ʻO ka moʻolelo o ka Porsche 959 hewa ʻole i hoʻokō ʻia e Bill Gates i hoʻolauna ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa

Ua lilo ʻo Porsche 959 i ka makahiki 1986 i kaʻa punahele na Bill Gates, akā ʻo ka nele i ka ʻae kānāwai ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i alakaʻi iā ia i kekahi o nā mea lapuwale loa o ka loaʻa ʻana o kāna kaʻa makamae ma kona ʻaoʻao.

ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ʻo Bill Gates ʻo Tech Giant a me ka billionaire no ka Luna Nui o Microsoft, akā no ka lilo ʻana i billionaire aloha Porsche, nona ka nui o kāna mau hana. Akā ʻoiai hiki i kekahi poʻe Porsches ke hele mai a hele, ʻoi aku hoʻi no kahi billionaire, ua ʻike ka tycoon i ka pono e hoʻoneʻe i kahi kumu hoʻohālike Posche i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi mea paʻakikī loa iā ia.

Ua mākaukau ʻo Gates e kaua kūʻē i ka United States Customs and Border Protection Agency e mālama i kāna kaʻa punahele ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa: ka 959 Porsche 1986.

No ke aha i pāpā ʻia ai ka 959 Porsche 1986 ma US?

I ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka Porsche 959 i ka hopena o 80s, makemake nā mea a pau, me Bill Gates. Eia naʻe, ua maʻalahi kēia ma mua o ka hana ʻana no ka mea ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka Porsche 959 ma United States.

ʻOiai hiki ke lawe maʻalahi ʻia ka hapa nui o nā Porsche mai ʻEulopa i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻokoʻa ka 959. Ua ala mai nā pilikia like ʻole me ka 959 a me kona lawe ʻana mai i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻo ka pilikia nui ʻo ka hōʻole ʻana o Porsche e hāʻawi i ka NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) me ʻehā mau hiʻohiʻona no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana.

ʻO ka mea kānalua, hōʻole ʻo Porsche e ʻoki i ʻehā o kāna mau kaʻa super-luxury super-expensive no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana, akā ʻo ia ka mea "ʻaʻole i hōʻoia ʻia ka Porsche 959 no ka hoʻohana ʻana ma ke alanui ākea."

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia i hoʻōki iā Gates, nāna nō i kauoha i hoʻokahi a kāʻili koke i ka US Customs i ka wā i hōʻea ai. A pela no na makahiki he umi.

ʻO Porsche 959: ka supercar kiʻekiʻe loa o kona manawa

I ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ai ʻo Porsche i ka 959 i ka makahiki 1986, ʻo ia, me ka ʻole o ka hoʻonui ʻana, ʻo ia ka kaʻa ʻenehana ʻoi loa i ka honua.

Ua pohā ka Porsche 959 i ka hiʻohiʻona kaʻa ma ke ʻano he supercar ʻoi loa o kona manawa, a ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha no ka makemake o ka billionaire ʻo Gates e kau i kona mau lima. Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi ʻenekini māhoe 6-lita māhoe, V2.8 hoʻoluʻu i ka ea e hana ana i 444 horsepower a me 369 lb-ft o ka torque, i alakaʻi ʻia e nā huila ʻehā.

ʻO ka maʻalahi kekahi o nā kaʻa maikaʻi loa o ka '80s, hiki i ka Porsche 959 ke paʻi i 60 mau mile i ka hola i loko o 3.6 kekona wale nō a paʻi i ka wikiwiki o 196 mau mile i kēlā me kēia hola. ʻAʻole wale ka mea maikaʻi loa o ka honua no ka wikiwiki a me ka mana, ua hōʻike pū ʻia ka 959 i mea hoʻokele i kēlā me kēia lā.

Pehea ʻo Bill Gates i hoʻohuli ai i nā luna ʻAmelika e mālama i kāna bootleg Porsche 959?

I ka wā i hopu ʻia ai ʻo Gates 'Porsche e ka Dute, maopopo ʻaʻole ʻo ia e ʻae i ka lanakila a ʻoi aku ma mua o 10 mau makahiki i ka hakakā ʻana e hoʻokele i kāna kaʻa moeʻuhane ma ka ʻāina ʻAmelika. Ua hui pū ʻo ia me kāna hoa a me ka mea kūʻai aku ʻo Porsche ʻo Bruce Canepa e hana i kahi hoʻolālā. Me nā loea ʻē aʻe he nui, ua hoʻohana ʻo Gates lāua ʻo Canepa i kahi hui loio e ʻimi i kahi ala e ʻalo ai i nā koi no ke kumukūʻai alanui o Porsche.

Wahi a Auto Week, ua kōkua ka loio Warren Dean iā Gates e kākau i ke kānāwai e hoʻihoʻi i kāna Porsche 959 a waiho ʻia i ka ʻaha. Ua hoʻokumu kēia kānāwai:

"Inā he 500 a ʻuʻuku paha nā kaʻa i hana ʻia, inā ʻaʻole lākou i hana ʻia i kēia manawa, inā ʻaʻole lākou i kānāwai i ka US, a inā he kakaikahi, hiki ke lawe ʻia mai me ka ʻole o ka hele ʻana i nā kūlana DOT. I ka wā e hoʻokō ai lākou i nā kūlana EPA a ʻaʻole e hoʻokele ma mua o 2,500 mau mile i ka makahiki, e lilo lākou i kānāwai. "

Eia naʻe, ʻo ka hōʻike ʻana o Gates i ka hoʻoholo, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e ʻae ke aupuni US. ʻO ka pila, i hoʻokomo ʻia e ka hui loio ʻo Gates, ua hōʻole pinepine ʻia a hāʻule ʻole a hiki i ka manawa i lilo ai i loko o ka "Senate Transportation Bill" i pūlima ʻia i kānāwai e Pelekikena Clinton ma 1998.

He ʻelua makahiki ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana o ke aupuni i nā pepa no ka hoʻokō ʻana i ke kānāwai supercar, akā lōʻihi ka manawa ma mua o ka hoʻokomo ʻana o Gates i kāna Porsche 959 ma ke alanui.

Ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka pepa, pono ʻo Gates lāua ʻo Canepa e hana hou i ka 959 e hoʻokō i kekahi mau kūlana hoʻokuʻu. Akā, ma hope o hoʻokahi ʻumi makahiki o ka hopu ʻia ʻana ma ka US Customs, ua hiki iā Gates ke hoʻokele i kāna Porsche makemake ʻole, ma ke kānāwai. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ʻoe e kaʻa ma mua o 2,500 mau mile ma nā alaloa US.
