after a break of more than a decade b.m.w. finally has a larger sports car in its range that b.m.w. eight series the lancia the coupe a has now been followed by a convertible the new eight series marries both sporty performance and much. give pretty much says it feels like the range of attractive convertibles in germany is getting ever smaller but today he's testing out an especially good looking specimen . chunky air intakes sleek l.e.d. headlights and the b.m.w. signature dual kidney grille dominate the front. how long the hood emphasizing the low slung structure along with wide wheel large the typical b.m.w. proportions. of the wide sporty rear end features large exhaust outlets and blacks around.

in them again says you can certainly enjoy life in an m eight fifty i like this one the engine under the hood is of course super powerful and you can choose whether he selects the comfort mode for a comfortable ride or the eco mode to see fuel and he can choose sport and even support plus if he really wants to let it rip. doesn't that video i've gotten support mortals what off tonight inspired post more to get think it's not. despite his weight of more than two tons the m eight fifty i convertible really sprints off the starting line that's all thanks to the four point four leader v a turbo charged gasoline engine that moves from zero to one hundred in three point nine seconds the top speed has been a lot tronic lee limited to two hundred fifty kilometers per hour and germany prices for the top engine started nearly one hundred thirty four thousand euro us a leg in size the steering is like a one thousand inch braking system is super exact you can gauge it precisely and

the eight speed automatic transmission means it doesn't need to bother with the gears. it convertible comes with all wheel drive and sports differential as standard the electronically controlled rear axle differential lock i'd only provides optimum traction it also helps to think celebrating out of the curve meaning you can really fly around those venues. and says he can close the roof in just fifteen seconds while still driving up to a speed of fifty kilometers per hour the quick. nap of the leather upholstered features and sport weather steering wheel come a standard. if you wanted to really swish you can opt for a start stop button and gear shift lever made of crystal. neck warmers integrated

into the front headdress which blow out warm air on colder days are only available as an optional extra despite the high starting price which we think is pretty poor for their kind of get my ends measures one meter seventy five which is not particularly talk as if he can sit comforter. only in the front but he wants to try out the back of that i've got a front seat moves forward and of course with the roof open getting it is easy so. i think this he's quite comfortable but now when he puts the driver seat set his height back into position it's pushing against his knees but no one's going to want to sit here for longer journeys like the. intercoastal active steering inhance is the overall sporty feel of the car up to a speed of seventy two kilometers per hour the rear wheels are steered in the opposite direction to the front this makes the steering

a lot more precise and significantly reduces the turning radius. yes how about the un says the exhaust sounds great and he can make it louder if he wants so here you can choose between a more serene and reserves style or in your face loud when you opt for the sport or sport plus mostly i voted against the likes of a lot of the v.a. under the hood the enormous acceleration power and the sound of the exhaust it's enough to give anyone goosebumps warning i want them to and that are coming up on for what i'm the kind that gets the. journalist emmanuel shaffer says he's just read an article in germany as big as automotive magazine if they compared twenty one cars from various manufacturers focusing on their infotainment systems one of them leapt out at him the opel insignia why because it took

a very respectable fifth place behind premium brands like porsche b.m.w. and mercedes which have cars in their lineup that cost twice or even three times as much that's reason enough to take a closer look at the opel. insignia is opals flagship model so it's one of the first they've outfitted with the latest generation infotainment systems and touchscreen up to eight inches in size is the heart of the system the premium version is the multimedia navvy pro which will get a look at. and if the demand was there is no when it comes to an end fourteen what system you wanted to be easy to use and to reach that's the case here everything's easily within reach and you can brace your hand while you're entering something done in the next issue is connectivity there is apple car play and android auto all of it but now that you do need a cable it's not wireless yet. but you can connect your phone to the sat nav or

infotainment system. they don't do that now. that mommy will be. first prez and phone. then go to bluetooth mode often bluetooth done then most see how long it takes to find it. a few seconds later the smart phone has detected the bluetooth connection and paired with it and i've used this speech recognition system means you don't have to fiddle with the display while you're driving a manual gives you a trial. so the manual tells that the drive to the deutsche vella in bonn. has said may have recognizes the voice command and gets to work. from there is the best route the sat nav as he meant it well if he wants to head out. you know. the can i was an island in monaco since both touch screen or voice

commands work well and he finds the interior appealing but now it's time for him to leave the stage for a moment it's the place. where they tethered smartphone the system delivers traffic information in close to real time when the system is not connected it can use d.a.b. to access information carried by paid protocols that way you can always stay up to date the sat nav maps also stay up to date since for map updates premier are included in the package. the insignia sports tourer features a long slow silhouette eighteen inch alloy wheels and chrome trim extending all the way to the trunk add to the sporty look luggage capacity is up to one thousand six hundred sixty five leaders. out on the road be insignia is add china

and easy to handle on couriers at higher speeds when noise is more apparent but it's still within the acceptable range. with this car also has a head up display it's very practical you can always see how fast you're driving and the speed limit as long as the car is equipped with speed limit recognition like this one of the if you have a sat nav device you can see the next turn without taking your eyes off the road so it's very practical for this dawson the most out of it out of the park dish. this car is powered by a one hundred twenty one kilowatt one point five liter turbo charged gasoline engine. it makes the spread from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour and eight point nine seconds and sports a time speed of two hundred twenty two kilometers per hour and germany the sports tour innovation version starts in about thirty six thousand euros.

about anything documentable gives his verdict the opel insignia is an absolutely solid car with its good showing on the comparison test is well deserved if you want to cut costs a bit if you could easily do without the sat nav and the somewhat larger display even in the basic version the infotainment system supports android auto and apple car play then you just use your cell phone as a g.p.s. rather than buying a car equipped with one. beats that's the name of a us audio products manufacturer founded by rapper dr dre c. out has now installed the company's premium sound system and a special edition of the beats of the beats of beats side mirrors and fog lights and eclipse orange are just some of the features that enhance the pizza's already dynamic youthful mind.

highlights in the interior include this board seats with a speech design they provide more lateral support than the standard version the beads are also a bose a well equipped infotainment system with an eight inch color touch screen and a virtual cockpit that can be adapted to suit the driver's individual wishes a three hundred watt amplifier with h.m.o.'s and seven premium loudspeakers ensure a great sound and. so i thought i had a car just a vinyl dyson over wonders if you can really call the beats a small car. maybe now he says it measures four point zero five meters in length but consider that the go for from one nine hundred ninety seven to two thousand and three was just nine centimeters longer by that standard the beats that isn't all that small. amount i would not climbs in i know hold who's fairly tall has

plenty of space and i'm out of things i was going to rear its. him. but i have space here too that's what and he concludes a respectable amount of leg room for a small car. conspicuous features on the exterior are at the grill in a shiny chrome diamond design and the l.e.d. headlights. and then there are those sixteen inch aluminum rims and chrome framed windows. the original to look isn't swamped by the ever present beach logo but three juba needed. the trunk of france and he can be very thanks to the flexible seating configuration. coupled with the beaches drug offers two hundred sixty two to one

thousand and seventy two leaders from storage space which are testers this is just below average for its class less than the open course or the ford fiesta but the loading floor is even and the sill is not too high a finds. we take a spin in the beats a beats with the most powerful gasoline engine the one leader eco t.s.i. generates eighty five kilowatts of power according to see at the b.b.c. uses four point nine leaders of gas for one hundred kilometers the spread from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour takes nine point five seconds and top speed is one hundred ninety three kilometers per hour in germany prices for the beads have been started to work. around twenty eight thousand euros for sale is the i hope says the beats is an especially important model for say that since its introduction in one thousand nine hundred four over five point five million have been sold worldwide more than six hundred thousand in germany alone it's basically

a small version of a leon says reinhart sporty sterling and not a bit boring and it has what it takes to face up to the bigger rivals like the ford fiesta or the open course or. for the past thirteen years they kind of guy has played the role of the urban crossover and the masonic portfolio our entire test drive was plagued by bad weather but the qashqai took it all in stride as you would expect from an s.u.v. it feels very sure footed on the road but we want to find out how the car performs in various everyday driving situations. nissan offers five different trim levels for the kind of guy we're testing the second highest level they techno with us and for

a team and system and black design leather seats it even offers a certain sense of luxury. the not the car to stay in his creator he says the nineteen inch wheels and smart wheel rams come standard with a technique she thinks they've had perfectly with the four point four metre long run a looking car. typical gurung inspired daytime running lights graced the front along with his son's iconic wii motion front grille. black plastic panels underlined the car's robust look around clarence's eighteen centimeters on.

the window line tapers upward sharply towards the back of the car with the chrome surround directing attention to the roof spoiler. david listen i am but in a sense the most important change can be found under the hood listen now offers a one point three leader gasoline engine without cords of either one hundred three or one hundred seventeen kilowatts they replace the old one point two and one point six meter engines today she's testing the smaller one hundred three kilowatt version that's the one that. it takes ten point nine seconds to go from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour this smaller gasoline engine has a top speed of one hundred ninety three kilometers per hour the combination of engine version and trim line that we tested is exactly in the middle of the overall

price range. enos is the one hundred three kilowatt gasoline engine always comes with a manual six speed transmission she notices that the throws are quite long and there's considerable resistance on the clutch pedal so it doesn't feel like such a dynamic right although the engine actually kicks in the full two hundred forty new meters of torque at sixteen hundred revolutions per minute. she now wants to test it on the german autobahn. of course the business of changing gears is not really an issue on the autobahn driving here is much better in is found that in the city a smart design feature with the wide seat pillar was actually a disadvantage she found it impacted her all round vision considerably anus also

thought the car felt overall a bit too big and cumbersome for the city and. with that in mind it might be a good idea to order the onboard navigation system with all around hue monitor. a three hundred sixty degree view many will find it helpful when reversing in the higher dream levels it's part of a standard phoenix along with other safety features. the innocent is the car that she tested with the high level tech that package on the smaller gasoline engine costs roughly thirty thousand euros in germany she would be interested to know what the car feels like with a more powerful gasoline engine and seven speed to a clutch transmission whether it would feel more dynamic and agile that would certainly be worth a try. after all the more powerful engine offers an additional fourteen kilowatts of power but

if you're looking to go more off the road with a cash guy and need all wheel drive you won't get it with again so a version you'll need instead to opt for the more powerful of the two diesel engines on offer. the porsche nine twenty four is one of the biggest selling sports cars in history its origins go back to the early one nine hundred seventy s. when both wagon as the company's engineers to develop a successor to the nine fourteen a car they jointly developed. was put in i saw that artistically stuff power says the nine twenty four was originally intended as well as wagons flagship sports coupe a it was even some talk about it being sold as an audi so the porsche engineers borrowed from the most wagon groups entire range of models with many of the small

parts like the interior knobs and switches that wheel suspension and brake components come from the beetle golf and others that to leader four cylinder engine powered the audi one. hundred and the voce wagon l.t.v. then but in one thousand nine hundred seventy four the newly w boss tony smoker bailed out due to the oil crisis and potential competition with the w.'s own sure rocco he decided to cancel the development project yes well for. porsche didn't give up. and stead they brought the nine twenty four to market themselves the new nine twenty four was a ready made people's porsche exactly what the marketing team was looking for to appeal to a broader market and the nine eleven but the nine twenty four was a world apart from the ad child nine eleven.

back then the porsche disciples believe firmly in the trinity of the rear mounted engine and box are designed with air cooling the nine twenty four had none of that plus the ignition was to the right of the steering wheel which was definitely not on it but at least the seats in the instruments came from the good old nine eleven which cost thirty two thousand marks back in one thousand nine hundred four started in twenty three thousand marks which brought in many new customers of course and it became a huge seller but decades later traditional is still disparage the nine twenty four as a housewife porsche flashed a fan thought kept saying to speak i make a profit i feel it's right there at the white house called par says i. for a time and even seem like the nine eleven his days were numbered which would have spelled the end of the traditional porsche design the watercooled front engine nine twenty four look sent to become the standard for future models.

the first porsche with the front engine needed a bit of tweaking to meet the brand's reputation for sportiness christophe explain it's the engineers throughout the trans actual principle. meaning engine in front transmission of the rear and nearly two metres of rigid metal in between to get that help distribute weight even lay and ensure neutral handling qualities so it was a fast and confident right and that particularly spectacular is on the aspect that could. decide what if the portion one twenty four was designed by harm the guy who later became porsches head of design that he wasn't even thirty years old at the time his design featured a completely plain chassis with many flat surfaces that pop up headlights and a pointed snout the sleek design i needed a world leader in terms of aerodynamics its drag coefficient was

a zero point three six which was among the lowest in the world for series production cars another memorable and very practical element was the glass hatch which offered what was at the time the largest drug ever on a porsche plenty of room for your golf clubs but porsches chief designer on a total of the pine wasn't a fan he said whoever came up with this was someone who always wanted a ferrari but never got one kind of a come out at that at that back. today the understated nine twenty four is seen as a timeless icon of design it echoed the wedge shape that was extremely popular at the time but with the rounded edges and corners from the late one nine hundred seventy s. to the early one nine hundred ninety s. nearly all porsche models mirrored this basic design.

the rear seat of the two plus two didn't offer much room though and exchange the three hundred sixty leader trunk of pasty was a standout in the sports car category up that posh life was the portion. in twenty four hour true sportscar well look under the hood tells a different story with this water cooled four cylinder here you'll also find it in the audi one hundred and a volkswagen l t a light handle bandwidth but here in porsche. tronic fuel injection system amps up the sportiness to give you one hundred twenty five horsepower. so poor ship purists may have turned up their noses but it was popular the original model with a two liter naturally aspirated engine had seattle's figures topping one hundred twenty thousand. christo says that

many years after the model was retired in one nine hundred eighty eight the disciples of the nine eleven finally began to praise this very successful compromise with its combination of usefulness good workmanship and acceptable sportiness plus the one twenty four's popularity with buyers pulled porsche out of a slump during the oil crisis it was the world's best selling sports car for years after its and says through the three fifty six it was only the second porsche to enter serious production with a four cylinder engine so the one thousand and four was definitely a milestone an automotive history. but the nine twenty four and other front mounted engine models could knock the iconic porsche nine eleven from its throne even today the nine eleven is a porsche trademark meanwhile its transaxle models were taken out of the lineup in the mid one nine hundred ninety.
