i'm to need my country to its finest hours. until the day i nearly vanished. the task july 18th on d w. the man. one more time the carry off, the cupra is on a mission to put the funds back into cross safe is with the new full mental can they succeed. performing to was cooper, us 1st exclusive model. so the separation of the brand from sales. and now it has

gotten an update, and we'll check that out right now. welcome to rent. before we go any further, let's take a quick look at the history of the q prep brand known to being a peppy, a good foster alternative to say that the name cooper is a poor man. so of come and racing a no to the brands. much school heritage. in fact, the cooper name was 1st used to commemorate set success in the 1996 to lead to weld riley the 1st call to receive the cooper a badge was the se outside visa cooper. have she? if ever that was one. cooper student established itself as an elite motor sports inspired brands. the updated form and tool site lights on this full. cna is its latest offering form and tours available with a bunch of different dr. drains, there are gasoline, diesel,

and also plug in hybrid versions and also depending on whether you want the manual on automatic transmission, just how much money does it have that power all put the ranges from 150 to 333 horsepower and we're testing the more powerful plug in hybrid version that delivers to 172 horsepower. would that the call will make the stand that sprint from 0 to a 100 kilometers an hour and a little more than 7 seconds. and the top speed is 220 kilometers in our numbers that could stem from cooper. this formula, a connection was even more interesting. the plug in hybrid version has a 19.5 kilowatt hour battery, but uh, net numbers. and with that you will achieve an electric range offer on the 100 kilometers according to w, l d, p. and that is quite good because usually on to now most to plug in

a hybrid cost. whatever, on 6065 kilometers of purely electric range and slowly these plug in hybrids are getting better. and so the farm and tours one of the 1st to feature 100 kilometers of purely electric range, which is really good. what's it like behind the wheels? there are driving impression and the new for mentor is really good, quite sporty, as you would expect from the outside look of the car spot. of course, it's still somewhat of the cv and you feel that it has the tendency to lead into curse. but it's still fee, it's say the costs change between different dr modes and then the difference in that is noticeable. but it's never to explore the so the engineers kept an eye on the

comfort in the form and taught to keep it as an appropriate level that way it's not s 40 s, for example, early on can be the cooper games and never is going thompson over on top of the either 100 kilometers of few will, of course you will then have consumption with the battery. so electric energy. but once the battery is empty or needs to be charged, the car will use 5 and a of 6 meters. for one of us can nominate us, at least that's what cooper claims. right now, all batteries, not yet m d, n, we have escalade poverty to off fuel consumption and 20 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers the. let's talk about charging because the new for mentor can be charged with up to 50 kilowatts,

which is quite good for a plug in hybrid. and that means going from 10 to 80 percent takes 26 minutes. so in theory, even if you do long distance trip with the for mentor, you can charge it while you're taking a break and then use the electric energy to get to the top of either of average consumption, which is quite good. usually with plug in hybrids, you have the problem that they take very long to charge. although if you've got a heavy foot so you can't rely only on battery power, the combined acceleration of the one of the meter engine with 170 all is paola and the electric engine is quite good. as i mentioned, it takes a little more than 7 seconds fee. it's quite good. but if you press the gas paddle too hard and the electric engine can handle, then the gasoline engine will have to take all the most of the

work which resides and it's being quite loud. but you have to admit, though it will do its job and accelerate the car. the foam and toes new show nose design, gives it a distinct mocking a departure from its se rates. the front end is as cooper as it gets. the culprit turned 18 and 19 inch on the way wheels help keep it like a nimble the interior of the form and door looks really good. ask with hall most any other cooper, amada, especially the steering wheel. i am always a huge fan of that. and i can even stress this enough with these buttons, the left side, the cooper logo to switch between the dr most and the right side. the start stop button. just like with a race car. maybe it's

a know to multiple well touring cars champion, yvonne miller, who's raised many qu press to victory. kind of the new, full mentors, know, race call. it's got to nicely, we've jumped interior. the main differences are in the middle. you will have a $12.00 inch infotainment display which has all the usual functions and what also apple carplay, radio and navigation and so on and so on. you can also check the battery state and charging with the hybrid version of course. and what's really, really good, the adjustment of the temperature and volume on now illuminated so you can easily find that one in stock. it should take a seat in the back. the space is also quite good. you still have some like room left and that despite the fact that the seat has gotten a little bit to the rear, which it does when you stopped the car to help getting in and out. so if it would

be sitting right there, then it would be even more leg room. and the head room is absolutely okay as well, even though you have the glass roof that is closed right now. the new full mentors need re features coast to coast tail lights with an illuminated to print logo in the middle, making it impossible to miss like anything else. the author, it's launch in 2020 the form and to it quickly became the most successful model. busy the crew for our brand in germany alone, they sold more than $80000.00 units up until now. and of course, even more in the other markets. and that is quite impressive. but not everything meets all testers exacting standards. as you might be able to see in my face,

those are reflections from the temperature and the volume adjustment layers right below the touch screen, which makes them not only on, practically, but even somewhat disturbing depending on where the sun is. very nice the performance or does have all. busy features sports seats. well we have right here of the comp seats for the v that versions cell. this board is off the sporty looking cars. the v that is available either as we have as a plugin hybrid, whether it's $272.00 horsepower or in the top version with just a gasoline engine and $333.00 horsepower once and most just full file. she'll send them the top 10 variant comes with took split to technology as well as optional.

echo no breaks. and then across a bit shaken school system. to sum up my for mentor experience, i have to say i really liked the call. i also liked the predecessor, but now it looks even more cooper a to me and i really like for the design that stick to it. the drive train is absolutely okay, a plug in the hybrids is always good if you use it purely electric for you every day, way to work. and then of course you can use it for long distance trips, banks to it's gasoline engine. so it features the best of both worlds. the only thing is a starting price of just on the $40000.00 euros is not exactly for everyone, even though you get a lot of car pulling in old and you to for a full mental plug in, hybrids looks the pump has good purely electric range. and can be charged for but

the quality of the touch screen operation and the highly reflective interior surfaces do need to be resource if it's to school, close it to test it out. but the cars are big level phenomenon with millions of unique stories that could be in a german coffin. we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here flick, passion is our motto. and your stories, our currency. my area. we have found cars from germany and the craziest place all across to this one here is all dictated from albania, that officially never exist. grad once,

just sorry. and we try to figure out why we feel such a strong, emotional, only with ease machine. just story 2 ideas and cost by itself and millions and millions of news that counts. and most of all the fact that makes us better. this video as me as all day as my buckets. yep. that's due. all saying is love is so cool to watch. keep going. well, thank you for the question is now flash. if we go next, right to wherever you are sensitive stories and your crazy car into the let's catch up soon. sunroof the with a new concept called change. everything opened as one of your slots as

a comm acres, and among the oldest common adventures in the world, one more time, all of its models also produce and then a very and ultimate loss is for 19 years. but recently it began turning a profit again, it has manufacturing sides in several european countries. and 15000 employees in germany alone. can opal make attempts to imagine to 100 percent be comp for 0. so let's check it out. i'm at also headquarters in the upfront for more than 8000 people works here, beginning in 2024. the company plans to manufacture all of its models and it bets are you electric variance. and i'm even allowed to find my hand on the assembly line it's hotter than you might think. so what does it mean for the workers who have to assemble the open as dry as a hybrid, a combustion model? and so battery electric version, depending on what happens to be up next. the next thing with the

model here on the line, the electric motor arrives almost fully assembled and it, while we do most of the assembly of the combustion engines. so the process is different, but it also gives us more variety in our where i go by the whole po, begin turning a profit again in 2018. that's also because they, i know a subsidiary of still ounces and can benefit from using images. a visit to the companies, museum collections from all this hand for you, all pool kept nearly every part of the manufacturing process from the in its own hands, including research and experiments like this res call with rocket propulsion from 99 to 28. then they're all best sellers, like there's 2000000 open copy teen with real gold plated trim. and the doctor's com. so can we go for a spin and that's about to show you what the full, the doctors call for months. yeah, i would really like to see that you can crank it up if you want. okay,

let's try but it has to be done by hand. one more time. the carry off the name of the car came about because around 1909, it was popular with the doctors who drove it to pay house calls to their patients. either top speed is between 50 and 650. let me doesn't. our bed was quite fast. for 1900 and not the opal 2 carried out many experiments with electric vehicles like this twin concept called dating from 1992. it has to propulsion modules. one of those electric the out though is a combustion engine, which can be attached to the re off the car, depending on what's needed. but

e cars didn't really take off back them. that's changed. they're charging stations now and a proper e commerce market. doc jo open sold some $90000.00 electric vehicles, all pets restructuring, also man producing it's about phones and becoming a subsidiary of lantus, which also includes the brand, see it, and people, it's the roles. 4th latches, automatic co, with 14 brands and it's 9 up. and now the c o is planning to switch production internally to e cause which will run on green energy will leave you with the, with the industry and achieve carbone nets 0 by 2038. we pay a visit to another open factory and i as enough german to support the e mobility switch to launches, sense to invest in the planned and all the brands that you own off of 50000000000

euros over the next decade. the purposes of costs for creates synergies that can be used between the brands while at the same time, giving all the possibilities to the brands to make it cost got. so it's what they want to do with the old books. it's caused on these cuts in and then each model gets its own design. this plant is already using done salons, is a partner and drawn centers, including 2 batteries, factories, one in france, and another, and prepare ration in germany, which will one day supply batteries to $1200000.00 e cars a year. we share battery technology technology we, we share certain structural elements, but then it is very important that we convey to our customers. the tradition is jim and driving values which means robots are driving our position a robust road holding direct steering. and all of this is possible to create while

still maintaining. so for some years now, all poll has overt veteran t for repair and replacement of everything. batteries and that electric vehicles use batteries are returned to dispatch where you refurbishments center, where they are, we pad and return. so do all post designers still have room for input? i'm meeting with outputs, chief design of florian ties. nice to meet you. we are kind of in the most secret area of the old poll. why do i have to work secretly here? yeah, so welcome from i. so that, 1st of all, um, well, it's obviously what we're doing here is for the next 10 up to 15 years from now. i really don't want to show the rest of the woods, everything we're doing. so it needs to stay kind of secret. but let's be able to show you in a 2nd. we've got concept costs that show a bit of a knowledgeable where we want to go this if you want. as

the concept car has the signature sound in id or they are planning to incorporate into new models recorded, painted with lights, you can create your own whole look and feel adjusted with the lights. the vx piri mental concept cars are 1st made out of modeling material. i'm going to try my hand on shaping defender change the can just try and try. okay. all right, that's why you all look. so if you can stop, so you can start is i'm going to give you,

i destroyed and on. and these are the 1st models inspired by the concept because vs u. v. grant. and indeed, by 2028 all plants we have gum full electric funding for this, which has already been secured. that's one of the benefits of being is to non to subsidy or if one of the volts most profitable come make us this asked right. electric is listed for $42000.00 bureaus. no, it's up to the customers to decide whether to get on board the . you're right in a d i y who claim racer from bosnia herzegovina. well, a young kid with veteran and his oh, to a customized vw. jetta, it's like a child to me. a family member who is veteran is an item that

will racing driver with a preference 1st, hilly terrain. time to get an up close and personal list. got his jetta. are you ready the the distinctively bump you right for our interested report, sir? is the result of some of meticulous work we visit veteran at his workshop into his let in northeastern voice mail. the, the car mechanic spent 3 years tinkering away on his pride and joy. it's like a child to make a family member drop. the veteran has plenty of other cars to work on, but his true passion i'm calling is for

d. w base to racing cars. his jetta is above me and he'll get real kit with all manner of extra features. it comes with 4 injectors for the exhaust is for and to one. this is the stage and these original camshaft legacy some the got you. okay, so the also on board is a fire extinguishing system safety 1st be specially and motor sports drivers. if there's a fire it activates and puts out the flames. well, there are also 4 more nozzles inside the car alongside the electrical system. and that's the safety system. veterans love of fast cars began when he was just allowed. his father was a successful racing driver. and what was then you just love us. but his undying love for vw came a bite because of a different model. so when he,

when i've loved the gulf, mark one since i was a kid, friend of mine had won a g t i d w. so that's one of the loved again. i liked the design, which i decided that when i grew up, i buy myself a gulf mark one and make my own racing car and they come in to this day. it's remains the same as rush through raptor style and this jetta has great visibility. the building kind of plus it has the features that make it easy to turn into a race car like a veteran bought his prize jetta in sarajevo and hasn't looked back since it's only regret is this for lack of development in recent years. but i need it, but it's not that big of seen, but we do have the occasional meet right to you and i talked to gina. so to them, the situation with sponsors isn't great. the problem is the problem is

a decreasing interest in racing. its popularity is limited. our people prefer watching soccer or basketball. we're not associated with that. we might of course watch it by the need for a speed test drive type, which means taking veterans jetta back out onto the track on an old air field. the newly made the the system more upfront, the driving conditions as ever, as the sun goes down the, the most racist we do the start, isn't that important that, you know, as it's mostly appeal at 1st it's good. can i just have it?

you know that you sort of start as really good, intense, it'd be a bit, you know, week or 2 to be put on the straights you make up the time you lost at the start lobby. oh yeah. so it's not that crucial release is going to live in a very specific as for the jetta performance, the the car is what it means. the track is terrible. the surfaces no good. but we've been able to do a few labs to show you the car and that magic feeling ultimately the object to defies the terrain, to deliver the magic. and veteran is proud of his sip top little racer. i'll try to get a gray car produced out of love and that's what matters. so you do that is i chose the jet, it'd be is we couldn't find a better basis than the gulf mark one. see?

i looked at just that we're glad to have our super jetta, which we've really grown to love to low, based on the and more automotive tales next time on or as the

healthy on the coast of to boost researches from switzerland one to find out with us official intelligence, they scanned the quarterly release off the coast and prices today, so invalid barge range. the result of a 3 d model for 36th street tomorrow today. in 30 minutes on d. w. don't sing despite a,

a 16 year old denny know, aspires to become a stop to live his dream. he sees his native ukraine to germany. can you just keep on dogs? an international body competition puts his skills to the test in 75 minutes on d, w. the crises every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world now on youtube was

fine. oh hi. i might just do it and i'm hosting dw new pod costs. things straightened out because it's actually about join us as we travel around your at tracing the who, the history of every day. ok. and that bumpy. ride around the world. kind of close to taking the juicy of stories with a little mystery of drama along the way. but and i need to talk to by just sit subscriber id, listen to podcast and will take you along to the right. what is it that i have the

the to since you got the news life from balance to arrive in the far calls to abandon his re election, campaigns are nowhere. it comes as barton faces, drawing pressure from democratic lawmakers to drop out of the presidential frame. also coming up a magic ends to the manslaughter trial against extra alec baldwin. the judge dismissed as the case saying, police with has evidence the .
