what kentucky. child. 3060 minutes. story that people are for information they provide. the fans they want to express g w on facebook and twitter up to date and in touch follow us and. welcome to drive it the d w motor magazine this time an electric car made to measure we just the micro the know from switzerland. seen on its 1st natural gas powered s.u.v. t.g.i.

and the new range rover evoque. the early 2000 were not a good time for land rover the future of the british brand was in doubt ford sold the company at a big loss to india's tata group but the new owners had faith in the company's ability to innovate and let its designers develop a completely new car. the result was the range rover evoque which rescued the entire company and kicked up a storm on the s.u.v. market. the bag the bathtub. ablaze. then got into a car to store young butcher says that was because most s.u.v.s at that time look too. like moving refrigerators. came out of the market with a fresh design and

a sloping roof line and quickly became the land rovers best seller with over 800000 units sold worldwide today it is considered one of the innovators of the s.u.v. class and has been showered with numerous awards now the british are launching the 2nd generation evoke we'll see if it has what it takes to build on the successes of the 1st generation. outside you have to do a double take to tell the old from the new but the familiar proportions do see the 2nd generation of the evoke has worked really no parts from the 1st and sits on a completely new platform the goal is to keep it simple clear lines and smooth surfaces. and so the extendable door handles are only visible if you need them.

yun says as beautiful as the exterior design of the evoke me being with its sloping roof line the whole thing has one drawback because of the design there's not really much resembling and the rear window is quite small but landrover thought of that and built a camera into the roof in it you can fold the rearview mirror to see the rear view image but he says he wouldn't want to use this permanently won't bing because it looks slightly unnatural to him you have these images in the mirror all the time but it's especially helpful when maneuvering because they camera image has a significantly wider angle and so you just see more than you could with a normal mirror alone. then. it's why that's what the speaker biased media. 32 leader turbo

diesel and 2 gasoline engines are available with an output from 112221 kilowatt to increase efficiency all engines except for the entry level diesel have a 48 volt mild hybrid system it stores energy recovered during braking and a battery in the vehicle for this is then re used to support acceleration. he says although the evoque has a little turbo lag it then gets moving rather quickly and this during feels pleasantly direct and the chassis also feels will tune both in relaxed cruising and at a slightly faster pace only when hitting fast curbs can it no longer completely hide its 2 ton weight. evoke shows that luxury 10 be sustainable with its high quality interior besides

leather wool is available as easy eucalyptus but that interior might not be completely landrover is not currently able to guarantee that no animal products are used. in the hunted look so young sums up by saying that in terms of luxury and design nothing quite comes up to the 2nd generation of evoke among the compact s.u.v.s and so its success story should continue unabated. how much car do you really need and what does real sustainability mean in mobility these were the questions a start up company in switzerland asked. i'm

all over let's go with my brother merlin likely no project. which is part of michael mobility systems company our father founded in the ninety's inventing the 1st exclusive. you're focusing on a small electric city car kind of a special use kind of here full time taking a motorbike. and it began with a simple question it. how much car do you really need for a mobility for baby driving we kind of like look into this the g.'s mix and you should be on average the car is occupied by just 1.2 people and drives the daily difference of 35 kilometers most cars have 5 seats big are s.u.v.s nowadays and he said i how can it be that actually the use case is completely different to

the products that are on the market we also look at the past and we saw that in the system if there were these bubble cars until very popular the biggest of them this was that's out. there were for people they were more comfortable than a motor bike but the people couldn't get ford a real car so this was their upgrade in terms of you know whether protective mobility was an upgrade to its a motorbike and were amazed by those concepts because they were they were so interesting and so i mean so actually and that's kind of like for us when we said like ok you need to be small and that and simple like that all cars from the fifty's. is what worked 60 years ago perhaps the solution for today small light and this time electric cars with a range of up to 200 kilometers next year the micro leno is expected to hit the market 15000 or already reserved.

it was a nice analogy made file and had a list for michael mobility and he said you know we don't need to think about making a better car we need to think about making a worse car and i kind of like the idea because you really need to strip the car from all of that stuff that is actually not important that makes it heavy that makes it complicated makes it expensive and really break it down to hey what do people really want from a car. but immobility isn't just about small efficient cars then is hosting formula eve this weekend electric race cars with 250 to one engines roaring to the finish line at 250 kilometers an hour. and in the middle of it all the micro leno leaving the track just before the race begins. if you say yeah it's an electric car and i could stand it well i think this is the wrong answer because it really depends on the concept so for example the micro you know with the battery weighs less than just

a battery of electric vehicle from from a holiday in. many visitors to the big car makers boots ask them what sustainability really does and even in the shadow world formulate the micro be no use well received. the important thing about after about a year is that it makes electric mobility emotional in a way so it's kind of gives it it takes the mobility out of this corner where people just say oh you just do it because it's eco friendly you know they show that it can also be fun and it can also be really exciting and this is kind of the purpose the purpose of the event and that's why we also like being here. formulate maybe a look refined the crowds but what is important in everyday life. if you really want to be eco friendly you need to think from a point of hey how much car do i really need what type of vehicle do i. really need

to i really need a car. electric because it turns out for years and it wasn't that cool you know when tesla started that kind of like became more and more. let's say cool as well so that you know you drive around with an electric vehicle and you you forget about it that's what changed this. and that's what the 2 swiss brothers are counting. following the success of its i 30 and she and i decided to release a 2nd compact sports car we take a closer look at this new hatchback version of the i 30 fastback an. answer it's based on the successful i 30 m. version the i 31st back and it is powered by the same 202 kilowatt 2 leader 4

cylinder engine on top of that the n.c. reis comes with a lot of high tech goodies to give a hint don't motor sports excitement even on ordinary trips your night by the contest or lewis combo says you die is usually known for its dependable cars with low fuel consumption but with the i 30 m. they opened up a whole new chapter and the i 31st back and aims to take things even further. louis's going to find out how funny it used to drive as well as how practical it is in everyday situations. technical extras for the end series include a sports suspension with undoubtable shock absorbers as well as the end corner of carving differential aimed at increasing traction and preventing understeer.

loses that behind the wheel you even mediately notice the sporty origins of the i 30 fastback and the sound from the exhaust is really impressive and ought to thrill any sports car fado but it can also drive quietly to thanks to the variable throttle system built into the sports exhaust says you simply need to touch a button on the menu screen to make the exhaust a lot quieter. seen from the front of the new end model looks nearly it denser cold to its namesake the fast back end is a quick through the cascade trade grille and the end logo reminiscent of a twisty race course both typical june die features. from the side the differences become more apparent the hatchbacks roofline starts slowly descending from them people are on words ending with an integrated spoiler at the rear. of the car tester luis immediately notices they have unique pay like for me but he

wonders about what it means 1st place on the back seat and whether it would be possible to fit for a 5 people into the car. lewis says there's enough room in the back for people as tall as he is around 175 centimeters he could even imagine sitting here for a longer journey given that there's enough like our own and head. he says the trunk is a roomy 450 liter easily allowing for people to travel together with their luck. the fastback can fit about 50 liters more than the hatchback version of the seats are foldable in both versions with the same wheel base the fast track is 12 centimeters longer which makes it appear more elegant. there are clear interior differences to the original i 30 the fastback has

a sports like steering wheel with the end the logo and contrast thing seems which are also found on the seats and fear not the 8 inch touch screen with audio system are standard while the steering wheel offers a choice between different driving mode so. there are hardly any differences when it comes to performance specs both end models use the same $202.00 kilowatt to leader 4 cylinder gasoline engine. compared to the strongest gasoline engine on the regular i 30 fastback model the n.

has one student double the power in excel reads from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour 3 seconds faster. it's not. just the performance that justifies the additional $10000.00 euro's in price in germany. it was impressed by the diverse range of settings the adaptable shock absorbers for instance can be adjusted to the road conditions there by changing the driving dynamics and stability this can be done with just one push of the button. a rover matching function adds to the sporty feel. the i 30 fastback and is a very emotional car just like it stablemate it provides a good balance between everyday use and driving pleasure and price the just over 30000 euro's it's even relatively affordable.

if the total darkness car tester emmanuel schaefer says that's what the night would look like if everyone suddenly switched to electric vehicles all those miracles charging would cause the power grid to collapse and we would sit in the dark but what alternatives will there be to keep things moving quote and also environmentally friendly that's what he's going to look at today. one of these alternatives is this car it looks completely normal. but it's a very special model the world's 1st natural gas powered s.u.v. the sea and t.g.i. . the identity the amount of oil says there are currently 2 types of gas available l.p.g. and c n g c n n a. gas powered vehicles are already available in various

sizes and classes from different manufacturers but they haven't really made it onto the mass market even though they have some clear benefits. and. i know. he says in principle both l.p.g. and c n g burn much cleaner than gasoline or diesel l.p.g. stands for liquefied petroleum gas it's a byproduct of gasoline refining c. and g. stands for compressed natural gas and as the name suggests it's natural it comes from the earth and the of the islands i had to escape through a compressed natural gas. its name is that you would have come to us they add on both up the bomb. another benefit of c.n. cheney is its special properties. vehicle girded maria berger says gas has a very high energy content engine is a premium fuel with $130.00 octane so much power in the fuel means low consumption

all the emissions and low costs and the energy efficiency is also very high even significantly above diesel at the $850.00 fuel stations that offer this alternative fuel in germany it's much cheaper than gasoline or diesel. he shows how the refueling process is only slightly different compared to conventional and you open the flap here and on poke the nozzle. put it in the hold and which you've locked it into place with a handle here then you start the refueling process here by pressing about. the are all those natural gas tank holds just under 14 kilograms enough to travel around 350 kilometers. but c. and g. doesn't always have to be pumped out of the ground it can also be produced from other roma cheerios and plants like this one run by audi in northern germany it's

an eco friendly option you know what time is the moment she says renewable natural gas is currently gaining ground in germany and that means virtually climate in your promotability by the 90 percent reduction of c o 2 emissions right now a straw. all is the main role material. but we can ferment nearly everything organic in the bio gas plant and bring it to the fuel station via the pipeline network. and those pipelines mean the fuel does not have to be transported by road anymore unlike gasoline or diesel the sharing of he says the nice thing about switching from a conventional car to a natural gas car is that you don't even notice that so if you sit and hit you still have the same feeling when driving the same noise because there's still an internal combustion engine under the hood you only see the difference if you look at the dash you have to separate displays for the c. engine tank and a reserve tank on the line that in the end has ever been seen to. cross

and emanuel says he thinks c. and g. vehicles are currently the best alternative for individual mobility sure there are electric cars but as he said if everyone switched to them right away it would overload the power grid and worst of all charging them still takes a lot of time and that's not the case with c.b. n.-g. . the starting price for a seattle rhona t.g.i. is just under $20000.00 euros in germany. the trentino region of northern italy and its capital trying to a spectacular backdrop for a true legend of motor sports history the majestic bentley 4 and a half leader so i'm basically stuck to start up 1st you have to press enter into a blockbuster bring the ignition magneto's into the right position to being done

then you turn on the gasoline pump and use the levers to adjust the hand throttle and free ignition warts and all and a little part attention mounts says christophe gets ready to roll took one hit him stock up. nice but here. settings oh dear but christophe gives it another go. me. being back in the roaring twenty's almost a century ago this nimble 2 ton giant was a favorite toy among playboy powered by a monster engine it makes every 2nd down the road an adventure and every curve a hair racer. there's no replacement for displacement i suppose it's indeed the words of i don't know them all turn only been flagged known as w o o the engineer and founder of the car company had little time for

factors such as vehicle weights air resistance or comfortable handling if a car was too slow the answer was a bigger engine and in the case of bentley those power plants went up to 8 leaders . just get all of the business will possibly have moved all. the unit inside the bentley 4 and a half meter packed just the 4 cylinders but a capacity of 4.4 leaders it's 110 horsepower to take the main machine to a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour by $927.00 standards and out of this world figure. all of us bought got the best motor sports and luxury we're perfectly compatible for bentley explains christophe that meant the battleships maintain cricklewood near london had to deliver on the race track true in the mid 1920 s. bentleys 3 leader moto had won the 24 hour of lamont twice but was no longer

cutting it a more modern but awfully heavy 6.5 liter model when 3 tires quicker than you could change them up basically solution cutting 2 cylinders out of the 6.5 meter and the legend was born on the bentley floor in the. half leader to come up with. the bentley 4 and a half leader was made full among the no nonsense beefcake grit its way around lap after lap wolf and bernard beamed took turns of the wheel to move the famous clump of wealthy motorists known as the bentley boys. after 24 hours and almost 2700 kilometers at full throttle the bentley crossed the line 1st despite suffering a broken chassis a triumph for the prestigious british brand. and original bentley 4 and a half meter will easily set you back a 1000000 euros plus today it comes with

a fully adjustable friction dampers headlights with stone guards and tiny windshields. the drum brakes on all 4 wheels are not that effective while the small leather clad seats offer little in the way of lateral support. the cord wrapped steering wheel would look at home on an ocean liner bridge and it takes so muscle to operate. it not as tough as they cast iron engine alone weighs about as much as a modern small car mr bentley started out as a locomotive designer of course 4 cylinders a 4.4 liter displacement 110 horsepower i don't looks a bit old fashioned now but this car was ahead of its time christopher calls the 60 involved legal turning up in the 1980 s. here 4 cylinders with 4 valves each equals 16 volves 60 years before the likes of

the gong. this bentley has 4 extra ignition plugs on board it wasn't until the 1930 use that high performance cars no longer needed free ignition plugs the bentley. 4 and a half meters same gin generates up to $4000.00 r.p.m. but even as minimal revs this awesome beast of yesteryear pumps only a monumental torque. my little had a pre-war bentley looks like a relic from a bygone era when brute force ruling a dinosaur in the evolution of sports cars but nonetheless this british bulldog had some pretty sophisticated engineering the potentially 4 and a half meter is indisputable play on milestone in automotive history and the data come on if they do sound that bad they did come up and feed up my it's time now that would be interesting to. unfortunately the bentley 4 and a half liter has always been and only 2 rare sites production between

198-7931 totaled 54 were models and just 668 regular editions of this iconic beast. next time on dry goods many goes electric the mini cooper se is here. and elegance with tradition we test the mercedes class coupe big.
