Uma bengazange baqhaqhazele lapho befunda “Uhlobo R,” kufanele. Uhlobo R olohlobo lweHonda ukuthi iM Performance injani kwaBMW, i-AMG iyini kwaMercedes-Benz, iPolestar iyini kwaVolvo kanye nokuthi i-Audi Sport iyini... kunjalo, i-Audi. Muva nje, i-N Performance yakwaHyundai isijoyine leli qembu.
Amagama aqukethe imizwa eminingi, ukugodola nemithamo ephezulu ye-adrenaline. Ngingabala ezinye izibonelo ezimbalwa kodwa… kwanele, akunjalo?
Ukugodola? Yeka ihaba...
Kulezi zinsuku, igama loHlobo luka-R ngezinye izikhathi lihlotshaniswa kakhulu namalungiselelo ahlakaniphile, kodwa Uhlobo R "lweqiniso" luqukethe indaba efanele ukuxoxwa.Kule minyaka engu-25, "Uhlobo R" selufana nokusebenza, ubunjiniyela bezinga eliphezulu, ukuqina kanye... nokuthembeka. Yebo ukwethembeka. Futhi uma kuzokhulunywa ngeminyaka engama-25 ye-Honda Type R, kufanelekile ukuthi kuqalwe khona lapho. Ukuze uthembekile.
Akulona ihaba.
Eminyakeni engamashumi amabili nanhlanu edlule, umhlaba wathola ukwazi uhlobo lwe-Honda NSX R. Inguqulo "ebukhali" ye-NSX "yangempela", enesisindo esingaphansi kwe-120 kg kanye nokuguqulwa "kancane" okwenze wonke umehluko. Sala kahle ngamawindi kagesi, i-air conditioning yokuvalelisa, isistimu yomsindo yokuvalelisa, ukuvalelisa ngesisindo esengeziwe, sawubona ukusebenza! Okuncane kuningi, uyakhumbula?
Ngeshwa, inani lamayunithi ohlobo lwe-NSX akhiqiziwe lalilinganiselwe futhi lalihloselwe i-Japan kuphela. Naphezu kwalezi zingqinamba, izinga lonjiniyela elethulwa isifinyezo sohlobo R ladlulela ngale kwemingcele yase-Japan futhi inganekwane yasabalala emhlabeni wonke. Okufana nalokhu okwenziwa kwaNissan nge-GT-R.
Uma sibuyela ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-90's sizoba yini? SineFerrari ekhiqiza izimoto zakwamanye amazwe – okuhle, kuyiqiniso… – kodwa akwenzeki futhi mhlawumbe okungathembeki kangako; sasine-Porsche phakathi kwe-Transaxles hangover futhi "sanamathela" kumqondo opholile emoyeni ku-Porsche 911 - ukunaka, ama-transaxles ayemangalisa, kodwa ayengeyona impumelelo elindelekile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwe-Atlantic, sasisenabaseMelika abazama ukuqonda leyo “sayensi efihliwe” eyayiwukukhiqiza izimoto ezigobile. Khumbula i-Viper yokuqala? Zama ukungahleki...
Futhi okunye, konke okunye akukhumbuleki kahle...
Maphakathi nalesi simo (engingase ngisidwebe ngamathoni amnyama kakhulu…) kwazalwa isiJapane esikhethekile: i-Honda NSX Type R. Yayigobile, yashesha, kwakulula ukuyishayela, iqinile emzileni, ingaphezi ngesitophuwashi, enokwethenjelwa futhi yayisebenza ekuphileni kwansuku zonke. Singasho, ngaphandle kwehaba, ukuthi i-Honda NSX "yayingubaba" wezimoto ezinkulu zesimanje, eziqala esigabeni ngezindinganiso zekhwalithi ezingakaze zibonwe ngaphambili. Uhlobo lwe-NSX R bekuyilo lonke i-x² nokunye.
I-VTEC? Njalo.
Enkabeni yohlu lwamamodeli ohlobo lwe-R kunesistimu edumile ye-VTEC (Variable Valve and Lift Electronic Control). Isistimu ekwazi ukuguqula iphrofayili yokuvula yamavalvu kuye ngesivinini senjini, ngaleyo ndlela ithuthukise ukusebenza.Akunakwenzeka ukuthanda izimoto futhi awukaze uzwe “ngokukhahlela” kokungena kohlelo lwe-VTEC endaweni yesigameko. Kuze kube namuhla, wonke ama-Honda Type R asebenzisa lolu hlelo, kusukela ku-NSX yokuqala kuya kweyokugcina i-NSX, ngaphandle kokukhohlwa i-Civic, Integra ne-Accord.
I-"H" ibomvu. Kungani?
Bambalwa abantu abazi ngale mininingwane (ngiyavuma ukuthi bengingazi ngaze ngawuqala lo mbhalo). Zonke izinhlobo zama-R zisebenzisa ilogo ye-Honda enengemuva elibomvu. Kuze kube manje akukho okusha kodwa… kungani kubomvu?
Inketho yale nhlanganisela yombala ixhunyaniswe nefa le-Honda kuFomula 1. Bekuyi (futhi isaqhubeka nokuba…) inhlonipho ngemoto yokuqala yakwaHonda yeFormula 1.
Sikhuluma nge-RA272. Lo mdlali ohlezi oyedwa uwine i-Mexican Grand Prix ngo-1965, wabusa kusukela ekuqaleni kwaze kwaba sekugcineni, futhi kwanikeza i-Honda ukunqoba kwayo kokuqala esigabeni esiqhudelana kakhulu emqhudelwaneni wezimoto zomhlaba. Iningi lohlobo R nalo lisebenzisa umbala othi “Championship White”, ofana nowe-RA272.
Uhlobo R lwe "ikusasa"
KwaHonda sebekuqinisekisile ukuthi umndeni wakwaType R usazoqhubeka nokukhula.
Njengamanje, okuwukuphela kommeleli walolu hlu lozalo yi-Honda Civic Type R, kodwa kuzophela maduzane. I-Honda NSX entsha iphinde ibe yikhandidethi engase ithole lesi sifinyezo esidumile. Omunye ongase angenele ukhetho yilowo ozongena esikhundleni se-S2000 (ngiyakukhumbula!). Mayelana nale modeli yakamuva kufanelekile ukufunda lesi sihloko esishicilelwe lapha ku-Reason Automobile muva nje.
