part of the cooper family and certainly not lacking in the aggressive style i think so my mistake was that. the cooperage does indeed look the part chunky air intakes plenty of carbon along with the copper colored accents all add to the racy appeal of the say that liam cooper are as teen. and extended rear spoiler made of carbon fiber dominates the back of a large rear diffuser and quad tailpipes also emphasize the cooper's sporting credentials. than with me theone says the only on cooper it comes with the launch control as standard for that you have to switch off and set it to support it allows you to go from not to one hundred kilometers an hour and four point nine seconds. but cooper which weighs in at one point six tons is able to crack the five second

twenty eight thousand five hundred euros and you have in twenty nineteen to these electric cars are still in hot demand and. we've come to the streets of los angeles where we've been given the exclusive opportunity to try out the algae eater. on g.g. concept car that was unveiled at the l.a. auto show played last year. started just a reminder washy for likes the look of each straight up but he won't be on his own for the drive he's joined by dennis schmitz three technical project manager for the e. what dennis says it's a fully fledged show car and he's happy to show him on a well what the team is like at. a company by a police escort the pair begins their trip through the streets of l.a. the car has no number plates and is not normally permitted to drive on public roads

a fully electric coupe a bush an impressive four hundred thirty four kilowatts of power so it could rival some sports cars out there and all with zero emissions but sadly here in the city they can't push the each run anywhere near to its limits aside from the electric motor the cabin of the car is also unusual. dozens of dennis explains that the interior uses only materials there are no animal based products at all the steering wheel uses microfiber the seats are fabric it includes recycled materials the floor mats for example are made of reclaimed fishing nets. it certainly looks quite futuristic this slimline hexagonal steering wheel in the style of the slide control for the automatic transmission are a break with tradition for audi the entire interior is tailored to the driver's
8:43 am
needs there's also space for a head up display which would project information to where the driver can see it more easily. at first the seats were quite comfortable but during the drive the minimal starts to realize that while the each tranch each week as a good grip on the road it's also pretty hard the slightest bump in the road as he mediately. passed on through the seats to the occupants. dennis explains that's because this is only a show car and doesn't yet have this is a bench and that's the final each will have he says the final vehicle will be sporty but it will still be a comfortable ride. that there's something else that still bothering him in a way it's got the only sees this as a touring car he says but the range of four hundred kilometers has finally get you around the city and a bit beyond but what if you want to go on holiday to another country for example
8:44 am
and of how are you going to keep the battery charged with. dennis's shares and it's quite possible because the eternal cittie has an eight hundred vote battery which allows up to three hundred fifty kilowatt fast charging so it takes about twenty minutes to recharge the battery to eighty percent that will take you another three hundred twenty kilometers so you can take a coffee break for twenty minutes and then you're off again. finally it's time to change drivers a monologue can now get his hands on the steering wheel driving a concept car on public roads with a police escort isn't something you gets to do every day. while driving immediately notices something else. when you take the foot off the gas it slows to a stop your dentist says that's right it doesn't creep at all he says audi decided not to have it creak so you have to use the accelerator if you want to go anywhere
8:45 am
so that means it's recuperating energy right until you stop it's this break energy recuperation system along with a ninety kilowatt per hour battery fitted in the floor of the vehicle that audi says gives it a four hundred kilometer range. in his ads that the american market requires electric vehicles to have the obvious just. which emits a sound up to a speed of thirty kilometers an hour so that pedestrians can hear it coming. so that was our trial of the audi tron in l.a. a gentle stroll that you don't do every day. should have been a says he enjoyed it emmanuel certainly did but now he's keen to try out the finished car that's all fine and. dennis promises out he won't disappoint in two years' time. so perhaps we'll be back here again in two thousand and twenty one and then without a police escort. one

hundred chance compact goes back a way since instead view in two thousand and one the carmaker has sold seven million of its latest model from twenty eight team as a pressure forty year look. but that our card to stay in is page three says until now the jazz was only available with a one point three meter engine at seventy five kilowatts now it's added a more powerful version with a one point five liter gasoline engine that puts out ninety five kilowatts.

but the new engine is only available with the dynamic model it also reflects the car's new sporty look highlighted by the red trim along the spoiler with. colorful details to find the interior to such as red stitching on the steering wheel seats and gear shift. the gas tank is under the front seats this allows for an especially roomy interior a red trim runs right along the rear diffuser. rounding up a sporty appearance a well defined roof edge spoiler but foreigners such a small car it's what's on the inside that really counts. are tester tells us that the jazz his engine years and design are set out with

a specific goal to create as much space for people and their needs as possible with a car and its features taking up as little space as possible that i'm moving boxes will test just how well this idea translates into every day use. packing the car is easy thanks to a lower loading height and wide rear hatch. intelligently stacked there's room for a third team boxes in the back. with a. folded down the hundred jazz offers a maximum of one thousand three hundred fourteen leaders of cargo space with the seats up and the parcel shelf in place you have three hundred fifty four leaders but even then the compact car has a little trick to offer i hear enough to let you know says honda's magic seats as it calls them are hugely popular you simply for the seat upwards and then tuck away

a lot of revs but it's not necessarily being transferred to the wheels that's because the one hundred fifty five metres of maximum torque only kick in at forty six hundred r.p.m. on the other hand if you're on the expressway and six year then you find the car still has a lot to get. on to says the compact car has a top speed of one hundred ninety kilometers per hour so that's actually no different to the smaller engine. but when you want to put your. down for a sudden spurt then you do notice the benefit of a new engine with its head dish and all torque. it's in there then on that death then i mean this really likes the design of the hundred she has dynamic she thinks the red accents on the front spoiler and rear diffuser work well and the arrangement with the seats provides
