Black doctor

First impressions are not pleased: on the edge of the gap-toothed and gray asphalt Khodynsky field, where there are already starting withered thickets of weeds, there was a normal-looking sedan Audi A8 and peretaptyvalsya ruffled by a sharp wind editorial photographer. How specifically, the car was black, and beating around the car, I felt an irresistible desire to change the situation one more time ... but what the label flashed on the trunk lid - «6.0 quattro»?! Come on, come on, and on the front door side moldings? That's right - «W12»! Swallowing this information as a first cup of morning coffee, I felt fresher and more carefully looked into the car. On the one hand, all right - on a body it was an ordinary sedan A8, not even placed on 130 mm Lange. But the wheels are the same as the S8: surreal glowing matte - aluminum 18-inch, low-profile tires with very wide 245/45. But the body seems to have planted not so low as to "eske." Curiosity analyzed more and more, especially as a predatory beak black car was aggressively targeted by a number of spaced circular tracks on the asphalt of orange cones. Because of bad weather "Khodynka" was nemnogolyudnom, and in my right arm felt nice weight ignition key. Doubt, to sit down, was not there again on Saturday and the base is not long, then the steering wheel. Opening the door, I could not help again remembered the old, kind and very attentive doctor who came once to the challenge with a leather suitcase. In the leather and suede interior twilight gleaming silver metal "doctor's instrument" - aluminum trim details W12. Now cure! Already facilitates the register before the open door of three fixed positions, while the far fling it allows almost 90 °. So sit very comfortably, and if, moreover, someone obligingly slam shut the door behind you, you very well, because, as it seemed, "Closer" is set to such work, and close the door the first time from inside of our team could not be anyone ... Once behind the wheel of first A8, it would seem that there a little cramped. But later, when the train in different modes, it becomes clear that this is done without reason: in a leisurely and measured driving style a certain uneasiness can not relax to the point of losing control, and with the active - you will mobilize the entire "inside and out." Adjust the steering wheel and seat adjustment multilevel seem account for 99% of the anthropometric parameters of the population of the globe. Take not the way you're used to - it is simply impossible, especially since the seat remembers the individual settings of the four drivers. Inserting the key in the ignition, you "relive" color screen, which is located between the speedometer and tachometer. Now, by pressing the rotary switch and imitating the work of "mouse" (located under the lid on the center console), you can select from four programs. For example, the driving mode, in which the top of the screen will indicate the frequency of the radio and temperature settings "overboard". At the bottom will show the average and maximum fuel consumption and distance information, which in these modes you will be able to overcome (what a blessing that these figures have not seen the editorial accountant!). It remains for each set personal microclimate in the cabin - and you can hit the road. The algorithm is simple and to heed the settings, except for unusual characters on the keys change the direction of air flow. I think it's forgivable - because perfection conditioning is unlikely to require surgery in her work while in motion. A direct air flow where there is, for only on the instrument panel are seven (!) Controlled defroster air into the cabin, and four (!) Separate - to heat the windshield. Set the temperature for the left and right sides of the cabin, choose one of the twelve (!) Speed ??of the fan, and a warm and friendly atmosphere full of climate comfort is provided to you throughout the trip, and, say, misting can be forgotten forever. It is a pity that the rain never stopped and it was not possible to open the ceiling hatch. By the way, the lid implanted solar panel, designed to feed the climate system during stoyanki.Estestvenno to determine by ear whether the engine W12, - virtually impossible. "Dead" silence in the cabin remains approximately up to two thousand revolutions. As for the six thousandth of the maximum, when it come to all 420 horses, then the engine starts to sound tones fireballs F1 - very similar, and the brakes, incidentally, is also a "definable" - especially when simulating emergency braking. But I confess honestly, I do not conquered "gun" to disperse hundreds of five-and small seconds. Won a surprisingly solid set all the car parts in the correct mode and sensible ride. Here, Audi recalled impeccably tailored suit, which is fitting with the first "merged" into one with the figure. And these feelings, I think, basically, and are those most brands of 200 000 ... And now for a change will move to the rear seats. I can not say very much to sit back at ease - let's not forget that the Audi version in store Lange. But in general, of course, and in sedan spacious enough. And in a molded headliner even provided a niche, increasing the height of the interior of the passenger seats. Rear sofa radically double - with two headrests and two sets of seat belts, wide and hard armrest, in the depths of which, and two cupholders, and a first aid kit. It is curious that he was in a niche - a folding sleeve for skis or any other long-length, which wants to carry with them in the trunk of the owner of the A8. By themselves, the chair is as comfortable as the front. They are also heated, and the adjustment is carried out almost the same degrees of freedom. However, for reasons of convenience, these seats fit virtually no lateral support, which is noticeably irritated with the active style of riding. Lighting and climate in the rear and at altitude. Air supply is carried out four controlled defroster, and light in the dark provides an entire "chandelier" from two directions and one of the scattered light sources. Do not like it from behind just one thing: if the front seat will be a man growing under two feet, he will drop his seat in lowest position. At the same time the gap between the floor and a pillow is reduced to a few inches, and rear passengers will have nowhere to put his feet. True, there is a button on the right door, which when you sitting in front of you immediately move to the forward position, but, alas, in such a confined space will not survive not only the most diminutive assistant, security guard and complexion of the owner with the famous Peugeot 307 TV ad . But, with his legs crossed, you will forget about the Fall and malaise, a kind word pomyanuv attentive doctor with his leather bag, and perhaps even drinking his health, and feel yourself as if you've just completely changed the situation not only but in general all my life
