Driving fast is effortless, which is the true meaning of Audi RS.

20 10 will really be a performance car era. Car companies are worried about whether they can achieve emissions in this way and whether they will be scolded by environmentalists.

What these people are most worried about is whether this car can blow a hole in the ceiling of the car altar.

In short, do what you can, and do what you can't.

So Audi RS found an A6. If you are a man, you should be an elite gentleman who took off his high-definition suit and put on a Ralph Lauren sweatshirt.

But they installed a pair of Lamborghini Gallardo 5.5L for this gentleman? V 10 engine, it is estimated that the engineer got drunk after drinking dark beer, which is not strong enough for a station wagon carrying his parents-in-law.

Finally, the twin turbines were stuffed into the engine room, achieving 580 horsepower and 650 Nm. Power once surpassed R8 to become the fiercest Audi of that year. It takes only 4.6 seconds to accelerate 100 kilometers with a 2-ton butt, and only 12.7 seconds to run to 200 km/h.

The key is RS6? Avant's eyebrows seem to be unable to sleep. If you were me, wouldn't you expect such a sharp contrast to have actual performance?

Ten years later, rs was no longer installed. I am a high-performance car duel. Today, I will show a wave of operation at Zhejiang Circuit.

Audi RS has arranged several projects in Zhejiang this time. Be familiar with the classic combination bends in Zhejiang in the morning, practice the mastery of braking points, entry points and exit points, and then run the time trial in the afternoon to deeply experience the performance of different models.

The first item is to use? RS5 drives in a straight line, and the big track accelerates. Don't worry about speeding and "ghost probe", experience the performance of a car in the safest and most thorough way.

The method of activating the jet start is very simple. Turn on the dynamic mode, pedal the left foot brake to the end, and pedal the right foot accelerator to the end. 450 horsepower at the bottom, 600 nm on standby.

Pull the speed to the limit of 3000 rpm, squat down and lift the front of the car, just like an arrow full of bows.

At this time, listen to the coach's instructions, release the brakes, and it will collapse in an instant. The whole process is to hold the body and eyeball tightly, and the five senses are receiving the impact of G value, so there is no time to appreciate the flowers and plants on the track.

In fact, running fast in a straight line is a technical job, but it is just an experience. The most is to listen carefully and listen to the instructions. Don't rush or jog.

But the most impressive thing about RS5 is not acceleration. On the contrary, this pair of carbon ceramic brakes is responsible for braking, which has strong braking force and fast heat dissipation, and there is no obvious attenuation when we rush down for several rounds.

Although the acceleration of about 4 seconds is high in a short time, it comes and goes quickly. When the body adapts to these G values, of course, it expects a more satisfying experience and makes the storm more violent.

After eating this appetizer, it is followed by RS5 track practice.

Zhejiang Race is a track full of fun and challenges. There are blind turns, false turns, S turns, steep turns and high-speed turns.

T2-T4 of the first project is a continuous curve of downhill, uphill and downhill again. In order to help us get familiar with the braking points, entry points and exit points better and faster, Audi specially put piles and barrels on the track.

The key point of stepping on the spot lies in the "point" seen by human eyes, which means there is a distance between the front of the car and the "point", so we should act later, otherwise braking early and turning early will have an impact on the route and time.

This is similar to learning to drive in a driving school. As soon as the front of the car arrives, braking, steering and acceleration will be more effective and safe.

At the same time, remember the routine of the coach and the basic skills of "putting outside and taking in". These are all to improve the turning speed and turn the corner in the fastest time. Good wiring sometimes comes faster than throttling welding.

In the high-speed track, your line of sight is the direction you want to go, so it is very important to look far and prepare for the next line.

For example, if you don't reach the braking point, you can look at the turning point and prepare for turning. Once you pass the entry point, you must straighten the front of the car against the exit point, and then step on the accelerator quickly and straight.

In order to accelerate and decelerate faster on the track, the wheels must be as straight as possible. Of course, if the technology is good, it is no problem to enter the corner while stepping on the brakes.

After that, we ran T 10-T 14 with RS4, which should be the most difficult and classic part of the Zhejiang race, with big drop, sharp and compact S-bend, U-turn and diving.

Facing the right-angle curve uphill like T 10, even if the rear wheel is greased and slid all the time, the bottom of the car will return to its original position very obediently, and there is no need to fight back to save the car like a high-power rear wheel drive.

With the blessing of quattro four-wheel drive system, all this has become very easy. You can even feel that the four-wheel drive is working, constantly controlling the torque output on both sides of the rear wheel, so that the attitude of the car and the driver is not embarrassing.

So I feel like a master when I drive RS4. No matter how active your ass is, you don't panic sitting in the car. The solid chassis keeps telling you: I can do it, brother. Go ahead.

This kind of controllable power performance also gives people strong self-confidence, and it is easy to have the illusion of "I am so powerful", which makes you feel that 500 horsepower is not uncontrollable. In fact, all this is due to quattro.

One thing to remember is to straighten the front of the car as much as possible when you step on the brakes in a straight downhill. At this time, almost all the weight was transferred to the front wheel and the front wheel, and the rear wheel lost its grip. If the front wheel is slightly directional, it may get out of control.

It is true that the limit of RS4 is very high, but once it breaks through the limit, it will be very difficult for the four-wheel drive to be rescued.

There is also a saying in the car circle: Audi RS is either not an accident or a big event.

Then there is T 1 1-T 12. This compact and continuous curve needs to eat shoulders, and the harder the better. If the shock absorber can't pull the car body, the whole car will jump obviously.

Because of the height difference between the curve and the shoulder, the grip on both sides is different, there are more tracks and fewer shoulders, and the car body is unstable, which is also one of the reasons for losing control.

On the one hand, RS4' s shock absorption retains the real-time road feeling, and the tire grip can be roughly understood through the steering wheel, which is beneficial to providing confidence for drivers.

At the same time, the vibration is well filtered, and the body does not panic, and still maintains a stable posture like a rail car.

At the moment when the track was seriously bent, I realized that this was a practical station wagon with a big ass.

The progress of science and technology has combined the unrelated and even mutually exclusive characteristics of performance, comfort and relaxation to a higher level, and we are also looking forward to the leg-stretching time trial.

Before the time trial, we drove S4 for a round of elk test.

Running an elk is the same as looking at a pile in the distance. Otherwise, if you stare at the pile in front of you and just avoid one pile after another, it won't be around the pile.

I have to say that when I got off the RS4 and transferred to S4, I obviously realized the difference between the two cars.

S4 is lighter and more flexible. With the same throttle opening and direction, S4' s rear wheels may start to tire, but RS4 still does.

But S4 is also very obedient, gently receiving the oil and inputting the direction, and the ass is happy to come back. Running the elk test doesn't feel heavy and boring.

In contrast, RS4 is too serious. On the contrary, S4 is more interesting. You prefer to tease S4' s reaction with aggressive throttle and direction.

During the national supply cut-off, dealers are trying to clear the goods, 3.0T? S4, blessed by V6 and quattro four-wheel drive, was in its early forties, and it was also a four-door saloon car with high cost performance.

The only regret is that S4, after the Sixth National Congress, always feels powerless when stepping on the accelerator and bypassing the bucket at a certain moment.

Unlike the previous S4, even at low speed, it has plenty of torque, that is, it is confident and calm.

On the other hand, it is not easy to buy a large-displacement multi-cylinder machine at this price these days. You know, a 2.0T small steel gun may cost twice as much as S4.

If I have to pick the place where I don't like Audi RS/S very much, it may be that the steering wheel is too electronic.

With the increase of turning angle, the intensity of steering feedback has not increased significantly, and it feels more like a car connected to a game machine than a wheel.

After practicing for a long time, I finally waited for the long-awaited time trial. I ran three laps with RS5, and the middle lap was a valid result.

Press RS2 on the lower steering wheel to switch to the most radical mode, similar to BMW's M 1/M2, allowing drivers to switch between different modes at the fastest speed.

However, RS2 modes can be customized, such as normal power, comfortable steering and dynamic damping. And it is not necessarily completely dynamic.

As soon as RS5 switched to the most radical mode, the gearbox adjustment was very dynamic, and it was always unwilling to upshift, so that it was very frustrating to drive at low speed, and it didn't help to upshift to second gear with a paddle.

However, it's all about shift response. Speed together is not a problem at all. The most important thing is to understand the driver's instructions in time. Upshifts will go up and downshifts will go down.

After three laps, I think the greatness of RS lies in that, relatively speaking, it lowers the threshold of high performance and track running, and you can confidently experience the pleasure of speed without the superb skills of drivers.

But through such an RS, you have confidence, and you are willing to polish and improve your skills, and finally give play to the strength of RS.

This is equivalent to a very patient and good teacher, and it is very suitable as a car that contacts the track.

Of course, some people think that the RS4/RS5 track is a bit dull. After all, the sound insulation is so good that you can't hear a lot of noise when you raise the window in the car, which is less unique.

In fact, in my eyes, the real meaning of RS lies in the last road test.

The road test is arranged on the mountain road next to the stadium. It was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon. The weather is cool, the sun is not so strong and dazzling, and it shines through the golden leaves.

Driving an RS4 like this on a mountain road in Zhejiang is like walking into the Top? The picture of the gear, good scenery and good car, perfect.

This is not driving, but obviously enjoying life and enjoying a quiet life.

There are 450 horsepower and 600 nm under your feet. Driving on the winding mountain road, full of confidence. Acceleration is a matter of gently stepping on the accelerator.

Except that the low torque is limited by National Six, the dynamic response is estimated to have a better performance if there is a 48V light hybrid to help start.

Strange to say, 2.9T? V6 With this chassis that keeps the road feeling and is comfortable at the same time, I would rather run at a speed of 70-80, but I don't even want to take a taxi.

What does Audi RS say? It's more like the car you drove home after a stressful day at the racetrack.

That is, I know you have great strength, but I don't need you to get excited now, and I don't need to keep hinting at how much you exercise. I should do it myself.

Of course, many people think that RS is not pure, has no driving pleasure, and is far less personalized than BMW M or Porsche 9 1 1.

What they don't know is that when these people closed the door of M, 9 1 1 and changed from boys to men, there was an Audi rs in the garage that was responsible for carrying family responsibilities.

Look at the driver Zhang Zhendong. Privately, he has an RS6, which is easy to drive, easy to use and fast.

Open RS, you don't have to look at the weather in the Gregorian calendar today, and you don't have to worry about picking up your wife and children. This is a multi-functional and compatible high-performance car.

This is what Audi has been pursuing. They said, "Audi? Should? Feeling? Effortless? To? " Driving "is not only fast, but also fast and effortless."
