A. Monstrous bush had to speak of middle of the disaster yet scepticism at the seams focus look the sense. That something is all the same. Poses the question why is it that so many cars look so menacing look. Is it real or just a dream the return of a toyota supra. Something maybe were here. This restored skoda unexpectedly caused quite a sensation in long 70 years ago the book but i think i saw more memorable about. It all the more so buckle up and get ready for red. Ever seems to yoda brought out the new supra i knew i wanted to drive it to the beautiful countryside of spain and today he says he but to your supra came out mid 2019 back then with a real big engine 340 horsepower 250 kilo watts that was quite a blast but also quite expensive. But now toyota is ending a smaller engine to leader 4 cylinder 258 horsepower 190 kilowatts and ill check out whether this is as much fun as the big. You can make a dash from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in 5. 2 seconds almost a 2nd slower than the peak supra top speed just like trying to be limited to 250 he doesnt know. As it is usual for cars nowadays the toyota supra be just different driving modes but dont be scared there are only 2 normal and sports just like a trip before a sports car if youre pressed to support. A car yes you can hear gets a little louder the exhaust gets louder it shifts later and it also feeds the little harder and its really its fun driving very nice. Zip through the years of the last bench countryside memory self pastika nations of this remarkable car drift across my mind the 1st 2 from the last actually suprising 978 which was followed by the 2nd generation in 1901. Generation was the 1st one to drop the name chile can become just a supra generation 4 also known as smog 4 followed in 1903 all that time the recipe of success never. A 6 cylinder engine a coupe the look and the who would. Stand that is still true today. As least for the loops because i might be reading. The 2 lead engine im driving only has 4 cylinders but it is just a small flaw on the wife the supervisor reviews the. New entry level version with a secure bank around 48000 use in germany if you really want the burgundy with the big engine its around 61000 you. So what should i say driving the yoda supra is really fun even though it has almost 100 horsepower less its quite a nice ride and it feels sporty enough for a sports guy of course because you said lol close to the road thats really nice thats what you need with a sports guy not like 300 or more horsepower 258 is really enough for that kind of car but the best part about toyota bringing out a new engine a smaller one is the smaller price. To 2 guys see that the car is going. To. Somethings really weird here. And i feel like. It. Was a. Simulation all along. Well. Let me see your car as nice as it gets in the simulation. Looks like my spanish dream will have to wait a little longer but ill never forget the experience i had with the car i am laying the driving pleasure and also the design there is virtually nothing about this car i didnt like some. Of this aggressive its in my nature war bunker if this is from turning real into a black one is more aggressive. All the car in itself is not aggressive or glorified penis. If youve ever thought about the character of your car what you started have and how does it look to others thanks well inform a times cars head its very cool headlights like this which was really really nice but nice was yesterday at least in the car industry so for example what does this car look like. For me actually it has strong lend to it never oh its here you can see i think nose and the big miles well if i would see that in the Rearview Mirror on the highway i would definitely take over to the right so the question is why do so many cars look so aggressive and why does so many people like this aggressive design and what does it mean for our society everywhere i look i see cars from manufacturers with mean looking faces us aware that. Everyone taking a closer look at your car wash. It does look like a bit of a monster which is why i got it redesigned yes it does have an aggressive solution look if i was convicted for me i would never seen your car from the front how would you describe its facial expression in such high. As it yeah it doesnt look very friendly says move over. And a little says look a bit evil its a bit. Different but its inaugurated shade makes it look kind of evil so its all see it. Was all gods looks cute because its so small. And weak place the one behind you. Focus because thats the main thing this model is aggressive is that its in my nature my god i. Decide its a bit like dogs and their owners being a like isnt it so agro is definitely in ask this smart guy hes going to explain to me nearly as a professor and hes an empty arse off several books on car stuff and who evidently likes his lie ins as i try a saturday morning skype call. Typical italian poet who minnelli. Is not there. But we wait. Just a. Minute in modern morning mr so i mean i mean. Lets see what insights he has into aggressive car design how has the design changed over the last 50 years but car used to be the glass house in the seventys and in the eightys designed to strive to at the beautiful they call it green house and nowadays it got back to the middle age past the. War bunker we found an analogy really between this concrete blocks with very theme slits that you could see through it basically shoot if your enemies theyre not. Itll be just like the crowd was shooting that us through all the ways smaller windshields that we ensure that surface has become much smaller compared to the overall surface of the car seen from the front so basically it has the crees the possibility to see was inside and not who was inside as the less chance to see it was outside this maneuver as the social lives the automobile so what kind of car does he drive every day its not the very start the symbolic by the little car. Classic how about that. In the animated movie cars of course i was rooting for our hugh nibley hero. Old school cars to have Something Special like the few at 500. 00 endearingly cant. Do then theres the unique in a sense of see time to see. The end lets not forget that german classic the v. W. Beetle which itself became a hero of the big screen. In the eightys car started to be used as an anonymous form we had weapons in action movies like mad max. So what about this model. So if you have a name ideas drop them in the comments but what does the law for such cars say about i think the grill is got larger headlamps ive also grew a grow in size and because of more freely design combining all this elements in musk id imagine a mask that some cars are wearing now that more looks like the balaclava the terrorist is. What does that mean for our society then we will drive an anti social objects or warp checks as you call them but its not just that big cars for the rich people they were the small cute car for city commuting even those cards now. Now look i mean it as if this was a value i dont know what values that should be if theyre also cited for because its because if you put. These human knights is it really that serious what are the people wrecking cars. As youre seeing there are many aggressive looking cars on the road but for some its not even enough and they turn to the cheering crowd. I dont you know yes oh. Thanks for taking the time for us sure could take a seat his it. Really okey doke. Doesnt it does fit with them and i woman what kind of customized do you get. A look at i think one called all kinds of things and thats and you can tell by looking at people on the thought that you might have a guy covered in tattoos and with a cool haircut. But its more just people who want to splash out on some flashy wheel rims or a new body sticker to set their car apart from their neighbors or stuff like that. And women have their own wishes. And their we offer nonaggressive options someone well certainly think tram. Is the music shoes that cost you must come here to basically make their cars look more powerful or aggressive i guess he was going for laughs and its just saw 95 and not necessarily used to think and so what i think you. Know that. Some people want something planned point some i start not standard issue something a bit crazy but not pretentious see take it what it was. I conceive of and also im cool turning a chrome grill into up. One is more aggressive is not excessively so they do want to stand out without being sleazy. Ok. I got so i was lets take a look from the front its always an age when you do see that aggressive touch. Dot com items will do that because you can touch it it is a gun so for if the hoods were all silver it would be totally normal i own a lot not but this black carbon fiber wedge gives the car a new look. And look at this is really very. Subtle not a shark base or anything like that. So its still ok on the streets. So no extra spoiler here or at the back absolutely not just as we were like we had dress and yes like someone coming in as a wallflower and then looking in the mirror and saying wow i look so different. This is nice styling. So outlandish pimp job seem to be out but some factory mortars are already over the top is the gender of target bias in issue perhaps is this love for aggressive design actually a male thing or do women find it cool to luckily there is a woman who looks at these things from above who. Actually is a philosopher who writes about design and she has her own feminist perspective on the natural weapons and then foul when im done do women have different notions than men when it comes to aggressive design maybe they think it gives them more security on the road with other cars. This is. Them on the faux buses are asking what is aggressive design immediately raises is 30 questions about what constitutes aggression in a cars appearance dozens of not just because. I perceive us out of this im come to my aggressive car design might mean insufficient protection for occupants. Its based on crash tests with only male and no female dummies so without consideration for women and children. About me. Just fine for me that is a very aggressive design regardless of the look of a car so it was it was. Sacked and what does that say about our society why are there so many cars that look like this into. That of having rounder and cuddly of faces out this is not in itself aggressive. When we anthropomorphize cars then they seem aggressive and move on the way we interpret a car depends on our visual perception. I might think wow the driver of that comiskey amazing whatever says or does the im thinking more of what a poser. Never sits and we think those drivers need to compensate for something thats going pens young. What kind of look does your car have from the front she must 1st question from desists. Cheeky ok. Theres a child present but maybe a glorified penis. Oh really and its your car. I least. Listen so. Its fascinating to see how when asked about associations he himself says glorified penis appearance. I dont think that was what he was thinking when he got the cone what color of their eyes those plays identify the car in order you know maybe but i dont think it holds the other thing of course not. Evidently the issue of gender and aggressive design is far from straightforward but what strategies are the car make us themselves persecuting they already developing the cars of the future a future that apparently belongs to the mobility and safe driving. So whats the next step in the evolution of cards. This fancy building behind me is normally a really top secret place to just call the forks bottom Group Future Center youre up one name lets see what they can do in there. And there he is the design boss of the group himself actually his name was always bishop of but now he has a new name so its kind of unspeakable just tell me how do you print. I was doing union name which you took from your wife yeah pretty easy to see all the or ok its easy so when im thinking of the doubt though you are the legendary key for the socalled beetle in english comes to my mind no one goes through so much or so it was kind of cute and has a round shape so how does the future look like. Of course we boot on what we have cold. And were living in the midst of a big transformation towards a new type of mobility new drives new intelligence comes into play and would change the way we move and therefore we hark back to the very same parodic appearance of. Brand and this car of the future this does have a friendly look as a level 5 autonomy as car theres no need for a driver at all so theres no Steering Wheel are there redundant features. If you if you imagine such a car travelling city and vironment and everybody will know ok is this car driving by itself. We seeing that is better to come up with something that is soft and round. Thats pretty smart on the pleco logical front end instead of driving you can sit in the back to have a chance to do some work or even take any. Other use next generation cars are created by a new generation of engineers and designers and they have their own vision of tomorrow. How the part of this show you how it looks like its also like what you as the designer try to bring out in the world and if its a positive design lets think its also maybe harder. More positive but it sounds promising looks like monster cars are headed the way of dinosaurs and some designers and manufacturers seem to be ahead of the pack i think. So the only hope for the future and electric autonomy is driving cars and we will see of the design as well again for a more friendly street scene.

In 950 this go to sports made headlines by qualifying for the mention freedom on 24 hour grace. And to czechoslovakia and teams stunningly held on to 2nd place before an engine failure cut short a genius i know the race. Is good thank you. But if. You want. 70 his own and skoda have 3 stores that legacy for ford and i just bought stock hunts you often stoke the calming lines a mile stone in which you might have designed it to turn them on when if he sees the passion and ingenuity behind the words team back then as nothing short of remarkable. As the heroes of old look at the conditions in the cars they had absolutely basic technology no power steering no safety belts no telemetry or pit radio it was all do it yourself they did the repairs themselves on the truck. After the 2nd world war both eastern and western europe struggled economically and then there was the cold war the fact that a team from communist czechoslovakia was even able to compete in a race in the capitalist west was sensational. And that it was a do or die decision for skoda as we emerged from behind the our in curtain to come to a mall and one of the big. Races on the planet on the other hand it was a pioneering era and they did amazing work. Discovered a live in a 111 and 2 basin and as the team was launched in 949. Was the same but the 2 seater race and now came with an enemy in body and a significant loss in weight. Because ultimately the race addition now weighed 700. 00 kilos including spare parts and tools because. By then by then the long fast bends of them all make any weight advantage crucial for the diving did not make them so that let the car hug the curse box off that and then. And that long lost speed state was rediscovered by skoda engine the m because. It was his own grandfather they just said let me put pasta on the original blueprint. When i found it was unfortunately not the running conditions so we decided it. And how we can looks like. I need to. Pick 3 Colors International colors of tickles thought during that time so in the condition when it started in 24 i was slim on race the beautiful new ball collections of them all stems from being one of the 3 biggest races in the world 24 hours twice around the clock and every big driver needs to have one at least the indy 500. 00 or the Monaco Grand Prix but especially. Dont think of the team work youre not just up for 24 hours just to numb all last almost 48 hours you get up at 7 am on saturday then you drive through the night before the finish and the awards ceremony and suddenly its sunday evening its been almost 48 hours thats. All that together makes them all simply unique. Like. That then the constant 140 Kilometers Per Hour max for hans joachim stoke its still the ultimate ride. But i think not just look at the Steering Wheel. You know exactly what the car is doing you can feel it in your seat the suspension and the transmission hook on a straight toothed on synchronised transmission one thats driving pure and simple. 950. 00 would prove to be scott is fast and to date last appearance at lamont. And it was over what a shame. And all because of this tiny part. Retainer clip from when this breaks it means major damage june 25th 1050 and thats what cost them a top vanish what a shame.
