because if we lose too much of it all wrong, we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary the if you press the gas pedal here, and since he'd be profound for the when it comes to electric cause this has got to be one of the more powerful, but also more expensive once you can get the new audi s e for on the g

t. it's basically only of faces, but there is way more to that. and you can see at 1st glance, let's check it out. welcome to rep. since 2021, the audi each one d t has the one of the fastest and fastest machines on offset from the english that faced call make and with it's late to stop dates. things just get back. let's talk about power. audi managed to improve especially the ria engine because the each one g t always has a from the engine and the power output for b s, he drawn g p, which basically now is the entry level version is $500.00 kilowatts and that goes up to $680.00 kilowatts for the r as each one g t performance, which is more than $200.00 kilowatts in addition to a power compared to the predecessor. and that is simply crazy. there are so many cars out there that don't even remotely have $200.00 kilowatts of paula. and now

we're talking about just a little upgrade for the newest version of the a tron g t. the recently driven the audi r s 6, which takes about the same time to get from 0 to out. and let's get on it as an hour. but they say it's by no means the same thing. if you press the gas pedal here you want. and so the be propelled forward and a man of it is simply crazy why the r a 6 still has the 2nd of thinking. what do you want? and then it's slowly styles and then it also packs really a good punch. but it is by no means the same thing. why do you have to admit though, is the sound and the r 6 is way better than this? the

so basically to me the idea a car would be an acceleration like this, with the sound of an r, a 6. the, what you also have to take into account is this is the entry level version. so the r s h on g t performance will make the same dash from 0 to a 100 kilometers now in way on the 3 seconds, which is simply incredible and i also can't wait to test this out. once the car comes onto the market, the, the top speed for the all d s h one, g p is 245 kilometers an hour. and the r s versions can go up to 250 kilometers an hour. of course, because we'll be able to drive even faster,

but that would drain the battery way more than it already does the, the battery of the h o n g t has also been improved. not only did audi manage to give it more usable energy from around 84 to 97 kilowatt hours. but they also at the same time manage to keep the. busy read about the same size and make it 10 kilograms light or the read to on g t is basically a brother from a now the, the 2 forces tie gun which is. busy on this 40 a side, the eater on g t n itself is more of a grand tourism all that is also suitable for long distance driving. while the tie

can is more of a sports car. of course, if your name includes forces, then people expect you to be sporty, a, and so it's no problem to me whatsoever that the each on g p can not match the take of in terms of spalding this, it doesn't need to because it has all the virtues, the audi also managed to improve the battery charging. you can now charge with up to $320.00 kilowatts, $270.00 was the predecessor figure. and also the charging. i'd say environment because usually charging the battery with the maximum speed requires an idea of temperature, which was around $35.00 degrees. but now you can charge past that temperature to between $15.35 degrees, which is a huge improvement, and will keep the battery in

a foss charging state longer, and therefore also charge it faster. that means in an ideal state, the s h o n g p can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 18 minutes. and that is really, really quick. the when it comes to recuperation, audi also manage to improve the car. we can now recuperate with up to 400 kilowatts, which is more than 100 kilowatts more then the predecessor good. and that way you will get away more energy back into the battery before the brakes need to kick in. it's no surprise that the se turn gfc has an impressive set of numbers backing its performance and several also new 20 inch multi site wheels on our festa by c s and r s. models.

while the headlights remain the same and the front bumper has been completed, the redesign to match the characteristics of the s version of the april and g t. and that by the way, was also applying people, criticize them all the predecessor because the front bump up was the same. no matter if you got the entry level version or the highest r s version. and with a new one that has changed to tell them apart, instantly the the interior of the audi as a drawing g t looks quite appealing to me. a pretty cool feature is that's panoramic glass rules that you can tense by the press of a button. the was also new in the, as a drawn jeep. see is the adaptive suspension that was not standard in the base,

each one g t version in the previous generation. and you can really see the difference when he used to drive select the button down here to switch from column for a to dynamic mode, which makes the waste differ and lost edge all incurs. ultimately, there is the active suspension. i was able to test that one with the prototype drive that i took part in at the end of 2023. and i have to say it was quite cool. it can adjust each wheel individually. and that way you can have things like the easy entry function that will pop up the call once you open it and you get in, once it goes to door, the car gets down to its stand, the level and you can stop driving. do you need it? not really?

is it a nice feature? yes, of course you can get that far than you asked you to and gt; enough. clothes also for the are i suppose the general driving impression in the audi s e to on that g t is really good. i mean, they call that cost way above 100000 euros. it is clear you can't afford to make any mistakes to make, allowed to make it bomb b or anything else. and as expected, audi did just that the call handle its really well. fee is really good and is really uncomfortable. of course, all these improvements will cost you prices, so the as each $1.00 g t stuff, it's around a $126000.00 zeroes. while the rest, each one g t costs, at least a $147000.00. something up my audio april and g t experience i really liked driving the call. it is correct crazy. while

accelerating, it also handles very good in curves and the addition to arrange and charging speed all the manage to give the car make it very suitable for long distance trips. the only thing i missed while driving this car is the good old v 8. so on and all the new l d s each one d t is comfortable on long distance trip, as it is on show top power plants, the good range on foss charging a major process. the on the downside is set to invest. the tile powerful cost is of course, the price, the costa rica and brazil in the fast lane when it comes to e. mobility preserve as latin america's largest electric vehicle markets. now, brazilian cities are looking to hop award to buy electrifying. there are been bus

please. meanwhile, in costa rica, sets of laws from the last decade came to remove economic barriers that could be the move this small latin american country needs to give its battery electric vehicles. a boost we'll talk more about how costa rica has increased electric vehicle uptake in a moment. but 1st, let's take a look at one of the countries rarest cars. a converted electric car and used to run and gasoline before being retrofitted with a battery by to start at founders. cesar gonzales. so lease, and emmanuel castro. the too also and to prove that converting the power trains of cars in companies, fleets does make economic sense. they say converting existing gasoline powered cars . tvs can be cheaper than buying a new vehicle. a little bit out of the mean we'd reduce price is,

puts us in the sector of the market where there are people who may not be able to buy a new vehicle. but they can up for a converted to electric vehicle or own baker, electrical come back to their goal was also to give people the freedom to renew the vehicles they already have back. they admit that conversion process is difficult and time consuming opportunity mom and that kind of person can take about 3 or 4 months depending on the vehicle how complex it is, all like weight distribution and design that we have to do. so it's a whole studies sourcing parts to fit the custom built is also an issue, but they hope that by showing off the cars they've already converted, including the yellow mini cooper we saw earlier. they can convince companies in cities to convert tara existing fleets instead of buying new is one of the terms of the fraction of the price. if you compare cars like the mini cooper, the customer, i'm $13000.00 or i'm not knowing many that come straight out of the factory right

now. that costs between $50.00 and $60000.00 here. and that is in glenn sutherland . let me look. converting gasoline powered cars to electric is just one innovation . but what about those laws? we mentioned earlier, they established for a different price brackets, and each has different discounts. economy cars get 100 percent of their sales excise in customs value taxes way. for example, the g lead geometry, see with price the starting at $27900.00 us dollars. but 0 percent of those taxes get waived for cars that cost above $60000.00 and select alexis far as the $450.00 cars price between these $2.00 receive staggered productions. this is part of the costa rican government's attempt to make buying a new e. be more appealing a more we know other countries have

restrictions or more texas on combustion vehicles and punish that decision to purchase one. not in cost, sorry costume is supposed to be completely and all. this is sylvia rojas, the president of the latin american association for sustainable mobility. other parents offered the drivers include free parking in some areas and no annual road permit fees. but how well has it worked? cost to re it because the market share is pretty decent. we had trouble confirming official figures about the trade magazine ally tech says the market share. there is high with estimates between 7.3 and 7.5 percent in 2020 to compare that to the official figures from canada, the us, columbia, and brazil. for the same year, the when the law passed in 2018, the revenue in costa rica from the electric vehicle market was nearly $14000000.00 us dollars. but the markets rising and statistic,

market insights estimates it will be worth 321000000 by 2028 small compared to some of its neighbors, but not bad for a country like costa rica still here. as in most countries, there are plenty of people who can't afford or don't want to buy their own the views. so how can their transport go? electric answer at the humble bus. just a few kilometers outside of the megacity sound power though, is it production site for the company. electron disposition firm has been making electric, trolley buses for decades. but in recent years, they added 100 percent battery electric buses to their catalogue. these buses are already on the streets of south power, though most likely it is we have 85 percent of the pure electric market. this is the ada olivera, the executive director of an extra, she knows the buses or company pretty is, is,

are more expensive to buy. so that initial investment needs to make long term sense for city officials. and also if we put buses that costs a $3.00 times more than these, the buses and they last less than 15 years, we would undermine the transport system not only in brazil, but in that in america. these buses must last at least 15 years in the system to lose this came up making sure our buses last is critical. here in south palo which banned the purchase of 90, the buses in lake 2022 and so part of the public transport system is composed of $12000.00 vehicles that run daily all over the city. they transport an average of 7000000 passengers, especially in comparison terrace, has just over 2000000 residents and 4700 city buses and did even earn the title,

the best city in europe for public transport last year. but in south palo, which is 15 times bigger than the french city and has nearly 6 times as many people, buses are a major part of the transportation network. it's going to be a heavy lift to meet the ambitious goal of increasing the fleet to 20 percent. reducing noise and pollution would be additional benefits. hitting national targets to reduce c o. 2 in line with the paris climate accord is part of the goal and brazil like many latin american nations, as relatively green electricity grants may be collecting in latin america. 65 percent of electricity comes from green and renewable sources for different allow this race read like, you know, is the executive secretary of the latin american energy organizations. i use it, there are countries where renewables to account for nearly 100 percent of electricity, paraguay, uruguay, and it's some hours the day she laid the hold of it. the many of the countries in

this region have large hydro electric projects and other green energy sources, all of which contribute to the cleaner energy matrix, which in turn makes the switch to electric vehicles more impactful. but this is not a simple swap over for one electric buses are more expensive or stolen with the theme, anything it has the initial investment cost. and that's precisely because of the new technology to them over to the luxury of transport secretary and miranda, assess the initial investment was about twice as much as a gasoline powered bus before the pandemic. and now folks are bothered to but we have observed that the battery electric vehicle was costing 3 times more than a traditional diesel vehicle. he also talked about adoption bottlenecks because infrastructure like electric charging garages have yet to be built. there

has to be all the necessary logistics because today the logistics of diesel is much more consolidated as to because the garage is that where great volume of fuel is consumed by each of the buses today, the garage itself, the concession that company itself, they have their own pass and tanks, the large distributors, buy and sell them all, but don't know about this tooth drops. the costs and the infrastructure are important. factors to car buyers around the world. beyond just transports in the cities, entire ecosystem has to be prepared. while electric claims it has a big electric bus market share and brazil, they're not the only players in the game. b, y, d, china is the truck or not that's going neck and neck with tesla also produces electric buses and now they're planning to expand into latin america. meanwhile, mercedes benz is already in business with electra. they produce electric bus chastity is like b as in brazil,

companies like electra and others. the companies as it already has 250 chassis using operation in buses in south palo. we believe it's just a kid off the bus. this is asking the president of mercedes benz brazil and the ceo of mercedes benz trucks. so we see a stronger need in public transportation and be expected also a year left in america to grow. so you can see what's 20, sorry, a. and i think in general, you understand like was one bus, you can capture 50 cars. while the personally, the market relies heavily on imports to catch says increasing domestic production for electric buses will be important. i think it's a great opportunity though that maybe is missed at the moment because if you have some natural resources to, to know hydrogen production or if you have the ingredients for various you like for

instance, actions, you know to that as a reproduction. obviously that could also stimulated with low feet and the end of these for, you know, i can see no, they're not with you and part of the components of the vehicles. but you should rather see that you would do better with the local industry and then utilize the natural resources in the countries. just like with personal electric vehicles, increasing domestic solutions is seen as critical for the future production of the buses. so our costa rica and brazil, and the fast lane when it comes to e mail ability. government policy in costa rica is one factor that could but more a visa on the roads and start ups like electro convergeone is the costa rica hope they can help a different bracket of car owner to sport green license plates like these. meanwhile, mega cities in brazil are investing more in electric buses, which capitalize on rich and diverse green energy sources. but even though you, these are gaining momentum in south america, it's likely to be

a long road ahead. the 4 major thing is if i step out on the front, this smell of bon entire is my fluids under transferred control in how to cause signs. how to cause slides is an amazing feeling that it's like a soon when you else sounds on like move and then sign the maneuver as well as a bash at 2 of those areas rising, which is for talents. the boots are based, petro heads call themselves the drift hunters and competitively over steering, flashy suits upper right. so their own type be placed. obstacles is the name of their game. when i said 15, how is it in uh, at icloud. com, just a normal. okay, i will let the dog zoo uh the engine was a 4 cylinder boss. the loans do what were into the truck we did. i told the guy

that i want to shift to his life. now just thing is not for you. just stick to cut ups and com or difficult. so and, and i was like, bro, i goes through like a mid for this stuff. i don't know how to do it, but i want to do this now. is just an understood. i've always arrested by the police. they don't see people, i see them. they'll just fling in the cause of a no, it's not a buff windshield. they call it davids chiefs game. jane, andrea, but it's more to sport. i want us to take this game. so the next level, i don't want to do, almost 3 different. i want to us to take you to the professional. we. let's take this movement of motor sports somewhere to stop the law pumping. the heat breaks on this for a while and a batch develop a different approach. the existing on public fluids is a new got every language, so it's strictly avoid drips down the roads. however, we can and um we hold events in like rented spaces, we go through the right channel, is that the police or would safety v i o. all of those um,

organizations or targets use. we go to and it's on every town to make sure that that event is functioned on that event is like fully an ego safety wise location. otherwise, noise wise, we use the show media icons like that. you start grounds for you to take talk to spread out if you do is on the invite people to come over for events. it hasn't taken long for a growing subculture, of new recruits to begin taking part in the sanction contests. competitors scored under control of the vehicles. this elliptic flourishes and how close they can get the car to obstacles without changing them. of course, costs build up for the men and their machine is actually on expensive support. when i started, i almost believe they gave because when a normal person gets like, let me, let me, let me put it in the allow. when you do want to know more person gets a $100.00, just thinking of buying is be a phone or gets in getting shed. if i should get a 100 dollar 90 dollars, we need to make

a $10.00 for me. cuz i'm always thinking of upgrading to kinda how to make the cop off or beautiful, how to make the cost on all costs. one of the greatest expenses is tire. ro is one year robust euro by the way and for the welcome british on you've gotten to like 10 tires or 15, started off that a competition and you have 2 interests in your funds. you're just changing the cost during some borne out, some goose quotes, the funds are giving them to us moving back through the one the just taking idealized physical space is a watching you while you i just in gives a makes you happy to close. you see them smiling and see them getting excited the like you see the joy on the edge and i didn't pump in them. so of course it's going to transfer onto you now because i get, you know, they're all etzky is definitely opened yet. so i don't have any doubt or anything that we would actually be able to represent then do activities show assumption for

you on the internet. as houses as the smoke clears and the roar of the engines, faith, it's back to the workshop for awhile and g, bash, and time to get their x ready for another round of turn out. then more automotive tales. next time on read the, the, the

russians invasion of ukraine has left the russian minority latvia in shock. the war has transformed their lives into a delicate balancing act as they try to preserve the russian language and culture, while also demonstrating the loyalty to the latvian states. conflicted identities stopped in 30 minutes on d w. and they get away with it. how

does one become a target online? hey? tens of thousands of cyber believes rose social media platforms that go to a novice breakdown. you'll never take me down. the cyber bullying call town. in 75 minutes on d. w. the easiest on the rounded oak trees. and they used by day, by night and over the full season.

natures, great, adaptive, and living see to europe, oak trees, gulf jenny reset on d w. so you don't feel the same way you expect and want different things from life than your parents . i just want to pursue what that's nice on fired or you think you kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, unreasonable, or portentous nonsense. i wonder why it's under the doctor? is there an alternative plan? we've done everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing worked. so in the it's time

you're a sweet thing for us and then when generations to ministry this kind of fun it feels like this is do you have any news live from the island? german, easy to lock shows and this is a confidence sites. also, the collapse of hayes, colorless in governments, arise smiles for the tongue, slip, spots, smell elections. germans will likely head. so the poles in february was a has as christians in syria hold that 1st months since the full of former president, i saw what does the new regime mean for the countries, minority groups and fashion. all of a sudden breaks his silence off to his full from power and serious interest and statements. he says he planned to keep on fighting for russia, evacuated him.
