2014-03-06
what's up everyone John render from TechnoBuffalo here and we are at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show we're at the Audi booth and I gotta tell you there are more Tron's here than a Saturday morning cartoon behind us is the g-tron if you follow out it you'll know if they're going electric with their each Ron line the G here stands for natural gas so what you're looking at here is obviously an a3 variant it's got 110 horsepower 1.4 liter TFSI engine good for a hundred and forty eight foot pounds of torque so probably think of natural gas a little bit on the crazy side this car is kind of cool it can use natural gas and regular gasoline at the same time it's got 12 less horsepower than the standard 1.4 liter a3 it's gonna leisurely get you up to 60 miles an hour at 11 seconds with 118 miles per hour for a top speed from the look so it looks like a standard eighth usually no way to tell other than of course uses natural gas so it's really part of outies big push to reduce co2 emissions especially in Europe so when you're using an alternative fuel like natural gas that's sort of hard to do the math to see how far you can go so 7.7 pounds of natural gas is gonna get you equivalent of 62 miles that's about a quarter of the two tanks total capacity so if we do the math the arrange on total natural compressed gas is about 230 to 250 ish miles but you can also use gas after that for 560 additional miles but you can go $750 800 miles depending on how you drive really really really crazy long distances here the two tanks are located below the cargo floor supposedly very safe doing something like natural gas of course you have to deal with explosions and compressions naturally been one of the knocks on if you forget that regular gasoline is powered by explosions anyway so it's just another way for a sort of explosion to propel a motor this will be coming to market not sure when not gonna see it probably in the US but it will make its way to European shores and it looks kind of its kind of the best of both worlds you get gas if you want it natural gas and you can find it it can go almost 800 miles of Motoring before you have to worry about refueling hi guys what do you think g-tron would you get a natural gas car if you could as some of you can you fill it somewhere nearby and if you don't use it you know maybe just use gas let's hear your thoughts leave in the comments down below until next time I'm John Reggie from TechnoBuffalo I'll see you next video buh-bye what's up everyone thank you for watching that video if you want to see more the latest and greatest tech news you can subscribe to our main TechnoBuffalo channel by clicking the button right down below in my pants region or click on the buttons to your right to see more videos
