Plush Shark

Our old friend told chilling story. In her mid-nineties was a white "Mercedes", she bought it in summer and autumn to find that the stove is not working. She left him on the service and was very surprised when she called and asked sternly: it is this machine? Stove in it was not. Instead, it was a decorative "beard", flip side of a male mouse, and under it - charged TT. The previous owner was a great original: airbag in the steering wheel was not there, instead it was a niche for a smaller gun, like the PM. In addition, there seems to have been some problems with the numbers of units - in short, she got rid of this machine with great difficulty. What do we tell this? A long time since we had no such terrible machine. The huge, black, with a predatory shark snout, four sinister ring to the radiator - it is certainly not the bomb sight and merinovsky not even shevroletovsky Iron Cross, but also fondles self-esteem. It goes quickly, deftly leaps includes xenon - and the inhabitants of the extreme left a number of blows. It seems that even police officers salute. And what to do ... this machine consists of three elements. First, 350 hp. with. and V8 petrol engine of 4.2 liters. Nice, big, powerful and agile, Audi is rightly proud of them. There is a so-called economical diesel version with a turbo: engine V6, three liters, 233 horses. True, it will save some difficult - can you imagine what it would cost triple clean diesel fuel somewhere in Karelia? Correct answer: as many as the best gas stations in Moscow, plus shipping by air. Second, all wheel drive system Quattro. It's worth, it seems, all-wheel drive sedans in all of the brand and a good account of itself. But this one way or another, one can not be surprised, therefore, there is the third component - the size. Q7 specially designed as the largest European SUV in length - 5 m 86 mm - even more than the Hummer H2. These three components are in turn converted into the price, too, one of the highest in its class. It is said that even before the official premiere of the Russians ordered about six SUVs. Oh yeah, they can understand. In the top petrol version has everything except that the pistol. Back-up camera and tweeters in the corners, parktronics designed not so much ease as possible to make parking in the city. However, only a very calm person can park on the hysterical squeaker or just to pass through a narrow yard. Huge trunk opens and closes button - you will never get dirty in the winter. The electronic identification will allow the owner to open the door and start the engine without removing the key from his pocket. True, it is necessary to make sure that within five feet of the car was no one else has a chance to wonder uninvited guests. Enumerate all that is in the car, it is difficult: imagine anything, and it is there. None except that only table in the back seat - to work with a laptop can only lap. But do you - come here to work? It is three hundred and fifty horsepower, six-step automatic with manual shift and the petals on the handlebars, like a "Lamborghini"! In Sport mode, this machine produces a jet roaring and tearing to pieces all around, anyway, unless they fled in advance. Not only that, it's a really jeep. Of course, we did not come to mind to participate in it in serious off-road competition, at least, not on a low-profile rubber highway. But it has adjustable air suspension with speed of 165 mm in the dynamic mode, up to 240 mm in lift mode, and limited-slip differential Torsen. The force is distributed under the scheme 40-60 between the front and rear wheels, and, in general, not being a professional off-road, trunk, chuchelkom, he removes himself from the diagonal display, which means that you can only put him on the belly, and walking distance move the tractor when you try to go on a fishing trip increases markedly. Q7, of course, is saturated with options, but it gives the driver options are endless. You can relax, delegate authority, and the machine will do everything itself: to shift gears, to keep you comfortable cruising speed, turn on and off lights, wipers scraping the glass, turn off the music during phone calls, monitor the distance to nearby cars when you rebuild in heavy traffic, heart-rending scream park parking assistant and even control the splitter - God knows, as it turns out. You can operate on a "boss does everything better than anyone else," disable all options, starting the car by turning the key, not the touch of a button, switch to park on the petals and grinding. It is true that aggressive driving wheel after turning at high speed to return to zero itself - control so the control. If you like it when a five-meter monster begins to scour out of lanes, blinking turn signals, the brightness is not inferior to some of dipped-beam headlamps, if you like to produce a feeling of depression to colleagues in the traffic and the plunge in awe cleaners, Uzbeks - Q7 will bring you such pleasure . And maybe do not have to play with fate, and so rude to show off? After all, it just has a stove, and charged no TT. Maybe you need to pay attention to the four-part separate climate control that adjusts the temperature and intensity separately for all passengers, on an almost perfect suede seats, which further extends another pillow under my knees are long, the electronic driver's seat adjustment with memory for the preferences of two drivers for autonomous control and the rear seats in the third row of seats. With the third row folded trunk volume 775 l, with the expansion is much smaller, but still a great deal. And the four kinds of reticula and locks luggage to choose from! If you allow your child to play on a bus and put him in the third row of seats, he will jump and crawl back and forth - with the third-row seat for a second attempt to move forward from there, will be cast in shame and threats, will play and pester until you calm down . Here it all depends on your patience, or the availability of child seats. The best child - a child is bound. If you sit in the back of a couple, it will decompose seat into a bed king size, there will kiss and make attempts to place the child. What's so: tinted glass strongly, while the rear doors open from the outside engines can not, the music becomes louder, the more external noise. The main thing - time to remind them that they are not alone here. We'll have to shout out loud, or at the far end of the machine you will not hear. If so look at the Q7 - it is incredibly comfortable, very plush car to transport a large family on a difficult road our country. She needs a huge private garage - without compromising in any court it is not priparkuesh, the garage must be accompanied by a house to house - business to business - the numerous servants, and children of the household. In such a construction can not do without a trunk, but not the stove is out of this dismantling. EVALUATION OF "FOR": The size and stuffing: it has all the best to date have come up with a custom automobile. "AGAINST": When the wheel has turned off the options to return to "zero" itself, the brakes may seem insufficiently informative, Moscow courts may be a test driver of art. REZYuMEOchen a lot of car for a lot of money. Classmates Audi Q7Esli not take into account relatives soplatformennikov Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne, the main alternative to the petrol Audi Q7 (from $ 107 673) on the Russian market is the Mercedes-Benz GL450. Its price starts at € 92,4 million ($ 116 million). In the same price league as Audi has also BMW X5 4,4 i - from € 81,6 million ($ 102 thousand), although it is smaller and a few plays into the engine.
