globally local action. global 3060 minutes on w. . after the fall of the berlin november 9th w. hello and welcome to drive with your motor magazine on b w coming up a magnificent classic strikingly streamlined. topping the top in the fee of $124.00 spyder. and the v.w.

touring now packs of. a pristine natural environment millions of years old the perfect place to relax go hiking or drive around ok on the news all tending to our car expert as much as current admits that 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 highways. but the term street he says means something different here and it did. as back on germany on the death

defying the. streets here present all sorts of obstacles 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 $250.00 millimeters and i will show it to says the touring he 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 on. the about this they are 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 cities 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 as she week last. month this points out to the jury gives 1st and foremost an s.u.v. knots and off road are in the traditional sense. that for example there's no off road gear reduction or differential locks but the cars electrical and air suspension systems still do a good job of getting into places where you wouldn't think a car could go he said about how these pull out with gates doesn't seem that so i don't alter any color code into. the touring speed t.d.i. for leader engine. features of power output of 310 kilowatts and 900 new meters of

torque. says it burns an average of $7.00 leaders of diesel per 100 kilometers but the actual figure is closer to 9 liters still for a high performance vehicle like this one pats not bad at. 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 taillights 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. insure many is 90000 euro but if you want to add some extras the price could quickly rice to over 100000 so the question is why spend all that money on a top of the line s.u.v.s that's just going to get banged up while you're driving around out in the countryside. above. the m. i know they helped put my office says a lot of people buy this vehicle because it's got enough power to pull a heavy trailer up to 3. and a half tons in fact that's where

a big engine comes in handy touring can haul a trailer into remote or mountainous areas that most other vehicles could not. be in this style of bag. apply disposition for about. 3 quarters of all people who by ensuring the order of the electronic trailer coupling device and even if you're not pulling a trailer you could always use the s.u.v. to pull another car out of a ditch. how did i learn what i says that the tearing v 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 i thought.

well nick. it's time for the opel astra 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 for 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 schaffer says the most important new feature is the 3 cylinder engine capacity options range from one to 1.5 leaders at the end she was designed by opal not usual. of the. day because. there's

a diesel options and 2 different gasoline models with performances that range from 77 to 107 kilowatts. if you are a miner 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 on to the autobahn engine performance drops off a little at higher speeds the furthest that. the abstract has good acceleration is 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 out with these chrome wings this design makes the front end a look over the wider yes. 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 back end is identical. yankee manoa says that they've made a few minor adjustments in the interior design. i know including

a number 3 to the infotainment system and apple card playing an android auto are both available android that's good news for people who prefer google maps to the cars built in navigation system that the town never got to want the themes were met . here's a new feature a semi digital instrument panel. there's a board in the center console where you can plug in your smart phone. the seats are quite comfortable just as they were in previous astra models that's 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 right dynamic chassis option is also available but considering the engine's relatively modest performance a lot of people will probably catch on that. the face if you might know says he likes the new answer but it needs a better engine and that may happen in a couple of years when peugeot unveils the next generation of this model which will be based on its technology. as you know the whole. astra is no longer available with a natural gas powered engine but that could change in the years to come as peugeot 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 from her. and touring cars with the addition of

a 4 door sports model these closely on the 2 door version the new grand prix claims to bridge the gap between sportiness and 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 8 series sports car but with 250 kilowatts of power under the hood a grand coupe you can still hit 100 kilometers an hour and under 4 seconds prices in germany start at $91500.00 euros. with each $208.00 has released the fully version of its popular super mini ritually the new model is nearly identical to its fuel driven brother which has also gone through a facelift and relaunch the 208 features a 50 kilowatt capacity battery which gives him 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 there's a couple is testing the few at $124.00 spyder he says the critics claim it's little more than a knockoff of the mass to m x 5 cars come off the same assembly line in hiroshima so let's find out what the spider has to offer. but if i tell us that. let's start by taking a look back at the roots of the fee of $124.00 spidery hand operated soft top even in $1066.00 was one of the models trademark characteristics over half a century has passed since the current models ancestor 1st hit the road some things have stayed the same.

back then as now people who bought this car like to feel the wind in their hair. another thing that has been 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 metre engine but of course it's grown more powerful back in 1966 and 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 the 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 powered donors on the hood that give it a receiver look and silhouette the classic sports car proportions are obvious with

a long hood and wheel base and short overhand. one big reason why the 124 spider is so light peak 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 fia that is powered by interval charge from $1.00 leader gasoline driven motor. could put $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 monster which only comes with a 6 gearstick you can order a spider that has an automatic transmission but lewis decided to test the manual version. but he says the handling of sporty in the car reacts quickly when you hit the gas the gears are tight he adds and steering is very precise. as it does that lewis says that when he found out that he was going to test this car he wondered whether $140.00 horsepower it was really enough for a roadster and that he says it is a scar is lots of fun on country roads. and that's marginally due to the spiders 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 a much. as we think it was has surprised and pleased about how quickly and

precisely the spider takes curbs. 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 do 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 ometer occupies a central position. and among the gauges. 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. the end of almost always has the interior is really minimalist there isn't even

a couple there but he doesn't matter the way that fiat's solve the question of the convertible top all you have to do is unhook it here and push backwards. if you have to do it says the fi 124 spider has a lot going for obvious and child 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. is a recommendation from potential buyers definitely try out the seats before signing a check. one of the pioneers of aerodynamics is put to the test. patrick

87. the brand tata ranks among the world's oldest automobile manufacturers he began producing motor cars as early as $897.00 and what's now the czech republic. he hasn't bought our car chester kristoff our explains that the 1st cars to come out of the top should need to still carry the name as well door that's what the town was called before world war one when the still belong. and needs 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 in 1920 the company changed its name to tottering after the highest mountain in former czechoslovakia the austrian car maker hans leveque and his team created truly revolutionary designs and christophe also mentions the streamlined shake of

the brands most iconic feature and a brand new concept that. became. the 1st streamlining experiments began in the 1926 a new teardrop shaped body was used to minimize air resistance to max my speed and reduce fuel consumption and on a diverse range of different vehicles including airships aircraft trains and of course cars. but how does he not christoph explains that the 87 adage 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 the time trading 7 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 tatra $87.00 to over 150 kilometers per hour with the recommended cruising speed of $135.00 in the 1930 s. the top truck was one of the world's fastest series production vehicles. christophe recommends taking your foot off the gas to really experience how streamline. and 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 12.2 liters per 100 kilometers if most cars i was similar performance would get through twice that and christophe would say it's a cross between a luxury sedan that was and is super car and a miracle of fuel consumption which nowadays he says is

a real rarity sulfide to go to say. i think him in the interior too he's surrounded by pure luck sheree leather as far as the eye can see fit and these are the coast style concord has so many but one has no owner couldn't possibly know what they all do bureaucracy and he also mentions the fantastic streamline this with a giant 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 not just a coincidence the builder hunt's lead vehicle was good friends with a fair number for sure the father of those wagon fog so who's still whose idea of well it's certainly a bone of contention and christophe staying well out of it took.

the front section with its 3 headlights is one of the most striking features of the top $287.00 along with its enormous air scoop to ventilate the rear engine and it's unique silhouette with covered aerodynamic rear wheels. 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 the touch $87.00 is an undisputed jemma pre-war automotive design a true work of art.

i'm christopher explains that in the structure of the engine is not fitted at the front but under a gigantic could at the back it's an air cooled by 8 engine with a 3 liter displacement from overhead camshafts and $75.00 horsepower and the engine block and transmission case are made from electronic a super lightweight magnesium alloy which reduces the car's way to just 1370 kilograms that's 500 kilograms less than mr recht predecessor. the 4 speed gearbox with unsynchronised 1st and 2nd gears does take some getting used to. and it's prone to a crash or 2 visibility out the back is awful the split wind shield and the dorsal fin restrict the field of view so what goes on behind the car is anyone's guess.

but the trap trick is reliable check adventures area i'm so. sick more successfully travelled the world in the t. 87 between 19471950. calls this a groundbreaking car that in its day was light years ahead of the competition but it was a rare beauty heard. actual was put on hold of 1939 as you cuz of the 2nd world war manufacturing resumes and continues into the 1050s crime 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 time trip $87.00 is definitely a milestone and automotive history was
