past 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 to the ends stands for the sportiness provided by a whopping 435 horsepower and now klaus is going to give us a little sample on some mail involve. traditionally audi only hangs the x. badge and sports models but this is a good sized s.u.v. can it really deliver what we've expect from a true s. model. but i did 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 mortgages. and this one the s.q.l.

as sporting as 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 as it is from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and has 4.8 seconds. is on foot doesn't come from a gasoline engine but from a turbo charged to be a diesel the only engine available for the eschewing. the madden i think close wonders why out he chose to put a diesel in the s.q.l. the engineers must have known what they're doing diesels are powerful this one achieves 435 horsepower and 900 meters of torque how do you reach fuel consumption at less than 8 leaders per 100 kilometers klaus used a bit less than one leader and he kept his foot on the gas a v 8 engine has 4 leaders displaced after the top speed is capped at 250

kilometers per hour on the highway it's fast 0100 kilometer per hour sprint makes it easy to forget this car waste $2.00 turns. 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. 8 has enough thrust available at every river and how to give it to turbochargers one for the lower range and one for the effort. but close steps on the gas against anybody in response in the lower wherever ancient plenty of pickup in the upper one there is yet another smaller electronically driven turbo charger they 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 off the electric energy is used to give it a little extra push when accelerating but it will. one of the money. then did.

the show any going on i don't want to visit a liquor store. q a driver is my prayer lee 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 its bumpers. the l.e.d. headlights are standard as an option they can be replaced with me tricks and we get headlights. toward the rear the roofline t. person in your coupe a body style and the quad exhaust tips make for a striking conclusion. here has no shortage of shiny trim or occasion to polish it clean but at least the result has a high quality ambience. restored

seats are standard but klaus is nestled into the optional as seats with even better lateral support. the 605 liters of cargo space extends to a maximum 1755 meters. but it's not close hardly needs to mention this as q.a. has all wheel drive and it's electronically controlled in addition of roll stability control can be ordered to electronic stabilizers one in france one in back keep the car from rolling excessively incur these are fitted with electric motors that is 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 and shrimp so it's not only do they look nice they also make for a good. handling. in spite of its weight the s.u.v.

roans curves with grace thanks to the standard audi drive select dynamic handling system and the adaptive air suspension sports with regulated damping and the weight does have its plus sights those being greater stability and comfort known technically as the match moment of inertia. close to surprise at how incredibly agile the s.u.v. seems in a hard changes of direction he believes is partly because of the engine characteristics and partly because of the suspension 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 even feeling the weight of. the s q 8 me handle like a sports car but you're right it's like a luxury car and a ray of driver's assistant systems take on some of the work and stress the

principle assist our standard in the ask you a poor example of the pre-sent system which applies the brakes in an emergency situation. to out so if you close concludes by asking who could have imagined just 10 or 15 years ago such a big heavy vehicle as your sports car and it actually drives like a sports car it has sports car features and equipment you can cruise down the highway or thunder over country roads as a car people can have fun with it but that fun comes at a price of nearly 100000 euros for the basic model i don't want to tell if this is . making a splash on the big stage reveals its new b.b. in rotterdam we all. mini cooper and this 0 emissions model has arranged between

235 and 270 kilometers and still has all the zip of a classic mini feeling great 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 because some of the miles 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 at vons and therefore also the share of electrified vehicles is already quite significant so today the market is there but their knowledge 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 pad already designed in the electric model 10 years ago but it never made it to show ropes around 500 were built as part of minis pilot project to push forwards with emissions free driving and development of the necessary infrastructure they even carried out trials with public charging stations in the u.s. and europe but the focus on practicality and user friendliness. the 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. we have yet to share in the possibility it. 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 up 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 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 batteries 12 modules are arranged in each key shape underneath the floor between the french seats and under the rear seats without compromising on space inside the car the churching port is a boat the right rear wheel or the cab for gas or diesel is located in the standard 3 door many and of course there's no need for exhaust pipes on the electric motor. another detail that is really important to us it's that we're so entirely new design that is from i think a lot cheaper part of fuel much more more than the normal wheels so we do have inserts that improve it and i mix off the cobs. a fish and see if the game. of at

least 2 or 3 of the 4 driving no it also has what's known as the one titled feeling a typical trait of electric cars as soon as you lift your foot off the accelerator the car slows down 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 and then hands because many is of course very urban electrification offers a fosse way to improve air quality in cities and many and electrification also very much fits driving. many electric drives like the go cart you expect also need to be so it's a great combination and a big milestone for the b.m.w. groups electrification strategy. the b.m.w. group hopes to have $25.00 electric models on the market by 2023 the new mini
