fans so more oil. 13 w. i. welcome to the but is the game here. to talk about. a little and welcome to drive it for the d w motor magazine this week we tis the audi a one cd carver carving through the city of hamburg. collections celebrates 30 years and a new r x. and we check out the new bentley flying spur. for

more than a century the name bentley has been the appear to me a lecture e a brand fit for a queen it seems bentley is an official supplier to the british royal family that hand crafted materials in the interior. comfort and luxury. as a test final days an offer says he'd normally test the current shelf that given it's a bentley and the chauffeur is ready and waiting just not going to say hello. the flying spur is just above the continental g.t. in the bentley range superceded only by the more luxurious mills on the bullies. 6

liter 12 cylinder engine puts out a whopping $467.00 kilowatts of power. good looks i know thinks this is the way to travel and the back of the bentley flying spur by the leg room is particularly generous as the car is only available in the extended version with 13 centimeters more leg room as you'd expect the weather is top quality and the design elegant there are plenty of displaced cranes including this new touch screen and the center console you can even remove it like a remote control which he thinks is great. it allows you to control the blind for example and even the flying bean mascot on the hood. comes i feel for most of. that of course you can adjust the climate control of the massage function on the scene or change the color of i'm writing it all from the comfort of the back seat. and sitting on the back seat is probably the best way

to savor the luxury but only 5 percent of all bentleys are shown for driven 95 percent of bentley owners cry themselves time for one hope to swap places but there's something he needs to attend to 1st. yes when the final the joint from a chauffeur driven experience but before he takes the wheel himself he needs to dress up for the occasion. time for us to take a good look at the exterior of the car the ele de headlamps feature a cut crystal effect making them especially eye catching. the wings of the flying the mascot are also made of glass and provide up when the driver approaches the car the vehicle is a whole $5.00 metres long and comes with $21.00 inch wheels and a standard underlining the powerful presence of a flying spring. this struggling on the side hints at

the sleeping giant beneath the hood it's a power pack just waiting for action. on. the rear on the other hand has been kept surprisingly simple the wide oval tailpipes are linked with a design line. chris black trim on the science draws the eye over the car's sleek profile. women sin against the bentley is worth gives sharman are.

the following spring has a curve weight of just under 2 and a half times but it still powers from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 333 kilometers per hour. deadline spinal says the car is obviously comfortable but it can really move to it and it feels more fleet footed than its predecessor and that's due to the all will steering and the slightly reduced weight of the car is mostly powered by rear wheel drive with the front wheels only receiving toward one rear wheel slip is detected then there's a new air suspension which is 3 chambers that are 40 percent larger all that makes for a comfortable right and allows sporty driving to. one element of the beauty of a new flying spur is the option to personalize it in addition to the range of 17 standard colors there are also many more extended range color options available.

in heads of i hope so as you immediately noticed the digital cockpit inside with one display in front of the driver and one in the center he feels designers have paid great attention to detail. be a change lever provides a perfect grip and then there are knobs the don't just have a normal beveling but are in grave with $2331.00 facets of providing optimum grip and of course it shines a lot more beautifully and i would rather watch. one of the final points to his favorite detail in the whole interior it's not a great seats or the massage function great as it is nor is it the finely crafted switches or the rendell wheels no it's the bentley rotating display it 1st appeared in the continental g.t. and continental cabriolet called and now it's in the flying spare no it means i don't always have the navigation screen up you can also switch to the beautifully

crafted analog instruments and that's something that's really wowed him i don't conform and. then i bet right now says the new bentley flying spirit for is a lot of luxury i'm paper at least it competes with the top line versions of the audi 8 mercedes s. class and b.m.w. 7 series but he thinks it's in a completely different league closer to rolls royce fast and the honest ones what's . 9 years under its belt 3 facelifts and more than $1360000.00 so mitsubishi is one for the ages x. since 2010 and it's been a century unchanged at least under the surface but instead of a. new generation the japanese maker has come up with

a s x facelift number 4 they may be the same underpinnings but mitsubishi hasn't been shy about completely replacing sheet metal which is unusual for a facelift the new beefy front is called dynamic shield and draws on mitsubishi's new design language nothing is changed with the compact outer dimensions going through mains 4.37 meters and there's still a good ground clearance of 1000 centimeters. to come out of it a current or 3 model shaffer says the new a.s.x. polled something of a tradition at mitsubishi with its 18 years of 4 wheel drive history the new model is once again available with 4 whale drive if you want to get it you can still order it with 2 wheel drive but if road conditions are poor you can't just switch to a 4 wheel drive and she would otherwise so you just have to make sure you don't get stuck. under

normal conditions the variable all wheel system powers the front wheels but if they lose their grip the computer spreads the torque evenly between front and rear and particularly difficult terrain you can switch to 4 wheel drive walk mode but that's a bit of a misnomer the differential never completely locks instead the clutches are how we're trying to clean push together more closely to keep cornering on track. and get the money was a major criticism of the previous a.s. axle was a somewhat weak engine that's now been improved with a facelift a 1.6 liter has been replaced by a 2 liter gasoline engine which is already familiar from other mitsubishi so it produces 110 kilowatts and more importantly 195 meters of torque. that means it's

not out of its element on country roads or freeway. if you are looking for a diesel engine you'll be disappointed and that's also true if you want an electric or hybrid version the 4 cylinder gasoline engine is the only choice it accelerates the one and a half ton vs actually to 100 kilometers per hour and 10.2 seconds and gives it a top speed of 190 kilometers per hour. no one has to nitpicks a manual transmission on the a s x has only 5 years nowadays it should have 6 at the very least also if you want to pick up some speed the engine has to rev up relatively high and that means the interior can get pretty loud but there's less to complain about at moderate speeds the suspension handles bumps well although he'd expect nothing less from an s.u.v.

. if shifting gears isn't your thing there's an optional continuously variable transmission but here too sporty ambitions should be kept in check because strong thick celebration has never been the hallmark of a seeming team once again the a.s.x. spikes to be a little cautious despite its fresh new appearance nearly everything is the same on the inside but not quite everything the climate control panel has been redesigned the interior is the same understated grey with just a few metallic access there's an updated info team and system with a touch screen that now features an 8 inch screen up from 7 nothing is changed when it comes to the cars roomy inside dimensions the printing on the position of the rear seat the trunk volume ranges from 462-1206 leaders typical class. i'm. with an entry price of just under

$21000.00 euros the a.b.s. access price well below some of its competitors such as before toyota rav $4.00 and . even the basic equipment package includes decent features such as. headlights and climate control and if you opt for the top equip in line which includes nearly everything your heart desires it's still below $30000.00 euros is conclusion if you like the design of the a.s.x. you can save a few 1000 euros compared to other manufacturers. lexus or celebrating its 30th anniversary by looking back on a history of technical milestones in 1983 toyota decided it needed to launch a premium brand but before the 1st elections cars could roll off the assembly line in 1990 toyota convecting years of studies focus groups and strategy development.

head of marketing marcus berg marshall as a team of marketing people lived in a villa on the u.s. west coast for a while to get to know the lifestyle of their potential customers and they wanted to see what made people tick and this knowledge flowed in the product development. of that came the ls 400 i watch research then which was a bit off the highly competitive market a segment in which every available technology you can imagine goes into the cards for that and. it was designed with a strong focus on comfort with plenty of onboard see if he quit. powerful v 8 gasoline engine. it wasn't just a matter of watching the car under the market but also positioning the new brand but also presents a. after the launch of the ls 400 m.

the smaller easiest to 50 in the u.s. in 1809 b.l.s. from the lexus brand. new models were added like the more affordable g.s. of n. b r x debuted in 1998 and was one of the vehicles that established the premium segment setting standards in comfort and much everything on the r.x. set itself apart from existing s.u.v. . lexus achieved another technical milestone in 2005 with the r x $400.00 each. marcus berger says the r.x. was a pioneer in hybrid technology which has since played a very strong role in all lexus models lexus sees it as the current answer to the

debate on alternative dry systems because it's very practical a vehicle drives on electric power up to 50 percent of the time but it doesn't have to be charged externally because it's a self-sufficient system so it's not affected by a lack of charging points. the latest version of the r x which has just been introduced is the facelift and 4th generation it features additional welds to increase the rigidity of the body new dampers reduce weight and boost driving dynamics safety systems have also been upgraded the latest generation of elections safety system plus provides even more driver assistance and better accident prevention and of course there are also other new touches. since lexus have redesigned their trademark grill the new honeycomb shape takes his cue from the. you actually cross over which was launched here in germany earlier in

200-1000. that's 5000 monseigneur. there's a sleek new design for the headlights also redesigned is the lower bumper with white units and prominent underbody protection lexus says there have been 4 keep pillars in its history design technology performance which not only includes engine performance and what it calls takumi craftsmanship. marcus explains had to cooley's in chapin or craftsman or even engineers who have worked across industries for at least 25 to 30 years to be recognized as dick and the these are the people who want to improve their products and their work habits who are always on the lookout for small details to perfect them even further that

ultimately results in a quality seen in the choice of materials but also and the build quality for them is especially in the interior of your bones and i must say also. if i'm in the hall meeting often. today they are anxious alexis's best selling model inside besides an updated design there are new features the multifunction display is now a touch screen and easier for the driver to reach this system can also be operated by voice control there is an inductive charging station in the center console from a while for us lexus is also breaking new ground to bring well heeled clientele and the contact with the brand for example with its loft by lexus lounge at brussels airport it's not focused on cars but creates a brand apis fear with the zine architecture and music.

it's topped only by lexus has recently introduced why 650 luxury yacht for 3 decades lexus has been committed to luxury and is today successfully represented in more than 90 markets around the world. for if you want to is correct says that although many people in big cities don't use a car there are still high demand for private cars and urban areas so nearly all of the manufacturers offer a model designed specifically for the city life audi as the a one and now there's a new sibling a new one city car for. kids i don't board of a common you know. the city covers just over 4 metres long and is around 5 centimeters higher than the normal a one to give the driver a better overview out he calls it

a young urban type so we're going to tour hamburg start up companies to see what parallels we can find between the young creatives here and now to a new city slicker sergei schwarzkopf's longboard studio is at 1st glance a shop for skateboards but there's a direct link to cars here in the form of a sound studio the idea to create the perfect sound inside a car to get as and as how you generate that perfect sound. yet if he says firstly you want as little reflection as possible then you want to set up a sweet spot where you can hear the real sound. and i just think that's not something you can do in a car you know as upset as it is to go how do you still get as you glass agrees adding that the driver doesn't sit in the middle of the car either but there is an acoustic triangle between 3 loud speakers in the car one and the door one in the air. pillar and one on the dashboard as they position the sweet spot so that it's

exactly tailored to the driver plus you have the same speakers on the right and the left so in a vehicle you actually have 2 sweet spots unlike in a sound studio. to get the music to sound right there's quite a bit of adjusting needed for the car you also have to take the ambient noise into account. because it's a copious is the important thing you want the same sound quality even when very loud ambient noise. does wonders what happens if instead of a great force you have more of a squawk like him and that is sure to give it a try. as agrees to sing. even if the balance isn't quite right at the start with surrogates so much as a squawk becomes something quite respectable. but the music in the sound system heads for his next destination the $85.00 kilowatt 3 cylinder gasoline

engine can celebrate the city carver to an impressive top speed of 190 kilometers per hour. stop school design which produces practical boxes for shoes. not just things they have a lot of great looking shoes here he asked the size of this pair. and i'm going to have that's his size don't take my to says the trouble is as soon as you wear a pair of shoes like this they decrease in value it's the same with a one city carver you drive 3 kilometers out of the showroom and it's lost a significant amount of value. at least he had 3 kilometers of fun. in cars have both become lifestyle products but he points out that she was aren't the shop's main business they make by. oxes for those shoes he wonders how he can make

a link between the boxes and cars. by the. designer bjarne yessica says both start with a design and then this one is key to how it gets received. is it something special or new do people see a certain benefit or something desirable that says this product apart from the rest and he thinks that's the goal of product design. does it offer something new that gives you a specific take away. the. noise good kids. might just guesses that only probably has a different approach he has to audi representatives with him the company's design team has over 400 employees who work in a huge building. machine audi's thomas bruno says there's a big design system that creates the whole thing 1st and the finished product is

always a team effort there's a big team that puts in a lot of time and love and passion to produce a vehicle like that. thinking about it car sized boxes you wouldn't be a bad thing could be a gap in the market back to the one city car for the car is only available with gasoline engines a fully digital instrument cluster comes to standard and is packed full of technical systems to make driving more pleasant and safer the optional and them i navigate plus infotainment system guides much as reliably to his next stop a startup called kaiser an agency that organizes big events and shows the right lighting is always keen. counts course so many kaiser says safety is obviously a big factor they have on stage concepts where are. it's performed breathtaking and

dangerous tricks and so it's important that it's safe just like in the car industry . you know how do you still an arborist or agrees that light is mainly a safety feature it's about seeing and being seen and out he has a dynamic indicator at the rear because they realize you're more likely to notice things in your outer peripheral vision if they're moving. as far as he's concerned the main thing is that head lamps me to be bright. 2 months is brightness is essential but with headlamps in particular the color is also important how do you choose a color that's most like daylight so that the drivers less likely to get tired. of the color of the y. probably also plays a role on the stage. many kaiser says that's exactly right lights contribute to the entertainment value red light suggests a more dangerous moment there are so many effects and colors that create different

moods so safety is key you have a moving light on a car bright daylight for greater safety on the stage spotlights on the artist provide more safety but then there's this entertainment aspect can that be transferred to the car i can't say i mean if you don't aggressively so i'm going to turn my headlights red. tilman says on the exterior that's true but in the interior of the a one city carver you can choose between 30 different colors so every week you could create a different mood in your car. prices for the one city cover begin at $22100.00 euros in germany. not just says in a city like hamburg which often has heavy traffic you have to watch out and a compact car that nevertheless allows you to sit a little higher. very practical. quite satisfied with the city carver and with all

he's learned today about lighting and sound and designs i. next time i'm driving a compact power as you need a car with 221 kilo once a power. and the toyota she h.r. now is a more powerful hybrid. he

calls like. you can change anything in life. except your football club. creole fans follow their team through thank you. but why is that why you are forced. fans show more oil.
