The kidnappers of dreams

They say that these machines can not be compared with each other. New Audi TT Coupe is a 2 +2, and Cayman S - this is a purely single projectile. At first the engine is located in the nose and sets in motion a car the front wheels, while the second - the car - a mid with a driven rear. And they are different engines: two-liter turbo in-line "Quartet" Audi will have to withstand the atmospheric boxer "six" Porsche of more than three liters. But all these arguments against full-time combat you'll hear only of pedants, who constructs a general and did not see, perhaps, the main differences between this pair. And Coupe TT, and the Cayman S was built for one purpose - to return the driver to childhood, to his favorite toy, which can be enough of her heart's content. And like any fun, these machines are free from the conventions of class. With no less successful company they could make a couple more road neformalov: BMW Z4 Coupe macho or sweet pepper Mercedes SLK. CHEBURASHKA RAZBUShEVALSYaPrezhnemu TT managed to subdue women. Passenger formula "two plus minor" a successful approach to everyday utilitarian transport functions, but it does not interfere with the car to turn the pumpkin into a stylish carriage for Cinderella. The second success factor - looks a little tender beast. Look at the old TT - it's Cheburashka in metal! New from Ingolstadt has retained the style of a donut, but it is not like any cartoon character or for a large vegetable. In the TT Coupe is felt rage - Faith proud, muscular relief sides. Pure breed. The car grew in the shoulders nearly eight inches and has an elongated tail, because of which the length has increased almost by 14 inches. At such dimensions, "roost" behind the front seats could be turned into a sofa. Or add a volume of the trunk (260 liters with the current TT Coupe - is, figuratively speaking, a little more than a thimble). But at Audi decided not to depart from the idea of ??the selfish and focused on the car, "athletic" data. 69% of the body made of aluminum, allowing CT to lose weight, and the rest - a load-bearing elements made of steel, giving the body the proper stiffness. Equipped with a car almost in full. The standard includes an advanced stabilization system ESP (combines a number of electronic podstrahovok: ABS, EBV, ASR, EDS), automatic spoiler, retractable at 120 and retractable back at 80 km / h, climate control and audio not weak. The surcharge can be ordered from TT superavtomatom DSG six-speed instead of "handles." And yet - an advanced control system damping Audi Magnetic Ride. Restriction on the "features" only one, and it concerns, alas, quattro. All-wheel drive is still only modification to the atmospheric engine 3.2. Dandy-KROKODILPredstavte Doberman on a leash not, and a small crocodile - that's the same animation from around causes and Cayman S. Neighbors will watch you park at the entrance to be asked to sit behind the wheel. Even the Boxster, which is built on the base Cayman, this interest did not call, because we have seen all the open car unfinished toy. A "Cayman" - unmade. He submitted a Russian orthodox about what in general should be a machine. He has everything in its place: a hood, a real roof, the trunk under the third, as a hatchback door. Just curious then suddenly realized that "Porsche" is, of course, the trunk should be in front! It is. Aluminum lift the lid on the nose, and everyone can see where you can download a large suitcase. "So, the engine behind" - work the iron logic of a neighbor. But when a nice click to open the third door access to the second trunk (small, 150-liter), his face - check for yourself - take the kind of person who is so blatantly not even played up thimblerigger. Motor is located in the cabin. It is securely hidden under a compact soundproof enclosure. From the outside world it is associated only to the gills rear wheel arches (which is sucked through the air to cool) and a pair of openings for the oil and antifreeze, derived under the hatch in the rear luggage compartment. Thanks to a mid-linking has an optimal weight distribution Cayman and negligible moment of inertia about the vertical axis. And thanks to a rigid circular roof and power elements of its hardened steel body has a low C, and the highest bending stiffness. In theory, travelers Cayman reaction should be as accurate and swift, like reflexes in caiman crocodilus - the most skillful hunters piranhas. To equip the Cayman S will say briefly, just enough. Entertainment system with color display and speakers of the Bose and serves as the navigator onboard computer. There are key changes in damping and off Porsche Stability Management - an electronic system that does not hold a driver on a strict leash and comes into play only in a situation that threatens the complete loss of control over the machine. Wing, which itself rises and falls, working on the same principle as in the Audi TT Coupe. The surcharge can install ceramic-composite brakes. Advanced design promises not only better the dynamics of slow, but also improving fuel economy and acceleration due to lighter weight parts. Hungry and S SYTYYCayman interesting than what is dispersed in less than six seconds to "hundreds", and that carries over a hundred million years ago. It feel like a hungry reptile of the Jurassic period - other machines seem pathetic, barely formed mammals. They are slow, clumsy and tuporyly: first, get off in flocks, traffic jams, and then, locking each other, begin to twitch in search of the free section of the road. Yes, hard pedal and elastic inarticulate of lever box initially irritating. And very low driver's landing takes some getting used. However, these ergonomic nuances soon begin to give pleasure. It incorporates the principle of "do not think and act." Rocker speed selection works really well - miss the desired transmission is not possible, the handling feels a clear "neutral", and switch easily performed even at half-depressed the clutch. The steering gives the beast a sense of movement. In turns rukovodstvueshsya no sixth sense, but a tangible grip on the handlebars the front "paws" with the road. Cayman S with clarity amazes react to a sharp change of course. The rapid evolution of the lanes except the rebound in the direction can not be called. Do you there will be no doubt about the breed of the machine, when you feel the suspension Short-assembled and hear major "kaymanovskuyu" chip - Organ roar hypnotic power that occurs at 5000 r / min, when included in the action dual resonance intake system. Audi TT Coupe is not shocking extreme habits. It does not emotion going through the roof in the "plus", but sometimes do not fall in the "minus" - the car is smooth flow of warm feelings. He was not so greedy. Even with a torn city driving 98-octane gasoline is used not 18-20, and 14-15 liters per hundred. TT rolls smoothly as the iron in the Chinese silk, and no annoying noises. Instead heartbreaking growling boxer "six," he offers a pleasant listen feline purr on "bottoms", which passes with increasing speed in an aggressive hissing. And what is most surprising - TT Coupe, while at first glance much weaker critters from Stuttgart nursery, do not become easy prey. Loss on an improvised chetyrehsotmetrovom straight and did not exceed the housing. Do you know why? The answer found in the table, under "Torque." Motor 2.0 TFSI, as opposed to atmospheric howler Porsche, ready to leap forward in saving any speed. But on twisty tracks and Audi behaves accommodating - the nose should be at the wheel as on rails, feed stable. I do not remember that trip to a new system was deprived of sleep. First, do not let calm Cayman S-even in slumber, I went to pull "cores" of the reptile management. Then the day worn on the TT Coupe. But after he lost sleep for another reason - I counted the cost "tetehi" per square meter in never bought an apartment in Moscow. And came - firmly seated? - Some paltry fifteen. Give me a TT. Any. Even if it is a pistol, from which you can shoot. The marriage contract "Ring" theme in interior design Audi TT, in my opinion, brought to the grotesque. In the wedding motorcade did not count so much jewelry. Take a look instrument panel: not counting the helm - seven rings. Of the center console protrudes five. On the other hand, accuse the Audi designers some other miscalculations impossible. Salon tailored Alcantara and smooth skin. Quality plastic parts, finished aluminum trim, well correlated with the 60 000 that will have to pay for the car. Ergonomics verified. Each button on the form, the box works exceptionally well, the pedal features a small, but soft and smooth ride, and steering wheel are not only interested in the intriguing shape (it seems to cut down the bottom), but also pleasing to the diameter, cross section, its non-slip leather sheath and quality recessed sutures. By the seats of the claims can only arise from the too slender heads. The rest as they seem to profile flawless. Only passengers with additional places not to be envied. Space for the feet here, back mockingly vertical. Sitting behind you require satellites' divorce and mother's maiden name "is already in the first few kilometers journey together. BIRTH SHVATKISalon Cayman S - this is solid generic features. It can be found with her eyes closed in a characteristic triangular bibikalke, the clatter steering column levers and texture, "tumblers" conditioning. Even on location, shift lever, which is as though he jumps into his hand (unless, of course, your habits are not marred by long-term ownership of the car with the ergonomics of the curve). In general, well thought-out interior does not disappoint. Some details - the same dashboard, leather-coated and decorated the back of the fine grid, or advanced by the passenger of the "feast" cupholders - is generally a design masterpiece. But sometimes you see oak plastic, which will probably eventually get a bad musical. The seats themselves - pure delight. When set their height and tilt, lumbar support podberesh and other nuances that you feel imprinted in tool tray. Only drivers of growth of more than 180 cm range of longitudinal movement of the chair may seem inadequate. And the steering wheel a little bit disappointed - this would be the place to Cayenne, and here arises a bagel is smaller.
