coming up brown is empowering women. oh it made them. seize. the female peacemakers stores january 5th. hello and welcome to drive by the d.w. motor magazine this week we take the v.w. r t r across a frozen swedish lake. burn up the track with a mclaren 600 l.t. . and check out the sea had to rocco's climate credentials. mountains snow and sunshine were in the south to rolled intense the siac to

rocco in winter driving conditions will put the car through its paces as we make our way through the ups to find out how this s.u.v. ambos off road situations. that make the card test very minor o'shea for says that to rocco is fun to drive in snow just set it on off road and you're good to go of course driving on ice is a little tricky but that's true for any car on the holiday that here with all of that according to. our turns vehicle is he quit with the all wheel drive system for drive but you can also choose the front wheel drive model if you don't plan to drive off road or in snow there are also options for a 6 speed manual transmission and a 7 speed dual clutch transmission. yes . i make them to get my dose is the sort of winter driving is great for me like to

stay outside a bit longer for a closer look but it's too cold and they'd like to be someplace that's warmer. but mom with her and. that's better it's morocco 20 degree sunshine and some sand if he can take a closer look at the terracotta. that's a rock it was 4.73 meters long and 1.65 meters tall that's about the same size as the skoda kodiak and the v.w. to go on all space. ok. yeah i missed it because the man will notice that camels are a popular means of transportation in morocco it's a practical way to get around camels don't move very quickly and they're not nearly

as comfortable as a 4 wheel drive vehicle. both camels and vehicles like the 2 rocco thrive in this kind of environment. but camels have another advantage over cars they don't produce much c o 2 escapee emmanuel points out that there are some paved highway here but you will more likely be driving over gravel and sand or a combination of the 2 but to rocco was built for driving in those kinds of conditions so he's going to take that to rocco for a road. this s.u.v. has a fairly high ground clearance and a torsion resistant chassis so i can handle these situations but with artistic moves like this sometimes you lose the overview but there's an optional 360 degree camera available for $575.00 euros the camera is really useful for park. in other

maneuvers. even if one of the wheels started spinning on its own that to rocco still delivers solid performance of course most people who buy this issue v. are going to drive it in punishing conditions like this still it's good to know that if you have to you can. emanuel says he has no complaints about the to rocco's jesse the vehicle seems to be able to smooth out most bumps with nice sure every once in a while you'll hit a rough patch but few cars can deliver a completely smooth ride so overall he's impressed with the 2 rocco in schools i'm . time now for saying testament 1st we've got to let a little air out of the tires to maximize the contact area. have you that your man was brought along an experienced professional driver to help out with the test

should you name your keepers on the street and they're out there by a few scant evidence that i'm often the last or the we were go to the drive in the sand then you will tell us what we need to look out for 1st the important thing is that we have to be in my world. you know the half of it more control of the separation. any moment that we need to become some speed the response of the car it's much more immediate the 2nd thing that we have the bottom line is that. the dunes are always a very soft enchanting material so we need to be well in advance the sea to be ready to change. the line of the 10th the speed of. the car through any moment that we need. but there are several other potential problems to watch out for. if we see that the. going up here like right now. it's it's always important to. get

this so we know about when we go up but only when we go down. a soreness we hear about the car. i don't know as well as it was a speed it goes down into the sun at something other that we would not want. and i hope. and you can keep it that's right so see if you feel less safe getting as i hop. out of this fear it's strange compared to driving on the road it's really something very very different. but after just a few minutes the man i will got used to driving in sant. a memo says that driving is sand is actually a lot of fun but it can be a little nerve racking when the vehicle starts to float in any case this was an entertaining test drive. and the c

o 2 rocco passed with flying colors. it already comes in a hard time now mclaren is presenting a convertible $680.00 spider uncompromisingly stripped down aerodynamically designed roadster as a $441.00 kilowatt $3.00 leader v 8 under the hood and cerise car was street cred but b.l.t. mark makes this vehicle something special. interest of a no dice and over says that the l.t. stands for long tail a car's a bit longer which is good for its aerodynamics a fixed rear wing provides traction for more at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour there is 100 more kilograms of force pressing on to the road than with other models. wouldn't get past. i'm

a clarence 600 can only use the old t. designation when it's been radically redesigned and not just the exterior of the cars 1.3 time curve weight makes the 600 lp one of the lightest vehicles in its class the airflow isn't just channel past the car it's directed right to where the engine needs it for cooling. a new top exit exhaust system contributes to aerodynamics and weight reduction. the roof can be lowered it speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour it disappears into the rear of the car in 15 seconds. in front of final says the carbon recent seats are 21 kilograms wider than normal once the wind shield is special too it saves 1.4 kilograms so weight there's no

bulky air conditioner or sat nav systems and that helps to reduce weight to try and hold adds that if you need a sat nav to drive on a racing track you're certainly not going to come in 1st. it should last for you. any element that's not needed for pure performance and precise handling has been stripped away even the glove compartment and door pockets. i know says the engine is right here to the ends of the tailpipes help to give the mclaren that's my shoulder. and at night if you floor it you can even see flames shooting out into ones about. the best way to test drive this car is on the race track thanks to launch control the acceleration of the twin turbo v. 8 is explosive the 600 l.t. can hit 100 kilometers. and just 2.9 seconds after 8.4 seconds it's

blazing along a 200 kilometers per hour still a ways from its top speed of $32047.00 speed dual clutch transmission takes over the lightning fast trip up the gears and i don't i know it says that flying around the track in a race car is a blast the mclaren $600.00 l t has everything that a race car needs a brilliant chassis great brakes and an engine sound that's music to a driver's ears that makes it fun to simply shift down and drive on the street you don't even have to go fast says ryan hold of a moment i missed you. so much in it. let's take one more look at the breathtaking specs including the price in germany the $600.00 l.t. spider sells 425-0000 euros and it's addition is limited after a year production will be discontinued.

this truck is a legend. in the current system much as kharaj says the other immobile world is changing constantly one model after the other and with new technology and better sounding names a few cars can hold their place in this environment maybe a decade or 2 but never longer yet the toyota high lux has been around for half a century what does this do to your time he looks. whether it was back in 2007 when a high lux became the 1st auto to reach the north pole during a volcano eruption on iceland for conquering the south pole in 2010 the high lux is the only vehicle that's. both ends of the year. in january 2019

i lux won one of the world's toughest races that dakar rally. for more than 15 years they toyota hi lux's been one of the toughest pick ups in the world through 8 generations toyota has managed to sell 18000000 of them worldwide highlights is known as europe's most popular pick up. doesn't matter since the 8th generation has been given a facelift at least in the most luxurious version of the truck the executive. the spruce can be seen most clearly at the front wrap around headlights emphasize the pickups width and integrate seamlessly into the newly designed radiator grille. and nearly 1.65 meters the high looks as the brothers bet of its class

a new floor assembly and reinforced front wall give this truck a big edge when it comes to loading and unloading. the interior has stayed pretty much the same and corresponds to earlier standard models . leather seats are part of the standard equipment of the highlights executive. the high looks. classifies the high lux as a commercial vehicle even though you have to admit that this pickup truck doesn't drive like a commercial one it's not a car that's really comfortable to drive or is really sharp speedy and precise and handling a pick up is a pick up and it is what it is. and pick up. the highlands has

a 2.4 leader for so many diesel that pumps out 110 kilowatts of power with maximum torque of 400 meters that makes it strong enough to tow 3 and a half tons. it's very time to take the high looks off road we flip a switch into low range so the truck can get down and dirty. even in really rough terrain the high looks easily moves over major barriers and through extremes. the high lex is equipped with high speed gear effective utilization control which determines the availability of high speed gears in real time according to driving conditions so and 50 year for example it can only be traveling at 50 kilometers per hour what 10 times the torque to climb steep hills. that mountain says some might ask who

needs a vehicle this big but if you have a business and you need to transport stuff that you don't want in the car and you don't want to van there are many alternatives to a pickup so that's a big plus for the high lux and it can go off road and pull really big loads that means a vehicle for tough jobs a utility vehicle and father. wouldn't. even notes for. it takes a lot of courage and a reliable vehicle to drive in wintry conditions this is the r.v. and c.r. region and northern sweden folks wagon and other european car manufacturers test their vehicles here. on the frozen lakes today will be putting the b w r

t on through its paces and subfreezing temperatures. b l e d headlights have been build deep into the grill to give the r.t.m. a sporty look. the vehicle measures 4.86 by one meter 87 with a wheel base of 2.84 meters. the standard equipment includes l.e.d. headlights and taillights daytime running lights keyless access chrome strips on the side windows and 17 inch alloy wheels with all those features you might consider the r t on a luxury car but it's a lot more than that. a spokesman much and who says the main thing that they wanted to do was to call attention to the r.v. hands driving dynamics it's equipped with 4 wheel drive and the powerful 205

kilowatt to leader turbo engine that gives the vehicle a lot of traction and good response you'll notice the smooth ride right away and the actual an interaction between car and driver and i thought about that because. we brought along a professional driver to help us with our test now will see what this car is really made up but these wintery conditions require some special equipment. like t. has cars says we're using studded tires which provide proper traction while you steer if we didn't we'd have to drive slower and wouldn't get much reaction from the front axle. but had to be. my key as knows all about driving under extreme conditions he says 7 times german rally champion he says the 4 wheel drive and control systems make it easy to drive this car. on ice. my team

says that rally cars often slide around on the track you often can't steer and the car just sort of drifts. and when you're driving on ice like this it's really helpful to have that sort of experience so that you know what to do. but anybody can learn to drive on ice it's really not that difficult we could be going up and i think. that. that's part of life. and it can be a lot of fun people who visit the driving experience track can climb behind the wheel themselves and structures are there to help. by tina says at the most important thing to remember as you drive into a curve is to slow down. he checks out the curve visually and then brakes to an

appropriate speed. once he's put more weight on to the front axle he over steers a little until he's through the curve. then he can start accelerating again and. driving in extreme conditions like this can help you improve your skills so you'll feel comfortable behind the wheel in just about any situation but make sure that you do your test drives in areas that are authorized and superbike. we now take a journey into the past and the technological trendsetter be open only in p.s. this one was built in 1938 the olympia was a best seller in 1935. year the model was introduced it helped all will become the

1st german manufacturer to produce more than $100000.00 cars a year and that made opel europe's biggest automaker but the oval olympia it's the car of its time in the mid 1930 s. that was opals ad slogan for its new mass production model says vintage car expert chris not by our might not look very spectacular but under its nondescript exterior is a technological milestone the olympia was the 1st german mass production model to have a unitized body and unibody construction is still the standard in car making today the biggest as it were down all. from the early 20th century on opel was a hive of innovation in 1009 its 2 seater doctor's car used any fission modular construction system. and in 1924 the 4 horsepower opel nicknamed the tree frog was the

1st german car to roll off an assembly line. the olympia made its debut in 1935 at the i a international motor show in berlin plexiglass model showed off its truss like car body framework the body and the chassis comprised a single unit that was simply mounted onto a pre-assembled drive train that included the engine and. be interior was eerie featuring as it did opals patented draft prevent a lation the car was equipped with front and rear vent windows there was plenty of space inside as well. kristen says the opal olympia really holds the road and can't be beat when it comes to safety here but then the. monocoque body gives the olympia

a much lower center of gravity than its predecessor a whole 15 centimeters lower income a nation with the end appended will suspension at the front and opals patented synchronised suspension and makes for a great road handling but they begin with opel drivers add the content themselves with just 24 horsepower it's only starting in 1938 could they get a 1.5 liter 4 cylinder engine with 37 horsepower that gave the car a top speed of 112 kilometers an hour making it fit for the autobahn. that was christopher finds the olympia's design a little conservative and some places he says you can already see the influence of general motors which bought opel in 1989 but at that time the integrated headlights were considered as specially innovative before that they were simply mount it right

here at sites because it was there when he finds most impractical is the trunk which can only be loaded from the inside making a virtue out of necessary ople claimed this offered protection from dirt at the inclement weather and theft mark good marketing has always been vital to selling cars. to start off with the olympia was available as a 2 door sedan or a convertible in 1938 when the olympia underwent a facelift opel also added a 4 door sedan to the model range but all versions featured the novel sheet metal unitized body that reduced curb weight by a good 130 kilos compared with the car's predecessor the olympia's aerodynamic front and flatter under body also reduced drag. the interior is very purist the corduroy material is robust and the more rigid passenger compartment. means greater safety for those on board feel that

christopher says under the hood is one of the 1st crumple zones in automotive history the front part of this unit ties body forms in a controlled way there's even a predetermined breaking point in this for shade front profile but there was nothing very new about the engine it was a small 4 cylinder engine which has 1.3 liters of displacement in 29 horsepower this one here was only available from 1938 it was a high performance model with 1.5 liters of capacity 37 horsepower and valves here in the cylinder head and made the olympia the best series production car and the 1938 german alpine cup and it served as the basis for all open 4 cylinder models through to the 1960 s. . earlier olympia's had a 3 speed transmission but starting in 1037 the model was available with

a modern though somewhat notchy 4 speed gearbox. the previous year opel had introduced the cadets a less costly model based on the olympia featuring a rigid axle with a leaf springs and a $1.00 leader engine it was opals version of the people's car. christo says the opel olympia really was the car of its time as the 1st mass production car to have a monocoque body had pointed the way towards the future because starting in the 1950 should anybody construction became the standard in modern auto making so christophe feels the opel olympian definitely was a milestone and automotive history. be olympia's certainly lived up to the ad slogan the company began using in the 1930 s. ople a reliable production resumed after world war 2 and opel continued to produce this best selling model until 1953. the book.
