Esikhathini esingaphansi konyaka odlule i-Audi yamemezela ukuthi izoyenza qhudelana kuFormula E. Isinqumo okuhloswe ngaso ukukhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kwezimoto zayo ezisebenza ngogesi emgwaqweni. Nokho, nakuba imoto yakhe Sekunesikhathi eside isenkundleni, futhi izivivinyo ezithathwe kulo mqhudelwano seziqala ukubonakala. Ikakhulukazi lokhu I-Audi RS3 kagesi ene-1.196 CV, noma njengoba beyibiza ngaphakathi kumkhiqizo, i-Schaeffler 4ePerformance.
leli gama kudinga incazelo. Okokuqala nje, u-Schaeffler ungumphakeli wengxenye ye-Formula E, kodwa futhi ungumxhasi omkhulu weqembu le-Audi. Ngokuqondene ne-4ePerformance, kungenxa yokuthi ukufeza lawa mandla, basebenzise izinjini ezine yalezo ezisetshenziswa emqhudelwaneni wezimoto zikagesi. Nge-arsenal enjalo, ngeke kumangaze ukuthi le RS3 Sedan kagesi angadlula kuze kakhulu IFerrari Pista ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-2,26.
Injani i-Audi RS3 kagesi
Kuncane okusele kweRS3 abayisebenzise ukwakha le moto yezemidlalo esebenza ngogesi. I injini eyi-cylinder emihlanu i-turbocharged ekhiqiza i-400 hp ususiwe ezeni, kanye nokudluliswa kanye neningi lezakhi zemishini. Endaweni yayo kukhona eyodwa ibhethri enamandla angu-64 kWh umthamo (ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kweHyundai Ioniq kagesi), kanye injini eyodwa isondo ngalinye. Umqondo ofana kakhulu nalowo we i-cupra e racer abethule ngoMashi kodwa benamandla aphindwe kabili. Umphumela? isuka ku-0 iye ku-200 km/h ngaphansi kwemizuzwana engu-7.
Kodwa izinzuzo zokuba nezinjini ezine azibonakali kuphela emgqeni oqondile. Ipheya ngalinye lezinjini lihlanganyela a ukudluliswa okukhethekile okuvumela ngayinye ukuthi isebenze ngokuzimela ngaphakathi kwe-eksisi efanayo. Ukucushwa okuvumela i-torque vectoring enembe kakhulu. Ngamanye amazwi, thuthukisa ukuzinza kwakho lapho u-corning ngokukwazi ukusabalalisa amandla esondweni ngalinye: amandla amaningi esondweni elingaphandle futhi amancane ngaphakathi.
NgokukaSimon Opel, uMqondisi weMotorsports Special Projects e-Schaeffler: "Okwamanje sithuthukisa uhlelo lwethu lokulawula amandla okushayela [...] Besifunda okuningi, ikakhulukazi mayelana nesofthiwe edingekayo yezinhlelo zokulawula amandla."
