ISuzuki Cappuccino kanye ne-Autozam AZ-1 ziphakathi kwezimoto ezimbili ezithakazelisa kakhulu zama-kei zaseJapan. Kuthiwani nge-duel esendleleni phakathi kwalaba ababili?
Injini iphakathi nendawo ngemuva, idrayivu yamasondo angemuva, izihlalo ezimbili, iminyango yephiko le-gull, isisindo esingama-720 kg kuphela… Kuze kube manje kuzwakala njengencazelo yemoto yomncintiswano, akunjalo? Ngakho-ke asiqhubeke. 660 cubic centimeters kanye 64 amahhashi. Yebo... amahhashi angamashumi ayisithupha nane?! Kuphela?!
Amandla angaphezu kwenele ezikhathi zokuzijabulisa esondweni - njengoba sizobona ngezansi. Siyakwamukela emhlabeni wezimoto ze-kei, izimoto ezincane zama-Japanese, ingxenye engekho kwenye indawo emhlabeni. Ekuqaleni yakhelwe ukukhuthaza imboni yezimoto zaseJapan ngemva kweMpi Yezwe II, le ngxenye isalokhu “iphila” kuze kube namuhla.
Uma kuqhathaniswa nezimoto ezijwayelekile, izimoto ze-kei zinezinzuzo zentela ezivumela intengo ephansi yokuthengisa emphakathini, futhi ziyisixazululo esifanelekile samadolobha aseJapan aminyene.
Njengoba le movie yembula, izimoto ze-kei azizona nje izakhamuzi ezihlanzekile zasemadolobheni nezimoto zokusebenza. Baphinde banikeza imishini emincane ethokozisayo. Ama-90 ngokungangabazeki ayethakazelisa kakhulu ngalesi sikhathi.
Kulaba ababili abakhona, iSuzuki Cappuccino mhlawumbe eyaziwa kakhulu - abanye baze bafika ePortugal. Cabanga ngeMazda MX-5 eshwabene futhi ingekude nalokho okuyiCpuccino. Ngokwezilinganiso, yazi ukuthi i-Capuccino ifushane futhi incane kune-Fiat 500. Incane impela. Injini yangaphambili ende, idrayivu yamasondo angemuva kanye, vele, elawulwayo engu-64 hp (amandla aphezulu avunyelwe) we-660 cc emgqeni wamasilinda amathathu ane-turbo.
Kodwa kukhona okwengeziwe...
I-Autozam AZ-1 ngaphandle kokungabaza bekuyizimoto eziqine kakhulu ze-kei. Imoto yemidlalo eyi-1/3 yesikali. Iphrojekthi eyahlongozwa ekuqaleni yiSuzuki, eyagcina ifinyelele emgqeni wokukhiqiza ngezandla zeMazda. Injini iphuma kwaSuzuki - uhlobo lwaseJapan luphinde lwadayisa i-AZ-1 nophawu lwayo.
I-Autozam brand iphinde ibe yindalo ye-Mazda, lapho inquma ukwakha izinhlobo ezahlukene ukuze zinqobe izingxenye ezahlukene zemakethe. I-Best Motoring yase-Japan ibuyise lokhu kuqhathanisa kwango-1992, ibeka amamodeli amabili amancane kodwa ajabulisayo eduze.
Ukubona isenzo kumjikelezo, nomhlabathi omanzi, bukela ividiyo kusuka ku-5:00 imizuzu. Ngaphambi kwalokho, kunencazelo ye-AZ-1 kanye nokuqhathanisa ukusheshisa emgwaqeni. Ngeshwa, imibhalo engezansi ayiboni nakancane… uyasiqonda isi-Japanese? Nathi ngokunjalo.
