Ngokushesha nje lapho i- IVolkswagen Golf R kwethulwa, izinto ezimbili bezingenakugwenywa: umjaho wokuhudula izimbangi zawo ezinkulu - iMercedes-AMG A 35, i-Audi S3 neBMW M135i - nokuvakashela ibhange lamandla. Isiteshi se-YouTube soMjaho we-Archie Hamilton asichithanga sikhathi ukuthola ukuthi ingabe umkhiqizo onamandla kunawo wonke owake wawenza iGalofu unamandla angaphezu kwalawo okhangisayo.
Lokhu kuya ngokuya kuba umkhuba phakathi kwabakhiqizi bezimoto futhi enye yezinhlobo zakamuva ezimangazayo ebhange lamandla kwakuyiBMW M4 (G82). Manje, kwase kuyithuba leGolf R yokuqinisekisa leli “siko”.
Ifakwe injini engu-2.0 TSI (EA888 evo4) enamasilinda amane emgqeni ekhiqizayo 320 amahhashi kanye 420 Nm Le Golf R ikwazi ukusuka ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h ku-4.7s futhi ifinyelele ku-250 km/h ngesivinini esiphezulu (noma ku-270 km/h nge-R Performance package).
Kodwa njengoba u-Archie Hamilton Racing athola, iVolkswagen ilinganiswe kahle nezinombolo zeGolf R, okuvele ukuthi ikhiqize cishe u-344 hp (340 hp), 24 hp ngaphezu kwakhangiswa uhlobo lweWolfsburg.
Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi le yunithi ehloliwe yeVolkswagen Golf R ayigcini nje ngokujwayelekile, kodwa ayikasiqedi isikhathi sayo sokugijima esijwayelekile, njengoba ifinyelela ku-241 km ku-odometer.
Ngakho-ke, kungenzeka ukuthi, uma lesi sikhathi sokugijima sesiqediwe futhi izingxenye ezihambayo “zilungiselelwe” ngendlela efanele, le “super-Golf” isazuza irekhodi eliphakeme kulokhu kuhlolwa. Kusasele kithina-ke ukuthi silinde ukuvakasha okulandelayo kwe-hot hatch yakwaVolkswagen ebhange lamandla.
Senza i-caveat efanayo nakwezinye izivivinyo zebhange lamandla: aziyona isayensi eqondile futhi kukhona okuguquguqukayo okungathinta imiphumela yokugcina. Futhi kuwumqondo omuhle ukuqinisekisa ngokuhlolwa okwengeziwe kwamanye amayunithi. Nokho, uma kucatshangelwa ukusebenza okubonwe emjahweni wokuhudula i-Carwow esikubonise wona, mhlawumbe i-Golf R entsha ize ibe “namahhashi afihliwe”.
Khumbula ukuthi iVolkswagen Golf R ibilokhu isemakethe ePortugal kusukela ngoJanuwari 2021 futhi inamanani aqala ku-57 000 EUR.
