so she loved her homeland of the united states. josephine baker in 45 minutes. the adventures of the famous naturalist and explorer. to celebrate alexander from 250. dollars for the job discovery. expedition one boy's own. dr it the d. w. motor magazine this week we look at an exclusive off road on the new mercedes jean-claude. khushi s.u.v. the citroën c 5 cross. and the snappy comeback falls new focus has to.

meet in the. contest and i will show you for explains that besides s.u.v.s and al compact offerings with powerful engines are still quite popular especially the honda civic type and the go to model the v.w. golf another is the ford focus s.t. he thinks it looks quite smart but he wants to know how it drives. so he climbs in behind the steering wheel. presses the stop button i listen to the engine sound. the hot hatch s.t. version the focus has been around since 2005 it was even discontinued for a while but resurrected in 22 well now ford has rolled out the 3rd generation focus s.t. perhaps hoping it'll pick up on the recent success of his little brother the fiesta . emmanuelle

discovers the focus s.t. is in its element on these winding country roads it hugs the curves nicely responds well to the throttle and its manual 6 speed transmission shifts nice and tightly. with all the gears seem to have an even shorter throw than in the latest r.s. launch. that also has a lot to do with the adaptive damping and the neck tronic limited slip differential on the front axle and the selection of driving rods. emmanuelle experience is the focus s.t. steering as fairly direct so there's good feedback from the road but it also has relatively good self aligning talk which means the steering wheel pulls back to the 12 o'clock position but that's a good thing as it allows the driver to turn the wheel back quicker so we're keeping. working hard on the hood is

a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine based on the one powering the old focus our ass the new focus engine puts out 206 kilowatts and pushes the car to the top speed of 250 kilometers per hour. in order to take the money will accelerate through 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 6 seconds and the sound the engine produces is full and satisfying admittedly somewhat artificially synthesised but very distinctive even when heard by a bystander outside when the car flies past. the body styling can't sense the estes exterior apart from the wreckage. the focus

. it includes comma coded front and rear bumpers optional 19 inch alloy wheels bring out a sports car character. abri a spoiler makes for added downforce on the reaction. inside ricardo small seats are available on request for ideal support. an electronic brake servo with an adaptive main cylinder builds brake pressure more steadily and helps to prevent the fading effect even after repeatedly hitting the brakes hard hat. to focus the embattled points out that like the more powerful r.s. the focus s.t.

features launch control but it questions its usefulness predicting that drivers would use it twice and decide they don't really need it but even so he appreciates having it. in addition to the gasoline engine tested here a $140.00 kilowatt diesel is available for the s.t. just like it's pretty decisive the latest s.p. can also be had as a station wagon which starts at 33000 euros in germany. my father emmanuel sums up the ford focus s t v as a really well made hot hatch known as aggressive and purest because the honda civic type but also not as white bread as the gulf chante i think it's a good mix and so much fun to drive and if you take it for another space. in a hole in the. these

days almost every automaker has an s.u.v. or 2 in its lineup but real off road is a still a rare breed one that's been around for a while dismissing. in the dusk a fruit. contest the heart feels like it's gone back in time. you know it all to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. he almost expects to see a trial run in saurus rex passed by. but well not exactly passed by. he feels like he's sitting inside a dinosaur. that being the mercedes g. class oh yeah he just got me to the newest addition but imagine says it doesn't feel as new as it looks the fruit is he's got me so no i mean the company that i was thinking. technologically speaking it gets up to date yet all of

its modern driver system entertainment systems can't hide it's on each. side matthew says the g. model dates back to 979 a time when german vehicles didn't offer much in the way of space they were all narrow most shorter and lower than today's models you know the interior was quite roomy for the time. today he notices that it feels pretty cramped mine even though the new model is around 8 centimeters wider than the old $15.00 opt for it that's noir more. same to me. so space is limited but the vehicle is bound to have other selling points right. i'm gonna spend on the matter says hussein is she has one. special talent just

watch this. going just 50 kilometers an hour you can make the tires squeal just the way a porsche $911.00 would when taking the same curve at 100 kilometers per hour. all the is there a fog. now that's really something of course the g. $500.00 can go faster than 50 kilometers an hour it's $310.00 kilowatt for each a v. a twin turbo charger can accelerate these ball units on wheels to 210 kilometers per hour and the g. class can go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in a respectable 5.9 seconds officially fuel consumption is listed as 12 liters per 100 kilometers but that's difficult or downright impossible to achieve in practice . when it's. sitting so high up matches has a great overview of the situation and yet he can barely remember the last time he was in a car with such

a huge turning circle. but on the bright side he says with this car you can just drive over the curb if you can't turn entire. so the g. class isn't a great vehicle for parking carriages. but maybe it's just right for others. they are simply our car tester says the mistake is gee classes only recognizable and the newest version won't change that. it's box in shape and angular exterior contours simply make it like no other also. though if you take a closer look you can see there are some differences from the previous model 1st then that's a stock. even if many of the stylistic elements remain the same like the wind shield. the

flat. and the distinctive slide molding trim others have changed there are new bumpers headlights and turn signals the door edges around the shoe you can hear the difference when closing them. the tail lights are flatter and use technology. and masseuses if we go even further back to the yankees and to 979 when i was one of those introduced 4 years ago. completely different again. that's out. practical features instead of smart chrome trim that was an advantage when traveling cross-country as were the 16 inch steel wheels considered quite large

back then what hasn't changed over the years the turn signals are still found on the front wings. the spare tire is still mounted on the back. there monday. this is both of these cars along to christiane. this wonderful castle where we've been invited today. after the 2 men say hello christian looks and sets things straight he says under the cars belong to him that he does house weddings are canceling likes to greet their guests and today is happy matters is here with and i saw. much as comments that the castle in the g. class and exactly things you need in daily life. is this christian says you stay true to the g. class because he likes the old. he uses the old regime model to take hunting and this one to drive. anything that's what matters imagines getting into the g. class in a flowing down would be a tight squeeze christian admits there's not as much room as you think so you hopes

the new version will offer much more space. is who should really think ocean finds a little craft for. those matters even though he's not short of them kristie i don't know if you can name. things a designer should have sacrificed a bit of cargo space to give passengers more leg room. glasses agrees but he says at least they have a great seat belts about. some fun of these when he really doesn't like these events and he thinks they're around shape contradicts the. entire concept of keeping out all those. forms on christian suggest they sit up from time to things out matches even lets him drive. in the puts it quickly becomes clear that the jeep class is much more than a trendy s.u.v. for hauling groceries though christian gives it a real workout in rugged terrain the vehicle takes everything in its stride.

matters ask question what he thinks. of the guys that he's thrilled and calls it a technological masterpiece that. if we like the business such a big difference to what he has now come for class there's no comparison christian says it drives like a dream no bumps nothing in absorbs the pipes. but what good is that if the vehicle is seldom or never used to offload due to its high price or the fear of scratches and scrapes. with allan fels castle disappearing in the mirror behind him to match his delivers his verdict was coming because he says he can understand christians enthusiasm from father. to save his class really is a great vehicle for driving. christian really wasn't driving

slowly yet matus didn't feel it go over any potholes all sticks and stones on the ground. but he also did notice that the front rigid axle has been replaced by independent suspension though in terms of off road capabilities the g. class still has 3 differential locks. so it's a great off roader. but it actually says missing class is also a great gas guzzler so don't expect to match official fuel consumption and even though it's got more margin here it is still a child 50. plus the vehicle is incredibly hard to maneuver mattresses lots of vehicles can do what the class can and do it better. the only thing they don't have is the cult following. so magister advises buyers to look beyond the hype purchasing new vehicle.

and today car tester in his future is trying out a new model in the s.u.v. segment the citroën c 5 aircraft available in germany since early twenty's. but its main selling points would seem to be design and comfort. it's marketed in one or 2 countries and it wants to find out how it hopes to win the car buyers hopped. up to either sci fi there cross possesses all the features of an s.u.v. such as the wide skirts and the rounded flowing contour as major design elements. and then of course that you know this points out a unique design feature. the front is the split grow the upper part includes the daytime running lights and turn signals while down below the head last got an

indentation to accommodate citron double chevron logo. bumper inserts and bumps in different colors going to find that i was out looking at the sea far from the side of the roof was floating above the body and windows other carmakers have been playing with this effect as well it's a chain used by making the m.b. pale as glossy black which also seems to stretch the body out. of black roof and acetyl from the body when i see shapes. pick up does and that. highlight at the rear is the smart design of the tail lights with the 3 d. effects. the 1st thing in a series when she climbs into the c 5 across is the superbly up post and cigarettes

. that's a decisive factor in making this as you're comfortable with. it is especially like the combination of materials gives the interior by some high quality and a stylishly modern look the only part she doesn't like that much all the while this charging pounds for a smartphone last. they looked as if the designers had lost their inspiration. i think for me she would have liked a nice covering. the buttons for the driving modes and nearby and if you compare them with how the charging pads seem a little slap down. the. top rating to the illuminated storage compartment of the center console it accommodates even water bottles. the modern design of the. as a digital copy table to display a diversity of information. for

an especially comfortable ride citron is a critical european versions of the c. 5 across with advanced comfort suspension additional hydraulic stops allow for better absorption jolts unlike a purely mechanical stops they also prevent excessive rebound. we tried out the more powerful of the 2 available gasoline engines with an output of 133 kilowatts coupled with an 8 speed automatic transmission it allows the car to go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in a 42 seconds with the highest trim to shine the air cross sells for just under $37000.00 euros in germany the base version starts at around $23000.00 euros.

the steering are tight giving a good control of the car added to the normal driving mode is the eco mode for more fuel efficient driving. in the sport mode the car downshifts on a lighter throttle and holds the lower gears much longer. but on the whole wouldn't say the sport mode goes all that well with the suspension set primarily for comfort personally she prefers the normal amount of time than abs that if that's where everything comes together in harmony and the 8 gears shift smoothly and the car is 133 cuba wants to. become visible. in his returns to the design pointing out a funny presentation of the speedometer. it looks. a bit like a timeline. in the fight. and this is amused by this

and says it is one more expression of citron ambition to reinterpret redesign everything. it may just be a gimmick but it certainly grabs our attention. it is doesn't see this s.u.v. navigating the forests and meadows the name and cross tends to suggest it was made to float above like a cloud and in fact it does the comfortable seats and suspension add up to a highly pleasant ride on journeys and sure. and indeed the sci fi they cross does not come with all wheel drive but starting in late 2019 it will be available in a plug in hybrid for. a beautiful blast from the past and an extremely rare one at that. is driving

a piece of automotive history the porsche name is displayed proudly at the back but this car was built into switzerland not in porches hometown of stuttgart. the. post of explains that when the auto industry was in its infancy cars were made by hand the big manufacturers only provided the shaft the engine and the fittings customers had to order the body individually from a coach maker. by the 1950 s. this practice was rare but the beutler firm from switzerland continue to do excellent body work. one example is this wonderful cooper and 957 volkswagen porsche 696. ounce the foot had already established contact supporter back in one. 1486 of the very 1st porsche 356 is had bodies made by the bottle brothers including the oldest series production

porsche still in existence car numbers 003 but the coach makers had aspirations of their own. as an elegant if you play with 4 seats and superior engineering that drives like a sports car impossible. with friends if they acquired the shattering of a v.w. bug and began to hammer out a suitable body and this was the fruits of their labor the porsche pointless 696 a real like catcher. the body of the porsche $606.00 was made entirely of our mini and this particular ford or coupe a was fitted with an engine that normally powered porsche sports cars. 6 and 6 is used to reliable and cheaper mass production engine produced by fans like. most powered by the v.w. beetle angel explains christophe with a judson compressor providing extra performance that wasn't enough and this car's

1st hear that sound. engineering in the back crystal says a 4 cylinder boxer engine generated $75.00 horsepower and pushed the coup play to a top speed of 165 kilometers an hour. just the thing for those looking to live life in the fast lane in the late fifty's. though it's a product of the 1950s the borderless studies coolly understated but then the swiss do like to remain neutral the only extravagant feature is the merc radiator grille because in fact this car's engine is in the rear. the interior is monochrome color scheme looks smart with a radio. and high quality leather upholstery the beutler porsche was most luxurious and suitable for everyday use. the trunk at the front can hold quite

a lot more than just the gulf bag. and here at the back is the legendary porsche boxster engine from the $356.00 it's twins carburetors allowed to generate $75.00 horsepower this engine alone cost $3600.00 swiss francs more than the standard v.w. one crystal says it's worth every song that's in the top of the. flitting between the classy old resort towns of the island of aruba and the boiler pusher is really in its element because in its day only the rich can afford to own one. final cost of says a $957.00 this could play so for almost $20000.00 swiss francs as much as 4 standard volkswagen beetles but exclusivity has its price and the swiss could afford the better things in life. still switzerland is

a small countries are just 4 of these who pays what ever solve. the 5th one for himself and drove it until the 1990 s. . therefore as they are. just 5 of these upscale cars were the built using engineering borrowed from porsche and false foreign and a hand hammered body from a small swiss coach maker so can the boy play really qualify as a milestone in automotive history. he could put up. brothers were the 1st in europe to make a 4 seater sports could play with outstanding driving characteristics it will be many years until cars like the v.w. sirocco come free in local man to introduce the idea to the masses so for that reason christophe it fills the fog fog and porsche beutler is definitely an automotive odd stuff. and the boy who plays also one of the most beautiful cars of a minute what a shame that the tradition of making comedies by hand is slowly but surely dying
