In fact, there are not too few high-performance models in the market. Among the top three ABBs, there are Audi's RS series, BMW's M series and Mercedes-Benz's AMG series, as well as Honda's Type-R and Volkswagen. The R series and so on.
, as the Audi RS with sports genes carved into its bones, its predecessor can be traced back to the quattro GmbH established in 1980. And as early as 1994, Audi RS officially launched the first RS model independently: RS2 Avant. Although it was called RS2 Avant at the time, it was actually the predecessor of RS4 Avant. After decades of development, the current S/RS models have fully covered most of Audi's cars and SUV models. Born on the track and built for the road, this is the gene behind the birth of the Audi RS.
In October of this year, Audi launched 9 new S/RS cars at the Zhejiang International Circuit. At the same time, since mid-November, Audi has started the "Audi Track Tour" activity in major racing circuits across the country. This car life was also a test drive to the new Audi RS4 Avant, RS5 Coupe/Sportback and S4 Limousine.
Yuppie crock-the new Audi RS 4 Avant
inherits the Audi RS family's high-performance extreme sports genes and perfectly integrates the practicality of the station wagon. After 26 years of continuous evolution, the new Audi RS4 Avant interprets the RS with a more public and sharp new attitude The unique charm inherent in the family.
Compared with the old model, the biggest change of the new RS4 Avant is its power system. The new car is equipped with a 2.9T V6 twin-turbocharged engine. This engine is led by Audi and developed in cooperation with Porsche. From the structural point of view, it is almost the same as the 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine on the Porsche Panamera, except that two cylinders are eliminated. But compared with the EA839 3.0T engine, the latter only has a single turbocharger, so the former will be more powerful, capable of outputting a maximum power of 450Ps and a peak torque of 600N·m.
On the track, after a simple brake and throttle, RS4 Avant can be ejected and started, it is simply a "violent machine". The bottom of the throttle, the roar of the engine and the fast-reversed road scene are telling others, don't jump me, otherwise you don't want to see my taillights.
all say that it can’t jump in a straight line. The RS4 Avant is indeed a “beast” in a straight line. Although Audi’s official data shows that the RS4 Avant has an acceleration time of 4.1s at 0-100km/h, on the track activities of the day, we In the actual test drive test, running into 4s is absolutely no problem.
But the RS4 Avant is not only the king on the straight line, it can also give the driver great confidence when cornering on the track. The front and rear suspension systems of the new car adopt a five-link independent suspension design, and the standard RS sports suspension system with dynamic driving control (DRC), and the suspension height is 7mm lower than that of the S4. The RS sports suspension system has been re-optimized by the Audi Sport sports department. Two new shock absorber central control valves have been added, and each shock absorber has two independent oil rails, which can be connected to the central control valve to dynamically adjust vibration reduction. The damping of the vehicle makes the working attitude of the shock absorbers on both sides of the vehicle more balanced, greatly offsetting the pitch and roll motion of the body, making the vehicle limit higher and handling more stable.
In addition, the new Audi RS 4 Avant comes standard with the only Audi quattro full-time four-wheel drive with a purely mechanical central differential in its class. In daily driving, the vehicle torque distribution is more inclined to the rear-drive characteristics, and the front-to-rear distribution ratio is 40:60. When one axle slips, most of the torque will be quickly transferred to the other axle, achieving a maximum front and rear power distribution of 70:30 to 15:85.
Violent Gentleman-The new Audi RS 5 Coupe/Sportback
is more practical than the RS4 Avant "the strongest grocery shopping cart on the surface", the RS5 Coupe/Sportback (hereinafter referred to as RS5) will pay more attention to performance.Because the tail is less weight than the RS4, the RS5 has gained better flexibility.
The power system of RS5 is the same as RS 4 Avant, but compared with RS 4 Avant's 4.1 seconds of acceleration from 100 kilometers, RS5 officially gives a speed of 3.9 seconds from 100 kilometers. Although the parameters given by Audi are generally relatively conservative, there is no problem with RS5 reaching 3.6-3.7s, but even 3.9s is enough for a big wave of supercars.
RS5 is the same as RS4 Avant. With the help of Audi driving mode selection system, users can switch between multiple driving modes at will, including comfortable, automatic, dynamic, personalized, and the newly added RS1 and RS2 custom modes. The choice of different driving modes will affect the settings of key technical components, such as the engine, transmission, sports differential, dynamic steering system, and optional components including DRC dynamic driving control system and sports exhaust.
In the case of intense driving, the dynamic steering system closely cooperates with the electronic stability control system (ESC). The dynamic steering system will change the steering ratio according to the vehicle speed and the mode selected in the Audi dynamic driving system. The maximum change can be up to 100 %. In the dynamic driving mode, the vehicle can make targeted linear adjustments to the steering to obtain the best feedback on the road surface and driving behavior. If necessary, the system can even reversely adjust the steering angle setting, thereby reducing The occurrence of under-steer and over-steer caused by load changes ensures excellent sports handling and driving safety.
sports luxury-the new Audi S4 Limousine
car lives in the gap waiting for the off-track, and also test-drive the new Audi S4 Limousine that came together. Is there a friend who is stupid about S4 and RS4? The Audi RS4 comes from the Audi Sport, which is Audi's high-performance model, while the Audi S4 comes from the Audi imported car, which is not the same platform model as the Audi RS4. Although
seems to be quite different, the acceleration performance of S4 and RS4 is not much different, that is, the difference of 0.6s (4.7-4.1 = 0.6s). The Audi S4, which uses a standard-axle 4-door 5-seater sedan design, is equipped with a 3.0T V6 single turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 354Ps and 500N·m. It is matched with the same 8-speed Tiptronic transmission as the RS4 and adopts a full-time four Drive and crown gear differential, acceleration from 100 kilometers to 4.7 seconds.
The test drive of the S4 was arranged on a winding mountain road outside Guiyang, and there was a "Fujiwara no Tofu shop" on the top of the mountain. It was properly arranged as "Initial D" for us. I don’t know. Will Xia Shu who arrive at the Audi S4 get in my car?
During the test drive on the entire mountain road, the car life felt that the new Audi S4 Limousine has a very dense low-speed gear ratio, long-lasting acceleration, a smaller gear ratio during overspeed, and high-speed cruising is very efficient. In addition, thanks to the new car’s standard quattro four-wheel drive system, the vehicle’s torque distribution tends to be more rear-drive during the entire driving process. The front-to-rear distribution ratio is 40:60. When one axle slips, most of the torque will be transferred quickly. To the other axle, it can achieve better proportional distribution of front and rear power.
