A trained dwarf, tear gas, guard asleep. Two minutes of heart palpitations - and the building would remain glasses, bald head, mustache and a dwarf, grabbing a random bullet. A silver S8 with burning brunette was taking a driving hero, leaning on the rails the old city cobblestones somewhere in France. Pursuit - slalom on the wrong side, and a dozen broken "Peugeot". Love all three: a hero to the heroine, the heroine of the Audi engine with V10. Romance, four-wheel drive and a final kiss in the credits ... Getaway, departure from the crime scene - a classic scene with elements of detective thriller. And the Audi S8, sports car with the elements of the executive class sedan, capable of playing better than her Oscar-winning De Niro. First of all - look. S8 is part of our life on the sly, like all the top model debuting after the withdrawal of standard machines. A special reception is not worth waiting - from the basic model to distinguish only a trained journalist and a professional opinion - the hijacker. Of course, to stir up public opinion, made a separate presentation. The public responds by buying in showrooms Schild, S8 distinguish from a "dead" counterparts. To get more portrait likeness, to the virtual supermarket trolley to get Audi Large-grille, aerodynamic "round" wheels R20, the new mirror housings and door handles. But even after spending on the exterior of the annual salary of most high school teachers Volochok, you can not force people to turn off your neck with the appearance of S8 in the field of view. It is easier to just buy a Maserati Quattroporte. But that's why yeggs high profile will never come to mind to use "maser" in conducting large-scale operation. It's like a sign in a book of complaints and suggestions, leaving the bank with a bag of bonds. Its passive behavior in the designer's front Audi brings customers into hysterics. Well this is understandable: the BMW revolution in the Mercedes-Benz is also not sitting idle, invent new forms, looking inspired. But not a muscle moves on the face of "Eight", as not much tuzhatsya competitors. Was only the evolution of the radiator grille, headlights and lights have changed. But in the meantime work certainly done a lot of the problem - make yourself sit still when very close to grazing trends, just take it and Draw. Patient sdyuzhili designers, and corpses floated down the river of their enemies. At least in Russia, where the brand last year was the sales leader. Do not follow fashion, but creating it, people brought the breed Audi sedan "universal representation." Lack of a clear niche allowed to give "eight" with broad powers. It's easy to imagine next to the embassy and about the drinking establishment, S8 is no surprise near the opera and on the parking lot at a gay club. Simply put, it is embodied in aluminum and polymers idea that the car is primarily designed for movement, and the tenth - to carry glamorous pontorezov. And Audi S8 is logically close to Dresdner Bank. The guards did not feel the trick. Second - tehdannye. Screw up a great deal has the right car. Therefore, the V10 is a great responsibility. Talk about what it is, say, a motor with Lamborghini, do not cause anything but a smile. You have to know that the engines come to Italy from Germany. Knowing that they will now be placed on domestic cars, the engineers took the trouble to increase the working volume and unit deforsirovat to 450 liters. with. Unpopular with the mean procedure, but resource and torque at lower levels is more important than a couple hundred pimply teenagers, which is so important round number - 500 liters. with. The engineers who worked with iron, combined it with its most perfect development for today - direct-injection FSI, the company has won a lot of Le Manov row. More modern method of delivering fuel into the cylinders is now considered just teleportation, but this is only an option for Hottabycha.Luchshey characteristic for the motor in the current configuration could be the words, uttered repeatedly to the sound of his exhaust. True, they are so piercingly honest, that for ethical reasons, I can not bring them. Located longitudinally V10 gladly spins wheel drive transmission, in which the six-head "Tiptronic". Like all modern "machines", he is here not as "foolproof", and really works off his fee, quickly working "up" and effectively applying braking the motor when switching the "down". When this happens at a speed of over two hundred active brain not only the driver. Fast enough savvy and that fee, which is responsible for managing the air suspension. It was her exemplary work and allows precise, using the spine, like a tuning fork, to feel how increasing free play mode dampers Comfort. And when he leaves, should go to Dynamic. At S8 fully justifies its presence wheel drive transmission. It's just checked - click off the stabilization system. In the S8 is in sight, pressed, disabled. Try to do the same for BMW and Mercedes-Benz - not just lose a lot of time and nerves - in the latter, it can not be disabled, "suddenly get involved." But the reliability of transmission with quattro behavior in the limiting mode allows the company to be honest with our customers. Can you - ezdi. Do not know how to drive, but you want to sit nicely? Unclip, turn off acceleration and pray that you do not even have helped eyrbegi. In this unwillingness to meddle in the personal life of the client felt not only position but also good manners. No wonder - the roots go back to the aristocrats Audi Horch. Those who know how to walk in slippery bots on the brink, S8 offers the pleasure of the highest order. Taking into account the comments on the topic of understeer due to heavy congestion, engineers reconfigured the scheme of distribution of torque. Now it is 40/60 in favor of the rear axle - a nod, so to speak, in the direction of monoprivodnyh competitors. A little free nose now willingly into the turn, and rear-wheel drive with pleasure it is pushed back. More noble behavior forgiving driver to many mistakes but outright provocation in the car skidding requires a reliable stock up on deodorant. When the two begin to slide sideways tons, break through the pot thoroughly. As Osama bin Laden - the main enemy of modern civilization, and considerable weight is the most obvious drawback S8. This is doubly surprising when you know that all aluminum space frame body with this five-meter Limo weighs 215 pounds. On what side Naela S8? Engine and transmission - again. Eyrbegi the skin - two. Electrical and electronics - three. But do not emphasize on the last factor. S8, as well as the base A8, and there went his own way, left the car comfortable but simple, modern, but without unnecessary bells and whistles. Fiber-optic wiring instead of the past generation, carbon fiber instead of wood in the finish - in this case, even managed to save a little. Have the same chance and the buyer S8 - rejection of crazy stylish audio Bang & Olufsen, for example, allows you to lose 70 kg. But with or without on the road this car - the entity. The ratio of weight to capacity - 4.3 kg per horsepower, like a sports car. For those who do not understand: 100 km / h in 5.1 seconds. This acceleration is not like "tsunamicheskoe" acceleration S-Class c V12 Biturbo, and devoid of emotions inherent in the formula V10 BMW. It simply exists as it is in the soul of confidence in the future. And when at around 245 km / h in stock at the "Tiptronic" is yet another transfer, this confidence is growing. In addition, the S8 is a semi-criminal, and one talent - the ability to stop time. Task easier option ceramic brake discs that can throw the body in the seat, like a blow Klitschko - on the ropes. And for all its usefulness, they weigh 10 kilograms less than the standard - 7 to 17 - and serve up to 300 000 km. Finally, the third, the car, which becomes an accomplice, should be the right energy and nothing more. S8 Saloon is just made with the sense of common sense, which suggests - in the back seat of a car is not worth looking for special treats. And once again turned off the road, beaten rivals, Audi engineers did not turn the car in the video shop drayverskogo with elements of an Internet cafe. Like the big producers on the set, even great play their role without interfering with each other and not trying to suppress S8 its owner pontov mass. Behind the wheel S8 quickly realize that the absence of awkward passages used for the love of progress, and the desire to keep the roots of the right - also a kind of respect. That, however, does not prevent the S8 have all the "jam" of the modern executive saloon: biksenon, active cruise control, door closers, etc. But, without having to get used to its peculiarities, this car does not prevail over the driver, and just help him do their job. Because of the nice scenery, he became a partner. Of a partner - a friend. Partner. With this it is quite possible, and to work to go.
