Khumbula ukuthi sikhulume nge-Arteon, noma i-ART3on, eyenziwe abaqeqeshwa bakwaVolkswagen I-World Time Attack Challenge eSydney? Namuhla sikulethela enye iphrojekthi yomcimbi ofanayo obuse-Australia, ophumelele kakhulu, a I-Porsche 968.
Le-Porsche 968 igijime esigabeni esiphezulu se-World Time Attack Challenge, i-Pro. Kunezinguquko eziningi ezivunyelwe mayelana ne-suspension, injini kanye ne-aerodynamics futhi kube ngenxa yalokhu ukuthi ithimba le-Porsche likwazile ukuguqula i-968 ibe "inunu" of clue - njengoba ubona, izinguquko ezivunyelwe zijulile...
Ngomdwebo okhumbuza imibala ye-Martini Racing kanye ngaphezu kwe-800 hp iPorsche 968 yazisungula njengemoto yokuvakasha eshesha kunazo zonke endaweni esetshenziselwe umcimbi wase-Australia, iSydney Motorsports Park, isekethe enamakhona angu-11 esabalele ku-3.93 km.
IPorsche 968 inegama kuphela...
I-968 eyawina i-Porsche's World Time Attack Challenge icishe ibe negama eliyisisekelo kuphela nezilinganiso, njengoba cishe yonke enye into ibe nentuthuko enkulu nezinguquko, kuqalwa ngenjini. I-four-cylinder ejwayelekile, 3.0 l, yashintshwa kakhulu, yagcina kuphela i-crankshaft yasekuqaleni - ngenxa yemithethonqubo - umsebenzi owenziwe yi-Elmer Racing.
Injini iphinde ibe ne-BorgWarner turbo kanye ne-ECU ethize, eshintshwayo kube ngeye i-transaxle — lapho u-gearbox no-different kuyiyunithi eyodwa — kanti u-gearbox unesivinini ayisithupha.
I-800 kanye namandla anjalo amahhashi adonswayo kwaba ukubheja okulandelanayo, njengoba kukhona okuhlukile kule injini, enamalitha angu-4.0, kanye nezingxenye "eziqoshwe" ngokuqondile emabhuloki e-aluminium, ekwazi ukuletha amandla angu-1500 hp.
Ukumiswa kuthathwe njengefa esigabeni sokuvakasha se-GT3.
Ekugcineni, i-aerodynamics kwaba ukubheja okukhulu kweqembu, okwaze kwaba nosizo lwangaphambili F1 unjiniyela . Ngakho-ke, i-968 esetshenziswe emcimbini wase-Australia inophiko olukhulu lwangaphambili kanye ne-fin eyenziwe nge-carbon fiber. Ngaphandle kwe-appendages ye-aerodynamic, isigaba sangaphambili kanye nama-mudguards abuye asebenzise i-carbon fiber.
Isikhathi se-1min19,825s sasiyingxenye yeshumi embalwa kwirekhodi elisemthethweni lesekethe (1min19.1s), elibekwe umshayeli weFormula 1 uNico Hülkenberg, ngenkathi egijima kuFormula A1 Grand Prix yabahlali abangabodwa, ngo-2007. umbono wokusebenza kwale 968, owaphuma isibili ube… 10 seconds away(!).
