Test Drive Audi RS6 Avant since 2008 Universal

Power reception

The main claim of a Russian person to this car is that it is a wagon. Reservations that he is the most powerful serial station wagon, not in many impress. Powerful, not a powerful barn, what to take from it. And this ugly word is glued to the car, as if stripped under the table gum to trousers. What Russian does not like to hang a couple of extra shortcuts on the bumper of a good car: the same for freight, it's clear! And here is a crowd of zooak, slowly diverges, and the perpetrativity of the disturbance remains alone: \u200b\u200bAudi RS6 Avant with hexagonal honeycombs on the radiator grille, which is hidden a ten-cylinder turbocharged engine.
In the boxes of the French highway, Paul Ricar is tested by new RS6. They look at the track with their headlights with a dozen LED pupils in each. Once there was a rustle in the public, the car was cut by the hot air of the French summer, and the riders drove on the podium by a brief moment of victory. In the late 90s, the Eye of Bernie Ecclestone was put on the road, and now the tests of Formula 1 teams are held here. Therefore, the air on Paul Ricare is still impregnated by speed, and the blue are impatiently inhale inhabit it with all its four Ingolstatov nostrils.
The sport track is perhaps the most successful place where you can fully feel one of the main advantages of RS6. Make the same thing on narrow and winding roads of the French province, among which it is located Paul Ricar, would be a challenge of calm rural life. The first figure that accelerates accelerates to hundreds for 4.6 s. For comparison, the Audi model line so can only be done by the R8 supercar. So that attention is not scattered, the remaining data is listed quickly: the new V10 FSI with double turbocharged, four-wheel drive Quattro, 580 horsepower, 650 nm of torque. With these words, we are planted behind the wheel, warning that the RS6 car is still not racing, but here is the equipment with ceramic brake discs on both axles and racing seats. Yes, by the way, is it not necessary for a helmet just in case?
In the helmets, we would look like real pilots. What is generally justified, RS6, of course, is not a racing car, but it is sports. And in it, the most powerful in the Audi model range, there were enough many developments from the car racing. The main pride TFSI technology that was used in R8 racing, won five victories in the 24-hour Le Mans races. So we go through the circle for the circle, every time everything is faster, more accurate and still without hooligan-raised turns. There would be rain, ice, hail seems to have changed nothing, everything would still be as powerful and just as quatrop.
Although it is obvious that RS6 is heavy for track. It would still be in it almost five meters of length and two tons of twenty-five kilograms of empty weight, add a lot of driver, his bags, as well as a jacket forgotten by some of the impressed test pilots. But each rated gram from this athletic wagon engineering trick, it is difficult to think about which it becomes more and more difficult, because it seems, all possible grams have long been reset. To the mass, as well as the number of movable parts, it was less refused to use the twelve-cylinder engine. Even among the main advantages of serial for RS6 sports six-speed Tiptronic gearbox is called its compactness and low weight.
But no matter how much the power unit facilitates, the buyer will still not be able to resist not to add RS6 a few unnecessary grams on the suede, which will be allowed to cover the steering wheel, the rim of which is at the bottom of the sports flat. Or on aluminum, from which such beautiful lining with the RS6 logo on the door thresholds will be released. How to stay from the proposed: carbon for decorative inserts, a piano lacquer for cladding the central tunnel and even more so innovative fiber material High-Tech Nardia, which can be rolling the ceiling and the inner side of the racks. And therefore, all these calculations are that every horsepower accounts for 2.5 kg of vehicle mass, with each check mark in the order blank, farther from the truth.
Therefore, on a racing track, this car is not in itself. He lacks disco, which would have fun with all thirteen columns Bose, children's whims in the back seat and regular calls to the mobile, which are starting to wind nerves already without fifteen nine. He lacks the pits on the road so surely you can go around, traffic lights, on which you can pretend to have been lazy, and then only they have seen you, more precisely, only new lanterns of the new RS6 Avant.
Here we stumble about this very avant. They say, we do not need your excesses, your 565 liters of the luggage compartment and even more than 1660 with folded backs. The more powerful the motor, the more compact to it should be offered the body. Otherwise, all the pleasure of the universal under the tail. The car, according to Russian standards, must shine. And this glitter cannot have any practical significance.
But the Audi RS6 was invented for a person who could not prove anything to anyone. He does not need the legy sounds of the exhaust and the sense of asphalt under the fifth point at speed for two hundred. After all, pleasure is not always to come first, and sometimes in to come on time. And come not alone, but with family or friends, and bring with you everything you need, for example, for a picnic. What are we in the list? Four food bags, six beer packs plus juices and water, coal packs, balls, balls, rackets, blankets, towels. Oh, yes, and our new brazing bracket.

The first model of the RS series in Ingolstadt was made in 1994. RS2 was released only in the body wagon. I replaced his RS4 was as adamant, and only after the update in 2005 he became accessible as a convertible. In 2002, RS6 debuted at the beginning as a wagon, then a sedan was added. The new RS6 sample of this year is offered so far only in the body wagon. This means that someday, of course, the sedan will appear too. But when it is not very important, because fashion it is for sports universals of premium class in Germany for a couple of decades. And each brand considers his duty to make them more powerful and more good. RS6 at the random of horsepower shot from Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to 66 hp, and from BMW M5 Touring on 73 hp With the mind and you can not say. Yes, it is not necessary. All idle yawats diverged, you can start the engine and calmly go on business. It is a pity only, we can not use the autobahn for these purposes, because of its absence. For RS6, this is the best test track, even in a sports helmet on the head, at least with a barbecue in the trunk.
