patriotic front in. the rebel army and in the one nine hundred ninety four genocide was in the wind a little in orders there wasn't a wink to us given you thought i'll need to reinforce that. i needed this but does that mean he was not floating in a. controversial leader whose success is beyond question. time. and wanted tragedy starts april fifth t w. o n welcome to drive with a d w motor magazine this week we take the v.w. r t r across a frozen swedish wake. burned up the track with a mclaren six hundred l.t. . and check out the city had to rocco's climate credentials.

mountains snow and sunshine were in the south to roll to test the sea act to rocco in winter driving conditions will put the car through its paces as we make our way through the ops to find out how this s.u.v. ambles off road situations. and cartoonish three minor o'shea for says that iraq was fun to drive in snow just set it on off road and you're good to go of course driving on ice is a little tricky but that's true for any car i know that how i doubt that any heat also that according to. our tests me a cool as he quit with the all wheel drive system for drive but you can also choose the front wheel drive model if you don't plan to drive off road or in snow there are also options for a six speed manual to. as mission and

a seven speed dual clutch transmission. emanuel says this sort of winter driving is greet he'd like to stay outside a bit longer for a closer look but it's too cold they'd like to be someplace that's warmer. through on the third and. that's better it's morocco twenty degree sunshine and some sand and he can take a closer look i got to rocco i have that's a rock it was four point seventy three meters long and one point sixty five meters tall that's about the same size as the skoda kodiak and the v.w. to go on all space. ok. ok.

yeah i guess that you can imagine will notice that camels are a popular means of transportation in morocco it's a practical way to get around that camels don't move very quickly and they're not nearly as comfortable as a four wheel drive vehicle. both camels and vehicles like the two rocko thrive in this kind of environment. but camels have another advantage over cars they don't produce much c o two. a man a while points out that there are some paved highways here but you will more likely be driving over gravel and sand or a combination of the two the terracotta was built for driving in those kinds of conditions so he's going to take the tour rocco off road. his s.u.v. has a fairly high ground clearance and a torsion resistant chassis so it can handle these situations but with artistic moves like. this sometimes you lose the overview but there's an optional three

hundred sixty degree camera available for five hundred seventy five euros the camera is really useful for parking and other maneuvers. even if one of the wheels started spinning on its own that to rocco still delivers solid performance of course most people who buy this as u.v. are going to drive it in punishing conditions like this still it's good to know that if you have to you can. in my analyst says he has no complaints about that to rocco's jesse the vehicle seems to be able to smooth out most bumps with nice sure every once in a while you'll get a rough patch but few cars can deliver a completely smooth ride so overall he's impressed with the two rocco if he inspires them to. time now for san testament first we've got to let

a little air out of the tires to maximize the contact area. having a man who was brought along an experienced professional driver to help out with the test should teach you name you'll keep us on the street a narrow they have ice skate on evidence i'm off when i last saw the we were go to the joins drive in the sand and he will tell us what we need to look out for first the important thing is that we have to be in that and i want to get you know that the have a bit more control of the air at separation so any moment that we need to pick up some speed the response of the car it's much more immediate the second thing that we have to put on mind is that. the dunes are always very soft and tenting. so we need to be well in advance this here to be ready to change. the line of the tenth the speed of the about the car for any moment that we need. but there. are several other potential problems to watch out for.

if you see that they are going up here like right now. it's it's always important. so we know about when we go up but only when we go down. a soreness we hear about the car. i don't know that's what i said was a speed it goes down into the sun at something other that we would not want so it's something challenging and i hope. and we thank you that's right so see if you feel safe getting. out of this fear it's strange for it compared to driving on the road it's really something very very different. but after just a few minutes the man i will got used to driving in sand. and minimal says that

driving is sand is actually a lot of fun but it can be a little nerve wracking when the vehicle starts to float and any case this was an entertaining test drive. and missing out to rocco passed with flying colors. it already comes in a hard time now mclaren is presenting a convertible six hundred sponsored be uncompromisingly stripped down aerodynamically design roadster has a four hundred forty one kilowatt three point eight leader v eight under the hood and cerise car was street cred but b.l.t. mark makes this vehicle something special. interest of mine no dice and over says that the l.t. stands for long tail a car's a bit longer which is good for its aerodynamics a fixed rear wing. vides traction for more at

a speed of two hundred fifty kilometers per hour there's one hundred more kilograms of force pressing on to the road then with other models. wouldn't get pissed. i'm a clear and six hundred can only use the o.t. dizzying nation when it's been radically redesigned and not just the exterior of the cars one point three time curve weight makes the six hundred l. one of the lightest vehicles in its class the airflow isn't just channel past the car it's directed right to where the engine needs it for cooling. a new top exit exhaust system contributes to aerodynamics and weight reduction. the roof can be lowered at speeds of up to forty kilometers per hour it disappears into the rear of the car in fifteen seconds.

in signs of final says the carbon recent seats are twenty one kilograms wider than normal once the wind shield is special too it saves one point four kilograms so weight there's no bulky air conditioner or sat nav systems and that helps to reduce weight to try and hold adds that if you need a sat nav to drive on a racing track you're certainly not going to come in first. it's just for you. any element that's not needed for pure performance and precise handling has been stripped away even the glove compartment and or pockets. i know says the engine is right here he adds to the tailpipes help to give the mclaren that's i shall roar and at night if you floor it you can even see flames shooting out into ones about. the best way to test drive this car. our it is

on the racetrack thanks to launch control the acceleration of the to enter bovey eight is explosive the six hundred l.t. can hit one hundred kilometers per hour in just two point nine seconds after eight point four seconds it's blazing along at two hundred kilometers per hour still a ways from its top speed of three hundred twenty four seven speed dual clutch transmission takes over the lightning fast trip up the gears and i don't i know it says that flying around the track in a race car is a blast the mclaren six hundred l t has everything that a raise car needs a brilliant chassis great brakes and an engine sound that's music to a driver's ears that makes it fun to simply shift down and drive on the street you don't even have to go fast says reinhold. i'm still. the was my. let's take one more look at the breathtaking specs including the price in germany

the six hundred l.t. spider sells for two hundred fifty thousand euros and its addition is limited after a year production will be discontinued. this truck is a legend. in the current system much as kharaj says the other immobile world is changing constantly one model after the other with new technology and better sounding names few cars can hold their place in this environment maybe a decade or two but never longer yet that toyota high lux has been around for half a century what does this do to your titles. whether it was back in two thousand and seven when a high lux became the first audio. to reach the north pole during

a volcano eruption on ice with more conquering the south pole in two thousand and ten the high lux is the only vehicle that's spent at both ends of the year. in january two thousand and nineteen i likes one one of the world's toughest races that dakar rally. for more than fifty years they toyota high lugs has been one of the toughest pickups in the world through eight generations toyota has managed to sell eighteen million of them worldwide the high lux is known as europe's most popular pick up. doesn't matter since the eighth generation has been given a facelift at least in the most luxurious version of the truck the executive. the spruce up can be seen most clearly at the front wrap around headlights emphasize the pickups width and integrate seamlessly into the newly designed radiator grille

. at nearly one point sixty five meters the high lux has the broadest bet of its class a new floor assembly and a reinforced front wall give this truck a big edge when it comes to loading and unloading. the interior has stayed pretty much the same and corresponds to earlier standard models . leather seats are part of the standard equipment of the highlights executive. the high looks. classifies the high lux as a commercial vehicle even though you have to admit that this pickup truck doesn't drive like a commercial one it's not a car that's really comfortable to drive or is really sharp speedy. precise in

handling a pick up is a pick up and it is what it is the effect in the link assists in the pick up. the high leg stance a two point four leader for so many diesel that pumps out one hundred ten kilowatts of power with maximum torque of four hundred nude meters that makes it strong enough to tow three and a half times. its journey time to take the high looks off road we flip a switch and a low range so the truck can get down and dirty. even in really rough terrain the high looks easily moves over major barriers and through extremes. the high lex's equipped with high speed gear effective utilization control which determines the availability of high speed gears in real time according to driving conditions so in fifty year for

example it can only be travelling at fifty kilometers per hour what ten times that poor to climb steep hills. that. sense some might ask who needs a vehicle this big but if you have a business and you need to transport stuff that you don't want in the car and you don't want to van there are many alternatives to a pickup so that's a big plus for the high lux and it can go off road and cold really big loads that means a vehicle for a tough jobs or utility vehicle and fall out so i wouldn't. even know it's. there takes a lot of courage and a reliable vehicle. and drive in wintry conditions this is the r.v. n.c.r.

region in northern sweden folks wagon and other european car manufacturers test their vehicles here on the frozen lakes today will be putting the b w r t on through its paces in subfreezing temperatures. b l e d headlights have been build deep into the grill to give the r.t.m. a sporty look. the vehicle measures four point eighty six by one metre eighty seven with a wheel base of two point eighty four metres. the standard equipment includes l.e.d. headlights and taillights daytime running lights keyless access chrome strips on the side windows and seventeen inch alloy wheels with all those features you might consider the a luxury car but it's a lot more than that. as you know either be the spokesman martin who says the

main thing that they wanted to do was to call attention to the r.t. on his driving dynamics it's equipped with four wheel drive and a powerful two hundred five kilowatt to leader turbo engine that gives the vehicle a lot of traction and good response you'll notice the smooth ride right away and the actual an interaction between car and driver father i thought about that because. we brought along a professional driver to help us with our test now will see what this car is really made up but these wintery conditions require some special equipment. like t. has cars says who are using studded tires which provide proper traction while you steer if we didn't we'd have to drive slower and wouldn't get much reaction from the front axle. but had to be. mighty as. knows all about driving under extreme conditions he says seven times

german rally champion he says the four wheel drive and control systems make it easy to drive his car on ice. much he says that rally cars often slide around on the track you often can't steer and the car just sort of tourists. and when you're driving on ice like this it's really helpful to have that sort of experience so that you know what to do. but anybody can learn to drive on ice it's really not that difficult. they could be going up and i think. that's right. and it can be a lot of fun people who visit the driving experience track can climb behind the wheel themselves instructors are there to help.

but tina says that the most important thing to remember as you drive into a curve is to slow down. he checks out the curve visually and then brakes to an appropriate speed once he's put more weight on to the front axle he over steers a little until he's through the curve if then he can start accelerating again and. driving in extreme conditions like this can help you improve your skills so you'll feel comfortable behind the wheel in just about any situation but make sure that you do your test drives in areas that are authorized and supervised. since. we now take a journey into the past and

a technological trendsetter the open olympia this one was built in one thousand nine hundred thirty eight the olympia was a best seller and one nine hundred thirty five the year that the model was introduced and helped all will become the first german manufacturer to produce more than one hundred thousand cars a year and that made opel europe's biggest automaker but the awful olympia it's the car of its time and the mid one nine hundred thirty s. that was opals ad slogan for its new mass production model says vintage car expert chris thought it might not look very spectacular but under its nondescript exterior is a technological milestone the olympia was the first german mass production model to have a unitized body and uni body construction is still the standard in car making today because by the down notes. from the early twentieth century on opel was a hive of innovation in one thousand nine it's two seater doctors car used in the

fission modular construction system. and in one nine hundred twenty four before horse power nick. named that tree frog was the first german car to roll off an assembly line. the olympia made its debut in one nine hundred thirty five f.b.i. a international motor show in berlin a plexiglas model showed off its truss like car body framework the body and the chassis comprised a single unit that was simply mounted onto a pre-assembled drive train that included the engine. be interior was eerie featuring as it did opals patented draft prevent a lation the car was equipped with front and rear vent windows there was plenty of space inside as well.

kristen says the opal olympia really holds the road and can't be beat when it comes to safety here here but the end beam on a cock body gives the olympia a much lower center of gravity than its predecessor a whole fifteen centimeters lower income a nation with the independent wheel suspension at the front and opals patented synchronised suspension and makes for great road handling but they begin with opel drivers add the content themselves with just twenty four horsepower not only starting in one thousand thirty eight could they get a one point five liter four cylinder engine with thirty seven horsepower that gave the car a top speed of one hundred twelve kilometers an hour making it fit for the autobahn . as an example is christophe finds the olympians design a little conservative and some places he says you can already see the influence of general motors which bought opel in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine but at

the time the integrated headlights were considered especially innovative before that they were simply mount. it here cites that what he finds most impractical is the trunk which can only be loaded from the inside making a virtue out of necessary ople claim visit offered protection from dirt at the inclement weather and theft mark good marketing has always been vital to selling cars. to start off with the olympia was available as a two door sedan or a convertible and one nine hundred thirty eight when the olympia underwent a facelift also added a four door sedan to the model range but all versions featured the novel sheet metal unitized body that reduced curb weight by a good one hundred thirty kilos compared with the car's predecessor the olympia's aerodynamic front and flatter under body also reduced drag.

the interior is very purist the corduroy material is robust and the more rigid passenger compartment means greater safety for those on board. if you know that mcchrystal says under the hood is one of the first crumple zones in automotive history the front part of this unitized body deforms in a controlled way there is even a predetermined breaking point in this four shape front profile but there was nothing very new about the engine it was a small four cylinder engine which is one point three leaders of displacement and twenty nine horsepower this one here was only available from one nine hundred thirty eight it was a high performance model with one point five liters of capacity thirty seven horsepower and valves here in the cylinder head and made the olympia the best series production car and the one nine hundred thirty eight german alp lanka and it served as the basis for all open four cylinder models through to the one nine hundred sixty s.

. earlier olympia's had a three speed transmission but starting in one nine hundred thirty seven the model was available with a modern though somewhat notchy four speed gearbox. the previous year opel had introduced the cadet a less costly model based on the olympia featuring a rigid axle with leaf springs in a one point one liter engine it was opals version of the people's car. christo says the opel olympia really was the color of its time as the first mass production car to have a monocoque madi it pointed the way towards the future because starting in the one nine hundred fifty should anybody construction became the standard in modern auto making so christophe feels the opel olympian definitely was a milestone and automotive history. the olympia certainly lived up to the ad slogan the company began using in the one nine hundred thirty s.

ople the reliable production resumed after world war two and opel continued to produce this best selling model until nineteen fifty three. join us again next time for dr.
