On the past 700 meters on a road often used by the Tour De France cyclist but he certainly didnt have to pedal the new audi as q. A. To get up here the s. Stands for the sportiness provided by a whopping 435 horsepower and now klaus is going to give us a little sample on some mail involved citing that smug. Traditionally audi only hangs the s. Badge and it sports models but this is a good sized s. U. V. Can it really deliver what wed expect from a true s. Model. But i will close admits right off that an audi q 8 is a hefty car but this is the class more and more buyers are going for it offers lots of room and lots of comfort now theyre offering more agila. And this one the eschewing and sporting as to the creation if hes going to see if it adds up i thought this guy had to acknowledge it. And terms of performance the s. Q. H. 320. 00 kilowatts definitely qualify as a sports car at least from 0 to 100 Kilometers Per Hour inches 4. 8 seconds. Is output doesnt come from a gasoline engine but from a turbo charged to be a diesel the only engine available for the eschewing. The madden i need clothes who wonders why only chose to put a diesel in the s. Q. L. The engineers must have known what theyre doing diesels are powerful this one achieves 435 horsepower and 900 new meters of torque how do you reach fuel consumption at less than 8 leaders per 100 kilometer klaus used a bit less than 9 leader so he kept his foot on the gas a v 8 engine has 4 leaders displacement off to the top speed is capped at 250 Kilometers Per Hour on the highway its fast 0100 kilometer per hour sprint makes it easy to forget this car waste 2. 00 times. Because. All that power comes to the road through an 8 speed tiptronic got a many transmission working without a hitch to make sure the s. Q. It has enough thrust available at every rev range how to give it to turbo charge one for the lower range and one for the upper. But close steps on the gas he gets and what he had response in the lower reverential and plenty of pickup in the upper one there is yet another smaller electronically driven turbo charger the gives this out he is a mild hybrid system with a big starter motor drives the engine with a belt when you turn the ignition and once the cars moving off the electric energy is used to give it a little extra push when excel or the other but in the. One of them on the wall say at. The bottom to show any that i dont know what ive decided id like to still do. Q. A. Drivers might briley go offroad when they do that 25 centimeters clearance is nice to have. On the outside the s. Q. It stands out from its non and siblings primarily by the sporty design of his bumpers. B l e g headlights are standard as an option they can be replaced with matrix and we get headlights. Toward the rear the roofline t. Person near coupe a body style and a quad exhaust tips make for a striking conclusion. To me interior has no shortage of shiny trim or occasion to polish it clean but at least the result has a high quality envious. Push toward seed search standard but klaus is nestled into the optional as seats with even better lateral support. As 605 liters of cargo space extends to a maximum 1755 meters. Close hardly needs to mention this eschewing has all wheel drive and its electronically controlled in addition of roll stability control can be ordered to electronic stabilizers one in front and one in back keep the car from rolling excessively incur these are fitted with electric motors that in just the stiffness of the sway bars so the ride may be relatively soft or relatively hard depending on condition of the buyer can also choose between 21 and 22 inch wheels this test car has 22 and shrimps i dont leave you they look nice they also make for a good. Handling. In spite of its weight the s. U. V. Roans curves with grace thanks to the standard audi drive select dynamic handling system and the adaptive air suspension sport with regulated damping and the weight does have its plus sights those being greater stability and comfort known technically as the mass moment of inertia. Plus a surprise at how incredibly agile the s. U. V. Seems kind of hard changes of direction he believes its partly because of the engine characteristics and partly because of the suspension it since the car hardly rolls when taking curves at high speed it gives the impression of being lighter than it is so these 2 stabilizers noticeably reduce the subjective feeling of weight. B s q 8 may handle like a sports car but it writes like a luxury car and a ray of drivers assistance systems take on some of the work and stress the principal says are standard in the as q. A. For example the present system which applies the brakes in an emergency situation. And out so for plows concludes by asking who could have imagined just 10 or 15 years ago such a big heavy vehicle as for sports car and it actually drives like sports it has sports car features and equipment you can cruise down the highway or thunder over country roads its a car people can have fun with but that fun comes at a price of nearly 100000 euros for the basic model i dont want to. Making a splash on the big stage mini reveals its newbie in rotterdam we all. Mini cooper and this 0 emissions model has arranged between 235 and 270 kilometers and still has all the zip of a classic many feel like motor packs 135 kilowatts of power and delivers a maximum of 270 new meters of torque the electric mini has been in the pipeline for a long time so why now. Well because some of the miles as clearly there are now infrastructure is there in many markets so thats also why we are here for example for the global launch of the mini electric in rotterdam in the netherlands an example of a markets where the infrastructure for electrification is at vons and therefore also the share of electrified vehicles is already quite significant so today the market is there the technology is also there so we can offer the right interior space. And also a good electric range going hand in hand so thats why today the time is right for the mini electric. Mini had already designed an electric model almost 10 years ago but it never made it to show ropes around 500 were built as part of minis Pilot Project to push forward with emissions free driving and development of the necessary infrastructure. Even carried out trials with public charging stations in the u. S. And europe but the focus on practicality and user friendliness. Cost the many electric was always meant to be more than a cost to be part of an electric ecosystem and thats why we have a lot of us in this 360. 00 degree electric ecosystem that make it more than a cost. We have p a tokyo car sharing the possibility of. This week live with friends and family and with that we also pay into the Community Aspect of the brand new to the standard electric mini jumps from 0 to 60 kilometers an hour in around 4 seconds and to 100. 00 in just over 7 seconds as is typical for an electric motor full torque is available right from the get go power is transmitted to the front wheels via a single stage transmission with integrated differential reaching a top speed of 150 kilometers an hour. Having no gas or Diesel Engine to accommodate opened a brand new scope for design. Therefore we were able to focus on the tests like the grid so we do have still the hexagon to shape but due to the fact that theres not a Combustion Engine behind we need much less air so perfect is either meant for us its almost close to just one for a song for as an air intake. The standard 3 door mini served as the basis for the electric model in fact when the company developed the latest version the already have an all electric variant in mind the high voltage batteries 12 modules are arranged in 18 shape underneath the floor between the french seats and under the rear seats without compromising on space inside the car the charging port is above the right rear wheel where the cap for gas or diesel is located in the standard 3 door many and of course theres no need for exhaust pipes on the electric model. Not a detail that its really important to us its that were so entirely new design that is from a technological point to feel much more modern than normal wheels so we do have inserts that improve aerodynamics of the cobs. A fission sees the game. Of at least for 3 of the 4 driving modes it also has whats known as the one pedal feeling a typical trait of electric cars as soon as you lift your foot off the accelerator the car slows down the electric engine converts Kinetic Energy into electricity and feeds it back into the high voltage battery in sport mode the electric mini provides sharper responses and steering while many an electric go hand in hand because many is of course very urban electrification offers a false way to improve air quality in cities and many and electrification also very much fits driving. And many electric drives like the go carts you expect also need to be so its a great combination and a big milestone for the b. M. W. Groups electrification strategy. The b. M. W. Group hopes to have 25. 00 electric models on the market by 2023 the new mini cooper ac will be produced at the mini plant oxford in the u. K. It will start rolling off the production lines there in november 2019 alongside the conventional models prices for this classic british car with modern electric drive technology will started 32500 euros in germany. Played. A. New sun unveils a facelift for its g t r news supposed super sports car using carbon parts has reduced the weight of this 441 kilowatt bullet by 30 kilograms you can hit a top speed of over 300 kilometers an hour and shoot from 0 to 100. 00 in under 3 seconds the bad news is facelift has upped the price tag 525000 euros to just under 210000. B. M. W. Presents the vision and next is concept hybrid is a glimpse of things to come in the future sports cars the driver and the car almost merge into one the controls and data appear on 3 displays within the drivers direct field of vision 441. 00 kilowatts a power can with the car to a top speed of 300 kilometers an hour and an all electric drive it has a range of 100 kilometers and. The car says that in his patriot considers the mercedes a class a standard among the cool prehaps and black suits that classic look perfectly but wait is that black. When the light falls on it just right it actually appears dark green. The color is in fact called Emerald Green metallic who pays have been a permanent fixture in mercedes for over 15 years 2 of their socalled power domes on the hood give the coupe a an extra brownie appearance. Some things never change like the flat roof line and the 2 doors typical of a cooping. The spoiler integrated into the tailgate adds to the sporty look along with the chrome finish tailpipes. Inas demonstrates how the windows disappear into the body to make for a real open air feel that there isnt even a pillar left in between so you get a perfect all round view and they were flying just beautifully accentuated us. But a glance in the Rearview Mirror reveals one of the corners problems the size and position of the rear window makes it difficult to estimate the cars dimensions. That money just feels like she has to turn around to see how big the car reeling yes but there is a rear view camera to help with a new very. Cool but i want. Were testing the a 350 traditionally that name would suggest a 3 liter 6 cylinder engine which is Still Available for the key class coupe de but not in this version this is a 2 liter 4 cylinder inline engine and with 220. 00 kilowatts of power its still pretty impressive out on the road it springs from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in under 6 seconds. Yet it is points out the eclipses of various driving those including eco comfort and true sport which really are very sporty what they can drive consumption up to over 14 meters and thats a lot of you know says eco mode is fine for everyday use the car can still go faster on the autobahn if you get up to 200 kilometers an hour and. No problem. The interior is a charming blend of modern and traditional styling the instruments and infotainment system appear on a wide screen display and controlled by a touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel. The gears of a 90 tronic automatic transmission can be shifted manually on the steering wheel. At night a 64 color ambient lighting system illuminates the interior. And thats another highlight for anus is the wood which is of course a very classic material but its used here in a very modern way with a. Silvery sheen and these lovely wavy lines she says everything looks and feels sumptuous. And equipment package with various air quality settings and fragrances is also available. Some people might find the plastic seat gold holders a bit of an eyesore in this otherwise luxury setting and indeed to be something of a contortionist to get in the back seat but once youre in there its spacious enough. Thats talking to says not only is it a really fun car to drive its also really comfortable long long journey all the usual assistance systems expect nothing stays keep the driver in the lane and at a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Of a big fan of the traffic sign recognition system which he finds very reliable the car even recognizes all lit up signs on construction sites and the little carts on the roadside and i was talking about him. Like a companion should always inspire some kind of emotion says yes and the eclipse does just that and if she could design her own she design it just like this she finds the colors outside and very appealing and this car balances comfort and sportiness brilliantly although she personally prefers the comfort for long distances it has everything you need at its great fun.
