Interview with Executive Director of Audi America

The status quo - obviously not a situation with which to associate Johan de Nisshen (Johan de Nysschen). Less than 18 months, Johan deliberately rasshevelival Audi America. Executive Vice President, a native of South Africa - not satisfied with the idea about the Audi on the vast U.S. market. In Europe, the German department at this stage is on a par with competitors such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. In the U.S., the company is not on that level, selling only a third of the volume sold may cars. Interviews were conducted in Northern New Jersey, where the journalists were given the opportunity to test a new model of Q7, the first sports car company profitable - and do not seem to last as stated enthusiastically Nisshen. According to the journalist, 46-year-old CEO is full of ideas about development and growth of the company. Imagine an interview with a journalist project THECARCONNECTION and CEO of Audi America Johan de Nisshen. THECARCONNECTION: Completed a series of car Audi? Do you plan to have the completion of off-road vehicles or other models? Johan de Nisshen: No, the car number of Audi is not yet complete - we're going to fill it. As the replenishment will make a new model SUV, possibly even two of its models. In addition, there will be more sports cars - models between TT and the new S8. The fact that we move from production-based platform to block the production gives us more flexibility and the ability to produce derivatives of the car. If you look at the concept of 2006 Road Jet, presented at the Auto Show in Detroit, slightly elevated and with a small footprint - then we can judge that we have in mind the words of the derivatives of the car.

Audi A2

Four years ago, after the Mercedes A-Class, it became clear that a trifle paunchy and welcome in the most decent car home. Audi - a decent house to stiffness, all fixated on its own solidity. In the guise of Audi A2 is no hint of frivolity inherent kids. Others want to compare with some there ladybirds, frogs and other sweet nonsense - this kid "audioznaya" solidity and pret. Where ever heard to a machine the size of a "Zaporozhets" base color was black lacquer-like habit of chlenovoza. And other colors are cheerful range A2 can not call - all couched in a conservative-soothing colors. Boring, frankly. Nutro also as adults. The man on the A2 peresevshy big Audi, you might not notice the change. Firstly, because there are a lot borrowed from the big ones - for example, corporate chetyrehspitsevy steering wheel (very easy in itself, and even with a full range of adjustments rake: up and down and back and forth), paddle switches, dashboard and even such stylish detail, as samovydvigayuschiesya holders on the center console. Second, because the cabin is very spacious. Four people in it more than comfortably, five of them - quite well, if the rear rider is not very wide in the bone. "Outside a small, inside a large" - the principle that once formed the basis of development of city-car format, implemented in the A2 just brilliant. The machine is solid, comfortable and convenient. That is only with the glove compartment did odd. Was quite possible to make it not so distrofichno-tiny, if not the top of the torpedo was flattened for a device with a shelf handrail.

Audi A8 L 4.2 quattro

This morning I even dressed in a special way: after all have to pretend to be a personal driver of a certain hypothetical big boss. Short leather jacket driver's carefully ironed pants, comfortable shoes are strong and at the same time. Only the cap, such as prescribed by bourgeois standards, did not wear. We like it has been made. Maybe because the personal driver also wants to master the machine sometimes seem, at least on the way to the garage? To equip the workplace. How can there comfortably! And they say that this car only for the boss in the back seat ... Yes, everything is for me the driver! Ergonomics and set various "luxuries of life" is much better than in the car "for the boss behind the wheel" - the new Audi A6. Adjustments to the chair is more, an ashtray in his place, that is to come, and not under his elbow, and in general as something roomier. It is clear that the higher class car, but so much attention to the driver? .. No, it's nice of course. And a heated coaster for him, and small screen TV on-board computer can see and listen to music again without interfering with the boss: localize sound audio system in the driver's position (is there such a function), and fun. But the boss behind it will be boring. No, much to the comfort level is something else - it's already too much. Space for the "couch" - the sea. Even the most beautiful top manager be as comfortable to place their limbs. Chairs, of course, governed by servo - you can organize themselves sofa chaise, and you can build and something like an office favorite leather chair.

Under the gaze of Audi A3

Manual says Audi, A3 model - is not something new, it's just the next model. Thus, the automaker says that A3 - this is the first new class of auto vehicles in Europe - "the highest class of compact cars." In truth, this class is already released a few years ago model Mercedes-Benz C230. But the emergence of A3 indicates the seriousness with respect to the total premium category, which soon will include the BMW 1 - series and the new B-Class from Mercedes. A3 - a new model for North America and can be equipped with a new Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) from Audi - manual 6-speed transmission with automatic gear-driven and multi-disc clutch two. 6 denote positive qualities in models 2006 - Audi A3: 1) The combination of 2-liter turbocharged engine and the new DSG transmission gives us great power. Double overhead cams, direct injection gasoline turbo-charged and 10.5:1 ratio transformation gives a small amount of motor ability of high power and torque curve of change. The maximum torque between 1,500 and 5,000 rev / min. A pair of balance shafts helps the engine run more smoothly and stroke on fuel - efficient enough to estimate both A3 cars with ultra-low emissions to the environment. A bold and effective - a great combination, and the model satisfies all the provisions of the Office for Environmental Protection - gallon at 38 miles per gallon in the city and 50 km on the highway. Of course, you can agree on a standard transmission with manual control switch and speed independently, or can opt for the new DSG and not worry about pressing the clutch pedal and shifting the gear lever or the speed.

2003 Audi A4 Cabriolet

Tenerife, Canary Islands - Audi has conquered our gig, which serves as a base for the new A4. Of course, the management of Audi would like to become a model worthy competitor to the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz CLK320. Style, space and durability - the main qualities of this exceptionally well-made model. The car would look even more striking if the interior was lined with not a black and cream leather. But then it would have had to suffer because of spots of rain, because of divorce from the particles of soot, in such an abundance of flying from the exhaust pipes of old trucks and buses. Sometimes it seems that for them to introduce a rule exhaust "the square root of a Euro." Exterior and interior finishes are not like other cars. TT round air vents, regrouped equipment, excellent seats with adjustable backs, and even a long list of standard equipment - automatic climate control, multifunction steering wheel, the group switch that can manage all the side windows simultaneously. Along with the advantages, there are drawbacks - the front seat belts are not built into the seat structure, the visibility of the rear view of a third with an open roof. But with the handling during acceleration the situation is somewhat worse. Despite the front-wheel drive, convertible demonstrates reduced steering precision under acceleration. Gather in the night travel, and be prepared to constantly keep an eye in the rearview mirror. But at high speeds while driving on the highway A4 Cabriolet feels like home.

2005 Audi A4

For the first time he saw Andi A4 - model 1996 it was clear that Audi has not only refused to enter into the abyss, but thanks to this model, the company began to rapidly climb to the summit. It was a brilliant solution to the German engineering and a model of style. Time has shown that this model was destined to become the first in a series of spectacular models and «haute couture» interior. But time goes on, the changes occur. And though they have touched and the Audi A4, they were not so much. Housing cars has become more wedge-shaped, although the platform, which is based on the model remained the same, remained the same and the upper threshold for external drain, in the case of S4 - all in the cabin. The modified model - a bit expensive, especially with the controversial massive metal bars. It's hard not to notice the chrome front of tending forward. None impulsive man in the main streets of Palermo has not left unnoticed and apparently himself said car on which we passed. Interior A4 (with the wooden surface finish) - more than straights. Prevoshodnyya radio-navigation system - is clear to everybody. Any basic function, has its own button, like an adjustable rotary button surrounded by four others. CD changer for 6 CDs - is standard, as the multifunctional steering wheel, central control, cup holders have been modified in design to prevent spills on the radio. The model is equipped with the best new FSI engine. The main engine of 2.0 liter turbo generates 197 hp power, which achieved a large jump from 170 hp.

Audi TT Roadster

Great style, intricate and sophisticated technology and more power. We had a lot of concern about the gearbox DSG. Do you? TT model comes with a price of $ 47,295, and can compete with this car with a top opening, as the Corvette, Z4, 350Z and Boxster. This will be an unusual article - an article containing statements as of muzhschiny journalist and a woman, because the dialogue will continue to lead - He and She. 2005 Audi TT Roadster with a V6-engine in volume of 3.2 L: German design and execution together in sporty driving, but if you're ready to put no small amount for it? She: I never could understand what to call Audi, releasing their own models, even with the emergence and after driving 2005 Audi TT 3.2 Roadster Quattro, with it the heavy base MSRP - $ 42 900. Of course, any of us knows what the owner paid the Audi is not a small price for the car, but what justifies this high quality? - For the fuzzy and rough style of execution? He: TT with the engine capacity of 3.2 liters and 250 hp - A great car, easy maneuvering in traffic, good performance and style that still attracts the attention of all as well as 5 years later, when the first model appeared. She: Chic? Speaking of seats, with manual control? Yes, the model includes an improved audio package worth $ 1200, 18-inch wheels with 7-spoke, high-quality winter tires - worth $ 775, the optical skin - $ 1000. In addition, the proposed package «Premium Package», which includes heated front seats and a transmitter system Homelink Remote Transmitter.

Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro Tiptronic

Bankers. This is the sort of people whom we expect to see behind the wheel of Audi. Or lawyers. People standing firmly on its feet. I'm sure you'll agree. The problem is that they are a little bit boring and bothersome. In this issue, and Audi. Because with each new model, Audi is trying to add leadership to a few additional new features sports. The most obvious attempt at this is the new common front car. First shown on Nuvolari concept metal grille on the front of the car found a continuation of its existence, the new A8, A3 and models next year - A4. In our opinion, best of all it is represented on the A6. Although Audi - more car for conservative people, there is no doubt that the company hopes to sell to those who irritate the new BMW 5-series. Inside, the central panel at an angle in a way that was previously used in the BMW. However, the quality of materials - high, and finish, made by the metal-metal really. Despite this strong moments, there are several minor weaknesses - switches on the top look cheap and fragile, like the console stand, and none of the many buttons are not emphasized in the interior and we can say that these buttons are only tactile. Intuitively, you can not figure out what features are responsible for each button. Only a button click can help you determine what you need it. We thought that the idea of ??systems Audi MMI and BMW iDrive is needed to get rid of pletormy buttons and switches. However, when we see about 15 buttons on MMI - how can we think about simplifying the management?

2004 Audi A6 2.7T S-Line

So I had the opportunity to explore and try out in the 2004 Audi A6. Once I found myself inside the car driver's seat in the proportional and the front driver's door separated me from the outside world, I forgot about all their problems and gravitate thoughts that swirled in my head all day. Surrounded by muted tones and soft skin of detail in the decoration of fine wood and exquisite detail of aluminum, I sank into a state about which we can say - automotive utopia. I heard that the A6 - and saw how good is not cheap this car, but now, at least, I understood why German brands such wring their prices - "authenticity" and "purity" of the four-door of happiness can not be cheap. A6 Model 2004 has evolved from excellent luxury sport sedan, the turbo of 2.7 liters and 265 hp Beginning in 1996, Audi started the modernization of the A6, which has touched smooth lines, rounded surface. Proportionally, A6 - perfect. Its spacious interior is surrounded by glass, which contributes to a sense of airiness and openness in a sedan. The narrow rear pillar helps the driver for the 360 ??gradusovogo review. Without doubt, the passengers will enjoy a high level of comfort in the cabin of cars. Evaluation were subjected to many of the characteristics corresponding to characteristics of the class of vehicles of high quality - and it's power and heated seats, dual-system and climate control, air conditioning and audio system. But what really distinguishes the A6 from the class of luxury cars - Audi is attention to detail, quality materials and a stunning design work.

Audi A3

A small car must be inexpensive - is convinced the majority of car owners. It is laid on a subconscious level: large crayfish - five rubles, small - three. The problem of choosing just difficult when suddenly offer little in five. And these are small - not even some special (non-sporting, not a discovery, not trendy), and the usual conventional hatchbacks same engines and transmissions. The compact front-wheel-trehdverka, 102-horsepower engine with the "mechanics", 16-inch alloy wheels, leather-interior and parking sensors alkantarovy, CD-changer and separate climate control - is a new A3 for 25 thousand dollars. Former Audi A3 is also worth more than their classmates. Being virtually a copy of the fourth "Golf" (the same platform and same range of engines), this machine differed only overpriced by several thousand price. Why? "Because the owner of a big Audi, if it wants to buy a car less, buy it anyway, of course, Audi», - as people talked of Ingolstadt. Maybe he miscalculated. VW Golf in millions "edition" every year, and the compact Audi at any time since the beginning of production in 1996 was made only 875 thousand in Russia for the Audi A3 firmly ingrained image of the car that his father financially secure family gets to his wife or to their adult offspring (often - "a burden" to his new Allroad or A8). Therefore, before you test drive the new "treshki" We had already decided to myself that if this situation Audi satisfied, we expect nothing from the revelation of the new A3.

Looking to the future with Audi

Company Audi - the company producing passenger cars of good quality and excellent generalists, but now is not about that. Let's look a little forward - for future models that will face us more exotic. Together with the corresponding project Worldcarfans.com Konradt Andreas (Andreas Conradt) learn about some of the company's plans. Inspired by the success of mid-size sedan, represented by companies Mercedes (CLK) and BMW (3 series), Audi will soon introduce a new Audi A5, if you will - the successor to the legendary later A4 sedan. The new chassis, depending on the pointed body, form the basis of the next generation A4 and A6. Next model A4 will be launched in autumn 2008, as a model for the 2009 model year. Nevertheless, the new framework will be first applied to the A5 coupe, which is positioned (as evident from the title) between the A4 and A6 in price and size. A5 style is influenced by the concept Nuvolari concept car, which can see the reflection and on new-generation TT. This will be a spacious 4 local auto and it is expected that the model will be available by the end of 2007, a year later with a convertible soft-top roof and tissue replaces the current model A4 cabrio. The new A5 will have a large model on the same platform. A7 will be bigger and presented in 4-door version, and therefore, it will be a sort of answer Mercedes-Benz CLS and even Porsche Panamera. But let's take a different look at the A5. Audi is planning to combine in a "5" coupe and SUV, similar to the Opel Signum, offering a more spacious interior than the A4, a higher roof and a hatchback rear door.

Audi Q7 was awarded the highest mark of safety

Large German SUV Audi Q7 earned the highest safety evaluation (Top Safety Pick) crash test of the American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Specialists of the Institute noted that the machine has proved excellent in all the trials and, plus everything in the basic version is equipped with Vehicle Stability Control, which experts say greatly reduces the risk of serious accidents. To determine the reliability of the Audi Q7 was subjected to the 3rd test. The first - front crash test at 64 km / h on the deformable barrier, the impact in this case falls on the driver's half of the car. Another test - side impact, for the mobile barrier, simulating a heavy SUV, breaking up to 50 km / h and hit the middle rack in the car. The third test - a blow to the back of the vehicle at a speed of 32 km / h, here focuses on the design of head restraints as well as back injuries and cervical spine are most common in these accidents. In all three crash tests Q7 scored 4 points out of 4 possible. Cab car is not deformed after impact, the dummies and the sensors have not detected significant damage. In the more reason for the success - of the car, which is "standard" includes in addition to front airbags, "pillow-curtains" for all 3 rows of seats and side airbags for the front torsion-row seat. At the request of customers can order side airbags and torsion for the rear seats. The institute noted that the typically large off-road vehicles do not fall within the interests of IIHS.

Just tell the navigator: "Time to go home»

A five-year cooperation of BMW and Garmin navigation systems, the design has a consequence. When you create a PNS Plus and PNS Pro company took into account everything: the readability of information in bright light, the ability to give voice commands to its PNS, PNS use in walking, memory space parking lot and even muting the music when a voice command returns. BMW designers and Garmin have developed a special easy-holders, which allow you to safely and securely fix PNS in the cabin. Such holders are flush mounted and have no suckers. PNS can be easily removed and taken with you in a walk. At the same PNS automatically remembers the coordinates of the location where the device was removed from the holder. And on the way back, you will not get lost and can easily find a parking place of the car. The devices available 'where am I?' (Where am I?), The Navigator shows your position and displays the information on nearby shops, petrol stations, hospitals, police stations and, of course, public toilets. Navigators have 4.3-inch touch screen with high resolution, with which it is convenient to read the information even in bright sunlight. The current location is marked with colorful icon car BMW. The devices work with both two-dimensional and three-dimensional maps, supported by Turn-by-Turn Navigation instructions, and can warn of approaching the various points of interest POI, the device can "remember" up to 200 points on the same route. On both the PNS determined set of multimedia features: Bluetooth hands-free with speaker and microphone, built-in MP3 player.

"Smart" lighting

In the development of new automotive technology major lines of work are now improving vehicle safety and environmental performance. BMW contributes to the development of the first areas: road safety. The innovative lighting technology from BMW is able to take into account the vertical and horizontal relief road, and the presence of oncoming vehicles traveling ahead, and vehicle speed. Depending on all these factors, "intelligent" system changes the intensity and direction of the headlamps. How? Read on. Adaptive HA, developed by BMW, is able to change the angle of the light cone lights, depending on the vertical profile of the road. Simply put, the system keeps track of which way you go, and if you start moving up the hill or from it, changing the angle of incidence so as to best illuminate the space in front of the car. For the relief of watching the special sensors, they detect the slope of the road surface and transmit data to a control unit which, in turn, given the speed and angle of the road, looking forward to what angle to turn lights and transmits a signal to the light cones, so they turned to the calculated angle. lighting of the roadway allows for the vertical profile of the road. Adaptive HA works not only when driving uphill or into it, it also compensates for the high loading the car, slightly lowering the light cones of headlights, and lift the heavy braking lights, respectively. Another innovative feature of the BMW - it's rotating adaptive light.

Ford Hi Pa - 600 horses electronics

The exhibition SEMA Show, held in Las Vegas, was a new model of the American manufacturer Ford - F-150 Hi Pa. What is it so remarkable? Hi Pa has an output of 600 horsepower and goes with the ... electricity! The secret to achieving such power is simple - the developers of Ford «remembered" about the technology, invented in the early 20th century, the motor-wheels. Motor-wheel - a kind of electric motor, located in the wheel of a car. Originally they were used by ... bicycles. And then, with the advent of this technology gasoline engines postponed collecting dust on the shelves in the archives. In motor-wheels were a few significant drawbacks: they increased the weight of the car and nepodsensornuyu gap between the rotor and the stator near the road surface, due to significantly worse handling car, especially in bad weather conditions. Now Ford has decided to revive the forgotten technology, eliminating its shortcomings (in the Ford Motor Company helped PML and DST Industries), and making a huge breakthrough in electric cars. At Ford Hi Pa is set as four-wheel motor. Each of them has an output of 150 horsepower. The use of motor vehicles on wheels eliminates the need for transmission, and frees up space under the hood. After all, there is now no motor and transfer case. Instead, Ford put the rechargeable lithium-ion battery capacity of 40 kilowatts, and system recovery of inhibition. Depending on the mode, Ford Hi Pa can go from 120 to 160 miles without recharging. Its high-capacity battery must be recharged overnight.

Audi RS7 - a seven-step creation of Audi

Company Audi has a very interesting history of its origin. In 1909, the engineer August Horch (August Horch) founded the company «Horch-Werke». He sought to create the first 6-speed manual gearbox, but his writings were not successful and the company suffered huge losses. He was forced to leave his own company. And due to the prevailing circumstances, it created another company he could not name, as well as the first. But Horch found a way out of adversity. He called his automobile concern - Audi Automobil-Werke, as its name horch translated from German means "listen." But, unfortunately, the owner of this company Horch had not be for long, and in 1928 it passed into the possession of Jorgen Skafte Rasmussen. 4 years later the company became one with the automotive companies Auto Union. Acclaim at Audi brought Ferdinind Pitch. He introduced the production 1974 all-wheel drive cars of this brand, in which individual parts are made of aluminum. He also will marketing policy. Pitch decided to produce cars for the army and not only. Since then, production has been established model SUV Volkswagen Iltis. This car had a good cross on the ice, snow and poor weather conditions. Volkswagen Iltis took a leading position in the rankings of other brands of cars. In Geneva, in 1980 there was world-famous model Audi 80 Quattro, whose first passenger models present four-wheel drive, before it was inherent in a SUV and trucks. Each new invention of Audi engineers group was surprised and delighted his fans. 1994 was interesting for the new model Audi - RS2 Avant, which was injected turbocharged engine with 315 liters capacity.

Large German SUV Audi Q7

Reliable elegant car Audi Q7 earned the highest safety assessment in crash tests of the American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Each of us would like to be confident with their own security, and protect their families. This car is proof of that. All this positive vehicle equipped with this mark a basic system of exchange rate stability, which significantly reduces the likelihood of serious accidents. The American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conducted three trials in the car. In the first test has been subjected to risk of the driver, with car moving at 64 km / h. In - the second test, Audi Q7, accelerated to a speed of 50 km / h, hit the middle rack in the car. And finally, in the third, the impact falls on the rear of the vehicle at a speed of 32 km / h. Much attention was paid to head restraints, since the major accident injuries are back injuries and spinal cord. In all three crash tests Q7 of the 4 possible maximum number of balls scored. After inspecting the car found that the cab driver is not damaged, and the sensors have not detected significant dummies strains. The absence of negative outcomes due to the fact that in addition to front airbags in cars is "the pillows - curtains" for all 3 rows of seats and side airbags for the front torsion-row seat. Most SUVs are not subject to inspection by the IIHS. But in this case, the initiative took place on the part of Audi. The company management wanted, what would their customers are confident in their own security by 100%.
