Jaguar XF SV8

It was blessed with the opportunity to test-ride Jaguar XF in Monaco before the debut in Japan. The ability of the new generation jaguar clothed in hi-technology is how. We will send a Tatsuya Kushima reporter's account of a trial ride to you.
The mid size saloon of the jaguar announced by the Frankfurt auto show of autumn last year and XF were released at last. Because this car has debuted as a concept car of the name of C-XF also by the Detroit auto show of the 2007 year beginning of the year, it serves as the impression ..., at last.
However, it is [ big ] reasonable in having appealed that in teaser. They are the sluggish sales in the main market North America on account of [ which a jaguar has ] conservativeness. Then, it is existence of the new model which incorporated a new concept, and the hope for a jaguar needed to be instigated.
This technique is used also with the new model XK of precedence. And the 2nd phase is this XF. Only to 4 door saloon which serves as volume zone at a handy price from XK, the degree of expectation is high also as a jaguar side. Probably that sales trend influences this future brand, but it will be good.
The chassis of XF is an evolved type of XK. Although aluminum is not used abundantly like XK, the weight saving is fully attained.
The prejudice to 空力 is also strong. Use the low tail of jaguar tradition as a high tail, and downforce is earned, and also the angle of the window of order was made almost equal, the lift difference was brought close to zero, and the splendid numerical value of the Cd value 0.29 is produced. a result -- XF -- a jaguar in history but the 空力 characteristic -- having excelled -- a model -- becoming -- てい .
The exterior design which has pushed forward newness is valued in the portion in which DNA of the jaguar also hid.
It is said that according to a design director, Mr. Ian Callum, it is a line into which E type flows, and it is the purity of a mark 2 and is the proportion of XJ6 series 1. Incidentally, although the front mask referred to the mark 2 at the beginning of development, since it is too retro, it is said that it referred to XJ6 for 68 years. Although it is a digression, Mr. Ian Callum is the person who designed van quiche by アストン Martin before a jaguar transfer.
Also in the utility, XF is finished well. The angle of improvement in the 空力 characteristic to the rear window became equivalent to a front window, but even so, the head was not obstructed in a backseat. It is more impressive by the benefit of a long wheel base that the step was felt large than by it.
In S class, it is also the feature of this car that the high dashboard became low. Thereby, of course, the front field of view from a backseat greatly opened the front seat.
I want to observe this dashboard also in the height of design nature (refer to photograph flash). The retro modern effect which makes the design of mid-century furniture consider could be called true value of a new jaguar. He has a premonition which has big influence on the interior design of a future car. He visits a dealer by all means and I want to confirm by my eyes.
A trial ride vehicle is two sets, the natural aspiration (NA) of V8, and this unit + supercharger (SC), 4.2l. The former is [ 298ps and the latter of a horsepower output ] 416ps. In addition to this by Japanese specification, V6 [ 3l. ] is prepared. It fights there with an output called 238ps.
NA and SC became and drive Feer was sporty. A lighter accelerator and the engine response to it are sensitive, and push out XF in front lightly. The reaction of a steering is also quick.
That is not right, either, if sporty this much and a degree of comfort is also called slight hardness or ?. There is no rough pressure from below etc. and it lets a level difference go past flexibly. This neighborhood is carried out to although put, can be bought and can be. Probably, it is a thing with a strange arrangement. The jaguar customer's "cat leg" is living.
Of course, SC loading car called SV8 demonstrates supreme performance. Although it is the degree which attached the mouth involuntarily as "? [ being quick ] which elapse and is not", correspondence of a brake to power is performed enough.
When above-mentioned Mr. Ian Callum was interviewed by Tokyo Motor Show last autumn, he had said, "If not only a design but this car runs, it is uncannier ...." Indeed, I feel that I understand, so that it passed enough for the meaning by this trial ride. Evolution of a jaguar and its directivity became clear now. Though a heritage is valued, it is going to take in spirit of innovation and a sporty run positively.
The "jaguar sense" which adopted touch sensing, the "starting sequence" which a start button turns on like the beat of the heart, etc. are the equipment which is not until now, and can be expected that such technology will become standard in the industry from now on.
By the way, a sale start in Japan consists of May 16. A price is entry model 3.0 luxury and is from 6,500,000 yen. Therefore, SV8 of a top end is the difference of about 3,500,000 yen 9,950,000 yen. according to 3l. performance -- super- -- it may become 得な shopping. However, a larger wheel suits this car well. The style of SV8 which wore 20 inches will be best matching.

Unusual popularity and Fuji mountain climbing

The mountaineer who aimed at the Mt. Fuji top from the Yamanashi side in [ of 7 or August, this year / mountains-in-summer ] two months amounted to 247,000 persons. Although a factor has more than one, if it reaches this much in ひ and summer, a surprising person will also come out. On the other hand, while the movement toward world's cultural heritage registration accelerated, the talk of "being a charged system about mountain climbing" also came out in the protection of nature. "2008 Summer and Mt. Fuji" were summarized. (牧井 Masaaki)
In the record in Showa 56 and afterwards, 200,277 for 62 years were the highest. Record is broken at a stretch this summer. although regulation of private cars of the toll road which leads to the fifth stage is carried out for two weeks in mid-August every year in order to protect animals and plants from an exhaust gas -- regulation -- never mind. It could pass through the bus and 3000-8000 mountaineers acted as Iriyama a weekday also this year. "If hot, it is said that mountaineers will increase in number", but it is not likely to be only heat.
What "the weather of the mountain was [ the thing ] stable this summer" is mentioned to the 1st reason in case of analysis of the Fuji Yoshida Mt. Fuji division of foot. Although six typhoons have developed on Japanese Nankai during a season, one piece is not approaching Mt. Fuji, either. The 2nd is "movement toward world's cultural heritage registration of Mt. Fuji." This raised the degree of attention. ""Cheap, short, and nearby" Fuji mountain climbing was chosen by the gasoline jump" is large. Mountains-in-summer mountain climbing is recommended to the baby boomers who retired in a mountain-climbing article store in the city of Tokyo. Naturally, a target is Mt. Fuji.
On the other hand, regulation of private cars is also referred to as having had good influence. The travel company etc. mentioned what "mountain climbing as the part where a privately-owned car does not go into a toll road, and which does not have traffic congestion, and a schedule can also carry out." In a hut, an accommodation capacity is strictly observed for comfortable stay from this summer "to sell." Such a factor serves as a backdrop that the mountaineer increased rapidly. This boom and next year or subsequent ones are likely to continue.
<> "> <> <>
When a person like this climbs Mt. Fuji, it is variously. Four parents and children have jumped into the first-aid station of the eighth stage around 11:00 p.m. in mid-August. The schoolchild was trembling with the side of the father "a son's condition is bad" by one T-shirt. Although it is mountains in summer, temperature is 10 or less degrees in the eighth stage [ about ] of night. When the staff inquires it as "spare clothing" and "reservation of a hut", there "there is neither spare clothing nor reservation." The child has fallen victim to a father without the knowledge of Mt. Fuji. Then, a father is "putting it to sleep here (first-aid station)." I am amazed at irresponsibility.
There was also a trouble of a toilet. Although all changed to the water-purifying circle method or the biotoilet by last year in the hut of Mt. Fuji, fault occurs in a certain hut. Treated water was not purified but it became a situation where it had to drain. That what is necessary is just to carry out a maintenance once in two months, since ず exceeded throughput by the increase of a user, treated water was exchanged no less than 3 times in this hut.
There is also a relieved talk. On August 7, the male in his 50's of Saitama Prefecture broke down from the rocks between the 7-eighth stage. A male is a cardiopulmonary arrest temporarily. The hut was equipped with AED (automatic external defibrillator) although carried to the first-aid station of the eighth stage. Receiving the doctor's disposal using AED, the male regained consciousness.
<> "> <> <>
It is overwhelmed by the mountaineer of "being at the summit of the mountain about ご来光" directly under [ in front of dawn / summit-of-the-mountain ] in case of the season that a mountaineer exceeds 200,000 people. From a mountain trail, it shifts, and in order to reach, a surface of a mountain is damaged. There is also a garbage problem. With a lignosa belt, an alpine plant steps on and is damaged. In the Yamanashi side, the capacities of 16 huts of the 5-eighth stage total about 3300 persons per day. Many days reach 10,000 or more people, and those who cannot stay at a hut also come out of them.
On the 2nd of this month, Mayor Shigeru Horiuchi of Fuji Yoshida-shi showed the idea which asks a mountaineer for the source of revenue which protects Mt. Fuji to the question from a journalist in order that "The charge of Iriyama may be required in the future." It had proposed collection of the charge of Iriyama by someone" that a mountaineer, Mr. Ken Noguchi, soils work "Mt. Fuji. "If the charge of Iriyama enters, the source of revenue of protection management will be allotted. It thinks in long Sepang and afforestation, maintenance of a promenade, investigation of vegetation, etc. can be tackled completely and specially. If I get those who go to the fifth stage temporarily to pay 100 yen per person, it will be 200 million to a year at 2 million people. It is 500 yen and is 1 billion. The collected expense explained, "It could spend on protection of Mt. Fuji."
If the charge of Iriyama is taken, you have to strive for safe reservation of the Iriyama person more than former. When becoming, how to restrict Iriyama had to be considered, but the Watanabe 凱保 mayor of Fuji Kawaguchiko-cho said, ""The Iriyama regulation" is required when human damage is in sight", and indicated human environmental destruction of Mt. Fuji that a radical measure was demanded.
Mt. Fuji is a Japanese precious article. There was an economical benefit, and when maintaining Mt. Fuji and reciprocity, it arrived at the situation where the charge of Iriyama and the Iriyama regulation are considered, at last. It seems that "autumn Fuji" to which silence returned has felt relieved.

Nissan X-Trail turbo diesel

It was blessed with the opportunity of the Nissan X-Trail turbo diesel to participate in a test-ride event specially. Although this car is already put on the market in Europe, it is introduced into Japan as a clean diesel car of the domestic maker first person to arrive this autumn.
Fuel is made to inject in the place which compressed air within the cylinder and became high-pressure high temperature, and diesel engines are natural ignition and a system which carries out explosive combustion. The gasoline engine which makes it mix with gasoline beforehand and takes the combustion system by plug ignition differs in character naturally.
Are easy to generate PM (particulate matter) and NOX (nitrogen oxide), and a demerit is easy to produce noise and vibration.
A merit is excellent in fuel consumption and is that the amount of emergence of CO2 is environment-friendly few. And the technology which harnesses the merit more has been developed in recent years.
Common-rail type injection of fuel is right. It is a thing of a combustion control system which maintains fuel at high pressure (1800bar), and gives several times of injections of fuel to one combustion by in ジェクター of a ソレノイド type or a ピエゾ type.
ピエゾ type in ジェクター said for the X-Trail turbo diesel which test-rode this time to have the at present highest performance although it is a quite special talk is used.
I will actually go into the impression of a X-Trail turbo diesel.
The feature of the exterior of the Europe specification is a front face. Volume was attached to the front bumper and the slit of the transverse direction is contained in the center. Since インタークーラー is stored here, it serves also as the purpose of the cooling.
It will begin to run instantly. First, engine starting. The sound of an idling is the sound of a diesel clearly. Since it is SUV, it may be allowed and SUV-likeness of X-Trail may be impressed on the contrary more strongly, but probably, the vibration which gets across to a handle needs to take the mount method etc. into consideration to adopt it as models other than SUV.
However, the people from Europe do not say such trifles this and that. Actually, the sales number of Europe is good. Surely must be some reasons there. What on earth is the charm of the X-Trail diesel which diesel power Europe accepts?
The reason of the Europe good condition and its answer were beginning to run, and were understood immediately. sound -- a diesel -- if it begins to run but, it is quiet just like a gasoline engine, and smooth. Although gasoline specification was also test-ridden simultaneously, if it begins to run, the cabin is quieter than gasoline.
Probably the measures against oscillating noise will be taken more. It seems that moreover, it is carrying out happy [ of the thing with a small mechanical noise ] since the use engine rotation region of a diesel engine is low.
ピエゾ type in ジェクター which has high performance stated as mentioned above is adopted as 2.0l. 4 cylinders of serial common-rail type diesel carried.
The effect of this in ジェクター is high and the response of the engine to accelerator operation is actually felt very good. Usually, although it was a diesel engine which tends to become rotation Feer who considered it as Dara - ン, rotation Feer of X-Trail had a thing near a gasoline engine.
Furthermore, surprisingly this engine turns without stress to 5500rpm in which an engine limiter operates. Although a red zone is from 4500rpm, if not careful, it exceeds simply.
Although the 6 速 MT vehicle and 6 速 automatic-transmission car (after-mentioned) carried out by having considered it as the trial ride vehicle and were prepared, I will report the engine number of rotations in o'clock of 100km/h 6 速 and 5 速 in a 6 速 MT vehicle.
6 速 are set to 1900rpm and 5 速 are set to 2200rpm. passing acceleration at a high speed is natural -- it is more advantageous to use 5 速 -- the maximum torque of MT specification calls it 360Nm at 2000rpm but -- since it is powerful, stress is not felt so much with 6 速. This neighborhood is just going to feel the merit of a diesel engine.
Although matching with a diesel and AT was the place where every maker is suffering troubles, 6 速 AT of X-Trail was finished in what it is smooth and easy to treat.
It is the disposal for uniting this with the durability of transmission, although the engine of 6 速 automatic-transmission car has lowered 40Nm of maximum torques compared with MT. However, since 過給 pressure is the same 1.9bar as MT, it is not a degree which holds dissatisfaction including a feeling of acceleration. If it says by force, is a difference with a 6 速 MT vehicle on the 2000rpm level immediately after start?
The engine was called the M9R type and born by joint development with Renault.
A compression ratio is set to 15.6 [ low for a diesel ] (usually around 17), and mitigation of the burden which weakens explosion torque and starts the inside of an engine is aimed at. Therefore, the weight saving of the rotation portions, such as a crank, is carried out, and the response is good like a gasoline engine.

Mercedes Benz C class wagon C200 compressor avant-garde

New style C Klas Sedan which shows good sale. Although I hear that the height of the completeness was supported by many users, can it say that a wagon is also the same? The performance was checked focusing on C200 compressor avant-garde. [
Seemingly in fact as an in porter, although good sales are continued and home sales have been the Mercedes Benz C classes which have already broken through a total of 11,000 sets since the appearance in June, last year, it is dissatisfaction still more. Then, that expectation is applied is C class wagon newly added to lineup.
Because it says that about twenty percent of sale of C class was formed in the predecessor, naturally the reason for expectation is not only it but that the addition of the number can be expected. In fact, it is because the user layer is rejuvenated with his 30-40's and グッ to the number of the centers of C Klas Sedan being 40-50 and the change ratio from other brands moreover reaches also to 60 percent.
Of course, the degree of attention is high also for a general [ us ] user. For the young user layer which began to get interested in C class by the type-of-a-car deployment set focusing on the avant-garde of a sporty design, and the run which emphasized horse mackerel リティ (= quick nature),It is because some will greatly still thin surely if they are a station wagon if it is a sedan, hesitation, i.e., the image of being casually missing, of getting Mercedes who will remain.
A highlight is a style first. The new model has started the angle in consideration of practicality to the predecessor model having thought fashionability as important and having put the rear gate to sleep strongly.
However, the side view is not the aloof thing which gave priority only to practicality, and is a sharp and sporty atmosphere like a sedan. It is a point on a design to show the load room portion compactly because an arch-like roof falls gently-sloping toward back to the waist line which rose.
Too, it rises in front fender back and the character line in which the taillight carried out the kick rise by the way as well as a sedan is playing a role in the production of a feeling of a lively motion.
Although the angle of the rear gate is started to be sure, stylishness is never spoiled. Even the predecessor user charmed by appearance if it was this does not waver to a change.
450l. from which ラゲッジ capacity also usually increases by 20 of a predecessorl. by the time with the body size slightly enlarged with 30mm with 40mm and full at full length. Where a rear sheet is toppled, 1465l., the increase of 151 l., is secured very much. This figure far exceeds rivals, such as a BMW3 series touring and Audi A4 アバント.
Moreover, the point which it pulls for eyes that it is not only large, but the rear sheet became foldable only by pushing down with back rest near at hand from the conventional double folding type. If capacity is pursued, it is at an advantage in a double folding type, but this one is easier for treatment, and while holding the load etc. especially in one hand, it is positively found useful.
It is finished on the full-scale wagon which is not as stage properties for directing a life style, and is advertized also to the user that they will actually use carrying a full load of people or a load.
Although lineup applies to a sedan correspondingly fundamentally,V Only C300 which carries a type 6 cylinders 3l. unit is not prepared for a station wagon, but an engine serves as 2.5l. of 6-cylinder V models of C250, and double-feature of the serial 4 cylinders 1.8l. supercharger of C200 compressor. Especially, C200 compressor avant-garde is regarded as a popular model, and this is this trial ride vehicle.
Although 車重 is increasing about 60kg compared with a sedan, most power performances are equal. although the time of zero start etc. is also felt like [ so that weight may be felt for a mere instant after breaking in an accelerator until a car actually begins to move ] -- a difference -- to that extent . When having begun to run, practical torque was demonstrated by the favor of the supercharger which demonstrates the 過給 effect from a low-speed region, and, of course in one-person entrainment, it did not feel powerless by three-person entrainment, either.
engine Feer -- high-quality -- even when -- V type -- although the direction of 6 cylinders excels, if it becomes most to load people and a load and to use on the inside of a town or a general way, it will be like [ to choose as here positively rather ].
Generally, in a sedan and a station wagon, it rides from 車重 and the difference of body rigidity, and a difference arises in a taste. Although this C class wagon is not that exception, either, that difference is small noisily.
First, a degree of comfort. The station wagon is a little harder a little too. It is because the suspension of リア is hardened slightly in consideration of loading a heavy load in the second half of a body according to the increase of weight of a part.
Handling also gives the weight of リア. Moreover, the noise which invades from back during a run was also felt large a little. This can be said only to the wagon which does not have a partition behind a rear sheet unlike a sedan as what is not avoided as for a certain grade. However, only this one set rides and it is not a hard thing which is impressed heavy with it being noisy.
Each of all elements, such as a style, user-friendliness, and a run, is materialized at the high dimension. Not only those that are examining the wagon of this class but the man of a sedan aim is one set of the value ant of a glimpse.

Jaguar XF3.0Premium Luxury

The high run performance produced by using the inner exterior design with which tradition and innovation were mixed, and the suspension of XK impresses birth of new ジャガーネス. Focusing on 3.0Premium Luxury, I will tell charm of the new style jaguar XF.
The novelty which makes it regard it as -- whether the impression which had rooted as an image of a jaguar of "not matching well to some extent unless it piles up age" will cover was full of XF in Japan until now.
Quite first aggressive [ considering appearance ]. He will be further surprised after sitting on a driver's seat. Although there is just no sound effect "シャキーンッ" etc. just as it twists a key, the jet of an air-conditioner opens and a dial type shift selector rises simultaneously. It is those motions and a driver is made to realize unwillingly appearance from which a machine wakes up.
Although the example which expresses a feeling of starting of a machine by the writing, motion of the needle of meter, etc. has increased recently, a radical thing cannot be found so far. And since it is a jaguar said for it to respect tradition, he will be surprised.
It is not only novel, but it merely has a noble atmosphere in character with the British vehicle with it in the detail of the inner exterior. This exquisite balance is like [ admirable ].
Although it is a form which impresses a run in whether to want to resemble a coupe, not only appearance but functionality is taken into consideration with the natural thing. It has the 空力 characteristic which was most excellent in a jaguar called the Cd value 0.29.
And this body is proud of the class top's twist rigidity with the combination of the steel steel materials of the grade differences among 25 kinds.
Interior design is the combination of modern wood and the aluminum panel which gave シボ processing, and is collected into a decent atmosphere. It is a portion in which the tradition of a jaguar is given.
Room light blink which adopted the touch sensor, and glove box opening and closing are the portions in which the spirit of innovation of Jaguar XF is given. A blue accent light is also kind to eyes at the tone over which it does not pass abruptly.
The space to which an adult can relax enough with the form in which a backseat is coupe-like is secured. No satisfaction of owning a jaguar is hurt.
The engine carried in a tough body is three sorts, V6.3 l., V8.4.2 l., and V8 and 4.2 リッタースーパーチャージド, and serves as combination with 6 速 AT altogether.
Although it is the 6 速 AT, the world's first rotary type AT shift which adopted the shift by wire is adopted. Apparently, although it is likely to be bewildered by operation, it is completely satisfactory. It will be able to treat easily. A feeling of operation is as light as フワリ, and also when putting into R range by vehicle warehousing etc., operation is possible easily.
The パドル shift which returns to D range with the hold for 2 seconds also has good operativity. It is proud of speed [ quicker about 10% than XK ] in variable speed, and sport driving can be enjoyed more than enough.
When three sorts of engine-loading vehicles are incidentally compared, the way of V8 has the room appropriate for a jaguar. However, the direction of V6 which whose weight of the circumference of a front is light and has a light feeling more is in the character of XF.
The feeling at the time of the cornering of XF is characteristic. If it is smoothly called スーッ extremely, maintaining [ like a sports car, stop a fulcrum, and do not carry out a cornering so that グーッ and an arc may be drawn with compass, but ] a moderate roll, it will be an impression at which it turns somehow.
Although it was a jaguar said to have approached the riding taste of the German vehicle recently, he did not forget the run peculiar to the British vehicle made into フワリ.
When those who take the British vehicle and have not got used in the reason for saying grasp a steering suddenly, there may be honest puzzlement. However, since it will get used immediately, worries are not needed. Since trace nature is a quite high level, although carried into winding for the first time, it is getting-used [ it ]-in the twinkling of an eye guarantee.
It seems that the utility attached greater importance than to tradition to now. The 500l. luggage area that loading of the golf bag of crew member 5 justification is possible serves as first trial as a jaguar in the example of representation.
A product made by Bowers&Wilkins 440W premium sound system with one set of 13 sets of the speakers developed for exclusive use and subウーハー is also one of the equipment of a reception to XF owner. And I also support iPod and can hear about the challenging positiveness which is not bound by tradition.
Although it is said that "not being caught by it too much although educated by tradition" is this development theme, the posture can be read also at such places.
Moreover, the data of considering the change also has the owner more than an S type half in XF, and offer of an active utility could be said also to the needs of those who choose the jaguar of a new time as the Schickele 応えている.

Volkswagen パサート CC3.6FSI4 motion

意欲作 パサート CC of VW which united the coupe and the sedan is test-ridden in Germany. It is a check about the potential a little before before Japanese landing.
A sedan attractive recently is beginning to come out, so that SUV boom 揺り return-? can be thought. Stylish mono-だ which is separated from an image called three existing boxes as for a sedan.
Speaking concretely, being the new style jaguar XF which landed at Japan this year, and each one called the Porsche パナメーラ and アストン Martin ラピード which will be put on the market from this year to next year. Although each has four doors, it becomes the greatest feature to have a line which flows.
If it is called the pioneer of such a trend, it will be the Mercedes Benz CLS class. A success which included the leg of SL in the chassis of E class serves as the beginning of this flow. VW was looking sideways at it. As CLS was so for Mercedes, a ぱあ sir and CC serve as a trial completely new for VW.
VW named this car CC (コンフォータブル coupe). If it is called CC, it of Peugeot will be visualized, but it is 4 door coupe which they aimed at, and is a position called a ひ [ of the existing sedan ], and class top.
パサート sedan plus 31mm full length, full [ plus 36mm ] and it, and all the minus 50mm quantities serve as vital statistics of パサート CC. a result -- full length -- a little less than 4.8m -- becoming -- full -- 1.9m -- it is likely to arrive -- a number -- having become . Front and back is expanded and a tread also forms the proportion on ひ and a class obviously.
Although it is CC of such a dimension, a chassis frame is diverted from a パサート sedan. Therefore, also in a permanent four-wheel drive system, with a base, FF package of every width serves as [ an engine ] 4MOTION. Considering the point, パサート CC is a derived model to the last, and there is no freshness in basic structure.
が and an exterior design realize the all new splendidly. A front window and the same rear window of an angle induce the smooth form of the air resistance coefficient (Cd value) 0.29. it should mention especially -- the lid and it having been alike and having really prepared [ having considered it as the high deck with a high position of a suitcase, and ] the spoiler of the formula. This is the technique of earning downforce clearly.
The sheet layout of 2+2 was surprised by パサート CC. Although the size rise of the body was carried out from the usual sedan, it is daring make the rear sheet into +2 Sita. This reasoning is just an important concept of this car, and it becomes a place it makes it called 4 door coupe. It is true that inconsistency does not arise in a development concept.
And while the amount of [ of a rear sheet ] central part becomes an arm rest, it is equipped with storage space and a cup holder. And if this arm rest is shifted ahead, suitcase through appears and the board of skiing can be stacked. The device with which it is not made to finish it only as this style truly calls it VW.
The circumference of an instrument panel is a portion the feature of this car is clearly claimed to be while leaving パサート-likeness. it says -- if it becomes -- sporty & -- it is an elegant result. Although this was born by having given the originality different from a パサート sedan, in fact, the design of フェートン is poured in there. In short, ひ and 車格 on a class are expressed.
As for パサート CC of the schedule introduced into Japan, 3.6 l. V6 of 2l. direct 4TSI of 200ps and 300ps are carried. However, this overseas trial ride was not [ a 2l. engine ] of use, therefore the V6 lead was taken.
This unit added the hand for that with which トゥアレグ is loaded to パサート CC. Management of 吸排気 and the design of the circumference of a head are changed as well as programming of a computer. Of course, although they are also the work which carries out every length every width, you may call it resetting which was conscious of the feeling. It asked for seasoning as an elegant passenger car different from SUV.
And it was beginning to run and he has understood it immediately. Linear that it can blow going up from a low speed is pleasant, and it tells that this car has sporty character to a driver. inside prompt -- ら -- Darre -- the acceleration which is not is also good. For running pleasantly in a speed region like an out burn, it is best.
Of course, it is also clear that DSG contributes to a smooth run like this greatly. The shift change which changes "with a clang" is pulling out delicious さ of this engine.
Although the power train of an impressive style and a VW no one but is キモ of this car, in fact, there are many parts which should be observed besides it. For example, the electronic control suspension called adaptive chassis control (DCC) works effective in a degree of comfort. A change has a sport, comfort and it, and Normal that performs these 2 changes automatically. an effect shows up literally and the comfort with a hard sport offers a soft leg. And since the amount of assistance of パワステ also changes, the driver can feel the difference in the mode unexpectedly.
There are park assistance and rain assistance in other attention equipment. The thing of cutting and correcting automatically, as for the former, a car performing wheel operation of parallel parking freely, the latter not having meant but the car having protruded it from the run lane for a wheel. Although both are already taken in with some domestic cars, by an import vehicle, it is new. Considering the point, it is equipment needed in Japanese specification.

Audi TTS

Although it thinks that imagination is possible immediately from S being attached to TT, Audi TTS is a high-end machine of the Audi TT series. The powerful 2l. engine developed newly invited to the world of the Fant drive.
Audi to which the still sportier image became strong by the appearance of the mid ship sports car R8. RS series is also being built one by one as well as S series.
In such inside, the further sports model was added to TT series. The name is TTS. In addition to the upgraded engine and the electron device which backs it up, an original part is equipped also in respect of a design.
The feature of TTS located in the top of TT is 2l. upgraded by 272ps whatever it might call it. TFSI unit. Considering that these old displacement volume engines were 200ps, it can be called an extensive improvement. And the transmission put together is 6 速 S トロニック. As for a drive system, the クワトロ system of boast is adopted. In short, it is on parade [ of the newest technology ].
TTS serves as a result which can take in the "now" of Audi.
Founder TT came out with the appearance which takes in the Bauhaus design of the 1920s about ten years ago. Subject was reviewed at the bold silhouette and wheel arch which used the circle as the motif.
And as for the present model of the 2nd generation, first, the coupe was added in 2006 and the roadster was added in an appearance and its next year. The feature is a body in which a feeling of a lively motion is impressed by muscularity. Though the first image was protected, an aggressive atmosphere was created splendidly.
It comes out and the design which advertizes the element of "running" to the TT is given when it comes to TTS. The same processings as R8 or the new model A4 -- the width of a lattice becomes large, the paint of the single frame grill of familiarity is carried out in platinum gray like S series, and also it equips LED in a headlight unit -- are performed.
Although full length and full are expanded a little from TT as for body size, height is stopped low conversely. At the point, it could be said that a feeling of volume came out. The beetle exaggerated fender is also emotional.
The interior design of TTS does not change a lot with it of TT. But the degree of special is increasing.
For example, a white needle will be once shaken off to Max at a stretch, and a gray tachometer and a gray speedometer will return, if ignition is turned ON. It is the technique of tickling a sport mind. Furthermore, the lap time counter for a circuit run is also built in the driver information on a white display.
A sheet is only for TTS. The combination of a leather and Alcantara takes out a high-class feeling. Production is a cinch by a stitch entering. Of course, form is a sport sheet and supports カラダ firmly.
The capacity of a coupe is a layout of four persons of 2+2 like TT. However, it is better not to expect the amenity of リア. Although a 700l. luggage space can be earned at the maximum with a division 可倒 type sheet ...
The eyeball of TTS is an engine as the beginning described. The 2l. TFSI 200ps version used as a base began from tuning of the in テーク side cam shaft or a balancer shaft, and was finely improved to the piston pin, this ring, a connecting rod, etc.
Although 6 速 manual of transmission is a standard, S トロニック is also prepared as the option. Combination with this option carried out the test drive in the Munich suburbs.
Having ridden and having felt first should say that a turbo without a time lag accelerates with sufficient vigor from low rotation unexpectedly. It is like [ by which カラダ is forced on a sheet ]. According to the data, since 0-100 km/h acceleration of the coupe of S トロニック specification calls it 5.2 seconds, it is conviction.
And above inside 速域, the run which wants to come to tilt a head, saying "It is 2l.? to ホント" is shown. That is, it is the feeling which is stacking bigger engines also including a feeling of torque of middle acceleration. A cornering is not necessarily feared at the speed, either, although nature and penetration speed increase.
The character differs in TTS being on the extension from Founder TT from it of those days greatly surely but. the design of a golf base -- it has evolved into 2 door coupe / roadster with a full-scale sport mind from the conscious vehicle.
Although engine power called 272ps is also so, the merit of overall balance also including high chassis rigidity makes it feel so. It seems that the full-scale run is realized because various elements match by high order origin. There, the weight saving of each part including an engine simple substance is also contained. That is, the sport performance is improved by raising a power-weight ratio.
The evolved クワトロ system is also a strong ally. By having accelerated the change process of torque up to one conventional half, torque distribution of rear へ became quick.
Thus, this car is built with the persuasion appropriate for Audi. It has speciality さ not in the stale thing like the sport version which only raised power and hardened the leg but in many portions.
It is whether for Japanese introduction time to be undecided for now, though regrettable, but to be able to worship on the road in Japan in autumn?
