how about taking a few risks you could even take a chance on love. don't expect happy ending. the church. hello and welcome to drive with a d w motor make a scene coming up the toyota camry back in europe after a 15 year hiatus. the latest in b.m.w. use 7 series as study in luxury and putting the sporty cooper had to go through its paces.

the spammy shailene majorca is ideal for holidays in the sun and for testing the cooper a take up and all kinds of road conditions. these contests are close needs food says compact s.u.v.s like the v.w. t. iraq are popular but says they're too tame for buyers who prefer even sporty or handling so cooper see at's motor sports division has ruled out something special the a take up now klaus is going to try it out. closers organized a little triathlon for this crossover and should be sport to pay off road country road and race track where the former race driver will push the a take it to its limits. the 1st test rugged terrain here the s.u.v. is nimble enough all wheel drive in the high clearance do the trick but he quipped with on road tires it can't show what it can really do.

even with its higher center of gravity and the a take it aces side tilson inclines of course it wasn't built to be an all terrain vehicle but for a crossover issue its performance is more than up to snuff. and the design reflex. pure performance. on the way to the racetrack klaus checks how well it copes with country roads. he explains that the cooperage take his engine actually comes from the volkswagen. that's part of o. swags much of their design concept and puts out 300 horsepower more than you generally need on country routes but then it's always nice to have some power in reserve he says for example when you need to pass quickly.

close finds nothing to complain about he really likes the driveability though the car under steers a little time to see what it can do on the track its it. on the majorca circuit close is able to push the and take it to its limits. but 1st here's a summary of the model specs. close thinks the 400 meters of torque from the turbo charged engine is more than enough to exit tight curves at a good clip he points out that the all wheel drive also provides the traction needed to accelerate out of curves and get up to speed fast on straight away. chanelle to get. the thrust is put through

a newly developed 7 speed d.s.t. dual clutch automatic transmission and being close confirms that the car waffles a little when turning through a series of back and forth tight curves and says oh cars do to some extent when you turn left and then right quickly. well done i thought and with the higher center of gravity here as in all issues viz this one is no exception but he has no trouble keeping it under control for the take it has a very smart all wheel drive that sends the thrust where it's needed he says that makes for a well balanced current a very good nicely tight suspension it has various settings and on the track of course he puts it on the sporty just want to. want to fit but at the spot besides. the driving mode called cooper it is very responsive and the suspension nice and tight but that makes little sense for ordinary driving the

normal mode on the other hand seems fuel and gets the car through traffic less aggressively. that those who follow the plows decides that the company hasn't promised too much cooper a take a left a good impression on the track but not many owners will be driving it there by the way in germany the base version starts at $42850.00 euros but out of the oil. price cog of carter's to jambo here pops a trivia question what's currently the world's best silly midsize sedan it's the camry toyota has churned out over 19000000 of them worldwide since the model was launched in 1902 the one the last camry was sold in germany in 2004 and then discontinued europe hardly noticed the sticking point was that buyers in the market for nearly 5 meter long sedan generally opted for

a diesel instead of the camry's 3 leader precincts gasoline engine but times change and now the camry's come back to europe as a full hybrid when their company gets 4 if you believe then come back and i will. tell you it is taking a conscious approach to the camry he said returning and his. counting on selling just 12000 units the 1st year in all of europe that compares to about 700000 sold annually worldwide the japanese car maker is also targeting a very specific group taxi drivers city traffic is where the new 4 hybrid can use its low fuel consumption to the best advantage and leave the hard work up to the electric motor it can cover about half the trips taken in normal conditions on electric drive only achieving a total system performance of $160.00 kilowatts together with a 4 cylinder 2 and a half leader gasoline engine.

just want to know what a yawn finds it hard to tell if the camry is running on electric or gasoline powered while he's moving aside from the sound of the tires on the road he can't really hear any difference inside nor does he notice any change when the car automatically switches from electric to combustion power everything's very smooth and quiet in sight but he admits the automatic continuously variable transmission took some getting used to it failed to him like a rubber band was pulling the car because the engine gets louder before the added thrust kicks in. so on and even then what. would i what it when i thought of what. the words are gasoline engine allows the camry to shift a lot more evenly and harmoniously than the less powerful one in toyota's prius hybrid even though it has

a continuously variable transmission as well. up front the camry sports a large trap as a way to air dam. the ends of the bumper frame the air intakes to give the body aching. of a catamaran double by. the generously laid out and easily accessible trunk offers 524 liters of volume. and yet this camry makes jaan feel more like cruising easily down the road than racing around he puts that down to a power train that's designed for efficiency and a very comfortable suspension but even though it was fine tune especially for europe he can still tell the model was developed primarily for the american market and smooth over the bumps in the road quite nicely but at high speeds his body

tends to start moving around. the camry has profited from the car makers new t.n.g.'s the toyota a new global architecture platform and the car maker is integrating into the body structure of many of its other models it's given the camry 30 percent a greater torsional rigidity. in live on and off it will ya notice is 1st about the interior is the high quality workmanship but he also notices that some features like the sat nav the displays resolution and even the buttons for the heated seats located down on the console they all look a little dated. the 2.8 meter wheelbase allows for a spacious interior a 7 inch info display dominates the instrument cluster while an 8 inch infotainment

system greases the center console. concludes that the full hybrid camera would serve well as a cruising sedan for traveling although it's slow for. you'll consumption any mission's ratings are best appreciated in stop and go city traffic in spite of its quirks when accelerating a full hybrid sedan has no real competition in the mid-size segment he says so it will be interesting to see of toyota will stick with the $12000.00 and will units its plan for ortho full hybrid camry will soon become a more common sight on year of threads. in an effort to make all electric cars practical and affordable volkswagens opening a new chapter with its i need 3 and 3 stands for v.w. as compact class and v.w.

sees the model as the 3rd chapter in the book that started with the beetle and the golf 3 battery sizes give the id 3 a range of between 330 and 550 kilometers and germany prices started under $30000.00 euros. ford has presented its new ranger raptor optically the special model is based on the f. 150 raptor made for the american market but unlike the f 150 is powered by a 2 liter 156 kilowatt diesel engine special shock absorbers made by motorsports supplier fox let it take on extremely rugged terrain and faster speeds and germany prices for the ranger raptor started just under $67000.00 euros. today the car tested against tot mom is taking out the new facelift a b.m.w.

7 series he wants to see how it drives and especially how it feels when you're being driven. just over 3 years after the last update the very in car maker has once again worked over its flagship model giving it a new look and adding the newest technology. the latest version of b.m.w. is luxury sedan has significantly larger trademark kidney grills than his predecessors 40 percent larger according to the designers the headlights on the other hand have shrunk 2 the car maker will continue to offer the 7 series in short and long variance both have added 22 millimeters in length. and says new every detail adds with a light strip identify the car along with 2 other clues on the rear the x. drive the cars 4 wheel drive system and the 745 alley badging the number tells you about the motor the l.

stands for long and the means it's a plug in hybrid. the facelift and 7 series interior was left mostly untouched except for the 12.3 inch digital instrument cluster behind the wheel as well as a 10 and a quarter inch console on the central stack. just like the last version it's give it out with a luxury as leather seats. the rear is as comfortable as b.m.w. can make it that's where c.e.o.'s politicians and others who can afford it recover from the stress of their jobs. but up again says the engines range from the 730 d. to the m 760 l. y. in other words from a 4 cylinder to a powerful v 12 he decided to take out the 745 for

a reason. the st 6 cylinder plug in hybrid has a total system output of $219.00 kilowatts and can hit 100 kilometers per hour from a dead standstill and just over 5 seconds the top speed is electronically capped at 250 kilometers an hour when running on electric power alone the 745 l e x drive has only a 54 kilometer range. and. come with a fine yes says handling couldn't be better the chassis is very comfortable and steering is precise and responsive the brakes are nicely incremental and he's happy to turn over the annoying task of shifting gears to the aid speed automatic transmission which does the job better than he ever could but. many buyers of the 7 series won't be driving it themselves they'll often have a chauffeur for that so what's it like to sit in back in the lap of luxury.

is even that isn't the end says the long version of the 7 series is the chauffeur limo and he's in the back enjoying the ride and you can really imagine sitting back here for you in a 1000 kilometers while getting an astonished by the seat watching t.v. and giving the occasional order up front if he felt like if he could he weren't back here but that he would want to do that he has. been interested. so the bottom line is that the 7 series has grown even more comfortable quiet and luxury is it's not the kind of car you jump into for a quick trip to the store but it's a. ideo for a longer journey whether behind the wheel or in back. s.u.v.s are supposed to be versatile able to get the job done both on and off the

road while some brands also emphasize sportiness he has taken a different approach with the sport which despite its name the korean car maker has supplied a fuel saving hybrid concept to its most powerful diesel its 48 volt battery and 12 kilowatt starter generator let the combustion engine switch off even while the car is moving toward sample when it's coasting or break a. leg of a these are the very man o'shea versus the diesel he has today is supported by the mild hybrid network which lowers consumption by taking the strain off the combustion engine and when you coast up to a light at under 30 kilometers an hour the engine cuts out and you sail up to it he says and that also saves fuel. the electric motor can enhance torque by up to 55 newton meters giving that to leader diesel sportage $136.00 kilowatts of

power and taking it to 100 kilometers an hour 9 and a half seconds compared to the conventional 2 leader diesel version of the s.u.v. the mild hybrid reduces consumption and emissions by have to 10 percent down to a respectable $5.00 leaders per 100 kilometers on the road. emanuel says the sportage is handling is a pretty relaxed affair the chassis is soft and so is the steering and not really made her sporty driving on the other hand as an s.u.v. soon you want to hire seats have a good overview and you certainly have that. several changes have also been made to the looks of a new sport each the front has been given more contours and a more. exclusive appearance overall the optional l.e.d. headlights and filigree grill lead to a more dynamic modern air the facelift and model is also longer than its predecessor it down measures just under 4 and

a half meters. in back under ceilings jumps out at you and gives the new sporting bronnie or appearance. they are officially they can sportage is a compact issue but its dimensions are a little too large for that but you notice it when you sit in back says the man while there is plenty of leg room want to give it that he moved to the rear and still has over a hand's breath of space so no reason to complain if you make of. the interior of this test car is fitted with a g.t. trim line and includes a leather flat bottom steering wheel. the upholstery is also leather while the seams are stitched in a contrast in or it all in all the impression is one of quality workmanship.

nowaday in called this young man was says he likes a sporty choose tidy interior the buttons on the middle console are intuitive and you quickly find what you need just like with other manufacturers it's all high gloss which is not good for dust or fingerprints but that complaint applies to pretty much every car otherwise everything is tiptop. all in all he says the key is sportage is a solid car it has some weaknesses but also strengths and you can't forget that it generally comes with a 7 year warranty practically no other manufacturer gives that he says after the with. the sporty inches key is top selling model worldwide. both the mild hybrid diesel and other available engines meet strict new european emissions requirements.

today we're taking a unique early 1950 s. car for a spin the v.w. beetle stole who play the v.w. beetle went into mass production in 1905 selling millions a no frills car suited to the bleak postwar period but by 1949 v.w. began selling a beetle convertible and a better equipped version for export the economic miracle every new germans thirst for luxury. now have up there not been each car expert crystal ball where says wealthy german lawyer baron hard to keep my knowledge and from buying now i'm was an artsy kind of sewer for whom a mass produced beetle just wouldn't do so he designed this wonderful v.w. beetle stoke to pay in 1951 local coach builders stole undertook the customization based on an export model made valid to break with uniformity.

the v.w. is platform allows for different bodies to be fitted which is ideal for customization . but the boss back then i read nordoff stressed that v.w. was a car maker not a chance the maker and declared we want to control what the vehicles that bear our name look like still v.w. made only small cosmetic changes to the beetle and even in the 1970 s. it was still allowing others to fit the bug with more luxury as bodies. or that in fact the christo says that underneath the elegant body of this v.w. beetles to coop a hides a pretzel beetle which we discontinued in 1953 the v.w. beetle stowe coupe a doesn't have its trademark pretzel shaped rear window though christophe says instead it has. a large rectangular rear window that was likely taken from the then brand new b.m.w. 501 cristo says the good view is crucial because the stoke you pay has no side mirrors only introduced larger rear windows to its mass production beetles and 1957

. gradual improvements made the v.w. beetle a massive hit and 1955 the car makers celebrated the production it was one millionth beetle by building a luxury beetle coated in gold dust and jewels by this time reaping how since unique stole who pay had already covered tens of thousands of kilometers. of a field what about kristen says reaping house and put over 400000 kilometers on his custom build v.w. an impressive technical feat for the 1950 s. and sixty's and leap in housing was traveling in the style that is v.w. slush leather seats and door panels were worthy of a rolls royce or a bentley christof now that's a leap in housing would likely have wanted to bring along a suitcase or 2 those storage space is pretty limited chris duff points out a clever folding mechanism you can fold the rear seat bench forward creating story

space for evening wear or what have you it said that volkswagen later patent this feature. i'm deeply skeptical folks talking straight on off putting to get nothing . the stone coup pays front section is identical to the production model beetle. it's stylish head like covers and folding canvas sunroof or available at the time as optional accessories everything else though was custom built. high i think as it and bigger stuff things these indicators on the b. pillar and these air vents so-called. rheumatism flaps look pretty peculiar not today's standards this feature was installed only in 1951 models the they also has a special silhouette with beautiful wheel covers and is striking not your back and

says christophe here you can tell it's all been built by hand truly one of a kind when you get. underneath the hood is the granddaddy of all v.w. engine it's a 4 cylinder boxer engine with $1.00 leaders of displacement and $24.00 horsepower . but that part of the christer says it takes about 50 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour the cars top speed despite the meager $24.00 horsepower doesn't feel slow the car way so little that the engine has an easy time. coach builders rummage through zoom have also developed high end beetle versions and most number of car maker carmen developed open top models that served as prototypes for a v.w. 1949 beetle convertible but all still ever developed was this one luxury is v.w.

still to play. tough fights christof says the v.w. still coupe a was one of a kind and a trailblazer by the 1950 s. it had become highly fashionable to customize mass produced cars like the v.w. beetle especially in the us the dune buggy trend was one example of mass produced beetles offered plenty of options for customization and they realize one is an automotive dreams those who pay made that abundantly clear so christopher thinks it's a milestone in automobile history. soon a volkswagen acknowledge the appeal of combining explicit car bodies and robust automobiles. technology in 1955 e w tash carmen was constructing the elegant karmann ghia based on the v.w. beetle for which the stylish stoled who crashed had essentially paved the way.
