Uma uhlanya mayelana I-Porsche futhi awunalo i-altare elinikezelwe ku-Hans Mezger egalaji lakho, yingoba awushisekeli kangako ngePorsche. Sesikushilo lokho, maningi amathuba okuthi lapho usuqedile ukufunda lesi sihloko, uzozizwa unesidingo sokwenza kanjalo ukuze uqinisekise ukholo lwakho — uxolo, bengingafuni ukukubuza.
Esimeni sami esithile, naphezu kokungabi nentshisekelo kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lomkhiqizo, ngiyavuma ukuthi nami nginabo “onkulunkulu benjini” yami, njengoFelix Wankel, uGiotto Bizzarrini, u-Aurelio Lampredi no-Ernest Henry, ukusho abambalwa. Uhlu luyaqhubeka, kodwa… kuzoba namathuba amaningi okubhala ngawo wonke lapha e-Ledger Automobile.
Lesi sihloko sizokhuluma ngoHans Mezger, obhekwa abaningi njengomklami wenjini ongcono kakhulu emlandweni.
Hans Mezger uyaba ubani?
U-Hans Mezger unguyise wezinjini eziyisicaba-eziyisithupha, kanye nezinjini ezibaluleke kakhulu emlandweni we-Porsche. Iminyaka engaphezu kwengxenye yekhulu - yebo, kunjalo, ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-50! - Ama-Porsches akhiqizwa ngezinjini ezakhiwe yilo njiniyela waseJalimane (owazalwa ngoNovemba 18, 1929).
Ngeziqu zobunjiniyela bemishini ayithola e-Technical University of Stuttgart ngo-1956, wasuka emabhange enyuvesi waya ezinkampanini zakwaPorsche, wangaphinde wakulahla. Iphrojekthi yakhe yokuqala njengonjiniyela we-Porsche kwaba ukuthuthukiswa kwekhanda lesilinda le-Fuhrmann (Uhlobo 547), ibhulokhi ye-aluminium enamasilinda amane ehambisana nohlobo oluphumelelayo lwama-550/550 A.
Eminyakeni emibili nje kamuva (ngo-1959), u-Hans Mezger wayeseyigama elihlonishwa kakhulu phakathi kwe-Porsche, njengoba wamenywa ukuba azosebenza enjini yohlobo lwe-804 eyayisebenzisa okuwukuphela kwayo i-Porsche Formula 1 eyawina nge-chassis yohlobo lwaseJalimane. Bekuyinjini engu-1.5 l ebhekene namasilinda ayisishiyagalombili ekwazi ukuthuthukisa i-180 hp ku-9200 rpm.
Lendaba ayikaqali...
Ekupheleni kwawo-1950, kwakungasekho ukungabaza ngobuhlakani bukaHans Mezger. Ungqondongqondo owamtholela ithuba lokuthuthukisa injini yePorsche 911 yokuqala ngo-1963.
KwakunguHans Mezger owakha injini yohlobo lwe-Type 912 flat-12 engeke igwemeke I-Porsche 917, I-Porsche yokuqala yokufuna ukunqoba okuphelele ku-24 Hours of Le Mans (1971) . Ibe yinhle kangakanani le njini? Kumnandi kakhulu. Empeleni, lezi bekungama-flat-six amabili "anamathiselwe" - yingakho ukuma kwefeni phakathi nendawo - futhi ekucushweni kwayo okuqinile kuvumele iPorsche 917/30 Can-Am ukuthi ikhule isuka ku-0-100 km/h nje 2, 3s, isuka ku-0 iye ku-200 km/h ku-5.3s futhi ifinyelele ku-390 km/h ngesivinini esiphezulu.
Zanele izinjini ezakhiwe nguHans Mezger? Vele akunjalo. Siseseminyakeni yama-70s, ngaleso sikhathi u-Hans Mezger wayesevele aziwa ngegama lesidlaliso elithi Motoren-Papst - noma ngesiPutukezi "Papa dos Motores".
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Ikharikhulamu yakhe ihlanganisa nokuthuthukiswa kwezinjini zamamodeli afana nePorsche 935 kanye ne-956/962 (kugalari engezansi). Swayipha:
I-Porsche 962.
Ake sikubeke kanje: i-956/962 yeGroup C iyimoto eyaba yimpumelelo kakhulu emlandweni we-24 Hours of Le Mans, yawina imijaho eyisithupha ilandelana ngeminyaka yawo-1980.
Ngalesi sikhathi uHans Mezger wayesewine cishe konke okwakumele awine. IPorsche 911 ibidayise kakhulu kanti ukuphakama kwePorsche kuzo zonke izigaba ebiqhudelana kuzo bekungangatshazwa.
Kodwa kwakukhona okwakumelwe kwenziwe. Naphezu kokunqoba kwe-Porsche's Formula 1 ngeminyaka yawo-1960, enenjini yesiginesha no-chassis, okuningi kwase kushintshile kusukela ngawo-1960.
Ingabe u-Hans Mezger angakwazi ukuthuthukisa injini ewinayo ye-Formula 1 yesimanje?
Ukubuyela ekunqobeni kweFomula 1
U-Hans Mezger wayehileleke ezinhlelweni ezintathu ze-Formula 1, enye yazo eyayisekuqaleni kwawo-1960 njengoba kushiwo ngenhla. Uhlelo lwesithathu lwaba ukwehluleka okukhulu ngenxa yemikhawulo yesabelomali seFootwork ngo-1991 - ngokuphambene nalokho ongase ukucabange, i-Porsche ibilokhu inezinsiza ezilinganiselwe.
Kusohlelweni lwesibili lweFormula 1 lapho uHans Mezger athola khona impumelelo enkulu kulo mdlalo. Njengoba amaphakethe ayo egcwele uxhaso lwe-TAG, i-Porsche ihlanganyele noMcLaren kumasizini ka-1984 kuya ku-1987.
Hans Mezger ngendalo yakhe.
Kwazalwa kanjalo iphrojekthi ye-TAG V6 (igama lekhodi TTE P01). Bekuyinjini engu-1.5 ye-architecture ye-V6, ene-Turbo (kubha yengcindezi engu-4.0), ekwazi ukuthuthukisa amandla angu-650 hp. Esicacisweni sokufaneleka amandla aphezulu akhuphukele ku-850 hp.
Ngale njini, uMcLaren uthole inkathi yokunqoba kakhulu emlandweni wayo, wathola iziqu ezimbili zomkhiqizi ngo-1984 no-1985, kanye neziqu zokushayela ezintathu ngo-1984, 1985 kanye no-1986. I-TAG V6 yanikeza ukunqoba kuka-25 GP kuMcLaren phakathi kuka-1984 no-198.
Isikhathi sokugcina sikaHans Mezger ePorsche
Uma ukhumbula, u-Hans Mezger wajoyina i-Porsche ngo-1956 futhi manje siseminyakeni yama-90. Umhlaba wanqoba iMpi Yezwe II, izimoto zaqhutshwa ngentando yeningi, udonga lwaseBerlin lwawa, omakhalekhukhwini bazohlala lapha, i-intanethi ihlasele amakhompyutha.
Noma kunjalo, umhlaba usushintshile kodwa kukhona okungashintshile: uHans Mezger.
Ngokwemvelo, ukuze alondoloze ubukhulu bakhe, uHans Mezger kwadingeka asungule izinto ezintsha. Kodwa nakulokhu wahlala elingana naye. Ukuqamba okusha kanye nokufuna ukuphelela komshini kwakuhlale kusendleleni yazo.
Ngokunqoba kwamakhulu ngaphansi kwebhande lakhe, emagumbini amane omhlaba nasezifundweni eziyinhloko zemidlalo yezimoto, lo njiniyela waseJalimane usawatholile amandla e-tango eyodwa yokugcina. Leyo tango bekuyi-Porsche 911 GT1 eyagijima e-Le Mans ngeminyaka yama-90s.
UHans Mezger washiya iPorsche ngo-1994 kodwa ifa lakhe seliqhubeke cishe amashumi amabili eminyaka ngaphezulu. Zonke izizukulwane ze-Porsche 911 GT3 kanye ne-GT3 RS - ngaphandle kwesizukulwane esingu-991 - zazifakwe izinjini ze-Mezger ezithathwe ophikweni olwakhelwe i- I-Porsche 911 GT1.
Izici? Umsindo odakayo, umqansa odlalwayo kodwa onamandla, i-3000 rpm yakamuva, ukulethwa kwamandla kanye nokuthembeka cishe kwanoma yini enye kwenze i-Porsche 911 GT3 RS yaba yilokhu eyikho namuhla. Imishini ehlonishwa yikho konke nawo wonke umuntu, amakhosi namakhosi eNürburgring Nordscheleife.
Engxenyeni encane - noma kunjalo engxenyeni enkulu kunaleyo engake ngilokothe ukuyiphupha - ngingasho ukuthi sengike ngazizwa, ngathinta futhi ngahlola eminye yemisebenzi yalo ngqondongqondo wenjini. Ngaba nelungelo lokushayela wonke ama-Porsche Rennsports (RS), amanye awo ayesayinwe uHans Mezger.
Kungenxa yazo zonke lezi zizathu, kanye nezinye ezimbalwa (ezisazobhalwa…), lapho ngithatha u-Hans Mezger njengomklami wenjini ongcono kakhulu emlandweni wemoto.
Wawina kumathrekhi, wawina emakethe futhi wadala ezinye zezimpawu ezinkulu zemboni yezimoto kanye ne-motorsport; Ngikhuluma ngePorsche 911 kanye nePorsche 917K kodwa ngingakhuluma ngabanye abaningi. Sicela uzizwe ukhululekile ukungavumelani nami futhi uqoke ocabanga ukuthi umklami wenjini ongcono kakhulu emlandweni wemboni yezimoto. Lawa bekungamasenti ami amabili...
