High performance coupe thoroughness comparison

"M" of "S" of Audi, "RS", and BMW, "S" of Porsche .... To the base model, each premium brand company in Germany improves the performance of a run, and is doing the lineup of many high performance models which made the inner exterior sportily and high-class.
It is "S5" that Audi raised the degree of sportiness more based on "A5" of 2 door 4 Sita who made it revive for the first time in 11 years. 4.2L V8 direct-injection engine was carried and much equipment only for S is given to the inner exterior. A price is 8,610,000 yen.
As a high performance sports model of three series, as for M3 which greeted the 4th generation by the present model, it is the feature that not the straight 6 of BMW tradition but 4L V8 engine was given. Many of parts were considered as the exclusive design also here, and also using the roof made from carbon and an aluminum part abundantly, and attaining a weight saving and low center-of-gravity-ization etc. has become the full-scale contents which were more conscious of the run. The most expensive the prices of 10,030,000 yen - 10,500,000 yen, and in this time.
ケイマン is the model which gave and coupe-ized the stationary type roof by mid ship 2 Sita opening based on a certain I star. The "ケイマンS" which is a highly efficient model previously was introduced, and standard "ケイマン" was added from the model in 2007. Although all carry flat 6 engine, 2.7L and ケイマン S are set to 3.4L, and ケイマン differs in axle part, a brake, etc. The prices of 7,860,000 yen - 8,280,000 yen.
Audi S5, BMW M3, Porsche Three high performance models of a German coupe called ケイマンS are compared and introduced.
The highly efficient version of A5 which is the 2 door 4 シーター coupe which Audi sent out after a long time at the world is S5. A body called 4,635mm in full length and full [ of 1,855mm ] is a comfortable coupe style by a long wheel base & short overhang. A single frame grill, a position lamp of LED, etc. which are the identities of Audi show the front mask more impressively in recent years. The differences from A5 on appearance are the size of an order bumper, or an aero part and a tire & wheel, a wheel of an exclusive design, etc. S5 is a more dynamic image.
An engine is a 4.2L V8 direct-injection unit which generates horsepower output 354ps (260kW) / 7,000rpm, and maximum torque 44.9kgm (440Nm) / 3,500rpm. The newest クワトロ system of the variable torque split type which set basic drive distribution in front and behind to 40:60 is carried. This is manipulated by 6 速 taped ロニック AT. The feeling which comes out in front with a boss at the moment of stepping on an accelerator forcibly from a low rotation region advertizes high performance. It is the engine with a big driving pre jar that it has blown to a top end as it is, sounding a quick response and the sound appropriate for the high performance V8.
Handling offers coexistence of horse mackerel リティ (= quick nature) and スタビリティ (= stability) with the variable steering gear ratio in greatest arms called a クワトロ system. However, completeness is already one step individually. スタビリティ is very high, although the action of a car is stable, steering Feer is not a little linear and his feeling of grounding is thin. Although it was good especially at the time of large 舵角, it was felt in the minute 舵角 domain. Moreover, the characteristic of the brake common to the Audi vehicle is worrisome. Although it is right just in a high speed domain, to an everyday general run, it will be effective too much abruptly and smooth operation will be barred.
M3 used as the 4th generation. As a top model of three series, much more parts are considered as an exclusive design rather than before, high rigidity is realized, and it has become very full-scale contents, such as a weight saving which used the roof made from carbon, and the aluminum part abundantly, and reduction in the center of gravity. the impression the looks of M3 "are ferocious" to "elegant" 3 series coupe. Even if it sees in the road, presence has a way of M3.
6 速 MT is a setup with a short stroke of a transverse direction, and a long lengthwise direction. There is comfortableness and it is easy to operate. Since a clutch pedal is also a clutch corresponding to torque like this, sticking-by-pressure power must be high, but control force is very light.
4L V8 newly developed engine demonstrates horsepower output 420ps / 8,300rpm, and maximum torque 40.8kgm / 3,900rpm. 0-100 km/h acceleration is the first time in [ of 4.8 seconds ] high performance in an official announcement value. Seemingly engine Feer is M model, is a high rotation type, and is yellow and a red zone from 8,300rpm from 7,800rpm. actually smooth -- it can blow and an uphill condition is sky-high completely. Furthermore, since torque large displacement volume and sufficient also in a low rotation region is generated as it is, it is easy to ride also by MT. V8 thrilling sound as expected is played with a feeling of climax of torque.
In addition, since it says that it cannot respond to a super-high rotation region, valve トロニック original with BMW is not adopted as this engine.
The artificial sense of incongruity as which M servo トロニック power steering was regarded by the conventional active steering fades considerably, and can taste horse mackerel リティ (= quick nature) moderately. Probably, in addition to being rear-wheel drive, this hit has advantage in BMW which dealt with the variable steering ratio promptly. On the other hand, since スタビリティ is high, there are some persons who comment that the stimulus appropriate for M fades and interest is missing, but I regard the royal road of a present-day high performance car as it being the way this should be, as one set which goes.
ケイマン -- me -- although it is positioning called a star's coupe version with a roof, I feel that atmosphere is different fairly and is felt. It is Porsche, no matter where balance in front and behind may also be good, their body size may be small and it may see it from and yet per mid ship. It is visible also like the animal which aims at game, and there is even an impression sportier than 911.
ケイマン S differs in an engine, a brake, axle part, etc. to standard ケイマン.
First, an engine is sharply powerful. バリオカム plus is adopted like 911 and the power & torque which is horsepower output 295ps(217kW) &340Nm is generated. Although it is less than 0-100 km/h acceleration by the power performance in a numerical side 5.4 seconds and in this time, it excels in a pickup very much, and that it can blow going up is also smooth and there is taste like a highly efficient engine. However, there is what is called no sensuous thing, and, as for a feeling, only a part to have stepped on when rather stepping on generates torque mechanically as expected.
While the engine is carried this much in the near place with the crew member, noise and vibration are wiped away satisfactorily. In addition, there is also production of the sound for which a crew member is made to feel a driving pre jar perfectly. Tuning of the hit is very brilliant.
Footwork is wonderful. When a steering is cut deeply, for the moment, the fresh ground where a car turns around this car to the feeling which changes direction at will in a top does not occur. Furthermore, unevenness of a road surface is flexibly and nothing and road-hugging are not spoiled at all, but moreover, it is comfortable to ride in and excels also in going-straight stability.
A setup that throttle valve travel goes up sport mode, and axle part also becomes hard. All are very linear and 車重 is also lightweight compared with other two sets. As a whole, it was greatly impressed in the height of the degree of refinement and completeness of a run.
A user cannot be convinced, if there is no advantage of a run as it is rather than the satisfaction of appearance when a spread with a base model is considered about three sets taken up this time. These three sets differ in basic packages, such as an engine - a power train, considerably. The impression of the run is also characterized in accordance with it. Similarly S5 and M3 carry V8 engine, and they are following the process of the similar evolution, such as devising a steering mechanism. It is pleasant for the combination of V8 engine powerful into the comparatively compact body to have ridden to be sure. However, if it rides on ケイマン S anew there, it will be impressed to the merit of a history. Although it is inferior by power performance, a feeling of rigidity of the steering that from a handle to the tire is connected in one, the handling of ケイマン S, as for which admiration really exists, etc. are wonderful. I think that ケイマン has true horse mackerel リティ after all although S5 and M3 are trying to take out horse mackerel リティ with the technique of being different. Since this is a portion resulting from the fundamental layout as a car, although it is an unavoidable talk --
The cockpit of the right-and-left non-symmetry which did not show off 奇 but was arranged from the driver viewpoint based on the orderly layout of the straight line keynote. In addition, it has the equipment only for S of an aluminum part, S sport sheet for exclusive use, and high-class and sporty many. A steering wheel is equipped with Pasdeloup.
A large-patterned sheet is the specification of [ also jut out side support greatly and ] a stationary type in a headrest. The leather of magma red is also set up like photography vehicles.
Carbon is arranged on a center console or an inner door panel, or chromium is used for the circumference of an air-conditioner jet, a doorknob, and meter. Textures are very different, if there is this and it will drop off. Such specification can also be chosen if it is S.
"MMI" which is an interface original with Audi is equipped standardly, and the audio system of bang & オルフセン which is a high-class audio brand is also equipped standardly.
A rear sheet is perfect separate four-person riding specification, and serves as form sporty also here. Although it will not be necessary to think amenity as important so much because of a coupe, the hips point is not somewhat structure that an adult male can ride satisfactorily, widely [ the circumference of a knee ] by slight height from a front seat. It seems that the size of the depth of a luggage area is thought as important rather.
The luggage area also has narrow breadth and comes to place a golf bag aslant. Moreover, a rear sheet can be moved forward now by 6:4 division by the lever in the right and left on a luggage area.
The instrument panel which arranged the driver mainly to the last. The technique of the latest BMW of wrapping the whole in an exotic atmosphere is the same also in M3, installing independently the monitor of "iDrive" original with BMW for a meter hood in the center of a dash in front of a driver. And M with a memory designed based on the thick steering wheel and thick shift knob of a grip, and ergonomics M3 exclusive use is made to each part, such as a sport sheet.
Although the sheet using a high-class ノヴィロ leather for exclusive use has the largest overhang of side support in this time and can obtain a moderate feeling of a hold, since it can sit down relaxedly, it gets tired also with prolonged entrainment, and it is not knowing. The material only for M3 with higher-quality trims is used. It is the aluminum shadow trim of brush finish here. As it is, it is an expensive car, and before being a sports car, it is the impression made as a high rank personal coupe. It is separate four-person riding specification perfect [ a rear sheet ] also here. Too, although there is no margin in overhead clearance not much, 座点 is low, and a bearing surface is quite long considering a coupe, and the habitation space where an adult male can also sit down perfectly is secured.
the cockpit of such simple composition that it is unexpected -- primarily -- me -- when a star undergoes a model change into Type 987, it remembers that interior design changed with ガラッ. Although the way of the former was a novel design, it became the design which felt it refreshed whether he was conscious of safety or productivity. And it is fundamentally inherited by ケイマン as it is.
Also in the place which can obtain a very low position, the sheet of the grain leather which is excellent also in hold nature only relaxing moderately but 2 Sita this time, and being able to sit down is charm.
Moreover, it is designed based on the newest ergonomics and the structure of a cockpit which can devote in sport driving, such as good meter of visibility, arrangement of exact switches, a shift which is excellent in operativity, a suitable pedal layout, is Porsche truly. Everyday driving can also carry out skilled [ of the sporty taste ] with high comfortable nature.
The tight things itself are the tastes of this car, and the cockpit of the limited space also has a feeling of opening by a large window. And storage space is substantial in the unexpected thing. Moreover, a ラゲッジ compartment called Abbreviation 260L is set up also under Abbreviation 150L and the lid of リア in the front, a so so big load can also be loaded, and inferiority is impractical.
All state driver top priority and sufficient high-class feeling is given only to the car of this price. Before being a high performance car, it is also a luxury car. Furthermore, the similarity of equipment on account of [ which was born to the present age ] a highly efficient high-class sports car is seen. Condition which called "iDrive" in BMW and was called "MMI" in Audi. "M Drive" of BMW which can program a run of oneself specification also about a run, "a drive selection" of Audi, etc. Although, as for ケイマン S, the character of the car itself also differs in two above and a coat color to it, there is a field which was a little overdue according to the stage of evolution of these interfaces. However, ケイマン S is a pure sport and can also do the view that the user itself does not desire such equipment. On the contrary, the point that ケイマン S greatly considers practicality, such as abundant setup of storage space and a ラゲッジ space of order, was unexpected.
Audi which is advancing increase of vigor, and multi-type-of-a-car deployment increasingly recently. It seems that a fan is increased still more steadily although there are also many fans from the former.
Although Audi sporty under such circumstances is liking, in TT, he sharpens too much and the model which has appeal power very much thinks that it is A5/S5 to the user of not being realistic R8.
It is just a premium coupe and a silhouette is also very beautiful. Probably, Audi has planned such cars, and it thinks if it was able to send out at last at the world.
If it rides on S5, surely, a run will be good and will keenly realize the merit of a settlement as a car. However, as clear advantage as three series and the relation of M3 does not come as right 直伝わ to A5. And if ready for the expenses which buy this car, many more intelligible premium coupes also exist. Isn't some worth of 5 [ S] クワトロ, considering ?? With the performance car of this class, I think that it is a strong point that it is AWD itself. It becomes still more expensive although Carrera 4 exists also in Porsche. S5 has this performance, is also orthodox with a premium enough, and is the car -- which can ride four persons if compelled. And just the sporty and essential portion of the Audi クワトロ that it excels in スタビリティ, it is stabilized under any situations, and can run fast thinks that it is just the advantage of S5 maximum.
Highly efficient-ization of BMW is astonished. Even 335i put on the market about one year before M3 announced performance to the extent that he is surprised. In order to have realized the fresh ground above this those days by M3 which comes out someday, he thought what on earth it would do, but this car was loaded with that answer.
However, an engine is set aside and slowdown of footwork by having become heavy greatly cannot be wiped. As M3, it is thought somehow that it became rather close to M5 too much. There is a limit also in covering it with a tire or a steering. If it is called the peak of three series to the last, it will be lighter, will be compact and will also feel like wanting you being lightly that it is the body also very well.
The writer still thinks that it is an old sense of values that it is bad if a performance car is not Spa Letin. A car called M3 will be asked for the riding taste which made them all balance and which stood high. Not only a coupe but the hit into which a new model is sent thick and fast with DCT of a sedan, a convertible, and two pedals MT and BMW are continuing making a great leap with M3.
Although the wonderfulness of M3 can fully be understood also in the present condition, the model impressed more with "It is ! truly" will come out in the inside of the model life of this car in the future.
saying [ ケイマン ] -- me -- it is a star's developed type -- me -- after 987 of the star came out, it came out, but it can be said that it was refined from the part and the start and came out into the world in the state where it was completed. furthermore, me -- there is a strong point that body rigidity went up compared with the star, and the drive Feer thinks that he has arrived at the fresh ground which even 911 of an upper class endures. However, it is although there are restrictions of the hierarchy which neither an engine more powerful than 911 nor upper equipment is given to mid ship Porsche, and is not exceeded in the meaning although there will also be a situation inside Porsche --
me open individual with much trouble who saw, came out and appeared -- taking out ケイマン of a closed roof to a star -- me -- it was thought that existence of a star might be denied. However, such a thing could not be found. It is a car with value which is different in each.
ケイマン -- never -- me -- although it may necessarily be in the middle of 911 with a star and there may be sworn brother implications of 911, it has much charm to come to choose out of 911 here to positively rather. The height of practicality, such as excelling in weight distribution per mid ship, and securing the point that a sporty taste can be tasted more by an easy drive, and the comparatively big ラゲッジ space to order, with a lightweight compact, is also charm. If businesslike with two-person riding, it will be very comfortable, will excel also in practicality, and will become sporty move space.
