Perhaps, it is the remarkable car. One of the few, capable to give rush from driving, “closing eyes” to our driver’s skills. And even if it would dress” in the Chinese suit, the automobile world would accept it on hurrah. But look, as its figure is faultlessly drawn. It is that case when for photographing fish spine beads on wheel disks turn exactly. Otherwise? Otherwise we risk to break harmony of forms of external surfaces. In front a firm lattice of radiator Single Frame which we see on all new models Audi. And here dimensional fires on light-emitting diodes while have been noticed only at R8. Now even in the most dark night, a fog, a rain, a snow associates will know, that comes nearer A5/S5. The back optics, however, as well as a lobby, does not differ originality of the form, but this severity and is bright distinctive feature A5/S5. First even it seems, that to shape of it the compartment yes Silva has no attitude but if you look on S5 in a structure will see influence of southern temperament. A lateral line it is womanly it was bent, and in the field of thresholds rough man’s force, on the contrary, is visible. At the same time proportions S5 reminds a compartment of classical configuration: short forward overhang, a long cowl, the interior displaced to a back axis … Such Audi to me after a shower.
And certainly, Audi again has shown the talent in the field of creation of exemplary interiors. Acquaintance begins with an anticipation when you recollect other models of mark and expect, that behind a weighty door with low glass there will be something especial. Dear aroma of a dense leather, gentle plastic, natural materials of furnish … the Original premium-class in the best display. It is possible to not go anywhere, and simply to examine and feel this interior. But it is better to sweep nevertheless. Then there will be an opportunity to estimate excellent ergonomics and advantages MMI above alternative multimedia complexes. The system is adjusted extremely logically, therefore it is possible to concentrate on road better.
Now I can admit the main thing: Audi S5 it is devilishly fast, and consequently I have arrived for a supper for 45 minutes earlier. But aperitif all the same has passed, because S5 is pleasant and in all rest, and not just in sports maneuvering. And while all ate greedily, I enjoyed the Italian beauty at the wheel German perfection.

What dynamics? If I was so purposeful in a life, as S5 at dispersal already sat in an armchair of chairman of any corporation. Just there, where future owner S5 works. In fact, to seize the superiority on road, it is necessary to renumerate generously diligence Audi, and I know not so many examples when convincing dynamics cost cheaply. Start about 1000 rev/min and be switched to 3000 rev/min to take pleasure in elastic draft of the motor and sated sounding Bang and Olufsen, or start about 4000 rev/min and be switched to 6500 rev/min to spoil mood to owner Porsche. The engine almost the same which has made RS4 one of the best supersedans. It hardly deforced, but too is allocated by system of direct injection of fuel FSI and dry crank case. Drafts suffice always and on any transfer and if you are bought on its easy, “torsional” character the sound and acceleration will for ever be printed in memory. To be dispersed from a place up to 200 km/h, S5 it is required only 19,1 with and that at gapers mouthes have opened, it is enough to urge on turns, costing on a place. The body is shaken together with pressing of a pedal of “gas”, and here already you and associates are convinced, that the sports car should sound only so: powerfully, energetically, threateningly. So, as if Harley-Davidson have added metal in a voice. But “Harley” is not able to switch transfer so precisely and smoothly. Selector MKP moves without special efforts, and it seems, that under a leather cover the gnome who directs the lever in necessary slot sits. Even the drive of coupling, always long-stroke in other models Audi, here is executed almost faultlessly.

If who does not know, it is motto Audi, and this time the union of human reason and an artificial intellect the car which moves has made is exemplary. You does not shake and does not rock to sleep. The suspension bracket works silently, and at times it seems, that road too equal for provincial Italy.
The chassis surpasses expectations even in a view of successful TT and Audis4. Perhaps, this praise deserving only S5, at which other shock-absorbers, springs and sailent-blocks in joints of elements of a suspension bracket because from colleagues I heard complaints to excessive rigidity A5. But for a magnificent combination of comfort, stability and enthusiasm I am ready to forgive some rigidity. In turns, on a straight line, anywhere at you the universal control over the car, and even on limit S5 does not aspire “ to throw out you from a saddle ”. Certainly, in it a considerable merit of electronics and … asymmetrical distribution of draft. You have got used, what quattro is 50/50 between a forward and back axis? Forget. Insufficient rotation in the past. Now 60 % of capacity are transferred to a back axis, therefore the car “to fill” in turns easier. And still something of what we always dreamed, - powerful and effective brakes. I went “ on all of money ” downwards on mountain road and if not brakes Audi, this clause somebody would write another. Credo of new brake mechanisms: always and in any situation. Can not trust, but never-ending turns and 354 h.p. could not compel to surrender brakes.

Audi has declared serious characteristics for this car: V8, 354 h.p. and 440 Nanometers. As well as it is necessary to the car with a letter “S”, capacity is distributed between four wheels through a mechanical 6-step box of transfers that allows to go quickly and stably. The tempting cocktail promises unique drive: “ maximum velocity ” it is limited 250 km/h and to type “hundred”, it is required only 5,1 with. It seems, matchless “three” BMW with new engine R6 Bi-turbo this time remains behind. However, we shall find out an alignment of forces hardly later for now we shall look, that engineers Audi for deduction of this power on road have made.
The main revelation of new compartment Audi - the chassis. Walter yes Silva, chief-designer Audi, spoke something about design, but me rideable talents of this car most of all interest. And so, compartment A5/S5 announces opportunities of following generation Audi A4 which just about will get into dispute for leadership with a new C-class and any more absolutely new “three” BMW. Forward and back multilever suspension brackets are developed from a pure leaf and almost are completely made of aluminium. For improvement of characteristics of controllability the steering mechanism is located near to a line connecting the geometrical centers of wheels, and the differential is before coupling. Thus, the engine managed to be displaced more deeply in base that has allowed to achieve almost ideal distribution of loading on axes. All these innovations and diligence of designers are directed on one - achievement of the greatest possible comfort of driving.
Think, the sports car cannot be comfortable? Certainly, it not Cadillac Eldorado Brougham 1975, but Audi S5 has appeared one of few compartments in whom shakes carefully. If to abstract from luxury of interior and raging energy of the engine, having concentrated on the chassis you start to clink approvingly language and to shake a head in reply to the performance arranged by ” the Superiority of high technologies ”.

We waited for it twelve years to fall in love in a flash. Now we should make a deep exhalation and soberly to estimate chances Audi A5 of success.
Collaborator Audi has politely warned me: “ Here to you keys from Audi A5 3.2 Multitronic, and, please, try to return by a supper ”. By a supper? It turns out, at my order only 4 hours of 18 minutes, and ahead of 200 km of artful streamers and prompt straight lines? Well, in that case the full drive, “mechanic” and the sea of capacity is necessary to me. Unfortunately, the given car answers only to the third item from this list, and that with some clauses: 265 h.p. on 1,5 т - not too it is a lot of, and to armchairs more expressive lateral support would not prevent. Means, I shall be late for a supper? Well is not present! In Italy magnificent kitchen, and for us have for certain prepared for something especial. But stop , there, behind harmonous numbers grey and black A5, the bright red compartment has hidden. I see the “eighteenth” wheels, exaggerate arches, nameplate “V8” on a forward wing, a lattice of a radiator of platinum -grey color - apparently, this flagman compartment S5, and, apparently, at me is chance to not be late by a supper.
The red car had really appeared S5. Probably, the editor-in-chief will arrange to me scolding, in fact from Verona waited for messages about new A5, but the desire to take pleasure in firm Italian kitchen has compelled me to sit down for a rudder “S”. At least, it is the official version of my offence, but to you I shall open a secret. Ideas on the S-version excited my imagination in Moscow.

The disconnected terminator of speed has allowed to judge the real opportunities of the car expressed henceforth in figure 300 of km/h objectively. Factory shock-absorbers have functioned, but now they work on pair with springs H&R, reduced a range of vertical movings of a heavy body. Rather soft trunks Michelin PilotSport PS2 295/35 ZR21 guarantee death grip for road, not tiring superfluous jolting. The rudder became heavier, however speed and accuracy of reactions can serve as a subject of envy for any Audi with a prefix “quattro”. Not in the last instance this effect became consequence of expansion of a track as a result of increase in a start of the wheel disks fixed through the prorates. Back brakes with the one-piston supports floating crampons and 330-millimetric disks it has been decided to not touch. But there were 8-piston aluminium mechanisms of manufacture Brembo and 380-millimetric ceramic-metal disks of American firm Performance Friction with unique two-componental structure and radially-axial ventilation. Perhaps, unique feature in habits of the car, caused in us questions, - the “nervous” pedal of an accelerator regarding any attempt to be accelerated as start Formula-1. Roland Mayer has assigned the responsibility to a factory-manufacturer, having noticed, that the primary adjustments of an electronic drive registered by programmers Audi are those. At the same time it has assured, that MTM now conjures with “software” to smooth responses of the engine to “gas”, having given to them more progressive characteristic. As to an interior, Mayer has hinted, that more aggressive thinks about not which “ to the program 2 ”, providing styling - both external, and internal. But its nail should become the 600-strong engine - quite possibly, 12-cylinder. On this motor all efforts MTM today are concentrated. In our opinion, at present GT S5 Super-charged - best of representatives of extensive family Audi A4 of generation B8. The more pleasantly, that right now it can be ordered in authorized partners MTM in the different countries - from Canada up to Thailand. Pleases Rolanda Mayer’s sober sight at things: Considering, that on our planet not too is a lot of the roads, capable to compete with German autobahn, it offers clients hardly corrected version GT S5 Supercharged on 19-inch wheels. However, the price from it does not become more liberally. Well, we thirsted emotions, and any reasonable person will not measure the present feelings money.

But here we condemn the scornful attitude to an interior. To leave depressive techno futurism in an integrity and safety - not the best decision. It is time to Rolandu Mayer to become thoughtfull about establishment of a department inside works as without the contribution from this the product looks not finished. Besides it is the missed profit: the clients interested in exclusive registration of interior, are compelled to address to direct competitors. Children from МТМ are perfectly informed on all nuances connected with cars Audi. For example, that all all-wheel drive  machines are unduly heavy and for improvement of their dynamic qualities it is necessary or to cut down considerably weight, or sharply to increase capacity, and to go two ways at once is even better. They know, that the base adjustments incorporated in the chassis are exclusively good: they not only provide an outstanding stability of the machine on an input in turn and an output from it, but also perfectly give in to thin adjustments. These factors, as a matter of fact, also have predetermined the scheme of works. A predominating place under a cowl the mechanical supercharger of the Swedish mark Opcon with the maximal pressure of pressurization has borrowed 0,6 bars which MTM used earlier on model RS4 Clubsport. Correctly to establish a supercharger in a motor compartment it was possible not at once, and only after modernization: With a view of reduction of its dimensional height engineers had to drill an aperture for a fence of air sideways instead of former, settled down from above. Under a dope V-shaped “eight” in working volume 4163 cube. Sm, which degree of compression has fallen with 11.0:1 up to 9.0:1, has reached capacity 500 h.p. at 6800 rev/min and drafts of 520 Nanometers at 3800 rev/min. Standard Audi S5 quattro, I shall remind, develops 354 h.p. and 440 Nanometers. The weight of the machine managed to be kept in area of “serial” 1765 kg, that as a result has turned back reduction of time of dispersal up to “hundred” with 5,1 up to 4,6 with with 6-step manual gearbox.

The newest Audi S5 has turned out flagrant ideal, it is the fact. It is surprising, as Germans manage to do the super-power and superfast machines so haughty, so insensible! To result S5 in becoming a kind, the decent doze of tuning is required
We have got used to consider, that tuning - a question of personification of image. The pier, idea to construct the machine under itself justifies any victims. But it only one party of a medal - with another is found out continuous advantage and any victims. It appears, tuning can be rational and even advantageous. Competently having approached to a choice of the car, you have an opportunity to approach on characteristics one of intermediate updatings to expensive top to versions, moreover and with benefit. To save will leave and by the machine, and on the insurance with taxes. And is not present the slightest hint on problems with the law: all details and units have corresponding certificates TUV and DEKRA. And how to be with mentioned top versions? With them not all so is smooth: there is no place to move upward, for perfection manufacturers practically do not leave space. As a rule, these machines are rigidly grouped, and intervention in their refined design threatens with complications. Here professionals of the maximum category are required. Desperate enough to thrust in luggage carrier Audi TT the second motor in pair with the second box of transfers, and grounded enough that by means of this facilities to overtake Pagani Zonda. You have truly interpreted our hint: we speak about Bavarian firm MTM and its sensational project Bimoto 2001 of This 840-strong monster and today it is possible to see on various actions where it directs to rustle by demonstration performances. From a place up to 100 km/h for 3,1 with and maximum speed 391 km/h will inspire dispersal everybody! Contrary to initial intentions МТМ everyone will construct a commodity party of ten such machines at the price of 600 thousand euro. From Rolanda Mayer’s last achievements and its command it is necessary to mention development and manufacture of the power unit for new German superpenalty Artega GT.
