the 1st. 30 minutes on d w. after the fall of the berlin wall nov 9th d w. hello and welcome to drive with a d w motor magazine this time we go off road with a mitsubishi l 200. take a spin in a rare classic they're all magic words. and look at who shows new to

a week. there's all this artist a young baker sees the technology and to sign up who shows new to a way as the french car makers be it to shake up the sub compact classic buyers have a choice of gasoline or diesel engines or electric drive if god would like to find out which drive system suits on this suit for many and what puts it ahead of the v.w. polo or no creo and other competitors so much. the bright colors are the only thing that make this little runabout look fresh and modern the daytime running lights do their part as does the big hairy intake with fine chrome details . part of the g.t. line is a big rear spoiler that lends a tooling quietus 40 look glossy black rear l.e.d. clusters strip connection taillights.

to show off recent choice of a $1.00 lever gasoline engine a diesel and an electric drive for its new 208 we tested the most powerful gasoline version 1st it has an output of 96 kilowatts that's 131 horsepower. this version comes with an 8 speed automatic transmission in excel or reads from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in any point 7 seconds achieving a top speed of 280 kilometers per hour. but it will be on recognizes that in the 2 gasoline powered versions at least who show seems to harbor truly sporting ambitious though not accurate spence of comfort still can see the steering could be a bit tighter especially around the middle position that i want to trust the.

image on can't see anything about it to all its interior that would measure up to having to be up all those high quality workmanship standards everything in here looks quite smart if moses theory well it's rather small but that may be a question of taste anything said fits in here well enough. but it will be on spot something that competitors don't have a 3 d. digital instrument cluster of various display modes bring relevant information seemingly closer to the driver by projecting it in hologram form and look somewhat like the old flip book images and takes some getting used to but then i did see quite endearing. and see as my only thing young would criticize about the interior is the rear visibility it's noticeable ie impaired by the very large the pillars. now we come to the newest member of into holy family

the 2 all ate at a fast charging station the batteries can be charged to 80 percent in just half an hour the electric version can only be spotted by small visual details. the grilles checkered color scheme matches the body paint and it different angles a lion logos appear to change color. and of course there's a modern digital cockpit. fully charged batteries give each a range of 340 kilometers. made sure going electric didn't sacrifice performance at 100 kilowatts or 136 horsepower the eat to 08 is the most powerful model in the range it makes the sprint from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and 8 point one seconds.

they it's i don't i don't direct comparison young sees the coming out on top across the board it's 260 newton meter tour kicks in right off it has no turbo lag and it shows some of the sportiness the combustion engines lack except when it comes to the e.t.o.h. top speed which is capped at 150 kilometers per hour to. the battery is located under the floor leaving just as much space inside as in the other versions the. features 3 drive modes one to optimize the range one for optimum comfort and sport. quotes the starting price in germany at $15490.00. internal combustion version. it starts at

$30450.00 euros but an internal combustion version with the performance and the equipment comparable to the emergency would run at least $23500.00 euros that being the 130 horsepower version with automatic transmission even minus the 4000 euro subsidy still costs more but a less to maintain with less appreciation so anyone thinking about buying the most powerful gasoline engine should take a closer look at the end to all wait and i don't know i'm sure. mitsubishi's l. $200.00 is a familiar face in the pick up segment it's been around since 1978 and is now in its 5th generation. it's a really big art history month or schieffer points out that even admits who because she's labeled is l $200.00 a facelift over half of the parts have been updated and rework so we could almost call it new generation especially when it comes to the exterior design quite

a lot has been done with it. that's most obvious at the front it's mitsubishi's new face with a dynamic shield that's how the japanese carmaker designates this design with upward sweeping contours and high mountain narrow headlights the pick ups front looks altogether sharper and more up to date. easy sell a 4 wheel drive means selectable all wheel drive and standard in every trim line. brand new under the hood is the $2.00 leader turbo charged diesel it puts out $110.00 kilowatts to mobilize an impressive $400.00 newton metres of torque. is keep in mind a while describes the automatic transmission in his test truck as relaxed it's

available as an alternative to the 6 pm manual gearbox and the actual shifting is barely even noticeable it's all designed for long journeys and he doesn't really have any complaints supporting us as an entirely different matter but of course pick ups are not generally sporty because i. cover new features include various drivers assistance systems like the forward collision mitigation or if c.m. good. takes pedestrians ahead and tries to avert collisions through active braking . theirs i pick them up in a while is interested to see how the pickup handles the road so now he's going to take it out into rough terrain. dial switches between $2.00 and $4.00 wheel drive in addition various offroad programs can be selected for driving on surfaces like snow sand and rock each one designed to enhance the $200.00 altering capabilities

so driving up steep hills on a lose gravel shouldn't present any problem for this pickup truck. the interior can easily make you forget you're sitting in a utility vehicle especially when it comes to the state of the art infotainment system and leather seats. the workmanship is high quality is well more so than we normally expect from a vehicle primarily meant to carry 4 heavy loads the l 200 can handle up to 3 tons of towing capacity.

here bones and thought you might as well reminds us that pickups are quite a rare sight on german roads so it comes as no surprise that according to ms who we she over 80 percent of $200.00 buyers are businesses or private individuals a pickup like this wouldn't usually make that much sense in other markets that's different americans for instance i love pickups and china and many other countries where the roads are not as well developed as quite a lot more pickups. capita so the 0200 ish sure to find many a buyer around the world. list prices for an l $200.00 start in just under $30000.00 euros in germany but only for the 2 door version. then bulls were ghosts wagons rolled out the 8th generation of the gold it offers

a choice of 5 different hybrid drives it also takes digitalisation a connectivity to a new level all of the cockpit displays for instance are digital as standard the travel assist takes this go through down the highway and speeds up to 210 kilometers per hour without the need for active steering accelerating or braking. among the most widely sold hybrid s.u.v.s worldwide is the r x 458 now lexus has presented clone leave his version of the r x's new design makes an optical impression but a few changes have been made under the hood as well but chassis has been made more torsion resistant and given new bumpers and the latest generation of the lecture safety system provides greater safety on the road and enhanced collision avoidance .

against iraq has been on the road for 2 years now v.w. is creating a new variant of a compact issue that t. rock convertible that's helping the wall spur base car maker expand its model range in the auto industry's fastest growing segment of the open top the rock is building volkswagen's plant in austin of look where convertible versions of. and go for models were also may. begin by the. abra finger says folks why good hopes to appeal to a wide range of buyers is convertibles are often female oriented but this one has the s.u.v. gene so it's more masculine in its design so they assume it will appeal to men and women. the front is identical to the one on the closed body t rock it's sleek an arrow headlights are optically integrated into the grill bats and the separate daytime running lights located underneath the headlights give the

car is familiar face. but unlike the closed body variant the convertible is only available as a 3 door model be our line trim adds i can't chrome elements to the exterior. in spite of its size the electric soft top can open or close in just 9 seconds but the car travelling it speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour. but the amount of cargo space has shrunk considerably from 392 leaders to

284 liters though that's unlikely to dissuade most convertible fans. i caught one he is going to finish it marco has so from both wagon says a convertible is always a highlight when it comes to developing a car body imagine it like a shoe box with a closed lid there's a lot of torsion resistance but take off the lid and it's easily twisted and unstable. so that's the challenge optimizing the car body so that it can do without the roof want to. be a pillar has also been strengthened to protect the vehicles occupants should it flip over and there's also a protection system that pops up from behind the headdress should a rollover occur. inside everything remains the same the controls are just like in the close body to rock

here to there's a digital cockpit as well as the latest generation infotainment system which is always on line. marco hassel says 2 gasoline powered engine variants are planned and 85 kilowatt one with manual transmission and a 110 kilowatt engine available with a manual or not a matic but a lot of. fans hope folks who i can will introduce a sporty are variant of the convertible based on the new clothes body the rock our kid goes a 221 kilowatt engine that will give you plenty of wind in your hair. with an t. rod convertible most wagon has once again geared to try something new it looks to be a worthy successor to the gulf convertible so prices have yet to be announced. subaru

has given its mid-size lamborn station wagon a major facelift the work has been in production since 2014 is based on the same platform as the in praise of and the legacy. that says that the chargers. louis couple says that he will forget support of the words legacy revolution entering this subaru to win over buyers with its roominess creature comforts and sporty elegance so today louis is going to see if it lives up to that promise. only those familiar with the previous laborde will notice the changes to the exterior the air scoop on the hood has disappeared giving the new live board

a more elegant and less aggressive look. beautiful profile the proportions are policing. subarus trademark permanent symmetrical all wheel drive comes in standard equipment on the board. at the rear it's the twin exhaust and pipes that stand out the most. the interior comes across is uncluttered and harmonious. the look forward is equipped with subarus gear list linear trani continuously variable transmission. alloy pedals add a sporty touch. as obama says the car's target group is families which is evident here in the back if there's lotsa room i had room and leg

room and the trunk can hold 522 liters of cargo which he sees as a real plus stuff because if some of. the turbo charge 1.6 liter g.t. engine used in the previous model is now history that means the old air scoop on the hood needed to cool the turbo boxer is no longer needed so what's under the hood now. what imus is full of or comes from the 2 leader boxer and chinook that's used in other subaru models like the forester is more fuel efficient but he thinks it lacks the power of the turbo charge while he does the. the completely overhauled 4 cylinder puts out 100. 10 kilowatts of power and this is typical for a naturally aspirated model the engine wants to rev high when delivering full power maximum torque 198 meters is only achieved at $4200.00 r.p.m.

so the award can go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in 11.7 seconds and hits a top speed of 195 kilometers an hour. or tester says the subaru is a really pleasant and comfortable ride it handles very tightly here on wind on country roads and the suspension cushions the impact of the uneven ground. the new tuning for the suspension not only makes the ride more comfortable it also positively affects the dynamics at high speeds the sportster are now both more stability on the road. their level of organ pressed lewis well it's spaciousness and comfort and at a price of less than $27000.00 euros he thinks the subaru will give other brands

a run for their money and i exclaimed. it's a different look for spires an interesting alternative to wagons from the major automakers. less sporty than the previous model the f.t. did laborde is now more of an all rounder and that broader appeal should help the subaru all wheel drive brand attract even more face. time now for a trip back in time as christophe puts a rare classic from the $1000.00 fifty's through his pieces in 1904 friedrich romance set up shop in berlin as a custom coachbuilder for well heeled customers the post world war 2 era saw a range of convertibles 4 door taxis and other models based on the platform of the

v.w. beetle. christophe says in 1957 room edge promised drivers that they would like his new model the lowrance named after its designer that lawrence and they like did big timing as its design mirrored the american styling so popular at the time but underneath this beautiful exteriors is the v.w. beetles dependable mass production technology. unlike modern cars the beetle did not employ unique body construction so once you remove the beetle shell other bodies could easily be fitted onto the floor pan. in 1950 percent in the base go his 1st model based on the beetle browed one.

$157.00 his company turned out $280.00 units of the handbill special edition a sensational success. however in 1955 volkswagen had brought out its own sporty beetle derivative and was keen to see it succeed. nothing for christophe says after v.w. launched the karmann ghia its own sports car based on the beetle they tried to make life difficult for even the smallest competitor including romesh busch wagon stop supplying him with a separate chassis so having to buy complete models was far more expensive and dismantling them was hard work eventually you stop selling him cars altogether had to resort to middlemen and the black market to get the beatles he needed the.

swag and was simply too big to challenge in just the 1st year v.w. made $10000.00 carman each while 4 years production of the lawrence amounted to just $85.00 units no wonder crafting each individual car required 1200 man hours of labor. involved will match succeeded in making a car is beautiful on the inside as the outside says christophe the luxury is interior bows separately adjustable seats and standard fitted hot air heating with a window defroster and it has a padded dashboard a much as standard safety feature today but a real innovation back then the body parts are all made from a lightweight aluminum and sit on a frame of wood and metal the shape of the body reflects the american way of life that was catching on in europe so this great is below from berlin came with

a panoramic windshield. and. i think about the lovely looking lawrence nonetheless remained a european if everything was a little more elegant and delicate then the chunkier american models that's putting it. this week to tone paint job underlines the graceful italian style contour and customers could order a color combination of their choice. designer beard lawrence was a furniture maker by trade this beauty would be the only car he ever created as a favorite if we recall much inside it being fully loaded with a petri steering wheel and details that gave it the aura of a luxury model all much of the rummage laurence's 15 centimeters lower than the v.w. beetle which chris stuff used gives it

a look very sporty and dynamic unfortunately it doesn't feel that way to drive and it's fitted with a standard beetle engine which is barely generates 30 horsepower this car has been custom ice with 2 so x. $32.00 carburetors that's up the output to 40 horsepower which chris down thinks is the ok. the souped up $1.00 leader engine lets the car hit a top speed of 135 kilometers an hour 25 more than a standard beetle. christo says that the roman lawrence was the last german car to combine and individually made out boyd body with reliable series production technology so it's definitely a milestone an automotive history. the wrong message to orange is a really good old days when cars work and crafted and manual labor was still affordable today the 1200 hours it took to produce
