the, the at these committed coin is great for investing the invest these little everyone here just wants to get into big old, quite a bit, coins, digital gold and we wanted to stay here in central and south america. they're known as big green arrows, digital gold, diggers, investors from all over on moving to latin america in search of bitcoin treasure. nowhere is the crypto currency value is more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in ruin. we were promised high speed rail, but so far there is no sign of the coin in latin america starts august 18th on d. w from an all electric luxury s u z to an eco island with a micro grid to charge d as

a crazy d. o y hill, claim racer in voice mail. hold on for a while right now on read the now not many purely electric, luxurious se, so they're on the market right now. and this is the newest one, the audi q a eat drawn. but can it be the mercy this inc us s u v and the like, we will find out right now. welcome to read the entry level audi q a neutron is powered by a 250 kilowatt moto, while the s q a sport fact version we tested, gets plenty of grunge from its 370 kilowatt mode. the general driving impression in the q a age on a is really smooth then i mean audio cannot afford to do mistakes in this car

because they say is the flagship model. so you have to be smooth, but it also asked to be quite sporty since that we're driving the s version that also features a lot of power. and you will want to feel that when you're driving and. busy if you wanted to accelerate really do, and you want to have a very nice handling and the call features all of this the way 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 the land rover's range rover. while i do have to admit though, is that the 2 s s u, v and the land rover range rover felt a little more spacious right here and you feel comfortable that it's not like you would myspace. but it could be

a little more spacious. the, the sporty aspect of the s q 80, the undeniable, especially if you put the pedal to the metal, it will make the dash from 0 to a 100 kilometers an hour in. busy busy an off seconds, and that feels really good. it can go up to a top speed of 210 kilometers an hour, which is also quite good for purely electric off the, the exterior design of the q 8. now blends much more harmoniously into the audi model. family with a new honeycomb grill. and when it comes to charging ports, convenience is king. right here, the side, you will find the charging part. he's simply press the button, it full selling electrically, and then you can plug it in foss charging no problem whatsoever. bucks for luxurious cause, you need even more, and that's why, on this side,

there is another charging parts again opened it to electrically as well. but you have to say this one is not maple 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. of course what you also need for the maximal feeling of the luxury of these self leveling badges that will stop and horizontal manner no matter how you stop the car. the comparing the design of the cars, i have to say the roundish falls of the e q. s s u 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 waste body of the quality inside the s q h cabin remains unchanged without ease, characteristic use of high quality materials. of course, a lot of controls do work mainly via the touch screen. and the touch pad requires a bit more force to use, but at least this prevents accidental invoice. the car also has a range of up market features you'd expect, including leather upholstery and heated front and rear seats. was a decent amount of food space to do. you want to do a road trip in the audience also adjusted the version line up. so the q at each one is only available in 3 different versions. the advanced line, which i like the name suggest is the entry level version,

the s line and the one we're driving here. the ask you a to so the sporty version. the thing i don't like at all of these digit through a mirror because you will look outside, then you will find that small things. you will look down, you will find the picture. and the picture also looks different. they want you a used to in the regular mirror, but don't worry these digital side. numerous, i always optional. so even if you get to ask you. busy you will always find the regular mirrors. now let's take a look at what drives the motor of the queue, and let's talk about the battery for a 2nd. there are 2 different versions, 95 kilowatt hours, and that is the small one. and 100. 14 kilowatt hours, but all they did not simply put in big batteries. they also worked on cell chemistry and made the cell is 20 percent more dense, so they take less space for the same amount of energy the. those aren't the only

changes though. audi also worked on the aerodynamics and what's especially interesting is the on the body because now they put little plates along with all the measures. and that helps direct the flow of air. that way they reduce the drag coefficient and that helps driving longer distances. the, with all the aspects of that and all the tweak with the new q a. each on coming from its predecessor, they increase the range of the call by between 32 and 44 percent, which is a huge amount of the in addition to the sport back version, we tested the q 80 tron is also available as a classic s u v with a steeper sloping. we're to make

you a drawing is a very luxurious call in the interior or you can tell that everything is high quality when you drive it is fee. it's really smooth. it's a very nice ride all in all the s q 80 try and looks better as in some ways more capable than the mercedes e q s s, u, v, or land rover range. 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 the even by french standards. belyeu is a special vacation destination. and now and laboratory of innovation for going carbon neutral. incorporating the wind sun and the car industry, tourism and individual mobility. here off the coast of brittany and array of forward thinking individuals are experimenting with sustainable energy generation.

but the transition is not all smooth sailing. a one to a matic visual change could be wind farms effecting the seascape made famous by impression is painter. cloud monee, in 1886 the needles to or i conic. and imagine having those turbines behind you in the sea level, we are sustainable and don't cause accidents like internal down or what does that have to do with quote, who need to go? he's long gone. and won't be painting those pictures again or just search products . and their value won't go down just because of a few turbine. so i don't think of 70 say the zip on 3 on the is that when we have a magnet in this and you keep the homepage, but our guess is what like it. if there is suddenly wind turbines in the way, once you put the islands for sustainable, the entries into electron mobility actually began 20 years ago. little wonder that

french car makers i know pick the spot to setup a pilot project via it's mobilized subsidiary. a smart energy cycle was installed in the vacation village, customized to the surroundings. let me quote with this is a micro grids based on 4 pillars and for the solar panels, convert the sunlight into electricity. yeah. the solar energy is conserved by 2nd life batteries. discarded units taken from the cars, but still have sufficient capacity for stationary storage. often they know who sorta solar energy is most if it's not used in real time, these batteries make it possible to store solar power to be fed into the grid for when it's actually need it to eat mid do home where you in the know human, you all know the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally zullie say same with this as a rental. zoe with

a modified charge or the suitcase. then it, if you don't have what you understood to naples store to electrical energy and, and it would be faded back into the grid on demand. and also under them don't the whole value of his o offers on the move on from somebody, but as well. there's 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 picture, risk vacation village. so you can go to school to something you can set up and make progress like this anywhere, even with major industrial complexes, there are no limits. what we're doing here on value can be replicated at various places around the city. if you see those, you know, don't get the micro grants, are sound solution for an island covered. and cultural heritage says there's up on the he probably points out some of bells, best known landmarks. the subject of several books written by the local historian

is it gives you the needle rocks of paul control formed by the sea. in the 6 weeks claude of money spent on bill you, he painted around $40.00 pictures and all $39.00 to be precise. just get up. i see, i mean, you know, golf, i'll say no to the big lighthouse is our mountain evolve. it's 70 meters tall. so which is enough to see the turbines are 180 or 200 meters tall? no, we don't want that. all sounds on those as well. but most islanders do accept a micro created like my nose, local business man, deal me as among those impressed with the benefits sound. so it sounds like it's an interesting project also because it raises awareness of a question. we should all be asking ourselves uh, where does my energy come from? now it does me is 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 and of course electric. but he sees far more scope for change. which of a we don't protect the planet by driving e, cause we need to restrict our consumption. but there's nothing to especially our energy consumption to consumers from put in. and if we can say in the future, i'll replace the fossil or nuclear energy. i've used by consuming the equivalent in sustainable energy to the dentist. when you say that doesn't work, validate c panel is through the now here we need to increase the portion of renewables for why at the same time cutting consumption, the amount that i found on the no show and what i'm doing great, you have 2nd semester. so it's an approach that the mayor of the islands biggest

community, little paling agrees with thanks to him. the police are now also going electric. most of the vehicles used by the local authorities at the replaced with a varieties to correspond to it's a better fit for our image and the best and that usually kind that doesn't have to be produced in for default, our efforts are focused on saving energy wherever we can't if they couldn't anything else that the mayor previously had the islands clinics, key to vehicles turn to electric to they insure at home care for the 5000 residents across and 87 square kilometer area. but that's all old news for the director of the hospital. they don't mass, that video has always been a laboratory for all kinds of innovations. the islands characteristics mean we have to be a step ahead on that. also, we're already making substantial use of drones for transferring blood supplies. for example, i see we see on to prove that that. and we don't use environmentally harmful ship

transportation on scale to, to purchase on 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 the level. and finally the before we talk about bio gas, as we're focusing on an energy that's free and is available 70 or 80 percent of the time we finish putting you, we have to reduce our consumption, especially in transportation, was wondering this issue. and we can do that simply by using sale power seat of own and see only what journalist still then villeneuve is also committed to the site to lower energy consumption. she only drives an e car when she has heavy cargo to get from a to be for her saving. energy is

a way of life fit. the table is shown to the it's a cultural revolution. consuming more learning to consume less without having a poor quality of life. very warm. yeah. so the concept that will be indispensable in the future. i'm so do you mind disposable? there are also some highly imaginative ways of saving energy on belyeu. the artist that this workshop create and listening skills to is all fastened from raw materials that their owners no longer want it to like i collect all kinds of scrap and trash and use my imagination to turn what i find to do something new. come up at all unfortunately not uh, not too much in now going on here. one more here like i do might be to the environment by recycling waste. normally it's extremely costly on w, contain, which will be the waste is put in containers taken by both of the mainland and

disposed of milk. and we create a different cycle by which the islands trash is recycled. and we appreciate the opportunity to hold into a way you can use us. and we'll see 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 best. and that it was sold to me to having limited resources means we have to be particularly careful with tourism when it comes to lowering consumption. and so is there's far too much energy being used during the summer to suppress. i'm moving to the next connected me to send me. i see on the take on send me twist. what do i need to assess? and it's a hill here in the summer, all the cars and all the people coming to the island and stuff it hold the ship where you have to be the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone of the economy. he pays only the picture of the plan. everything was turned on its head to

the bottom of the vehicle and now tourism is dictating things. you see fit all the pieces, but that's wrong. and then also the to everything's gotten too expensive. let's go to the appreciate the we like assume that the masses of tours to arrive and the peak vacation period are huge strain and our resources points on the 20 the single. so we're thinking of extending the seasons so that the stream of tourist isn't concentrated on july and august. and this is where this i know project could prove invaluable. the resulting dramatic drop in energy costs means that loss beans can now afford to feed her bungalows after the summer. poor. don't see that. susan said we're going to extend our receives and when they say to walk through this year will be closing on september 18th. next year we'll try to stay open a lot longer and the pre tax desk who sits any say to, you know, since you're all set with the system now up and running,

we've seen our energy bill cut in half the year of last season. all just in another sign of progress, you can already tour the islands many sites of cultural interest with the help of the solar power sourced from the microgrids. here where history and old traditions meet modern developments, there are creative ideas galore for ensuring a sustainable future. the a sound, but it is a legendary legacy of clothing on a and the needle rocks of pork atone system. and of course that history is used for tourist anything. but the main attraction of value is an island you'd be coming and exciting pilot projects. going to, we've got it all here. so when the sun sorta employer, well i bought, i bought 12, it could become a lovely laboratory to ski a kind of experimental avant garde for energy generation on 1000000000 pull. you've

shown danielle jane austin or who's on the shoals as it hands towards a new age of energy use. the aptly named belly, little, or beautiful island. both to 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 the, 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, rest can make you very happy. vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us at youtube slash dw risk, and you'll always be up to speed.

you're right in a d i. y, he'll claim racer from bosnia herzegovina. well young pig with veteran and his out to a customized vw jetta. it's like a child to me. a family member veteran isn't the identity. will racing driver with a preference 1st, hilly terrain, time to get an up close and personal lives got his yes. are you ready? the, the just think, lee, bump you right for our interested report sir, is the result of some of meticulous work. we visit veteran at his workshop in twos, left in northeastern for us now. the,

the car mechanic spent 3 years tinkering away on his pride and joy. it's like a child to make a family member drop. the veteran has plenty of other cars to work on, but his true passion on calling is for dw based racing cars. his jetta is above me and talking about kids with all manner of extra features it comes with 4 injectors for the exhaust is 4 into one and these are racing camshaft the car. okay, so the also on board is a fire extinguishing system safety 1st, the specially and motor sports drivers. if there's a fire, it activates and puts out the flames. well, there are also 4 more nozzles inside the car,

alongside the electrical system. and that's the safety system. veterans love of best cars began when he was just allowed. his father was a successful racing driver. and what was then? you just love you, but his undying love for vw came a bite because of a different model. so when he, when i've loved the gulf, mark one since i was a kid, friend of mine had one a gti, a done the. so that's one of the loved again, let me. so i like to design you and us, and we lose you. i decided that when i grew up, i buy myself a golf mark one and make my own racing car and they come in to this day. it's remains the same as rush through raptor style and this jetta has great visibility. the building, my kind of 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 hasn't looked back since his only regret is for lack of development in recent years for i mean it's not that big of seen, but we do have the occasional meet right to you and i talk to junior. so, you know, the situation with sponsors isn't great for probably a minute. the problem is a decreasing interest in racing. g, it's popularity is limited to be our people prefer watching soccer or basketball. we're not associated with that. we might of course watch it by the age for a speed test drive time, which means taking veterans jetta back out onto the track on an old air field. the more upfront the tough driving conditions as ever

as the sun goes down the, the, the most racist we do the start isn't that important that you not, as it's mostly appeal at 1st it's key. comanche said that you know, that you sort of start as really good and tends to be a bit weaker to, to put on the straights. so you make up the time you lost at the start. so that'd be, oh yeah. so it's not that crucial release is going to live in a very specific as for the jetta performance, the the car is what it needs. the track is terrible. the surfaces no good. but we've been able to do

a few labs to show you the car and that magic feeling ultimately the jack defies the terrain to deliver the magic and veteran is proud of his sip top little racer. oh good. oh no, it's a great car produced out of love and that's what matters. so you do that is that i chose the get it because we couldn't find a better basis than the gulf mark one. see? i looked at just that we're glad to have our super jetta, which we've really grown to love just to stay tuned for automotive love stories and more on the next episode of the the
