he and 30 minutes w. . take personally. with wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. they're all true for. more than football. hello and welcome to drive with the car magazine today the v.w. i.d.r. record attempt in china. your driving fun and the 595. and the new crossover utility vehicle kiya exceed.

this is undoubtedly a key but which one. that none the emanuel says there's one thing you can't accuse developers out of town and that's being an imaginative guide the compact sheet has been available in 3 different versions namely as a 5 door as a station wagon and as a shooting brake with a named proceed now there is a 4th c u v or crossover variant of the x e would all. these utility oriented vehicles often share a platform with regular road vehicles that seems on development costs the x. seat is no exception how has the look. of a it's thank you man i was says at the end she says that's simply a normal seat with different paneling and

a race suspension the car has been completely redesigned the only thing it has in common with a normal seed is the front doors you know good enough talk let's take a look. the radiator grille is a little narrower than on the normal seat. at the rear the roof line immediately catches the eye as is now common practice with many manufacturers the lettering is placed in the middle the underbody protection is just for show and has no practical use. and the interior see drivers are quite comfortable the infotainment screen is up to 10 and a quarter inches across. in

addition to a rear view camera and a 7 speed to a clutch transmission there is a wireless smart phone charging track the highlight though is the optional 12.3 inch fully digital instrument cluster. the end seat is the 1st p.f. with this option. to be exceed cuts a good figure in terms of handling and rough uneven surfaces or gently cushion without the driving dynamics suffering too much. the $1.00 leader gasoline engine in our test car delivers $103.00 kilowatts of power and accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 10 seconds.

manuel explains that the extreme is more than 8 centimeters longer than the normal sea and by and should have more leg room for passengers to keep seats of those are . it is very far back there is just enough leg room. there. the man will explains that the trunk of the exceed can hold 1378 leaders almost 90 more than the normalcy i do however the trunk is slightly ranged this can make loading more difficult especially when loading something heavy kind of a mention in order. to be adam being in at bus. in sherman in the exene starts in just over 21000 euro. cumin well explains that the key is not designed for rough terrain and with it's more about the combination of a raised seating position and schick to create

a look so if you value design and increase driving comfort the current ag seat is not a bad choice as with. the 7 year manufacturer's warranty is the cherry on top of that and you know what that he has that i got. $99.00 turns in just 11 kilometers the big 8 rode on t.m. and mountain in china offers some of the most spectacular driving in the world in this year the folks wagon was to set another record for electric mobility and is bringing be i.d.r. here specifically for this purpose. getting ready for this record setting attempt is a tough job there is very little data available for the route.

if you try to do some city a shipmate it's a that's easy to get it's a tough case try not to get. g.p.s. data because much simulation is because. it simulates the brakes make it try to. be inconsistent make sure the stretch for since the most wagon motorsport team with special challenges. but they quickly adapt to the conditions and prepare the electric prototype for the race down to the smallest detail. so as a board because it's a prototype so you don't i was a suspension a fall guy all i recall so he's quite hotshot demo suspension one to hold such receipts very little soldier see on the heavy new also and doesn't see the inside

look all know so you end up to be too tight and not to describe something. the guy d.d.r. has 2 electric motors with a total system output of $500.00 kilowatts to conquer the 10.96 kilometer route with $99.00 vents 1100 meters of altitude difference and an average gradient it will over 10 percent. in the end the french driver. mastered the extreme driving challenge with a 0 emission race car in 108 minutes and a new personal best of 7 minutes and 38.585 seconds. that's one of the figures out as wayne smith says it was a real adventure and very different being in china he thinks it was a great event there as if it was incredible for him he hadn't seen

a track like that you don't see them often in the world of course the track was also a huge challenge for the team because again they didn't have much time to practice likely david pike's peak of the. the driver did a great job as always talking about. i.d.r. now holds the overall record on the american pikes peak hill climb race and the electric record on an herb are growing. as well as the track record at the goodwood festival of speed and the best time on the chinese t. aman schon big. myself a nice tall to be fussed over there was ok. with the 1st 2 series grand cru b.m.w. brings the concept of afford to pay into the premium compact line for the 1st time

i can speak their brothers the 2 series grand who pay has sporty distinctive lines with frameless side doors prices for the 2 series grand prix germany start at just under 32000 euro. to be she showcases the a s x facelift if there's a new mitsubishi designed language and its thank them and shield front in contrast to his predecessor it is also available with 4 wheel drive the a.s.x. is powered by the well known to leader 110 kilowatt gasoline engine combined with either a feisty manual or a c.v. cheat automatic transmission. louis has the honor today of testing a true italian sports car not a ferrari or lamborghini he's testing the bard 595. how much of an italian

sports car is it really that's what he wants to find out. colonel a bard founded the company that bears his name in 1049 the italian inventor envisioned turning normal cars into extraordinary cars 70 years on a board belongs to feel chrysler automobiles based on the feedback 500 the a bard 595 is the entry into the a barge sports car world. we're taking a look at one of the most powerful versions. what strikes you is directly about the handling is that the suspension is to an extremely harsh that's not really usable in everyday life and says on the racetrack that's another matter you can really use hard suspension. the 595 embodies a barge philosophy a bar vehicle should handle well be particularly powerful and figuratively speaking

as aggressive as scorpions the 595 competent siani generates 132 kilowatts of power and sprints to 100 kilometers per hour and 6.7 seconds crisis in germany started just over $26000.00 euros. says the steering in the a barge 595 is really a very direction that is a lot of driving fun and we want to be in country roads the gears are very direct and fluid. for those who are too lazy to shift gears aboard offers the semi automatic 5 speed gearbox with paddles on the steering wheel. from the outside be acquired is camouflaged by its rounded shapes and sizes. a comparatively long wheelbase and short overhangs make fee 3 meters 60 long car

look particularly compact. the ford tailpipes at the rear look impressive and hint at it sporty side. to turn cares a volume of 185 liters that can expand to 610 with the rear seat backs folded down . lewis likes the interior with its sports steering wheel the out kind tara leather and the carbon look up he also likes the carbon here very much however the hard plastic under here and also on top of that reminds him a bit of the fee at $500.00. the carbon package comes around 2000 euros extra.

the a bird $595.00 competent sione is equipped with bucket seats the seat backs are covered in carbon to match the interior sporty character. thread seat belts exude a kind of racing flair the back on 1st 2 seats but they're really just for short trips or for storage. a special feature that will appeal to most sports car fans lewis says it is this pressure indicator which is displayed in a sports mode if there's an extra gauge for that. first surcharge the are but can be customized even further the performance he quit been package includes a mechanical limited slip differential which helps to. bring the power even better to the road and other recent performance options. as i don't know he says the a bar 595 competency only showed him that in italian sports car doesn't always have

to be incredibly expensive and it offers a lot of driving fun a lot of performance and also a lot of agility the core competencies of a sports car. high performance station wagons have a long tradition of doubting this sporty r.s. models made their debut some 25 years ago the r s 6 avant is already in its 4th generation since those early days its appearance has become downright brutish that's backed up by a buy turbo delivering $441.00 kilowatts of power and compound it by $800.00 newton metres of torque. i showed bender of audi says they are a 6 started out as an avant model a typical for european markets because these avant models are very popular and this

body type is also simply very sought after however over the model generations the r s 6 in particular has become a real product and it's taking over more and more of his typical sedan market and his previous version for example was brought to china usually a strong sedan market it is the are a 6 was as successful as the r f 7 sport back right from the start of the 4th generation are a 6 it is now headed to the u.s. this is the 1st time that it can make a strong showing on the u.s. market with an i've got a model. let's take a look back at the 3rd and 4th generation side by sonny the changes aren't only technical but visual as well. the large air intake does not have the typical. how the single frame decoration.

is in its job use for so out he says chrome or aluminum brackets are no longer visible it's really a pure sports car design the bumper surface transitions directly into the radiator grille what the proportions are also new this means that the flatter fetii had opted from the a 7 makes for a much flatter hood and much sporty or proportions and with a standard a 6 so the grill is much flatter much wider and there's an element up here a kind of recognition feature for ours models makes the front enormously sporty and full of character for. the front headlights option we with matrix eleni and laser illumination also come from the a 7 if you compare the our a 6 with the current standard a 6 only 3 parts are identical the front doors the roof and the tailgate everything else was designed exclusively for the r s 6 avant with the most important thing for the irish sixes of course the with

the said it was increased by 40 millimeters on each side that makes it a total of 8 centimeters wider than the standard a 6 thank yous the car enormous presence $22.00 inch wheels were packed into the wheel arches the surfaces were adapted as much as possible to emphasize the wheels which is always a typical arias feature. the standard air suspension with control damping can be set to 5 different modes you could drop the r.s. $62.00 centimeters closer to the asphalt than the regular a 6 model from 120 kilometers per hour upwards it lowers the car by another 10 millimeters there's also the are a sport suspension option which reduces rolling even more. curious 6 event rockets from 0 to $100.00. kilometers per hour in 3.6 seconds then dynamic package raises the speed limiter from 252280 kilometers per hour order dynamic plus and they are

a 6 tops out at 305 kilometers per hour. at a $60.00 event has an advanced 8 cylinder by turbo weapon and board exhaust he says that means the turbo is not typically on the outside it on the inside of the engine this provides a few packaging advantages otherwise there wouldn't have been room for 8 cylinders in the c. platform. during the further development of progress in terms of performance was also made but also in terms of fuel economy so there are larger turbos for performance 3 millimeters larger in diameter with boost pressure increased to 1.4 bar. to see fuel the other is 6 also has a mild hybrid system during di celebration up to 12 kilowatts of power can be recovered and stored in a lithium ion battery the car can also coast to save energy by switching off the

new cylinders. the are a 6 avant launches in europe at the end of 2900 prices for the high performance station wagon in germany started 117000 iraqis. today christophe bauer is testing a pioneer of safety and engine technology the mercedes-benz to 20 and c.v. better known as the big tail for the official name of this series internews the 1959 is debbie you want to level the most innovative model in the series shines with its elaborate fuel injection system. because i meant to receive these 220 s e b wrote automotive history says christophe the big tail fin that was the 1st and then in the world made in large numbers with

a 4 stroke fuel injection entia proceedings had already been using this highly innovative and extremely efficient technology since the end of the 1950 s. but only in a very expensive small edition exotic model. c. as a thankful. in 1954 the legendary super sports car the mercedes benz 300 s.l. became the 1st series produced car with a 4 stroke and a fuel injected engine that meant more power and cleaner exhaust from less fuel. statesman began profiting from the new technology in 1957 the last model of a 300 d. the adenauer had such an fuel injection but these luxury vehicles like the fuel injection point on to 20 m. c. built for just 2 years were available only in small numbers.

once in a 1000000 so when injection system went under the hood of the top model of the w 111 series in 1959 says chris di to show him what this new development could do mercedes said the seemingly staid premium sedan onto the toughest race tracks and rally routes in the world. in 1960 reese car driver wagner schalke won the christie just monte carlo rally and the european touring car championship with a 220 and seem to be. the sedan won the touring car grand prix of argentina in 1961 and with a woman at the wheel also in 1952 a ross crist of sweden left all the men in the dust. and in 1063 to try. epping 6 hour race under bird grid.

for long distance races says christophe handling and the quality and balance of the engine are crucial and that big tail fin as smooth extremely precise power steering this is special is comfortable given for quite sporty else walking. him in the interior is built for safety too says krista for example with a padded steering wheel and this baffle to play through and having dashboard recessed knobs and switches some of the made of clicks about plastic christopher particularly admires the movie and locked up which keeps the doors from popping open on their own in an accident or car tester says mercedes engineer bella marry me of invented the principle of passive safety with this car and visually the car was boring a bit toward the extremely popular american design with a big panorama windshield and. in front though an understated one in comparison

with u.s. cars that think with mercedes the tailfin was not designed for design sake oh no says krista mercedes call this feature the pios de ghetto or my line of orientation and said can i help you parallel park well calculated technology. with the big tail fin mercedes head designer carlos created a clean wind timelessly elegant standard chassis that was used in 3 series of vehicles. the vertical bar displays pedometer was standard starting in 1962 the $220.00 s. he'd be offered an optional. automatic transmission that harmonized beautifully with the 120 horsepower engine.

here on the standard under the w $1.00 to $11.00 so it was a 6 cylinder 2 point true leader engine time and only in this model yes he be but there is a well designed mechanical fuel injection system that ensures that each of the 6 cylinders receives a finely atomize mixture of gasoline air and just the amount it needs at the moment it comes that's much more effective than a normal carburetor engine and which the same amount of fuel is aspirated with every stroke of the piston whether you're for or against it or just cruising along the head like. of course that engine can no longer be considered a fuel through europe by today's standards. if driven aggressively the $120.00 horsepower short stroke engine will burn 14 leaders or more per 100 kilometers but it can do 172 kilometers an hour and has

a powerful sonora sound than 220 has c.b. sets high standards technically the sedan was among the best cars of its time it was continually improve and remained in production for 6 years. it might see the receiving steel when he really said standard says chrystopher now its safety concept with a crumple zone and a reinforced passenger compartment have become fundamental features of car construction and that almost 300000 of the w one eleven's were sold 66000 of them as 220 a c b's with a trailblazing fuel injection that's the technological standard today you really find a car that combines so many innovations so the mercedes $220.00 s. c.b. is truly a milestone of automotive his. street don't tell me to shut up. the results are real automotive engineers come back. the

best . and soon i drive it completely new and now electric the pre-show to oh-h. . now comprehensively revised the mitchell b. sheet l $200.00.
