Highway star

Employee "AutoSpecCentre Audi Taganka" Igor handed me the keys, documents and issues a ticket for two days. The expression on his face intriguing - supposedly all understand ourselves, we'll talk when the car returned budete.Vneshne S6 seems somewhat flattened compared to the conventional A6: slightly extended wings hanging over baggy "bast shoes" (255/45R17, speed category Y) on the disk shestispitsevyh in the style of the TT. They are, however, can be a simple and "six" pulled - fuel consumption greatly increases, but the look is great. The potential of the car emblem modestly labeled "S6" on the false radiator grille and trunk lid. And no you spoilers, decorative strips and other "sport" attributes. One can see the impressive brakes - four-bracket front and rear ventilated discs and thick (on all four wheels). No other course: curb weight Audi S6 - 1820 kg, and the total - about 2300.Podkapotny landscape - the top-style "high-tech": all guarded, and only filling cap and dipstick are available for the driver. Four rings and the inscription V8 4,2 instantly collect interest groups - on the trunk lid does not even have words quattro, absolutely nothing is said about the volume. False radiator grille has a somewhat different picture from the A6, and the front bumper mounted low on the road fog lights. After opening the front spoiler air intakes are reviewed corrugated tubes radiatora.Zabirayus oil in the cabin. Front Recaro seats have a very well-developed lateral support and a lot of electrical options. The steering wheel is also equipped with the usual for a car of this class of adjustments - changing the inclination of the shaft and the distance to the dashboard. At the door, and near the transmission control lever - refluent blue insertion of carbon fiber. Headroom lever, leather steering wheel, is inconvenient - it can embrace. However, the transmission is automatic, also on the steering wheel has a button with the ins and outs - you can manage it without removing your hands from baranki.Razglyadyvayu dashboard - the picture. Dials six: analog speedometer and tachometer, fuel gauge and coolant temperature, voltmeter and oil thermometer. The last two just for the car no one calls: a simple car-users are not supposed to be distracted from the road. Voltmeter is necessary because the car is packed with electronics cleaner submarine, and oil thermometer will help you choose the optimum mode of operation. Even during the tour under the hood I noticed the plastic hatch with electrical symbols next to bottom edge of the windshield. It turned out that the battery capacity - 105 ampere-hours, roughly the same pose on diesel medium-duty trucks! The engine is running - except for the shooter devices, nothing about it does not show. The tachometer seven hundred idle, the indicator shows the transmission of "neutral." Devices are highlighted in red, arrows - blue and white. Small scales between the main board: Outboard temperature, average, instantaneous fuel consumption, average speed and other information. The current state of engine systems is denoted orange symbols. Several times using the glass washer, I watched the remainder of the display orange fountain. The tachometer red zone - after seven thousand, they are the same ends, and digitizing device. Kink motor will not give electronic rev limiter, to move faster in fifth gear 250 km / h will not work. Extreme reading the speedometer - the magic number "300", comments izlishni.Tsentralnaya part dotted dash buttons - from the alarm to the management of air conditioning, able to simultaneously serve the front riders with their individual needs. Much of the area falls on the panel audioustanovki. Switch it on - Lights the inscription "Bose". Speakers of the same name - is written on a grid. The apparatus consists of a tuner, a cassette tape drive and chetyrehdiskovogo "in-dash" CD-changer. Sounds great, can be controlled by buttons on the steering wheel. Easy! The front doors each contain a pair of hinged panels with pockets. Holders and other containers - in the order of things. The class emphasizes the presence of car curtains in the rear doors and automatic rear canopy before steklom.Salon spacious, visually adds volume light suede seat upholstery and ceiling. Front in the ceiling there is an electrified manhole, covered up a curtain that has the color and texture of the upholstery. Sit back very nicely. Belts three, but back sofa molded under two. The average part is also the armrest and a container for aptechki.Vyezzhayu the gate. Pressure on gas - at the end of the alley is the speedometer passes for a hundred. Looking back - a cloud lifted from the asphalt poplar fluff. Something is wrong, it was too small distance ... The second attempt - same result. I tried to trace the transmission shift points - does not work, only the tachometer needle is deflected to the right intensity and immediately falls down. Inside, the absolute silence ... Country route is a cycle of length about 10 km from several locations - plenty of turns and elevation changes and an excellent road surface. Movement rather brisk, but the temptation is too great ... Turn on low beam, lever to "drive" - ??let's go! Descent - speed 140, lift, entrance to the town - 160, turn right the first group of -160, the signal (well, incidentally, sounds), a trampoline - 150, four right - 120, break in the profile - 100, Signal, right five, two left - again 160. Translate the spirit. In principle, we can go even faster, but then the road should be closed to other traffic. (Consciously or not calling area suburbs, much less populated area - the road is good too.) I'm going to Khodynka - there waiting for the photographer. Photographed the car from different angles, he asked to lay a couple of steep turns. Strap mode "sport" will start. Acceleration is even more intense - transmission is switched in a range of 6300-7000 rev / min. Steering wheel is perfectly elastic, it is a pleasure to work. Currency in the first corner - only the stones flying from under the wheels. And no heel! Acceleration, an attempt to provoke a skid sideways and swinging - by again. Practice nearby school students and girl students correct driving lessons and left spellbound watching the black sedan, fuming with rubber ... Photographer impatiently shifting from foot to foot - when the machine is even slightly tilted? All was in vain ... Whom is the Audi S6? There are some limitations. Prepared for the driver, this car represents no danger. The severity of steering allows virtually any speed to maintain total control over the machine. By the way, steering with S6 is absolutely neutral, so that even with a respectable surplus power to the wheels few who manage to break it to skid. ABS and the torque distribution system work very gently and remind yourself only in an emergency. Inexperienced driver should also beware: slight movement of the foot - and the bar falls to the herd of 340 horses trying to escape from the eight-cylinder total volume of the cube 4172. Approximately up to 170 km / h speed ... there is no evening, the shooting was over, ahead of - the route the city at night. Suspension absolutely silent fulfills the microrelief, the car moves smoothly through the streets. In trying different modes forced inclusion of different gears - if the rate for a given transmission is great, "brains" do not give to switch to step down, and if deemed acceptable speed, it will even slow down the engine, and very effektivno.Dvenadtsat centimeters separated from the bottom of the S6 road surprises - little, so move cautiously. But soon - at every traffic light and neighbors are watching the flow of retreating four rings on the trunk lid. Those wishing to go next is not clear ... bagel fits tightly in his hands, deliberately rough seam leather lining - a small obstacle. Fidgety stritfaytery heard by their lawlessness, randomly rearranging of the lanes and through podymlivaya podsazhennye ring. One press on the pedal to the floor, one more thing - the button transmission control, and "drivers" quickly "come to naught" in the rearview vida.Soblazn bring the speedometer to the right edge of the scale is too large. Again pulled out of town with his fish is, perpetual traffic jams and annoying police officers - will not see more of my documents ... I turn the main light, after a short pause flashes "Xenon." On the radio Gillan sings "Highway Star" - as music made to order. The tachometer indicates 6700, the speedometer - 250
