are the jaguar i pace the audi each run and the volvo as sixty. where the turning point i think in the industry and what we're seeing now to electric cars one petrol cars 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 this. and now it's off to new york for. 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. it is funny card testimony let's take says this code as our 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 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 as on offer and now says ronnie we're going to find out just how sporty that kodiak arias really is. as opposed to just dust when he gets a 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 is skoda it's thrifty with fuel and 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 kodiak 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 in a state fall 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 flare. 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 aristeas brash look. across dual exhaust gleams from beneath the rear bumper. of the interior is dominated by. a digital instrumentation and

a large centrally place such display. in the sports seat supposed third in a container and leather look stylish and hold driver and passengers in place during sharp turns. it's called i run he says when skoda introduces our 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. what does that stank to a sound generator that's been installed in the exhaust system some cars is 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 as does something to do. 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 offroad in sport mode the ride is relatively smooth in comfort mode they kodiak cradles his passengers by ironing out every bump in the road. it's fair 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 he notes that 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 ronnie. alan says that we're 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 the skoda kodiak are as has only come with the buy turbo diesel drive train we've tested here at the r s models are really popular the octavio are as features both easel 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 brick as the sporty is member of the 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 wide g.t. version it comes with numerous red accents like on the grill where there's also a g.g. batch. disappointed with whip eighteen inch wheel hubs brake calipers and door sills of a four point sixty one metre long vehicle are also highlighted in the color. but the best side of the proceeds is the rear which combines sleek design with racing elements. guard. mystery man washee 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 like weis with leg room there's no problem. that cittie is also very sporty on the inside and features paddles on the steering wheel. the seats are contoured and have read stitching as does the trim on the steering wheel. the assistant 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 artis 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 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 fashioning solutions here he says he is done it's homework he was always 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 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 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 blag 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 the since the car makes a good overall impression but there's really only one way to test the manse on the race track luckily for us there's one very close by at barcelona's park more toward a constant reminder welcome to let off steam and the proceeds g.t. 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 aggressively are sound. but with a minor one 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 safer. 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. it's. kind of the some good to say unless. its handling is also respectable when it comes to other disciplines on the slalom 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 breaky it still continues to stick to the classic station wagon the team received sports wagon comes with a wider choice of anschutz. the amount of sums up by saying the proceed is a really great cars especially in this shooting brake look with a sloping rear light and of course you can also buy it is a wagon and it's a little roomier high 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 hit 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 u.s. . take one hundred thirty recent cars from his story classics like the audi quatro s one devotes wagons pie. speak racer add big names in motor sports such as vulgar word hans joachim stoke and mark webber and put it open together in the winter panorama of the austrian alps what you get is a mini summit a motor sport that g.p. ice race. but the event one is frozen for forty five years this year thirty nine porsche great grandson and namesake of the company founder and german vintage porsche dealer vinson's gregg revived the ice

race even they were surprised by its success. the event in salem say 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 action during preparations for the one nine hundred seventy four race it was put on ice but now it's back. to. society now he's less accepting of having the old school events full for

whatever reason you know this whether it's noise whether it helps with their hoods sorry 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 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 these events take place. spectators are true. added to a unique mix of rally and reese cars both historic and modern. 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. when her. pilots today's polo g r five over the ice cores. and beach buggy show off their

talents and less sunny climes. we had a last ill relationship she says 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 on the very i don't i don't i don't do these ten which is you know this is not much much i want it i know i mean the sound of this tell me about a guy to be. during a break most wagon uses the time to show off a car that won the race to the clouds and colorado the idea our 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 and germany's nerve bergrin he'll attempt to set

a record over the green help and to tackle that challenge the i.d.r. 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 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 and shits 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 time on driving test the city had to rocco on snow and sand. and take a closer look at the tell you in a high looks opera. a
