The new classes kinship with its predecessor is a mistake a ball in details like the external door hinges but at just over one hundred seven thousand euros the starting price has hardly changed.

They are car testimony live stack is putting a Second Generation lay on cooper are through its paces see as cooper a series has long been a synonym for power sportiness and in chilling. What romney says cooper stands for a cup racing sociedad springing the reste track to the street and now theyre introducing a really fast lee on the one he sitting in a cooper are just seven hundred ninety nine of them will be built all with manual transmission. And we have the exhaust system comes from the goal g. T. I club sport but say its overhauled it he likes the way it sounds. The cooper are doesnt just sound good it also cuts a good figure on the road there are five drive profile modes to choose from ranging from comfort to cooper and the extremely sporty one individual mode lets drivers tailor this set up to their own driving style. Theres a new front he plans to push the cooper are to its limits on this blocked off stretch of road. So during his test drive hes able to use both lanes and doesnt have to worry about running into any other cars or pedestrians. They want to run he says the idea behind the cooper are wasnt to improve performance by increasing engine power and stead say that made the cooper more agile when sporty by developing a new suspension and an additional aerodynamic package comprising lots of carbon fiber components it was developed together with sports car maker koenigsegg. The new way on cooper comes with a four cylinder t. S. A. Engine that generates two hundred twenty eight kilowatts of power as soon as the hot hatch from zero to one hundred Kilometers Per Hour inches five point eight seconds official fuel consumption is seven point three leaders per one hundred kilometers the cooper arc has a top speed of two hundred fifty Kilometers Per Hour and a starting price of just under forty five thousand euros in germany. Event rami says many people asked why the cooper are only has two hundred twenty kilowatts of power just seven more than the regular cooper he says theres any easy explanation for that the seven kilowatt sort of the amount needed to compensate for the cars added weight while maintaining the performance youd expect from a copra. And had to deliver all that power to the road the cooper are comes equipped with a hydraulic and electronics so working differential so if necessary all of the drive torque can be directed in just one front wheel. With all that power around he says the cooper our lives up to its company you can see its relation to the leon cup racing touring car too. Because that cooper are doesnt just have a more powerful engine it also has a race here exterior striking features include the mac grade body paint and lots of copper colored accents and carbon fiber frontal lip spoiler improves head like wow large brembo brakes make it easy to keep the cooper aris power in check. At the rear the exhaust system is integrated into a carbon fiber diffuser as with race cars this helps to improve the models aerodynamics so does the carbon fiber roof spoiler. Vent ronnie thinks the cooper r. Is the right car for image conscious drivers in the market for a wing on cooper but he advises them not to wait too long is just seven hundred ninety nine are available worldwide. Ronnie says that the car sells for under forty five thousand euros in germany but the cooper are comes fully loaded so the list of optional extras is pretty short though this mad great paint cost three thousand euros more i thought. Inside theres plenty of copper detailing. And copper colored stitching on the other cunto are a bucket seats. A number of plaque on the Center Console makes it clear that this is a special edition model. But i bought that rummy says youd think that cooper our would be a radical vehicle with a suspension so stiff it gives you back pain but thats not the case with it in comfort mode and the cooper are glide smoothly over the road and advantage mostly felt in every day driving. A car just to write home guys and over says animals are very popular with car makers are symbols of strength ferraris rearing horse lamborghinis raging bull and jaguars leaping big cat today will see what the jaguar x j can do were testing the british brands of luxury flagship in the our sport very his characteristics are black the details on the grill optional twenty inch wheel rims and strikingly shapes side sills. Side vents and an unobtrusive rear spoiler live round out the jaguar sporty look the cars Dynamic Performance and high quality appearance are in hands by the aluminum construction with its cleaned narrow gap panel alignment.

Steel springs on the front axle a pneumatic suspension in the back are standard in all x. James the adaptive suspension works with a highly sensitive shock absorbers you dont have to choose comfort or sport modes the suspension adjusts constantly and automatically to Road Conditions and your driving style. I know it says the akshay drives quietly and pleasantly with the suspension leds a lateral grooves in the pavement through to directly we calculated average fuel consumption at six point eight leaders of diesel are one hundred kilometers not bad for a one point eight ten vehicle but thats almost a leader more than the manufacture measured for this model impressive is the maximum torque of seven hundred meters eight speed automatic transmission brings this rear wheel drive car from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour in six point two seconds. But i was not a jaguar x j has the external dimensions of a Mercedes Benz s.

The interior boasts explicit material aluminum chrome piano lacquer the Instrument Panel displays fine weather the three spoke leather Steering Wheel underscores the x j sporty unless of course both the front and back seats can be heated and cooled. In a study the interior of the jaguar x j is like sirius is rhinos especially stylish is how the gear selector lever rises automatically when you start the car twelve point three inch t. F. T.

Starting price for the x. J. In germany is eighty three thousand euros but the version were driving cost one hundred thousand. Does a concert this big cab is elegant luxurious and an alternative to the german luxury cars as well as where does it sell best not in germany and not in britain but in china. And for the Chinese Market its also interesting that the extra is available as a chauffeured limousine with a longer wheelbase. Manas to hasnt been this successful in a long time the champneys manufacturer is growing added to digit rate and its all due to this. C. X. Five the compact s. U. V. Was released perfectly timed for the as u. V. Boom and has sold like hotcakes the Second Generation hit the streets in two thousand and sixteen much stuff artist im glad someone says must is approached the Vehicle Development is holistic i calling it Sky Active Technology and they see x five the aim is for the car and driver to coalesce as a unit and. An important aspect of Sky Active Technology is lightweight construction less weight improves not only fuel consumption but also handling characteristics inspired by nature the c x five design has long flowing lines. Exwives exterior with its slender head lamps and protruding radiator grille differ significantly from its predecessors and the competition. Top sundry wonders why with all the effort put into lightweight construction this c x five from hood has to be so heavy. One side under the hood is a special engine as is typical of monster im like this guy active gasoline engines which do without turbo charging the sky active diesel were testing even as two steps of turbo charging the engine produces One Hundred Twenty Nine kilowatts relatively low fuel compression is supposed to reduce fuel consumption in every day driving according to the new European Driving Cycle test it means five point four leaders per one hundred kilometers that two step turbo charging not only affects performance and fuel consumption but it also influences the driving experience there more for him to see its fives engine feels im excited he says on today you might think it had no power but that would be subjective and mistaken what makes performance so smooth is that the two step turbo charging functions very lean early so you get no surprises im very thinks the biggest strength of this engine is its fuel intake especially when you accelerate out of a curve that he feels that works more directly and then with single mode turbo charging. Also above average use the chassis to nick the c x five is soft enough to keep an even road from being a bother but its tight enough to keep from seeming squishy encourages the steering is very precise and gives good feedback good contact with the road is insured. And the easiest but andre says that tiny navigation monitor fails to help him grasp Important Information fast you could say thats what the head up display is for but i was already sitting as low in his seat as he can and has set the head up display projection is far down as he can buy and he still cant really see all the information unless he lowers his head like this one here there is clearly room for improvement but. Andre sums it up. Then the new c x five is better than ever and makes some other s. U. V. S pale in comparison but the desired unity between driver and vehicle doesnt quite come off the infotainment and the head of display need improvement but it leases andriy the driving experience in the c x five is typical of most problem free and relaxing the rules on. Our terms car with all wheel drive in the top equipment package sportsline costs about thirty thousand euros in germany and is definitely an eye catcher on german roads. Today were taking a unique early one nine hundred fifty s. Car for a spin the v. W. Beetle still who picked the v. W. Beetle went into mass production in one nine hundred forty five selling millions a no frills car suited to the bleak postwar period but by one nine hundred forty nine v. W. Began selling a beetle convertible and a better equipped version for export the economic miracle had renewed germans thirst for luxury. Jet but now im a vintage car expert who stuck by hours as wealthy german lawyer brown and i was informed by you know im it was an artsy kind of sore from home a mass produced beetle just wouldnt do it so he designed this wonderful v. W. Stall to pay in one nine hundred fifty one local kohls builder store undertook the customisation based on an export beetle model that theyd vowed to break with uniformity powerless ill save my life. The v. W. Is platform allows for different bodies to be fitted which is ideal for customisation but then boss i know ignored off stress that v. W. Was a car maker not a chassis maker and declared we were. Want to control what the vehicles that vary our name look like. Still v. W. Made only small cosmetic changes to the beetle and even in the one nine hundred seventy s. It continued to fit the bug with more luxury is bodies. So that its like the priest says that underneath the elegant body of his v. W. Beetle stole a hides a pretzel beetle which v. W. Discontinued in one nine hundred fifty three the v. W. Beetle stole who paid it doesnt have its trademark pretzel shaped rear window christophe says instead it has a large rectangular rear window that was likely taken from the then brand new b. M. W. Five zero one christophe says the good view is crucial because its the stall who paid as no side mirrors. Only introduced larger rear windows through its mass production beetles and one nine hundred fifty seven. Gradual improvements made the v. W. Beetle a massive hit and one nine hundred fifty five the car makers some abraded the production of its one millionth beetle by building a luxury beetle coated in gold dust and jewels by this time three Point Housing is unique still to pay that already covered tens of thousands of kilometers. Of a field when the Tourist Office says keeping house and put over four hundred thousand kilometers on his custom built an impressive technical fee for the one nine hundred fifty s. And sixtys and a leap in housing was travelling in a style that is v. W. Slush Leather Seats and door panels were worthy of a rolls royce or a Bentley Christophe knows if either half of it we put housing would likely have wanted to bring along a suitcase or two you know story space is pretty limited news christopher points out a clever folding mechanism you know that money you can for the rear seat bench forward. That creating story space for evening wear or what have you think of it said that volkswagen later but patented this feature. This stone coupe ace front section is identical to the Production Model beetle and staleys headlight covers and folding canvas sunroof were available at the time as optional accessories Everything Else though was custom built. Was high i think as they threw stuff things these indicators on the pillar and the us air vents socalled my rheumatism flaps looks pretty peculiar and by todays standards and zoeth features were installed only in one nine hundred fifty one models story theres still coupe a also has a special silhouette light on with beautiful wheel covers and hes striking natural back. And says christophe here you can tell its all been built by hand with trooping one of a kind. Underneath the hood is the gran
