Half my life ahead

Introduction to the A6 took place in the heart of Germany, and even in the days when broadcast on an unprecedented glow Champions League final, "Bayern" - "Valencia". And I must say, the German football machine forced the Spaniards to surrender. And Audi - quietly and persistently further squeezed competitors in their field. Thus, the rule engine in liters now looks like this. Petrol: 1.8 liter - 150 horsepower, 2 liter (new) - 130 hp, 2.4-liter V6 - 170 hp (5 hp) 2.7 liter V6 - 250 hp (20 hp), 3 L V6 (new) - 220 hp, 4.2 liter V8 - 300 hp Diesels (also upgraded - at the same volume equipped with pump-injector): 1,9 TDi - 130 hp and 2,5 V6 TDi - (two versions) 155 hp and the earlier 180 hp The first is mainly meant to be a box continuously variable Multitronic, already tested on the A4, and the second in a mechanical version, a 6-speed manual, which allows better use of maximum power at the peak of each peredache.Krome variator designed for less powerful versions (up to 220 HP), on the A6 continues to successfully apply and Tiptronic - automatic gearbox with manual control (handle - forward and backward, and buttons - on the handlebars). Interestingly, when using a push-button control box itself after a while goes into automatic mode when the button is not pressed. Another news: the "tronics" now has a sport mode, in which case, even if it adaptive, adjustable up and down in the regime of large engine speed. And last, the fifth, the transfer is not used in this case at all. Well, about four-wheel drive version and I'm not saying their share in the production of Audi is growing every year. If you jump around in the internal and external decoration, the differences are visible eye. The first thing written on the "face" - a lot of confidence. It is achieved mounted in the bumper grille, framed by a thin bright-edged, and the same basic grid, located in the same place. The result was as if the second tier. This "quote" from the design of the latest generation A4, and it is thought that the A8 in the next body will get the same facade. Slightly changed and the headlights - they light module ("kruglyashi" under the hood) has grown from 60 to 70 mm and began to give more powerful flow sveta.Szadi all still, except for a slightly updated picture lights and more expressive and large "vyhlopushek." But on the starboard side of a pleasant trifle - finally outside mirror was the same size and shape as the left. Previously underdeveloped, as if from polio, a lot of irritated fans of the element of the brand. The interior of the new products - the steering wheel. Instead, three-spoke, quite concise in appearance - chetyrehspitsevy another section. Earlier cake was literally the wheel - that is circular in cross section, and now it has become prodavlena front all the way around. Who better, but for me "old lady" fell into the hands better. But in the new steering wheel appeared to place a box of keys (by the way, and infinitely variable "multitronikom" too) and pushbuttons magnitoly.Otdelka salon, of course, depends on the modification and greatly affects the price, though air conditioning and electric windows at all the options required . Location behind the wheel of the A6 at one of the best - sit tight, comfortable, "where necessary", the spin - that the skin, which is a rag - absolutely not tired. But profiled seat on the powerful versions, such as a 2.7 liter, having a mass adjustment system is considered, and partly disappointing. Thick lateral support can very firmly into the saddle ... but only a smaller average fares. A major driver to prevent the hard ridges on the perimeter of the seat back and cushion. During the ride, of course, we pay special attention to the version with new engines and gearboxes. The greatest excitement caused the least amount of car - 1,9 TDi with the mechanics. She was so "easy on the rise," you begin to suspect - and not whether you have palmed off a much more powerful car? And with Multitronic A6 and do away from the place smoothly and inexorably, as a new empty streetcar at competitions between stores. And the acceleration from CVT is not worse than with the mechanics - 10.5 seconds to sotni.2 5 TDi, without doubt, still rides faster, but his powerful version with shestistupkoy forces you to switch fairly often, because he has been a significant thrust only 3-3.5 thousand revolutions. From gasoline engines is much less fresh impressions, but gain power not explicitly passed to them for free. And besides, once otmechesh, which was obviously less acoustic noise. This result is not only thicker glass and seals, but also changes the geometry of the wiper arm. And about the small but useful innovations in the chassis and the brakes can write a whole volume. All updates - the essence of a careful analysis by the specialists of all deficiencies identified during the operation. Typically, these metamorphoses take place somewhere in the middle of production of the model, which means that the A6 - and distinguished in appearance and technical design of German technology - will be available for several years.
