5:36 am
reflect the environment in different ways and ensure the harmonious appearance of the vehicle. in the hatchback the massive c. pillar that leads into the flattened rear is what catches the eye yeah that's the guy i know as a fan of the design and proportions of the mazda three he says the other vehicles in the segment like the audi a three and a v.w. golf just can't keep up i. must also knows how to design a classy interior forward visibility has been improved by optimizing the eight pillars shape inside most buttons have been done away with and overall the new must a looks very tightly the japanese maker aims to bring a sense of calm to the vehicle through the use of lines the driver is meant to be the center of attention. best design and it's nice to model a says the design isn't just really great outside but also insight here with these
5:37 am
curved lines everything is geared towards the driver and the quality of the work is really very high that when you sit here and you feel right at home that's probably how he'd best describe it which is what i'm best at doesn't sell that's in keeping with mosque his design philosophy. or driver and car as one he thinks this is absolutely true on the must have three fluid too often what's. the must of three is also technologically quite advanced we're testing it with the eighty five kilowatt four cylinder one point eight leaders sky active d. engine with a six speed manual transmission that accelerates from a zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in ten point three seconds top speed is one hundred ninety four kilometers per hour mostyn claims fuel consumption of just four point two leaders of diesel per one hundred kilometers our test carcano.

around thirty one thousand euros in germany. is the man i was overall impression is that the most of three is a really great car that doesn't have any faults it drives well it looks good and it's also well built the only thing he would like to have seen would be the option of a bigger engine maybe a two point five liter petrol engine in the order of one hundred eighty kilowatts but that would even give cars like to go out as three or are as three a run for their money it wouldn't be a problem to add an engine like that but without one it's not an alternative to those cars if the. team. was. very sadie's has unveiled its new am she a thirty five for matic it comes with a seven stage two a clutch transmission and am cheap performance four wheel drive. this engine

5:41 am
the interior is very up to date the digital dash owes all the information the driver needs. and there are two further displays but no buttons all drive and comfort modes are selected via touch pad. the card comes with a seven speed as trying to do a kludge transmission. the sleek station wagon is almost five meters long from the side the cars trapped as oil windows are clearly visible and thanks to its three metre wheel base there's lots and lots of space in. side for passengers.
5:42 am
and that side of a car tester in his paid three says the new audi avant has a sloping roof and slanted rear window and that despite these features outings engineers still manage to keep the vehicles cargo volume as it was before now but from. their trunk will fit at least five hundred sixty five liters of luggage and a maximum of one thousand six hundred eighty leaders to keep everything in place the outing comes with food rails and standard there's a net and additional storage options plus the back bench can easily be folded down from the rear. there's plenty of tech to enhance this dynamic ride it has new precise steering giving the driver perfect control for different types of suspension are on offer to.
5:43 am
the ones he misses out on a standard progressive steering an optional all wheel steering work together really well giving the car a number that you'd never expect from a five meters station wagon one of the business. even though the forty t.d.i. is the least powerful option available for the a six it's still more than enough for a sporty feel a one hundred fifty kilowatt engine delivers a maximum of four hundred meters of torque at just one thousand seven hundred fifty rpm visibility makes the dash from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour and eight point three seconds. depending on which trim line you get the central driver systems controller will process data from one to five radar sensors six cameras twelve ultrasonic sensors and one laser scanner.

any says she was surprised by the predicted the fish and sea assisted which makes the gas pedal vibrate when the system notices you've reached the maximum speed limit or when your sat nav shows you'll be driving into an area where you need to slow down enough says the car tells you to take your foot off the gas stop accelerating and save fuel. but these electronic assistance systems are not just designed to cut back on fuel they make driving safer as well the night vision assistant produces a thermal image of the surroundings highlighting the contours of protests three ins and cyclists the technology also detects wild animals and force so that collisions can be prevented. then not eunice says it all this talk of a night vision reminds her of how great this audi looks in the dark inside you can
5:45 am
adjust the ambient lighting to a color of your choice and half and even pick different colors for different areas and surfaces this lets you customize your car's interior illumination smack thank god thirty different colors are there to choose from but unfortunately like with all optional tech features that make this car even nicer and more fun it comes at a price when it comes to fancy interior lighting you need to shell out an extra five hundred seventy europe's but for that you get a really cool look you can even illuminate the doorsill panels and seat belt buckles. the audi as you know says the audi a six have an answer sporty feel thanks to a range of new tech features she thinks it's great fun to drive and she loves the modern and fresh design you know it's also appreciates the interior lighting which sets it apart from other station wagons and gives it a certain verb and playfulness.
5:46 am
nice to look at fast and expensive it's almost a rule for sports cars but the subaru b r z jointly development toyota aims to break it. it's been hard to start on the left stick with snappy sports who pays but the problem is that they are usually very expensive and therefore out of his range that's why he's testing the subaru b.r.c. today it can be had for less than forty thousand euro's with a two liter one hundred forty seven kilowatt boxer engine and rear wheel drive he wants to see if the b r z has really earned the title of sports car. out of magic or manual for b r z fans there's a clear favorite the g.t. is available with a six speed automatic transmission but most go for the six speed manual.
5:47 am
and that's what ronnie says the stick shift is a much better fit for the sports to play and the vast majority are sold with one you have to put in the effort yourself and is up to you how much fun you want to have. been caught. with this close ratios and smooth shifting it's child's play to navigate quickly through the gears and it's easy on the pocket book coming in at one thousand five hundred euros less than the automatic transmission but when it comes to the engine there's no choice. that's why the dani says the two liter box there is an engine that absolutely wants to be revved because it only achieves its full torque of two hundred five newton meters at six thousand four hundred r.p.m. that means not much happens below that and you don't really notice the one hundred forty seven kilowatts the engine puts out until it's really turning. sideways.
5:48 am
against going it does what it's supposed to. when it's comfortably growing voxer and you sound you can have a lot of fun but it comes at a cost in fuel consumption the manufacturers claims of eight point six liters per one hundred kilometers are something of a cheerful illusion the car manages the sprint from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in seven point six seconds in germany the version we're testing with the optional interior equipment and b r c sports plus costs at least thirty five thousand euros. and sporty appearance doesn't oversell as capabilities and the ele the lights look positively evil. the low down architecture displays typical coupe a proportions and all the lines eventually lead to a large rear spoiler. at the rear attention is drawn down from the spoiler to two and generously sized
5:49 am
tailpipes. the interior is reduced to the bare minimum but still looks up to date. for. a leather seats with the embroidery on all kind of tar and keep occupants where they belong in fantasy corners. ronnie says the b r z focuses on the you are driving experience in contrast to other cars which are full of assistance systems that g.t. as almost none. here is can also get themselves and b r z sport without the flies in its name that saves another two thousand euros by doing without the weather and i'll come tarik and the heated seats.
5:50 am
my thoughts it's summing up ronnie says the suvorov b.r. z. is precise like a sharp sushi knife he thinks the two leader boxer engine could use a bit more power but that's not essential because the subaru b.r.c. wasn't built to said speed records on the highway but the handle corners with composure on so called. the b.r.c. is a sports coupe a then emphasizes driving pleasure along with a growing box or sound and a good price performance ratio that also offers an exotic flair for german routes. the formula the racing series has been around since two thousand and fourteen and now there is the jaguar i paced intro for the motor racing series as well this year's event brings together eight international teams competing in different high pace motors ford vehicles team germany is led by christian dura.

di faced this in michigan says this is a production car which makes this something of a stock car race the first of its kind i guess that's why for them this racing series is all about innovation he says this creates the perfect foundation to learn about and advance emo billet the technology. and that's why the e trophy series exists and is held around the world along with a formula eagle feels like i'm done able to take head on default behavior type of team germany's driver is twenty seven year old celia montana from france she says the racers are unique. but it is the only thing to friends a miss the end saves is. that there is nothing. you just have
5:52 am
the steering wheel and your legs and you concentrate on yourself but you have the noise of the tie is that the same as they had those chances sealy is a young i really talented driver who will benefit a lot from this experience raced through the victory of. the team have brought in formula one driver and commentator christian donna to coach celia. menthol the racing veteran says the drivers need to be extremely focused when steering their vehicles through corners that's why he's convinced the race will be a great eye opening experience for sealy and. he's happy she's part of the team. can also afford us of those. a successful race team needs a well prepared driver just as much as a top notch gun. formulate e.c.s. and will kick off in the saudi capital. the two kilometer long race track has
5:53 am
a few tricky and tight corners which is why drivers like celia matan most familiarize themselves with the before hand. the narrow track is a for minimal challenge for formulate the racers and eyepiece vehicles alike. and christian walk along the track by foot to get a feel for am prepared for the most difficult parts. and says this is a fantastic course plus the typical street circus last year he says it's not a wide open race track in fact quite narrow with walls on either side which makes it harder to get a sense of orientation so he says that makes em. anything look alike and also
5:54 am
points out so-called elevation changes that make things even more challenging overall he thinks the course is not easy this is see him listening to those who have also. then the vehicle is readied for the race all crucial parts are checked and the car is fully charged. sealy a done serious special overall which protects your in case her vehicle catches fire this is a big moment for. those sprays firsts i face is for the race as well it's. when he gets to see all this people having an interest in what's a sport and so for the first time here inside yet. one by one the racers passed through the pit lane entry and take up their positions because of heavy rain
5:55 am
there was no qualifying session so positions are based on a training session instead celia will be starting from tenth place. and they're off simon evans from new zealand who started from full position is the first to reach the finish line after the sixteenth around the narrow windy racetrack is extremely demanding. celia comes in eleventh place which is no problem because there will be nine more races until july so she has plenty of opportunities to improve. us kids i mean my best take. the next race will take place on april third.
