CLUB "12 CYLINDER»

A thin rim tire sank into the snow - it seems the car is worth only a giant devyatnadtsatidyuymovyh wheels, but through the "spokes" look through the huge pancake of brake discs. If you do not look into the details behind a top-side of "eight" is not very different from the more modest versions with engines V8. Another thing is the front: a luxurious chrome grille, trapezoid style of racing, "Auto Union" 30's seen a mile away, is particularly impressive it will look in the rearview mirror. Serious sizes falshradiatora hinted on engine capacity - say, it is necessary to breathe! Another innovation - the world's first LED daytime lights. Outlining the logo in the shape of a trapezoid instead of the previous ring appeared on the hub and wheel - well, there is a single style. And with quality finishing order: beige and brown skin, light or dark wood, shiny chrome - a modest charm of luxury. I'm trying to adjust the seat and just down from the account: there is servo head restraint and seat belt retractable roll under the knees, "break" back, built-in heating, ventilation and massage for four memory control. Why, mirror on the back of the sun visor - and then the "dual mode": flat under the top - and even magnifying makeup! While the cabin to settle in, get warm, obsoh - I feel life is getting better. Forces of inertia and a dozen in the Square, you know that I did not like the new "Audi"? The fact that, having won a complete victory over the noise and vibrations, the designers could not "undo" the forces of inertia. They are particularly evident at the start: a deaf vzryk engine is barely audible through the double-layer glass, there is no tension, squeak of rubber, nothing breaks the atmosphere of relaxing comfort - but suddenly tense neck muscles trying to resist the unknown force that throws back her head. Tremendous momentum two-ton vehicle upgraded motor attached W12. In comparison with that established in the previous A8, he added three dozen "horses" and the same number of Newton-meters: now the engine produces from its six-liter 450 hp. with. and 580 Nm Recall, the engine is different and is made up of non-standard configuration, in fact, two blocks from the VR6 (camber angle in a block of only 15 °), situated at an angle of 72 °. "Double-ve 'got a very compact - only 513 mm in length, as usual V8! For the same reason the drive mechanism for timing (with variable valve and intake and exhaust valves) positioned at the rear end of the engine. It's too bad that was not lucky with the weather, but in such conditions is really apparent advantages versions quattro - six-liter "eight" are manufactured only with permanent four-wheel drive and limited slip center differential, "Thorsen". Trying to find the limit of possibilities of such a machine - an occupation for suicide, self-preservation is triggered much earlier stabilization system. Occasionally comes across just wet asphalt, you can deal with six-speed "automatic» Tiptro-nic. In addition to the normal mode D, is the sporty and S - there are only five gears and they are included later, at higher speeds. Conveniently rendered (optional) control box, two petals under the steering wheel allow, without taking your hands to switch up or down in the range of six (D) or five (S) programs. At some point, I catch myself thinking that are slow to shift, while enjoying a dull roar of a powerful engine and its immediate impact - in the range 2300-5300 rev / min to give the power unit is capable of at least 95% of the maximum moment! The standard adaptive air suspension adjusts not only the amount of clearance (by the way, you can do this by hand), but also adjusts the shock absorber characteristics in accordance with the quality of the coating. Not satisfied - it is possible to order the suspension of execution of Sport. As, however, and the steering wheel and seat - but then you have to sacrifice the built-in "masseuse". LETTER L change the priority top-of "eight" is presented in two versions: normal and extended for 130 mm base. Bukovka L aft means a change in priorities: in the car sitting behind the owner will carry the driver. That is why - more soft and comfortable 18-inch wheels, a 'long' final drive (3.32 instead of 4.05). The increase in weight is negligible, only 35 kg, a loss in dynamics is almost imperceptible - an extra "ten" to disperse hundreds. But behind a truly royal comfort, you can order a separate seat - with a lot of adjustments, memory, heated, ventilated and massage. Between the seats, but the remote control climate (of course, a two-band), placed telephone, mini bar, refrigerator, in the headrests of front seats - a pair of 6.5-inch color LCD monitor. There are also issued for front seat - pushing it, you can fully extend his legs. PRESTIGE CLUB Worldwide, only sold about 6 thousand twelve-luxury cars, mostly of German manufacture. Despite the meager sales, the competition is very tough: leadership in this segment gives a high status that halo falls on all other models of the company. New A8W12 fresh main competitors, offers original technical solutions, and therefore has the potential to favor buyers. In any case, marketers "Audi" hopes to triple sales in the exclusive club of "12 cylinders." At the Paris Motor Show in 1931 showed "Horch-670" with a 12-cylinder engine volume of 6.0 liters and 120 liters. with. It features advanced technical solutions and high quality workmanship. Maximum speed convertible weighing 2,300 kg was 140 km / h, fuel consumption - 26 l/100 km, the cost of RM 23.5 thousand - about as ten middle-class sedans. Total up to 1934 was released 63 Convertible (Type 670) and 20 "pulmanov" (Type 600). Motor W12, consisting of two blocks VR6, extremely compact - just 513 mm in length! Behind the top model is distinguished by, among nameplates, oval exhaust pipes. Distinguish vehicles with standard and extended (rear) can only base on the rear door aperture. Under spoke steering wheel controls are hidden petals "automatic". If desired A8L can be converted into an office on wheels. Even with the standard five-meter base "eight" is very spacious. OUR REFERENCE In Russia, sales of long wheelbase "Audi-A8 6,0 L quattro» begins in April, the cost of standard equipment - $ 163.6 thousand cars a normal basis will a little later.
