Take the bull by the horns

Many seriously believe that this motor is moved to S6 straight from the popular supercar. It is, if we consider a modified engine block tsilindrov.Na really now upon us radiates heat is almost completely original 10-cylinder powerplant. If you remember, Gallardo had a 5 liter working volume, and this figure is greater than about 200 "cubes". That's right - piston group and the new crankshaft. The diameter of the cylinder is increased to 84.5 mm (it was 82.5 mm) stroke is the same 92.8 mm. Was there a Lamborghini technology of direct fuel injection FSI? Spawn was not! Engineers from Ingolstadt supplied motor proprietary system specifically for the champions. Therefore, the compression ratio at different engine - 11 in Italy and 12.5 in Germany. Even in motor shaft balancer Lamborghini missing. Plus, with Gallardo used dry sump lubrication system that you will agree, it would be very brave to burst Audi (although BMW nevertheless decided to take this with its technologically advanced V10 M-Series). Anyway, the motors are collected in different locations for Gallardo - in Italy, for S6 - in Germany ... The engine is almost inaudible rustle at idle, but what gives it an aria with the exhaust system for promotion! The first thing that hooked behind the wheel of S6, - sound, with whom does this 5.2-liter monster. He seemed to be firing from two anti-aircraft guns on the remaining cars behind. Powerful, booming, rolling. And the speed limit "queue" are merged into a continuous roar of a fighter jet taking off to become. So many willing to believe that there is indeed the engine from the Lamborghini ... But it is not the point. The hood is closed, it is time to admire the exterior. All couched in the style and traditions of machines with the letter S. No posturing, no flashy game muscles, only the strokes emphasize masculinity shape. Main - extended by 14 mm arch that gently adjusted the silhouette of the car. In the arches - 18-inch wheels with a special design. Could be 19 inches, but the Russian office of Audi decided that it would be better. For practical reasons, I fully representative of the acquired new soglasen.Perednyaya falshradiatornoy grid with large cells and vertical bars, trimmed in aluminum. Along the edges of the front bumper at the bottom appeared LED Position. Widened door moldings. Back - four pipe exhaust system and spoiler lip on the trunk. V10 badges under the turn signals on front fenders look like, what kind of car. In other words, any more or less versed in the machines people will immediately understand that this - the new sports saloon S6.V seats, trimmed with a combination of leather and Alcantara. Conveniently, all the necessary adjustments are present. With active driving seat fully ensure the stability of landing - The Alcantara firmly holds the frictional force plus lateral support, which works correctly, but rather a first-class interior uverenno.Otdelka. Designers lavishly decorated interior carbon fiber panels. Looks particularly impressive tunnel between the front seats. Also commonly present in aluminum finish, some surfaces - anthracite and so too is "plated". Three-spoke steering wheel is perfect little on the proportions, the transmission control petals that are behind them, are readily available. In the center panel color display system MMI. The engine may contain a key or a button on the left of the selector "automatic." Suppressed certain key motor - so it is accepted at Audi. ESP off long-term (more than three seconds) by pressing the appropriate button. If you press it briefly once, just off antiprotivobuksovochnaya system services ASR.K rear seat curtain on the windows, rear - with electric, personal nozzle blowing. In the long trip on the second row passengers are likely to tire drone mufflers. But sitting in front of the sound is not annoying. S6 - car driver! The basis of all-wheel drive - the good old Torsen. Of torque - 40/60 in favor of the rear axle. The solution is right - why excess weight rod driven wheels? However, depending on traffic conditions in front may not be up to 65% of the time, back - up to 85%. Chassis for the top version is seriously upgraded. First of all, the basic units of the suspension changed to aluminum. Thus, reduced unsprung weight. Replaced shock absorbers and springs. Configuration chassis S6 tougher than in the "sports package" for the A6. Whether suffered from all this comfort? Not a bit! Of course, the suspension more energy here, tough. However, passengers, this does not annoyed, they are happy. But to a certain point, until the driver starts to S6 disclose potential car steering wheel ... a new "shorter" than the basic models - changed the gear ratio. Power with variable torque correctly generates feedback based on the speed. In the parking lot with nearly no high-speed direct drive torque is poured, a clear zero. In turns, too, no questions asked - all the laws of the genre of fast expensive mashin.Motor S6 is mounted only with a 6-step "automatic" T?? Tiptronic. From conventional automatic transmission it is distinguished by approximated ratios and changes in the control unit, which helped to achieve more rapid switching. "Automatic" is good - works quickly and smoothly, the algorithm switches to the sport mode is perfect. But there is one unfortunate moment. Box reluctantly and briefly holds the manual mode switching. That I could feel during tests of control over the passage of the snake. Traveled the segment came to a turn, drove up to the cones, but instead required a "second" box is helpfully tucked unnecessary "third." Before the tests at the site, at the very moment when we examined the engine, I noticed that the engine installed in front of the front axle. That is all ultra-compact 220 kg and dosed with advanced technologies V10 are almost on the nose S6. Seditious thought crept in - not kill it manageable, if not make the car sluggish in the short turns? Indeed, contrary to the laws of physics do not trample. It's one thing to rush on the highway, pass the speed of the arc, the other - to drive through a bunch of not very fast performing povorotov.Pri "Exercise" at short distances, of course, affects the large mass of the total vehicle weight to the front. If you go through a bit of speed when the "snake", immediately pulling down the front axle. Redeem it can discharge gas, and if the situation is close to critical, the S6 is the desired trajectory after a short brake. However, overall response and handling sedan only please. Powerful engine, great steering, efficient and very informative tormoza.Avtomobil like an angry bull, jumping from one cone to another, skillfully licks arc, firing bursts from the exhaust pipes. Clearly, he needs a big expanse of the race track. Only there to show all its high-speed passage of the arc talanty.Pri again found understeer. S6 requires the driver to select the ideal trajectory and speed, allowing fuel to pour into the cylinders at the exit of turn. Then everything goes "with a bang." But quattro is renowned for providing a spectacular cornering sideways. It is in this mode, unique in their reactions-wheel-drive scheme with a fully mechanical Torsen shows his best to make storony.Kak heavy sedan with very wide tires warmed break in the slip on the pavement tenaciously? Trajectory need to "break" on corner entry. Acceleration, under the helm provocative dumping gas - throws back a little to one side. Now we turn the wheel sharply in the opposite direction. The amplitude of the return movement of the stern exposes sedan across the road. Finally, the S6 is a completely controlled by the slip! Now the driver requires accurate work the gas pedal and steering wheel, and the arc can lay different radius, and pass them on to different speed. It will be exciting when the slip sideways on the asphalt feet tall, and then the car is easy to stabilize and getting back on a straight course! Obediently, of course, predictable. In this situation, should not confuse the catastrophic costs ... rubber. The most powerful engine to the wheels passes 90% of its 540 Nm at 2300 r / min, and this silischi enough to make it easy to scroll in all four-wheel drifts. It's a pity, of course, crippled tires, but we could not deny myself the pleasure of the name quattro! In this regard, I once again regret that Russia has no Nurburgring and his amateur racing culture in the form in which it is cultivated in Europe. Although many Russian owners whether they want to rape doroguschy S6 sedan and rough it on the rubber, also, incidentally, is not cheap? After all, Audi S6 in the first place - the car status. However, would suggest that they will emphasize the status of the more people who have petrol in their blood. And I hope that these machines at least occasionally will give space and opportunity to realize their hidden talents. Prices and standard equipment includes S6 Stability ESP (integrates ABS, EBV, ASR, EDS), Brake Assist, side and front airbags for driver and front passenger seats, cruise control, climate control, alloy wheels R18, sports front seats , multipurpose sports leather steering wheel, onboard computer with a color display, rain sensors and the inclusion of beam, adaptive xenon headlights and more. The cost of the machine in the base set is $ 137 182.Spisok of options is great. It includes color "metallic" alloy wheels 19 inches, sliding roof, preparing to install the phone, electric front seats with memory function, as well as a variety of trim options.
