this is undoubtedly a key but which one. that mundine in manama says there's one thing you can't accuse kiya developers out of town and that's being an imaginative guide the compaq scene 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 she u.v. or crossover variant the x e would all. these utility oriented vehicles often share a platform with regular road vehicles that seems on development costs d x e it is no exception how has the look. of a it's they they have in mind i was says that the x. seat is that simply a normal seat with different paneling and the 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 scene. 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 of the underbody protection is just for show and has no practical use. in 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 dual clutch transmission there is

a wireless smart phone charging pack the highlight though is the optional 12.3 inch fully digital instrument cluster. and seat is the 1st kiya with this option. being exceed cuts a good figure in terms of handling and running uneven surfaces or gently cushion without the driving dynamics suffering too much. the $1.00 leader gasoline engine in our tens car delivers $103.00 kilowatts of power and accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 10 seconds. while explains that the xchange is more than 8 centimeters longer than the normal

seen by and should have more leg room for passengers keep seats of those are. just very far back there is just enough leg room. there cough the money well explains that the trunk of the egg seed can hold 1378 almost 90 more than the normalcy i live in however the trunk is slightly raised sigman this can make loading more difficult especially when loading something heavy for a climb of a mention in order. to be adam being in that bus. in sherman in the end scene starts in just over 21000 europe's. human will explains that the key is not designed for rough terrain and with it's more about the combination of a raised seating position and a ship who paid look so if you value design and increase driving comfort the

current ag seat is not a bad choice as with all key a model i.c. the 7 year manufacturer's warranty is the cherry on top of that and you know what that the whole. yes but i got a. 99 turns in just 11 kilometers the big gate rode on tioman mountain in china offers some of the most spectacular driving in the world it is here the folks who i did once for said another record for electric mobility and is bringing the 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.

you try to do some c.p.a. she made it so it's not so easy to get. this china to get. to be a state of it's a big business situation is because. it simulates a great spec and try to. bring in consistent nature of a stretch for since the most wagon motor sport team with special challenges. but they quickly adapt to the conditions and prepare the electric prototype for the range down to the smallest detail. says or because it's a little dive so you don't solve the suspension all fall guy. he's quite high. demo suspension on both the 2 seats very low so what you see on the head and you also doesn't see the inside of the ball no so you'll end up to be too tight not to

describe something. the idea has 2 electric motors with a total system output of $500.00 kilowatts to conquer the $10.00 he sings kilometer route with $99.00 bends 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 100 minutes and a new personal best of 7 minutes and 38.5 meaning 5 seconds. that's one of the things up when 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 if 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 like they did in pikes peak but the. the driver did a great job as always talk about. i.d.r. now holds the overall record on the american pikes peak yo climb race and the electric record on an herb or going north. as well as the track record at the goodwood festival of speed and the best time on the chinese t. amen schon big keep. myself a nice gal to be fussed over the us was ok. with the 1st 2 series green crew for a b.m.w. brings the concept of afford to pay into the premium compact line for the 1st time my kids bigger brothers the $2.00 series grand cooper has sporty distinctive lines

with frameless side doors prices for the 2 series grand germany start at just under 32000 euro. beachy showcases the a is x facelift in various the new mitsubishi designed language and its dynamic 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 5 speed manual or a c.v.t. automatic transmission. louis has the honor today of testing a true italian sports car and not a ferrari or a lamborghini he's testing the barred 595. how much of an italian sports car is it really that's what he wants to find out. carlo

a bard founded the company that bears his name in 1049 the italian inventor envisioned turning normal cars into extraordinary cars similar to yours on a barge 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 a hard suspension. the 595 embodies a barge philosophy of our 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 prices in germany started just over $26000.00 euros. says the steering in the a barge 595 is really a very direct that is a lot of driving fun and want to be on country roads the gears are very direct and fluid. for those who are too lazy to shift gears apart offers the semi automatic 5 speed gearbox with paddles on the steering wheel. from the outside the applied fist camouflaged by its rounded shapes and case. the comparatively long wheelbase and short overhangs make the 3 metre 60 long car look particularly compact. the ford tailpipes at the rear look impressive and can't

have been sporty side. to turn because of volume of 185 liters that can expand to 610 with the rear seat backs folded down. louis likes the interior with a sports steering wheel the out kind tara leather and the carbon look 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 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 for 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 when in sports mode if there's an extra gauge for that. first surcharge the are burnt can be customized even further the performance equipment package includes a mechanical limited slip differential which helps. 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 an attorney and sports car doesn't always have to be incredibly expensive and offers a lot of driving fun

a lot of performance and also a lot of agility the core competencies of a sports car. performance station wagons have a long tradition of doubting the 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 number of audi says they are a section started 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 its typical sedan market and its 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 s 7 sport back right from the start of the 4th generation are a 6 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 avant model. let's take a look back at the 3rd and 4th generation side by sunk the changes aren't only technical but visual as well. the large air intake does not have the typical. now the single frame decoration. is that it's no 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 feet she 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 this element up here a kind of recognition feature for r.'s models makes the front enormously sporty and full of character for. the front headlights optional even with matrix and laser illumination also come from the a 7 if you compare the are 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 aria 6 is of course the with the sense it was increased by 40 millimeters on each side that makes it a total of 8 centimeters wider than the standard

a 6 they give 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 as. the standard air suspension with control damping can be said to 5 different modes it 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 sports suspension option which reduces rolling even more. furious 6 of rockets from 0 to 100. kilometers per hour in 3.6 seconds the dynamic package raises the speed limit or 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 down 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 diesel aeration 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 other is 6 of 5 launches in europe at the end of 2019

prices for the high performance station wagon in germany started 117000 euro. today christo power is testing a pioneer of safety and engine technology the mercedes benz 220 s e v better known as the big tail fin the official name of this series introduced in 1959 is debbie you want to level the most innovative model in the series shines with its own elaborate fuel injection system. did mit receive these 220 s e b wrote automotive history says chris stuffed the big tail fin that was the 1st and then in the world made in large numbers with a 4 stroke fuel injection in ship 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 addition 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 a last model of the 300 d. the adenauer had such an fuel injection but these luxury vehicles like the fuel injection point on to 20 as he built for just 2 years were available only in small numbers. going to the gasoline injection system went under the hood of the top model of the

w 111 series in 1959 says chris try to show him what this new development could do mercedes sent a seemingly staid premium sedan onto the toughest racetracks and rally routes in the world. in 1960 reese car driver wagner schalke won the prestigious monte carlo rally and the european touring car championship with the 220 and c b. the sedan won the touring car grand prix of argentina in 1961 and with a woman at the wheel also in 1962 k.v. ross crist of sweden left all the men in the dust. and in 1963 to try. unfed peak 6 hour race under burglary. 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 you know for quite sporty spotted. him in the interior is built for safety too says krista for example with a padded steering wheel and this battle play pool and having dashboard recess knobs and switches are 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 an engineer. and vented the principle of passive safety with his car and visually the car was oriented 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 gette or my line of orientation and said can help you parallel park well kuchel aided technology. with the big tail fin mercedes head designer karl who facts created a clean lined timelessly elegant standard chassis that was used in 3 series of vehicles. the vertical bar displays but domineer was standard starting in 1962 the $220.00 s c b offered an optional. automatic transmission going to harmonize beautifully with a $120.00 horsepower engine.

here on to standard under the w $111.00 so it was a 6 cylinder 2 point true leader engine time and only in this model the se be there is a well designed mechanical fuel injection system that ensures that each of the 6 cylinders receives a finely atomize mixture of gasoline and air and just the amount it needs at the moment that's much more effective than a normal carburetor engine and which the same amount of fuel is aspirated with every stroke in the piston whether you're for hit or just cruising along the hand 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.

since high standards technically the sedan was among the best cars of its time it was continually improved and remained in production for 6 years. it might see the mercy of the steel when really said standard says chris stuff now its safety concept with a crumple zone and a reinforced passenger compartment have become fundamental features of car construction and the almost 300000 of the w 10 evidence were sold now 66000 of them has 220 a c b s with 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. straightened out will be pushed to. the result a real automotive engineers caught the bug
