YOUR SEARCH:

not to camp to too apply to the theme of designer findings - them can be judged also from photo. I please to only focus attention on that, how agreeably is cut automobile, as its profile with the line of roof descending to the stern is dynamic, and with what carefulness are studied the details of stern, which free from the sensation of heaviness. Perhaps, there are no doubts about the fact that five-door AE will appear svezho yet not one yr. Already it must attract young and active people by one its exterior view.

Sportback are differed from three-door version, of course, not only in terms of exterior. The wheel base was lengthened on 65 mm, and the tail end of the body - on 83 mm. yes even into the width AE "was heard" on 30 mm. za.scet this volume of baggage hold it grew to 370 liters, and if we accumulate the rear seats, then it is possible to obtain entire 1120 liters under the load. But the matter completely 192 not only in the baggage carrier: additional comfort is guaranteed to all passengers, including who travel behind the driver. Places in the salon it became noticeably more.

Presence of two additional doors, undoubtedly, makes machine more practically. I remember well as 4, every time opening the wide door AE, which visited prolonged test in the editorial staff, it feared to scratch edge, frequently protiskivayas' into the aperture - n fbb and to close stand and even in her own garage boxing. Sportback ensures convenient and easy landing and debarkation.

Interior in the traditionally sport style, with the edged by bright chromium instruments, by deflectors and by handle KP, repeats decoration AE. But there are differences. For example, steering wheel with the trapeziform central element as in the remaining models Audi of new generation. It can be both three - and four-spoked, with the control knobs audio and navigation systems. But in the automobile, first by that reaching to the test, under the thumbs were located two additional small keys, to the left; with the sign "-", to the right - with the sign "+". is understandable that they were intended for the manual gearshift in AKP. But what precisely?

I acknowledge, before the test it read not united line from the press release. Then the first encounter with the most powerful in the gamma 3,2- liter automobile, equipped with in addition unknown AKP, proved to be bright and that memorizing. So here, unhurried I am selected in regime Drive from the airport of nice, I leave to the high-speed main, without a moment's hesitation, I transfer the handle of selector into position Sport and I press on the accelerator pedal. Further occurs something improbable - automobile literally detonates itself to the operational space Beza any meditations and without the least pause. It as if only this awaited! Although in reality after my command it had time instantly to pass with the third to the intermediate speed, "to throw" the pointer of tachometer for the mark "3000", to report to my take in the caressing rumor victorious roar of engine (although muted by splendid noise-isolation) and to rush forward with its entire quickness.

If you think that after the first jerk it although for a moment delayed, then you make mistakes. After being torn away from the place, the pointer of speedometer rapidly moved "apogee" and to stop in its motion clearly was not assembled. Box behaved uncompromisingly, without making possible for motor to decrease revolutions upon transfer to the sequential step. We have already long ago exceeded the maximum permissible speed, but 4, as if that bewitched, in no way wanted "to descend" from the pedal of gas.

Of the torpor me was derived some strange vskhlip to the right - ah, yes! Next on the passenger seat, to the widely opened eyes sat likable representative THE MEDIA. She conducted, to her honor, it is stable, it did not interfere, and having only noted that 4 slightly "it were distracted from the matter", focused attention, that very soon - turning and congress to the secondary road. I know, large colored display and soft, but demanding voice of navigation system in time will remind one of the forthcoming maneuver.

When we proved to be on the mountain paper streamer, 4 has already been mastered with new AKP. And he understood, for example, that, in contrast to other "automata" with the possibility of manual gearshift, to rock handle is thoughtless. For the manual control there are those button- keys themselves under the thumbs. If we are fitted, then, on the whole, with them it is possible to cope sufficiently deftly. The automobile reacts rapidly and honestly to each pressure, so that to storm turns - one pleasure.

Pravda, here 4 it is simply obligated to speak about control. There are no special claims to the sharpness of control and the electrical amplifier - baranka grows heavy with an increase in the velocity, and 2,7 revolutions from the "support to the support" - certain mean statistical and, on the whole, acceptable index. Although personally me it would like larger sharpness. But here the diameter of steering wheel is clearly more than it is required. In the mountains in me appeared a feeling, that me they force to superfluously work, if I desire to pass the bonds of turnings at the decent speed and furthermore to use in this case keys is inconvenient. 4 it would prefer baranka, let us say, from Audi TT.

From other side, I understand - why in Sportback everything is disposed precisely so, but not otherwise. Not too "sharp" control are wide 190 m with rim makes control of dullish, but important-looking, pardoning insignificant errors and ensuring, thus, additional safety. Finally, stylish young person or the girl - main potential buyers of model, it is not completely obligated to experience a constant shortage of adrenaline in the blood and to know how to professionally automobile in the extreme situations. But in order to vpechatlit' friend eд or friend, possibilities in Audi Sportback it is more than it is sufficient.

Finally - about so pleased to me 6- stepped box DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox), one of most important, from my point of view, innovations in AE. The system of dual cohesion with electrohydraulic control arrived from the peace of auto-sport, that also makes it possible to conduct machine in the purely sport style. It is not enough that it ensures the best even in comparison with the 6- stepped "mechanics" dynamics, so still makes it possible to economize fuel-. True, only paired with the gasoline engines. Turbodizele the expenditure of solyarki let is very insignificant with the 2- the liter, but it is more.

One additional noticeable innovation - is 200- strong engine 2,0 tfsi, with the direct fuel injection and the turbine supercharger. This constructive solution also arrived from the auto-sport, it is more precise - from the famous races in Leman, where Audi R8 - out of the competition. TFSI ensures the maximum torque and power in the improbable wide range of revolutions that, I tried, makes trip on the automobile of simply entrancing equipped with it. Yes even two-liter FSI with the power of 150 hp is also good. On the honor speaking, practically with any of the proposed motors Audi Sportback it is capable to present sport mood.

Which is still important: chasing on the paper streamers, I noted that on the hardness of body Sportback hardly is inferior three-door AE. Machine behaves in any situations very confidently and it is predicted.
