Remember how the original Audi TT caused a huge and understandable interest among drivers, amazed in the way, and ready to pay for such a stylish packaging. Eh, if she rode as well as she looked… The second generation TT Audi made it not so charming outwardly, thereby shaking the hope of the excellent reincarnation of a well -looking machine into a well -controlled manner. Here are the bores! And let the second generation of the “Automobile Pistol” is controlled much better than the predecessor, the trip takes place in the same boring atmosphere in which there is no place for excitement. From this situation, Audi had only one way out — to create a car that goes better than it looks. Theoretically, TTS is the same car. In the lineup, it is represented as the fastest, the most sports and the most expensive TT today. Its power overshadows 250 liters. With. 3. 2-liter V6, and this is a slaughter weapon-a four-cylinder two-liter engine with a turbine that holds 270 wayward mares in the grip. Twisting is 350 nm, which is achieved in the range from 2500 to 5000 rpm.
In standard configuration, TTS is supplied with six-speed mechanics, but we, with a cool rainy Munich day, got a car with an option transmission with two C-Tronic clutch, which reduces the overclocking time to hundreds by 0. 2 seconds, and your wallet makes it easier for £ 1400. Switch S-Tronic transfers, you can use petals on a beautiful steering wheel with a flat base in the area of six hours. The characteristics of the novelty are impressive. A new, increased supercharger with an intermediate cooler, a exhaust system with a liquid cleaning system and a bunch of other bells and whistles made acceleration to a hundred very fast — 5. 2 seconds with S-Tronic and 5. 4 with a traditional manual box. But both transmissions with the same ease will disperse the car to unchanged 250 km/h. But another constant issue of the same takihavtogoli — price. At £ 33. 390, TTS with a mechanical box costs only £ 2800 cheaper than 2. 7-liter Porsche Cayman. Of course, Porsche cannot fully meet the level of Audi characteristics, but this has never been a subject of disputes and discussions. And if you recall how Cayman obeys the helm, passes and slows down, then TT remained nervously smoke on the sidelines … And it was here that the debutant from Audi tried to conquer expensive points in the confrontation of the compartment class. As always, the use of a QUATTRO all -wheel drive system, which can transfer all 100% torque to the front or rear axle, depending on the situation, is very useful and correctly and correctly. But all -wheel drive has its own “but” — because of it, the front front of the car is somewhat heavier than the back (58: 42). And this circumstance inevitably entails the appearance of insufficient rotation. In theory, the two -stage ESP should cool the fervor of the front. But for sure, magnetoindsis shock absorbers Delphi were added to his aid in TTS. As has already been noted, the engine duet, and TTS S-Tronic transmission is an excellent example of consistency and amazing efficiency. This couple at the exit from the turn-a continuous stream produces about such smoothness, a wave of Cayman’s wave can only dream of blood, acceleration and does it calmly carefully passing the next turn. And for sure. Few rivals can do-the wet highway, TTS is not kept to keep serious speeds just as smoothly. Renno. At high speed, he is still TTS engine is soft and smoothly copes with the road well, but at the limit of work, which you rarely meet the units with the car is felt somewhat different.
four cylinders. Although he gains momentum quite energetically, the whole process of acceleration occurs on one note. And the skillfully tuned «semiautomatic» makes switching almost invisible. For those who are worried about their blood pressure, trying to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible, this machine will be an ideal solution, but the one who loves the feeling of adrenaline boiling in the veins will not be able to experience true pleasure from acquaintance with the car. The chassis is trying to follow the same straightforward manner and, in most cases, he succeeds. On a dry road, the clutch with the road never disappears — bulldog grip! Like power steering. The steering wheel is somewhat lightweight and it does not have enough feedback, but the car restlessly and dynamically reacts, smoothly accelerates due to an increase in the torque of the Haldex coupling and insufficient rotation, which ESP cannot cope, TTS loses balance and balance. The ESP shutdown helps to restore some confidence in the movement of the machine, but causes inadequate steering reactions. This is the best TT of ever created, but with R8 they are not «blood brothers». And sorry! So Cayman has no reasons for concern.
