I-Audi RS Q e-tron: ukuqala kothotho lweemvavanyo kwi-Dakar Rally ukuvavanya nokuphuhlisa itekhnoloji.

Kunyaka emva kokuvela kwengcamango yokuqala, i-Audi Sport yaqala ukuvavanya imotoRS Q e-tron Entsha, apho uya kujongana nowona mceli mngeni mkhulu kumdyarho wamazwe ngamazwe ngoJanuwari 2022: iDakar Rally eSaudi Arabia.

I-Audi ijonge ukuba yinkampani yokuqala yeemoto ukusebenzisa isitishi sombane esisebenza ngokufanelekileyo esinetransducer ukuze ikhuphisane noloyiso ngokuchasene nezinye iimoto ezineenjini zesiqhelo kolona gqatso lunzima kwihlabathi. "Inkqubo ye-quattro yatshintsha ugqatso kwi-World Rally Championship, kwaye i-Audi yayiyinkampani yokuqala ukuphumelela i-24 yeeyure ze-Le Mans nge-drive yombane," kusho uJulius Seebach, i-CEO ye-Audi Sport GmbH kwaye ijongene ne-motorsport kwa-Audi. Ngoku sifuna ukungena kwixesha elitsha kwiDakar Rally, kuvavanywa ubuchwephesha be-etron kwaye buphuhliswa phantsi kweemeko zomdyarho ezigqithisileyo. "I-RS Q e-tron yakhiwe ephepheni ngexesha elirekhodiweyo kwaye iquka isaci senkqubela phambili ngeteknoloji," wongezelela.

UCarsten Bender, uMlawuli oLawulayo wakwa-Audi kuMbindi Mpuma, uthe: “IDakar Rally ibe yenye yezona ziganeko zidumileyo kwimidlalo yeemoto kwihlabathi ngenxa yembali yayo etyebileyo kunye newonga phakathi kwemidyarho yamazwe ngamazwe, kwaye siyavuya kuba olugqatso lubanjelwe kweli lizwe. kuMbindi Mpuma. Sijonge phambili ekuthatheni inxaxheba kolugqatso lobuvulindlela, apho i-RS Q e-tron inokubonisa ubugcisa bayo obungenakuthelekiswa nanto kwimozulu eyodwa yakuMbindi Mpuma.”

Iimpawu ezizodwa zeDakar Rally zinika imicelimngeni emikhulu kwiinjineli, njengoko ugqatso luthatha iiveki ezimbini, kunye nezigaba zemihla ngemihla ukuya kuma-800 eekhilomitha. “Lo ngumgama omde kakhulu,” utshilo uAndreas Ross, okhokela iprojekthi yeDakar kwa-Audi Sport. "Le nto sizama ukuyenza apha ayizange yenzeke ngaphambili, kwaye ngowona mngeni mkhulu ojongene nomqhubi wombane," wongezelela.

I-Audi ikhethe ingcamango entsha yokuchasana nokungakwazi ukuhlawulisa ibhetri yemoto entlango: i-RS Q e-tron ixhotyiswe nge-injini ye-TFSI esebenza kakhulu esetyenziswa kwi-German Touring Car Championship, eyinxalenye ye-transducer ebiza imali ephezulu. -ibhetri yevoltage ngelixa uqhuba. Ngenxa yokuba le njini yokutsha isebenza kakuhle kakhulu kuluhlu lwe-4,500-6,000 rpm, ukusetyenziswa okuthe ngqo kungaphantsi kwe-200 g/kWh.

I-RS Q e-tron iza ne-drivetrain yombane Zombini ii-asi zangaphambili nezingasemva ziquka i-alternator/iyunithi yenjini esetyenziswa kwi-e-tron yangoku i-FE07 Formula E yemoto ephuhliswe yi-Audi Sport kwisizini ka-2021, kodwa enohlengahlengiso olungephi zihambelane neemfuno zeDakar Rally.

Ngokumalunga noyilo lwangaphandle, i-RS Q e-tron ihluke kakhulu kwiimoto ze-rally zaseDakar. "Imoto inoyilo oluphucukileyo, lwekamva kwaye inezinto ezininzi zoyilo lwe-Audi," utshilo uJuan Manuel Diaz, iNtloko yeQela loYilo loMdyarho we-Audi. “Injongo yethu ibikukubandakanya isilogeni senkqubela phambili ngetekhnoloji kunye nokuvakalisa ikamva lophawu lwethu,” wongeze watsho.

Kuyaphawuleka ukuba ukuthatha inxaxheba kwi-Dakar Rally kuhambelana nokusekwa kweqela elithi "Q Motorsport". Inqununu yeqela uSven Quandt uthe: "I-Audi ibisoloko ikhetha imibono emitsha enesibindi sokugijima kwayo, kodwa ndicinga ukuba i-RS Q e-tron yenye yeemoto eziphambili kakhulu endidibana nazo." Wongeze wathi: “Inkqubo yokuqhuba umbane ithetha ukuba iinkqubo ezininzi ezahlukeneyo kufuneka zinxibelelane. Elo nqaku, kunye nokuthembeka - okubaluleke kakhulu kwiDakar Rally - ngowona mceli mngeni mkhulu esijongene nawo kwezi nyanga zizayo."

UQuandt ufanise iprojekthi yeAudi eDakar nokufika kokuqala enyangeni. Kwaye ukuba sigqibezela i-Dakar Rally yethu yokuqala ukuya ekupheleni, siya kuba siphumelele. "

Iprototype ye-RS Q e-tron yaqala ukuvela eNewburgh ekuqaleni kukaJulayi. I-ajenda ye-Audi ukususela ngoku kude kube sekupheleni konyaka ibandakanya inkqubo yokuvavanya ngokubanzi kunye novavanyo lokuqala lokuthatha inxaxheba kwimidyarho yamazwe ngamazwe.
