Nuclear-non-nuclear, but for all direct competitors Audi-activity akin to carpet bombing. This spurt in 15 years: If you do not think about Autounion and Horch, then what about the cars from Audi, we heard the name in ancient times did not drastically restructuring? Maybe Quattro? When Yeltsin ordered the White House fired tanks, you know what Audi model you could buy? Only two "weave" herring-barrel-yes "vosmidesyatku!" In a desperate fight with two monsters-tribe Audi rolled out and roll their own counter-proposals. Youthful energy, engineering talent and new technologies have led to what is today the model of "Audi" have the money, status, and the price can compete with 'Mercedes' and BMW's! In almost every niche has its Audi-alternative. Almost. But perhaps it is time to not only catch up, what is worse, as you know, just wait. It is time to do what others do not. Show what is Ingolstadt on the Hamburg-schetu.Superkar nesuperkar ... This is all the journalists. The Audi one of the words tactfully does not say. First of all, what it is - supercar - still need to negotiate. A sharp nose and a motor in the trunk? Not quite what I understood. And yet, why all the talk on "The R8 supercar or not?" So it's worth it just to watch and from any angle, and all becomes clear - a supercar. But if you look at the features: 4.6 "hundreds", 420 hp - Not a supercar. Just a good sports car. That's the focus. As it happens, the Germans, like the best, but it turned out, as always. That is much better. Designer overdone. Who does not believe that in the XXI century can make a car that does not look like anyone else, look at the R8. Eye, I repeat, it is difficult to tear. This samostiynost and Square - a huge advantage of the creation of Walter De Silva. Men love eyes. Even the notorious "zhelezyachnik" hardly choose a car just because it has a mid-komponovka.No tried not only to the designer. No less difficult was to tear his eyes from the dull shiny aluminum frame space, bright and shining surfaces of the engine shafts and rods, which we demonstrated at a special presentation. Which gets to the respect these guys, engineers with simple German officials, in baggy suits and unfashionable galstukah.V car sat in the morning, after a 15-hour flight and a night excursion to the casino. Since the days of saloons F360 sports car ceased to be torturous. Audi, constantly balancing between business and the glamor, and maintain a balance here: everything is conveniently and discreetly expensive. But the sound of the engine - a real chic. Popoteli acoustics. Invigorates and caresses odnovremenno.V Las Vegas driving a column. The organizers did not dare to entrust their offspring to journalists free use. That explains a lot. But even in such difficult circumstances the car could be felt. Let go riding in front of three hundred meters of a colleague, and then fry might. The same technique. And by mid-afternoon we arrived at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where are your favorite amerikatsami different races on an oval. On the oval itself, where possible speed under three hundred, we again were not allowed, but a special track to shield the cones, and bunches of straight. You could get rid of fully. Some managed to deploy the cone on the fourth car. A lot of this power or not? There was clear and finally, that the machine operated perfectly. Reactions to the helm almost instantly, any trajectory of the discharged easily, without a sweaty back and wrist strain. If you had too much speed, ESP will correct you courteously, and you'll think you're such a master of passing the turns. And if you start skidding, it gently to begin, predictably, and discharge of gas immediately cease. Or driving a car after the correction will be some time to move in sliding. Kicks! Brakes, not even ceramic (available as an option), work accurately and without reducing efficiency in our zaezdov.Nemnogo upset robotized transmission. If automatic peregazovki during the transition to lower transmission are perceived as uncontrollable, but the useful life, "podpinyvaniya" when shifting up - most annoying than funny. And for this reason that I was also delighted with the manual transmission. It's a rare pleasure to have on the right foot pedal with a profiled point 430, and in his right hand - this knob with which plated pin stuck into a delicious groove necessary transfer. If not with a bang, then with some rattling. On the third or fourth gear you can ride all day on his own business and do not switch. Therefore, the urban operation does not seem tough. It is, of course, sometimes the left foot to work the clutch and squeeze. But this is my kayf.Nekotorye journalists trying R8 with the "mechanics", complained that when driving at a fast pace did not fall. In the slot, which goes lever gearbox. What you say? At the piano, too, not all turns out. Although the thrust of training, tend to give results. And if not, then do not have too! Not necessarily the "Appassionata," and can "Groundhog Day" mentally ispolnit.Da, Audi built a supercar is not if we understand the term as "could not be better" for the company. And just a supercar. Balanced. Harmonious. Original. The prototype supercar. Because today you can put in ceramic brakes, V10 with 600 hp Lambo from under the back cover and poshamaniv with the transmission, go for this machine faster than 4 seconds to "hundreds." Here you will supercar Audi SR8. Bet?
