Six hundred and eight

I do not know whether you are impressed to disperse hundreds of 17.4 seconds. Like, so-so, nothing special. It happens quickly and sometimes slowly. And why is a reputable limousine to drive somewhere? Street racing or something? But when we were invited to test drive around the Austrian Salzburg, I took to the dynamics of the A8 from the six-liter engine Lang calmly. Well, maybe too hard elongated car here and do not accelerate like my Focus. Receiving at the hands of "legend" with a description of the recommended route, opened a heavy door and baggy get into a museum setting. Cream leather is not just welcoming distributes itself in body weight, but also swap rollers, including the largest - popliteal, which gives a sense of partial weightlessness. Inside, there is complete silence, the reason - not just good sound insulation, but also rare for engines with fewer cylinders poise. And "idle", not exceeding 500 turns, give the highest degree of acoustic comfort. And there is also a massage! What if a ride? Soft start, short path through the city, and pops up on the motorway A8, leading to Munich. And I have time to integrate before the long-range truck, which is a hundred fuck skillfully and with ardor? Uncomfortable somehow make walking a bit to reduce the rate of rise of slug, although it must do so on the European traffic regulations, if they see someone escaping from the strip overclocking. This, incidentally, to be severely lacking in almost civilized Ring Road, where cars roll out from the adjacent tracks, stopped by the sign "give way" and going to the Teutonic iron systems the main stream ... But I give in "gas" as it should. And I understand that before I did not go at all. I used to just crawl, except in cases of crazy races on a roller coaster and flying in an airplane, where I was still just drove. Because the van is not only, but also passenger car going in the second row is about 180 km / h in seconds disappear in the mirrors. And I have to Audi there is another concern - as it does not get anyone to come. Wait, but what did they mess up there with overclocking? Well, can not be here 17 seconds! "Come look at tehdannye" - I said to my companion. "Yes, exactly, the figure is correct. Only it's not overclocked up to one hundred and two hundred miles an hour! "And the first hundred is overcome funny and almost unreal 5.2 seconds. That is why I "fired"! Even before its maximum, limited, as usual 250 km / h, 6-liter "eight" flies for 30 seconds. Imagined? But even if the 280-strong "string bag" 3.7 drives 250, to what speed can bring the "six liters," if you remove the limiter? I think that kilometers to 300, not less. Do not forget that the car is still "Quattro", that is the way he clings to be healthy. This, incidentally, the only all-wheel drive "six hundredth" in the world. Competing models of the three giants of European business class with 4x4 are not equipped top-end engines. It seems that it is not necessary to test limo cost almost $ 200 000 on patency. But there would be a blessing in disguise. Main places A8L - the second row. There are remote controls, music and climate, folding wooden table and cold-dilnik. And most importantly - very roomy As a further route ran on small roads with many turns, we have laid the recommended route in the "navigashku." And she led us, with varying success, and kept telling the mechanical indifferent tone of upcoming turns and forks. But we got navigate some kind of "brake", and regularly gave out on the monitor are absolutely correct maps and charts, but only with a delay of 200 meters. And, of course, a couple of times we've flown past the desired intersection. Do not worry, deploy, but not on the road - narrow, and the adjacent. But where? Congresses little, and everything to private homes. But back then, the route is necessary. We find a narrow forest track, and quickly, without looking back dive. Let's go through it and understand - come. The same timber, and we will rotate on the ground. But when visibility is poor, not too panoramic view to the rear and the complete absence of time in stock - soon the plane to Moscow - I uhayu reverse straight into a deep muddy puddle of snow and clay. Well, all arrived. The main thing now to find the right phone and the right to explain in German, where exactly we are. A shame-what kind, found only a pool in Austria! Talking to a colleague: get out of the mud, you'll push, branch underlay, but see that I have not dug! But to clear his conscience after all just touched the gas. And what do you think, A8, and any attempts without any probuksovok, went ahead in the same way as would have done it on dry pavement! Drive Quattro, huge pull even at lower levels, traction control and a giant two-ton car wheels tolerate even quite black spots. Can not be a seer to predict good sales A8 6.0 L in Russia. After all, we have not taken to save on buying for myself, the most expensive, and the Audi brand has long been no point to prove its usefulness. So, wait.
