampani ebizwa ngokuthi i-Gruppe5. Umqondo wale nkampani ulula: thatha a BMW 2002 yakudala futhi uyiguqule ibe yilokho okubonakala iyikho… Iqembu lesi-5 kusukela kuma-70s.
Inqubo iqala ngemoto "yomnikeli" ehlakazwe ngokuphelele. Ngaphezu kwenjini entsha — lena iyunithi esekelwe ku-S85, i-V10 esiyithole kwi-BMW M5 (E60). - iphinde ithole uchungechunge lwezingxenye ze-carbon fiber kanye nekhithi yomzimba eyenza ibe banzi (kakhulu), ukuze ikwazi ukuthwala amasondo anobukhulu obukhulu kakhulu, iqinisekisa ukuthi wonke amandla aya ku-asphalt.
Ngokubukeka kwakhe - cabanga ngomakhi womzimba ongakwazi ukwenqaba ama-steroid - angahlanganisa ngokuphelele kumasekethe kanye neQembu lesi-5 elidala.
Izinombolo ze-Gruppe5 2002
Ngokuqala kokukhiqizwa okuhlelelwe ihlobo, kuzokhiqizwa amayunithi angama-300 e-Gruppe5 ka-2002. Kulawa, angama-200 azobe efakwe uhlobo lwenjini ye-BMW V10, amandla anwetshiwe afinyelela ku-5.8 l kanye namandla okugxuma afinyelele ku-744 hp emangalisayo.
Amayunithi ayi-100 asele azobona i-V10 ikhula kancane, kuze kube yilapho 5.9 l namandla afika ku-803 hp (!). Okuhambisana nezinjini ezimbili kuzoba ngu-gearbox oyi-six-speed transaxle sequential.

Wonke lawa mandla kumele anyakaze abe mncane 998kg , okusivumela ukuthi sibone kusengaphambili ukusebenza… i-ballistics. Lapho amajika efika, i-Gruppe5 ithi imodeli izokhiqiza inani eliphansi le-1089 kg (!) - ngaphezu kwesisindo "esincane" sika-2002.
Ithuthukiswe yi-Gruppe5 ngolwazi lwezinkampani ezifana ne-Riley Technologies (eyaziwa ngokuthuthukisa ama-prototypes ancintisana e-Daytona) kanye ne-Carbahn Autoworks kaSteve Dinan, ezinikele ekulungiseleleni i-V10 enkulu, namanje akwaziwa ukuthi lesi silo sizobiza malini akugcini nje ngokuthobela imithetho yezokuphepha ye-FIA kodwa… kusemthethweni emgwaqeni.
