he sits in the pantheon of the great tennis circuit he's one for the ages. of 10 or 14. starts july 10th on t.w. . hello and welcome to drive in the d.w. motor magazine coming up inside like a laboratory for the future formula. we take a close look at opals new electric models. and test the audi as 7 sport back.

to jambo he recalls that diesel engines are known for long distance and strong torque i might think that diesel scandals had all but stopped their development so it may be surprising to learn that i already is offering it sporty as models like the s 6 and he has 7 and europe only with newly developed diesel engines that calls for a closer look to find out what's really new about this diesel and how it drives. the more toys. to 7 fans 3 sure shops not only is the new s 7 sport back losing his spark plugs but 2 of its cylinders replacing is for leader v 8 gasoline engine with a 3 leader v 6 diesel but 1st things 1st. the s. models front still has its familiar wide black single frame grill and scowling air intakes.

from the side the yes has kept his characteristic a little numb side mirror housing. and back and now sports the continuous flights through familiar from the 87. and an all black diffuser and mad black tail pipe trim. so in terms of appearances little to nothing has changed. and you said the real changes under the hood in switching to diesel audi's engine ears paired an electrically controlled super charger with a $48.00 volt mild hybrid system the 3 liter the sixty's all puts out a total of $257.00 kilowatts and generates maximum torque of a whopping 700 meters so what's it like to drive and how does the electric super

charger affect it but the force in an average turbo charged car imagine $61.00 ratio would be fairly straightforward step on the gas the engine revs higher there's a moment of turbo lag and off you go but with its electric super charger the s 7 has ridgeley no lack so no matter what the speed range weather in stop and go traffic coming up from rock bottom revs just put the pedal down and the $700.00 newton metres make for a lots of fun the technology is impressive as well. alongside the exhaust gas turbo charger and exhaust manifold electric super charger is mounted on the engine in the charge air duct just behind the intercooler most of the time the electric super charger is bypassed. but one watts of power is needed

and not enough energy is available from the turbo charger the bypass valve is closed to divert the intake air to the electric super charger. compressed to 240 kilos the air is forced into the convention chamber the electric super charger kicks in to support the turbo charger whenever it's not able to deliver sufficient power to provide the necessary tour. for the interior out he's going with the virtual cockpit and central infotainment screen even moving the switches for the climate control onto a touchscreen display of their own. optimally here again the s. models retain their traditional look inside with dark use aluminum trim elements and contrast and stitching.

the combing through your own explains of the combination of electric super charger a v 6 turbo diesel and a 48 holding mild hybrid system that both drives the electric shubra charger and enables energy recuperation and a highly efficient start stop system with coasting functionality adds up to a quite decent fuel consumption audi rachid at 6.5 leaders for the s 7 he himself managed about 8 leaders but most of the time he was pushing the car to see what it could do. while the electric super charger helps to enhance performance a mild hybrid system helps to reduce fuel consumption it's made up of a 10 ampere hour lithium ion battery and a belt driven alternator starter the system can recover up to eat kilowatts from breaking it also allows for a start stop operation from speeds as low as 22 kilometers per hour. and coasting

for as long as 40 seconds that can save up to 4 tenths of a leader of diesel per 100 kilometers. about young concludes that the new s 7 looks quite smart and has the power and comfort he needs to cover thousands of kilometers with us and this as t.d.i. doesn't even know what to the meaning of turbo. the opel brand started its long journey in 899 with a patent motor car and for 120 years the german car maker has kept production chugging along now opel is facing a major overhaul the maker with the lightning bolt logo is going away trick alternative drive systems are nothing new for old both as early as 1971 the electric g t h e 88 kilowatts traveling at an average speed of 100 plus kilometers

per hour for over 44 kilometers how can i marine track. another was the 1992 astra impulse to be 85 kilowatt electric drive was having only 225 kilograms more than the internal combustion version even so the world just wasn't yet ready for the arrival of electric drive. now the time is ripe at its headquarters in time opel laid out its new strategy to over $300.00 international journalists by 2024 opel model rangers are to offer electric versions stepping up 1st from opals board fully open are the new battery electric corsi. and the all wheel drive grand land of action. the brand's 1st plug in hybrid. the

course it is old bulls most popular model and one of the best selling cars in europe opel is counting on the course easy to make electric drive not only practical and convenient but affordable to the average buyer. the key architect of the c.m. the architecture of it is just built on had electrification built into that architecture from the very beginning so the package of this has the batteries position very good and century in the car under the seating sort of in a really tamar's position so that gave us really the freedom to design a very sporty dynamic vehicle around i was concerned so i think you know when you look at this vehicle most people would not believe it sounded like chicago because it looked so good and sporty and what. the course puts out $100.00 kilowatts of power and offers an all electric range of up to 330 kilometers by the worldwide

light vehicles test procedure it takes only 2.8 seconds 2 of celery from 0 to 50 kilometers per hour and 8 point one seconds to hit 150 kilowatt hour battery can be recharged to 80 percent capacity within 30 minutes. that grandma makes hybrid for has an all electric range of up to 52 kilometers according to the . an average commissions for just 37 grams of c o 2 per kilometer order books for both models are open now a grand slam next hybrid for starts at just under $50000.00 euros. and of course even just under $30000.00 in germany. toyota is putting their career back on the road and its 12th generation. it's

simple and 2008 toyota renamed it the hours in europe just to freshen things up now the name is back but the new karoly is fresher than ever with a lower center of gravity a new seating position with revised steering wheel depth and with a new design language underpinning all this is a new platform that the coalition years with the prius and the c.r.-v. . corolla looks back over 50 years of history from the 1st generation launched in 1966 to the present day it has remained faithful to its original concept a car that combines high quality ability and reliability with a comfortable driving experience. the new generation is meant to build on these values there's a sedan and

a station wagon but we're testing the 5 door hatchback it's longer and wider than the previous generation and it's wheel base is 4 centimeters longer which means more freedom of movement in the interior the optional twin tone paint and hand says the dynamic effect here with a black roof. the crew is no longer available with a diesel engine and stead the base model has a small $85.00 kilowatt gasoline engine but the kuril is toyota's 1st vehicle would 2 hybrids to choose from one design for more economical driving and one that is more dynamic we tested the more powerful $132.00 kilowatt version. of. the current similar raise from 0 to one who. per hour in 7.9 seconds

reaching a top speed of 180 kilometers per hour it can drive up to 150 kilometers per hour on. the higher output version also has technology onboard that can unleash the hybrids wildside. drive modes he notices a clear difference between sport plus and comfort moat the steering is more direct and the adaptive suspension tighter and the karelia uses noticeably more gash he thinks 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and 7.9 seconds definitely sets a standard for cars in this class. for the interior toyota offers 3 trim levels with numerous options to choose from we tested the highest. exemplary range of safety

assistance in standard that can prevent collisions or mitigate their consequences. and germany the version we tested list for at least 35380 euros which cheaper equipment and the smaller hybrid the crew was also available from around 28000 euro . it could be described as a breezy purist the wagon 1200 convertible internally the open top v.w. beetle was given the rather dry bureaucratic designation type 15 nicknamed the punch buggy this car most of around was more emotion than. any other car in the

20th century i bought in for you we're going to stick to stump our clothes v.w. zone advertising slogan for the convertible from the mid 1950 s. a car for young people of every age the 1st beatle convertible rolled off coachbuilder carmen's assembly line in 1949 and it kept on rolling and rolling for over 30 years until 980 over 330000 units were built and sold to fresh air and sunshine fans the world over 150 horsepower or 37 kilowatts the beetle convertible kept modernising on the inside at least. as far as crystal is concerned nothing compares with the beatles handling the steering is easy and direct the boxer engine mounted on the rear axle makes for all the traction unique approach sure from back in the day describes the 1200 as uncompromisingly sporty could be that as it may you have to shift quickly because the engine reaches the

maximum torque of 76 newton meters at 2000 rpm and peak performance at 3400 r.p.m. after that the car doesn't get any faster only louder. i thought that off to mark least a lot. as skipped christof knows there are some designs that need no improvement only minor touch ups are made to the body of the beetle convertible in the 31 years of its production but the 1200 convertible was based on the post 958 beetle with a rectangular rear window and somewhat larger front and rear windows this was v.w. version of the facelift i got in 1959 they replaced the door levers with fixed door handles over a push button and in august 1960 the pop up semaphores turn signals were replaced with signal lights and so the simple tail lights made way for those. lights

resembling an elephant's foot if she says it's. been 1954 the beatles nitrile based paint was changed to synthetic resin paint models tones like this gravel green dominated the color schemes of the 1950 s. and sixty's the top export model shone with far more chrome than the standard models on the dashboard for example. a gallup poll kristof knows that the well insulated top muffled the noises of traffic affectively making this beagle 2 cars and one so aside from the weather can be another good reason to put the top up to shut out the rattling from the now legendary 4 cylinder boxer enchanted it's highly dependable and run smoothly and free of vibrations but with a very assertive background noise so it might be a good idea to give the years a break now and then but with an automaton in the up it's what he wanted to show

and. if they think christopher explains that in the 1960 s. the powerful head of v.w. finally nordoff that set the course focusing on improving details and stead of making radical innovations and he made volkswagen europe's top earning car maker it may well have been this policy of holding on to the tried and tested that pride such a huge success 21500000 beatles were built with only small changes for years it was the world's most frequently built car and most frequently built a convertible even at a hefty extra price over $330000.00 v.w. convertibles were sold a record for the time of the car. when in 1978 most wagon announced it was to. terminating production of the beetle convertible it caused an uproar

among fans even so the last convertible rolled off the assembly line on january 10th $180000.00 and stoppage have concludes that as a clash with status symbol the beetle convertible carried an entire genre from the pre-war era into the present the elegant he had fuel efficient open topped 4 seater is still lots of fun to drive and takes part of the credit for today's ongoing convertible boom that secures the 1200 as a milestone of automotive history. the open time golf one was the 1st convertible to match the veteran beetle 400000 sales made the gold one another record setting convertible for its time. we here in bed in the 2nd biggest city in europe.

how. good is the solution this one becomes the more those problems. it is the mission which consistent. with what time is running out and it's very important that we do something about it and everyone should do that bit and if everyone did a little something from it will be really big. east asia seems not the final countdown. of what i make popcorn i put on popcorn in the popcorn machine and then nothing happens and that little of a sudden it starts going pop pop pop we're going to experience that popping in and i asked of 20 years. what better place to stay to race using don't look for the. technology early in germany.

formulae heath a green racing series up close and personal motor sport is coming to the city and with it and awareness of sustainability. it's not just fun it's incredibly exciting as you can get closer than a formula mine and figure out if that's what they're really exciting on the top spot it's something different you know life it's a road race it's like monaco in formula one and up all night i mean just the environmental fitness and it says it differs in the future. just to see what the reaction the cars occurring in yeah and what performance if you go out and it's and it's interesting. what's the outlook for the mobility of the future is certainly one of the greatest challenges of our time for government and industry so in the event i'm off to be more get it out of events like this brings them ability of the future to life with the public it's not only formula events captivating people here

in berlin marking moment we're also feeding the fascination with new products so that the public can get a tangible idea of what the mobility of the future is some of it if it's a participant. who will take the lead who will now take the groundbreaking 1st step together instead of individually not an easy task in germany well thought out concepts for transforming transport are needed it was it was also i have to be able to drive a mission for you that's the one sentence that sums it up that was more i not only have to drive the mission free but the vehicle itself must be manufactured in an environmentally neutral manner and the energy must also be produced a made available in an environmentally neutral way but of course this means it makes no sense to only have battery powered electric vehicles or if the electricity is coming from a coal fired power plant call it off they're called. you

know i think it's 1st and foremost up to the politicians to do something i believe that we on the technical side are prepared for this with the formula the platform you can also give people an emotional understanding of each it's often been discussed in the past but it is really just a matter of the head but is it only sustainable or is it also fun. now for the final. piece you see here. for us well into the very important race track. rick perry informally was here 2 years ago and in front of the reporters i'll never forget it and i call myself it's been one. of the experienced drivers i'm

really looking forward to seeing them on the podium we're going to. have. already taken post positions put on the podium missing now is my 1st victory. thoroughly.

lucas degrassi of audi in the leet sebastian boy a me of new son in 2nd and mahindra despite their optimism and pass excess and berlin my interest drivers come away empty handed this time. in the end the indian team has to settle for 10th and 17th place a bit of a disappointment. what would you. call that a good story. but the victory for. brazilian lukas degrassi wins the berlin formula erase the high point of an amazing we can't. 3 assume success i'm so happy we are great winners the expo is jam packed tens of thousands of visitors could be happy.

overall for us at least 200 program is really important we can dig what we learn and put it all down the road as soon as possible and that's something which is important to. the woman who did your mobility shouldn't mean doing without something it has to enrich us it has to be fun mobility is becoming more versatile as long as a remains as clean as our product electric and emission free period. then you know if everyone did it little something it'd be a really big. and next time i drive we put mercy museum she's muscular and she'll see 63. as to the

test. and take she eyes and she'll leave family on a journey through their home country spain.
