Audi S3 - three to five

And they have managed in two liters of so many horses stuff? Maybe they dwarf? "- Oleg Bogdanov wondered, sitting in the AUDI S3. But all the 265 horses were worked hard and full-size you need.

For two and a half to five thousand revolutions - the dust column, and only manage to tuck one by one, six gears. To hundreds of 5.7 seconds, 220 km / h in fifth gear when approaching the red zone tachometer and 250 km / h on the sixth trip to the electronic limiter. And no you turboyam - smooth, powerful thrust. Full-drive quattro makes the same feeling of driving a sharp and intense. With him are not afraid of failure in the wheels and axle boxes from the heart can push the gas. I do not know how at this audisty mastered ekonormami and there flew out of the exhaust pipe, but with the time on the wheels it was OK. Step back. Sitting in a bucket sport seats, I was pleased to note that the flat bottom steering wheel - not just design a la pribambas sport, but very functional thing. Thanks to him, planting is much easier and without the classic reversal, when you sit backwards, and then screwed on the fifth point inward. From the very first meters of the motion that same point was outraged - shakes. Yes, indeed, shakes, agreed to the brain. Each and every pit mound read like an open book. But the attitude I have for this bumpy ride, despite the long-suffering backbone, joyful. Yes, do not be surprised, it was joyful. Shaking a slow ride, I can imagine how good I will drive the car at speed, thanks to this setup as the car vlipnet in the road and a death grip to hold on to it until the last possible moment. Such impacts are not perceived by me as a defect - it is a feature. It's like a limp Garinchi (and perhaps Pele - I'm not good at football). All was well in fact. Feeling as if the car is tied taut thread to the center of the earth - like a beetle on a string. "Eska" flat, with virtually no heel flew in very sharp turns, and the dispersal of even more pressed to the pavement and made a strong throw forward. But on public roads is not very frolic, so I'm looking forward to trips to the sealed road. Speed ??test staged at the Munich airport near the runway. Plastic cones marked the path, and that life did not seem to honey, abundantly watered with water. It was enough to drive a few laps from the stabilization system is activated in order to understand the accuracy and sensitivity of invasion of privacy driver. It should be noted that even in deliberate car rocking from side to side, expand it backwards I could not. Puts it across the tracks, but with gas and driving it was caught fairly easily. After completing the next round, I asked representatives of Audi, as torque is distributed between the axles (nowhere in the description I have not found). And rightly so, that is not found, they told me. The fact that this car is no such thing. Moment is worn between the wheels and settle there, where at this moment the best traction. If the conditions are the same, and the time be equally divided. But this almost never happens, even on dry pavement. After some clarification, I, in turn, puzzled by the request: "Can you ride?" "Of course - I said - but let's go with the stabilization system is off." Riding, apparently, like German, but I - like death. Do not like the fact that stabilization is sometimes still continued to interfere in management. Especially in the running turns. What I'm complaining. And then I, the teapot, explained that although the EPC and off completely, but at the time of braking for safety net is included. After that, everything fell into place: a ride on the turns, I rally the old habit without resetting the gas slow down the left leg. Naturally, the brains on board have concluded that the driver apparently its not enough, and they were connected to the work. I must say that steer a duet - the pleasure is not pleasant. Of apparent deficiencies can be noted, perhaps, one. Passenger rear seats without help from the machine will not work - it is not at all desire to reach the latch move the front seats. The conclusion is simple: there is nothing in the rear seats do - it is a car for the driver and for him alone. AUDI S3 We say: It is, of course, you can go and granny, provided that the old woman to call Michelle Mouton. Otherwise, why so many horses?
