has to make that knocking sound and stink otherwise, it's not a tropi is medical for this, but of course this electric version as a couple of practical benefits to limit these an 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 our them are the go. what began as a hobby for mateus fair is now a site business. he actually runs a cleaning company, which is where he and his team developed a travel conversion kids. he personified vitamins as we never wanted to come up with some kind of make ship solution or what 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 bond style to talbot and but some things you just can't replicate driving an electric, travis is an entirely different experience for the east african. it's a 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 of them to model not started out as a prototype in 2012 is now a standard package, but dr. is, can either do the conversion themselves or 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 of my while, the engine and attachments on the exhaust of the original ignition they're all gone it and the fuel tank has actually fitted up front in

a turban to tongue. it's all gone down. awful. my anguish bump on to that. so now on this, we're ready to refitted as an electric car. i've to buy as an a car to appreciate what electric travis really means. it helps to look back at least germany's beloved and hated automobile. a bunch did feel the trouble came from a state car makers accelerating and fickle rec and was built there till the end. it's 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 tr band means companion or satellites. inspired by the soviet sputnik, the world's 1st artificial satellite launched into obit that same year,

shortened to trompe the car became the companion of east germans for generations as well. the alice 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 them before i was out style them on without a oh ah real hm. when people came back from a trip, the 1st question was not how was the vacation, but did the car hold all had sound you'd sometimes see alternators discarded on the side of the autobahn leash machine did a home logging the most savvy trap? drivers always carried extra spark plugs and nylons as a substitute fan belt. the car itself weighs in the just under $600.00 kilos. it's night weight makes it ideal for electric conversion as it needs less power to get it moving. for unclipped moodle, we fit a 12 kilowatt motors,

which means it has the same output as the gasoline powered trouble. and it's really important for the vehicle licensing that we don't change the performance issue of fungus fun drop off on didn't fall as comb with done to antipathy. these are electric batteries stowed. we put in 30 or 60, depending on the range is little search too strict. anger bardwell movie. i'm uses house chic here we see the heart of every e v. the battery pack on pipes, but he, 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 mysa up front visual angers of the ide. we wanted to retain the true bonds. simplicity and the whole in other words, no complicated controls and electronics and according on earth,

there are some different components in hub and as high. for example, here we have the main monitor classes. we've been in classic any car style. it has a battery display hagan, which currently shows 100 percent large bill. this particular d i y converted shavanne to is almost ready mathias bag gives the added parts and general set up a check before passing it on to the official testing center. we're done. good, 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 war. oh, of oliver kind to boy. they never really were

a symbol of freedom. i king louis no freedom came in 1989. when the wall came down, latravius drove across into the west and listen. all that was free to horace. hi, 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 and it's hard. irish. they did now got a passionate fan base. i got to jump them up and they're even considered a financial investment as we helped unlock the they've practically become vintage model is fine. lots of fans are fixing them up to look better than when 1st bill irish knows that that definitely gets the emotions going to affect shawn and return of hidden fog. there are still around 38000 tribe ease in we had and wonderful

varieties in germany today. with a growing share of electric editions. this close to misfortune as a people make the wrong equation that a simple car means low price shot is unfortunately, nato. a little 5. that is because of the high quality lithium batteries we installed that are now standard in modern cars, each room property and ion storm. and that's the cheaper price factor. of course, that is not a list from the hub price compound, enter. it costs 22000 euros for the d i. y kit, or $27000.00, plus to have a car converted by the city sex team. the exotic appeal of the causes even led to the gross of truby safaris in berlin, where tourists can cruise around the classic sites of the been jungle. and now of course, there are electric additions to it. it's

blah blah, blah, blah. no, no. do you boy things ah, this is am jeez new c 43, a 408 horsepower c class. mercedes is seeking to establish itself as a more exclusive luxury brand. and the entry level a and b class models are being discontinued from 2026. so from then on, the c class will revert to being the brands smallest model. but how does the souped up see class available as a sedan or wagon fit into then luxury car strategy is the c 43,

a certified sports garn, or more in up market cargo carrier. it's predecessor was the 190 sedan, launched in 1982 and dubbed the baby bens and the u. s. 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 a. m g base model at the time, the 190 e with a 2.5 liter cars worth engine was limited to just 500 units to day and original condition evolution or evo to sales 430-0000 euros. the one ninety's era as the smallest merc 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

segments is set to end after almost 3 decades from 2026. anyone looking for a low price, mercedes, we'll 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 a m g 's job to provide exclusive visuals in 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. told. with the cars, boost functions, drivers have 500 newton meters of torque available. that rockets the c 43 to 100 kilometers and now are in 4.6 seconds. not bad for a 4 cylinder unit. blue . the secret behind that surprising power is a little electric turbo assistance courtesy of formula one the i was consider

what's you involved? 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 devote mill, august 10th on his course, we'll make multiple stars. we looked to our colleagues from formula on victim humans, and they'd faced the very same conflict at the start of the hybrid. aaron movement start to have fewer cylinders, i lower displacement and, and extremely hot 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 do it, which gives you a far more spontaneous and very linear response to the entire engine which montano rosaline? i was under play for houghton for them, 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. the sporty station wagon can accommodate between 460 and 1480 leaders of cargo. in line with am g tradition. the black with hint of red interior is sporty looking . the seats have been reworked for better lateral support and stability, including on longer journeys. the steering wheel has an excessive array of controls . perhaps an g fans will like the high tech look, but it seems to be an acquired taste. to sum up, the new see class is

a comfortable mid size and a distinctly sporty one. thanks to am jeez 43 engine and both styling but prices for this new baby bens are steep starting at some 73000 euros in germany. we've reached the end of the road for now. see you next time on ref. ah ah. with
