I-Nissan yethula i-ZEOD RC, okumele igijime e-Le Mans 24hrs ngo-2014, nokuyenze imoto yokuqala yomjaho ekwazi ukugijima emzuliswaneni we-Le Mans edonsa ngogesi kuphela.
I-Revolution ingase ibe igama elingcono kakhulu lokuchaza i-Nissan ZEOD RC, kodwa ngempumelelo iyisahluko sesibili soguquko olwaqalwa iphrojekthi ye-DeltaWing ngo-2009.
Ekuqaleni yakhelwe njengesiphakamiso esiqhudelanayo sekusasa le-Indycar, ngemuva kokungabi yisiphakamiso esikhethiwe, iphrojekthi yathatha enye indlela ebheke emiqhudelwaneni yokukhuthazela. Idizayini yayo eyingqayizivele ku-hang gliding, iphendule kumingcele edingwa yi-Indycar ekufuneni izixazululo ezintsha zokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle.
Esixazululweni sokugcina, sithola ukufana kalula nezwe lezindiza kunemoto yokuncintisana evamile. Esikhundleni sokuphendukela ku-"mega-wings" kanye nama-spoilers ukudala ukwehla kwamandla, ukwakheka kokugcina kuvumela iphansi lemoto ukuthi likhiqize wonke amandla adingekayo.
Idizayini eqinile yeDeltaWing ikhombisa ngokwengxenye okwenzekayo embonini yezimoto, kanti le mboni yezimoto iya ngokuya iyancipha, ilahlekelwa amakhilogremu kwesinye isizukulwane kuye kwesinye, futhi ishintshanisa ama-cubic centimeter amaningi ukuthola izinjini ezincane ezishajwe kakhulu, futhi ngayo, ifinyelela okudingekayo. ukusebenza kahle.
Uma sihlanganisa zonke lezi zithako, sathola imoto yomjaho esheshayo noma eshesha kakhulu kunama-Indycars ebesifuna ukuwashintsha, kodwa sisebenzisa ingxenye kaphethiloli namathayi.
Kamuva kwaNissan bangenela ukuthuthukiswa kwale phrojekthi njengozakwethu, behlinzeka ngenjini ye-DeltaWing eyayizofika e-Le Mans ngo-2012. Isilinda esincane esingu-4 esigcwele amalitha angu-1.6 siletha angu-300hp. Ukungabaza kwakuphezulu, uma kubhekwa ubukhulu bayo obuqukethwe, ukuntuleka kwezinto ezisebenza emoyeni kanye nenani elilinganiselwe lamahhashi. Kodwa lapho iqala ukusebenza, yatholakala ishesha, ngisho nesivinini esikhulu, inamandla okuhambisana nama-prototypes anamandla kakhulu esigabeni se-LMP2.
Ngeshwa, phakathi nomjaho, iToyota #7 igcine isitholana phezulu neDeltaWing, isihlanganise imizuliswano engu-75 kuphela. Wayejabule kakhulu ngohlelo lwango-2012 lomjaho wePetit Le Mans, kumjikelezo we-Road Atlanta, efinyelela endaweni yesi-5 ngokuphelele, ngaphakathi kwendawo ye-LMP2, imizuliswano eyi-6 ukusuka endaweni yokuqala (cishe imizuliswano engama-394 isiyonke ngokukleliswa kokuqala) .
Ngo-2013, i-Nissan yamangala ngokumemezela ukulahlwa kokubambisana kwayo ne-DeltaWing, okubangela ukungabaza nokugxeka okuningi, kunikezwe ukumenyezelwa okuhle kakhulu kanye nokuthakazelisa okwenziwe yi-DeltaWing, ngaphezu kwazo zonke izici ezintsha zale phrojekthi.
Manje uyaqonda ukuthi kungani. I-ZEOD RC yiDeltaWing yakwaNissan. Osekuvele kuvulele icala yiDeltaWing, kunjalo.
NjengeDeltaWing, iNissan ZEOD RC igcina injini engu-1.6 Turbo, kodwa ihambisana namamotho kagesi amabili. Ngamanye amazwi, iyi-hybrid, kodwa ngezinye izici. Abashayeli bezindiza bakhululekile ukuzikhethela ukuthi bafuna ukunikwa amandla amamotho kagesi noma ngokuhambisana nenjini evuthayo yangaphakathi.
Ngobuchwepheshe obususelwe kulobo obusetshenziswa kuNissan Leaf Nismo RC, okuhlanganisa nesistimu yokubhuleka evuselelayo, ama-laps angaphezu kuka-11 futhi uma kubhekwa amaphuzu angama-55 okubhuleka abawashoyo, abakwaNissan bathi iNissan ZEOD RC izokwazi ukugcina amandla anele ukuze ifinyelele ethangeni eligcwele. kwisekethe ye-Le Mans kusetshenziswa amandla kagesi kuphela, okusho ukuthi i-300km/h okufanele ifinyelelwe ku-Mulsanne straight.
I-Nissan ZEOD RC kulindeleke ukuthi isheshe kunemishini ye-LMGTE-class. Uma kubhekwa uhlobo lokuhlola lwe-ZEOD RC, futhi njengoba kuwusiko e-Le Mans, izohlala eGarage 56, ibekelwe izimoto eziletha ubuchwepheshe obusha kumasekhethi, njengoba kwenzeka ngeDeltaWing ngo-2012.
I-Nissan ithi i-Nissan ZEOD RC izoyivumela ukuthi isebenze njengendawo yokuhlola ubuchwepheshe obusha bokungena kwe-Nissan esikhathini esizayo esigabeni se-LMP1. Ngokungangabazeki kuyoba indawo engcono kakhulu yokuhlola imikhawulo yabo bonke ubuchwepheshe obuhlanganiswe ku-Nissan ZEOD RC, futhi okuzothinta ngokuqinisekile isizukulwane esilandelayo sezimoto zikagesi ezivela kwaNissan, ezineLeaf njenge-standard-bearer yayo. Akufanele yini lokho kube inhloso yomjaho wezimoto? Ukuhlola nokuhlola izixazululo ezintsha ezingase "zingcolise" izimoto zansuku zonke, zizenze zibe ngcono?
