patrol car one guess thing that will disappear into the future so it's a good sort of it's a turning point and we really we're very excited about it. and now it's up to new york. that kodiak has been a hit for skoda two hundred seventy seven thousand of them have been sold in the two years it's been on the market but this time we're not looking at the standard kodiak i perform it's r s. did it has won the contest of money let's take says the scooters are as family is growing this is the first r s version of his popular and should be the kodiak ronnie's impressed with the cars two leader by turbo diesel that can deliver one hundred seventy six kilowatts of power and five hundred new to me. of torque he

says the engine is currently the most powerful one that skoda as on offer and now says ronnie we're going to find out just how sporty the kodiak r.s. really is a stick at as a boat that is does that mean he has a fifty five models test. the buy turbo charge four cylinder t.v. i packs quite a bit of and can push the kodiak from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour and six point nine seconds nevertheless cisco to its thrifty with fueling could go one hundred kilometers around six point four leaders of diesel and germany the new are as prices start at almost fifty thousand euros. sidecar ronnie says the cardiacs force comes mainly from the buy turbo engine the first turbo is designed to deliver power dynamically at low revs the second produces optimum manifold pressure when the engine is running high ronnie explains

that makes it possible for the kodiak are asked to had full torque early at one thousand seven hundred fifty refs. a wide shiny black radiator grille with a three dimensional appearance gives the s.u.v. an exclusive flair. for. the wing mirrors window frames and roof rails or glistening black as well. complete l.e.d. headlights are standard around out the kodiak are as is brash look. a crumb dual exhaust gleams from beneath the rear bumper. of the interior is dominated by digital instrumentation and a large centrally placed touch display.

in the sports scene supposed in a container and leather look stylish and hold driver and passengers in place during sharp turns. been schooled by ronnie since one skoda introduces are as model it's got this sound as well as what the part and the latest kodiak does just that he knows that the diesel has an unexpectedly throaty growl. but does that stank to his sound generator that's been installed in the exhaust system some cars his running have engine sound generators that can only be heard on the inside he thinks that's ridiculous if you've got a car that looks sporty it's rort should be as well ronny praises skoda saying the kodiak are in sound is right on pitch. on the meter quintic as they say what about . the kodiak r.s.

also gets top marks for its adaptive suspension steering and dual clutch transmission even when it's operating offroad in sport mode the ride is relatively smooth and comfort mode that kodiak cradles his passengers by ironing out every bump in the road. it's for the army says that the kodiak car and this is a true car for all seasons and surfaces driving can be fun and sporty while long trips are comfortable and above all easy on fuel you know it's not the only thing missing is a gasoline engine because all the other are as models have wanted and this car could use a sporty gas power plant running balances that were saying that the diesel really packs a punch and makes the kodiak a really different car it's not the one that trundles off to take the kids to school but one that. eels down the highway.

up to now they go to kodiak our asses only come with the buy turbo diesel drive train we've tested here if the r.s. models are really popular the octavio are as features both these oil and gasoline models so it should only be a matter of time before the kodiak are as follows. don't let the familiar sounding name fool you hear this new procedure is an all new body type. a compact shooting brake as the sporty is member of a new seat family the proceed is offered exclusively in g.t. line and. we're testing the top of the line model a one hundred fifty kilo one g.t. version it comes with numerous red accents like on the grill where there's also

a g.t. batch. the spring would whip eighteen inch wheel hubs brake calipers and door sills of a four point sixty one meter long vehicle are also highlighted in the color. but the best side of the proceeds is the rear which combines sleep design with racing elements. guard tends to remain washy for says shooting brake always means that the roof line drops off in the rear add that can sometimes mean there isn't much headroom left but that isn't so what. you can be tall one meters eighty five one meters ninety

but still be able to sit comfortably likewise with leg room there's no problem. the g.t. is also very sporty on the inside and features paddles on the steering wheel. the seats are contoured and have red stitching as does the trim on the steering wheel. the assistance systems include a front collision warning including emergency brake assist with pedestrian detection there is a choice of a manual six speed gearbox or like our test car a seven speed dual clutch gearbox to driving modes are available normal and sport. in my no one says of the proceedings mainly a station wagon which means story spaces so i'll take

a look there's just over six hundred leaders here and that can be expanded to more than one thousand five hundred leaders that's a lot of space but here there are also intelligent fastening solutions here he says key is done it's homework he was always going to. but we don't just want to look we also want to drive a sleek g.t. the one point six leader turbo gasoline engine already puts out its maximum torque of two hundred sixty five minute meters in just one thousand five hundred r.p.m. our version with dual clutch transmission accelerates from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour and seven point five seconds the sports suspension gives a strong road feel and allows agile cornering. thus the money was sent as far as adding is concerned the proceed cuts a fine figure here in the countryside or on winding mountain roads and then when

you're driving in sports mode there's a little more sound coming from the exhaust and making it more fun to drive it takes to curves with ease the dual clutch transmission shifts quickly and above all precisely there's only one but a noticeable turbo bag below one thousand eight hundred r.p.m. that makes it a bit sluggish but above that it's full steam ahead and owe a lot of fun. that got you since the car makes a good overall impression but there's really only one way to test the maps on the race track luckily for us there's one very close by that barcelona's park more toward a constant reminder welcome to let off steam and the pro scene chichi without having to worry about sharing the road and we're in sport mode of course it provides improved throttle response greater acceleration more direct steering and a growly or sound.

it was given to us says the proceeds g.t. is really funny around the track where you can just floor at all and it makes in the peeling noise even though you can tell it saved. on wheel drive car it handles relatively well now and then the rear wanders a little but it's relatively easy to compensate so considering that it's basically a station wagon with sporting ambitions it puts on a respectable show. it's. kind of the some good. it's have aling is also respectable when it comes to other disciplines on this lol of course the shooting brake has no trouble winding around the cones. and wet roads are no problem either the proceeds g.t.

remains easy to control even while braking and comes to a safe stop quickly. but alongside the sportiness of the proceeds g.t. shooting break ke it still continues to stick to the classic station wagon the team or cede sports wagon comes with a wider choice of anschutz. i was reminded of sums up by saying the proceed is a really great car especially in this shooting brake look with a sloping rear light and of course you can also buy it as a wagon and it's a little roomier i but it doesn't look as cool as the shooting brick the only drawback is that the rear window is a bit small but overall he thinks it's something to proceed owners going to it with that's coming up something about. the shooting brake is already available in germany and the more reasonably priced g.t. line for under twenty eight thousand us.

take one hundred thirty recent cars from his story classics like the audi quatro s. one devotes wagons play. peak research and big names in motor sports such as wagner were hans joachim stoke and mark webber and put it all together in the winter panorama of the austrian alps what you get is a mini summit of motor sport that g.p. ice race. but the event one is frozen for forty five years this year thirteen and porsche great grandson and namesake of the company founder and german vintage porsche dealer vinson's greg revived the ice race even they were surprised by its success.

the local area whether there's a bit of risk involved so that's why these events are really cool you know when it goes back to the roots it shows that obviously the the beautiful turnout of cars we havea lot a lot of history and a beautiful little racetrack so it's very important these events take place. spectators are untrue. a unique mix of rally and race cars both historic and modern . among other things mark webber gets to drive a nearly seventy year old porsche three fifty six and it proved to be quite a thrill. multiple a mom went to oman to mop pilots today's polo g t r five a over the ice course. and beach buggy show off their talents and less sunny climes.

we had a loss elr relationship she she looked up to me and i looked up to her so it was good fun like a little bit of drifting going on but a sideways action and that was really cool so yeah so i will drive it a bit more and yeah but i'm learning off the big boys i mean of course on many a village and here i'm very i don't i don't i don't do these ten which is you know this is not much i much i wanted i know i mean the sound of this tell me about a it's got to be. during a break folks wagon uses the time to show off a car that won the race to the clouds in colorado. are electric racing car but not only that pike's peak record holder room on dumas who drives the i.d.r. gets another important mission he has to show the i.d.r. his mettle on the most demanding racetrack in the world the nordschleife at germany's near bergrin hill attempt to set a record over the green help and to tackle that challenge the idea has been extensively revised above all the aerodynamics of the electric race car need to be

altered to match the significantly different conditions of the nordschleife and. for two days the ice race proves that even classic she wouldn't expect to see on the ice still have what it takes and for spectators there's the chance to drive on the track. despite the frigid temperatures ice and cold the race warms the blood from the around eight thousand spectators revving engines the smell of gasoline studded tires and racing precision under extreme conditions put them all together and it's quite a comeback for the races on ice. next
