these places in europe are smashing all the records. step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you record breaking sites on google maps, youtube, and now also in book form. hey mercedes, can you please read the massage function? hey mercedes, my babies. ah, we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport. he'll pull the electric with my the guy who reads the auto

and with electric quiet and futuristic is the mercedes. each us the best electric car in there with the struggle with the british. is this the most dangerous in the world without it was in the field. this is not old and open. volkswagen me activates the dcf label. does that make the id for both? you know, we got to enter one in the form one at the back. the only way is up for rad. bring on the mountain. plus it made quick work is to have been as it was, i don't know. i know, hatchback,

that is ridiculous. and i mean it, in the nicest way possible, it's ridiculous where here in chinese with dylan in the middle of the out and like we had here with us today in the eighty's been e q. and it is the 1st all elected god that mercedes has designed and made from the ground that they've done manual electric vehicle architecture. what do you want to find out today? is this the best luxury, the electric vehicle in the way right now? in fact, i think my thing over there is as you, yes, i am. let's find out here. my city, who is the man who created you the 1st mercedes was a race 35 strong. all those great may 1st and say the thinking mr. electrification electrification to transportation,

customizable, etc. that is luxury for us with the law. do you know what i mean? it is unbelievable. one of the reasons mercedes is so proud of the e q f is because it is currently the most edward dynamic production card in the world with a jack coefficient of just 0.20. and they've done everything to make sure that the car is as arrow dynamic as possible, starting from what they call the one boy design, which makes sure that the cars sweep from the bonded all the way through the roof lane down to this somewhat high tail that ends in a spoiler. i was really curious to see what this word echoed, beating drag coefficient meant when the e q s 580 was in motion. so i immediately put it to the test. all those. ah,

yeah. and it forces you back into the seat. i'm over the power delivery is immediate. how my sales managers could see. this is the fact that the 107.8 kilowatt hour battery, it manages to deliver power of $523.00 p. s to then i need both units. you'd like to convert. yeah. i know miss mercedes that you like to show off your skills, but let me finish my thought about what the power figures mean and electronically limited. top feed of 210 k p it and 0200 in just 4.3 seconds. now let's continue with letting miss mercedes help me with the consumption figures, the average consumption star adds up to 14.4 kilowatt hours from 100 kilometers. if you look right here, you see this figure that says consumption. 14.5 from start, which means 14.5 kilowatt hours, 400 kilometers have been consumed. this seems like

a fairly efficient amount of energy to be using, and i'm quite happy with it. because that consumption figure i got his party because i was going downhill on the head, been bends of the out. but i use the opportunity to try out the entities, recuperation modes the car comes with d plus with the least recuperation d with moderate amounts of the corporation. and the very efficient b minus mod, all controlled by the handy little paddle shifter behind the wheel. things where all these core st, i'm going to put it into the minus and then honestly, right now i don't have to bake at all the guys doing all of it for me. and it's also being incredibly energy efficient. all this efficiency leads to an astounding range of 780 kilometers in the us, 40 plus and 676 kilometer than the e q. s 580. and this technology will filter down to every car that comes out.

mercedes is e v a and emmy car platforms, a milestone for mercedes and green mobility. we want to be lead and like to drive and to we have obviously proved here. and we want to continue that for from the ask us to the 8 helps them. another fascinating aspect with the e q f is that it can handle charging rates of up to 200 kilowatt a, d c charging stations. which means you could potentially get a range of 260 kilometers after charging the e q. s 580 for just 15 minutes or 300 kilometers after charging the e q. s $450.00 plus for 15 minutes. plus mercedes gives european e q f customers, one year of pre charging at i on it is stations. there we go. to experience this, i headed to an eye on at the station where the cruel twist of fate meant that i picked the one charger that was out of order. okay, so if you come to the inside of the car, you will see that even though. 7 it is in charging, the e. s is very clear that it's not the cause point. so if you go there that the

little message that says the vehicle isn't retarding anything quite off the timing station. nicely displayed on the desk. i was in a hurry to lead, so it's good that i was in a car with an outstanding the end. so i was still able to experience a why the free dr. made all the more exciting by the e q. s. as of your actual steering the wheels on the 580 that i was driving turn to 10 degrees, which meant that the over 5 meter long car had a turning circle of just 10.9 meters. that meant big fun. it's a proper proper, proper hairpin. why look at that? it made quick work of the hair been as if it was, i don't know, i tiny little hatchback. and on a series of endless hairpin bands, i don't feel like i'm doing any work at all. and now back to my friends.

ah, a lovely b in switzerland and i've said it before, the air is really clean. except here though we had some bay friendly, very nice cows. let's just say that they smell a little natural and i don't like this and we'll get back in the most ab quick confession. another reason for my how did the party was that i have some kind of a phobia of cause. having been teased by one of the little girls, so, you know, the funny thing is, the minute i got back into the car, i realized that i couldn't smell the coals anymore. and what i also realized was the reason for this is the fact that mercedes has to long attend liter, 80 p, a air food are in there, which means that it keeps our dust, it keeps out, fallen, and it keeps out. any bad nashville smells that the very friendly swift goes my

attend your way. so it's an added bit of luxury that helps isolated from the outside world in this luxurious electric car. now the e to is, is an electric interpretation of the van use of mercedes is flagship is class, which means the chances of being sure for driven are quite high. the whole point of a car like this is that you're isolated. the passengers from the door, which leads to is really comfortable driving experience. are you comfortable passenger experience? in fact, if i wasn't so distracted by this with mountain said, i might even consider taking a nap. and since we've been having quite a few early mornings driving the sky, i think i'm going to do just that right now. so chauffeur t save as calmly as you can. it's a very polite car,

which means that if you don't have a chauffeur on hand to open the door for you and it's a feature that you're missing, the car will open the door for you all on it's on. why thank you mercedes and even though i'm in the car, i don't actually need to lead over and shut the door myself. all i need to do is press on the brake pedal and the door was gently set for me. another impressive feature in the if u. s. is the massive, $56.00 inch hypoth screen that runs from it below to a below. it's in fact 3 separate screens, but seamlessly integrated and put the dash as one unit. the driver displays all the information the driver needs. the center display has everything from navigation to media. additional settings and the passenger display will allow the front passenger to youth entertainment functions will bring it into the future with these they took the parts, do have much more space. there is no middle console. you see it in the car. you

have like an open middle console, so you, you get new features in it. and that's really nice because then you can play with more colors, more materials, and bring a new atmosphere in that car. ensconced in the low julius endears of the e q s i decided to spend some time with the artificial intelligence system on offer k mercedes. how can i help? please slow down the most hard function on the driver's seat. driver seat. my phone is planned on all that for you weird. it feels like tiny little hands up walking out of the sea then patting me. hey mercedes, can you please read off the massage function here, mercedes? my baby. may i help you? i don't like the my side to make it stop. i'm sorry. can you say that again? please make my side stop. i'm begging you. oh,

i have no idea what the heck is going on. this is getting really hard to hands up poking me through the leather. i am boiling, i don't like decide to visit intelligence one made. i think she really messing with me and she has to miss the in pain. because i was an a production model of the u. s . 5 d b. i didn't take any of the glitches to seriously, in fact, i even decided to head to emanating into expedients. mercedes is next level in artificial intelligence. their level to be taught mis dr. pilot, which will be available in the s class later this year. and the e q. s. next year. though, we have really 3 major front facing sensors. also on the corner radar of the camera sera camera, the lighter and the radio. and they substitute each other really neatly and

perfectly. and then it was my turn to get behind the wheel over the years pilot has taken over. i see that took place. i know that it's getting on. it's on all my daughter. that same pictures. well the god is very funny. this is like the novelty of what i'm experiencing is unbelievable. so peace of mind is something that's hard to quantify, but i can feel it right now. so that's life. when the net in the system believes it has encountered a situation is gone, hand leg the police guy needed to make way for it shouldn't be a series of signals and hand control back to me. i could activate it again for the buttons. wow. that was interesting. i feel obsolete as a de la. yes,

thank you. must have made me feel completely obsolete. and after making me feel completely redundant, miss mercedes put me firmly in my place and had the slough. after it all came loose cds. i think it's time for you to take a nap. now your questions keep me awake. i also had a moment to reflect on my favorite thing that fabulous deal excell steering. i have to say that i've never given any manner of mountain road or here ord with as many bins as i have driven today and been this relaxed nowhere. no car. no. how is this the best luxury even the wood? well, all things considered. i think it could possibly be exactly that. it is a mercedes through the feel of the invaders, the build quality of the car, the way it handles on the door. when it comes to electric cars,

everybody has something called rudy and anxiety when you have it in the 780 kilometer. there's absolutely no reason to be why did i thought this seems to be a step in the day detection for the company? and i think it's interesting the fact that they want to switch over the way they build cars. so everything is now built round up as an evie, if the future is electric because we are constantly being boy, that it is that i agree with. if you want more reb, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world rep can make you very happy. vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us that you tube slash d w rep, and you'll always be up to speed ah

him and lie a president of the picnic museums in time in baton, written back is at the wheel of a roaring monster. the infernal machine is called brutus. an aircraft engine applies $750.00 horsepower to full sin wheels on wooden rims was the engine running? it's a sensation. and when he rubs up, it can hardly iran for all the power of it wraps up. and you just and the raw by this engine on was school and then all you can do is make sure you handle it. but if you just let your feelings run free, will things start to happen with it took 8 years to get brutus up and running. him and leah and other museum association members started work on one of the

exhibitions highlights in 1998. they mounted and historical 47 liter aircraft engine on the chassis of a vintage american la phones, motor car from 19 o 7, dan woodward engine was standing there. and we thought what would happen if we were to run mach, that? how would that be all the order gone broke off the restoration process a couple of times because we were afraid of what the car will do with us. ac vendor because the engine walton is going to fly. and we will use your opinion to draw before heading out sly, r, y, as a whole shoe to the radiator grill. for good luck. always turn the open side up. so the luck can pour in. today it's raining, reg, without that horseshoe, and only i'm not getting into this car aldo. ah, yes, we should have been to the engine. why should we sit inside the engine room with

war? cuz the carcass, hist without a charlie of the engine, your heart pass a little calling for concentration and blood as if to say, don't do anything crazy. this car is always trying to kill you odor, but i don't know. that's just how it is on it. now i'll put the decompression lever we can take off. we couldn't also stop. ah, nobody knows exactly how fast the car can go. not even after 15 years of attempts to set new records that the air field inspire and a nearby test track are goes faster than you dare to drive it. we had an englishman here was over 70 ha, you'd already lived his life on the board. you drove 200 kilometers an hour in box or on the boss ground on those narrow tires. no, i kept pulling him back and forth. now me so we're just waiting for someone to say

loud. i'll take it as fast as the car can really go to win because it's just a little tricky. if atara blows or the chain briggs, you'd have to know exactly how far to take things. if the car has no less often. once a year, brutus fans come from all over europe to spire southwest, germany for an activity weekend. at the technology museum and brutish shows of his strength to the audience. the monster has attracted over half a 1000000000 follow as world wide on social media. alicia, generally you can say this car is irrational in figures, it's wild stuff. it's untamed the lloyd to help people have such norms lies or got a car like this are. that's a little awesome. and norm hosario pose a fascination for them. a few and i was delighted sometimes ham and lie. i tries to cruise along with brutus through the countryside, especially blocked off roads because the vehicle is not st legal

but at the end of the day when he climbs out, he's quite exhausted. ah, oh, skip. are running on empty, you feel a bit like your nerves blown out because this role is rather dangerous. it's very narrow. ok, and the cars always point one way or the other to cynthia and the spark plug. i tend to cut out when to drive slow celts again and then long. so when they fire on the car leaps ahead. no, great. then because dana with everyone gets scared in this car, i'm at some sooner. others later. and then you start run by. then you know where you belong, he behaved and go to bed at night and feel unhappy. ah, unfortunately, even a trip in what may well be the world's most dangerous car comes to an end at some point.

ah ah, what up my do it's welcome to ref, today with the or new all electric power holes from we w the id for d t. volkswagen began tagging. it's sporty as models as gti back in 1976. since then, the 3 letters have become a motoring icon, the new tag g t, x is supposed to represent the ship to electron mobility. d t x is the all new performance brand by b, w. and you can think of it of like the old electric version of the g t i and the id for is the 1st of the id

family to get the g t x bench low. we got 2 engines, one in the front, one at the back. 84 normally came with rare wheel drive. this one now is all wheel drive with 299 horse power. 6.2 seconds from 0 to 100 and the top speed is 100. 80 kilometers per hour before we at $160.00. the id for g t x is dual motors, allow for maximum, all wheel drive flexibility, making it a great touring option, a corners confidently. and the lack of a gear system or mechanical link between the axles is a great boost for speed and efficiency. the duel motor power train is fully integrated into the id forest drive management system. could you also controls the brakes and suspension? the control system determines how much torque each electric motor needs to balance

efficiency dynamics and ride stability. now what the change with the dx is the towing capacity of the id for because in the normal version, you could only tow up to 1200 kilograms in here with the g t x in now can tow up to 1400 kilograms which is especially interesting for people that got things like a bolt, all horse, you know, the usual stuff, the id for g t x comes with a 77 kilowatt battery with a w l t p reported range of 480 kilometers. can be w says fast charging at $125.00 kilowatts, can add another 300 kilometers in about half an hour as you'd expect. the 4.58 meters long id for g t. x has a sporty appearance which has a lot to do with 0.29 drag coefficient. the front air intake has a high gloss,

black finish, and the stack of 3 alley d's and the outer intakes give the car a unique look radar. the roof and rear spoiler also come in black while the new re designed rear bumper features are diffuser insert in gray. there's no shortage of g t x markings around the body work. and inside the trunk has a volume of up to 1575 leaders inside the d t. x hasn't changed that much compared to the normal id 4. but there are some nice details you can spot. first of all, there's this nice to look at spotty seat, which fits very nice, very comfortable, but still gives you that yes, spotty look. and that was kind of a small critique point in the normal id for the quality overall is much better. i mean, you've got nice decorative stitching here, and yet everything fears

a lot more high quality than before, which i really like. and you get this nice to look at g t x logo at the steering the id for g t. x has a base price of $50415.00 euros in germany with government eco discount incentives possible. which only leaves one question, should you buy the d t x instead of the idea for? well, probably comes down to personal preference or what you prefer, if you are more of a sporty driver that likes performance, likes driving fast, then this is definitely your choice. if you are more than economic a driver, well, the id for should give you plenty of power to satisfy your needs. but if you have a boat or horse law, just in general, need to tell a lot of things. then you definitely need the t x to sum up the id for is

a pleasure to drive sporty, uncomfortable, and quick when it needs to be the interior and exterior design is easy on the eye and its new toe strength is very useful. on the down side, the interface for air conditioning and volume is the same clumsy one as in the gold age. so enjoy the ride and we'll see you next time on red and blue with
