Skoda Octavia RS. Тест-драйв 
Вся галерея мероприятия
In our case — Skoda Octavia RS, which I passed through the horror road enthusiasts and badly twisted wheel on the suburban racetrack, but more on that later, but for now tell you «for the exterior.» Вся галерея мероприятияThe appearance of the new model matured, became rapidly from roundness gone toward broken lines and sharp lines. By the way, the engineers heard the pleas of fans and smashed an exhaust on both sides of the bumper system. In previous versions, this was not enough.
The main differences from the «civilian» brother — other bumper and a pair of decorative elements: black radiator grille with black straps on the side mirrors.
The idea is the difference in appearance between the just and the Octavia RS is not noticeable, but in fact, in the stream of the same gray-carts, you always know it: yes, it's Skoda Octavia RS. Here is a simple and effective Czech philosophy: to add a couple of elements that will allocate the car.
We met in a traffic jam. Friday morning on the highway of Enthusiasts. People around the sticks in the phone, and I'll look into the car from the inside. Black interior with plastic inserts under carbon on the doors and center console.
Black roof trim and a black dashboard of soft plastic, black chairs, too, is completely mechanical. Leather — a work of art, easy to use, is chamfered at the bottom, this beauty does not want to let go.
First, turn off the «start-stop» from his obscure algorithm work I have started a nervous tic: the system shuts down the engine when the car still did not stop and runs it on the sandwiched brake pedal. DSG with wet clutch is finally set up, and the car is not in the flow of hysteria, wondering what kind of transmission stick, but noticeable twitch himself: prev RS'ka sissy was not rigid suspension, but the new car just furious. You literally feel every fifth point of the protrusion on the road. At low speed get the necessary and unnecessary information on the state of the roadway.
Finally, there was a button that launches the entire freedom silushku horsepower and adds the male driver. RS Mode button, in addition to the hard modes of the box and the engine, adds acoustic endorphins in the brain, however, synthetic: simpozer produces juicy roar as if the four cylinders have added four more.

How it sounds Octavia RS in sport mode? As a party to the bass guitar, performed on a synthesizer.
Simple driver does not find differences, but avtoaudiofil to experience riding on the V8 this «music» does not appreciate. But still press on the gas, even standing on the spot — kicks. However, outside this cacophony can be heard.
The test car is equipped with nineteen Disk «erasers» rubbers 35 profile... very easily in the conditions of the Moscow winter. Each tank can cause pain in the entire structure and unpleasant sensations in me. I drove to the Moscow Ring Road? No! After another blow wheel and surrendered itself in the truest sense gave up the ghost.
Pulling dokatku again I am surprised the ideal trunk: 568 liters, and folding rear seats get a flat area at 1558 liters! One bedroom apartment on wheels, not the car. Wheel repaired, more food.
Ahead of the long-awaited Ring Road, just there all the engine breathe easy. The RS Mode car provokes a violation of articles of the Administrative Code. Rejoicing synthetic roar did not notice the speed, after four thousand revolutions of the engine goes to the boost of 220 horsepower and savory kick shoot forward, I suck in the stomach — have to catch the car. And God forbid, fall into a rut of her car jumps unpredictably — in any direction.
As a result, scoring on a detection limit of self-preservation, I turned off the infernal button and quietly drove on. On a flat canvas manifested reference ride and stability. In addition, the suspension collects traffic fines, I was used to discomfort and no longer felt at ease with the music, mellifluous ten Canton speakers, and trusted security of the Active Cruise Control. Cool feeling to the touch of a button Octavia RS has turned from an evil couch in a calm, but with sporting habits.
Generally hooligans on public roads is not good because the track is heading in Myachkovo. Why there? Ring in Myachkovo — one of the automobile race tracks, which have adapted to the free races. Track days are there almost every weekend. Another advantage of this track is the location — it's the closest track to Moscow.
Arriving at the track, it became clear that «Skoda» is not at ease: benking, apexes, the entire track is hidden under a layer of snow savory. And they love to do the young guys on the front wheel drive car in the winter? Of course — to pull the handbrake! Well, I will draw a trajectory to the touch, yet front-wheel drive — the same drive. I press the button with the waltzing machine and Traction Control system is derived from the game. Stabilization leave, for breastworks of hard snow.
And you know what? Front-wheel drive in the snow gives pleasure not less than: loading machine literally screwed into the front axle to rotate, and the feeling of a real mechanical samobloka rid impossible. Digital simulation of a limited slip differential XDS excellent «exports» from understeer. But after the turn revealing DSG traditionally long dry gas, and opens it with a savory kick to slip, bringing the car to the outside path. At this point, the stabilization intervenes gently biting each wheel.
In general, the former Octavia RS car was duplicitous. You could take the children to the matinee, could return from the «Auchan», will lay no sausage with the oil on the trunk. He could take the family to the country, for a long time pushing in the plug. And after all these trials leave behind surrounding motorists breaking speed records at videofiksatsii chambers. But the new RS version is clearly divided into a family sports car. And for that, «quite a Tabletka»... that is key.
Incidentally, in the Octavia RS is a modification of the family with a full drive. But it will only vehicles with diesel engine and six-speed DSG. But that's another story...
