crises was, every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things to the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the, the holy grail of electron mobility, solar powered cars for you fuel from the sky gigabytes, worries about range and charging time, the simple, but really of the idea that led to companies who proceeded into bankruptcy. so no

moses in germany and like, yeah, and the never meant to be seen as a better way to ruin the concept. they put everything into building their own sort of costs and say, what's the big deal right? how about like, how fast we need to understand how they work. that's why we hit an awesome germany with a solar ice team with its own garden. so this is one of the most interesting electric, the tools in the world. yes. or you can look at it, right. it looks like i think probably the table basically. so it doesn't have too much in common with a normal car. this is i know, do back back in 2017. he was one of the founding members of teams on barton in awesome, and then a team to participate in solar racing competitions across the world. for example, in australia, i mean that it looks a bit like fox. yeah. like a desktop you can say, and it's, and a little bit writes like that too. so how many kilometers do you care of the same?

depends right? depends totally on the sun. if you're driving without the sun, it could be around 600 kilometers. that's a rather small 6 kilowatt hour battery. but if you have a good sun direct sun like then you can drop and definitely fix it. you can just keep going. of course is depending on the speed then, right? if you don't have too much sun, you have to go slower. unfortunately, this solar rates can needs to remain stationary today. it has the top speed of 120 kilometers per hour and is covered in full square meters of solar cells. and it has only 3 wheels with the engine sitting directly in the wheel in the back for the cost to be as efficient as possible. aerodynamics key. just to give you an idea of how light this is when i to this like the whole cars taking. yeah, how much does it weigh? it? it depends little bit on the battery chemistry, but somewhere around

a 160 kilograms. okay, yeah, it's just fuel be made of the carbon fiber. everything is, is mills out of pertaining more allow me minium car fiber. so light weight is, is definitely the way to go, because everything else is more rolling resistance, holding resistance needs more energy. the real crux of commercial solar cost is that they are much heavier than this raise costs. and so i can only produce so much power. that's why making them run only on so the poa is really, really hot. like every other electric vehicles. they also have batteries that can be recharged on the grits. i bought the solar cells, i actually went bankruptcy started for solar cost off flagstone emotes has from germany and light year from the netherlands because manufacturing the south is quite complex. usually panels are straight part in solar costs. they need to be carved to the electronics become more of

a challenge when the surface is quite curved. it gives them one sort of cell, is it looking at this on, in a different way than the other side of the cell? and then you need complex side products to to still get most of the you add something, but that's not the only challenge the cells should be robust and shouldn't spence out if the car crashes and integrating them into a copout isn't easy either the buying the machines buying the materials, developing manufacturing processes. and after you did all that, you need to get your newly developed. so the car pops certified for every day street. all of those costs a lot of money sign motorsports if needed to, to 300000000 years. just to go into mass production, know, pocket money for stopped up toilet sales, only one part of the problem, the other one being how many kilometers you actually get out of it. and that's why it's a lot of things to consider. the size of the solar rate, big a means more generated energy location on the globe. some countries get most on

them. others time of the year, of course shading dust on panel of solar panels, aging which makes them less efficient and more productive range. it's west $34.00 or 700 kilometers per day. both promises that couldn't be kept. so now it couldn't raise enough cash. the company is restructuring and selling off that common you factoring capacities like your underestimates of manufacturing costs. they plan to sell that like a 0 full 120000 years, but increased it to 250000 years. do too expensive compounds. they follicle bankruptcy in 2023. but what happens if the press one for i missed that completely out of proportion? something that is being tested right now by the truck manufacturer, us scan yet in sweden, in collaboration with folks that universities are you? what's file that has been going on since september, but that's when to expect the street instead of to square me it's, it's like most cost. the hybrid truck has 113 square meters of solar cells that

charge a battery in the trailer for an estimated 5000 kilometers of edit range per year. we expect maybe somewhere around 5 to 10 percent of the energy that that can come from so not in the gym. and that's why i should say that that is also is we've done it, which is um, maybe not the best place to test this. they even random numbers for southern europe, and that could turn out twice as much energy. so there are some great use cases for solar when vehicles are very light and they are deployed in sunny regions. in 2 units with these delivery tries the codes. all these small boxes for public transport and nigeria that mainly run and so to power the,

this is the new audi, s 3 s you can tell it's still on the cover as it's not completely ready, but the technical parts already and we'll get to the test page right now, welcome to the new generation of the audi as 3 bows. so a lot of innovations, the engine transmission front and rear axles, brakes and steering are just some of the features they've improved as it's usually when a new car comes out. you, of course, gotta be better than the previous version and that's what all the did with the s 3 . we have 333 horsepower. that's 23 more than the predecessor 4.7 seconds from 0 to a 100 kilometers an hour and 420. you would meet as of torque, which is 20. you would meet us more than the predecessor that the 2 point. oh liter t. f. s. i engine can take the car up to 250 kilometers an hour at

a steady speed and the park load range. a free loaded turbo charger ensures a more spontaneous power delivery. these are all nice numbers, but you don't have to read them. you have to experience them and that is stepping on the gas. let's do it. the fees are really good and it also sounds really good. the, the throttle valve, which is open during over run phases, also improves performance thing that is also quite important within us 3 introduction of the talk splitter. the thing as it is already known from the previous version of our s 3, but now it also comes in the es 3. and let's take a look at how this works. all the time is

positive towards splitter is basically a differential where a rear axle with 2 clutches. it's basically a new rear axle that was developed because we worked with the how dex and the previous model for the normal day. that means we had a clutch right here on the card and shaft comes from here. it was installed here and now we've split it into 2 collections, so to speak. so that we can apply from 0 to 100 percent of the power to each. we'll independently and if they come in the new dynamic plus driving mode, the torque splitter sends as much drive to work as possible to the rear act. so what i always like about all these cars and inspect say, now of the es 3 is the fact that they are so very different. depending on the drives mold, you use malware and comfort mode and the car does what you would expect from it. it's comfortable, it's relaxed, you can use it to go into words every day. you can take your children on the ride and everything is smooth and comfortable. but if you need it,

you can just switch to the dynamic or dynamic plus mode. and then you have a completely different call that will be so much audio than what you experienced in come for me. it's similar to its predecessor or some of the es. 3 is options such as driver assistance systems and infotainment functions can be conveniently added via the how do yeah. for a period ranging between one month and a lifetime, activation is automatic and doesn't require a visit to a mechanic dining. the audio 3 was such a blast, the car is powerful with the talk split or you can also just it a little bit. it's really fun. i like the design, at least what i can see. and i also like the idea of only paying 4 functions. if you really need them so on and off, a very solid call. viodias 3 and presses with its powered sound and flexibility. he

hasn't yet announced the cars price. it's predecessor started at $47.00 and a half 1000 euro stuck with all its new features. the new s 3 is down to cost more really now it's really fast. really expensive. simon kingston deals in the world's most expensive call and the kids didn't cases to fantasies in

a world where money is no object. the older you get, the more privileges that you don't need money for me. doesn't mean any it's the wells of functions of people always want to come see the garage and i've been inspired by cars in many different ways. the wells of legendary rook stuffs, send the guitar, australia various you know, it's a tool in the hub. pacific classic costing good. would that come close to that again? so on lake coma and pebble beach. simon kingston plays the master of ceremonies. juggling the vanities and passions, if he's clear on how in a marketplace west 1000000000 kitchen also has one of the largest stands that ret

treadaway bill in paris. the world's most important classic call shows my personal intention is to select car last time. yeah, that would make me very happy in my spare as i'm a, i'm a market used car dealer and you'd be amazed the sacrifices that people make myself included way beyond what rationally you should to own the things that you love. and the reason is that you are a number one them can be so many might, might be nostalgic, it might be, as you say, status, maybe it's investments. maybe it's a sense of community or just driving the the, the c is not easy. but it's fun. american pizza, hasan likes to turn up to caustic car events in his dues and back one of the most

exciting vehicles of the 1920s it's under stated. but do you look at it? the more the richer it becomes because it is a very rich man scar. of the 19 young syriac, the richest man in romania doesn't show off his machines only at plastic competitions. he's rac collector who makes the gems in his private museum based in bucharest, accessible to the general public, the, the full, the, you get to have more privileges that you don't need. but us as a show, as a person, i believe i am with such as this, with the 400 calls from fully or is a wide variety of countries. the syriac collection is one of the largest private ones in the world. i'm also an officer who's connection is your favorite, and i think the collection itself, but my favorite collection of any one person is probably around florence because

it's very diverse, but it's very well put together american fashion designer, ralph lauren sometimes has muscles well around some of his precious calls on the capital beaut, cortez stuff has also built up a unique, exquisite collection of historical times the report cards because they want to drive. and all of a sudden i have another guy who enjoys driving valuable old cars is pink floyd drum and make mason the now surprised classic cars is diverse. i can collect to me, i have a subset of the i never intended to be a collector. i wanted to be racing, dr. nick maybe doesn't want to be cold or collective, but i think most people would, would consider that somebody who has more than 2 cause more than 20 cause it's safe to say he's a collect and a very, very good one. if i have to take over one collective life,

i think it would be nick masons because by day he's a rocker. god mason was one of the found. is that the co which each band, pink floyd in 1965, the successful unique and lucrative career. and yet the weekends or whatever, he's not up on stage, he can go to his bomb, his hanger. and he's got this amazing collection of causes. he is the person who bolt from his heart is gto. when he bought it, he said to himself, i must be crazy. i think he said that his old appropriate on one of my most successful reco it's getting is, this is the one thing with 4 wheels. i think it was something like 40000 pounds. he paid for that car in the 1970. this rory, 250, co that mason bolt the equivalent to 47000 euros is now west more than 14000000. but that doesn't stop him from driving. it's in everyday life. and really stepping

on the gas sing, plastic called racist. the 2nd grade tend to guitar restorative areas. you know, it's a tool really, it's no different, but it's a tool that can bodies. so many special things around me to 50 g t o will also take center stage it simon, kids didn't stand at the rec for my bill in paris. the now do you want to see what you get for say lots of money. the no real ventilation? no air conditioning, no power steering no radio, no windows, no door handles no carpets. but one of the best engines ever designs the

for decades, the re, to 50 g cios which has to be such 6 were built for the most expensive hotels on the caustic comp case that says until simon kingston's to in may 2020, to the kitchen. both the 300 fell off from mercedes for one of his clients for

a 135000000 euros. of the whole story with, with the call was a conversation a long, long time ago with a friend about the great i'm not is my personal favorite. i've never made any secret of that for many, many years because of the story behind it. i need to learn how to pays for bill by legend. dream is eighty's engineer rudolph wilton house for the 1956 racing season . but when mercedes quit most of school, the 8 cylinder mules, but they've been 300 holes kind of, i became company called one of them. so it wouldn't house himself found of the, the smallest i'd love to come back to it from the good signs of it. like that, i'm the aesthetics of the call just as soon as also we obtain a vanity of that cost. never before had mercedes handed over a milestone in the company's history from its classic debt by

the but then kids didn't came alone and entered into tough negotiations. that announced it over 2 years. it was time, well spent a lot of diplomacy was a very constructive motive power this benefit. mercedes was signal, but it's what it sends, a co incidence. so maybe this happening at the moment when the see this wants to become like show the brand worldwide. and of course, i mean you've heard the story for ages that finality is the most expensive plastic cover. and so you want the top that everything is just to perfect if it was a marketing exercise, it certainly works very well because it's got everybody talking about the most expensive car and the well being, i'm excited. but ultimately, lock is always an important ingredients. no matter how hard you work,

sometimes the saws just need to align and there they did. kids didn't, has been dealing in cas, it call since 2006, and has done a lot to create a lucrative markets, leading figures in the same like palo to me nearly an automotive design professor under regular judges. caustic call contests until them fish a collect to announce a store, around keeping a close eye on. how could students changing the well, the classic cause the he realized the as one of the earliest ones to bring passion and business together. ca, dealers promoting disc us doing amazing video productions doing story telling, becoming dense as protagonist hardly village live site creates a because this has generating awareness and affection for the business. the,

with his own production company, simon, kids didn't create elaborate videos to tell funny and creative stories about his cause, the films that shed light to him, the history of plastic card, the simply the sensible fascination of automobiles the most definitely the kids didn't always put the vehicles in the best lights for his bias, the so why do you spend so much money in

the car? here? we believe something comes up, the history of the value of the story behind the car. and the fact that when you buy a condo, it was raised by fun, joe, or by new velocity, or by jackie excess, a car that has a story to sell. then you become part of the story. make yourself more than on bunch of other well champions leading on understanding mountain view. well, the rental price of the bottom, 70000005, but then we speak with dial, disclose optical approach. i'm afraid that there's been shift just recently. you would say really the new sensory, most of the interest as been driven by financial interest when seen plastic cause gaining value faster than ok. as they try to achieve a higher return on their investment. and surprising collectors get help from

websites with an index documenting the performance of classic cars. the trish has a lot of coma investment bank investigates how calls have traded options and private sales. a global turnover of 5000000 euros a gave with some 200000 plastic calls. nothing uncommon in the past decade. the passion, fantastic cause has a passion for rich boys that play with expensive toys. the most negative thing is that there are still people around the they only care about money, and it's always difficult to speak about the business ends, enthusiasm and passion. but anyway, it's, it's a question of the percentage of, of everything. so met from a bill in paris, the wealthy collect his old flock to the ferry, to 50 g t. the and they said, or once it was, what will it be was in the future?

and you know the question that people don't ask much these days. what does it drive like it's not like it's somebody woke up one day instead, a ferrari g t o is going to be the next collectible cars because a long time ago somebody drove one and thought, wow, this is really cool. and that is where the g t o legend started. people talk forever about the values of g t o is but what made them, especially in the 1st place, is having joya. but they will have to drive the, the, the se, simon kits and will continue to sell plastic costs to the most diverse people in the world will have one thing in common. they have a lot of money at

a completely crazy about amazing old or how much this gets in and from the sale of each call, at least 5 percent of the sales price. the rest is a trade secrets and more automotive tales. next time on read the
