a system that can deliver two hundred twenty five kilowatts of power. on a motive suppliers such as magna are also displaying their goods and services in geneva this model assembled by the vietnamese car maker vin fast was developed almost solely by magna the supplier serves almost all major brands worldwide including mercedes jaguar and b.m.w. . in anticipation of the new york international auto show in april the nominations for the world car of the year award were announced in geneva among the competitors are the jaguar i pace the audi each round and the volvo as sixty. where in a turning point i think of the industry and what we're seeing now. one petrol car

one gasoline 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. and now it's off to new york city. the 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 it's on the card testimony live state says the scooters are as family is growing this is the first r s version of his popular and she would be the kodiak ronnie's impressed with the cars to leader by turbo diesel that can deliver one hundred seventy six kilowatts of power and five hundred newton metres of torque he

says the engine is currently the most powerful one that skoda has on offer and now says ronnie we're going to find out just how sporty they kodiak are is really is they stick at as a boat that is the dustmen he had to fit in five models test. the buy turbo charge four cylinder t.d.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 fifty with fueling could go one hundred kilometers around six point four liters 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 our ass to have fall torque early at one thousand seven hundred fifty refs. a wide shiny black radiator grille with my three dimensional appearance gives the s.u.v. an exclusive flair. the wing mirrors window frames and roof rails are glistening black as well. complete l.e.d. headlights are standard to round out the kodiak r.s. is brash look. a crumb dual exhaust gleams from beneath the rear bumper. of the interiors dominated by digital instrumentation and a large centrally placed touch display.

in the sports seat supposed an outcome tire and leather look stylish and hold driver and passengers in place during sharp turns and. ronnie says when 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 something diesel has an unexpectedly throaty growl. but does that's thanks to a sound generator that's been installed in the exhaust system some cars has running have engine sound generators that can only be heard on the inside of the things that's ridiculous if you've got a car that looks sporty its report should be as well ronnie praises skoda saying the kodiak are in sound is right on pitch does something to point to as they did with them about. the kodiak

r.s. also gets top marks for its adaptive suspension steering and dual clutch transmission even when it's operating off road. sport mode the ride is relatively smooth and comfort mode that kodiak cradles his passengers by ironing out every bump in the road. if romney says that the kodiak are as 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 he notes that the only thing missing is a gasoline engine because all the other are as models have one and this car could use a sporty gas power plant running balances that was 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 appeals down the highway.

up to now there skoda kodiak are as has only come with the by turbo diesel drive train we tested near it the r.s. models are really popular the octavia r. is features both diesel 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 key is new proceed is an all new body type. a compact shooting brake as the sporty is member of the new seat family the proof is offered exclusively in g.t. line and. we're testing the top of the line model a one hundred fifty kilo wide g.t. version it comes with numerous red accents like on the grill where there's also

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

meters ninety but still be able to sit comfortably likewise with leg room there is 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 assisted systems include a front collision warning including emergency brake assist with pedestrian detection there's a choice of a manual six speed gearbox or like our test car a seven speed dual clutch gearbox two driving modes are available normal and sport . yeah i know it says of the proceedings mainly a station wagon which means stories 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. with all it's going to. but we don't just want to look we also want to drive the sleek g.t. the one point six liter turbo gasoline engine already puts out its maximum torque of two hundred sixty five newton meters in just one thousand five hundred r.p.m. our version would do a 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 corner. mine was sense 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 making it more fun to drive it takes to curves with 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 a lot of fun. that's got you since the car makes a good overall impression but there's really only one way to test it and lance on the race track luckily for us there's one very close by and barcelona's park more toward a constant reminder welcome to let off steam in the procedure without having to worry about sharing the road and we're in sport mode of course it provides improved throttle response greater excel aeration more direct steering and a growly are sound.

and i don't want says the proceeds g.t. is really funny around the track where you can just floor at all and it makes an appealing noise even though you can tell it's a front 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 the. kind of the some good to see in the us. its handling is also respectable when it comes to other disciplines on the slalom course the shooting break and. 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 breaky it still continues to stick to the classic station wagon the team or seat sports wagon comes with a wider choice of mentions. the amount of sums up by saying the proceed is a really great cars especially in this shooting brake look with a sloping rear life and of course you can also buy it is a wagon and it's a little roomier i but it doesn't look as cool as the shooting brake the only drawback is that the rear window is a bit small but overall he thinks it's something proceed owners are going to live 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 euros.

take one hundred thirty recent cars from his story classics like the audi quatro s one devotes wagons pike's peak racer ad 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 was frozen for forty five years this year third in n. porsche great grandson and namesake of the company founder and chairman vantage point. vinson's greg revived the ice rink even they were surprised by its success.

the event and sometimes a was once a highlight in every racing calendar between one thousand thirty seven and one nine hundred seventy three crowns of spectators mean an annual pilgrimage to the town near zones borg to attend this spectacle it was started by the first ferdinand porsche near his family estate but after a tragic fatal accident during preparations for the one nine hundred seventy four race it was put on ice but now it's back. to. society now is less accepting of having the old school events full for whatever reason you know this whether it's noise whether it helps with their good story the

the local area whether there is 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 you that all the see the the beautiful turnout of cars we havea lot a lot of history and a beautiful little racetrack so it's very important of these events take place. spectators are treated to a unique makes a rally and race cars both historic am honored. among other things mark webber gets to drive a nearly seventy year old porsche three fifty six and it proves to be quite a thrill. multiple lamond winner mondo money pilots today's polo g t r five over the ice cores. and beach buggy show off their talents and less sunny climes.

we had a last ill relationship she and 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 i will drive it a bit more and yeah but i'm learning off the big boys i mean of course i'm only a virgin here i'm very i don't i don't i don't do these ten which is you know this is not my time which i wouldn't i don't mean the side that just tell me about a guy to be. during a break why good news is the time to show off a car that won the race to the clouds and colorado the ivy our electric racing car but not only that pike's peak record holder romandie ma who drives the idea are against 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. for today's the ice rays proves that even classics you 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 gas or. studded tires and racing precision under extreme conditions put them all together and it's quite a comeback for the racers on ice.
