"Six" is aiming to "kings"

Do not think that by studying the competition, engineers began to implement something in the car, preparing for the production of: a year before the premiere it is practically impossible. But you can always change things more virtual. For example, try to reposition the car in the minds of consumers. But this did not happen. In the conceptual range of the new machine dynamics, control, and high-tech company continues to face in the beginning, but the comfort and rich equipment are followed. So, as in the case of the A8, if you want to get from point A to point B, using the most "sporty" car in its segment (tuning version does not count), you have to choose Audi. Following global trends, the new "six" has grown in size, becoming longer (124 mm), wider (+50 mm) and higher (7 mm). Increased and the base machine (83 mm). In this case the car's appearance is the result of careful evolution of the corporate identity brand in recent years. First and foremost, it is characterized by the complete absence of contradictory lines or emotional outbursts. Simple but not simplistic, aggressive, yet elegant, the style was complemented by part that everyone expected - a large falshradiatornoy bars in the spirit of the concept car Rosemeyer. She is soon to appear on all models of the company. But in our case, the part does not change the impression of the whole. A6 has become a modern, I'll a little blood, or rather, a slight modification of an existing design direction. It turns out that in comparison with the appearance of the fifth series BMW, which can be considered a "designer rebellion", the new Audi exterior solutions are presented, rather, "safe haven", "a haven for conformists." Interior, too, thinks of no secrets. The main innovation here - the center console, just deployed to the driver, the steering wheel of a new form, modified the dashboard and the lack of parking brake lever. He was replaced by electromechanical "hammer" with the Audi A8. Instead of revolutions in the exterior and interior company offers prospective buyers a set of technological innovations that allow the model is not without reason, to leadership in the classroom. Adaptive head light allows you to "look for the turn": the obstacle can be seen much sooner than it would be directly in front of the wheels. Given the relative newness of this option, the engineers made it possible to block the use of xenon plus as usual "beam". In this version, it consumes even less energy than incandescent, which preceded it. In the list of options is also present fashionable system of electronic access authorization. In order to unlock the door alarm system, ignition and steering column, driver now simply carry a key with a built-in transmitter. You must then start the engine using the button on the center console. Since 2005, the car can be equipped with two adaptive systems - air suspension and cruise control, but since the start of sales will be available to control the air pressure in tires, a navigation system with DVD and sound system BOSE. No less representatively looks and a list of standard equipment, consisting of an adaptive power steering Servotronic, electronic braking assistant brake assist, the aforementioned electromechanical "parking brake", rain sensors and light level, multi-media system with MMI monochrome display, automatic air conditioning, front and side bags and "active" head restraints. Also, the standard safety equipment includes ESP and braking force EBD.V new car engineers have been able to achieve 34% increase in torsional rigidity, which will certainly surprise the owners of the previous "sixes", because this car and so never looked like jelly. And now, it seems, is expected to further reduce vibration and noise, and getting even more dynamic driving pleasure. Especially as a new car the familiar four-link front suspension has been revised and replaced the rear came "samootslezhivayuschayasya" scheme with trapezoidal arms. The same rear suspension used on the new model A8. New enters the market with five new engines, three of them petrol and two - diesels. The weakest will be the gasoline engine 2.4-liter V-shaped "Six" (177 hp, 230 lb-ft), the next in the series will be a 3.2-liter powerplant (255 hp, 330 lb-ft) of the same configuration but with direct injection FSI, four valves per cylinder, variable intake manifold length and ability to change settings in the valve mechanism. The most powerful petrol engine is a 4.2-liter V-shaped "figure eight" (335 hp, 420 Nm). The four-liter turbodiesel TDI (140 hp, 320 lb-ft) reach the market in the second half of this year and will travel on a tank of at least 1,100 km. The second will be a diesel V-shaped six-cylinder "Six" (225 hp, 450 Nm). To pass the time by the engine at the front or all four wheels in the version of quattro, the company offers a choice of six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes, CVT and V-belt Multitronic, which is in manual mode, Tiptronic shift now has seven stupeney.I Finally, and most importantly - presentations on the European car, it was announced that the price of a new car must remain at the old level, which, despite the lack of accurate data, should affect the market prospects of the new "six" in the best way.
