The new TT shot

Audi decision not to shock the audience this time, and place emphasis on enduring values, it was quite logical. Still, continuity and adherence to tradition - it is something that has always distinguished the products of German brands, and not in the least due to this they dictate fashion in high society automobile society. In addition, the previous car, although it reached a respectable, by today's standards, age, remained quite competitive, and each year has continued to gather under its banner a considerable number of new poklonnikov.Tem, however, departure from the scene of the current TT soon will cause a sense of nostalgia for connoisseurs lost. He was appreciated for a bright, catchy, deliberate personality, because, bearing the four rings on the grill, he stood out among other models from Ingolstadt, as if tailored by a single templates, different, as it says in the classic, "persons uncommon expression» . CT appearance of a new poetic associations will not cause all that we have not once, not twice seen on previous models of Audi. The design of the latter, in turn, goes back to the conceptual work Nuvolari coupe maestro Walter da Silva, a former designer of Alfa Romeo. The first thing catches the eye, of course, false radiator grille greater heights with the entire front car - from the hood to the lower edge of the bumper, which has already dubbed "the Teutonic shield." Does this fit into the overall style shield model TT? Sure. Perhaps, he looks much more organic here than on other models from Ingolstadt. But that's the problem, which is exactly the same on any modern Audi: from the compact A3 to the A8 representative. Of course, other details of registration Chuck, akin TT Tokyo kontspetom Shooting Brake, highly individual. Of course, the familiar podshtampovki leaping through the hood and sides body, a characteristic sloping roof, the design of the rear wheel arches and relief does not give doubt that the new TT are the evolution of the previous model. But because of the "Teutonic" grille does not leave the impression that the famous coupe simply led to a general znamenatelyu.Zato intererschikov and engineers, in contrast to the designers, no one seems to put strict limits are not - these guys have worked at your pleasure. And maybe that's why in the TT turned out much more interesting than the new coupe interior snaruzhi.Oformlenie creates associations with left-Boltzmann prototype: With just turned in the direction of the center console and steering high longitudinal tunnel for the driver like the cockpit a racing car. Thinking about motor racing and brings Furnishings: chrome bezel kruglyashi duct dials on the dashboard and gear lever, metal plates on the pedals. Steering wheel slightly "flattened" from the bottom, and ingolshtadtskie experts argue that this is not done for aesthetic forest of sports, but only for ergonomic reasons: to high drivers are not propped up the wheel kolenom.Po still at the height of the level of engineering work machine. Features of the original designers approached the problem of weight distribution, characteristic for each front-vehicle. Possible to facilitate front, he was made of aluminum, while the rear compartment - steel. The share of "air" of the metal in the total number of body parts is 69%. Other secrets of its construction in Ingolstadt were not disclosed: competition, trade secret ... But about the features of the chassis is quite willing to talk. The rear suspension is no longer torsion bar, as before, and multi-link, which should provide TT pinpoint handling. By order can also be equipped with the latest coupe suspension Magnetic Ride, in which a damping element uses a special structure with tiny metal particles. Depending on the frequency and amplitude of the oscillation of the wheels and suspension arms, the fluid under the influence of the electromagnetic field changes its viscosity, and accordingly - and stiffness amortizatorov.O engines say very briefly, since they are quite well known from other models of Audi. At first, they will have two 4-cylinder 2.0-liter TFSI, the world's first turbo direct injection 200 hp, and the current atmospheric 3.2 V6 producing 250 hp. with. TT 2.0 will be available only in front-wheel version - while "six" is mounted with the company's all-wheel drive transmission, quattro. Later gamma motor, of course, expand: promise and "budget" 170-hp version, and "charged" version with a 350-horsepower engine Biturbo.Kak know: maybe it is this version of the car thoroughly shake up the public? Meanwhile, the loud echo of the new TT is heard shots - it welled up like a silencer
