Given the high torques are two new Audi TT variants of the permanent all-wheel drive as standard with Quattro. His heart is an electronically controlled and hydraulically operated clutch slats for the benefit of the distribution of weight in the stern sits. These clutch distributes the engine power normally 85 percent on the front axle and 15 percent to the rear axle, in extreme cases can be up to 100 percent on an axis guide.

To effectiveness of the brand strategy includes the consequent reduction of the weight. Both sports cars built very easily - 2 - 2-seater TT coupe brings empty only about 1,370 kilogram on the scales, while two TT roadster with its fabric, there are about 1415 kilograms. The reason for this is the innovative hybrid design of the body, the Audi has developed - in the front area is the construction of aluminum in space-frame construction, in the rear of steel are used. This solution guarantees maximum rigidity and an ideal distribution of the axle loads.

Before we too swarm come, we want to take a look at the weaknesses throw. The interior dimensions move somewhere in the upper middle class. Who is for the four-zone air conditioning decides to have 80 litres of 510 litres of luggage space refrain.

That's it, but also what the first driver noticed negative impressions. Of course provides the newly designed eight-cylinder gasoline engine capacity of 4.6 litres a good job. 280 kW / 380 hp at 6400 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a maximum torque of nearly 500 Newton metres at 4100 rpm speak a clear language , but not loud. The Lexus LS 460 is still the measure of all things in terms of road noise.

More silently go faster and hardly rare. The Lexus LS 460 accelerates in 5.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and can only urge its next at 250 km / h. The consumption for the nearly 2.5-t sedan is expected to average at little more than eleven litres.

The Lexus LS 460 carries each aware of what the electronics in the car today capable. It helps to keep track, while driving, while Dodge, the brakes, and now even parking, which in a car of more than five meters in length, quite interesting can be. Going to a park gap over and lays the reverse gear of 8-step automatic, the system knows whether the vehicle there.

The sensors look to the driver's face. It see is not on the road, is distracted, it is. Is it attentive, waiting for them? The same goes for the bus lane assistants. The reports not only when a line is over, the driver without the indicator set. Does the system, it keeps the car between the lines.

These are just three of many helpers in the background effects when they are not asking about their work with characters, sounds and language to report. Sum of the assistants is certainly impressive.

The question must therefore be allowed to whether its Lexus drivers from the control of the hands. The answer to that question has two parts: First, a legal: The driver is always the responsibility. And secondly an emotional: Perhaps it is precisely at such convenient long haul limousines safer when on long-haul someone with careful. Four eyes see more than just two. The same goes for TV eyes and radar.

Lexus LS 460

After so much theory view of a car and on its properties. The Lexus LS 460 follows in its proportions to that of its 7-BMW with a long snout, elegant recently roof and rear overhang. Its sight from the front is typical Lexus with a big, smiling chrome grill. Its broad shoulders forward, and many carefully designed details give it its distinctive character of restraint and force.

Lexus LS 460

Inside it will be overwhelmed by an abundance of switches and knobs, allegedly intended for the Americans, which is not too much to expect. Many Europeans, however, this diversity as not classify the times, even if they are on long-haul routes out to be entertaining. Nevertheless, we rarely saw a so carefully sophisticated cockpit.

Lexus LS 460

The Lexus LS 460 shows its luxury to the driver and his passengers, but not the outside world. Also, he hides his performance in front of the other. But under its plate is a rounder. It travels almost perfect, whether it is now US soft or would prefer something sporty.

Lexus LS 460

With very brief jolts of the road penetrate to the inside. Otherwise it moves through the traffic, as though you are a part of the perfect video game - always Lord of the situation, and yet with distance from the rough and noisy reality.

Lexus LS 460

Sun recommends the Lexus LS 460 for the old friends that mark, and for those that are not necessarily the other premium brands and drive a good car still call their own.
