Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule sikutshele mayelana nokuqinisekiswa kweToyota ukuthatha I-Goodwood Festival of Speed, okwenzeka kule mpelasonto ezayo, ukuhamba ngemoto kusukela esikhathini esizayo Toyota Supra. Namuhla sinolwazi olusha esinalo, ngaphezu kwesithombe esisha lapho ingxenye engemuva ye-bodywork ingabonakala khona.
Abezindaba abaningi baphawule ngesonto eledlule, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi umkhiqizo waseJapane awuzange ukuqinisekisile, ukuthi phakathi Julayi 12 no-15, eGoodwood, besizobona iyunithi yokukhiqiza yeToyota Supra. Nokho kube yiyona Toyota uqobo lwayo ephikile le mininingwane ithi izoba a prototype nokuthi, ngaphezu kwalokho, izoba nokufihlakala kobuhle, njengalena esiyibona esithombeni.
Besizibuza ukuthi ngabe uphiko oluzobe lukhona kule mpelasonto emcimbini odumile wamaNgisi luzohlanganisa ibanga elifushane lentaba noma, ngokuphambene, luzokhonjiswa nje lumile. Phela, iToyota Supra izoqedela ukukhuphuka futhi izokwenza kanjalo nabaphathi bayo ababili abaphezulu ebhodini, njengoTetsuya Tada (oyinhloko yephrojekthi ye-Supra) kanye noHerwing Deanses (umshayeli wokuhlola).
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abakwaToyota basebenzise ithuba lokwethulwa kwalesi sithombe samateya esisha ukunikeza ulwazi oluthile olufushane, lapho lokho ebesikwazi kakade kuqinisekiswa khona. Ngamanye amazwi, imodeli entsha yezemidlalo izosebenzisa a injini yangaphambili ngobude ne i-cilindros, futhi lokho kuzothumela amandla ayo ku-asphalt ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lwe isondo elingemuva. Iphinde ithi kuzoba aimoto yezemidlalo ehlanzekile".
Kuyasimangalisa ukuthi uhlobo lwaseJapane alusabonisi iyunithi yalo yokugcina yokukhiqiza, ngoba ngokwabo baqinisekisa ukuthi iToyota Supra izongena emakethe ngesiwombe sokuqala ka-2019. Yebo, kungase kube nezinyanga eziningi ezisele, kodwa njengoba ihlobo liphakathi futhi kuyimoto ekade ilindelwe, sikuthola sinelukuluku. Kunoma yikuphi, i-aesthetics yemodeli yokugcina ngeke ihluke kakhulu kuleyo yalesi sibonelo.
Kunoma yikuphi, sithemba ukuthi kule mpelasonto inkampani veza enye idatha yobuchwepheshe noma yokusebenzaHhayi-ke, kuze kube manje ukugcine kuyimfihlo kakhulu. Kulindeleke ukuthi iToyota Supra “ejwayelekile” ifike kuqala ezindaweni ezidayisayo bese kuthi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kubonakale uhlobo olushintshashintshayo olunophawu lweToyota. Umjaho weGazoo, ozoba nguyena ophethe izinguqulo ezintsha zezemidlalo zomkhiqizo.
