worth it for me to come to germany. i got my license to work as a swimming instructor. for now our 2 children offered us describe our stuff to. what's your story take part charity on info migrants dot net. hello and welcome to drive in the d w motor magazine coming up it's like a laboratory for the future formula in berlin. we take a close look at opals new electric models. and test the audi as 7 sport back. in the car to stay on but he recalls that diesel engines are known for long

distance probably wasn't strong torque i might think that diesel scandals had all but stopped their development so it may be surprising to learn that out he is offering it sporty as models like he has 6 and he has 7 in europe only with newly developed diesel engines that calls for a closer look to find out what's really new about his diesel and how a dry. eye on didn't even want to use. 7 fans 3 sure shops not only is the new s 7 sport back losing its spark plugs but 2 of its cylinders replacing is for leader v. a gasoline engine with a 3 liter v 6 diesel but 1st things 1st. vs models front still has its familiar wine black single frame grill and scowling air intakes.

from the side the end has kept his characteristic of aluminum side near housing. and back and now supports the continuous white struve familiar from the a 7. and an all black diffuser and mad black tailpipe. so in terms of appearances little to nothing has changed. and said the real change is under the hood and switching to diesel audi's engineers 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 not the force in an average turbo charged car imagine 6 so a 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 virtually no turbo 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 to make for a lots of fun the technology is impressive as well. alongside the exhaust gas turbo charger and exhaust manifold the 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 when lots 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. become friends to 240 kilos the air is forced into the compression 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 to work. 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 you aluminum trim elements and contrast and stitching.

your own explains of the combination of electric super charger a v 6 turbo diesel and a 48 holding my own hybrid system that both drives the electric shubra charger and enables energy recuperation and i highly efficient start stop system with coasting functionality adds up to a quite decent fuel consumption audi rachid and 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 he 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 8 kilowatts from breaking it also allows for start stop operation from speeds as low as 22 kilometers per hour. hour and coasting for as long as 40 seconds that can save up

to 4 tenths of a leader of diesel per 100 kilometers. young concludes that the new n 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 the meaning of turbo lag. to be opel brand started its long journey an $899.00 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 make with the lightning bolt logo is going away trick alternative drive systems are nothing new for old poker as early as 1971 the electric g.t. achieved 88 kilowatts traveling at an average speed of 100 plus kilometers per hour

for over 44 kilometers on the how can i marine track. another was the 1992 astra impulse to 85 kilowatt electric drive was having but 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 all the time is right at its headquarters in time opel laid out its new strategy to over 300 international journalists by 2024 opel model ranges are to offer electric versions stepping up 1st from opals board fully 0 are the new battery electric cores eat. and the all wheel drive grand land axe. 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 is counting on the corsi 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 positioned very good and century in the car under the seating so in a really tomorrow's position so that gave us really the freedom to design a very sporty dynamic vehicle around those constraints so i think you know when you look at this vehicle most people would not believe that cell electric car because it looks so good and sporty you want. the course even 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 to accelerate from 0 to 50 kilometers per hour and 8 point one seconds they had 150 kilowatt hour battery can be recharged to 80 percent capacity within 30 minutes. the grand slam makes hybrid 4 has an all electric range of up to 52 kilometers according to the g.p.s. an average the missions have just 37 grams of c o 2 per kilometer order books for both models are open now and ground land next hybrid 4 stars are just under 50000 euros. and of course even just under $30000.00 in germany. toyota is putting their career back on the road in its 12th generation. why barack

it's simple and 2008 toyota remained at the towers in europe just to freshen things up now the name is back but the new karoly is fresher than ever with the 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 corolla shares with the prius and the c.r.-v. . the corolla looks back over 15 years of history from the 1st generation launched in 1986 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 of the optional twin tone paint and hence is 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 girl 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 corner accelerates from 0 to 100. per hour in 7.9 seconds

reaching a top speed of 180 kilometers per hour it can drive up to 150 kilometers per hour and. higher output version also has technology on board that can unleash the hybrids wildside. points out the corollas 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 kuril 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. offer is an exemplary range of safety

assistance and standards that can prevent collisions or mitigate their consequences . and germany the version we tested list for at least 35380 euros with cheaper equipment and the smaller hybrid the crew was also available from around 28000 euro . it could be described as a breezy purist the most wagon 1200 convertible internally the open topped v.w. beetle was given the rather dry bureaucratic designation type 15 nicknamed the punch buggy this car must have around more emotion than. any other car in the 20th

century my model for you i'm going to stick to stop our close 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 1980 over 330000 units were built and sold to fresh air and sunshine fans the world over. the w. kept steadily ratcheting up the horsepower eventually doubling it from an initial $25.00 to a maximum 50 or spouse or $37.00 kilowatts the beetle convertible kept modernising on the inside least. as far as crystals 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. but it's not that off the mark least one of the. as skip christof knows there are some designs that need no improvement only a minor touch ups are made to the body of the beetle convertible in the 31 years of its production but the 1200 convertible is based on the post 958 beetle with a rectangular rear window and somewhat larger front and rear windows this was v.w. used version of the facelift i got in 1959 they replaced the door levers with fixed door handles over a pushed. and in august $1060.00 the pop-up semaphores turn signals were replaced

with signal lights and so the simple tail lights may wait for those fat lights resembling an elephant's foot to get a phone tree says it's. been 1954 the beatles nitrile based paint was changed to synthetic resin paint models tones like this gravel gray dominated the color schemes of the 1950 s. and sixty's the top export model shone with far more chrome then the standard models on the dashboard for example. they got of course to notice that the well insulated top muffled the noises of traffic affectively making this beetle 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 engine is highly dependable and runs 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 top of what he wanted to show him . in if they think krista of 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 makers it may well have been this policy of holding on to the tried and tested had brought such a huge success 21500000 b. those were built with only small changes for years it was the world's most frequently build car and most frequently built convertible even had a hefty extra price over $330000.00. v.w.

convertibles were sold a record for the time how much it cost. when in 1978 votes wagon announced it was 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 1080 $1000.00 in stock rich stuff concludes that as a clash low status symbol the beetle convertible carried an entire genre from the pre-war era into the present the elegance 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 1200s place as a milestone of automotive history. open to golf one was the 1st convertible to match the veteran beetle 400000 sales made the gold one another record setting convertible for its time.

even some off the mortgage at an event like this brings them ability of the future it's a life for the public it's not only formula either it's captivating people here in berlin market 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 just. who will take the lead who will now take the groundbreaking 1st down together instead of individually not an easy task in germany well thought out concepts for transforming transporter 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 last small i not only have to drive a 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. vehicles if the electricity is coming from

a coal fired power plant call it off because. you know i think it's 1st and foremost up to the politicians to do something i believe we on the technical side are prepared for this with the formula the platform you can also give people an emotional understanding of. it's often been discussed in the past but. really just a matter of the hey is it only sustainable or is it also fun. now for the final countdown. for us well into the very important race track through.
