our lola. people have to say 1st to us. that's why we listen to stories reporter every weekend on d w. i . we are living during the most extraordinary time history. runs ford will go for the electric because. it meant that the. rev the model and mobility show. do we really need all these vehicles. of

traffic jam. some people are dreaming of a life with less traffic we want to have a city where we don't just see cars and parking also everywhere. so what might the city traffic of the future it look like. just imagine driving home the ability to scratch you clean and for free i but where should we go if we still think driving cars is a lot of fun. our customers cover all different vehicle groups. and could you master the safety systems on valvo award winning hybrid x e 40. 4 x e bay for the activity of the systems there are many menu with the more menu be on the safe side of congress and mobility right now on rec.

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 for the global card history. sports cars are all about pace passion and the sheer uncompromising thrill of driving nobody but. god the ford mustang is the world's best selling sports to pay the quintessential pony car since its launch $964.00. but porsche 911 is another icon of modern motoring and a 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 boss said that the last car ever to be built would be a sports car. the sports car was not merely a mode of transportation it stirred the imagination. and you complained of. this ultimate marriage of design and engineering promised a way of life. exclusivity independence the ideal get away from the daily grind. soon enough sports cars went from being only vehicles to stars of both the big and small screen.

you know one game consuls 2. in the virtual world these cars deliver plenty of action. some new models now even get launched in video games. and if that what's your appetite how about one of the. actually a stinger. the b.m.w. 440 i grant. my go to the lexus l c $500.00. of course to really put cars like these through their paces you need a race track. or at least a test track like the one in lead to. our clients who attend our training courses cover all different vehicle groups motor by passenger cars i pads and trucks we cater to both private individuals and commercial clients and. a quick look under the hood before we get going the

stinger has a twin turbo v. 6 engine that cranks out 269 kilowatts. is a subsidiary of south korean car giant hyundai. and the stinger is out to muscle in on the european sports car market. is german designed. to make sure it had what it takes. out on the test track nicaea shows the benefits of its all wheel drive. it tops out at 270 kilometers per hour despite need almost touch. in germany the stinger sells for a base price of around $56000.00 euros it's mix of price and performance as the nickname but.

there's nothing poor about the l. c. $500.00 which uses lexus styling in class inside and. lexus is the luxury brand of japanese carmaker toyotas were eager to show that they were among the front runners not only among hybrid cars. are matched by the way it hugs the road. it's developers who are granted triple the usual time to toil and take are away at the new model past. the results is life in the fast lane a trip that will have your heart pounding and your pulse racing. $351.00 kilowatts catapult this mean machine to a top speed of 280 kilometers an hour. and awesome feel of the wheel but a price tag of 100000 euros and. 12 leaders again for 100

kilometers. b.m.w. meanwhile are harking back to the 70s when the 3.0 c.s.l. dominated the european touring car circuit. and now the 440 i grant who pays channelling that history. unlike its predecessors on the race track it's not meant to tear up the record books when it comes with its fair share of luxury extras. and $62000.00 euros it's far cheaper than its lexus rival. its output is a relatively unimpressive 240 kilowatts but you hardly notice that when you take to the curves and hear it roar. the perfectly configured suspension is coupled with b.m.w.'s legendary streets. and as you're thrust back into your

seat after shifting down a gear you get their 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 they're 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 560 kilowatts and its all electric sports car you can drive with a clean conscience. today

we're going to have a look at this. isn't exactly a new car this 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 roof color to make your car really stand out. well what's new about the it's. to be precise because. when is the 1st plug in hybrid power train for this car according to. around $2.00 per $100.00. it's. almost sounds too good to be true.

the plug in hybrid combines a $180.00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 challenge 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 right but you can feel the weight now the extra 40 has never been a review of speeding motorists you definitely penfield the polish when you started celebrating but with around 7.3 seconds from 0 to 100 this combination with you when you race. but speed was never the point of this

fall though what it's aiming for is fuel economy. the hybrid system pegs the different driving modes name to hybrids and power in pure you'll get all electric driving meaning the car is only he was in the electric engine it's good post to go up to 100 $25.00 k.m.'s h. and the rain off to normal but just quite nice when you'll both be driving the city . when the battery is any teen you can plug it in then charge it up or use the in front of the combustion engine to give the battery some additional juice in the hybrid 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're going to do with most of the time and then there's the performance vault where both engines are running in parallel all the time to give you the maximum performance for when the. where you feel the need for. the science the 3

driving modes the x.e. 40 offers a whole range of safety systems. has always been at the forefront of driver safety . engineer kneels bulletin invented the 3 point seat belts for the car maker back in 1959 the german patent office named the belts one of the 8 inventions that most benefited humankind during 100 years and in 1905. with head side a neat airbags of all the 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 a collision. but there's one problem i've got with all these safety systems and that's not the systems themselves as they work pretty much flawlessly

it's the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems we have to do for through the and for payment stream they 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 from some things that are close to being $2.00 yukos per 100 kilometers that we're measuring i'm not saying that it's impossible to achieve those numbers by driving your world. most of the time in the hybrid we ended up

with something close to 70 or 80 per 100 kilometers i'm so what's the verdict at 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 sleek looking falvo will get you there economically and safely. to our cities are failing us. such affects us all to piece this all future generations can look forward to i like to have a city where i don't need to worry about the machines and my head what can we do to improve the way we move in our cities but it's very smart join us on

a journey where architects engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. traffic chaos. on the top. worldwide 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 those cars next to the universe the building where people like the students have free public transport and they still come by car and i think that's not. all over the world. traffic

pollution is choking us of the air we need to breathe. people around the world are demanding change. after more than 100 years is the cars dominance of our ever more crowded cities finally coming to an end to. environment is occupied with cars and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a more natural way and the future of the city is a future of morbidity in a new way. the global design studio graphed is developing visions of our future urban mobility. 'd its founders last crooked arrogant thomasville mine are specialists in urban planning and sustainable architecture of a expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. that child of of us. will probably walk

quite. some distance because the neighborhoods will be without too much traffic jump on a car maybe that leads then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on the walk in place. of flying taxis could be a spectacular urban upgrade but probably not for the masses the biggest changes will affect cars especially our own private ones of which there are more than $1000000000.00 worldwide. there will be no boundary anymore between public transportation and individual traffic of the separation of both cities that we see today. but what could take the place of private cars and emissions free highly flexible public transport system. 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 . for us to move or could be used for the transport of people. for the transport of goods during daylight traffic the transport of people and transport of goods whatever. in germany carsick unused for 23 hours a day on average each wasting about 12 square meters in parking space. 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 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 usable. and that frees up space on the road so. shrinking vehicle footprints are just one part of shufflers mobility vision with this award winning prototype can carry 4 people to their destination cleanly autonomous li and flexibly in. the city will drastically change as we share mobility if it is public or private leaving the possibility for the city to come back to the people who need less parking spots. the cars or airplanes or the drones whatever too long so we need new spaces. transportation. in the near future digital net. working will drive our mobility.

shufflers idea for people using autonomous vehicles from the fleet working 24 seventh's. 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 are we really ready to have robots driving everywhere. and again schools are good it 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 and i think that's people it's done too little to be considered but can we really afford to lose any more time. to. 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 our politicians that we want to have

a city where we want to live and where we don't just see cars in parking lots everywhere but where we can go everywhere and i'm not afraid that a collar hit us secondly we can do it ourself we can take the bicycle to work you know boston to school with them by. the metro for the underground and we can take part in a concert at. 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 many that are needed. we need the overall traffic management as well as the infrastructure as well. 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 drive will mobility is actually clean and full free why because it's a search place where you can work and driving those 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 treats. space for the people and i think the 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. 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.
