No compromises

The car was too comfortable to be called a sport, but its precise reactions lacked sharpness. It was felt that the design incorporated TT greater potential than what was realized in the "civilian" versions. Indeed, Audi coupe version coming forth battle, received the designation quattro sport. As the name implies, responsible for preparing the car is on the experts division quattro GMBH. I must say that sport is a fashionable word - not an empty phrase. Audi TT quattro sport - this is sport, in the right sense. Free Sports kompromissov.Vneshne is one of the best (if not the best) versions of the TT. 18-inch 15-spoke wheels look amazing, too, S Line body kit leaves no chance critics. Well, black roof makes it clear: in front of us - a special version. By the way, mirror housings are also black. As the exhaust system pipes. Aesthetics! Open wide, but very low door, and evaluate the chances for trouble-free ingestion. Since when is a trip to the Audi TT started to appear complexity? More recently - when a car racing set deep bucket Recaro. I had to add up to three deaths and gently squeeze the body inward. Armchair surprised vertical landing - it wanted to remove his jacket and a little lower back. Demonstrating the wonders dexterity, I managed the first goal, but the second proved intractable. Bucket can only be moved forward / backward. Strict sports distsiplina.V general, to "direct backs" had to get used to. As to the lack of adjustment of the steering wheel in a vertical plane. And I always warn the passenger, who was going to take a seat next door to be careful sitting down. Taught with the precedents of previous unsuccessful landings fellow travelers on the fifth tochku.Oglyanuvshis ago, I discovered places "2", which is on the "civil» TT. That's right, in the fight against excess weight they were removed. C-pillar now connects strut and luggage fenced grid. Neither give nor take - car! Steering wheel, gearshift lever and the "hammer" trimmed with suede. The solution of a rare, looks nice, but subjectively by feel not too good - no glove hand slides. Small bagel, makes from stop to stop a little more than 2.5 turns. Moderately sharp steering. Pedal, as usual, provided with polished metal plates. Instead, the climate control - the usual "stove": gain in weight - 12 pounds! Struggle with weight, incidentally, was in many ways. As a result, skilled office quattro TT sport could make up to 75 pounds lighter than the stock version with the 1.8 turbo engine. And yet here it is better weight distribution on the axles: floor rear borrowed from a 3.2-liter model, allowing the battery to move bagazhnik.Kstati, lack of seat adjustment, as it turned out, to some extent compensated by the possibility of their transformation. Profile Suede elements are mounted on a "Velcro", are easily dismantled and installed in the right place. For example, it became much easier when the lumbar support cushion has been stuck just below. Another curious detail - the seat frames are painted body color. And one more - they have no time to start the engine podogreva.Odnako. Do not be a rocket scientist to understand all the advantages of a light turbo on a compact coupe. Of course, the merits of the 3-liter engine abound. This is more power and torque flat shelf. However, heavy motor sensations worse suited to this avtombilyu. But with a little 1.8-liter "turbo" coupe turns into a fast and perfectly controlled bomb. Amazingly accurate is manual transmission with short-traveled mechanism lets you forget about DSG - here it is not necessary. Because sport involves a private performance of all important operations to manage the machine! Car agile, clear in the reactions. Fun to drive extraordinary. On a lighter TT limber willingly dives into corners, the car instantly responds to movement of the helm. Suspension and steering subdued energy consumption. Short-and it is, nevertheless, sufficiently ensures comfort. The car has been uneven, but elastically bouncing on a special dish nih.Esche TT - acceleration. Coupe reaches 100 km / h in 5.9 seconds - a decent rate. Motor truly revealed after the 2000 revolutions, flat shelf time available in a range from 2300 to 5000. After about 3800 rpm - a powerful pickup. Now the main thing - to switch quickly and clearly, so as not to fall into the turbo-hole. With a manual transmission and clutch are well tuned to make it relatively easy. I was able to accelerate to 240 km / h. Under the wheels of a snow blizzard of chalk, but there was no hint of loss of control over mashinoy.V center console - a series of round buttons. One of them is labeled ESP, and it sure clicks, anyone who wants to get to the TT maximum of positive emotions. I clicked. Frost made the roads of snow and ice, and the practice of passing bends sideways as you can ugodno.Kak known, the all-wheel drive TT - electronically controlled multi-plate clutch Haldex, which distributes torque to the axes, as they say in real time. System Settings - truly drayverskie. The machine "exposed" herself, we just need dovernut steering wheel and to increase the supply of fuel. First, the front wheels slip out, but it immediately enters electronics, and that torque from the rear axle, the car starts to rotate inside the screwed! The process is easily controlled, the car is very obedient. Perhaps the winter and slippery roads - the best time of year for the realization of all-wheel drive transmission features. Rape shod in wide tires on the pavement the car would just zhalko.Kstati, to a vertical landing, I soon got used to and get a seat get the hand. However, to recommend TT quattro sport as a vehicle for every day it is impossible. Such a car should cost in the garage, waiting in the wings. Generally it is better to bring a rocket to the track, in her cramped to be. Prices and equipment Audi TT quattro sportAvtomobil in the base is estimated at $ 65 375.
