an am g soups of the baby beds with formula one technology with the eye clinic trip and the prostate car that ruled the road in communist east germany is back. this time with an electric heart, we met the man who dead to tinker with the notorious to stretch classmate hobbyist kish took the trouble. he is a part of history doctor. it's really famous and has cult status heart art. so it's great to take it into an electric future to, to prove to film because another tunnels are a hot cost like hardcore and say it

has to make that knocking sound and stink otherwise, it's not a tropi is medical for it. but of course, this electric version has a couple of practical benefits to meet these electron search for the guns. i'm driving the whole time in 3rd gear and no because i don't need to really accelerate. it makes it feel a bit like an automatic typically are the more they go. what began as a hobby for mathias fare is now a site business. he actually runs a cleaning company, which is why he and his team developed a travel conversion case. he personified vitamins as we never wanted to come up with some kind of make ship solution i. it was for the commercial market unbeaten, which meant providing aversion that was easy to use and performed well on the road and kept the customer satisfied somewhat. for i'm and little quinta to fitness.

dashed on the e version is a no frills of fair in keeping with the true bonds style to ta but but some things you just can't replicate driving an electric, travis is an entirely different experience for the e. s. ya konica reliable comparison. we're doing 70 and the noise you hear is more the transmission than the car itself out of the electric makeover is possible with any cheaper than to model not started out as a prototype in 2012 is now a standard package, but dr. is, can either do the conversion themselves, all have bad, do it. the 1st step is to got the vehicle out us for a while now it's ready for the electric power train and all the gasoline engine parts no longer needed, have been removed and seen out in my while, the engine and attachments and the exhaustive, the original ignition they're all gone it and the fuel tank, and that's actually fit up front in

a turban to tongue. it's all gone down. i awful my anguish from pop on that. is it so now on, we're ready to refitted as an electric car. i have to buy as an a class to appreciate what electric travis really means. it helps to look back at least germany's beloved and hated automobile. a bunch did fill the trip on came from a state car makers accelerating and spic out and was built there till the end is to let's give out the 1st heavy road of the assembly line on november the 7th. 1957 fires typically faced a 10 year weight and a price tag equal to a year's wages. it's body was made of plastic fiber composite resin due to steel shortages. the tabby was also a manifestation of the shortages that typified east germany economy. in german trouble means companion or satellites. inspired by the soviet sputnik, the world's 1st artificial satellite launched into obit that same year shortened

tabby. the car became the companion of east germans for generations. it's while the others commit was used for everything, making out making babies, people slept in that law, camped out in them and covered big distances in them. so as long as they had enough spare parts with that and visuals that style monmouth, how do i real hm. when people came back from a trip, the 1st question was not how was the vacation, but did the car hold our had sound, you'd sometimes see alternators discarded on the side of the autobahn. this machine did a home logon. the most savvy tribe drive is always carried extra spark plugs and nylons as a substitute fan belt. the car itself weighs in just under $600.00 kilos. it's night weight makes it ideal for electric conversion as it needs less power to get it. moving on tips models, we fit a 12 kilowatt motors,

which means it has the same output as the gasoline powered tra, bond from default, and it's really important for the vehicle licensing that we don't change the performance issues. fungus fun drop off on these. and paula is comb with done t unclip, spotty. these are electric batteries, stoved we put in 30 or 60, depending on the range is little search too strict. i think about bell. i'm uses house trick here. we see the heart of every e. v. 's the battery pack, unclipped, spotty. i like the original shabby design, mathias bez, electric conversion kit is no frills. just the batteries, charges and fuse books in the back and the mesa up front. ritual english of the i and we wanted to retain the true bonds. simplicity initial, in other words, no complicated controls and electronics and according on earth come,

there are some different components in hub and as high for example, here we have the main monitor classes. we've been in classic in the car style. it has a battery display tag which currently shows 100 percent large build. this particular d i y converted shavanne is almost ready mathias bag gives the added parts and general set up a check before passing it on to the official test. or duncan. now the car can go up to the inspectors of non unplugged and ready to roll. the only thing holding back owners of a he, travis, is battery range. in the old days, tribe drive is faced a different kind of limit to their movements. thanks to the cold. oh of alive or kind to boy they never re we were a symbol of freedom. hyatt, king lewis,

north freedom came in 1989 when the wall came down, latravius drove across into the west and oils in york. all that was freedom or if i really they were a symbol of mismanagement. so centralized economy and material shortages, martinsville trust, the fool if the wool meant the end of the tragedy to their wits, he is among the workers at the saxon ring factory. as the last of the 3000000 units rolled off, the production line in 1991, travis would become increasingly rare in we unified germany before then. nostalgic . come back up on it is horrid irish. they've now got a passionate fan base aggressive jobs them, and they're even considered a financial investment as we help unlock it. they've practically become vintage a model is fine. lots of fans are fixing them up to look better than when 1st bill parish knows that that definitely gets the emotions going to affect, showing them return of hidden fung. there are still around 38000 tribe easing weird

it's predecessor was the 190 sedan, launched in 1982 and dubbed the baby bens in the us due to its 4.4 meter length. the 190 and its successors were successful contenders and the german touring car championships before withdrawing in 2018. the am g base model at the time, the 190 e with a 2.5 liter cause we're the engine was limited to just 500 units to day in original condition evolution or evo, to sales 430-0000 euros. the one ninety's era, as the smallest merck was ended in 1997 by this curious looking sub compact. with some critics questioning its mercedes credentials. it was the birth of the a class. however, the car makers venture into the less lucrative and less glamorous sub compact

segment is set to end after almost 3 decades from 2026. anyone looking for a low price, mercedes will likely have to fork out at least $44000.00 euros based on today's prices for the c $180.00 coup. while mercedes promises luxury on 4 wheels, it's am geez, job to provide exclusive visuals and power with a range of options fashioning the desired look. and they've added race, car engineering to give the 4 cylinder engine the right kind of performance. with on paper the see 40 three's performance looks very impressive with its 2 liter 4

cylinder engine generating 408 horsepower. that's quite an achievement for a paltry 4 cylinders, less impressive or the high c o. 2 emissions at more than doubled the 2022 in standard with the cars loose functions drivers have 500 newton meters of torque available. that rockets the see 43 to 100 kilometers an hour in 4 point. 6 seconds. not bad for a 4 cylinder unit. lou . the secret behind that surprising power is a little electric turbo assistance courtesy of formula one the all kinds of dots

you involve it, we wanted to make a highly efficient 4 cylinder engine with an output of, in this case, 300 kilowatts in. but with the agility of a larger units, i devoted kelley to hit on his course, will make more toast dos. we looked to our colleagues from formula one victim elements, and they'd faced the very same conflict at the start of the hybrid. aaron, a few were cylinders to lower displacements and, and extremely high output, exclaimed boy, last. the classic turbo charger needs exhaust energy that the turbine wheel transmits to the compressor and we were kept on us that gradually builds us was behind. but depending on the size can lead to a delay called turbo lag lauder. this is where the motor comes in, come to, instead of waiting for the exhaust gas energy, or you can use it for instantaneous boost pressure allotted will can, and you get feedback from the regular engine a lot sooner, which gives you a far more spontaneous and very linear response to the entire engine, which montana rosaline office under clickable hudden from him. because

any drawbacks fans of loud engines will find the sound experience a bit muted that might dampen their enthusiasm for the powerful performance of the high output. it's also a complaint often made about formula one cars of the hybrid era the c $43.00 fuel economy is also nothing to get excited about. although careful drivers could squeeze 9 leaders for 100 kilometers out of it, which looks good compared to other high powered cars. this 40 station wagon can accommodate between 460 and 1480 leaders of cargo. in line with a m g tradition, the black with hint of red interior is sporty looking. the seats have been reworked for better lateral support and stability,
