The only question one: why W12 engine in the "ordinary» Audi A8 6.0 develops more torque? C lovosochetanie "sports sedan executive class" - an oxymoron. Embodied self-contradiction. Need a car to travel? Sit behind the driver will take. I would like to steer your own? If you already have and representation sedan and a chauffeur, and a villa in the Bahamas, then buy another car "clean ride" - why not combine incompatible problema.Tak? For example, people from BMW have answered this question unequivocally - BMW M7 do not exist . In Stuttgart, think differently. But the Mercedes S65 AMG with its insane biturbomotorom (over 600 hp and as much as 1000 Newton meters!) - This is not driver's car, and Vanity Fair exhibit. Admittedly, the most striking exhibit - the one batter against overloads in leather armchairs at least normal biturbo "six hundredth", not to mention the version of the S65 AMG, the remaining machines will be overclocking a bit bored ... And now I'm a bit bored in the Audi S8. Of course, 450 forces - it's great. Even though the new Audi S8 weighs 1940 kg, about 200 kg more than the previous. Gas - to the floor, arrows - up, the world outside the window - back ... Speeds up to 220 km / h on the speedometer in the Audi S8 you do not notice at all. With 60, 120, 200 km / h - on the German autobahn without a difference. And only when your "xenon" is finally driven off the left row of the next "snail" (which is really rushing for two hundred!) And S8 for a few seconds puts the arrow at the bounding mark of 260 km / h kilometers per hour, these are becoming a reality . Finally, in this you should reset oschuscheniyah.No move up to two hundred - and you are once again slowly katishsya in space. Fantastic ... but that would be different if I had not raced at the now Audi S8, but the "regular" shectilitrovom Audi A8 W12? Dynamics? Similarly, no: not twelve-car slower. Perhaps it is heavier than a couple dozen pounds, but against the overall two-ton weight that's nothing. A torque from the W12 engine vyshe.Zvuk motor? In the Audi S8, he really caresses the ear. For small loads V10 engine is quiet, as the Ukrainian night. But it is necessary to open the throttle, as the salon will break restrained fury - a tall, nervous, thoroughbred voice worthy of a supercar. After all, no accident V10 engine from the Audi S8 got Lamborghini Gallardo. Not for nothing? E-uh ... How skazat.Vo First, the modern development of sound design can make any sound as the engine - though V6, although W12. And secondly, let us without these marketing stuff: V10 engine developed in Sant'Agata Bolognese is not, in Ingolstadt, and is designed for several cars. Just Gallardo was the first of them. The second was the Audi S8. Third, obviously, will be Audi S6, the fourth - Q7 ... And so dalee.Dvigatel good. Of course, it's not BMW V10 from the M5/M6 with his racing attributes such as "dry" housing and individual throttles. On the contrary, ingolshtadtskaya "ten" is a purely "civil" thing as balancer shaft to reduce vibration (the V10 scheme initially with this problem - see the AP number 18, 1998). And for the Audi S8 engine deforsirovali slightly by increasing the volume to 200 "cubes" and reducing the capacity from 500 to 450 power. As a result, the peak moment is reached at a lower speed than the engine ... The W12! Yes, and the peak traction ponizhe.Menshuyu Audi engineers simply offset - to change the key pair in the transmission on a "short", as they do when tuning (4.06 against 3.32 at the Audi A8 W12). And due to this ten-machine dials "hundred" twelve-faster. But ... just 0.1 seconds! That is a difference - within the measurement error. And it is so far preliminary data factory to check that we can not until next autumn, when the Audi S8 officially appear in Rossii.Itak, compactly A comedy? Schemers of Ingolstadt exposed? Do not give brains to powder mass millionerskim wide - though not wait S8, albeit still buying A8 W12? But here, as in the Roman tragedies, in the most dramatic moment in the arena of the amphitheater is the deus ex machina - God from the machine. He comes down from heaven on the cradle and loudly says "easy"! For car Audi S8 is perfect. Regardless of how it is faster or slower twelve-Audi A8.Nachnem with the fact that even "simple» Audi A8 4.2 seems to me the most "drayverskogo" in existence today, luxury sedans. Interior - cockpit (as opposed to BMW). The reactions of the machine, the force on the steering wheel, acceleration, work "machine" and suspension - all there is no excessive rigidity or softness of the unnecessary and relaxation. Again - all-wheel drive. Yes, the abundance of representative "chips" and comfort behind BMW and Mercedes in front, and showed that our benchmark (see the AP number 20, 2005). But only Audi I'd like to get behind the wheel if it samomu.A S8 ... difference - in the nuances. Silentblocks slightly stiffer suspension. The teeth on the steering "rail" (on the A8 is a variable gear ratio) in the near-zero area are cut a little wider, which makes the wheel "witty" - not much, only 10%. Air suspension reprogrammed so that always remains in the "sport" mode, stiffness and ride height varies from 125 mm in the position of "comfort" to 95 mm for high skorosti.Pribavte here Torsen center differential of the new generation - the asymmetrical, with the initial distribution of the thrust axis-40 : 60 in favor of the rear wheels (vs. 50-50 for Audi A8). And you get a perfect avtomobil.Net, indeed! There are five full seats. Spacious trunk. Comfortable chairs - by the way, is very wide, without exaggerated "sporty". Almost every conceivable convenience today. Beautiful power plant. The only complaint - it's a little nervous behavior in first gear S8: "too short" key pair makes the car literally burst forth at the slightest press the gas. Actually, in city driving might well have been done without first peredachi.Kstati, "automatic" can be controlled manually - a very comfortable driving under the petals. And if you disable the ESP stabilization system to "snake", marked-up cones on the pavement aerodrome, then ... then it will manifest itself is another advantage of Audi S8 - manageability. Of course, the two-ton car is not designed for such exercises - a wide glides it heavy. But then, as quickly and accurately he should be behind the wheel, as tenaciously clinging to the asphalt, as readily zanyrivaet in turns - it's great. Migrated suspension, low profile 20-inch tires plus asymmetrical distribution of traction "with the rear-drive bias," as far back as the 60s bequeathed great Roltom with the firm Dixon Formula Ferguson Development, the founding fathers of high-speed "four-wheel drive" - ??this really reduces the lack of understeer inherent Audi A8 W12! And increases the hormone levels of pleasure in krovi.Bolee light engine V10? Perhaps this difference of 25 kg with the W12 engine and play a positive role. But the suspension tuning in our time can achieve far greater rezultatov.Kstati, and the Audi S8 did not become too rigid vehicle. Engineers accents with amazing accuracy. When you sit behind the wheel, you feel the vibration from each joint and seam in the pavement - a relaxed, but it is quite evident. In combination with a rather audible effort on the steering wheel at high speed, it allows you to be "in good shape." You - the driver! But should change seats back - and tremors immediately dissolve into the depths of the rear air suspension. Now you - passazhir.Eto really two cars in one. Without any exaggeration. So when he saw a stream of "eight» Audi thickly lined with chrome falshradiatornoy "mask" and the modest fabrication S8, its owner should be envied. Silver envy - the color of the exterior mirror housings, traditionally made of aircraft metal ingolshtadtskogo.
