The Italians are very cheerful and sincere people, and by nature they are close to us, the Slavs. They drink and do not mind, and in their reckless and very hospitable. Like the first time you see, and have loved as their own. We are moving to Milan busy streets of the city center and skip scurrying about their business people. The faces of people noticed our car, lit up with smiles. Perhaps this sunny spring day brought all the inhabitants of Milan and joyful mood or the emotions they gave the beloved local football team, led the tournament that only the national championship? No, just people who glance at the brand new Audi A6, see it as something close and dear. A different and can not be, because the lines of the car reflects the work of fellow countryman - Italian Walter da Silva, and besides, we are in Milan - the European legislator of fashion! New car - new imidzhInteresno like to see it first, others perceive the sixth generation of the A6? Walter da Silva has surprised the automotive world, developing a design Alfa Ro-meo 156, and, perhaps, a luxurious chrome trapezoidal frame garish bars on the A6 - is one of the ideas borrowed from Alfa? No, Alfa is not to blame. In its A6 a very worthy story. The front grille, which embodies the image of invincible AUTO Union, intends to remind others about a legendary past, the brand and gives the look of the machine entirely different emphasis. The car became respectable, it kept flowing lines of its predecessor, and above a sloping trunk lid has an interesting solution with a sharp edge. The elegance of shape glass side, separated by a black gloss refluent stand, highlighted chrome trim, chrome-trimmed and the edge of the tailgate unusual rear. All the design elements look very modern and were first used on the flagship brand - A8 W12. Now they are embodied in the shape of the car and "premium" class, and then probably will be reflected in the other representatives of the model ryada.Posle improvements in the wind tunnel to simulate the speed of 300 km / h, the drag coefficient of the A6 has decreased to 0, 28 (for the previous model it was 0.31). While looking at the arc of the roof, beautiful lines which are characteristic of more coupe than sedan, there may be doubts about whether enough will feel comfortable rear seat passengers? But, once there, we can see that the place is quite enough, and the head is not limited by the ceiling. Still, after the A6 - one of the best overall car in its class! Its length has increased by 121 mm - up to 4916 mm, width - 45 mm, the wheelbase - at 83 mm and is 2760 mm. Positive impact on the internal space and increase the front track by 69mm and rear by 47 mm.V Unlike previous generations, in which the volume of the luggage compartment quattro version was noticeably lower than that of front wheel drive, all new A6 trunk is the same. Its volume is 546 liters, which is more than the Mercedes-Venz E-Class, VMW 5-Series and even the "older brother" - the A8. I would like to mention comfort seats of the new design, different design of the instrument panel (the dials are inscribed in the cut teardrop-shaped) and the design of the steering wheel, made in the same style as the front grille. Added space for the driver's footwell, and the ignition switch and turn the head of lighting for security transferred from the zone of the knees at the top of the dashboard. For the same reason the handle opening the glove box was replaced button located on the center console to the right of the display. Located in the center console and MMI multimedia interface electromechanical parking brake got A6 "inherited" from the A8. But the opportunity to order a regulated adaptive suspension for the A6 will be in 2005 alone, powerful and ekonomichnyyVoditel A6 and passengers feel isolated from the outside world, and only the roughness of Italian highways make the body a little shake, reminding that the car still rides and does not fly. In the new movement "Six" is striking smoothness and dynamics. The design of the front suspension has two upper and two lower aluminum wishbones, and in the design of the rear suspension has been used on previous models, the familiar scheme with trapezoidal lever, which is based on a short spring. Rigidity in torsion increased by 34%, although the body and its predecessor had a good result. In decreasing the engine compartment housed compact V-shaped "six" 3.2 FSI with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive six-band transmission with function Tiptronic. It was this car, we chose a test on, because, according to the calculations of marketers, this model will cause the greatest interest in the Russian market. Judge for yourself: in contrast to the 2.4-liter 177-horsepower V6 with a 255-strong 3.2 FSI fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber, and the mixture is optimal over the entire operating range, which allows for different rates of torque. As a result, the operating range of 2000 r / min to 6000 rev / min in the possession of the driver is not less than 300 Nm of torque. It's hard to believe, but the average fuel economy for FWD cars with engines 2.4 and 3.2 FSI is the same and is 7.1 l/100 km. A car with an engine capacity of 3.2 liters and offered a version of the quattro, which is very important to us. It is true that gas mileage is a little more, but only for litr.Sochetanie 255 "horses", while "peacefully grazing," and the famous all-wheel drive transmission is a bit like an energy drink for forty gentlemen and quite a match for the Italian temperament. But the well-groomed and fairly heavy vehicles local roads is not the best place for a powerful all-wheel drive car, it is more appropriate is another "habitat." As soon as the opportunity to be dispersed more or less a free highway, near Milan, the new A6 3.2 FSI quattro pleased with its dynamics. The speedometer so quickly and quietly crept to around 200 km / h, that mentally I want to thank Audi engineers for electronic limiter that fires a 250 km / h. Perhaps we can agree with Audi engineers and that the CVT Multitronic in conjunction with the 3.2 FSI engine and transmission, quattro - is too explosive combination, is not a suitable vehicle in business class. Therefore, Multitronic is only on front-drive A6 3.2. On the new machine is equipped with a steering system, Servotronic, which changes the force depending on the speed and accuracy designed to ensure perfect steering. Indeed, the steering wheel is very sharp, but do not have enough information content. Too much steering "unreal", like "toy" PlayStation. Maybe it's just first impressions, but that is what it is. The same car, but with manual 6-speed gearbox added me courage. Full participation in the operation of the machine gave a more positive emotions. True, the electromechanical parking brake began to seem somehow irrelevant. Like all manually, and there's some key ... Manual, which I prefer, showed sharp work, and well-chosen gear ratios have contributed to the effective implementation of the power of the engine. But even on country roads for V and VI of the gear was found, but the city remained out of work more and IV transmission. Only the clutch pedal was too long, but you get used to it quickly. Most sports and progressivnyyV this year will produce about 80 thousand new Audi A6, next year - about 180 thousand most inexpensive A6 standard with engine 2.0 TDI 140 hp and torque of 320 Nm will cost 33 thousand euros in Germany. It is quite reasonable sum against the value of fellow-classmates. And we must note that the standard equipment includes air conditioning, 16-inch alloy wheels, electromechanical parking brake, standard multimedia system, audio system with CD player, power accessories and a rain sensor. Some elements of the body of the basic version will be made not of aluminum and steel, which will increase the car's weight by 45 pounds, but will save the budget for the production of 700 vehicles per day. For an additional fee can be set automatically switch on at dusk xenon headlights, adaptive headlights and also with the changing direction of the light beam. Audi A6 3.2 FSI quattro Tiptronic automatic transmission with Germany can be purchased for 44 thousand euros, and the most expensive version of the A6 with a V-shaped "figure eight" of 4.2 liters and 335 horsepower, offered only with all-wheel drive 6-speed manual transmission, will cost 60 thousand evro.Sredi V-shaped engines still want to mention diesel "six" 3-liter with breathtaking torque - 450 Nm. Already next year there will be a new V6 of 2.7 liters and 180 hp, but then the market will A6 station wagon. The ubiquitous British claim that based on the A6, the Germans want to design a coupe, and more to get the V8 with two turbonagnetaley 500 hp, enabling this "herd" on the RS6, and "give heat" Mercedes E55 AMG. In addition, the planned "live" the new A6, the 5-liter V10 engine from Lamborghini Gallardo. German engineers the information is not confirmed, but, you know, smoke without fire. Previous Audi A6 sold over a million copies. The new A6, the developers claimed to be the most sporty and progressive, remains a trump card Audi in the automotive market. In the first place to trump the "six" will go to German, Chinese and North American market. And in China, where Audi has its own production, the new model will be available with the increased by 10 mm base. Not characterized by high growth Chinese want to however to get more space. In Russia, the first Audi A6 with V6 and V8 engines will in June this year.
