this you know i mean in your minutes in going us. up almost it's not what i'm going to miss you know but i'm with what i'm looking at you know i know but it's at them and. it's as if to say yes it could i would have only said that i caught it i'm not there today finding. oh and welcome to drive by the d.w. motor magazine this week we take the v.w. r t on across a frozen swedish lake. burn up the track with a mclaren six hundred l.t. . and check out the sea had to rocco's climate credentials.

mountains snow air and sunshine we're in the south to roll to test the siac 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. and those off road situations. that make their car test very minor moshi for says that iraq always 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 on the whole i doubt that's any heat at all other than avoiding. our turns to be 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 transmission and a seven speed to a clutch transmission.

yeah emanuel says the 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. for mom the thing. that's better it's morocco twenty degree sunshine and some sand if he can take a closer look. that iraq 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. could go on all space. ok . ok. ok. yeah i guess that you could get mineral notes 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 that to rocco thrive in this kind of environment. but camels have another advantage over cars they don't produce much c o two if he. 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 that to rocco for a. visit s.u.v. has a fairly high ground clearance and a torsion resistant chassis so i 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. for parking and other maneuvers. even if one of the

wheels started spinning on its own the terracotta still delivers solid performance of course most people who buy this issue v. are going to drive it in punishing conditions like this still it's good to know that if you have to you can. emanuel says he has no complaints about the to rocco's chassis 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 good few cars can deliver a completely smooth ride so overall he's impressed with the two rocco if it's because i'm to. time now for san testament first we've got to let a little air out of the tires to maximize the contact area. everything emanuel has brought along an experienced professional driver to help out with the test should

you name your keepers on the street and narrow they have ice skate on evidence i will start the we were go into the drive an affair then 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. you know that they 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 rooms are always very soft and changing my ti vo so we need to be well in advance the ca the me and i need to change. the line of the tenth speed of. the car to any moment that we need. but there are several other potential problems to watch out for. you. and you see that they are going up here like right now. it's it's always

important. to bespeak so we have about one we go up but only when we go down. a source we hear about the coward. i don't know as soon as it was a speed it goes down into the sound of something other that we would not want so it's something talented and i hope. and you think you get to try so see if you feel the same getting i have. noticed this fear it's strange compared to driving on the road it's it's really it's something very very different. but after just a few minutes the man i will got used to driving in sant. a man who says that driving is sand is actually a lot of fun but it can be a little nerve racking when the vehicle starts to float and any case this was an entertaining test drive. and the cia had to rocco passed with flying

colors. it already comes in a hard time now mclaren is presenting a convertible six hundred spider be uncompromisingly stripped down aerodynamically designed 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 i know guys and over says that the l.t. stands for long tail the cars a bit longer which is good for its aerodynamics a fixed rear wing provides 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 than with other. models. wouldn't get past.

a mclaren six hundred could only use the o.t. does it mention when it's been radically redesigned and not just the exterior of the cars one point three ton curb weight makes the six hundred lp 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 fines of final says the carbon received seats are twenty one kilograms lighter than normal once the wind shield is special to 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 right 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 door pockets. and. i know it says the engine is right here to the ends of the tailpipes help to give the mclaren that's my shoulder. 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 is on the race track thanks to launch control the acceleration of the twin turbo v. eight is explosive the six hundred l.t. can hit one. hundred kilometers per hour and 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 years and 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 race 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've come out of this. was my body. 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 it's 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 will be a world is changing constantly one model after the other and with new technology and better sounding names a few cars can hold their place in this environment maybe a decade or two but never longer yet the toyota high lux has been around for half a century to your title. whether it was back in two thousand and seven when a high lux became the first auto to reach the north pole during a volcano eruption on ice with or 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 the toyota high lux has been one of the toughest pick ups in the world through eight generations toyota has managed to sell eighteen million of them worldwide the highlights is known as europe's most popular pick up. does it matter since the eighth generation has been given a facelift at least in the most luxurious version of the truck the executive. to 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 brightest bet of its class

a new floor assembly and reinforced front wall give this truck a big a 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 a high lux executive. the highly. classified high looks as a commercial vehicle even though you have to admit that this pickup truck doesn't drive like a commercial one it's got a car that's really comfortable to drive or is really sharp speedy and precise and handling a pickup is a pickup and it is what it is. but i have.

i'd pick up. the high looks as a two point four leader for so many diesel that pumps out one hundred ten kilowatts of power with maximum torque of four hundred new meters that makes it strong enough to tow three and a half turns. its turn time to take the high looks off road we flip a switch into low range so the trucking get down and dirty. even in really rough terrain the high looks easily moves over major barriers and through extremes. the high lex is 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 with ten times the court declined steep hills. that. says 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 pull really big loads that means a vehicle for tough jobs a utility vehicle and followed so i wouldn't. even i'm not spots. it takes a lot of courage and a reliable vehicle to drive in wintry conditions this is the r.v. in c.r. region in northern sweden walks wagon and other european car manufacturers test their. because here on the frozen lakes today will be putting the b w r t on

through its paces and subfreezing temperatures. b l e d headlights have been billed deep into the grill to give the r.t.m. a sporty look. the vehicle measures four point eighty six by one meter eighty seven with a wheel base of two point eighty four meters. 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. cannot be a spokesman much and who says the main thing that they wanted to do was to call attention to the audience driving dynamics it's equipped with four wheel drive and

the powerful two hundred five kilo want to leader turbo engine that gives the vehicle a lot of traction and good response you'll notice the smoother ride right away and the actual an interaction between car and driver and 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 he 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 one of. my ts 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 this car on ice. my team 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 beat him up and it's like i think. that's part of i. and it can be a lot of fun people who visit the driving experience track can climb behind the wheel themselves and structures are there to help. the speaking but tina says that the most important thing to remember as you drive into a curve is to slow down. and 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. 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. we now take a journey into the past and a technological trendsetter opel olympia this one was built in one thousand nine hundred thirty eight the olympia was a best seller in one thousand. thirty five year 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 oval olympia it's the car of its time in the mid one nine hundred thirty s. that was opals ad slogan for its new mass production model says vintage car expert christophe i might not look very spectacular but under it's a 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 that is what analysts. from the early twentieth century on opel was a hive of innovation in one thousand nine its two seater doctors car used in the fission modular construction system. and in one nine hundred twenty four the four horse power opel nicknamed the tree frog was the first german car to roll off an

assembly line. the olympia made its debut in one nine hundred thirty five at the i a international motor show in berlin a plexiglass 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 and. the interior was eerie featuring as it did opals patented draft prevent aleisha 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 hear hear. but then the monocoque 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 patent in synchronized suspension it makes for great road handling but to begin with opel drivers add the content themselves with just twenty four horse power lines up only starting in one nine hundred thirty eight could they get a one point five liter four cylinder and should 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 it is up with christoph finds the olympians design a little conservative as some places he says you can already see the influence of general motors which bought opel in one thousand nine hundred ninety but at the time the integrated headlights were considered especially innovative before that they were simply mounted right here at the science progresses with 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 in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight when the olympia underwent a facelift opel 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 unit ties 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 leaders of capacity thirty seven horsepower and valves here in the cylinder head and made the olympia the best series production car at the one nine hundred thirty eight german alpine and it served as the basis for all open four cylinder models through to the one nine hundred sixty s. . the. 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 content a less costly model based on the olympia featuring a rigid axle with leaf springs and a one point one leader engine it was opals version of the people's car. to help olympic christo says the opel olympia really was the car of its time as the first mass production car to have them on a cock body have pointed the way towards the future because starting in the one nine hundred fifty s. anybody construction became the standard in modern auto making so chris duff feels the opel olympian definitely was a milestone and automotive history. be olympia certainly lived up to the ad slogan the company began using in the one nine hundred thirty s. ople a reliable production resumed after world war two and opel continued to produce this best selling model until nineteen fifty three.
