now not many purely elect think luxurious activity. 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 to seek us as to be and the like? we will find out right now. welcome to read the entry level audi q 80 tron is powered by a $250.00 kilowatt mode. while the s q a sport that version we tested, gets plenty of grunge from it's 370 kilowatt motor. for general driving impression in the q i age on a is really smooth and i mean, audi 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 been driving the s version that also

features a lot of power. and you will want to feel that when you're driving in crew, if you wanted to accelerate really do, and you want to have a very nice handling and the call features all of this. the what i especially like is the fact that it is very silent on the interior. of course, i can only compare with what i remember, but the q s s u, v was not any more side and neither was land rover's range all the 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 the, this body aspect of the ask you 8 is on deniva, especially if you put the pedal to the metal. it will make the dash from 0 to a 100 kilometers and now info. busy going off seconds,

and that feels really good and it can go up to a top speed of 210 kilometers an hour, which is also quite good for a purely electric off the, the exterior design of the q 8. now blends much more harmoniously used to be ality 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 port is simply press the bottom at full stone electrically. and then you can plug it in foss, charging no problem whatsoever, but for luxurious cause, you need even more. and that's why on this side, there is another charging parts, again opened it electrically as well. but you have to say this one is not maple 5 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 maximum feeling of the luxury of these self leveling badges that will stop horizontal manner. no matter how you stop the car. the comparing the design of the cars, i have to say the round dish 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 with audis 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 forced to use, but at least this prevents accidental invoice. the car also has a range of off market features you'd expect, including leather upholstery and heated front and rear seats plus a decent amount of food space. sure 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 these be to, to mirror us 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 than what you are 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 a, you will always find 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 114 kilowatt hours. but all they did not simply put in bigger batteries. they also worked on cell chemistry and made the cell, it's 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 they put little plates along with all the

measures and that's help 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 bye 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 the q 8. each one is a very luxurious call in the interior. you can tell that everything is high quality when you drive it is fee is really smooth. it's a very nice ride. all in all the qx. 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 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, an array of forward thinking individuals are experimenting with sustainable energy generation. but the transition is not all smooth sailing. one to a matic visual change could be wind farms effecting the seascape made famous by impression is painful. cloud monee, in 1886 the needles of the or i conic. and imagine

having those turbines behind you in the sea awful. or we are sustainable and i don't cause accidents like internal drip i down or what does that have to do with quote warning to he's long gone and won't be painting those pictures again or just just products and their value won't go down just because of a few turbine center and they say the zip on 3 on is that when we have a magnet innocent, you keep the homepage. but our guess is wouldn't like it if there are a sudden the wind turbines in the way, what's 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 set up a pilot project via it's mobilized subsidiary. a smart energy cycle was installed in the vacation village, customize to the surroundings. let me quote with this is a micro credit based on 4 pillars a, i'm sorry,

as 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 needed to do homework in and no human. you all know the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally very same with this as a rental. zoe, with a modified charge or the suitcase they never seen. you don't have what you understand. it's enables stored electrical energy and it needs to be faded back into the grid on demand under him, don't the whole value of his though, of course, on the room 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 control school to something you can set up a micro grid 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 are right to city. if you see those, you know, doesn't get the micro grants are sound solution for an island covered in cultural heritage says there's up on yet. he probably points out some of the belly is best known landmarks. the subject of several books written by the local historian, music giving you the needle rocks of paul co stormed by the sea. in the 6 weeks floated money spent on bill you. he painted around 40 pictures and on the 39 to be precisely that by so you have the need

a new goal. so i'll say no to the big lighthouse is our mountain. a lot of it's 70 meters tall. so which is enough to see the turbines are 184200 meters tall. now we don't want that all sounds on of this, but most islanders do accept a micro period like my nose. local businessman gave them to me as among those impressed with the benefits ceiling. 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? she 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 mental fleet color of course electric. but he sees far more scope for change,

which usually we don't protect the planet by driving because we need to restrict our consumption. but there's nothing, especially our energy consumption to consumers from put in the 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 do the analysis. and when you say that doesn't work, have you ever audited c panel is through the now here do we need to increase the portion of renewables for one at the same time? cutting consumption doesn't one thing i found on the notes here when you run to whom do you have 2nd semester. it's an approach that the mayor of the islands biggest community lapel link agrees with thanks to him. the police are now awesome going electric. most of the vehicles used by the local authorities at the replaced with a varieties so correspond to it's

a better fit for our image and the best and it usually kind that doesn't have to be produced in for default, our efforts are focused on saving energy wherever we can't do anything else. the mayor previously had the island clinics lead to vehicles turn to electric to they insure at home care for the $5000.00 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 to the islands characteristics mean we have to be a step ahead most were already make a substantial use of drugs for transferring blood supplies. for example, i see we see i'm to perfect 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 guys, 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 is and we can do that simply by using sale power seat of own and see only what journalist. so then the note 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 as a way of life fit the keyboard is to give to the it's a cultural revolution, assuming 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. so do you mind useful sub there are also some highly imaginative ways of saving energy on barrels. 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 from. the law unfortunately not to imagine now going on here one more here like i do my be to the environment by recycling waste. normally it's like streamlined costly, on 1000000000 contained which will be the waste is put in containers. taken by boat to the mainland and disposed of milk and we create a different cycle in which the islands trash is recycled and we appreciate the opportunity to hold it. the way you can use us. you will 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 there was sold to me to having limited resources means we have to be particularly careful with tourism when it comes to lowering consumption. there's far too much energy being used during the summer to suppress from the canals. for me, i see only to continue to use what do i need to assess and it's a hell here in the summer, all the cars and all the people coming to the island and stuff at home, the cheaper where you have to be the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone is the economy. he pays only the official 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 look assume that

the mass as of tourist to arrive and the peak vacation period are huge strain and our resources on the 20. this is also we're thinking of extending the seasons so that the stream of tourist isn't concentrated on july and august. and this is where the final project could prove invaluable. the resulting dramatic drop in energy cost means that loss beans can now afford to feed her bungalows. after the summer porchie, this is on said we're going to extend our receives and when they say the washroom, but this year will be closing and september 18th, next year. we'll try to stay open a lot longer and the pre task that's good, so tiny, say to, you know, since you all set with the system now up and running. we've seen our energy bill cut in half of the year of last season on the in the 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 micro grid. here where history and old traditions meet

modern developments, there are creative ideas galore for ensuring a sustainable future the sound, but it is a legendary legacy of quoting on a and the needle rocks of pork aton assist you. and of course, that history is used for tourists. i see the main attraction of value as an island . you'd be coming and exciting pilot project link to we've got it all here. so when the sun, yvonne is sorta an employee, i went to the board about 12, it could become a lovely laboratory to ski a kind of experimental avant garde for energy generation on value. you've shown that analogy notes in our system has on their shoals. as it has 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 are just some of the exciting content waiting for subscribed to us at youtube. so flash dw risk, and you'll always be up to speed. the. you're right in a d i y, he'll claim racer from plus me. i hear it's a casino. well, young pin with veteran and his oh, to a customized vw jetta. it's like

a child to me. a family member veteran is in the identity. will racing driver with a preference 1st, hilly terrain. time to get an up close and personal lives. got his jetta. are you ready? the, the just think, lee, bump you right for our interested report. there is the result of some of meticulous work. we visit veteran that is workshop in twos let in northeastern falls. now the, the car mechanic spent 3 years tinkering away on his pride and joy was. 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 for into one. this is of this and these original camshaft legacy some the got you. okay, so the also on board as a fire extinguishing system safety 1st the specially and most export 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 fast cars began when he was just allowed. his father was a successful racing driver and what was then you could slobber. yeah. 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 gti d, w. so that's when the loved again, me. so i liked the design, which i decided that when i grew up, i buy myself a gulf 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 kind of plus it has the features that make it easy to turn into a race car veteran bought his prize jetta in sarajevo and haven't looked back since his only regret is this for lack of development in recent years. i mean, it's not that big of seen, but we do have the occasional meet right to you. and i talked to gina. so as you

know, the situation with sponsors isn't great. the problem is the problem is a decreasing interest in racing. its popularity is limited to be our people prefer watching soccer or basketball. we're not associated with the average foot lot of caution washed by the need 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 driving conditions as ever as the sun goes down the,

the most racist we do the start, isn't that important that you not as it's mostly appeal at 1st it's good. can i just have it, you know, and i to sort of start as really good, intense it'd be a bit, you know, a week or 2 to put on the straights you make up the time you lost at the start lobby. oh yeah. so it's not that crucial release is not to live in a village. this is will be asked for the jetta performance the the car is what it is. 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. i'll try to now it's a great car produced out of love and that's what matters. so you know,

these i chose the jet or the is we couldn't find a better basis than the gulf mark one. see? i won't be a jet 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 read the, [000:00:00;00]
