the the, the holy grail of electrical ability. so the power cost for you fuel from this guy just divides, worries about range and charging time. the simple but brilliant idea that loves 2 companies to pursue this into bankruptcy. so no moses in germany and like yet and the never meant to be seen doesn't by the way

through and the concept, they put everything into building their own sort of costs and say, what's the big deal about? so 1st we need to understand how they work. that's why we hit an awesome germany with a solar ice team that's on the bottom. so this is one of the most recent electric vehicles in the world. yes. i 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 handled through back back in 2017. he was one of the founding members of teams on back in 18 to participate in solar racing competition across the world. for example, in australia, i mean that it looks a bit like know, fox. yeah. like a desktop you could say, and it's, and a little bit it writes like that too. so how many kilometers do you care of?

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 good some direct sun light, 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 solo rates come needs to remain stationary today. it has a 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 of the car to be as efficient as possible. aerodynamics key. just to give you an idea of how light this is when i do this. but the whole cause taking 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 fueling made of the carbon fiber. everything is, is mills out of pertaining more. allow me minium car fiber. so live way. this is definitely a way to go because everything else is more rolling resistance holding resistance needs more energy. the real crux of commercial solar costs is that they are much heavier than this raise costs. and so like, can only produce so much power. that's why making them run only on solar poa is really, really hot. like every other electric vehicles. they also have batteries that can be charged on the grid. i bought the solar cells. i actually went bankruptcy started for solar, cost off blackstone, how much is from germany and light year from the netherlands. because manufacturing the south is quite complex. usually panels of straight part in solar costs. they need to be carved. 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 tronics to to still get most of the you, it's open, but that's not the only challenge the cell should be robust and shouldn't spence out if the car crashes and integrating them into a cop out isn't easy either. buying the machines, buying the materials, developing manufacturing processes. and after you did all that, you need to get your newly developed solar car pops certified for every day street . all of those costs a lot of money sign motorsports if needed to, to 300000000 euros. just to go into mass production, know, pocket money full 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 already begun means more generally to the energy location on the globe. some countries get most on them,

others time of the year, of course, shading dust on panels, solar panels, aging, which makes them less efficient and more productive ranges with $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. com, manufacturing capacity like your underestimates manufacturing costs. they plan to sell that like a 0 for 120000 years, but increased to to 250000 euro due to expensive comp pods. they follicle bankruptcies in 2023. but what happens if the one premise that completely out of proportion, something that is being tested right now by the truck manufacturer scan yet in sweden, in collaboration with books that universities are you? what's file that has been going on since september, but it's when suspend 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 of 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 best buy 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. lucky into this with the 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 test these right now. welcome to the new generation of the audi s 3 both. 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 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 at 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 preloaded turbo charger ensures

a more spontaneous power delivery across these 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 in the 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. 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 wield independently, and meant to 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 this may say now about the s 3 is the fact that they are so very different. depending on the drive mode, 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. some of the es 3 is options such as driver assistance systems and infotainment functions can be conveniently added via the audi a 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 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. and the really expensive i'm in 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, you have more privileges that you don't need money for me. doesn't mean and it's the well, the 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 stuff. second, great tickets are a strand of various you know, it's a tool in the hub. pacific classic coffee. good. would that come close to that again? so on lake como and pebble beach, simon kingston plays the master of ceremonies. juggling the fantasies and passions . if he's clear on town in a marketplace, west billions kitchen also has one of the largest stands that red trim may bail 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. my start is, 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 of the see is not easy. but it's fun. american, she to hasan likes to turn up the classic 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 rice. handsome 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, you get to have more privileges that you don't need. but us as a sold, as a person. i believe i am with such as with the full 100 calls from fully or is and 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. 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 mic mason. now surprised classic cars is diverse so i can collect to me i have a subset of some. i never intended to be a collector. i wanted to be racing. dr. nick maybe doesn't want to be called a collector, but i think most people would, would, would, can consider that somebody who has more than 2 cause more more than 20 cards. it's safe to say he's a collect and a very, very good one. if i have to take over one, collect those life. i think it would be nic mason's because by day he's

a rocker. god mason was one of the founders of 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, it is all the appropriate one of my most successful reco. it's going, it's a, it's a 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 40000000. but that doesn't stop him from driving. it's in everyday life. and really stepping on the gas thing, plastic called racist. greg, send the guitar

a strand of areas. you know, it's a tool really, you know, 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 kits didn't stand at the rec for my bill in paris. the now do you want to see what you get for to 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 3 to 50 g to use of which have me such 6 were built with the most expensive hotels on the caustic com market. that's used until simon kingston's to in may 2020 to the symbol of the 300 s l for mercedes, for one of his clients, for a 135000000 euros. of the whole story with, with that car was a conversation

a long, long time ago with a friend about what the great concern was not is my personal favorite. i've never made any secret of that for many, many years because of the story behind it. only to learn how to pays for bill by legend 3 miss hades engineer rudolph school in house for the 1956 racing season. but when mercedes quit, most of school, the 8 cylinder mules, but they've been sweet 100 holes. tyler became company called one of them, so it wouldn't house himself found the smallest of them have imagined it from the could signs of it like that. i'm the aesthetics of the call just as also we obtain divinity 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 in on 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. how would this benefit? my site is what signal, but it's what it sends, a co incidence. so maybe this happening at the moment when to see this one's 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 in the well being. i'm a site, 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 caustic call since 2006, and has done a lot to create a lucrative markets. leading figures in the same like palo to mean nearly an automotive design professor under regular judges. caustic call contests until them fish a collect to and renounce restore a place value. and how kids did is changing the well, the classic calls the p realize the as one of the earliest ones, them to bring passion and business together. ca dealers promoting the cost, doing amazing video productions. doing storytelling, 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 that tell funny and creative stories about his cause. the films that shed light to him, the history of classic cars, simply the sensible fascination of automobiles the most definitely the kids didn't always put the vehicles in the best slides for his bias. the so why do you spend so much money in the car here, even if something comes up, the history,

the value of the story behind the car. and the effect that when you buy a condo was waste my 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 monsanto, the well champions leading on understanding on the new world and reco price of the bottom. 70000000. 5. modern masonic the every single dial disclose optical approach. i'm afraid that there's been a shift just recently. you would say really in the new century, most of the interest as been driven by financial interests when seen plastic cause gaining value faster than r 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 cause it traded options and private sales. a global turnover, a 5000000000 years ago, with some 200000 plastic calls. nothing uncommon in the past decade. the passion for plastic 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 ferrari, to 50 g t the and they said or was 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 because somebody woke up one day and said 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 gto legend started. people talk forever about the values of g t o is, but what made them, especially in the 1st place, is how enjoyable they were to drive the say simon kits and will continue to sell dyslexic calls to the most diverse people in the world to all have one thing in common, they have a lot of money at a completely crazy about amazing old on how much this gets to 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
