When Audi declassified technical data and photographs of the five-door version of the Audi A3 - Sportback, among the journalists came revival: for the first time this car will be 200 hp turbocharged 2.0 TFSI. But it is unlikely the car has done so much noise thanks to one (even an entirely new) motor. The first acquaintance showed everyone that it will be quite different from the five-door "treshki" car - and the design and size, and in "stuffing". Even a simple listing of technical innovations previously unseen in this segment, gives hope that the market will be a very strong fighter, able to attack the few konkurentov.Izuchiv preliminary information, all were looking forward to the opportunity to ride on the new product. And dozhdalis.Knyazhestvo Monaco almost perfect fit for the test vehicle, the presentation is so often sounded the word "sport". Virtually the entire coast is a mountain, through the efforts of man transformed into a city, parks and roads. And on these great roads with great pavement, breathtaking bends on serpentines and dizzying height difference through the efforts of the same person, speed is limited to ridiculous figures, and fines forced a smile instantly to fly from his lips ... Contrary to the teachings of our guide ("Take the initial version of the line ! "), we have a colleague (" One time we live! ") took the car with the engine and the 2.0 TFSI manual transmission. However, Russia is often the most successful sales in this segment are the very top versii.Salon car completely devoid of pathos. The lines are swift and easy. Deflectors climate control according to fashion trends are made round and are pronounced elements of the sport's image. Materials, which is decorated interior, do not leave room for savings ideas. Devices, their shape and location, convenient and optimal, but "somehow does not remember" (apparently, his "bicycle", Audi has invented). The center console - control dual-zone climate control, audio system head unit and monitor "navigator." Main feature in the cabin - a new wheel. Form the central part reproduces the shape of the grille, the brightest element of the new corporate identity Audi.Kresla moderately hard, well-kept body, not allowing the bow to every little bit serious turn. In the second row immediately there were those millimeters, which added to the size of the car. Living space of passengers increased in all major destinations - foot (40 mm) and width (+29 mm). Get behind the wheel of a car with premium long been a familiar and very enjoyable, because all that is needed is equipped with electric drives. Being wound up, the engine produces almost nothing of his activities. However, it should play the gas pedal as somewhere behind nenazoylivy heard good buzz, which serves as an accompaniment of soft whistle turbine. The clutch pedal a few tighter than in "civilian" cars, and with a fairly large swing. But the engine picks in the "bottom", and it takes a while to get used to it. But then switching with heavy overclocking is a far different gear bystree.Korobka good set of gear ratios that makes booster transfer quite long. But the thing that I would like to advise the legal department Audi AG, - patent a sound that is heard when you turn on "rashly" regular transmission. By God, he deserves it! This firm "klats" recalls the sound of the CP of sports cars, but on the aristocratic maner.Pervye miles behind the wheel of a new car in unfamiliar places are usually pretty nervous. Nevertheless, encouraged by the curious glances of local residents are learning quickly, "charter" local "monastery" and ten minutes later you could have quite easily pass for any road bully or, at worst, the as-turista.Koe disposing of the intricacies of urban and suburban forks (my word, the Europeans are too addicted to roundabouts), we escaped to the mountains. It is already possible to burn the tires warm-up.Razgon many kilometers from the place of work requires a clear gas pedal and clutch. Its intensity is worthy of the description in terms of sports - the spurt, in ryvok.Podveska Sportback, despite almost a classic design, has pronounced athletic performance. In front is the usual McPherson, and back - a new independent four-link suspension. The rear is particularly interesting, since adopted the design has significantly lower weight. Levers are divided on functional accessories. Couple is responsible for the lateral acceleration and, respectively, for control. Longitudinal - for the comfort that a car of this class should not cause any voprosov.Vnushitelnyh size of the "rollers" saws turn the corner. Well what a pleasant, when the road is not an arrow, and a set of curves with different degree of coolness with a beautiful cover! In such circumstances, it is easy to appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of the steering system. In this case the electric power, "thinking" whenever the driver turns the steering wheel. If the "parking" rate of effort on the steering wheel is minimal, the steering wheel on the highway is filled with an elastic loop, allowing you to adjust traektoriyu.Tormoza clearly deserve a separate word. Sportback - the first car in its class with an adaptive braking system. When braking in a normal amplifier provides excellent responsiveness pedal, applying force in a ratio of 1:5. When the system realizes that the inhibition occurs in an emergency mode, the force increases instantly to 1:8,5. One of the greatest injustices of our lives is that when you are well, time flies quickly and quietly. And vice versa. In our case, two days (or hours?) Passed like seconds. On the way home we contrary to custom, did not discuss the prospects of new products on the Russian market: most likely, they are very bright, after all Sportback mass properties and options, hitherto unseen in the corresponding segment. 2.0 TFSIV this engine for the first time in the world combined advantages of fuel injection FSI and TFSI turbonagnetatelya.2.0 created based on the 2.0 FSI - normal atmospheric engine. They have in common a lot, but in the turbocharged version of some parameters were modified to improve reliability in accordance with the increased capacity of turbo agregata.Blok made of highly durable cast iron GG 25, which successfully resists high pressure and has excellent acoustics. Two balancer shaft, rotating twice as fast as the crankshaft, compensates all the inertial forces of the engine. The result - a complete lack of acoustic comfort and vibratsii.Vpusknoy collector is made of high-tech plastics. The motor has 10.5:1 compression, which is more common to "atmosfernikah." Curious comparison: surpassing by 10% by volume of the engine 1.8, the new engine has a 20% higher torque (280 Nm in the range from 1800 to 5000 rpm 1).
