Car BMW release in the performance of M - as a ticket to the big leagues. Not so long ago, those "legionnaire" and became the BMW 6 Gran Coupe: the company he graduated dedication lineup of six families in the M-League. AvtoVestyam able to quickly touch on the track to a beautiful Moscow Raceway.

Crouching, M6 Gran Coupe like a predator grin on my face unusual front bumper with huge vozduhopoglotitelyami, Buravov eyes Adaptive LED headlights. Find out the animal from the M-pack of simple and other signs: branded "gills" in the front wings, typical brilliant "shotgun" exhaust sticking out from under the rear bumper with carbon diffuser, plus a healthy 20-inch wheels, practically bursting already extended wheel arches.

Talking about the M6 ​​Gran Coupe, BMW representatives if fed chocolates. "Yummy" for details! Roof - carbon-fiber with a unique embossings. It looks beautiful and expensive, but also because of its own weight of such a small roof lowers the center of gravity. Luxury, but in the case. And not to spoil the perfection of the aerodynamics of the front bumper, on the contrary, fierce deleted radar adaptive cruise control. Inside, too, all in a rich man: more developed M-embossed front seats with a bunch of options in Merino leather seat and door trim, and everything else is tightened in Alcantara, including the door pillars and ceiling with leather. So as not to bore the reader, the number of electronic devices and transfer multimedia bells and whistles will not, I will say briefly: there is almost everything you are tired to scroll the list of options and basic equipment!

If ordinary BMW 6 Gran Coupe in the basic equipment includes only the 18-inch wheels, then the version of the M6 ​​in the database is the 20th "rollers" with an unusual double-spoke design. Of the remaining differences - more textured wings and front bumper with enlarged vozduhopoglotitelyami.

But one piece in the M version I like particularly. It came from the world of aviation data projector on the windscreen, which may show the rate of "flight," and, for example, engine speed, gear number, as well as "prompt" shift points. You see it in front of him - and in his mind almost immediately line Wysocki: I - M-fighter engine my rings, the line - my abode ... M6 Gran Coupe and the truth is not created to drive, it was created to fly. And in a low-flying fighter km it turns the 4.4-liter V8 with 2 turbines of type twin-scroll, which are "blown out" of the engine 560 horsepower. Torque - 680 Nm, but is impressive not only that, but also that the avalanche spreads on the broad thrust "plain" from 1500 right up to 5750 rev / min. And if in the usual BMW 6 Gran Coupe is a traditional 8-speed automatic transmission, in the bowels of the M6 ​​is already 7-step "robot" DCT with 2 clutch and function of Launch Control.

In the end, weighing nearly two tons of M-shell shoots up to 100 km / h in just 4.2 seconds (the flagship 450-hp BMW 6 Gran Coupe 650i xDrive - in 4.5 sec). It would seem that the difference in the dynamics of just 0.3 seconds and maximum speed of both vehicles is limited to 250 km / h. But the version of the M6 ​​in the supplies is "accelerating" optional M Driver's Package for 138 000 rubles, when the ceiling speed rises to 305 km / h! By the way, the package includes the training of school BMWs. Just move the car to the club of those "who are over 300" Immediately after purchase will not work: the machine must first run over not least 2,000 km and pass break-TR.

And in the arsenal of the M6 ​​recalibrated and down adjustable suspension with forged aluminum arms, active inter-wheel differential with variable degrees of lock, power steering with variable-effort, doroguschie optional carbon-Earthenware brakes ... That's enough teasing, let the wheel! But first we have to get ready.

Body of fourth generation Toyota RAV 4 is made of a lightweight steel grades, which made it possible to reduce the weight of the car. In addition, the exterior design used several technological solutions to improve the distribution of air flow, greatly reducing the drag coefficient. The chuck is made in a new style with narrow headlights and bumper of a two-component complex terrain. At the rear, finally, there was a modern door, opening up, and not in the side, as before. Also note the stylish lights of unusual shapes and neat little bumper. Dimensions crossover grew slightly (except for height) 4570h1845h1670 mm, the wheelbase remains the same - 2660 mm. Inside the crossover of the fourth-generation Toyota RAV4 also changed for the better. Range of higher-quality materials and finishes borrowed from the Camry and have several versions of the buyer's choice. 

The front panel has a much more elegant, has acquired a "space" and even futuristic elements that enhance the overall ergonomics. The center console has become massive, and the rudder gained additional functionality. As for space, it became a little more, but still in this component of the competitors look more attractive. New rear seat folds flat learned to 60:40, increasing luggage capacity to 2,075 liters with the base 1087. If we talk about the technical characteristics, the Russian Toyota RAV4 New productive offered with two petrol engines and one powerful diesel power unit. A very wide range of gear boxes and that includes all the possible options: a 6-step "mechanics", 6-step "automatic" and ultra stepless CVT Multidrive S, which for the first time and will be available for configuration with front wheel drive. 

Let's go back to the motors for the new Toyota RAV 4. Youngest among the petrol engines now would be a two-liter engine having four cylinders, each of which has four valves DOHC. Timing mechanism is chain driven camshafts and two VVT-i. Capacity of the power unit reaches 146 hp or 107 kW at 6200 rev / min. Peak torque is necessary to mark 187 Nm at 3600 r / min, which makes it easy to overclock the crossover from 0 to 100 km / h in just 10.2 seconds. As for the top speed of the car with the engine under the hood, it is 180 km / h, regardless of the type of transmission installed. By the way, aggregated "dvuhlitrovka" with the "mechanics" and CVT, and available front-wheel and all-wheel drive crossover variation. 

The fuel manufacturer recommends the use of gasoline AI-95, and the motor efficiency is consistent with modern requirements: in the urban order of 10 liters per 100 km on the highway - 6.5 liters, and mixed-mode drive consumption of 8 liters smoothly. The second petrol engine for the Toyota RAV4 IV-generation four-cylinder engine is also a displacement of 2.5 liters. As a junior engine, the flagship is equipped with 16-valve DOHC system and two cam VVT-i with a chain drive. The maximum power of the engine reaches 180 hp or 132 kW at 6000 rev / min. Peak torque is increased to the level of 233 Nm at 4100 rpm / min, which also allows you to reach 180 km / h top speed and 9.4 seconds to lift an arrow from 0 to the first 100 km / h on the speedometer. PPC is constrained by, this power unit is equipped with only the "automatic", followed by the all-wheel drive. As for the economy, in this case, the average flow rate is slightly increased: 11.4 liters in the city, 6.8 liters on the highway and 8.5 liters in a mixed mode of transportation. The only four-cylinder D-4D diesel engine has a displacement of 2.2 liters and has 150 hp (110 kW) maximum output, which is developed at 3600 rpm / min. Like the petrol units, this engine is equipped with a 16-valve DOHC type system and two cam VVT-i, driven chain-driven belt. 

Performance of diesel is very high, because the peak torque is achieved at 2000 - 2800 rev / minute and up to 340 Nm, which guarantees the crossover to accelerate to the maximum of 185 km / h, with the dynamics of a very decent overclocking: from 0 to 100 km / h new Toyota RAF 4 accelerates in only 10 seconds. As the flagship of gasoline, diesel only comes with an automatic transmission only and is complemented by all-wheel drive. Diesel is very efficient: the average fuel consumption in the combined mode of driving should be about 6.5 liters, though in this case the data on consumption in urban and on-road manufacturer has not yet published.
