Actually, the name for the concept car Pikes Peak gave a 4.300-meter-high cliff, lost among the rocky mountains and steppes of Colorado. This is a popular place for American drivers every year who gather here in June to compete in the 21-kilometer mountain race track. Pikes Peak Mountain and is memorable for Audi Motorsport. In 1985 he won the competition a woman - Michelle Mouton. A year later, the best was the legendary racer Bobby Unser American, and in 1987 Walter Rehrl at Audi Sport quattro S1 set a speed record with a time 10:47.85. Yet Audi Pikes Peak is very different from the model Sport quattro is the fact that he can solve a much wider remit than its predecessor 15 years ago. In appearance the new concept is not (and can not be), direct borrowing from the past. Have a wild, staring "look" of medium-sized washers can waft memories, the "face" Pikes Peak is very different from what the firm produced in the last 10 let.Pikes Peak - this is, of course, the avant-garde. SRX in comparison with him, of course, is more conservative (as it should be pre-production model), and almost looks like a minivan. But, strange as it may, "faceted" Cadillac, especially the front, looks more "nervous" than generous with the smooth lines of Pikes Peak. The Audi is no such sharp contrasts, as between the lateral and anterior parts of the SRX. Not the most coherent form in front nevertheless gives some intriguing Pikes Peak. This reinforces the impression of cool color "polar silver". "Faz" at the car completely, "wolf." This strongly protruding predatory "grinning" radiator is divided into two horizontal sections, and four relatively small LED lights under transparent domes uncertain formy.Ruchki doors too advanced. They "appear" only when the proximity sensor key discovered that the authorized person with a key to open the car wants. At this point, turn lights and door ruchek.Dlya lighting designers of the space around the machine used and the external rear-view mirror. Special chamber built into the right mirror, it is aimed at the front wheel and the "live" broadcast image on the display. Thus eliminated the "dead" zone: the driver does not need to determine the distance to the curb to the eye. Dynamism of the concept and the punishment attached to the high window-sill line, and "uncompromising" back of: cool still look four exhaust pipes, discreetly integrated into the bumper. Not to mention the sumptuous drives with five pairs of "rays" and baggy tires PAX 295/770 R 560 A (equivalent to the apparent diameter wheels 20.6 inches), which helps maintain control of the car in case of sudden pressure loss. The special design of "run-flat" allows you to drive another 200 miles at a speed of 80 km / ch.Sozdateli concept car think about the passengers. Pikes Peak has a glass roof. Inside the cabin has two cameras that can "see" the position of the front passenger and optimize it for operation of the airbag. Divided between the second pair of seats mounted retractable remote control, similar voditelskomu.V Audi Pikes Peak quattro the main display - MMI (Multi Media Interface) - is available not only the front passengers. Two folding screen, 173x130 mm mounted in the roof in order to inform and entertain rear seat passengers. There are also DVD-and MD-player sliding panel, a separate display MMI with Internet access and USB, headphone jack ... Generally, Audi Pikes Peak quattro accommodates six people on three rows of armchairs upholstered in leather. All seats in the car have a wide range of electrical adjustment. To simplify access to the third row of seats, second row has the function of "easy entry" - a simple input (like on the new A3). Back row in general can be hidden down (automatically, by the way) so as to increase the amount of luggage up to 1.950 liters. The fifth door "floated" on the side walls, making it easy to download. Small bags can be laid simply and separately through the rear opening okno.Silovoy V8 engine with two turbochargers, without further ado, borrowed from the Audi RS6. However, the power of "engine" has grown to 50 hp and reached the round mark of 500 hp And all thanks to advanced technology, FSI direct fuel injection. The powerful engines of this type are already installed on the Audi A2 and Audi A4, and in the fall appear on the new V8 FSI A3.Modernizirovanny allows Pikes Peak accelerate from standstill to 100 km / h in 5 seconds and top speed limited to 250km / h. Maximum torque - 630 Nm is achieved at 2000 rpm and then have remained constant throughout the speed range. Of course, it is very convenient as at the start, and in slow motion over rough terrain. And then there is the permanent four-wheel drive quattro ... Torque is distributed along the axes 50 to 50, but if one of the axes of stalling, the ratio changes in the direction of the axis with a large grip. Electronic differential lock (DSL) manages the distribution of torque between two wheels on the axle. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) helps drivers in the "critical moments" when there is a danger oprokidyvaniya.Blagodarya use pnevmoelementov suspension automatically "respond" to increase axle loads and restores ride height to the standard urovnyu.Sistema alerting route LDWS - a special feature that actively supports the driver. Through an optical sensor it monitors the quality of the road and gives an acoustic warning signal and a physical response in the form of vibration control wheel when the driver deviates from the selected route. Warning that there has been a change in its unintentional, is issued as a way to avoid a possible accident sluchaya.Ustanovlen at Pikes Peak and adaptive cruise control that not only performs the functions of such a system is conventional, but also automatically maintains the desired distance from the vehicle ahead. The original feature of the car - its adaptive suspension with variable ground clearance. Quite sufficient to bad road clearance of 280 mm can be reduced for high speeds - to lower the center of gravity of the machine, and thus improved, and aerodynamics. As soon as the road rises the speed is automatically lowered suspension and change the settings amortizatorov.V whole idea of ??Pikes Peak is similar Cadillac SRX. Both companies are exploring a new market: the creation of a practical SUV, which at the same time must comply with the prestigious status of the brand, that is enough to offer comfort when appropriate tsene.No at Pikes Peak and SRX still have one, but an important difference: Cadillac - almost stock car and Pikes Peak - a concept car, although it gives the impression of "five minutes" series. However, there is every reason to believe that even if this is the Audi in the series will not go, then the style and technical solutions Pikes Peak will later be the basis for a new A6/Allroad.
