it is the virgin of the rocks. was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting that perhaps we just don't understand? the search for answers. i tell you. sometimes books are more exciting than real life. raring to read. oh. what if there's no escape? do w literature list laundry, german ma street from an o h a luxury s u v. in eco island with a micro grid to charge me as a crazy d i. y hill claim racer invoice me. hold on for a while right now on rad. they

are not many purely electric, luxurious su, ethan, they're on the market right now. and this is the newest one, the audi, q 8 e tron, but can it be the mercy this e q s s u, v, and alike? we will find out right now. welcome to read the entry level audi q e tron is powered by a $250.00 kilowatt motor. while the s q a sport back version we tested, gets plenty of grunt from it's 370 kilowatt motor. a general driving impression in the q 8 each one is really smooth than i mean, audi cannot afford to do mistakes in this car because this is the flagship model. so you have to be smooth, but it also asked to be quite sporty since they were driving the asp version. that

also features a lot of power. and you will want to feel that when you're driving and curves, you wanted to accelerate really do it. and you want to have a very nice handling and the car features all of this. what i especially like is the fact that it is very silent on the interior. of course, i can only compare it with what i remember, but the q s s u, v was not any more silent. neither was land rover's range rover. when i do have to admit though, is that the e q s s u v, and the landrover range rover felt a little more spacious right here. you feel comfortable that it's not like you would miss space, but it could be a little more spacious. the sporty aspect of the eighty's on denial,

especially if you put the pedal to the metal, it will make the dash from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in. busy 4 and off seconds, and that feels really good and he can go up to a top speed of 210 kilometers an hour, which is also quite good for a purely electric car. in the exterior design of the q 8, now blends much more harmoniously into the our model family with a new honeycomb grill. and when it comes to charging for convenience is king right here. this side, you will find the charging port. he simply press the button, the full stone electrically, and then you can plug it in fast charging, no problem whatsoever, but for luxurious cause, you need even more. and that's why on this side, there is another charging port. you can open it electrically as well, but you have to say this on is not made for foss charging,

so it's mainly for your wall books at home. but you can choose the side, and that is a luxurious feature, i think is pretty nice. i of course, what you also need for the maximum feeling of luxury on the self leveling badges that will stop in horizontal manner. no matter how you stop the car, the carrying the design of the cars. i have to say the roundish falls of the q. s s t v were not exactly appealing to me and the land rover with its flat surfaces. not exactly either, but this car is very nice. i like it. the only thing i would wish for is the black package, because that one is available for all versions and that would mean that what is silver right here and also the grill will be in a black finish, which would look way more aggressive way sporty. the quality inside the s q

h cabin remains unchanged with audis characteristic use of high quality material. of course, a lot of controls do work mainly via the touch screen. and the touch pad requires a bit more forced to use, but at least this prevents accidental inputs. the car also has a range of up market features you'd expect, including leather upholstery and heated front and rear seat. was a decent amount of boot space should you want to do a road trip in audi has also adjusted the version line up if so, the q at each one is only available in 3 different versions. the advanced line, which unlike the name suggest, is the entry level version, the s line and the one we're driving here. the ask you 8, so the sporty version ah,

a thing i don't like at all the digital mirror because you will look outside and you will find that small thing. you will look down. you will find the picture. and the picture also looks different than what you are used to in the regular mirror. but don't worry, the digital side view mirrors always optional. so even if you get the ask you a, you will always find regular mirror. now let's take a look at what drives the motor of the queueing. let's talk about the battery for a 2nd. there are 2 different versions. 95 kilowatt hour, and that is the small one. and 100. 14 kilowatt hours, but only did not simply put in bigger batteries. they also worked on cell chemistry and made to the cell. it's 20 percent more dense, so they take less space for the same amount of energy. those aren't the only changes, though. already also work on the aerodynamics and what's especially interesting is

the under buddy because they are, they put little plate along with other measures and that help direct the flow of air that way. they reduce the direct coefficient and that help driving longer distances. the with all the aspects of that and all the tweaked with the new q a eat drawn coming from its predecessor. they increase the range of the car by between 32 and 44 percent, which is huge amount. in addition to the sport back version, we tested the q 80 tron is also available. as a classic su v with a steeper sloping rear the q 8 e tron is a very luxurious car in the interior. you can tell it everything is high quality.

when you drive it is free, it's really smooth. it's a very nice ride. all and all the s q 80 tron looks better as in some ways more capable than the mercedes and q s s u v, or land rover range rover. although it loses out to them in terms of range in space . but when it comes to pricing, it's likely to leave the competition far behind. even by french standards, belittle is a special vacation destination. and now a laboratory of innovation for going carbon neutral, incorporating the wind sun and the car industry, tourism and individual mobility. here off the coast to brittany, an array of forward thinking individuals are experimenting with sustainable energy generation. but the transition is not all smooth sailing. one to matic visual change could be wind farms affecting the seascape, made famous by impressionist painter clothes,

monet in 1886 through the vocal, the needles of local to our iconic. and imagine having those turbines behind you in the sea. awful, re did your arm are sustainable and don't cause accidents like intern noble down or what does that have to do with hold monet? he's long gone and won't be painting those pictures again. it was corrected on personal and their value won't go down just because of a few terabytes. i don't think it's over the filler levitt elders, hipaa. john, who's ever we have a magnificent, you have cable from bay, but our guests won't like it if there is suddenly wind turbines in the way, we're sure. the islands 1st sustainable ventures into electron mobility actually began 20 years ago. little wonder that french car make out i know, picked the spot to set up a pilot project via it's mobilized subsidiary. a smart energy cycle was installed in the vacation village, customized to the surroundings, unequal green. this is

a micro grid based on 4 pillars. first, these solar panels convert the sunlight into electricity. yeah. the solar energy is conserved by 2nd life batteries. discarded units taken from e cars that still have sufficient capacity for stationary storage. off edwina, he solaire solar energy is lost if it's not used in real time. these batteries make it possible to store solar power to be fed into the grad for when it's actually needed to eat meadow, home or yearly. now, human yama mo, the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally doing pay them with this is a renew zoe with a modified charger. i do so ok, he don't have what you under fitz enables his door, electrical energy needs to be faded back into the granular on demand,

not under him don't. there her value, his or operational neighbor, unfortunately was one. there is also a sophisticated computer program involved. it controls the facilities various components in a way that ensures maximum efficiency when it comes to the solar energy available for the requirements of the picturesque vacation village sake and griffith called purple for from you can set up a micro grid like this anywhere on even with major industrial complexes, there are no limits. what we're doing here melisha can be replicated at various places around a city. i don't think he knows you know nothing. the. the microgrids are a sound solution for an island covered, and cultural heritage says set up on the arc. he proudly points out some of belial, best known landmarks. the subject of several books written by the local historian music grew you that the needle rocks of pork torn formed by the sea. in the 6 weeks clergyman

a spent on bill you. he painted around 40 pictures and all $39.00 to be precisely the possibility. ah no golf off in oclock, the big light house is our mountain volume. it's 70 meters tall. so which is enough to cbs turbines are $180.00 or 200 meters tall. now we don't want that long. all all saw is on of the book. but most islanders do accept a micro grid like ran our local businessman, chioma to me is among those impressed with the benefits i found there. i think it's an interesting project also because it raises awareness of a question. we should all be asking ourselves or where does my energy come from? now, to give me as the spokesman of a movement, whose adherents are convinced that reducing energy consumption is the most sustainable option out there. most of the cars in his rental

fleet or of course electric, but he sees far more scope for change to all, all we're doing, we don't protect the planet by driving e cause we need to restrict our consumption. what those numbers, especially our energy consumption, is that consumers from put in if we can't say in the future, i'll replace the fossil or nuclear energy. i've used my by consuming the equivalent in sustainable energy is sure the dinners at receiver, when that doesn't work for our lunch event, all is through the nausea just we need to increase the proportion of renewables for while at the same time. cutting consumption. look, montela brown is to de niro show and rammed ok 3 of 2nd semester. it's an approach that the mayor of the islands biggest community, la, paling agrees with thanks to him. the police are now also going electric. most of the vehicles used by the local authorities had been replaced with

e varieties. psychos boy, it's a better fit for our imaging. the best energies, the kind that doesn't have to be produced and could you fall. our efforts are focused on saving energy wherever we can. it is equal the need to know that the mayor previously had the island clinics fleet of vehicles turned electric to they insure at home care for the $5000.00 residents across an 87 square kilometer area. but that's all old news for the director of the hospital. it almost that really has always been a laboratory for all kinds of innovations in the islands characteristics mean we have to be a step ahead on levels. we're already making substantial use of drones for transfer and blood supplies. for example, i see with c, m to perfect it and we don't use environmentally harmful ship transportation. costello, the person some ah, the tourist sector now also feature sustainable options. instead of taking the big

energy guzzling diesel, ferries, visitors have the alternative of soft transportation on sale boats with a lot of unfairly blue. before we talk about bio gases, we're focusing on an energy that's free and is available 70 or 80 percent of the time it is when we have to reduce our consumption, especially in transportation, was only now this year. and we can do that simply by using sale power office in warner to only one journalist still then the nerve is also committed to the fight to lower energy consumption. she only drives an e car when she has heavy cargo to get from a to b. for her saving energy is a way of life fit her revenues, she could to, lola, it's a cultural revolution also me more learning to consume less without having

a poor quality of life. vain warm young. so a concept that will be indispensable in the future. absolutely. modern disposable thorough also some highly imaginative ways of saving energy on bell. little the artists at this workshop create, meet looking sculptors, all fashioned from raw materials that their owners no longer wanted for like your bill. i collect all kinds of scrap and trash and use my imagination, return what i find into something new form, upper all fortunate her not imaginary, poor on the own, missouri. i do my bid for the environment by recycling waste, that normally it's extremely costly. on 1000000000, clinton was short, been the waste is put in containers. taken by boat to the mainland and disposed of miracles, we create a different cycle by which the island trash is recycled. and re appreciated is also true to halt into a jesus realty, the island has

a range of different initiatives, fighting for sustainability in their own way. what they all agree on is the most harmful factor for the island with all their wilson, they're having limited resources means we have to be particularly careful with tourism when it comes to lowering consumption to we there's far too much energy being used during the summer to suppose from brooklyn to dinner canal lucas ramirez, see on the take on said you to his me or to a letter says hello to hell here in the summer, all the cars and all the people coming to the island. so if it's home shipper, i'm worried to believe the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone. if the economy had presided, be surely plan. everything was turned on its head to la budgeted it. and now tourism is dictating things to say, toby, but that's wrong. and also to everything's gotten too expensive, but scope to,

to pressure. ah, we like to assume that the masses of tourists to arrive in the peak vacation period are huge, strain in our resources. why don't fully visible. so we're thinking of extending the season so that the stream of tourists isn't concentrated on july and august, the temperature. and this is where that i know project could prove invaluable. the resulting dramatic drop in energy costs means that loss viens can now afford to heat her bungalows. after the summer. port angeles is on said we're going to extend our season when they say to wash you. but this year will be closing on september 18th, and next year we'll try to stay open a lot longer. need to talk, oscar, set any say, dear me own, from soon fact, with the system now up and running though, we've seen our energy bill cut in half, lydia less ism on it in another sign of progress. you can already tour the islands many sites of cultural interest with the help of the solar power sources

from the micro grid. here where history and old traditions meet modern developments, there are creative ideas galore for ensuring a sustainable future. the sample is a legendary legacy of cloud monee and the needle rocks of pork, a toss issue. and of course that history is used for tourists contributing. but the main attraction of value is an island becoming an exciting pilot project. talk. we've got it all here. the wind up the sun bonnasoli employer. well attributable at 12 could become a lovely laboratory to skew a kind of experimental avant garde for energy generation on belly, apple. you shonda anal gino's. nauseous on the shoulder as it hands towards a new age of energy. use the aptly named belial or beautiful island boasts a remarkably diverse approach,

which with visionary ideas and not short on controversy. but where would we be energy wise if we didn't have the occasional bit of friction, of the sustainable variety? of course. i mean, if you want more red, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world. read can make you very happy, ha vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us at youtube slash d w. read. and you'll always be up to speed. ah, ah fancy. you're right in a d i y hill claim racer from bosnia herzegovina. well young pit with veteran and

his ultra customized v. w. jetta looks like a child to me with a family member who is better and is a died in the will. racing driver with a preference for haley to rate time to get an up close and personal look at his jetta. are you ready? mm hm. the distinctly bumpy right for our infected reporter is the result of some meticulous work. we visit bedroom at his workshop in to live in north eastern bosnia. the car mechanic spent 3 years tinkering away on his pride and joy.

wasn't really, it's like a child to me that a family member. drunk with veteran has plenty of other cars to work on. but his true passion and calling it's for b w based to race and cars. his jetta is a bosnian pocket rocket with all manner of extra features. well, it comes with 4 injectors for the exhaust is foreign to one deals of the chinese arisen camp shafts legacy. so the cartoon, okay, so also on board is a fire extinguishing system safety 1st, especially in motor sports drugs. this is going to, if there is a fire, it activates and puts out the flames it. well, there are also 4 more nozzles inside the car, alongside the electrical system, it pulls the electric and that's the safety system. first question veterans love of fast cars began when he was just a lad and his father was

a successful racing driver in what was then yugoslavia, but his undying love for v w came a bite to because of a different model because when you, when i've love the gulf mark once i was a kid to friend of mine had one. but gigi i had done it. that's when the love began . noodle, i me so i like to design it doesn't with which i decided that when i grew up, i buy myself a gulf mark one and make my own racing car. gotcha. and to this day it's remains the same stuff back were rushed roof. rochester and this jetta has great visibility . b. w. my connect plus it has the features that make it easy to turn into a race car. like a veteran bought his prize jetta in sarajevo and haven't looked back that his only regret is the lack of development in recent years for i need a rough, it's not that big a seen,

but we do have the occasional meet. oh, pretty much right you and i talked to gina. so you don't, the situation with sponsors isn't great. petroleum is the problem, is a decreasing interest in racing sub g. it's popularity is limited to be either called our people prefer watching soccer or basketball or not sushi lunch would mild caution. but it was about the need for speed. oh test drive time, which means taking veterans jetta back out on to the track on an old air field. mm. smooth me though with the official moral front tongue driving conditions as ever as the sun goes dive ah,

the most racist we do the start isn't that important that you know, as it's mostly uphill at 1st at scale, kenichi. so it, you know, that she sort of start is rarely good and tends to be a bit, you know, weaker to go, but on the straights you make up the time you lost at the start lobby. oh, so it's not that crucial really was actually in a village. this is when i stopped. oh, as for the jettas performance. ah yeah. so the car is what it is. the track is terrible. the surface is no good on the moment, but we've been able to do a few laps to show you the car and that magic feeling. ultimately, the jetta defies the terrain to deliver. the magic and veteran is proud of his

sipped up little razor out. i told it's a great car produced out of love and that's what matters cg, that is i chose the jetta because we couldn't find a better basis than the gulf mark wine. i'll be a jet that we're glad to have our super jetta, which we've really grown to love just to out. which one of you stay cheered for automotive love stories and more on the next episode of rabbin, with ah, with
