I-Audi RS Q e-tron: ukuqala kochungechunge lwezivivinyo ku-Dakar Rally ukuhlola nokuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe.

Ngemuva konyaka kuvele umbono wokuqala, i-Audi Sport yaqala ukuhlola imotoI-RS Q e-tron Entsha, lapho uzobhekana khona nenye yezinselelo ezinkulu emjahweni wamazwe ngamazwe ngoJanuwari 2022: i-Dakar Rally e-Saudi Arabia.

I-Audi ihlose ukuba inkampani yezimoto yokuqala ukusebenzisa i-drivetrain kagesi esebenza kahle kakhulu ene-transducer ukuze iqhudelane ngokunqoba nezinye izimoto eziklanywe ngendlela evamile emjahweni onzima kunayo yonke emhlabeni. “Uhlelo lwe-quattro luguqule umjaho kuWorld Rally Championship, kanti i-Audi ibe yinkampani yokuqala ukuwina i-24 Hours of Le Mans ngokushayela ugesi,” kusho uJulius Seebach, oyi-CEO ye-Audi Sport GmbH futhi ebhekele ezezimoto kwa-Audi. Manje sifuna ukungena enkathini entsha ku-Dakar Rally, lapho ubuchwepheshe be-e-tron buhlolwa futhi buthuthukiswa ngaphansi kwezimo ezibucayi zomjaho.” "I-RS Q e-tron yakhiwe ephepheni ngesikhathi esiqoshiwe futhi ihlanganisa isiqubulo senqubekelaphambili ngobuchwepheshe," wengeza.

UCarsten Bender, onguMqondisi oMqondisi wakwa-Audi Middle East, uthe: “I-Dakar Rally isibe ngeminye yemicimbi yezezimoto edume kakhulu emhlabeni ngenxa yomlando wayo ocebile nokuhlonishwa kwawo emijahweni yamazwe ngamazwe, futhi kuyasijabulisa ukuthi lo mjaho ubanjelwe eMpumalanga Ephakathi. Sibheke ngabomvu ukubamba iqhaza kulo mjaho wamaphayona, lapho i-RS Q e-tron ingakhangisa ngobuchwepheshe bayo obusha obungenakuqhathaniswa esimweni sezulu esiyingqayizivele saseMpumalanga Ephakathi.”

Izici ezihlukile ze-Dakar Rally ziletha izinselelo ezinkulu konjiniyela, njengoba umjaho uthatha amasonto amabili, nezigaba zansuku zonke zifinyelela kumakhilomitha angama-800. “Leli yibanga elide kakhulu,” kusho u-Andreas Ross, ohola iphrojekthi ye-Dakar kwa-Audi Sport. “Esizama ukukwenza lapha akukenzeki phambilini, futhi kuyinselelo enkulu ebhekene nokushayela ugesi,” wengeza.

I-Audi ikhethe umcabango omusha wokulwisana nokungakwazi ukushaja ibhethri lemoto ogwadule: i-RS Q e-tron ifakwe injini ye-TFSI esebenza kahle kakhulu esetshenziswe ku-German Touring Car Championship, eyingxenye ye-transducer eshaja okuphezulu. -voltage ibhethri ngenkathi ushayela. Ngenxa yokuthi le njini evuthayo isebenza kahle kakhulu ebangeni lika-4,500-6,000 rpm, ukusetshenziswa okukhethekile kungaphansi kakhulu kuka-200 g/kWh.

I-RS Q e-tron ifika ifakwe i-drivetrain kagesi. Kokubili ama-ekseli angaphambili nangemuva ahlanganisa i-alternator/injini yeyunithi esetshenziswa emotweni yamanje ye-e-tron FE07 Formula E ethuthukiswe ngabakwa-Audi Sport ngesizini ka-2021, kodwa enokulungiswa okuncane ivumelane nezidingo ze-Dakar Rally.

Mayelana nomklamo wangaphandle, i-RS Q e-tron ihluke kakhulu ezimotweni ze-Dakar rally ezivamile.

Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi ukubamba iqhaza ku-Dakar Rally kuhambisana nokusungulwa kwethimba le-"Q Motorsport". Uthishanhloko weqembu uSven Quandt uthe: “I-Audi ihlale ikhetha imibono emisha egqamile emjahweni wayo, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi iRS Q e-tron ingenye yezimoto ezithuthuke kakhulu engake ngahlangana nazo. Uqhube wathi: “Uhlelo lokushayela ugesi lusho ukuthi amasistimu amaningi ahlukene kumele axhumane. Lelo phuzu, kanye nokwethembeka - okubaluleke kakhulu ku-Dakar Rally - kuyinselelo enkulu kakhulu esibhekene nayo ezinyangeni ezizayo."

U-Quandt ufanise iphrojekthi ye-Audi eDakar nokufika kokuqala enyangeni. Futhi uma siqeda i-Dakar Rally yethu yokuqala kuze kube sekugcineni, sizobe siphumelele.”

I-RS Q e-tron prototype iqale ukuvela eNewburgh ekuqaleni kukaJulayi. I-ajenda ye-Audi kusukela manje kuze kube sekupheleni konyaka ihlanganisa uhlelo olubanzi lokuhlola kanye nokuhlolwa kokuqala kokubamba iqhaza emijahweni yerali enqamula amazwe.
