and mobility loo electric quiet and futuristic is the mercedes e q s the best electric comma in there with all those with 1st, roughly with the british. is this the most dangerous in the world? without it all hear me feel this is not all. often volkswagen me activates the gts label. does that make the id for both? you know we've got to endo one in the front one at the back. the only way is up for rev. bring on the mountain. wow, look at that. it made quick work to happen as it was. i don't know. i tiny little hatchback. that is ridiculous. and i mean it in the nicest way possible. it's ridiculous, ah, we're here in sunny switzerland in the middle of the out in black. we had here with us today in the mercedes benz e q and it is all elected god that mercedes has designed and made from the ground that they've done then your electric vehicle architecture. what we want to find out today is the best luxury, the electric vehicle in the world right now. in fact, i think my thing over there is as soon as i am, let's find out here my city, who is the man who created you the 1st mercedes was a race 35 strong or that was with 1st and say the thinking mr. electrification electrification to customize ability. that is luxury for us with the novelty of whatever it is. unbelievable. one of the reasons mercedes is so proud of the e q s is because it is currently the most ed or dynamic production card in the world with a jack coefficient of just 0.20. and they've done everything to make sure that the car is as arrow dynamic as possible, starting from what they call the one boy design, which makes sure that the cos we've from the bonded all the way through the roof lane, down to this somewhat high tail that ends in a spoiler. i was really curious to see what this word echoed, beating drag coefficient meant when the e q s baby was in motion. so i immediately put did the test. oh, that was quite nice. yeah. and it was with your back into the seat and over the speed of the power delivery is needed. how much is manages to this is the fact that the 107.8 kilowatt hour battery, it manages to deliver power of $522.00 p. s. and i need those units you like to convert? yeah, i know miss mercedes that you like to show off your skills. but let me finish my thoughts about what the power figures mean an electronically limited top feed of 210 k p 8 and 0200 in just 4.3 seconds. now let's continue with letting miss mercedes help me with the consumption figures. the average consumption star adds up to 14.4 kilowatt hours and 100 kilometers. if you look right here, you see this figure that says consumption 40.5 from start, which means 14.5 kilowatt hours, 400 kilometers have been consumed. this seems like a fairly efficient amount of energy to be using and i'm quite happy with it because that consumption figure i got is partly because i was going downhill on the hairpin bins of the out. but i use the opportunity to try out the entities. recuperation modes the car comes with deep last the least to corporation de with moderate amounts of the corporation. and the very efficient d minus mod, all controlled by the handy little battleship does, behind the wheel. where all these curb street, i'm going to put it into the minus and then honestly, right now i don't have to break at all the guys doing all of it for me. and then it's also being incredibly energy efficient. all this efficiency leads to an astounding range of 780 kilometers in the us. 40 plus and 676 kilometers and the e q. s 5. it. and this technology will filter down to every car that comes out of mercedes is evie a and emmy car platforms, a milestone for mercedes and green mobility. want to be leader like to drive and to we have obviously proved here. and we want to continue that through from be as close to the 8 helps them. another fascinating aspect of the e q f is that it can handle charging rates of up to 200 kilowatt a, d c charging stations. which means you could potentially get a range of 260 kilometers after charging the e q. s 580 for just 15 minutes or 300 kilometers after charging the e q. s $450.00 plus for 15 minutes. plus mercedes gives european e q s customers. one year of free charging an eye on it is stations. there we go. to experience this, i headed to an eye on at the station where the cruel twist of fate meant that i picked the one charger that was out of order. okay, so if you come to the inside of the car, you will see that even though it is in charging the eat, u. s. is very clear that it's not the cards for it. so if you go there, there's a little message that says the vehicle isn't charging anything quite off the tithing station. nicely displayed on the desk. i was in a hurry to lead, so it's good that i was in a car with an outstanding vent. so i was still able to experience a what a free drive made all the more exciting by the e q. s. as of your actual steering the wheels on the 580 that i was driving turn to 10 degrees, which meant that the over 5 meter long car had a turning circle of just 10.9 meters. that meant big fun. it's a proper, proper, proper hairpin. wow, look at that. it made quick work of the happen as if it was, i don't know, a tiny little hedge bag and on a series of endless happened bands. i don't feel like i'm doing any work at all. and now back to my friends, ah, a lovely to be in switzerland and i've said it before. the air is really clean. except here though we had some bay friendly, very nice cows. let's just say that they smell a little natural. and oh, i don't like this, i'm gonna get back in the most ab quick confession. another reason for my how did the bottle was that i have some things for phobia, of course having been teased by one of the little girls. so, you know, the funny thing is, the minute i got back into the car, i realized that i couldn't smell the coals anymore. and what i also realized was the reason for this is the fact that mercedes has long attend liter. it's g p, a air food are in there, which means that it keeps our dust, it keeps out, fallen, and it keeps out. any bad nashville smells that the very friendly swift goes my attend your way. so it's an added bit of luxury that helps isolated here from the outside would in this log, julius electric car. now the it is, is an electric interpretation of the van use of mercedes. it's flagship is class, which means the chances of being offered driven are quite high. the whole point of a car like this is that you're isolated. the passengers from the road, which leads to is really comfortable driving experience. really comfortable passenger experience. in fact, if i wasn't so distracted by the swift mountain side, i might even consider taking a nap. and since we've been having quite a few early mornings driving the sky, i think i'm going to do just that right now. so sharper this dave as calmly as you can. it's a very polite car, which means that if you don't have a chauffeur on hand to open the door for you and it's a feature that you're missing, the car will open the door for you all on it's on. why thank you mercedes and even though i'm in the car, i don't actually need to lead over and shut the door myself. all i need to do is press on the brake pedal and the doorways, and please at, for me. another impressive feature in the if us is the massive, $56.00 inch hypoth screen that runs from it below to a below. it's in fact 3 separate screens, but seamlessly integrated and put the dash as one unit. the driver displays all the information the driver needs. the center display has everything from navigation to media to additional settings. and the passenger display will allow the front passenger to use entertainment functions will bring it into the future with these they took apart. you have much more space. there is no middle console. you see it in the car, you have like an open middle console. so you, you get new features in it, and that's really nice because then you can play with more colors, more materials, and bring a new atmosphere in that car. ensconced in the lo julius endears of the e q s i decided to spend some time with the artificial intelligence system on our 4 k mercedes. how can i help you down the most hard tongue thing on the driver's seat driver seat. my phones is planned on all that for you. weird. if you like tiny little hands up walking out of the sea, then badging me. hey mercedes, can you please ask the massage function here, mercedes? my babies. oh my i help him. i don't like the my side to make it stop. i'm sorry. can you say that again? can you please make the my side stop? i'm begging you. oh, i have no idea what the heck is going on. this is getting really hard to hands up, bogging at me through the lever. i'm boiling, i don't like bizarre division intelligence one me. and i think you really messing with me and she has the in pain because i was an appeal production model of the u. s. 5, b, i didn't take any of the glitches through seriously. in fact, i even decided to head to emanating into expedients. mercedes is next level in artificial intelligence. their level to be taught mis dr pilot, which will be available in the s class later this year. and the e q s. next year. though, we have really 3 major front facing sensors. they're also on the corners rate or the, the camera, sarah camera, the lighter and the radar. and they substitute each other really neatly and perfectly. and then it was my turn to get behind. the wheel always appears that the name is taken over. i see the difference later. i know that it's getting on. it's on all my god, i think pictures. well the god is very good for me. this is like the novelty of what i'm experiencing is unbelievable. so peace of mind is something that's hard to quantify, but i can feel it right now. so that's like when the net c system believes it has encountered a situation has gone hand leg the police guy needed to make way for it. he shouldn't be a cd of signals and handed controlled back to me. i could activate it again for the buttons. wow, that was interesting. i feel obsolete as a de la. so yes, thank you must say these made me feel completely obsolete. and after making me feel completely redundant, miss mercedes put me firmly in my place and had the slough. after it all came loose cds, i think it's time for you to take a nap. now your questions keep me awake. i also had a moment to reflect on my favorite thing that fabulous your axle steering. i have to say that i've never given any manner of mountain road or here ord with as many bins as i have driven today and been this relaxed nowhere. no car. no. how is this the best luxury even the wood? well, all things considered. i think it could possibly be exactly that. it is a mercedes through the feel of the invaders, the build quality of the car, the way it handles on the door. when it comes to electric cars, everybody has something cody and anxiety when you have an in the 780 kilometer, there's absolutely no reason to be why they, they thought this seems to be a step in the day detection for the company. and i think it's interesting the fact that they want to switch over the way they build cars. so everything is now built round up as an e v. if the future is electric because they're constantly being boy, that it is that i agree

museums in time in baton. written bag is at the wheel of a roaring monster. the infernal machine is called brutus. an aircraft engine applies $750.00 horse power to full syn wheels on wooden rims, and that was the engine running. it's a sensation. and when it revs up, it can hardly iran for all the power. it wraps up and you were just wrong by this engine was good, and then all you can do is make sure you handle it. but if you just let your feelings run free, will things start to happen. it's at 8 years to get brutus up and running him. and lia and other museum association members started work on one of the exhibitions highlights in 1998. they mounted and historical 47 liter aircraft engine on the chassis of a vintage american le phones, motor car from 19 o 7 dan woodward engine was standing there and we thought what would happen if we were to run a mock that? how would that be guilty or not gone broke off the restoration process a couple of times because we were afraid of what the car will do with us ac vendor because the engine walton is going to fly. and we will use your opinion to draw before heading out now why as a whole shoe to the radiator grill for good luck. always turn the open side up. so the luck can pour in. today. it's really reg, without that horseshoe and only i'm not getting into this car. the old old ah, yes, we should have been to the engine. why should we sit inside the engine him with what caused the carcass? hist without a paternally of the engine your heart pass a little calling for concentration and blood as if to say, don't do anything crazy. this car is always trying to kill you odor, but i don't know. that's just how it is on it. now i'll put the decompression lever and we can take off. we couldn't also stop. ah, nobody knows exactly how fast the car can go. not even after 15 years of attempts to set new records that the airfield inspire and a nearby test track are goes faster than you dare to drive it. we had an englishman here was over 70, so he'd already lived his life on the board. he drove 200 kilometers an hour in box or on the boss ground on those narrow tires. no, i kept pulling him back and forth. now me so we're just waiting for someone to say loud. i'll take it as fast as the car can really go to win because it's just a little tricky. if atara blows or the chain briggs, you'd have to know exactly how far to take things. the car has no, lemme often. once a year, brutus fans come from all over europe to spy us southwest, germany for an activity weekend at the technology museum and brutish shows off his strengths to the audience. the monster has attracted over half a 1000000000 follow as well, wide on social media. they're not i, lucia. generally you can say this car is irrational and in figures it's wild. it does. it's untamed lloyd to help people have such norms lies or got a car like this are, that's a little awesome. and norm i was, i pose a fascination for them, a few and i was delighted sometimes ham and lie. i tries to cruise along with brutus through the countryside and especially blocked off roads because the vehicle is not st legal but at the end of the day when he climbs out, he's quite exhausted. ah, oh, skip, are running on empty. you feel a bit like a nurse, a blown out because this roll is rather dangerous. it's very narrow. ok. and the cars always point one way or the other to cynthia and the spark plug. i tend to cut out when you drive slow celts again and then lungs when they fire on the car leaps ahead. no, great. then because danger clearly ah, gave everyone get scared in this car. i'm at some sooner. others later. and then you started on by then you know where you belong, somebody he behaved and go to bed at night and feel unhappy. unfortunately, even a trip in what may well be the world's most dangerous car comes to an end at some point. ah ah, what's up my do? what's welcome to ref. today with the or new all electric power holes from we w the id for d t. volkswagen began tagging it sporty us models as gti back in 1976. since then, the 3 letters have become a motoring icon. the new tag g t, x is supposed to represent the ship to electro mobility. d t x is the all new performance brand by the w. and you can think of it of like the on electric version of the g t i and the id for is the 1st of the id family to get the g t x bench low. we got 2 engines, one in the front, one at the back. 84 normally came with rear wheel drive. this one now is all wheel drive with 299 horse power. 6.2 seconds from 0 to 100 and the top speed is 100. 80 kilometers per hour before we at $160.00 the id for g t x is dual motors, allow for maximum, all wheel drive flexibility, making it a great touring option, a corners confidently. and the lack of a gear system or mechanical link between the axles is a great boost for speed and efficiency. the duel motor power train is fully integrated into the id forest drive management system. could you also controls the brakes and suspension? the control system determines how much torque each electric motor needs to balance efficiency dynamics and ride stability. now what this change with the d t x is the towing capacity of the id for because in the normal version you put on the co op to 1200 kilograms in here with the g t x in how can tow up to 1400 kilograms, which is especially interesting for people that got things like a bolt or a horse, you know, the usual stuff. the id for g t x comes with a $77.00 kilowatt battery. with a w l t p reported range of 480 kilometers. can be w says fast charging at $125.00 kilowatts can add another 300 kilometers in about half an hour as you'd expect. the 4.58 meters long id for g t x as a sporty appearance which has a lot to do with 0.29 drag coefficient. the front air intake has a high gloss, black finish, and the stack of 3 alley d's and the outer intakes give the car a unique look the door, the roof and rear spoiler also come in black. while the new redesigned rear bumper features are diffuser insert in gray, there is no shortage of g t x markings around the body work. and inside the trunk has a volume of up to 1575 leaders. inside the d t x hasn't changed that much compared to the normal id for, but there are some nice details you can spot 1st or 4. this is nice to look at spotty seat, which fits very nice, very comfortable, but still gives you that yes, 40 look. and that was kind of a small critique point in the normal id for the quality overall. it's much better. i mean, you've got nice decorative stitching here, and yet everything fears a lot more high quality than before, which i really like. and you get this nice to look at g t x logo at this theory. the id for g t x has a base price of $50415.00 euros in germany with government eco discount incentives possible. which only leaves one question should you buy the d t x instead of the idea for? well, probably comes down to personal preference or what you prefer, if you are more of a sporty driver that likes performance likes driving can fast then this is definitely your choice. if you are more than economic a driver, well, the id for should give you plenty of power to satisfy your needs. but if you have a boat or horse law, just in general, need to tell a lot of things. then you definitely need the t x to sum up the id for is a pleasure to drive sporty and comfortable and quick when it needs to be the interior and exterior design is easy on the eye. and it's new toe strength is very useful. on the down side, the interface for air conditioning and volume is the same clumsy one as in the gulf 8. so enjoy the ride, and we'll see you next time on rad. ah, [000:00:00;00] with welcome to a check in special from bob in between our
