forty five minutes upon the. earth a home for saving global o.t.'s tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world ideas to protect the climate and boost green energy solutions global ideas the in by a series of global three thousand on t.w. and online. hello and welcome to driver the need to be a motor magazine coming up cutting edge navigation the opel insignia sports tour. robust all rounder than this unconscious guy. and dream convertible the b.m.w. eight series. 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 a lancia the coupe a has now been followed by a convertible the new eight series marries both sporty performance and much of a. 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 the wide wheel arches the typical b.m.w. proportions. the wide sporty rear end features large exhaust outlets and blacks are. around.

and 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 save fuel and he can choose sport and even sport plus if he really wants to let rip with all the latest cock who doesn't benefit if i've taught him sport models what off tonight in sport post-mortem or not gets i think it's now. 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 lock 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

the legacy is the steering is light on the 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. the convertible comes with all wheel drive and sports differential as standard the electronically controlled rear axle differential lock i don't leave provides optimum traction it also helps with accelerating out of the curve meaning you can really fly around those bands. and says he can close the roof in just fifteen seconds while still driving up to a speed of fifty kilometers per hour. nap over whether upholstered features and sport whether 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 the kind of get my hands measures one metre seventy five which is not particularly top if he can sit comfortably in the front but he wants to try out the back of that i've got a front seat moose were damaged course with the roof open getting in is easy so i. like this he's quite comfortable but now when he puts the driver seat set to his height back into position it's pushing against his knees. no one's going to want to sit here for longer journeys that the. intercoastal active steering enhanced 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. you have 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 supporters support plus mode yes likes it a lot with a v. eight under the hood the enormous acceleration power and the sound of the exhaust it's enough to give anyone goosebumps so i don't want them that are coming up and for what i know kind of get 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. i missed it when it was says that when it comes to an end fourteen months. system you want to be easy to use and to reach here that's the case here everything's easily within reach and you can brace your hand while you're entering something in the next issue is connectivity there is apple car play and android

auto but you do need it it's not wireless yet. but you can connect your phone to the sat nav or infotainment system. you know do that now. that's mommy will be. first pres and phone. to phone and so. then go to bluetooth mode. to mode of 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 i don't know if the speech recognition system means you don't have to fiddle with the display while you're driving a manual gives senator. the manual tells you to drive to the deutsche vella in bonn. said mab recognizes the voice commanding gets to work. from there is the best route the sat nav asked the man oh well if he wants to head

out. you know. because i was not 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 he asked me to ask but. with a tethered smartphone this 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 t. paid protocols that way you can always stay up to date the sat nav maps also stay up to date since format up days per year 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 meters. out on the road b. insignia is add child and easy to handle on careers and higher speeds when noise is more apparent but it's still within the acceptable range. when 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 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 that awesome name was added out of the park push. this car is powered by a one hundred twenty one kilowatt one point five liter turbo charged gasoline engine and makes the sprint 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 the missing body minimal 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 a car then you just use your cell phone as a g.p.s. rather than buying a car equipped with one. b. . that's the name of a us audio products manufacturer founded by rapper dr dre say that has now installed the company's premium sound system and a special edition of the beats of the it beats of beats side mirrors and fog lights and eclipse orange are just some of the features that enhance the beats is already

more than six hundred thousand in germany alone and 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 courseware. for the past thirteen years the qashqai has played the role of the urban crossover and the masonic portfolio our entire tennis tribe 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 down the road but they want to find out how the car performs in various everyday driving situations.

new sun offers five different trim levels for the kind of guy we're testing the second highest level the tech now with us and fourteen months system and black design leather seats and even offers a certain sense of luxury. the united card to stain is 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. to big old boomerang inspired daytime running lights graced the front along with his son's iconic wii motion front grille. black plastic camels underlying that cars robust look around clarence's eighteen

centimeters on. the window line teachers upwards sharply towards the back of a car with a crawl i'm surrounded directing attention to the roof spoiler. even listen i have it even says the most important change can be found under the hood his son now offers a one point three liter gasoline engine with outputs of either one hundred three or one hundred seventeen kilowatts they replace the old one point two and one point six liter engines today she's testing the smaller one hundred three kilowatt version. 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 kind of sky price range. in a sense 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 newton metres of torque at sixteen hundred revolutions per minute. she now wants to test it on the german autobahn. of quality 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 a wide seat pillar was actually a disadvantage she found it impacted her all round vision considerably enos also

thought the car felt overall a bit too big and cumbersome for the city and it's a big hit. with that in mind it might be a good idea to order the onboard navigation system with all around if you monitor. a three hundred sixty degree view many will find it helpful when reversing in the higher trim levels it's part of a standard phoenix along with other safety features. in his says that car that she tested with the high level tech that back h m a 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 then off. after

all the more powerful engine offers an audition of fourteen kilowatts of power but if you're looking to go more off the road with a college try and need all wheel drive you won't get it once again so in version you'll need instead to opt for the more powerful oven to diesel engines on offer. than 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 asked 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 by our says the nine twenty four was originally intended as well as wagons flagship sports bouquet 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 go to leader four cylinder engine powered the audi one. a hundred and the voce wagon l.t. van but in one thousand nine hundred seventy four the new v.w. boss tony smoker bailed out due to the oil crisis and potential competition with v.w. zone sure rocco he decided to cancel the development project for. but portia 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 then the nine twenty 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 housewives' porsche flash an offense that kept saying to speed i'm back at it and i feel it's right there at the white house called pos as 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 explained it's the engineers throughout the trans actual principle meaning engine in front of transmission at the rear and nearly two metres of rigid metal in between that help distribute weight evenly and ensure neutral handling qualities so it was up fast and confident right but not particularly spectacular as on the aspect that. besides what if the portion one twenty four was designed by harm the guy who later became porsches head of design but he wasn't even thirty years old at the time his design featured a completely plain chassis with a many flat surfaces 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 horses chief designer on a total of 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 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 porsche nine hundred twenty four a true sports car well look under the hood tells a different story because this water cooled four cylinder here you'll also find it in the audi one hundred and a volkswagen l t m for a white panel van dam's but here in porsche the cage at tronic fuel injection system is. amps up the sportiness to give you one hundred twenty five horsepower. so poor ship your wrists may have turned up their noses but it was popular the original model with a two liter naturally aspirated engine had seals figures topping one hundred twenty

thousand. that's 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 nine twenty four's popularity with buyers hope pulled porsche out of a slump during the 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
