Audi RS6 test drive: White noise

The engine gives out 580 hp. at 6250 rpm, and the peak torque is capable of 650 Nm in a wide range of revolutions: from 1,500 to 6250 rpm.
White noise in scientific definitions is nothing more than the most powerful and ruthless sound signal in the entire range of existing frequencies. This signal has endless power. Like the latest development from Ingolstadt Audi RS6. This car is everywhere! He treacherously suppresses the reality surrounding him, turning everything that had hitherto had been dynamic into static boring obstacles.
The second definition of the term white noise is a metaphysical phenomenon associated with communication on radio frequencies of lost souls, stuck between the world of living and the dead. And this interpretation also fits perfectly into the Audi RS6 concept, which was tightly reconstructed between two dimensions of civilian cars and super sportsmen. Is there a car that is just as very similar to their civilian version? I find it difficult to answer this question.
Personally, I think this is great. Audi RS6 for the layman is an ordinary six, successfully packed in a S-line body kit, giant wheeled wheels, decorated with rear diffuser and two exhaust pipes. And of course, the RS6 nameplate, fixed on the rear of the car and a modified radiator grille in the form of small cells painted with black varnish. Partically expanded wheel arches are successfully smoothed out by almost any color of the car, whether black or red.
That's all, the list of visual differences is finished. The honor and praise of the Audi design-bureau, which has not rolled up to cheap show-offs, giant spoilers and other superport attributes. So easily and naturally, unnoticed by uninterrupted eyes and not burdened with excessive attention, imposingly rolled out at idle revolutions on asphalt. Slowly, preparing the road surface for subsequent madness.
While warming up, checking systems and the emotional mood of the pilot, I will quickly tell you about the technical characteristics of the monster.
The driving force of the chariot of the Angels of the Apocalypse is a 5.0-liter V10 with a direct fuel injection system that migrated here from the Audi S6 and S8, but with a huge number of improved elements. This is the splendor of engineering, equipped with two giant turbochargers, made of aluminum alloy and, as a result, has very modest weight indicators of 278 kg.
The engine gives out 580 hp. at 6250 rpm, and the peak torque is capable of 650 Nm in a wide range of revolutions: from 1,500 to 6250 rpm.
A aggregate RS6 with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Of course, it is possible to switch manually by means of a gearbox lever or steering wheel petals.
The entire power avalanche converged from the impregnable V10 vertex is redistributed to wheels according to the principle of 60% to the rear and 40% to the front ones. If necessary, electronics using the Torsen differential can spread the power in other proportions, the peak value for the front wheels 65%, for the rear 85%.
All these are very impressive and very important numbers, but no more, dry facts have no chance of survival in fact that other convincing starts, braking and maneuvers for which this car is born. Feeling a breathtaking acceleration from a place to the first hundred in 4.5 seconds, you manage to recall the most significant events of your life. The speed is far beyond a hundred, rather, closer to two. The landscape in the side glasses is no longer so clear, and the space surrounding you froze even more so, distorting its outlines in the hot air. The unconscious silence, stretched like a string along the entire trajectory of movement, is torn by a crazy roar of the exhaust system. As a collision with a solid surface after a protracted jump, a meeting occurs with an electronic speed limiter set at 250 km/h. At the request of desperate owners, servicemen can move this threshold 30 km/h forward. But I am poorly believed that a person in a sober mind is ready to experience such speeds.
By besieging the car with very effective brakes with 420 mm disks and 356 mm behind to acceptable speeds, you catch yourself on the fact that the start of movement on the RS6 does not occur with 0 km/h, like all other cars, but more than slower, of course, of course, of course You can go, but I don’t want to.
The RS6 behavior cannot be called ideal in corners, you can not spread about this at all, all big and small turns pass unnoticed, impeccably, without complications and tension. The car clings to the asphalt and holds it until the end of the maneuver, and if the driver decides to adjust the trajectory, then Erask obeys the owner without slipping beyond the established limits.
Dynamic characteristics can frighten any, even the most sophisticated driver. But the inner space of the supervolution does not inspire any fears. Often, meeting a similar machine, you look forward to receiving bruises on the lower back and back from sports buckets completely deprived of minimal comfort. You expect dull communication with an ascetic salon. Tired of crazy annealing, you curse the lack of a climatic system and other benefits of mankind. Not in this case. If you want to go comfortably and enjoy a long road, get it, you will have the whole filling of the business sedan of the highest category at your disposal: DVD, navigation, excellent musical system, heating, ventilation and so on and so on.
The cost of the car we tested, including various additional ones, is 4,950,000 rubles, the richest basic equipment of the sedan will cost a little cheaper - 4,673,000 rubles. Is it a lot or not enough? As we know, such cars are not bought for the last money, and therefore I will say so, this machine emotionally gives much more than you gave to the box office.
It is thanks to everything that the Audi engineers managed to combine that this car for the eternal eyelids will freeze between dimensions. And it will remain an ideal among supercars for everyday use.
