Electric mobility is important to the company so of course its taking part in the formula an extremely interesting platform. For. In the long term developments in motor sports fuel developments in cars for volume production. Of thirty flees to the mountains explains that the extreme conditions of racing can teach the company a lot about the life cycles of components and about how the battery holds out and about the interplay between engine transmission and battery so the race track is like an Experimental Lab the fillets. Out he gives one hundred percent support to the racing team on sea org an apt founded in two thousand and fourteen. They have him out hes Motorsport Division d. J. Gus calls out hes a tron effies hero for a fantastic vehicle but also you dont see much difference from the outside he says because the chassis and body are the same as audi used in season three but underneath the carbon fiber chassis everything is new the company worked on every system that was open to development especially the motor generator unit and the transmission if you dont want to generate or you want it on the disk if they are there and then the speedster rolls up out he is counting on the abilities or scheffler technologies which produces drive trains. To my settlers paid a good smart says scheffler and the racing team developed a completely new power train with that one speed transmission and soon was completely revise for a greater efficiency he says scheffler is an old hand in its field but still learned a lot this season stilson there was enough room to improve everything including the engines efficiency and dynamics if its instant on me. Under the name out the sport app scheffler the team will start in the new seasons first race on december second in hong kong current World Champion n x formula one driver. Look us degrassi compares the two racing series.

The difference between the cars are much smaller so the races are much more competitive depend its much more dependent on the driver. As last years victor to gussy is the man the other drivers aim to be he views the coming season soberly. If the say boss about to say of course were going to fight thought of was going to war caught but its impossible to say that is the. Audi motorsport manager didnt guys expresses more optimism it was in this is where the ones theyre chasing certainly he says but audi never enters a racing category just to have been there but always to win and this year is no exception he thinks audi has a Good Foundation to build on and strong driver experience so it has good chances for victories next year but there were days i was in excess of them is he going to fall into.

This little deer is the logo of french designer in as they look for a song which she was a model and an inspiration for Karl Lagerfeld and then became a Fashion Designer herself now shes partnered with since wednesday high end sub brand d. S. To create a new look for the d. S. Three. On the outside its identifiable by the red mirrors. The red wheel hub logos and the blue white and red stripe trim and speired by old airmail. Running along the rear windshields bought a match. The opel white roof with a third brake light integrated in the rear spoiler sets a modern contrast to the dark blue body. The flyers can choose between a seventy three kilowatt engine with automatic transmission and ninety six kilowatts with a six speed manual transmission. We tested the stronger gasoline powered engine it pulls the car from zero to one hundred Kilometers Per Hour and eight point nine seconds. To two hundred thirty new meters maximum toward come into play from upwards of one thousand seven hundred fifty revs per minute and give the little diaz plenty of zip. Down whats on the scene as things the ninety six kilowatt engine is ideal for the car even in sixth gear she have enough power in reserve to make driving on the autobahn fun. The designer addition is also available as a convertible soft black fabric top takes the place of the white roof. The special edition is limited to only two hundred cars worldwide that works out to just ten hard top and fifteen convertible versions of the nearly four metre long super mini for the German Market exclusive design as its price our test vehicle cost twenty seven thousand three hundred seventy year olds in germany thats roughly five thousand euros more than the best equipped normal d s three model with an identical motor. The designer has left her signature on the interior as well the granite blue grained Leather Seats pick up on the three color airmail feet. The carpet mats are edged with the same three color coord them. Right red accent seen outside appears again for the entire length of the dashboard. Enos realizes that design doesnt necessarily follow logical rules for instance even if the Center Console is fitted with a touchscreen the menu selections work by pressing buttons down below and not along the sides as we might expect. The buttons for the air conditioning are right where they belong the indicator has a little round screen of its own. The instrument cluster is a bit too conventional for enos is taste shed expected more from a designer car dynamic indicators for example that allow you to choose from a range of designs. Already offer something along those lines and its three thousand a. G. T. Where the driver uses a little ruler on the Steering Wheel to select the style of instrument cluster. But then the d s three has a perfume dispenser and and the lumen a good mirror set in the sun visor. But and it is points out that while car buyers normally pick out their Customization Options from a catalog d. S. Commissions a trendy designer and gives the resulting special edition and attractive name she thinks it goes perfectly with the ss own philosophy. After all since when has positioned in subbranch as a carmaker that highly values exclusive design. Since it was rolled out in two thousand and eleven the v. W. Has developed into a popular companion for the city and the country its compact size and maneuverability are its identifying traits with the natural gas variant of the eco up the mini car shows its thrifty side. They are shaffer says little distinguishes the eco up from its brothers as you notice when driving it has a little less power than the one leader gasoline engine but in daily usage thats not noticeable either its just as maneuverable as the other models too. But goes expecting a great leap forward in sportiness from the ego up wont find it it needs sixteen point three seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour no wonder sense under the hood is only a fifty kilowatt engine that doesnt reach its maximum torque of one hundred meters until a produces three thousand rems. Be up as an environmentally friendly engine for an affordable price of just under thirteen thousand euros in germany and this car the gas pump is the source of joy. Fueling up is childs play the inland pipes for gasoline and natural gas are next to each other. The natural gas tank holds eleven killer. Ramps enough for around three hundred kilometers next to it the ten leader gasoline tank. They will tell us is the eco up has a reserve gasoline tank but its mostly untouched when its colder than ten below zero celsius or the driver had just pumped in natural gas then the gasoline engine will ignite first after a short while the natural gas takes over the only thing the driver notices something cage a needle she has from the gasoline area to the natural gas indicator neither one of the men in the ad got. The eco up as a specially popular in italy in two thousand and sixteen about one third of the up sold had natural gas engines in germany far fewer up strive with natural gas only around three percent weak infrastructure is certainly a reason only nine hundred of germanys fourteen thousand five hundred gas stations sell natural gas. After the face lifted underwent last year the outer appearance of the up has become more individualistic from the bumper through the headlights without leaving daytime running lights to the side mirrors with integrated flashing lights the whole design has been sharpened or redone there are also new exteriors colors contrast the roof colors exterior stickers and colored rims to choose from. A boy here emanuel tells us that even though the natural gas tank is below the trunk it still has lots of space for a city car. The Center Console has an optional smartphone integration. Luggin the device are connected via bluetooth and the host wagon pap turns the smartphone into an infotainment system with a navigation function an onboard computer. The seats with integrated headdress are modern and upbeat to. Him at all says the eco app doesnt claim to be a race car but its great for the environment and your wallet with three hundred miles driving range for about eleven year us most gas and diesel vehicles can hope to compete with that if. You do have to make frequent trips to the recharging station and natural gas isnt available at all service stations in germany its a shame that this environmentally friendly alternative as in getting more attention. This. This is toyotas new crossover as u. V. The c h r with its futuristic look its an instant stand out among the brands generally unspectacular range its available in three versions we took the style selection variant for a spin. Contest im going to him and points out that this model was rolled out from initial design to volume production in less than three years the c h r stands for a coupe a high right or it was slated for release under toyotas north american subbranch cyan but was science demise toyota would have brand new name for a world wide distribution bed fights of a type. When its angular lines and runny front the c. H. R. Undeniably reidy a sheer power in many corners in its silhouette disguise the compact length of four point three meters the fender. Also suit the young design. The backseat door handles are elegantly integrated into the c. Pillar just beneath the roof line. The outward pretreating tail lights lend the car a modern selfconfident appearance. In dutch the c. H. R. Andre says is available in germany with either a one point two later turbo charged four cylinder engine or a hybrid engine for three thousand euros extra a approximately one hundred ten kilowatt two leader engine is only available in the u. S. But andre regrets that neither the american nor the German Market c. H. R. Is equipped with a a really powerful turbo charged engine. Taking ten point nine seconds to accept a rate from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour the toyota c. A. G. R. Isnt as sporty as it looks though sluggish it scores points for low fuel consumption at just six liters per one hundred kilometers its suitable for longer journeys. I dismissed as andrea remark she was astounded by how good the c h rs interior looks are likely lacquered components really make it smart. And thus the vet is kites nouveau and these imitation seamers of course this is a really sewn leather three but it looks really great this all. The only thing he criticizes are the sat nav software and graphics which he thinks look a bit outdated and buy the vote phone im pissed and i get called. Are tesco. Has a heated Steering Wheel. There gauges match the rest of the futuristic interior. The central console is tiny but about the only place to stow things is in the doors it color of the seats matches the dashboard their lower back supports makes them very comfortable. And on a fine of andre says that there are various ways of breaking when approaching a curve or a traffic light its kind of the rest of the extenders if one is to shift down and let the transmission slow the car but that jolts the car making it out of balance and putting wear on the mechanical parts doesnt get off the test make it out or if youre an experienced driver you can double clutch but its not so easy to find the perfect pressure points at the same time on all three pedals book printed sofa designates to your target doc thats why toyota installed the i empty system is a fancy name for an automatic double clutching systems ive when you shift down the car automatically uses targeted fuel burst to adjust the revs between the transmission and the engine so that the car uses the engine braking effect without jerking or wear and tear on the hook and what i mean is the fourth time the demo trouble im stuck on with some kind of. The toyota c. H. R. Went on sale in january twenty seventh teen in germany starting at about twenty two thousand euros. Andre says the c. A. G. R. Is a good car of course but he would have preferred it without the unnecessarily high Ground Clearance and with a bigger sporty or engine he thinks this design would fit a sporty compact whether an s. U. V. Need such an aggressive design one is another question. Im outta here. Next time i drive it a new s. U. V. For mobile we test the grand land x.
