I-Volkswagen ivuse i-"Beetle" ngo-1997, ngemuva kokusabela okuhle ku-Concept One ka-1994. Kwakungenye yezinto zokuqala ezikhuthaza igagasi "retro" elasinika izimoto ezifana neMini (esuka kwaBMW) noma i-Fiat 500. Naphezu kwalokho. impumelelo yayo Ekuqaleni, ikakhulukazi e-USA, iVolkswagen Beetle ayizange ikwazi ukuzuza ngempumelelo ukusebenza kwezentengiselwano kweziphakamiso zeMini noma zeFiat.
Bekungesona isithiyo esizukulwaneni sesibili, esasungulwa ngo-2011, esidayiswayo njengamanje. Amathuba okuthi umuntu ozongena esikhundleni kumodeli oyisakhiwo sodumo manje sekuxoxwa ngawo kwa-VW - ozongena esikhundleni onoshintsho oluncane.
"Ibhungane" elisha, kodwa likagesi
UHerbert Diess, umqondisi omkhulu wenkampani yakwaVolkswagen, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi zikhona izinhlelo zomuntu ozongena esikhundleni seBeetle - kodwa akakanikwa ukukhanya okuluhlaza ukuze aqhubekele phambili. Isinqumo esinjalo singaba maduzane, njengoba umlandeli we-Beetle ungomunye wamamodeli azovotelwa abaphathi beqembu kumthethosisekelo wokuqala wohlu lwezimoto zikagesi zomkhiqizi waseJalimane - ufunda, ugesi.Yebo, uma kwenzeka iVolkswagen Beetle entsha, izoba ngogesi . Ngokusho kuka-Diess, "Isinqumo esilandelayo mayelana nezimoto zikagesi sizoba uhlobo olunjani lwemiqondo engokomzwelo esiyidingayo." Isizukulwane esisha sesithonjana saso esikhulu kunazo zonke kuzofanele sibe setafuleni. IBhungane elisha lizojoyina i-I.D eseyivele iqinisekisiwe. I-Buzz ebuyisa esinye isithonjana esihle somkhiqizo waseJalimane, "Pão de Forma".
Emuva kwemvelaphi
Njengo-I.D. I-Buzz, i-“Beetle” entsha, ezokwenzeka, izosebenzisa i-MEB, inkundla ekhethekile yezimoto zikagesi ezingu-100% zeqembu lakwaVolkswagen. Inzuzo yayo enkulu ukuguquguquka kwayo ngokwedlulele. Amamotho kagesi, ahlangene ngokwemvelo, angabekwa ngqo kunoma iyiphi yama-ekseli. Ngamanye amazwi, amamodeli athathwe kulesi sisekelo angaba ngaphambili, ngemuva noma wonke amasondo - njenge-I.D. I-Buzz — ukubeka injini kagesi eyodwa kushafti.
I-prototype yokuqala yokusebenzisa i-MEB, i I-ID eyethulwe ngo-2016, ilindele i-hatchback efana ne- igalofu . Injini kagesi eyi-170 hp kuphela efakwe ngayo itholakala ku-axle yangemuva. Ukugcina isakhiwo esifanayo kwiVolkswagen Beetle entsha kuzosho ukubuyela ezimpandeni. Uhlobo loku-1, igama elisemthethweni le-"Beetle", "lalingemuva": injini ephikisayo enamasilinda amane epholile yabekwa ngemuva kwe-asi yangemuva yokushayela.
Amathuba avunyelwe yi-MEB angavumela ukudala “ibhungane” eliminyene kakhulu kunalena yamanje, kodwa hhayi enendawo encane, futhi enezici ezingayisondeza kakhulu kumodeli yasekuqaleni kunalabo abazoyilandela ngokusekelwe “kuyo yonke into engaphambili” Igalofu. . Manje sekusele ukulinda isinqumo.
UHerbert Diess ukuqinisekisile, ezitatimendeni ze-Autocar, ukuthi izimoto zikagesi ezingu-15 ezintsha ezingu-100%.
