Eminyakeni emibili edlule iSubaru yethula uhlelo olukhethekile lwe-WRX STI, i-S207. Ngemuva kwale minyaka, uhlobo lwaseJapan lwanquma ukufaka izinongo kwisaluni yalo yezemidlalo edonsa ngawo wonke amasondo nge-flavour ye-“Mundial de Ralis” futhi.
I-S208 entsha izokhawulelwa kumayunithi angama-450 futhi izomakethwa eJapan kuphela - hhayi ukuthi yenza umehluko omkhulu kumaPutukezi, ngoba njengoba wazi, i-Subaru ayizange ibe nommeleli ePortugal isikhathi eside.
Angazi, masikhohliswe ingaphandle ehluke kancane yezinguqulo ezivamile. Kunomlingo owengeziwe ofihliwe kule Subaru WRX STI S208. Okungukuthi ngaphansi kwe-hood. Siyakhumbula ukuthi i-S207 yangaphambilini, ifakwe i- Injini engu-2.5 turbo boxer ilethe amandla angu-325 hp kanye ne-torque engu-431 Nm. Okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi kule nguqulo lawa manani (asevele ayathakazelisa) athola inkulumo entsha.
Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi amandla akusiyo yonke into, futhi ukukhanya kubalwa kakhulu - njengoba sibonile ku-Opel Insignia GSi esanda kwethulwa - uphahla kule nguqulo luba ikhabhoni. Hhayi kuphela ukunciphisa isisindo kodwa futhi isikhungo amandla adonsela phansi.
Kukhona okwengeziwe. I-Subaru icele i-STI ukuthi ishune ukumiswa kanye nezinto zikagesi ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuphatha okuguquguqukayo. Sesikushilo lokho, sasala nomona onempilo wabangane bethu ezweni “lelanga eliphumayo”.
