However, Audi is also beautiful. Black, with the correct amount of chromium in the lungs (wrought aluminum) 19-inch wheels, with said shield, with spectacular pseudo-pipes exhaust system, mounted in the rear bumper ... Reinforce the impression you can, if you look at it in certain angles. For example, strictly frontal, slightly crouched - "look" of a dozen light-emitting diodes (by the way, perfectly illuminated side of the road in corners) and the general "expression" muzzle hypnotized. It feels like a rabbit in front of a boa constrictor. Or like a log in front of the bumper. Back is also good - concise ruby ??lights, sockets exhaust, cherished numbers "six" and "zero." There is no name plate W12 - it is decorated with a shield. In the eyes is not obvious, but the status podcherkivaet.Berem record giant. From a place to "hundreds" of car jumps ("accelerated" here does not really fit the meaning) in 5.1 seconds. A little slower than it does the mad turbocharged, double-S600 (4,8 sec.), But four-tenths quicker than the 12-cylinder naturally aspirated rival from Bavaria - 760i. Since we have mentioned Maserati, present, and its numbers: 5.2 seconds. - Atmospheric V8. This slaughter can not add a list of the Englishman Jaguar XJR, though not the 12-cylinder, but with a compressor - 5.3 sec. (Compare: Porsche 911 Carrera - 5 sec., BMW M5 - 4,7 sec.) Such is the class representative, a representational uskorenie.Odnako hard to believe these numbers while driving A8 (and moreover in the passenger seat). Perhaps the reason for this great noise isolation. Or large size and excellent air suspension. Chances are, all together - multiplied by the active assistance of quattro. The driver does not need any stress and even more specialized skills. Although the newspaper's eye read, crushing his foot accelerator, hand holding the steering wheel. Surprise can only daring step speedometer. Time - and a hundred, two - and two hundred, three - and ... No, not 250, as promised electronic speed limiter, and 280! With ease! However, almost any miracle can find a logical explanation. And the miracle Audi A8 W12 - is no exception. Aluminium body Audi Space Frame sign yet of the first model A8. Light, very sturdy construction is not in the least reported the car excellent dynamics and controllability. Number two - revving engine and a compact W12. The impressive two-hybrid V6 in volume of 6 liters produces 450 hp and 580 Nm of torque. At the same time with the audience the power unit costs very well, only in the limiting regimes indicated his extreme potential of ringing notes and shooting tuned exhaust. The air suspension can operate in four modes. Dynamic - the minimum clearance and maximum stiffness, Comfort - comfortable settings, Auto - stiffness and height are set automatically depending on driving conditions, Lift - attack for curbs on the chassis top parkingah.Na speed version of the A8 is behaving impeccably. On smooth pavement lost all sense of speed, the car seemed to fly over the road. Class! 200 km / h at the wheel of the sedan are perceived as "standard" 140v150. But if the coverage is not perfect, the car slightly prowl, the dynamic corridor expands on the steering wheel are transmitted shock, a sense of "rail" disappears, there is a desire to lose a little skorost.V Comfort mode the machine is slightly rocking on the gentle waves, but in general the behavior predictable and intelligible. Dynamic makes the car collected, the profile of the route clearly transmitted to the body, reactions sharper. If this involved a sports mode 6-speed Tiptronic, trip turns into a fascinating attraction. "Moment" throws the car forward with any speed, brake and show themselves to advantage. In general, a suspension A8 Harsh, from her might have been expected a little more comfort. But today, in a fashion sporty ... The only complaint about the automatic transmission - the impossibility of a time to jump on a couple of steps down. There is a hitch. However, there is often need such jumps in a car with a 12-cylinder engine? Manual operation in top version made through convenient shift paddles, but this option seemed a bit far-fetched here, because machine always decides what to do, and should linger for a few seconds or fall to thinking how he needed to tuck in his opinion, the transfer. Upon reaching the maximum speed - up during braking - down. (Actually, the manual mode has got nothing to something, it is for the weaker version.) In the Sport mode small delays in the box, but they are overshadowed by the magnificent work of an aluminum heart machine, which is capable of very, very much. Generally, when the suspension and frame work "in sports" sedan goes into the class GT, showing an excellent (but not gambling) and the outstanding handling dynamics. Maximum speed with minimum tension and a high level of comfort - such is the "sporty" in the interpretation of the A8 W12.Chto regard to ergonomics and interior design in general, W12 is not much different from the versions with less powerful engines. By and large, only the steering wheel the other, with a miniature "shield" and the four rings inside. Everything else is familiar. Attracts gaze interactive MMI control system with seven-inch retractable screen. Its main difference from the analog iDrive is that for each function provides the appropriate button, and pressing it displays all the necessary information - wander through the "tree" option is not necessary. A computer on a BMW is not immediately useful - you need some time to get used to it. In the A8 is all clear from the first time, MMI interface is clearly druzhestvennee.Materialy trim flawless build quality, too. Is the monitor a little rattle when driving through bumps - strange. Raised questions and a combination of matte finish and metallic inserts under derevo.Sistema recognition owner of the car: Keyless Entry. If the pocket is the key, the door will unlock itself. There are two ways to start the engine: the classic (key), or click on the center console. Button can be replaced by a touch device that reads the fingerprint, and not only starts the engine, but also results in setting the machine in accordance with the previously specified settings (options for four people). All weekend is over, re-plugged the line tight traffic flow, and the owner of Audi's time to pass the wheel to the driver, but the most fenced off from the outside world, sitting in the back seat. Space here, of course, abound, there is heating, blinds, climate control. But the powered rear seats offer only long wheelbase (130mm plus) version. If the vehicle is purchased for use as a limousine, in addition to the W12 can recommend bukovku L. In addition, the extended version looks solid. But even the "short" A8 with W12 - excellent para.K Audi A8 W12 in general have no complaints. It perfectly combines the quality of the executive sedan and sports car. Price is high, but justified. It indicates not only the technical level but also on the status. Status car necessarily expensive, and these are always small. Incidentally, during the test, I often met eight-modification - and they all quickly disappeared in the rearview vida.Estestvenno, Maserati or Jaguar even more rare, but not all are willing to spend huge money on auto shocking. And the Audi is possible to stand out from the crowd, if it is equipped with a motor W12.
