I breathed cold air October, stealing blinked, turned, and opening the gas and looked first at Monstra.Monstra was not. Outside the window the car dealership could be seen through the drizzling rain profile quite normal, very bourgeois, "Avant-six." Well, who does not know it: wagon Audi A6, sedate and practical, except in rare colored scales for "sheds" silver steel color. However, in the Quattro GmbH, and you are not in a color to paint the car ... Still MONSTRPrezentatsiya car at the Paris Motor Show 2000 has been furnished by more than modest. Probably, this is how Audi would like to stress that the car's performance and his appearance in a model line group do not need presentations. So, RS6 - this is not tuning, since the machine worked the factory engineers and designers of the "native" unit Quattro. Exterior has undergone minor changes: Blackened grille and rear bumper, exhaust pipes and false minimum lining on doors and sills, visually lowering the car slightly, but still not making the ride height is lower than, say, the same "civil" Audi A4. The interior also has not undergone much change - it is still a richly stocked "Avant" at minimum "signs of breed": Recaro seats with logo, black as night, instrument panel with speedometer, digitized to 310 km / h, the sills and wheel all with the same inscription "RS6". Traditional button on the steering wheel gear replaced the original keys of the petals with signs + and "-". But the main thing - stuffing. Familiar V8 engine of 4.2 liter twin-turbo added pressure, and this not only leads to increase power to 450 hp, but also provided a really fantastic torque of 560 Nm at 1950 rev / min. Transmission of all this "herd of horses" is a 5-way "automatic" function with manual mode tiptronic, borrowed from the Audi A8 6.0 and able to adapt to the driver's driving style. Drive - already traditional Bavarian car - quattro with limited slip differential Thorsen. In less than five seconds, all this economy picks up speed 100 km / h, for twenty seconds - 200. During acceleration and braking are also responsible low-profile 18-inch wheels and specially developed braking. Merge VODUStranno that for a car worth $ 100 thousand did not have rubber mats. That is, in principle they are, but in the store and cost about $ 75 - a mere trifle. Therefore, we left the cabin, put on dark velvet shameful pieces of paper with the image of a human foot. Well at least the word "leg" is missing. You've got to write something like: "Easy press on the gas pedal, and ...". Not far from it. On that day, in a narrow alley where the car show, a huge van-truck did not share the road with the "Skoda", and ten minutes, we frantically spinning the wheel back and forth, and handed back to front, just to avoid this traffic jam. For all these worthy pursuits, I somehow rusty what machine food - at a speed of 5 km / h RS6 behaves exactly the same as a normal station wagon Audi. And like any other car, RS6 must refuel. Its something we have never been. From the first second computer showed a cruising range of 10 km at an average consumption of 40 l/100 km, but when we did get to the nearest gas station, the display lights menacing figure 0. At a gas station, of course, there was "discharge." We took a chance and quietly trudged through the very long bridge. They say there is a gas station and the 98th fuel. We overtook even the "bulls" and "Aleko." We drove into the middle lane on the car, capable to be dispersed to "hundreds" for 5 seconds, and dreamed that we will not stand shamefully middle of the road. By filling we rolled already for "neytralke." Gasoline there, cheers, was. BITURBOHoroshaya thing - Third Ring Road. If someone does not know - it is fully completed, but not yet open segments. They apparently did not bless our mayor, builder, and therefore you can get there for a very reasonable fee and ride all alone with whatever speed. So. Internally prepared, click the first time on gas ... We are very surprised that nothing happened, and the car is traveling at a speed of twenty meters per second. The feeling that for those few seconds, as in a time machine, you simply moved from one point to another speed. No there clutches, switches, spasmodic contraction steering "effect turboyamy." Vehicle weight of 1,650 kg just picked up and flew away. He flew without any strain, as some "Boeing" in Sheremetyevo. Without pathos, without thunder and lightning, but simply, almost vertically - in the zenith. Our planes, they say, too, so try to take off, but it is not very. Just simple and natural "zadubel" Suddenly the steering wheel, gently began to sing along turbines, and with them increased the volume of the speaker Bose. It felt about this, as if suddenly, sitting in bed Opera House usher quietly put on your virtual reality helmet with the stereo and turned on the hidden until the time of the dynamics of dolby surround. The car is completely absent desire to "go into a turn," even a sports car with characteristic spetspodveskoy. System DRS (dynamic ride control), was first used in "Six", is working mechanically, without any electronics. Oil from the central distributor of special almost immediately overtaken in the side of those racks that are prone to roll. The car is literally on the road. SUPERKARPotryasayuschy comfort, not peculiar to machines with similar dynamic characteristics, ride in the mode of D, and ease of steering, plenty of assists electronics and a huge potential to put RS6 special place. No other machine will not combine the power and speed sports car with the size and comfort of the family station wagon. You can forgive a high price and great fuel economy. In the world there are no analogues RS6. As you know, Mercedes AMG and his unit still did not provide E-Klasse in the back of "universal", and BMW M5 in the modification of touring never made. On power characteristics with the Audi RS6 really can match that new "six hundredth" S-Klasse biturbo engine, similar to what is set to "Maybach". But it is known to be a different story.
