Performance Of Absurd

Reasonable greed — a perfectly natural human characteristic. Most of its natural manifestation — not to overpay, throwing money down the drain.
But sometimes you meet in your life such a thing, the price of which does not depend on the boundaries of logic or reason. For the thing itself does not recognize the border.
I went to a completely different car in his life — from simple sport to racing. In principle, the majority can clearly describe their tasks and functional. This can be practicality, roominess, efficiency, speed, manageability, image, beauty, rarity — yes anything, even sincerity.
The car often buy from the brand loyalty in general, or to make the first move in a certain community. But here!..

For the first time in my life I was faced with the fact that I can not explain my attachment to the vehicle accessible concepts. There are other brands and models, each of which exceeds the size, on controllability, speed, in coolness, in terms of efficiency and, of course, beauty.
But this huge and crazy fast car red color was so absurd on a combination of their qualities, that is impossible to resist against it! The first time you press the pedal and turning the steering wheel so you get an injection of incredible freedom, which — oh gods! — Happiness you just want to scream loudly.

The most reasonable application that I could find for the Audi RS6 — is any rescue service created to help people in emergency situations. Fire, Ambulance, Emergency Situations Ministry — this machine is capable of everything and even more.

The huge trunk has to ensure that the transport equipment, and the speed and agility — to keep pace with time to the right place, a fairly high ground clearance — to pass tough road. But the price and gas mileage... Yes, it will, of course, a serious problem.

I hope you understand that about the fire, and so forth. I'm not talking seriously. It's just those services that are the prerogative of traffic violations in extreme situations, and we, as law-abiding citizens, rules of the road do not break! Even the 130 km / h, which are allowed on the short stretch of the M4 highway, this car absolutely insufficient. It is necessary to go on German autobahns, which is still no speed limit, and there to break away from the soul at speeds of 200. Perhaps he had built for them because other applications within the framework of legality, I find it just can not.

At the circuit this car also has nothing to do: too much (nearly 5 meters), too heavy (almost two tons of weight), too high center of gravity. For the city, it is too gluttonous (in my version rate ranged driving within 20–22 liters on average) and too long for scarce city parking. But it is so beautiful in general, what you are willing to pay just for its potential, and even almost 7 million of its value, for which you can buy yourself a present the Porsche, go at once to the scene after you get a full opportunity to ride his wheel — at least in the normal mode Drive. Because if you do not have these poor 7 million rubles in the S gearshift selector is better not even to transfer mode...

My God, what with the sound of it shoots with decreasing transmission! In a sudden stop — it is a series of two or three single shots husky deep voice. Here, in contrast to some other cars did not need additional restranslyator the salon. And it's not a bad sound insulation — it is in sound quality. Even just for the sake of the sound, you sneaks up innards, you can go and not thinking to sell a kidney.
Only here's the problem that the cost of a kidney will be enough.

That is why, with all due respect to the Tesla technology and ecology for me — literally «empty sound» every time I think I'm deaf. In addition, ordering Audi RS6, you can save on great speaker Bang & Olufsen: sitting in the car listening to the music you are still not going to. The problem, of course, that the cost of media already included in the database.

In addition to the sound and speed of this car hits two more features: incredibly tenacious perfectly tuned suspension and gearbox with instant reaction. Eight stages and rather short transmission in low gear — the most it for quick acceleration and very smooth. There is nothing new — just recalibrated the standard 8-speed tiptronic.

As for the suspension, then go into the technical details, I will not, they can easily be found on the official Audi site. I can only say that, even in automatic mode (and the chassis can be adjusted separately to your taste), special steel springs and adjustable shock absorbers and torque distribution system create a sense of a Stealth, able to instantly change direction and restructure perpendicular or at any angle. Well, with the help of Drive Select can implement any one of the available style settings, or build your own as in the constructor. This is for very picky.

RS6 Avant is gorgeous. On the quality of interior finishes and can not even say the Germans recent work wonders. Despite my penchant for pretty graceful RS7, about which I wrote six months ago, this is the Audi enrolled me in the ranks of fans of the brand. That is because most, a little rough and incredibly dynamic. And absolutely meaningless in terms of utility. But it is these things and we are missing in our too orderly and practical life.
