Sesivele sikumemezele ukubuya kweVolkswagen ePikes Peak lapha. Ukubuyiselwa kuzokwenziwa nge-prototype kagesi, ebukeka njengento ephuma entweni efana ne-Le Mans. I-ID I-R Pikes Peak ihlose ukuwina "umjaho wamafu" futhi yephule irekhodi lezimoto zikagesi kule nqubo.
Kodwa umzamo wokuqala wokunqoba ukuphakama kwe-4300 m wenzeka eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-30 edlule, ngawo-1980 ekhulwini lokugcina. Futhi ngeke kube nge-I.D ehluke kakhulu. R Pikes Peak. THE Igalofu BiMotor yilokho kanye elikushoyo igama: inunu eyimishini enezinjini ezimbili ze-1.8 16v turbo - eyodwa ngaphambili, enye ngemuva - ekwazi ukudubula ndawonye awu 652hp kuze kufike ku-1020 kg ngesisindo.
Lapha, sesixoxile kakade ngemvelaphi kanye nokuthuthuka kwe-Golf BiMotor. Futhi manje, ngesikhathi sokubuyela kweVolkswagen emjahweni wodumo, isiqale uhlelo lokubuyisela umshini okhetheke kakhulu, iwethule kanye nomlandeli wayo.
Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Golf BiMotor, nakuba yayizibonakalise ishesha ngokwanele ukuba inqobe, ayizange iwuqede umjaho, isizibekile phansi namakhona ambalwa ukuze ihambe. Isizathu kwakuwukuphuka kwelunga elijikayo, lapho kwakubhojwe khona imbobo ukuze kugcotshwe.
Enqubweni yokubuyisela, i-Volkswagen yayifuna ukugcina i-Golf BiMotor njengeyokuqala ngangokunokwenzeka, ngakho-ke inqubo yasuka ikakhulukazi ekuyenzeni iphinde isebenze futhi ikwazi ukushayelwa.
Phakathi kwezici ezihlukahlukene zokubuyiselwa, umsebenzi owenziwe ezinjini uvelele. Lezi kufanele zishunwe ukuze zisebenze ngokuhambisanayo ekuletheni amandla ukuze kugcinwe imoto ilawuleka futhi izinzile. Nokho, i-Golf BiMotor ebuyisiwe ngeke ize ne-652 hp yasekuqaleni.
Ithimba elenze i-Golf BiMotor yaphila futhi
Inhloso kuzoba ukufinyelela phakathi kuka-240 no-260 hp injini ngayinye, namandla okugcina azungeze ama-500 hp. U-Jörg Rachmaul, obhekele ukubuyisela, uyasithethelela lesi sinqumo: “Igalofu kufanele ithembeke futhi isheshe, kodwa futhi ihlale isikhathi eside. Yingakho singaziphuhli izinjini zibe yicala, lokho kungaba yicala.”
Sibheke ngabomvu ukubona lesi silo siqhubeka futhi.
