A stinger g t. P a introduced in stein nam a collection rescored sedan the stinger in two thousand and seventeen designed in germany the fast track offers lots of equipment for a relatively low price today were testing the latest sporty g. T. Version its three point three liter turbo charged me six engine puts on two hundred sixty nine kilowatts and eight speed automatic transmission helps to deliver all that power in an optimal way so the g. T. Isnt true gran turismo theyre not on our Current System much as current says that when you think of gruntal you smoke i might think of. When its bella mach you know from the one nine hundred fifty s. And sixtys with their elongated hoods short angled rear ends and their lovely proportions which called out to you get in and well get right down to business but now with a stinger korean. Carmaker kiya has created a car that makes some of those over to tell you models look downright Old Fashioned like buying a bus. Again but please. List. At the front this stinger has the key is trademarked tiger nose grille though here the nose is especially white and flat and features large air intakes and striking l. C. D. Headlights the car is a stately four point eighty three metres long and just one point four metres high this side profile is stylish with a coupe a leg sloping roof line that flows into the tailgate. And divided taillights with their distinctive l e v halo design come a standard. Best figure g. T. Is key as quickest and most powerful Series Production model the dual twin exhaust in the black diffusers provide a visual indication of the cars sporty pedigree. And that look continues inside as well the sport Steering Wheel comes with integrated panel shifters. The black and white leather upholstery is complemented by aluminum interior accents. Drivers can also connect their cell phones to the eight inch touchscreen and sat nav. By fofa mata says that when it comes to driving performance the stinger g. T. Is very well tempered character when hes not using the sport plus mode or deactivating the e. S. P. And the car glides nicely through curves thanks to its all wheel drive even and wet or wintry weather he thinks thats pretty good and when youre going a little faster which could easily be the case in a car like this this is special needs to play along and it does not at all what does taught us but hes a volatile. V six twenty generates two hundred sixty nine kilowatts of power that can propel the sport sedan from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour in five point five seconds time speed is two hundred seventy kilometers an hour faster than many other manufacturers allow. That to be at stake marcus says you might be thinking that nobody needs such a huge three six but hes not so certain about that one things for sure its not environmentally friendly but he says he a desert offered two alternatives namely a coup leader gasoline engine and a two point two leader diesel a two liter Gasoline Model only comes with a rear wheel drive while the diesel is available with a rear wheel drive and all wheel drive naturally these engine versions cost less and then you also lose some of the features that come with a v six though you can then order those three or four things as extras your point doesnt that simple. And germany prices for the sting your start in just under forty five thousand euros so this g. T. Version will set you back at least eleven thousand euros more. For the extra cash you give big nineteen inch wheels and brembo brakes which help to rein in the g. T. S. Power. What is that limit on the football field with a price tag of around fifty five thousand euros in germany. Says the stinger g. T. Isnt a car for bargain hunters but for your money you get a car with lots of equipment. Lots of power under the hood. And through this combination of lots of driving pleasure. And due to the all wheel drive which comes as standard with this engine it also offers lots of Driver Safety ill come off in a few files if its. With a stinger g. T. Is showing up its sporty side. The audi. Concept car gives us a preview of the german auto makers third full week electric model the ford or coupe a is based on a flat for architecture meaning it has a low center of gravity its equipped with two electric motors one fitted to the front axle and the other at the rear. Four hundred thirty four kilowatts of power and comes with a new look as audis head of design explains the fame that its nice to notice mark least this is the single frame here is not an area to take its more of a visual signal that audi has basically inverted the fog its painted in the body color so the surround is now in dark so the audi signature is clear but everyone can see right away its a fully electric model is. That its not just the color at the front thats new. I mean this is audi began on the a seven dividing the headlights and the horizontal segments this was then copied by others so audi introduced the vertical struts and now this one even has three dimensional segments where he really likes is the white almost looks like a lightning bolt a good symbol for electro mobility. Electromagnetism. Its a theme reflected not only in the headlights of the lightning bolt can also be found in the profile view of. Them and their commissions the shape of the rear fenders and shoulders also takes up the theme says this was the next step an audi is designed language you can see its much more sculpted and muscular that makes a difference but. The rear also features a striking light strip and a spoiler to underscore the cars dynamic presence. Sounds like a public park least it feels the slimline cabin with the wide wheel base makes the car sexy and thats underscored by the light strip which just like the headlights at the front features three dimensional vertical segments he says you can see how the three d. Design creates a wider more dynamic look what i did notice on the should it not its not. That its not just about the look the designers were also keen to maximize the aerodynamics to increase the electric cars range in addition to the specially engineered wheel rams and air outlet on the wheel arc is also designed to reduce drag. The size of all diffuser at the rear is also very much a practical feature but looks good too with the illuminated logo reducing air resistance also brings other advantages as audis head of Exterior Design explains it will of course its all about aero acoustics he says because an electric motor makes virtually no sound if the driver can hear other things that were never audible before so audi as worked to make the car extremely quiet all around. Audis head of interior design says the cabin of the eternal g. T. Takes its cues from another audi sports car. But the cockpit character is reminiscent of the r eight he says he asked why they are it is closed in here theres a through. Horizontal element that gives a sense of grip and space and this vehicle the control screen is completely integrated into the surrounding architecture and he calls it a tech layer when its wet stuff its basically invisible. Out he says the interior uses only v good materials there are no animal based products here at all whether its the ceiling the trim or the Steering Wheel. And the floor mats are made of reclaimed fishing nets. Out he says the concept car has a range of around four hundred kilometers according to the new w. L. Keep the standard the car maker has worked hard to keep Battery Charging times to a minimum of fifty friends g ts project manager says the eight hundred volt battery system allows up to three hundred fifty kilowatt fast charging so you can charge the battery in just under twenty minutes. And he says the car also has an intelligent cooling strategy designed to chill the components that are likely to heat up most this means the car offers a very High Performance that is also repeatable so its not just the acceleration from eighty to one hundred twenty kilometers an hour or from zero to one hundred the driver can fully utilize the cars acceleration repeatedly in succession its so. The g. T. Also offers wireless induction charging this requires having a charging pad permanently installed in the floor of the cars parking lot out he says the concept car is almost ready to go into serious production. Product marketing she says the eternal g. T. Will be sold globally that audi is particularly focused on the north American Market as electric vehicles are really booming there china will be another focus. But customers will have to be patient for another two years. Is due to go on sale at the start of twenty twenty one. B. M. W. Has unveiled its seventh generation three series in contrast to its predecessor the model now has a larger grille and has grown in length and width but the proportions have remained the same it said to appear in showrooms in march prices for the new three series are expected to start at around thirty four thousand euros in germany. Planned rover is set to release its all new next generation range rover evoque a new plug in hybrid version will be offered it will feature a one point five liter gasoline engine with an output of one hundred forty seven kilowatts and an even kilowatt electric motor and germany the base model will be available from thirty seven thousand three hundred fifty year of those. Test are by no dice and over says some germans find the v. W. To go on is almost too small so volkswagen has another compact s. U. V. Thats even bigger that to go on all space and with its enormous amount of room its almost a competitor to the tour ake. V. W. May have expanded. Range of compact s. U. V. S in two thousand and eighteen but the to go on has remained a constant its been around since two thousand and seven but the extra length of a new generation all space now makes it possible to add a third row of seats. But to go on all space is four point seven meters long and that means more space no matter whether you decide for or against the additional seats. Thats quite know it says the to go on all spaces twenty two centimeters longer than the normal to go and that makes it as big as the skoda kodiak wheel base or the space between the two axles has increased by eleven centimeters which passengers in the rear will notice. B. W. Offers three equipment lines for the to go on all space prices in germany started around thirty one thousand euros for the basic Gasoline Model but we are testing the upper end of the range the diesel with seven speed dual clutch transmission all wheel drive and the top trim level highline. But i was not right no says you can recognize that to go on all space from the outside by the wider window between the sea and the pillars inside the backseat can be moved back and forth or folded down at the back theres room for a third row seats or more luggage and trunk volume has grown by one hundred fifteen leaders. Our model costs at least forty four thousand euros in germany have third row seats is available for an extra seven hundred fifty euros. With design packages and a choice of drive trains an Optional Technology and to go on all space can be configured for sportiness or off road competence our model. All wheel drive and one hundred ten kilowatt diesel delivers a maximum torque of three hundred forty newton meters at one thousand seven hundred fifty rpm perfect for leaving paved roads behind. The right hold sums up the to go on all space by saying it writes well and is a smart choice because its cheaper than the tour reagan roomier than its competitors and ordering the third seat row means having to choose between having space for seven people or for a lot of work age but not both if you get pick. A. Gasoline engine electric motor or both together the three ways hybrid car puts out power hyundai hasnt changed that and yet the japanese are taking a new path with the c. R. V. While the more powerful electric motor provides the propulsion that two leader four cylinder engine serves as a pure supplier of power and most driving situations honda promises fuel savings of twenty to thirty percent compared to a conventional engine. And most inner city driving situations the c. R. V. Automatically switches between hybrid and electric drive for optimum efficiency. Or thats got content three manual shaver says this all happens while youre driving sometimes you hear the engine a little but mostly you dont hear or notice anything the display at the front shows you which mode is currently active which direction the energy is flowing and so on that he thinks its a good solution here but one of the why dont the fault. In the apply found a technical consultant could combo yamamotos. Says hybrid drive was already included in the planning and development stages of the poll from the start the whole platform was designed so that a hybrid system could be integrated in the future so that was the case from the very beginning from that all from the five. The new c. R. V. Is barely any bigger than its predecessor its only fifteen millimeters longer even so its wheel base is four centimeters longer and the Ground Clearance is now thirty eight millimeters greater. Looking inside the Navigation System isnt exactly state of the art but the s. U. V. Offers plenty of space especially in the trunk. The honda is a very comfortable cruiser thats thanks not only to the well matched drive train and steering the noise and so asian also promises relaxed driving over longer distances. I listen i would be money well feels all in all the c. R. V. Hybrid is a success thats especially thanks to the hybrid drive system which appears very reliable in our test and delivered average fuel consumption of just over six liters per one hundred kilometers pretty good for a car of this size. The reason is actually quite simple a hybrid vehicle consumes less fuel because it can cover many routes purely electrically or with electrical assistance less fuel means fewer emissions so both the environment and your pocketbook benefit from the hybrid drive. Today are classic car expert Christoph Bower is taking an unusual american car out for a spin the Chevrolet Corvette months despite or. Most american cars it was. Era boasted oversized bodies and a big engine up front ideally a v eight but not the corvair. Infinity christo says in the one nine hundred fifty sales of european cars rose massively in the us especially those of the v. W. Beetle it was the polar opposite of the kinds of vehicles american manufacturers had in their portfolios at the time suddenly its design and technology was considered modern progressive even hip but the american response to this demand was soon to arrive it came in one nine hundred fifty nine and was called the chevrolet corvair call that. By american standards the corvair was a compact even though at almost four point six meters its longer than memory sadies pantani and its six cylinder boxer engine with close to one hundred horsepower didnt while power hungry american drivers that much either but they were impressed by where the engine was located the chevy corvair was the only american car of its day powered by a rear engine. Christo says this exotic looking car was surprisingly successful more than two hundred fifty thousand rolled off the Assembly Lines in the first year alone and things got even better when chevy introduced the mons option with a floor shift bucket seats and larger hub caps and a bit more chrome it was named after the italian racing circuit for i mamma mckim classified nominate the stance taken. Soon chevrolet was selling more modern size then standard models the only thing missing was a stronger engine but not for long as christophe explains so much that so nine hundred sixty two chevrolet presented and the dish and all option the spider and it was truly sensational the first Series Production car to feature a turbo charged engine its one hundred fifty horsepower. Proposed the car from zero to one hundred kilometers an hour and ten point three seconds with a top speed of one hundred sixty five kilometers an hour the turbo boost that is only really effective and a relatively small range between three thousand and three thousand eight hundred r. P. M. But then it really kicks in to make sure drivers could master and keep an eye on this Innovative Technology the dashboard features what christa figures is likely the first one to move pressure indicator and automotive history though it tops out at zero point seven bar which he finds touching. Six. As a needle and full of thanks but it wasnt just the core of his technology that set new standards so did its designed this accept line which wraps around the entire body came to be known as the corvair line this design feature was later adopted by european manufacturers like that b. M. W. The corvair is designed as a pleasant contrast to the american cars of the late one nine hundred fifty s. With their huge tailfins and radiator grills its clear lines in purest design prove that sometimes less really gives more this month might even. Those chevy corvair was also versatile in addition to the schick who pay the corvair was also available as a four door sedan a convertible a Station Wagon a pickup and even a van known as the core van but chevrolet offered the turbo engine exclusively in the coupe a and convertible versions. Of. The monza spyder came with five round gauges in a brushed Aluminum Instrument Panel and as stick shift only giving it the feel of a true Blue American sports car. But as i can because but chris dodd says the monster spiders real highlight lies here under the hood its two point seven leader turbo. Extensional the first Series Production turbo an automotive history to paddle wheels rotate inside this casings youre driven by the exhaust and then press the air and gas mixture into the Combustion Chamber and this engine delivers have to seventy more horsepower than the normally aspirated one and all for a bargain price of this and its dave the spider package crushed just two hundred ninety six dollars extra it looks great unfortunately it doesnt always work so well and it took porsche and saddams out to finally tame the turbo and if the cost of. The core appears engine transmission and drive gears are wrapped in one compact package the uni pack powered teen though this construction doesnt exactly inspire confidence. Still is Turbo Technology boosted the
