意大利實測 Audi R8 V10 plus 550hp頂級快感
Audi旗下的R8超級跑車已是廠方重點發展項目,未來將會推出的e-tron電動車、以及全球限量333輛的R8 GT Spyder等,都讓R8車系成為焦點。早前廠方為R8進行小改款,同時邀請傳媒往意大利測試,除了R8及Spyder外,最頂級的V10 plus版本亦在場,以它擁有550hp的狂野馬力,無論是賽道或山路,都可以感受到震撼的威力。
賽道試駕推背感猛烈
Audi廠方將R8新車發布會安排在意大利的里米尼(Rimini)舉行,附近一帶更加是多間超級跑車廠的生產地,其中母公司Volkswagen集團旗下的Lamborghini便在博洛尼亞(Bologna)附近,廠方強調這個刻意安排,是讓傳媒全面感受超跑集中地的氣氛。當日,我們到達Misano World Circuit賽車場,場外展出R8及R8 Spyder的4.2及5.2版本,還有最頂級的R8 V10 plus 5.2版本。雖然活動時間只有4小時,但行程非常緊湊。首先,記者在廠方導師的領航車帶領下,在這個長4.064km共11個彎位的賽道,駕駛頂級的V10 plus,並在直路上按要求測試一下0~100km/h的表現,結果輕鬆地在3.5秒內便完成了,而且那份推背感十分強大,非常刺激;另外,廠方亦特別安排落場版本R8 LMS供傳媒試坐。
七前速波箱爆發力強
在今次的試車活動中,廠方不但提供了R8基本車型4.2及5.2版本,喜歡較開揚的更可試駕R8 Spyder,至於最強的版本R8 V10 plus 5.2 FSI quattro自然成為搶手貨,雖然同樣採用5.2公升自然吸氣引擎,但全車多方面經過重新調校,令性能表現更強,可輸出高達550hp的馬力及540Nm的扭力,可在3.5秒內完成0~100km/h
加速。新車另一着眼點是全線R8棄用原有的六前速R Tronic波箱,換上現行在Audi家族廣泛採用的S tronic雙離合器七前速自動波箱,在兩組波箱的快速運作下,換檔動作可在百分之一秒內完成,所以直路起步反應極為敏捷,其後廠方刻意安排連綿山路作為試車路線,最大原因是展現用上主動式電磁懸掛系統(Audi Magnetic Ride)下,車輛在彎路表現的靈巧一面。
