her first day of school when the. first cleaning lesson and then the store's grand moment arrives join the arena tango on her journey to freedom. interactive dungeon entry in and around getting returns home. oh and we're going to drive a deadbeat over your motor magazine. today's highlights out and about with the concept car we drive the out each around los angeles small but spacious four hundred jazz dynamic. and then you see at leon cooper our esteemed.

spanish brand see it shows the picture as roads around its home city of barcelona to show off what will be the last leon cooper had to bear the sea out logo a high performance machine for a final farewell. what this economy baker says there are lots of sporty station wagons offering plenty of space powerful engines and a brownie look to boot whether it's an a m g for mercedes have b.m.w. m model or an r. s. from out e i all have their own logo which they're proud to wear and not to be outdone see i've recently turned its sporty kookery models into a separate brand with their own logo a cooper i take it was its debut model but they seem to have forgotten this one they see that leon cooper r.s.t. the badge on the grill is c. at night cool frog you know who wonders why it's not part of the cooper family and certainly not lacking 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 city that liam cooper are as t.v. . and extended rear spoiler made of carbon fiber dominates the back of a large rear diffuser and quad tailpipes also emphasize the cooper sporting credentials. that is going to go on says the leon cooper it comes with the launch control and standard for that you have to switch off e.s.c. and set it to support it allows you to go from not to one hundred kilometers an hour and four point nine seconds. the cooper which weighs in at one point six tons is able to crack the five second mark not least because of its all wheel drive the car is powered by a two liter four cylinder turbo charged gasoline engine boasting two hundred twenty

one kilo watts of power and four hundred new meters maximum torque the top speed has been electronically limited to two hundred fifty kilometers an hour. but that i don't says the r. is t's all wheel drive gives it endless amounts of traction whatever surface you're driving on so speeding round bends is no problem but if you're on a longer drive and not interested in all that you can switch on the comfort mode which gives you lighter steering and softer suspension but if you're looking for more there's the sport mode and if you like it really hot there's the cooper mode where you never drop below two hundred r.p.m. in the steering is super responsive so you can really speed and it bends. the front axle has been reworked to improve haggling performance while ensuring a decent level of comfort during the drive i may get camber

a few degrees at the front and rear means fire cornering speeds are possible. if you haven't since the quad tailpipes might make you worry about up sending the neighbors but they say it doesn't have a super noisy exhaust system that will terrorize your neighbors instead it's fitted with a sound actuator which sends vibrations up the windscreen and thinks it doesn't sound unpleasantly synthetic so you can get to enjoy the rumbling inside the car while still keeping your neighbors happy too in the wrong but they're not about this all happy. ok and tara and carbon dominate the interior the digital cockpit comes with a choice of display modes and design. sporty buggered scenes covered in a cantarell long with carbon look door panels roundoff the mildly sporty appearance . that finally young wants to

clarify the confusion over the missing cooper logo it's clear that this car has all the power and performance of a cooper by its spacious two offering up to one. thousand five hundred sixty leaders of cargo space with a back seat folded down the answer is actually quite simple on the new generation leon is due out later this year so this is like a farewell to the previously successful generation and the form of a limited edition model a new generation of call then having a cooper logo. the crucial five thousand each e.t. is nothing if not i can't see the french carmaker peugeot has come up with a distinctive design that is a crossover between an s.u.v. and a van it's intended to be practical while looking dynamic masculine and elegant too

but it's not a true off road vehicle unlike its rivals it has no all wheel drive option. that is all car to saloons kapil says the new push over five thousand a.g.t. has little to do with its predecessor what was once a boring family van is now a sporty crossover its looks are closer to the peugeot three thousand eight with its smaller brother. but he says he is quite a bit bigger offering luxury and the latest technology from massage seats in the front to the sensor activated tailgate of five thousand eight has just about everything to make your day a little easier. inside if we chose uncluttered and well laid out the small steering wheel and the digital high cockpit are just two of the many highlights. but i call it

lewis's true joy a second generation iconic it has been completely redesigned and he likes of a lot better if that's not flat on the steering wheel since just below the dash so you can clearly see the squid ometer without ever taking your eye off the road so. there's. a five thousand eight offers the latest drivers says features including active safety brake with front collision warning active lane keeping assistance and wind speed detection and driver attention all are. with us wired hood and steel cut grill the peugeot looks ready for anything. and the chrome elements on the g.t. trim give it that extra touch of real luxury. their crossovers tailgate enjoys an extra modern look thanks to the contrast between the rear lights and the black strip their build into the real like catcher is this

small group edge spoiler. for point sixty four meters long lewis says if you show gives you plenty of space there's even room for an optional third rule foldable seats for two more passengers. going up as well as think this is where the persian really picks up points because it's very flexible although the seats are better suited for kids effort than adults . we've tested the five thousand names top diesel version with a blue h.d.i. engine and puts out one hundred thirty kilowatts in the g.t. variant it hits one hundred kilometers per hour nine point two seconds and tops out at two hundred eight kilometers per hour. the price tag for this version in germany starts in forty two thousand five hundred euro.

i think that was since the six peat out of many transmission is a breeze to handle the scaring is light and you get. stands for the link the first time you look in the rearview mirror. but despite its size the five thousand eight doesn't need much to get going you know estimates one hundred kilometers of driving needs just four point nine leaders of diesel. which shut up as well as finds a five thousand each g.t. convincing it offers a huge amount of space on the luxury features and a modern design the third row seats are just too small for adults but on the other hand good first smaller kids which could make it appealing for families of those on us and.

or save easy m g has released a race optimized version of its am g g t r pro sports car the chassis improved power to weight ratio and increased aerodynamics are just some of what's new the car is outfitted with a rollover protection system and have four point seat belt for the driver and passenger it reaches one ever kilometers an hour in just three point six seconds topping out of three hundred eighteen kilometers per hour. grantley has brought out its continental g.t. convertible now in the third generation but unlike its predecessor standing changes are subtle and a top of the line version supports a twelve cylinder engine putting out a four hundred sixty seven kim a watch i mean nine hundred meters of torque the continental g.t. convertible goes on sale in germany in june with prices starting at two hundred twenty eight thousand five hundred euros and you have in twenty nineteen to these electric cars are still in shock demand.

we've come to the streets of los angeles where we've been given the exclusive opportunity to try out the audi t.t. . concept car that was unveiled at the l.a. auto show late last year. started history month a wash a fair likes the look of each tron chichi straight up but he won't be on his own for the dry he's joined by dennis schmitz technical project manager for the each. foot dennis says it's a fully fledged show car but he's happy to show him on a well what the team is like that. accompanied by a police escort the pair begin their trip through the streets of l.a. a car has no number plates and is not normally permitted to drive on public roads a fully electric coupe a both 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 tron anywhere near towards 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 a slide control for the automatic transmission are a break with tradition for audi the entire interior is tailored to the driver's 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 ranchi feet as a good grip on the road it's also pretty hard the slightest bump in the road is immediately. passed on through the seats to the occupants. to dennis explains that's because this is only a show car and doesn't yet have the suspension that the final each will have he says the final vehicle will be sporty but it'll still be a comfortable right. but there's something else that still bothering him on a well if he 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 on earth how are you going to keep the battery charged. and demonstrate sure zimm it's quite possible because the each has an eight hundred volt 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. it's because my wife. finally it's time to change drivers in monaco can now get his hands on the steering wheel driving a concept car on public roads with a police escort isn't something you get to do every day. while driving he 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 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 at the american market requires electric vehicles to have the obvious. them which emits a sound up to a speed of thirty kilometers an hour so that suggest rience 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. sure enough bennett says he enjoyed it in mind while certainly did but now he's keen to try out the finished car. 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. the honda jazz compact goes back a way since its debut in two thousand and one the car maker has sold seven million

of them its latest model from twenty eight team has a pressure sportier look. but that our car testing is paid 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 a 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 the sporty appearance a well defined roof edge spoiler but warner such a small car it's what's on the inside that really counts. or 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. parking the car is easy thanks to a lower loading height and wide rear hatch. intelligently stacked there's room for thirteen boxes in the back. with a bow. 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 liters but even then the compact car has a little trick to offer i'll hit enough that let you know says honda's magic seeds as it calls them are hugely popular you simply for the seat upwards and then tuck away the supporting bar as well which fixes the seat in the upright position leaving you space for items that need more height like plants for example the i've

. done. so would certainly spacious for such a small color but doesn't also live up to what sporty look in his his the open road the new one point five liter i.v. take gasoline engine offers ninety five kilowatts of power with a manual transmission that jazz accelerates from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour in eight point seven seconds if you're not so keen on a manual you can get an automatic transmission for an extra thirteen hundred euros . have cockiness notices while driving that the biting point on the clutch pedal is very high then gears have a very short throw so it can feel sporty sweaty and is feels she has to really work the gas pedal to pick up speed and then it feels like she has a lot of revs but it's not necessarily being transferred to the wheels that's because the one hundred fifty five meters 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 give. up. on this is 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 for. down for a sudden spurt then you do notice the benefit of the new engine with its admission all torque. is some of them on that death and i mean this really likes the design of the hundred chance dynamic she thinks the red accents on the front spoiler and rear diffuser work well and the arrangement with the seats provides a lot of flexibility for stowing cargo. the man that i know and with a new engine in his things on it is on the right path in this but she thinks it

could still be a little more sporty this in spite of how that. b.m.w. debuted its new was motorcycle on the estoril racetrack near lisbon. and here it is the new as one thousand r r and first came onto the scene in two thousand and nine now in its third generation b.m.w. sets itself the goal of making a model this lighter easier to handle and one second faster than its predecessor. the reese track is the best place to let his fully test the bike and push it to its limits by bloggers enough weedman is checking out the as one thousand are for us.

the us is it trying it for the first time he said the fit was perfect even for someone his size such a small racing bikes can be an issue but he fits on this one great the first time around was really exciting when you first had to check out the course but everything went very smoothly it was really comfortable with the road tires everything was fine the traction control. everything in check you could even make mistakes without a problem even breaking late on a curve the a.b.'s took care of everything about if they did of. taking a closer look the m. version comes in b.m.w. is racing colors aside guards are in blazing with the initials are. there with rims made of carbon the s. one thousand are are is even lighter. and of course there's an m. sport seat.

the six point five inch t.f.t. display has been updated and for ride most range sport dynamic range becomes standard to ensure optimal driving in all conditions. but it's the redesigned motor that's the true game changer her. those the neuer our motor expert tells us the new b.m.w. s one thousand our engine is four kilograms lighter and incorporates b.m.w. shift cam technology for the first time she cam allows for a two in one concept a torque focused engine for the road and a very powerful engine for the race track a shift cam is comprised of two actuators and a shaft with two sliding segments depending on the revs you drive either on horsepower or torque can with this ystem switches automatically at one thousand revolutions eating five milli seconds to go from a torque to

a horse power oriented engine. naturally the tires also play a key role when it comes to driving at high speeds. with the bike your bike blogger says that a racing bike needs racing slicks because normal road tires are boring on the race track that makes them particularly excited slicks are completely different type of tire from road ones with different make. to ratio because road tires need to handle rain slinks are specially designed for asphalt and good weather so if you want to see how the slicks handle here. final preparations before ryanair friedman prepares to take one more lap around the track. the bikes performance clocks in at one hundred fifty two kilowatts it's lighter than its predecessor between nine and twelve point five kilograms lighter depending

on the model standard features include a.b.s. pro and dynamic traction control ensuring safer braking while leaning into corners . yobs or not i know says a motor bike needs to be a great ride and it was he says the slicks were perfect for it and weather like this and a race track like this you don't need road tires so if you really feel the tires groaning under the power this thing really takes to the road it's a lot of fun to think about that of the of the gods and a whole flipping aside it's because. it's one thousand are clearly performs well weather and every day use winding country roads or the racetrack in a high performance mode and in germany purchasing one will cost you less than twenty thousand euros.
