let's look at this way it's like me says the 15 nations 50 story and 50 fairly personal tips on berlin's very best. coverage d.w. . are low and welcome to drive a v.w. motor magazine coming up a record breaking hill climb at the goodwood festival of speak. many goes electric the world premiere of the mini cooper s. week. and sports car meets s.u.v. a new audi has q 8. has been here car tester close needs of its use in the pyrenees southern france on

the pass 700 meters up on a road often used by the tour de france cyclist but he certainly didn't have to pedal the new audi as q.a. to get up here the s. stands for the sporting as provided by a whopping 435 horsepower and now klaus is going to give us a little sample on some mail involve citing that smug. traditionally audi only hangs the s. badge on it sports models but this is a good sized s.u.v. can it really deliver what we'd expect from a true s. model. but i don't close admits right off that an audi q 8 is a hefty car but this is the class more and more buyers are going for it offers lots of room and lots of comfort now they're offering moret. and this one the eschewing

and scorning has to the equation if he's going to say if it adds up i thought this guy had to acknowledge it. and terms of performance the s. q.h. $320.00 kilowatts definitely qualify as a sports car and lives from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour inches 4.8 seconds. visit on foot doesn't come from a gasoline engine but from a turbo charged v.a. diesel the only engine available for the eschewing. the bad and i think close wonders why out in chose to put a diesel in the s.q.l. the engineers must have known what they're doing these hills are powerful this one achieves 435 horsepower and 900 new meters or torque how do you reach fuel consumption at less than 8 leaders per 100 kilometers close up used a bit less of the 9 leaders so he kept his foot on the gas a v. 8 engine has 4 liters displacement off the top speed is capped at 250 kilometers

per hour on the highway it's fast 0 to 100 kilometer per hour sprint makes it easy to forget this car waste 2.4 times. all that power comes to the road through an 8 speed tiptronic got a many transmission working without a hitch to make sure the s.q.a. has enough thrust available at every river a nj audi give it to turbo charge one for the lower range and one for the effort. but not one close steps on the gas he gets anybody in response and the lower reverentially plenty of pickup in the upper one there is yet another smaller electronically driven turbo charger the gives the saudi is a mild hybrid system with a big starter motor drives the engine with a belt when you turn the ignition and once the car's moving the electric energy is used to give it a little extra push when it's celebrating that it is. one of them on the wall say

at. the show any get out of. q.a. drivers might bring really go offroad when they do the 25 centimeters clearance is nice to have. on the old side the s.q. it stands out from it's known as siblings primarily by the sporty design of his bumpers. b l e v headlights are standard as an option they can be replaced with matrix and we get headlights. toward the rear the roofline t. person ear coupe a body style and a quad exhaust tips make for a striking conclusion. to be interior has no shortage of shiny trim or occasion to polish it clean but at least the result has a high quality ambiance. toward

scene search standard but klaus is nestled into the optional as seats with even better lateral support. the 605 metres of cargo space extends to a maximum 1755 meters. but it's not close hardly needs to mention this eschewing has all wheel drive and it's electronically controlled in addition of roll stability control can be ordered to electronic stabilizers one in front and one in back keep the car from rolling excessively encourages these are fitted with electric motors that in just the stiffness of the sway bars so the ride may be relatively soft or relatively hard depending on condition of the buyer can also choose between 21 and 22 inch wheels this test car has 22 insurance he says not only do they look nice they also make for a good. good handling. in spite of its weight the s.u.v.

roans curves with grace thanks to the standard drive select dynamic handling system and the adaptive air suspension sport with regulated damping and the weight does have his plus sights those being greater stability and comfort known technically as the mass moment of inertia. that's me close was surprised at how incredibly agile the s.u.v. seems and hard changes of direction he believes it's partly because of the engine characteristics and partly because of the suspension it since the car hardly rolls when taking curves at high speed it gives the impression of being lighter than it is so nice to stabilizers noticeably reduce the subject you feeling the weight of. the askew 8 may handle like a sports car but it rides like a luxury car and a ray of drivers assistance systems take on some of the work and stress the

principle assists are standard in the eschewing for example decrease in system which applies the brakes in an emergency situation. the out social clubs concludes by asking who could have imagined just 10 or 15 years ago such a big heavy vehicle as for sports car and it actually drives like a sports car and has sports car features and equipment you can cruise down the highway or thunder over country roads it's a car people can have fun but that fun comes at a price nearly 100000 euros for the basic model i don't want to. making a splash on the big stage mini reveals its new baby in rotterdam we all. electric mini cooper and this 0 emissions model has arranged between 235

and 270 kilometers and still has all those you have a classic mini feeling motor packs 135 kilowatts of power and delivers a maximum 270 new meters of torque the electric mini has been in the pipeline for a long time so why now. well cars some of them on this clearly there are now infrastructure is there in many markets so that's also why we are here for example for the global launch of the mini electric in rotterdam in the netherlands an example of a markets where the infrastructure for electrification is in france and therefore also the share of electrified vehicles is already quite significant so today the market is there the technology is also there so we can offer their right interior space. and also

a good electric range going hand in hand so that's why today the time is right for the mini electric. mini had already designed an electric model train years ago but it never made it to show ropes around 500 were billed as part of mini's pilot project to push forward with emissions free driving and development of the necessary infrastructure. even carried out trials with public charging stations in the u.s. and europe but the focus from practicality and user friendly. floss to many electric was always meant to be more than a call to be part of an electric ecosystem and that's why we have a lot of us in this $360.00 degree electric ecosystem that make it more than a call for example we have p a tokyo cars sharing the possibility of. this week it

was friends and family and with that we also pay into the community aspect of the brand. the standard electric mini jumps from 0 to 60 kilometers an hour in around 4 seconds and to $100.00 in just over 7 seconds as is typical for an electric motor full torque is available right from the get go power is transmitted to the front wheels via a single stage transmission with integrated differential reaching the top speed of 150 kilometers an hour. having no gas or diesel engine to accommodate opened a brand new scope for design. therefore we were able to focus on the tests like the grid so we do have still the hexagon out shape but due to the fact that there is not a combustion engine behind we need much less air so perfect is either meant for us but it's almost close to just one horizontal bar as an air intake. the standard

3 door mini served as the basis for the electric model in fact when the company developed the latest version they already have an all electric variant in mind the high voltage better reached will modules are arranged in 18 shape underneath the floor between the french seats and under the rear seats without compromising on space inside the car the charging port is above the right rear wheel or the cap for gas or diesel is located in the standard 3 door mini and of course there's no need for exhaust pipes on the electric motor. another the details that it's really important to us it's that we're so. entirely new design that is from a technological part of fuel much more modern than normal wheels so we do have inserts that improve the aerodynamics of the car. a fission c. is the. game of at least for 3 of the 4 driving modes it also has what's known as

the one pedal feeling a typical trait of electric cars as soon as you lift your foot off the accelerator the car slows down and the electric engine converts kinetic energy into electricity and feeds it back into the high voltage battery in sport mode the electric many provide sharper responses and steering while many an electric go hand in hand because many is of course very urban electrification offers a false way to improve air quality in cities and many end electrification also very much fits driving. many electric drives like the go cart you expect also many to be so it's a great combination and a big milestone for the b.m.w. group's electrification strategy. the b.m.w. group hopes to have $25.00 electric models on the market by 2023 the new mini
