Audi RS6 R MTM. Part 4

4th Ноябрь 2009

On idea, heavy V10 should pull down front a part of the machine outside of a trajectory, however tuning the car behaves more balanced, rather than standard. Brakes release RS6 R it is quick up to faintness, that no wonder with its mechanisms in size with a greater pizza (405 mm in front, 356 mm behind). The brake way since speed of 200 km/h makes 149 m, and it on 6 m is shorter, than at serial Audi RS6. On damp asphalt - a covering which the wood road to day of our test had, - aggressive driving continually turned around playful wagging “stern”. Adjustments of a full drive quattro present generation are those, at distribution of the twisting moment giving insignificant preference to back wheels. But extremely stable behaviour of a forward axis allows to feel absolutely confidently even during those moments when ESP has not time yet to start to extinguish the next drift.
Having a parity the weight/capacity almost as at racing 2-double Lotus 2-Eleven and four driving wheels, super avant from MTM does not know to itself equal. The passionless statistics completely confirms our sensations: the kilometer from place RS6 R overcomes on 0,4 with faster, than Corvette Z06, showing on an output speed of 254 km/h. Other parameter is remarkable also: for a set of 100 km/h the boost strip in length only 55 m is required to this car! And miracles on it do not come to an end. In other road discipline - acceleration with 100 up to 140 km/h RS6 R has flashed result 2,7 with, that on 0,6 with better in comparison with Mercedes avant C 63 AMG. Dispersal up to 200 km/h from a place borrows 12,7 with, and the kilometer this “truck” flies by for 21,7 with, being dispersed in the end up to 254 km!
To what this heap of figures? In them the true beauty of this car also consists. Mathematics - a great thing. It knew still Arhimed, the first thought up a catapult.

We have tried to pull out from Mayer any information on its further plans, and here that we managed to learn from it. “Reincarnations” Clubsport will not be, instead of it to spring MTM will capitally shake up engine RS6, closely having borrowed in power supply systems and coolings in intention to finish its feedback up to 800 “horses”, and even it is more. Today Motoren Technik Mayer carries out functions, as a matter of fact, the affiliated division Audi AG specializing on extreme tuning, which manufacturer from Ingolstadt to afford not in a condition because of features of the German legislation. Attitudes between partners rather close, an evident illustration to that is that fact, that MTM with might and main tests the machines in wind tunnel Audi.
Contrary to our fears ultra-low profile tires and the truncated springs do not transform the trunk RS6 R into similarity of the rural cart which have rolled out on a cobblestone road. The road relief, certainly, has an effect, but in sparing enough mode. Anyway, epileptic seizures with machine did not occur even on bumpy provincial roads. Practising a quiet manner of driving, you can and not learn about the monstrous force dozing in bowels of this car. The soundtrack is sated by low-frequency overtones, but their presence does not become revelation for the owner standard RS6. Owing to the changed adjustments of operating electronics the box of transfers is switched more softly and more quickly, and on submission of “gas” the machine responds with the underlined delicacy.
It is that case, when still waters run deep. The slightest hint on fieriness in circulation with a pedal of an accelerator turns around space overloads. And character of increase of acceleration is difficult for naming sharp, notwithstanding circumstance, that after achievement 2800 rev/min both turbines start “to blow” strongest then Colorado tornado, forcing an arrow of a tachometer in a panic toss on a dial. Of 100 km/h the car in weight of 2113 kg overcomes a boundary later 4,1 with after start, continuing to speed up with fantastic ease. So occurs before turn, which each time for some reason arises in sight quite unexpectedly.

In last dates of July, 2008 of the rate have been raised once again - MTM has declared the beginning of manufacture of 702-strong model RS6 R. Apparently from a designation of the car, here again as a basis has served passenger-and-freight “RS” which again has transferred to a turn of transformations. However, at first sight RS6 R hardly we shall distinguish from a source code, being allocated unless huge 21-inch wheels through which brake disks of not less frightening diameter are visible. More detailed analysis reveals presence of a back spoiler and carboxylic run-out which, however, on a background of a dark body practically are not visible. And with the dual exhaust pipes presently in general you will surprise nobody.
Under a cowl of any changes it is not observed basically, that causes a natural question on the spent money. Though nameplate with an inscription “MTM” testify that the certain intervention took place. As it is found out, at the car electronic modules of management are replaced by the engine - in firm catalogue MTM the given operation passes under a code designation “m1rs6580702qx” and there are 3990 euros. Cost of all car under the price-list makes 132 684 euros. For the sake of justice it is necessary to tell, that modernization has mentioned also mechanical components: as motor Audi RS6 is known for intensity of a temperature mode, before intercooler systems of pressurization have appeared auxiliary fans. For the sake of increase of speed of responses of an accelerator it was necessary to change an inlet collector and all final system that has brought a pleasant bonus in the form of several additional horsepowers. After improvements V-shaped “ten” with ease has given out 1000 Nanometers, than has nonplused engineers - such twisting moment could ruin automatic transmission in a flash. As a result it was necessary to limit a maximum of draft in figure ” 785 “. But all this were florets in comparison with a new problem. Having received on the machine the certificate of conformity TUV, Mayer has unexpectedly collided with threats of the insurance companies to cancel policies on those Audi RS6 which have passed a complex of completions in MTM. To achieve loyalty of several large insurers, intensive negotiations were required. Fortunately, fruitful.

Catapult
History Audi RS6, prepared studio MTM, leaves in depth of millenia. All has begun 2250 years ago when Arhimed has invented a catapult…
The chapter of company Motoren Technik Mayer Roland Mayer a personal example shows, however much words ” freedom of creativity ” mean. The cell, let even gold, remains a cell, and neither to a crane, nor a titmouse it will not allow to experience free flight. Here and mister Mayer, having fulfilled is a lot of years in Audi AG where it has had time to become famous for creation inline 5-cylinder turbo engine in volume 2,2 L, has left native penates to try the remarkable forces on a field of tuning. In 2002 its firm showed to the world sensational Bimoto, created by implantation in body Audi TT of two engines capacity 502 h.p. everyone. This devil of bright yellow colour could overtake literally everything, that moves.
If also there is a deity to which all personnel MTM call its female name Dynamics worships. The rest for Mayer deeply again. So it was led since times of model RSR which has been constructed on the basis of sport coupe S2 and there were the first serial Audi, not simply developing 300 km/h, but thus also possessing the official admission to operation on roads of the general using. From fresher examples it is enough to recollect 580-strong avant RS6 Clubsport, in comparison with standard RS6 facilitated on 400 kg that has allowed it to overcome on a racing line reference Porsche 911 GT3. And more recently Mayer has won the tender for delivery of power units for super car Gumpert Apollo.
