Red bullet

What have they done to TTBud my way, I would have pulled Audi TTS somewhere at the Nurburgring, but not crawling in a traffic jam on the Leningrad highway. But - what is it? Congestion, it appears, was built the builders, and ahead - a long straight with a fresh and, consequently, more smooth asphalt. In this light this time ready to rush a dozen cars on my right hand. It will not work! Pedal - to the floor, and after a few moments they can only see red stern, disappearing in the spray (rain again, damn him!). During those same moments of S tronic, understanding - what is required of him, "fell" on the two programs "down", and I was imprinted in the chair, as if his chest had fallen dvuhpudovaya weight. The roar of a sports exhaust system, escaped with four sockets, put an end to all attempts to "keep out" or "beat" the red pulyu.A a sound accompanied the transition from second to third gear!? This is a booming cotton, shot - a sentence doubt the possibility of this version of Audi. But - 180 on the tachometer in the middle of the bridge near the Voikovskaya - it's too much. In addition, plugging in front again - time to pull in 272-strong "herd." Brake pads digging into a 17-inch wheels - so that barely noticeable prostrekotal mechanism ABS and brake force distribution contributed to the car when it did not even stir the side, and after a few seconds, smoothly and with dignity, rolled up to the tail of the stream. Yes, engineers from Quattro GmbH, which are working to create vehicles with the letter S, came to the TT thoughtfully. Taking the 2.0-liter 200-horsepower gasoline engine, they turned it into a young one that exists, along the way by making a few alterations to the design. In the cylinder block have been strengthened pillars and main bearing caps. Fingers and rings of pistons and connecting rods have also been modified. Improvements were camshafts and valve seat rings. And the cylinder head is made from a new alloy of aluminum and silicon. In the intake tract wizard embedded dampers that provide a twist of incoming air. The fuel in the cylinders is now injected under pressure of 110 bar, make modified pump. To upload a new turbine could more air, it put a larger wheel. The supercharger, which forms an integral unit with the exhaust manifold, now cast out of steel that can withstand high thermal loads. And as a result, the maximum boost pressure jumped up to 1.2 bar. The intercooler is completely constructed of aluminum, which improves its efficiency compared to traditional coolers with plastic whiskers. That is, the entire intake tract TTS optimized for lowest possible losses davleniya.Primechatelno also that the powerful 2,0 TFSI weighs just 153 kg, which is just what we needed - reduces the overall weight of TTS, better weight distribution on axes - and thus control car. And in this particular case, the model was also equipped with S tronic gearbox with two clutches, which combines the benefits of ACH and manual transmission. The transition from one stage to another by hundredths of seconds, without interrupting the flow of power. Technical principle of the S tronic perfectly simple: in one case - two sets of CP, each of which has its own multi-disc clutch. The first clutch serves the odd gears and reverse gear, the second - even transfer. Both the input shaft located on a common axis - hollow shaft rotates inside a solid shaft. Both units run continuously MP, but only one of them has a circuit to the motor. When you turn on the transfer of one block IF, the other is "getting ready", that is - the next transmission is selected, switching occurs by changing stsepleniy.Upravlyat S tronic shift paddles can be with "petals" or handle the IP. In the motion to censure the box I did not have, but when you start from a place she still "slow." The reason, in my opinion, lies in the fact that the peak moment is reached at 2500 rev / min, ie, the motor needs a promotion. So, for example, at the start of the competition with a traffic light can cause your "rival" the idea of ??sophisticated mockery: in the first moment you're sure to lose him TTS half a length. As if on purpose, because the second moment (just turn the turbine) is carried off with a roar ahead. And catch up with you - no chance. Almost none, because the machines on our roads are different. I'm here, do not hide the fact that once all is lost. Although it is a worthy rival - BMW M3. Impact is the same pause when starting from a place which, in my opinion, TTS does not paint. Would test car is equipped with a manual transmission - a set "the standard", then start with no problems with the implementation of by.Zato horsepower capacity in the TTS is no problem - the drive is a - permanent four-wheel, quattro. It is based on multi-plate hydraulic clutch with electronic control. It is situated at the end of the shaft, before the rear differential. Such an arrangement again, improves the distribution of axle load. Differential control unit continually analyzes road conditions based on the data set. If necessary, almost 100% of torque can be directed to the front or the rear wheels. Through the receiver, this process occurs in two times faster than before - a few milliseconds. Reinforced all the most important parts of the transmission - driveshaft, differentials and drive valy.I, of course, have changed the suspension vehicle. At the expense of sport springs Ground clearance is reduced by 10 mm. A standard installation system Audi magnetic ride - electronic system control dampers - monitors the road surface and driving style, appropriately adjusting the rigidity of suspensions. Touch of a button the driver can select normal or sport mode damping. But even in normal mode, despite what the manufacturer, TTS - this is a very tough machine. In the sport mode suspension are the same at all furious. But in this mode provides maximum information content management, and body roll when cornering, which in normal practice was not to disappear altogether. Because of this and a sense of oneness with the car, when his hands all over you feel every nuance of her behavior. Moreover, by the way, contributes to transparent and steering. And at first it seems easy, but it should move, as the cake immediately tyazheleet.Nelzya not to mention traditional Audi neutral setting. Thus, at the entrance to turn a little disgusted TTS first of his nose, but exactly when it begins to seem that is almost here demolition, clutch sends back more time and body obediently zanyrivaet in turn. If the speed is too high, the car starts to slide all four wheels turning outward, and in response to a complete rotation of a steering-wheel or increase the gas will go smoothly TTS in the bank. But it smoothly, and this is the beauty. No sudden disruption - predictable, reliable reaktsii.Inymi words, Audi TTS is a perfectly tuned instrument for fast driving. If not pause at the start from the place the car could be called perfect, almost racing. External aktsentyOdnako it would be unfair to say nothing about the exterior and interior decoration TTS.Kompaktny muscular body seems to going forward, even when the car is worth. The expressive front and rear of the powerful - the distinctive design features compartments. The dominant element of the front end - a big grille Singleframe platinum-gray, with silver and red emblem of the TTS. The designers have changed the geometry of the front spoiler, air intakes have increased, a continuous line across the whole width of the bumper, and given new shape headlights. In this bi-xenon lamps TTS and LEDs that are lit during the day. This solution significantly increases the safety car. Twelve white LEDs arranged in a straight line running along the bottom of the body of the headlamp. Together with the plastic elements in the shape of the wing, they give the car an unmistakable mark oblik.Pri in profile attention is drawn to the big 18-inch wheels and move down a line of advanced rapids. Exterior mirror housings gleam aluminum trim. Powerful rear bumper, the same platinum-gray lining and logo of the diffuser are arranged TTS final accents. A two twin pipe exhaust system like a powerful signal about the potential of 4-cylinder engine Audi.Takzhe worth noting that, as in the model TT, TTS spoiler automatically pops up to 120 km / h and retracts at 80 km / h. In the frontal area of ??2.09 square compartment. m drag coefficient is 0.31. In kokpiteVoditel in Audi TTS - both in good tracksuit. The center console has a small tilt in his direction, all the switches and controls are located conveniently. Here, no doubt for a moment in sports like cars, and excellent quality finishing materials and the precision of their fit to bring the interior a feeling of luxury. And in the TTS designers have placed more emphasis. Scale devices are gray in color, white arrows speedometer and tachometer when the ignition is quickly rejected by the stop and go back to "zero." Information system with a new white high-resolution display shows all important information. It is integrated timer that allows you to record the results of the passage of "race distance." Low-set sports seats are height adjustable, heated and provide excellent support. Standard are leather upholstered combination / Alcantara one or two colors. To my taste particularly pleasant two-tone kombinatsiya.V standard TTS consists of laths brushed aluminum footing and pedals are made of quality steel. Sill, multifunction sports steering wheel trimmed in leather with strong, flattened at the bottom of the rim and shift knob decorated with logos TTS.Pri this car is not devoid of functionality. Yes, it is impossible to sit back, there really can hold the baby. But the rear seat backs recline individually, thus increasing the luggage space from 290 to 700 liters. In addition, there are cup holders and a variety of niches for small luggage. "Hot" is dorozheMne left say that the price TTS Coupe - 2.112 million rubles with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and 2.182 million - with S tronic. Certainly not cheap, but then the competitors, like the same BMW M3, not too accessible. And in the asset at TTS - not just bright appearance, but all-wheel drive transmission, which actually makes it possible to use it round god.Odno say at last: although designed car "on the hot-heads", they should operate with cold reason.
