me to come to germany. i got my license to work as a swimming instructor. and now our 2 children offered us one of us toughest. what's your story take part cherish on info my current stock. and welcome to drive in your motor magazine on d w coming up a magnificent classic just strikingly streamlined talked around. topping the top in the field 124 spider. and a v.w. touring now packs of.

pristine natural environment millions of years old the perfect place to relax go hiking or drive around ok i love you is all tending here good for our car expert might discourage it may said the vehicle he's testing today isn't exactly politically correct in fact it's just the opposite after all who needs heavy a diesel engine in an s.u.v. a vehicle most of us don't need either. the point is what are you going to use the s.u.v. for that's why he's come to iceland off roading is illegal here so people need a car they can use to drive around on the streets and highway. but the term street he says means something different here than it does back in germany. if in the. streets here present all sorts of items to.

gravel. rocks mud and even rivers. you never know what you'll find around the next curve so it's good that the touring v 8 comes equipped with a height adjustable pneumatic suspension system that features a maximum ground clearance of $258.00 millimeters and that will show up as says the touring has a lot more to offer than you might think and you can get a feeling for the awesome power of this vehicle just by looking at it although some of the models competitors try but they come across as a bit over the top. color. most people buy this s.u.v. for performance not for looks 85 percent of all touring models are sold to people who live in rural areas not big city of course that doesn't mean that these

vehicles are used exclusively in the countryside but that number is still way above average for the s.u.v. class. this points out to the tour aig is 1st and foremost an s.u.v. it by knox and off road in the traditional sense. for example there's no gear reduction or differential watch but the cars are electrical and their suspension systems still do a good job of getting you to places where you wouldn't think a car could go he said let's hope this doesn't die even though i have altered. the touring t.d.i. for leader engine features a power output of $310.00 kilowatts and $900.00 metres of torque b.w. says it burns an average of 7.4 liters of diesel per $100.00 cars. but the actual

figure is closer to mine liters still for a high performance vehicle like this one class not bad. the v.a. version of the tour it doesn't look that different from the 6 cylinder version it just sports a few extra logos here and there and comes standard with chrome fittings that are available only as options on other models even after a hard day on the roads of iceland this vehicle still retains a certain understated elegance. the models name is spelled out in silver letters and back. in the belly the tail lights are large. the exhaust system meets european 60 standards which are pretty strict.

the jury v. 8 offers a number of features as standard than are options on other models the basic price for the s.u.v. in germany is 90000 euros but if you want to add some extras the price could quickly rise to over 100000 so the question is why spend all that money on a top of the line s.u.v. that's just going to get banged up while you're driving around out in the countryside. above. the back. either to help put enough to says a lot of people buy this vehicle because it's got enough power to pull a heavy trailer like up to 3 and a half tons in fact that's where a big engine comes in handy that a touring can haul a trailer into remote or mountainous areas that most other vehicles could not. i

mean this style of bag. off road. 3 quarters of all people who buy a touring mediate order the electronic trailer coupling device and even if you're not pulling a trailer you can always use the s.u.v. to pull another car out of a ditch. how did i let a lot of us says that the touring the 6 is basically just as good as a cousin so you have to ask yourself whether you're really going to need all that extra engine performance but since the v.a. doesn't use a lot more fuel than the v 6 version there's no reason not to go for it that far off. as. well and that.

it's time for the opel astron to get another facelift it's been 4 years since the last one after all the astra brand has been around since 1991 its predecessor the opel cadette made its debut in 1036 so let's see what's new about the 2019 astra since the brand was taken over by peugeot in 2017 we can probably expect to find some french technology here. coming via artistry manuel sheaffer says the most important new feature is the 3 cylinder engine capacity and options range from one to 1.5 meters but the engine was designed by opal not to. be killed but. there's a diesel option and 2 different gasoline models with performances that range from seventies. $7.00 to $107.00 kilowatts.

your i.q. mine was test car features the $94.00 kilowatt version but even in the lower engine performance range this vehicle has a lot of get up and go at least until you get out onto the autobahn engine performance drops off a little at higher speeds that's that. has good acceleration 0 to 100 kilometers in just under 10 seconds top speed is 215 kilometers per hour. the new ashtray engines are about 20 percent more fuel efficient than the old ones . nothing to do with the amount of all points out that the asterisk overall design hasn't changed a lot at least up front though they've made

a few changes to the front bumper. and the new grille really stands up with these chrome wings this design makes the front end look i would a wider yes but i think. the answer is aerodynamic design has been improved to increase fuel consumption one new design feature is the use of adjustable flaps behind the grill other than that the car doesn't look a lot different from older models and the backend is identical. the on time i know says that they've made a few minor adjustments in the interior design including an embroidery to the infotainment system and apple car play an android auto are both available android that's good news for people who prefer. google maps to the car's built in

navigation system that this is a town that got so into themes. here's a new feature a semi digital instrument panel. there is a port in the center console where you can plug in your smartphone. the seats are quite comfortable just as they were in previous astra models as good news if you're headed out on a long drive. there's also a station wagon version called the sports true. but back to the 5 door sedan the shock absorbers have been redesigned and that makes for a comfortable ride i dynamic chassis option is also available but considering the engine's relatively modest performance a lot of people will probably pass on that. the face if you model says he likes the

new hampshire but it needs a better engine that may happen in a couple of years when peugeot unveils the next generation of this model which will be based on its technology. to get the whole. aster is no longer available with a natural gas powered engine but that could change in the years to come as to joe comes up with new designs it's highly likely that the new lineup will include an astro plug in hybrid. b.m.w. has extended its high end 8 series of grand touring cars with the end vision of a 4 door sports model based closely on the 2 door version the new grand prix claims to bridge the gap between supporting us. long range comfort because it's 6

centimeters taller and has a wheel base that's 20 centimeters wider there's a lot more space inside than in the smaller a cheery sports car but with $250.00 kilowatts of power under the hood of the grand coupe a can still hit 100 kilometers an hour and under 4 seconds prices in germany started $91500.00 euros. with the $28020.00 has released the fully electric version of its popular super mini usually the new model is nearly identical to its fuel driven brother which has also gone through a facelift and relaunch the $208.00 features a 50 kilowatt capacity battery which gives it a range of up to 340 kilometers and if it's hooked up to a rapid charge $100.00 kilowatt station the battery can be loaded up to 80 percent in just 30 minutes.

if the couple is testing the field at $124.00 spyder he says the critics claim it's little more than a knockoff of the managed to m.x. 5 cars come off the same assembly line in hiroshima so let's find out what the spider has to offer out a little bit but if i tell us that. let's start by taking a look back at the roots of the fee of $124.00 spider and operated soft top even in 1966 was one of the models trademark characteristics over half a century has passed since the current models ancestor 1st hit the road for some things have stayed descent. back then as now people who bought this car like to feel the wind in their hair.

another thing that hasn't changed is that the spider still has rear wheel drive and just like the 1st of its kind today's model packs a 1.4 leaner engine but of course it's grown more powerful back in 1966 it only put out 66 kilowatts of power the sporty is variant of the new 125 spider the abarth version churns out 125 kilowatts. on the outside fiat's designers have brought back in 1960 s. in other ways like the round headlights that sit over the blinkers as well as the shape of the grill. and also like earlier models the latest spider features twin our donors on the hood that give it a receiver look and soon the web classic sports car proportions are obvious with a long hood and wheel base and short over hand.

one big reason why the 124 spider is so light easy to manage soft top. unlike the mazda m x 5 which is built on the same platform the feel it's exhaust pipes peeped out to the right and left. and while the mazda uses a naturally aspirated engine the fi out is powered by a turbo charged $1.00 leader gasoline driven motor. it puts out $103.00 kilowatts of power which can push the spider to 100 kilometers an hour in a respectable 7.5 seconds its top speed is 217 kilometers an hour also unlike the monist which only comes with a 60 year stick you can. orderers fighter that has an automatic transmission but

lewis decided to test the manual version. but he says the handling is sporty in the car reaction quickly when you hit the gas boys the gears are tight he adds and steering is very precise. i think of that lewis says that when he found out that he was going to test this car he wondered whether $140.00 horsepower was really enough for a roadster and that he says it is and this car is lots of fun on country roads. and that's largely due to the spider's lightweight just a little over 1100 kilograms with peak torque at 240 new meters which are reached at just 2250 r.p.m. the spider is powerful and sporty in the middle of its river range. as mr lewis has surprised and pleased about how quickly and precisely the spider takes kurds. in general although there is some overlap between the 2 models when it comes to price

the fia costs more than the mazda who is took out the new so trim package which includes $17.00 inch wheels leather seats and automatic climate control inside the fi at 124 spyder and mazda m.x. 5 look and feel very similar. in both cars the track on a motor occupies a central position among the gauge. and the center console is also pretty much identical one drawback is the lack of trunk room another is that the seats can't be adjusted for height. but in the home of the us has the interior is really minimalist there isn't even a couple but he doesn't honor the way that fiat's solve the question of the convertible top all you have to do is. unhook it here and push backwards.

yet i do it says the feet i want 24 spider has a lot going for its agile and it's a lot of fun on the road but it also has a couple of negative points like the lack of storage options and adjusting the seats can be difficult or is it suppose it's what. is recommendation from potential buyers definitely trying out the seats before signing the check. one of the pioneers of aerodynamics is put to the test. patrick 87.

the brand contra ranks among the world's oldest automobile manufacturers it began producing motor cars as early as $897.00 and what's now the czech republic. yes no facts are car chester christophe our explains that the 1st cars to come out of option need to still carry the name nestle door that's what the town was called before world war one when it still belong to our street. and needs it is also the only town as far as he's aware to have a car in its coat of arms proving just how important the industry was for the region 6 in 1020 the company changed its name to tottering after the highest mountain in former czechoslovakia the austrian car maker hans living in his team created truly revolutionary designs and christophe also mentions the streamlined shake of the brand's most iconic feature and a brand new concept that on. em. the 1st

streamlining experiments began in the 1920 s. a new teardrop shaped body was used to minimize air resistance max my speed and reduce fuel consumption and on a diverse range of different vehicles including airships aircraft trains and of course cars. and how does the 100 stuff explains that the tatra 87 and its direct predecessor the 77 were some of the world's 1st vehicles to be developed in a wind tunnel the engineers and list of hungary unsettling builder. for help christophe says the most successful product of their ambitious research was arguably this car that time to 87 i presented in 1936 with a drag coefficient of just 0.36 and that's still very impressive today. one that comes. to. a modest $75.00

horsepower is still enough to accelerate the tantra $87.00 to over 150 kilometers per hour with a recommended cruising speed of $135.00 in the 1930 s. the time was one of the world's fastest series production vehicles. christophe recommends taking your foot off the gas to really experience how streamlined the car is it just carries on rolling totally unaffected by the wind and of course less air resistance means lower fuel consumption this car uses just $12.00 leaders per 100 kilometers those cars of a similar performance would get through twice that i get christophe would say it's a cross between a luxury sedan it was and a super car and a miracle of fuel consumption which nowadays he says is a real rarity to hide the ball to save.

i say him and the interior to he's surrounded by pure luxury leather as far as the eye can see fit and there are the cowshed cockpit has so many but has no owner couldn't possibly know what they all do. he also mentions the fantastic streamline with the china and tail fin attached in the center and it is supposed to provide a smoother drive at high speeds and you might have noticed a similarity to the v.w. beetle says christophe and that's just a coincidence the builder hustlin vinca was good friends with a fair number for sure the father of all swag and who still whose idea well it's certainly a bone of contention and christophe staying well out of it just took. the

front section with its 3 headlights is one of the most striking features of a top train the 7 along with its enormous air scoop to ventilate the rear engine and its unique silhouette with covered aerodynamic rear wheel. the craftsmanship is without a doubt 1st rate. but there's one very odd design flaw the trunk is only accessible from the inside. but still that's not true $87.00 is an undisputed jemma pre-war automotive design a true work of art. i'm christopher explains that in this transfer of the engine isn't fitted at the front but under a gigantic hood at the back it's an air cooled v 8 engine with. 3 liter

displacement from an overhead camshafts and $75.00 horsepower into the engine block in transmission case are made from electron a super lightweight magnesium alloy which reduces the car's weight to just 1370 kilograms that's 500 kilograms less than mr direct predecessor. the 4 speed gearbox with unsynchronised 1st and 2nd gears does take some getting used to. and is prone to a crash or 2 visibility out the back is awful the split when shield and the dorsal fin restrict the field of view so what goes on behind the car is anyone's guess. but the tatra is reliable check adventures yuri hansei and there was one sequence successfully travelled the world in the t.

87 between 19471950. s. as your stuff calls this a groundbreaking car that's in its day was light years ahead of the competition but it was a rare beautie production was put on hold in 1939 because of the 2nd world war manufacturing resumes and continued into the 1950 s. but only 3023 models were ever built up still it was the 1st series production sedan whose design was based on the aerodynamic research gleaned in a wind tunnel to him so he feels the trip $87.00 is definitely a milestone and automotive history and how different my child i'll be 50. 1 the company wouldn't continue today toucher only makes trucks.

next time i'm driving we put the porsche cayenne turbo as she hybrid through its paces. and check out the pioneering fuel economy concept and the mazda she actually.
