Diesel madness

Recipe of the car about 12 times easier to understand the word "Ingolstadt": take the flagship SUV, put on a new, powerful, and even a diesel engine, stuffed with electronics, LED cover up, body kit, chrome cover on the outside, dress leather, wood and carbon fiber inside and present it all as something unique, revealing new horizons. Undoubtedly, the main ideologists of the Audi Q7 V12 TDI were marketers. Advances diesel prototype at Le Mans impressed many, and the Germans are strongly required to bring their design to the masses. It turned out, we must admit, brilliant, first in Paris-2006 was shown a conceptual version, then in March this year, visited the Geneva pre-production sample. And very soon, in the same Paris, we see a fully finished production version. Marketers argue that the main pride of the car - engine - has a direct relationship with the "heart" of military prototypes. But this cunning trick, no more. They have in common except that the amount of "pot". The engines are fed to different fuels have different volume, and the camber cylinder is significantly different - 60 ° in the serial and 90 ° in the racing version. Nevertheless, corporate slogan Vorsprung durch Technik («Vorsprung durch Technik") is relevant to the fullest. With six liters of motorists managed to remove the 500 horsepower, achieving 83.4-liter capacity in power. For diesel engine is a great, amazing, amazing figure! Next: the torque is even more impressive - 1,000 Newton-meters within the driver in the interval from 1750 to 3250 rev / min. In practice this means an extremely fun starts - 5.5 to 100 km / h! At the same time the Germans claim that the average fuel consumption is 11.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Agree, for a large crossover with the dynamics of a supercar is vanishingly small. As Audi's do it? The honest answer is this: hellish mixture of different bells and whistles. Work for the common good in addition to 12-cylinder two separated injection system, two turbines with variable geometry, creating incredible pressure of 2,700 bar. Fuel enters the cylinders through a specially designed piezo pressure of 2000 bar. Each nozzle has 8 holes 0.12 mm in diameter each, and control system allows to inject fuel five times per cycle, and the engagement between intervavy injectors can amount to several milliseconds. In real time to imagine all this technical orgy simply impossible. Throw in a dual exhaust system with heat recovery of exhaust gases and high-tech materials (only one vermicular - worm-like - which is graphite), and work ... a true devil, no less. High technology can be found not only in the engine. Work hard and developers gear. For this machine produced an enhanced version of "Machine» tiptronic, designed to send an avalanche of torque. There is a proprietary system and the quattro, which in normal conditions distributes torque at a ratio of 40: 60, giving the car a sporty overtones in government. Admirable and suspension - air it, double wishbone front and rear. It has three modes of stiffness and five points for height, and if the owner thinks of load in the trunk of gravity (eg bags of cement), the rear can be lowered by 71 mm to heighten the comfort. Of course, the tailgate is raised and lowered electric motors. As part of the interior to come up with something as exciting creators failed. All to be expected a high level. Potential buyers will certainly hear about the spacious cabin with excellent ergonomics and flawless finish. Inside and can be polished aluminum, and carbon fiber, and wood. Pleasant to the touch and mats mats are self-evident. The seats, which can be four, five, six or seven are easy, and heated electrically. Climate control, as it should be, separate. Standard equipment of this machine includes everything needed for a carefree existence of modern man: a leather multifunction steering wheel, roof rails, folding exterior mirrors, DVD-navigation, audio Bose c CD-changer, Bluetooth, alarm system and tire pressure monitoring. If anyone, and this seems insufficient, he offered a set of options. The list includes the tight skin and the central instrument panel, panoramic roof, the connector for the iPod, Bang & Olufsen music system and guides in the trunk for easy loading. Also optional are four active safety systems: adaptive cruise control system that prevents the safe distance to the car in front, the tracking system for marking and parking rear view camera. That has turned out is that Audi Q7 V12 TDI - a mad creature marketers. Hardly any of those who are already enrolled in turn, can convincingly explain why he is such a car. Nevertheless, dealers in Germany have already started taking orders. Prices furious "locomotive terrain" start from 136,000 euros. The first machines will find their hosts at the end of this year. To sort of monster SVEDENIYuOsazhivat called carbon-ceramic brakes ventilated. Front calipers have eight pistons as much, and rear - 4. By default, the proposed 20-inch wheels in two versions, but you can put the "rollers" on bolshe.Turbodizel inch V12 has much in common with the engine 3,0 V6 TDI. For example, bore 83 mm and 91.4 mm stroke they are the same. The older "brother" the designers removed the two cylinder of 17 mm, than have a stunning compact - V12 has a length of 684 mm, for a total of 166 mm longer than the V8 TDI.
