on the safe side of cars and mobility right now on ramps. climate change and emissions limits have left their mark on driving for fun. sports cars may pump up the adrenaline but they also pump out pollutants like there's no tomorrow in germany sales are down to around $50000.00 a year. yet s.u.v.s have topped the 1000000 mark in germany even though they're also seen as gas guzzlers and climate killers they're the fastest growing segment of the global car district. sports cars are all about pace passion of the sheer uncompromising thrill of driving nobody. was the ford mustang is the world's best selling sports who paid the quintessential

pony car since launching 1964. the porsche 911 is another icon of modern motoring and has sold over a 1000000 units since it 1st hit the roads half a century ago. the 1st porsche was built in 1970 it had just 35 horsepower but thanks to weighing only 585 kilos it could reach 135 kilometers an hour. company. said that the last car ever to be built would be a sports car. the sports car was not merely a mode of transportation the imagination. engine company. this ultimate marriage of design and engineering promised a way of life. exclusivity independence the ideal get away from the daily grind. soon enough. cars went from being only vehicles to stars of

the legendary straight 6 engine. and as you're thrust back into your seat after shifting down a gear you get that real sports car feeling. these are cars that unleashed powerful emotions for some they're objects of desire embodying that ultimate freedom of movement. for others their unwelcome relics of an environmentally unfriendly past. but environmental responsibility and sports cars can also go hand in hand the new porsche tycho on is powered by a 560 kilowatts and it's all electric sports car you can drive with a clean conscience.

hello and welcome to all sphere today we're going to have a look at this. the goal of the x e 40 isn't exactly a new car compact and c.v. claimed the european car of the year trophy in 2018 and its fresh looks made the swedish best seller a real crowd pleaser. you can also choose a contrast in the roof color to make your car really stand out. or to be precise because the. twin is. the 1st plug in hybrid poa
12:40 pm
train for this car according to w t p it only needs around 2 to 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers which. almost sounds too good to be true. the plug in hybrid combines a $180.00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 channel want electric motor and front wheel drive hybrid drive trains always add weight to a car thanks to the 2 engines and the battery and at 1900 kilos the x e 40 is no exception. it's quite nice but you can feel those waves now the x c 40 has never been a review of speeding all the stuff you definitely penfield the polish will stop exhilarating but with around 7.3 seconds from 0 it's all 100.
12:41 pm
combination when you when you races. but speed was never the point of this fall though what it's aiming for is fuel economy. the hybrid system pegs mean different driving modes named hybrids and power in pure you'll get all electric driving meaning the car is on the he was in the electric engine it's good post proof after 125 came of age and the rain off that you know but just white lies when you'll both be driving the city after that when the battery is anything you can plug it in then charge about or use the internal combustion engine to give the battery some additional juice in the house but the system tries to combine both engines in the most effective way it's probably the mold you would drive the most in when you're outside the 30 year old we are going to use most of the time. and
12:42 pm
then there's the performance mode where both engines are running in parallel all the time to give you the maximum performance for whenever you feel the need for. besides the 3 driving modes the x c 40 offers a whole range of safety systems fungal has always been at the forefront of driver safety. engineer kneels borland invented the 3 point seat belts for the car maker back in 1959 the german patent office named the belt one of the 8 inventions that most benefits humankind during 100 years and in 1905. with head side in neat airbags the volatile x e 40 scored top marks in the euro n.c.a.a. p. crash test. emergency brake assist and active lane keeping assist come standard. class cross traffic a loop warns you of vehicles approaching from the side and braking support automatically applies the brakes in order to avoid
12:43 pm
a collision. but there's one problem with all the safety systems and that's not the systems themselves as they were pretty much flawlessly it's the way you control them because to activate or the activate these systems you have to do for through the and for payment stream there are menus on top of menus that open up even more menus and i don't know or maybe it's just personal preference and after a week or so of driving the car you will eventually master the system but personally i don't really like. ok so the user interface of the infotainment system might need an overhaul but what about fuel consumption. sleeping in the countryside probably isn't the best territory to achieve consumptions that are close to being 2.5 and. so for 100
12:44 pm
kilometers. i'm not saying that the impossible to achieve those numbers but driving here throughout the day most of the time in the hybrid we ended up with something flawless tools have a 100 kilometers so what's the verdict and a hefty starting price of $49000.00 euros the x e 40 with its new plug in hybrid engine has both the advantages and disadvantages he might expect on longer trips this heavy s.u.v. tends to guzzle the gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleep looking volvo will get you there economically and safely. our cities are failing us. affects us all is this all future generations can look
12:45 pm
forward to i like to have a city where i don't need to worry about the machines and frankly what do we do to improve the way we move in our cities to build but it's very smart to join us on a journey where architects engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. traffic chaos some of the toughest in the. world wide every day. there are some 47000000 cars on germany's roads enough for 2 of the 3 adults to be driving at the same time. that's the highest level ever in berlin alone 87000 new cars were registered in 2019 despite growing traffic problems. like lots of public transport with ok bicycle. and we see all the cars next to the universe the building right. people like the students basically have free public
12:46 pm
transport and they come by car and i think that's not good. all over the world urban traffic pollution is choking use of the air we need to bring. people around the world are demanding change. now after more than 100 years is the cars dominance of our ever more crowded cities finally coming to an end. brian environment is occupied with cars and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a more maître way and the future of the city is the future of mobility in a new way. the global design studio graft is developing visions of our future urban will belittle. 'd its founders last cook a bag and thomas villa mine are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture they expect future generations to have far more choice in how they
12:47 pm
move around their cities. will be the child all of us. will probably walk quite. some distance because the neighborhoods will be without too much traffic jump on a car maybe their leads then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on the working place. flying taxis could be a spectacular urban upgrade but travel enough for the masses the biggest changes will affect cars especially our own private ones of which there are more than 1000000000 worldwide. there will be in no baldry anymore between public transportation and individual traffic of the separation of both has a lot of birth cities that we see today. but what could take the place of private cars. emissions free highly flexible public transport system.
12:48 pm
our urban mobility could depend on vehicles like the move or the tech underpinning the mover comes from a german company. it's meant to demonstrate how one platform can fulfill many needs . to move or could be used for the transport of people. for transport of goods. traffic transport of people. in germany car sit unused for 23 hours a day on average each wasting about 12 square meters in parking spaces. that's as big as the typical german child's bedroom. in the u.s. cities like houston are struggling to overcome decades of urban planning that has given more space to cars than anything else. the more you have reduced the
12:49 pm
dimensions of the vehicle of course we achieve that by moving the drive units into the wheels themselves placing the technical components as far into the corners as possible to make more interior space years of. and that frees up space on the road so. shrinking vehicle footprints are just one part of shufflers mobility vision. this award winning prototype can carry 4 people to their destination cleanly autonomous li inflexibly in. the city we're aggressively change as we share mobility if it is public or private leaving the possibility for the soon to come back to the people meaning we need less parking spots. we basically need the cars or the planes or the drones whatever it is too long so we need new spaces.
12:50 pm
in the near future digital networking will drive our mobility. shufflers idea forces people using autonomous vehicles from a fleet working 247. these multi-functional emissions free vehicles to transport people and goods or provide services by sharing the vehicles people could free up huge areas of space previously dedicated to parking but all we really ready to have robots driving everywhere. i need guns cause the hood is the one major hurdle is legal vehicles like that are not really covered by the current legislation we'll have to make many adjustments to legal frameworks and the lack of legal security surrounding autonomous vehicles is putting the brakes on development that you don't . need because if you look at we really afford to lose any more time.
12:51 pm
the generations of young people who will inherit our cities are already looking for quick and direct ways of improving our urban lives now we can do 2 things firstly politically challenge all politicians that we want to have a city where we want to live in where we don't. see cars and parking lots everywhere well where we can go everywhere and i'm not afraid that a collar hit us secondly we can do it ourselves we can take the bicycle to work to university to school with them by. the metro for the underground and we can take a partner trance out. the german city of outspokenness trying to get cars out of the city by offering free public transport in the central zone. since january 2020 people can also take out a mobility subscription that gives them unlimited access to the city's fleet of bikes and cars the package costs around 3 years 50 per day. it's one change among
12:52 pm
many that are needed. we need an overall traffic management as well as the infrastructure as well as a payment system a ticket system and things like this of course future mobility has to be affordable it might pay for itself with ads like the internet does these days. just imagine that driving all mobility is actually clean and for free why because it's the 3rd place where you can work with driving as you know it's automatic you don't have to take care of that it's shared with other people it's connected so basically the people that run advertisements in these to places while you're working they pay for the right so i think a city where we don't have costs. has much more space for our troops. has more from space for the people and i think a city with all costs can have a lot more opportunities than a city with calls. a city without cars for many people that's hard to imagine.
12:53 pm
but things are beginning to move in that direction the question is what do we want to do with the space when the cars have gone. we discourse on that topic. these could be i'm a texan. 27 years. i've not been easy. i have 4 children 3 boys and. my wife and you. want to know that. you got to move me from trying to go to war.
