Audi TTS COUPE. Part 4

31st Октябрь 2009

However, to name Audi TTS the car on every day - means to give out desirable for valid. Mediocre visibility from a driver’s place, uneasy procedure of an input and an output, actual absence of a place for back passengers of a compartment (the roadster in general is calculated on two person), do not allow to name a small luggage carrier this car suitable means of comfortable moving in space. No, Audi TTS is not the machine on every day, it is an attraction of unprecedented generosity on delivery of positive emotions in days off and free from road a proside time. The sensation of a holiday is supported with reference design of an interior, the highest degree of quality of assembly and materials, and also dynamical shape of the car.
From usual Audi TT extreme version TTS differs greater radiator a lattice, the changed forward spoiler, design of head headlights with a strip of light-emitting diodes in the bottom part (they burn and in the afternoon), 18-inch wheel disks.
On a background of unprecedented growth of the Russian automobile market only in a segment of sports roadsters and the compartment is observed relative calm. Even those clients for whom the question of the price of the car costs on the second plan, are not ready to lay out the impressive sum for “ the machine of the day off ”. But constant dropping wears away the stone. Probably, occurrence extreme Audi TTS in interiors of the Russian dealers will force potential buyers to pay attention to this unique segment of cars - of generators of positive emotions.

The generator of emotions
Bewitches with what confidence this compact car holds road, is reconstructed on high speeds, slowed down at sharp braking and, perhaps, the most important, passes turns. Audi TTS filigree precisely maintains a trajectory. I have not noticed in the car propensity to сносу a forward axis (that, basically, it is characteristic for many models Audi), drift back. Thus the full drive quattro allows to pass turns in effective lateral slidings (naturally, with the disconnected system of maintenance of course stability).
To our crew has carried: having deviated a line, we have casually come across on gravel pit . On rather equal platform it was possible to feel to the full pleasure from dialogue with quattro. On gravel  to a crumb the easy machine was broken in drift by hardly appreciable pressing of a pedal of “gas” - after all under a cowl of 272 “horses”. “To catch” drift it is possible even for the driver with initial skills of extreme driving: dump of “gas”, fast correcting movement by a rudder aside drift (the main thing - to play on an advancing) and again smooth opening throttle damper. Further the car starts you to obey. Confidently to pass turns in sliding well adjusted electromechanical system of steering management helps. It provides optimum feeling of a rudder, and besides roughnesses of road practically are not transferred to “steering wheel”.
By the way, despite of the sports essence, Audi TTS has seemed to me by machine, quite suitable for the Russian roads. Both the compartment, and a roadster overcome fine and large roughnesses, not shaking out a soul from the driver and the passenger. Buyers of this car should not choose routes of a detour of tram ways and “ lying policemen ” - the uneasy balance between comfort and dynamics is found due to application of electronic system of regulation of a degree of rigidity of shock-absorbers. The given system the principle of its work is described in incut) established on Audi TTS in a standard complete set.

The engine of progress
Whether there is a bottom at the sea of positive emotions?
New Audi TTS - ideal “scientific-research” the device for  The answer to this question/
Roads around of the airport of Munich are travelled all over by automobile journalists up to “callouses” on trunks. There’s nothing to be done, nearby to capital of Bavaria the basic manufactures at once three German premium-brands are located. The similar ordinary, certainly, does not add paints in process of acquaintance to the car, especially if it is updating of already known model.
Again Munich, again “ variations on a theme ” … Approximately with such decadent mood I flied on presentation of new model in family Audi TT - a compartment and roadster TTS with 2-liter turbo the engine capacity 272 h.p. However it was necessary to appear at the wheel the car, all my scepticism and discontent have in a moment evaporated. Dispersal up to 100 km/h for 5,2 with. The maximal speed of 250 km/h. A full drive. High-speed “automatic device”. Ease and a maneuverability. At Audi TTS there is a full set of the qualities, allowing to take pleasure in management of the car. And that the line is worn out so it even is good. Turns are familiar, it is possible and “ to fire ”!
Until recently the top of modelling ruler Audi TT was borrowed with model with the atmospheric 3,2-liter engine which is given out “to the surface” 250 h.p. Now rank of the top-version belongs to updating TTS. On this car is established 2-liter engine TFSI. The abbreviation “FSI” means direct injection of gasoline in the chamber of combustion, and the letter “Т” - a turbo-supercharging.

Audi TTS COUPE. Part 2

30th Октябрь 2009

The successful combination of direct injection and turbo-supercharging has been successfully approved in “fighting” conditions of sports competitions. The racing prototype Audi R8 equipped by motor TFSI during with 2001 on 2005 five times won 24-hour races in Le Mans. The serial sample of the 2-liter power unit with technology TFSI also has had time to be recognized experts: with 2005 it three times won a honourable trophy “ Engine of the Year ” (“ the Engine of year ”) successively.
The lawful 250 km/h all-wheel drive Audi TTS types with inexpressible ease. Wheels for a second are not broken in proslipping. Automatic box S-Tronic “tucks in” transfers with such speed that seems as if the car is equipped by a variator: as you listen to the sensations, it is not felt at all the moment of switching of transfers, only the arrow of a tachometer during this instant slightly deviates to the left (the principle of work of box S-Tronic is described in incut). At intensive braking the box actively helps the driver to reduce a brake way. With improbable speed of which everyone is capable not professional rallier, it touches transfers “downwards”.
However, high maximal speed not the main thing that surprises in Audi TTS. Power suffices and in motors of many other things of cars. Amazes its elasticity and with what hunting the engine gives out an additional portion of acceleration. Owing to a combination of technologies of direct injection and a turbo-supercharging the twisting moment of 350 Nanometers is accessible in a range from 2500 up to 5000 rev/min. Surplus of the twisting moment allows to be dispersed with 80 up to 120 km/h on IV transfer of all for 4,4 with, that does overtakings easy and safe.
One more advantage of the given motor - ease. The weight of the engine 2.0 TFSI only 153 kg as founders of the car assure, any of comparable engines of competitors cannot brag of such parameter. Ease and compactness of the motor in the best image influence on loading on axes and, hence, controllability of the car.
