See have made its name with sporty economically priced cars from the mid brains down now the spanish car maker is expanding its s. U. V. Family upwards the newest member is named to rocco the first c. On to be built in v. W. As hometown waltz wark its also the biggest city out to date measuring a good four point seventy four meters in length option only available as a seven seater that makes this latest addition an attractive choice as a verse in tile family all rounder. Now see that all card test their closeness with sees the to rocco as the next logical step towards a bigger s. U. V. After the say in a row now and say of a take at its based on a v. W. Is modular transfers and q. B. Platform making it a close cousin of the to go on all space one space. For anyone whos curious close explains where this issue we got its name see outs made a habit of naming. Models after cities in spain this time see it as some one hundred forty thousand people what they call the new model the result was to rocco a kind of a lonely a name for a town a goanna thought i coped with will come down at the start that. It cant even handle country lonely as rugged terrain especially if its the version equipped with all wheel drive where the selector offers additional offroad in snow drive modes hill descent control and a three hundred sixty degree birds eye view camera system to provide added support even if it is designed more for soft surfaces and still does a fine job of handling difficult during. My test closes test car is powered by a two liter Diesel Engine sending one hundred ninety horsepower through a standard d. S. T. Transmission to its all wheel drive closes notice that if he suddenly steps on the gas it takes the car a while to get moving but thats the case with most automatics. And ultimately good table. At market lunch that is to be offered into trim levels style and excellence then to leave your diesels one hundred ninety horsepower translates to one hundred forty kilowatts and hauls the big car from zero to one hundred Kilometers Per Hour in eight seconds. So yeah its new s. U. V. Is set to hit show rooms in feb twenty ninth teen and starting in two thousand and twenty it will be available as a plug in hybrid and in a sporty year f r version as well. In terms of design see that is opening a new chapter with a tire aka the front is defined by a six sided grill with a broad chrome border the grill is so. As trained with a lattice of tiny v. Shaped chrome wing glitz. Its affinity with it to go on all space is most noticeable from the side a window and roof contours and even the dynamic line are nearly identical to that sequence. The ele detail lights are connected by a reflective red bar instead of the almost obligatory continuous light strip. From the moment the driver gets behind the wheel its about ease and comfort as with other members of most wagons family the controls are right where youd expect them and within easy reach. The seats are nice and comfortable the materials give a good impression the workmanship is impeccable. The first one of my close sums up his impression of the sea at arco is a good car he can hardly believe its based version starts at less than thirty thousand euros compared to a fully equipped golf than ten arcos a far better value and has more to offer apparently the combination of german engineering and spanish design works from design. The starting price is almost exactly the same as for the v. W. To go on all space but the buyer gets fifty leavers more cargo space and a better deal with basically quitman along with a bit more personality are other points in its favor compared to the rather functional to go on. A fresh youthful look and makes the kodiak look almost boring its designed to appeal to younger drivers. And russells time opal has gathered a crowd at the center of attention is its new concept car an all electric compact s. U. V. But before we preview opals vision of the future lets take a look back into the past the company manufactured its first automobile an eight hundred ninety nine dubbed the opel path motor car system looks much for opel and mark the beginning of what is now a one hundred twenty year history. Just sixty five of the patent motor cars were produced during its three years on the market where theres three point five horsepower one point five leaders single cylinder rear mounted engine that car could reach a speed of twenty Kilometers Per Hour. Only a few of these patent motor cars still exist today but this four c. There is still fully functional. Concept cars have often played an Important Role in opals history including the cd which dates from one thousand nine hundred sixty nine this two seater coupe a was based on the diplomat v. Eight with a chassis that had been shortened by thirty centimeters to lend the car a streamlined touch the cockpit measured just one meter eleven in height to give aerodynamics a boost the front feature thermo statically controlled radiator grille shutters which narrowed the radiator openings when the car was driven at high speeds. Then as now opal has long put a premium on creativity. The g. T. Actually experimental is its latest vision this compact s. U. V. Concept is intended to set the tone for future Series Production models. Design to feed him anglish says the revamped front end is a highlight called the opal visor it features a single panel housing the badge and other elements like the daytime running lights emphasized the cars lines instead of a traditional radiator grille the panel has a tag that will integrate sensors radar lights and other technical features youll see and a car like this in the future. The rear hinged rear doors are a real like catcher the g. T. Actually experimentalist looking to make a splash with a bold exterior traditional couple lines in the bodywork for example as the hood trunk and doors are reduced to a minimum. And i think of three home anglers says the concept car features what opal calls the pure panel with its h. M. I. Elements in the middle its very pared down all the latest technology and information is at the drivers and the passengers fingertips other elements are quite restraint there are only two additional design features that you rearview cameras integrated on the right and left exterior all other decorative elements are very minimalistic here in the h. M. I. Area the design has opted for a Digital Detox driver and passenger see only what they really need and what they can process within the specific context during highway driving a lot less information is visible in a city where there are more options for absorbing information the h. M. I. Display can include a lot more and right now the side mirrors are active and the cameras are feeding them an image and its all the so i can speak of. It in come to. And. In the exhibition hall its now time to strike or perhaps it might better be called time travel a quick spin through one hundred twenty years of automotive history. The mobility of the past and the future on closer inspection there are some shared elements both cars for example have no exteriors mirrors. Ever had in contest the manual shaffer says sitting in here you get a futuristic feel the Steering Wheel is narrower than normal the window levers and other elements are missing because the emphasis is on design and its quite stylish here in the Center Console the selection lever integrates seamlessly into the design now if he wants to give it a try on the road will be able to count them out of. The all electric concept car is virtually silent as it gathers speak. I find the amount of elements that the feel takes some getting used to but the concept car isnt really about driving feel in performance its about design and thats been done very nicely the exterior mirrors are digital with an image from outside fed into the car with the displays for the sat nav and musiq and so forth are on the panel. At the Steering Wheel has an opel logo on it that remains in the regular horizontal position even when turning design is writ large here and its all rather stylish that. By two thousand and twenty four opel plans to offer an electric version for all its models the g. T. X experimental is powered by a compact fifty kilowatt per our next generation lithium ion battery with inductive charging. That the amount of those verdict this is certainly a stylish right by the time. Goes into Series Production some features will surely fall by the wayside but not too many. Ever since jack warner introduced the x k one twenty in one nine hundred forty eight sports cars have been a fundamental part of the british car makers range in honor of this seventy year history jaguar rolled out the new checkered Flag Limited Edition model based on the jaguar f. Type the dynamic variant is powered by a supercharged four cylinder v. Six engine prices start at just over seventy four thousand euros and germany. Renault has unveiled the easy and electric drive autonomous concept car conceived as a luxury vehicle for short distances.

Bad weather what bad weather this super car by elections can brighten up the gloomiest of days were testing the five hundred two plus two seater luxury coupe a with a rear wheel drive car to start on the left taxis when it has to offer. He says lexus is known for making cars that ride like sofas on wheels theyre comfortable. And eye catching we designed the o. C. Five hundred is a sports that really stands out on the street and is powered by an engine it seems doomed to extinction the v eight its five leader naturally aspirated power plant general. Three hundred fifty one kilowatts of power helen he says you can really let her rip but you dont have to sense this car is a true power cruiser he leaves back and lets set per on the out obama on a where you can always let the viet roar at any time but once and often. Before we look at the engine lets glance at the coo piece exterior here lexus has gone all out the hourglass shape spindle grille and the arrow like the time running lights are lexus trademarks. Another one of the l. C. D. Striking features is the black carbon fiber roof. The rear is also distinctive here the japanese carmaker has dared to try something new and succeeded in making its competitors work Old Fashioned. P. L. C. Looks smart on the inside to it features a virtual cockpit. On either side of the instruments are selectors for the driving mode and various weather conditions including snow. The Center Console features a ten point three inch multimedia display. Driver seating position is quite low as close as possible to the cars center of gravity. Back on the road again ronnie says of you have the chance to drive this car not obama where there is no speed limit then all you need to do is turn the selector to sport plus and step on the gas and the engine roared. And you can see how effortlessly the v. A. Proposed this vehicles nearly two tons thats incredible. You know stuff on its feet the face will go up to. The v. A.

He says you can feel right away that youre in a super car but if you dont one of the eight five hundred is also available as a hybrid with a three point five liter v. Six engine that puts out two hundred sixty four kilowatts fly and thats if you they think of it as the. In the v eight version the l c five hundred has little competition buyers michelle out around one hundred thirty thousand euros for a similarly equipped. With a four leader turbo charged b. H. Its a nice engine but it lacks the character of the lexus is really eight jaguars f. Type are sounds beefier and its five liter v eight puts out three hundred sixty four kilowatts but it only comes with all wheel drive and it lacks the o. C. Five hundred for sedition and control so all in all this lexus is a pretty super super car. The Scottish Highlands provide the perfect backdrop for a ride in a very special antique car. Close to six meters in length a bentley eight leader was the biggest Passenger Car made in britain in its day between one thousand thirty one nine hundred thirty two exactly one hundred of the handcrafted models were produced. As illinois to an army of. Power says that when you hear the name of bentley today you automatically think of fast electricity hands or classy g. T. S. And this bentley eight leaders could be called the forefather of the modern bentleys at the time they sold it as the worlds finest cars the perfect mix of comfortable quiet city car and quick powerful sports cars a crystal feels that when searching for a parking spot six meters is just too big for a city car stopped out of the physical but. From his earlier john twenty four and a half leader christopher knows that big cars are a bentley tradition and the leader also traded on its brand name a relatively new concept at the time. Bats because in the roaring twentys bed lee had become famous for producing street legal race cars by one nine hundred thirty the brand had clocked up five victories in the twenty four hour of them on race. If what if there is stuff tells us that the eight leaders predecessors which have Proven Winners in amman were famous for the roar of their motor sport engines but the eight leaders designer bentley wanted it to be different so his motto was silence is golden and christopher thinks he succeeded because theres a little sound to be heard a bit of engine noise and a bit of wind noise that for a car from the thirtys its very silent. So ill toss it i think a on every side. Along with the purpose built twenty one inch rims and special tires the extremely heavy chassis makes for a smooth and comfortable. Right even without its body the bentley weighs close to one thousand seven hundred kilos. The spot is a christo says that with the body the vehicle weighs at least two and a half tons yes eventually also what it is top speed to be no less than one hundred sixty Kilometers Per Hour so the car needed good brakes which is why all four wheels were fitted with vacuum servo assisted drum brakes Futuristic Technology at the time. To dominate the good side but ill take on that down. In the early one nine hundred thirty s. Bentley was ahead of its time but these days no one would describe this juggernaut of a car as having precision steering or add child handling kristoff finds driving the eight leader a strenuous endeavor. And one nine hundred thirty the motorized chassis alone cost one thousand eight hundred fifteen british pounds thats the equivalent of almost four hundred thousand euros today those who could afford such a luxury usually ordered a chauffeur along with a car. Things about pablo. Theyve got it up and christoph says while driving this car is an experience the real feeling of luxury is found in the back here theres fine leather exotic wood and endless league room hardly surprising in a car thats almost six metres long with the its we think of that and the wheel base is a myth lets measure its one two three four metres we need a modern v. W. Polo could fit in between this is the continental touring saloon the biggest body you could get for the eight leaders want to know until two or three sunderland. Technical highlights include the ribs of the radiator grille which open and close depending on the temperature. Long semi elliptical leaf springs and double acting dampers ensure optimal ride quality. V eight leader bose fabulous design and top quality workmanship right down to the tiniest details. Inside the car has the genteel flair of a british Gentlemans Club its a symphony of wood and leather. No doubt about it the bentley ately there is impressive from any angle. You feel into these and here under the Hood Christophe points out the huge six cylinder engine with eight leaders of cubic capacity and while he says Walter Owen Bentleys philosophy was there is no replacement for displacement so after building engines with three to four point five and six point five liters of q. B. Capacity the eight leader was his crowning glory and co you know they have been through so for it and what will this one here with the id number and why f a five zero zero one was the first eight leader engine bentley ever built or that now it looks pretty Old Fashioned but and its day it was state of the art and the engine came with a five Year Warranty and was seen as relatively Maintenance Free but for the it only needed to be completely taken apart and cleaned after fifteen thousand kilometers complete set leaving one tiny. Special twin carburetors feed the huge straight six engine four valves priscilla under aluminum pistons and a twin spark ignition helped the motor generate an impressive two hundred twenty horsepower. The crankcase and the oil pan are made from electron a magnesium alloy many of the engines Component Parts already have a proven track record and bentleys race cars smoove and reliable the eight leader delivers maximum output at a relaxed thirty three hundred r. P. M. I guess because by christophes impressed with the engines elasticity after starting off in first gear you can shift straight into third or fourth and then in theory accelerate to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour he says you want to change gears as little as possible since the gears arent synchronized so when you shift the gears will rattle guaranteed. So once youve reached the highest gear the bed lee can effortlessly cruise along at high speeds over long distances its the ultimate grand tour. De christo says that the bentley eight leader was probably the best car of its day but unfortunately the stock market had crashed the Great Depression of the one nine hundred thirty s. Also affected bentleys elite clientele but walter zero one bentley refused to acknowledge that he spared no expense in the construction of the eight leaders and drove his company into financial ruin. In one thousand thirty one the insolvent bentley was taken over by rolls royce thereby ridding rolls royce of its toughest and technically superior competitors the eight leader is the last model Walter Owen Bentley ever built and it was the best luxury car of its day so its definitely a milestone in automotive history its based in the senate side they say that if we keep my dollars on the biggest.
