Pratica di Shadowing: New Jaguar Type 01: My HONEST take… - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

Creazione lezione...
1
Just over there is a new Jaguar Type 0 one.
2
I haven't seen it before.
3
Let's check it out.
4
What?
5
Oh, my God.
6
I mean, what a color for start.
7
This is definitely a thing.
8
They've gone all out on this.
9
Whoa.
10
It is huge.
11
Look how huge it is.
12
It's so long.
13
It's very much like the concept, but obviously it's four -door.
14
Let's have a look inside.
15
So they're hoping to sell this for like £120 ,000. And it's got like
16
that luxury vibe on the inside you're going to be a brave person to buy this in red
17
but you know what if i was getting one i would
18
so like it in red this is a statement car massive
19
wheels oh my god look then there's the back come look
20
at the back this is wild this is actually a production car i can't believe it
21
oh there's no rear window why they've done that is
22
that gonna work there's a silver one here does it look
23
better in silver it's definitely got a different vibe in silver it's quite a manly car this.
24
I'm not saying that women won't buy it, but it's a car with balls.
25
It's definitely got balls, big hairy balls.
26
Wow.
27
Do you know the interesting thing about this car?
28
So normally when manufacturers are designing cars, the engineers will say, well, we've got this platform, you're going to build on this platform.
29
And then the designers work around it.
30
With this, the designer said, this is what the car looks like.
31
Now engineers, go make it work.
32
And that's what happens when the designers get to lead a project.
33
It's a statement, Carl.
34
There is no two ways about it.
35
Whether you hate it or love it, it makes a statement.
36
Now, I need to go find out about it so I can tell you more detail rather than just me going, I'll be back soon.
37
The Jaguar Type 0 1 has been made on an all -new platform.
38
That means they couldn't save cash by using bits from the Jaguar Land Rover parts bin, and they couldn't partner with another OEM either,
39
a bit like what BMW and Toyota did to develop the Z4 and the Supra.
40
That makes the Type 0 1 a huge financial risk, but it might just pay off because this car looks totally unique.
41
Well, so long as you haven't seen a Rolls -Royce Spectre.
42
Looking at the front of this car, you might think, oh my gosh, that is not very aerodynamic, is it?
43
But actually it is.
44
The designers were able to keep the look of their car
45
and still deliver a car with a drag coefficient of just 0 .23 cd, which is pretty much identical to the new AMG GT four -door.
46
You'll notice it's got these four lights there.
47
One, two, three, four, and that's like a signature look for the car.
48
You've got the lines going across the grille, which obviously isn't a grille because it's an EV.
49
In the centre of it, of course, is Jaguar's new written logo, where it goes capital, small, capital, small, small, small.
50
It's odd, but it looks kind of cool.
51
Now here we have some active air vents.
52
These vents here, they cool the powertrain, so the battery when it's charging or when you put your foot down, it needs cooling down.
53
Then there's these vents here which open when you need the brakes cooling.
54
So it's all functional, yet it keeps closed for maximum efficiency when you're cruising.
55
Then there's the bonnet.
56
When you look at the bonnet, it is massive, and it's a big slab of bonnet.
57
There's no creases or anything in the top of it, just this line across the front, and that gives this car that mad look that it just has when you...
58
It blows your mind.
59
Anyway, the sort of indentations here are similar to on a Jaguar XJS.
60
Look, see what I mean?
61
If I own this car, I would be a bit concerned about cleaning that.
62
They might have to sell a special brush to get in there.
63
What is going on under this bonnet?
64
You can imagine that there'd be like a big V12, but no, it's electric.
65
You've got one electric motor at the front and two at the rear, but more on that in a bit.
66
One of the most dramatic things about this car is the length.
67
So it's 1, 2, 3, 4.
68
It's 5 .2 meters long.
69
That's as long as a long wheelbase XJ.
70
This is a GT car.
71
We'll see how much space there is on the inside in a moment.
72
You've got 23 -inch alloy wheels.
73
That's a standard.
74
You can actually get 21s optionally if you want them, if you need a little bit more sidewall on your tyre, but a standard 23 inches.
75
Now, this is interesting.
76
The roofline is 1 .4 metres at its highest point, which is pretty low.
77
In fact, if you were to stack another one of these wheels on top of itself, it would be above the roofline.
78
There's another dimension which Jaguar likes to talk about.
79
It's called the luxury gap, and it's basically the car equivalent of a thigh gap the
80
bigger the better it's a distance between where your feet would be
81
if you're in the driver's seat and the center of the wheel
82
and it gives this like long proportion there
83
which just makes it look expensive obviously we've got poppy outie door handles there
84
and we've got quite a narrow glass area which tapers away
85
if you look at the strong shoulder line here
86
and then this sort of ledge over the rear haunches it's perfect for leaning on and going, look at my Jaguar.
87
But how does my Jaguar compare to its competitors?
88
Well, only the gigantic Rolls -Royce Spectre and Cadillac Celestique are longer than this Type 0 -1.
89
But as I like to tell the messes, size isn't everything, because this new Jaguar has something that none of these other premium EVs can match, a very weird backside.
90
The rear for me is the craziest bit of this car.
91
I've not seen a road car that's anything like this, with the lights that just go right across the back.
92
I mean, other cars do have that, but not in the same way with all these lines.
93
Once again, it can be hard to clean.
94
I suppose you've got people cleaning your car for you haven't
95
you that's their problem i think not having a rear window
96
will pose a bit of a problem i've driven a whole star
97
that has a similar setup it means
98
that you have to have this camera here
99
which is obviously going to be the feed for a screen
100
which will give you your rear view
101
but i would rather have just a glass area there we'll probably find out why they've done
102
that when we get inside it now this is a spoiler
103
so it pops up when you're going quicker
104
and it can provide up to 75 kilos of downforce
105
and we've already talked about drag and efficiency and airflow
106
but there's something really interesting about this car
107
if you get the front right when you're designing it
108
that is the thing that matters most to the aerodynamics
109
but also what happens at the rear is important as well
110
because you want a bluff finish for the air to just
111
fly off in fact the way the air exits the back of the car creates a positive pressure
112
so you get four kilograms not lot, four kilograms of pressure pushing the car forwards, which helps counteract the drag from the rest of the car.
113
Not many other cars have that.
114
Reducing drag helps boost top speed, and more importantly, it improves the car's range.
115
And that brings me on to the battery, because the Type 0 1 has a colossal 118 kilowatt hours of usable capacity.
116
That's bigger than all its key competitors and 40 % larger than the one in the old Jaguar I -Pace.
117
This means the Type 0 1's claimed range is up to 450 miles
118
and Jag says it will manage 320 miles at motorway speeds.
119
It also runs off an 850 volt electrical system
120
so you can charge at up to 350 kilowatts on a DC charger
121
and that'll add 200 miles of range in just 13 minutes.
122
But that's not all, around 170 cells are located under the floor
123
and back seats but Jaguar fitted 32 more ahead of the bulkhead, a bit like where an engine would normally go.
124
This gives the car the perfect 50 -50 weight distribution.
125
Also those 32 cells add an extra 150 horsepower and 70 miles of range.
126
However, this battery layout does also affect what the car is like to sit in.
127
So the inside of this car definitely matches the exterior because it just feels futuristic.
128
You also got those lines here on the dash which match with those on the bonnet and oh my gosh, the view of the bonnet from here.
129
The end of the car is so far away from you.
130
I'm sat in the middle of it here in the front seats.
131
You definitely have this this sort of very sporty feeling to
132
it the seats are actually mounted in a gap in the batteries
133
which are below you in the floor
134
and it allows the seat to be lower
135
but your feet are higher up it's quite unusual actually the
136
steering wheel super modern we've got some touch controls on it
137
single panel not the biggest fan of those they've gone for a totally minimalist interior with everything through screens
138
and touch sensitive buttons apart from for the windows
139
and stuff visually it works whether it works in reality
140
when you're driving it we'll find out you've got your gear selector here
141
and then your lights and windscreen wipers
142
that reminds me of Audi's new system I can't actually run
143
through the menus on the infotainment system they're not operational on this car
144
but you have your climate controls through here through the central panel
145
but everything else is through this digital driver's display
146
which is touch sensitive
147
which is quite unusual storage wise I mean yeah you have
148
there's a glove box how do you open it I don't
149
know I've seen one open on another car you've got this central spine here
150
which makes the car feel very sporty you sit quite a distance from the front passenger
151
because the car's
152
so wide i mean it's over 2 .2 meters wide including
153
mirrors the storage under here what can i open it yeah there look you got cup holders
154
and you got more storage in here this is obviously a pre -production car
155
and we'll look in the back in a moment you've got decent sized door bins the materials are interesting
156
so obviously you can get leather if you want
157
but this is a man -made material fake leather
158
and then you've got like cloth here it works it's nice in the headrest you've got speakers in fact
159
that is a sang bar so that's where most of the speakers for the car are
160
because they're not in the doors they want to have the speakers higher up
161
so you hear them better this is innovative this guy really
162
is there's more storage down here you've got your wireless charging usb ports what is a bit concerning
163
if you're tall i'm not sure you might struggle obviously every
164
car gets a glass roof it doesn't have a blind in
165
it you have like special shading built into it press a button
166
and it like blanks out I thought this car would have a heads -up display
167
but it doesn't and unfortunately it's not on I can't show you
168
that is actually the rear view mirror
169
and the idea is there's your door mirrors which thankfully they're not digital
170
but you can scan across there then scan across there that's the idea
171
and it's right in your eyeline
172
and an advantage of not having a rear view mirror hanging down there is
173
that if you had one you wouldn't be able to see it in the center of the windscreen
174
so sort of getting why they haven't given it a back window
175
that they could have done speaking of which should we jump in the back
176
and see what that's like i mean this car is long
177
surely it's really spacious back there okay considering this car is
178
so long it doesn't got the biggest back doors
179
but then apparently there'll be another car on this platform
180
which will be larger and more practical
181
but for a driver focused car it's all right like knee
182
room's all right foot space is okay your knees are still
183
quite high you don't actually have batteries is underneath the footwell
184
here they're underneath the seat we could have been like that
185
but it's not so that's quite a good design obviously the spine runs to the middle
186
so it's a strict two seater here in the back and then what's what's under here let's find out
187
little infotainment screen there more cup holders
188
and then what we've got here some of this one just more storage headroom in the back I think
189
if you're really tall you might struggle
190
but the luxury vibe just it's the same in the back
191
as in the front like oh look we've got this brass
192
effect here i think those might be speakers the general feel is nice the back windows are quite small though
193
and what surprises me is that in the front you've got acoustic glass
194
but here you haven't they don't want to have done
195
that hmm no tesa with its model 3 they have acoustic glass even on the back
196
but generally it's pretty comfy i mean it could be more
197
practical it could be considering the length of the car
198
but that's not what they're aiming for here they're aiming for a halo product
199
which is more about the driver having fun
200
and occasionally they need to take someone in the back they can do
201
but if it's a gt car you've got to have adequate space for luggage i mean
202
that is a prerequisite so let's check out the boot if i press on this button i can open the boot
203
all right okay so um it's a hatchback but
204
it's not the most practical this boot is quite shallow apparently there's 450 liters of space back here
205
because underneath here look there's some extra storage can't really show
206
you in there this is a laptop powering things this is a um pre -production car obviously
207
but it does have that expensive car vibe look there's the brass element
208
that goes all the way from the front way back here is
209
that gonna be enough space i don't know there's only one way to find out
210
and that's for jagger to lend it me
211
and for me to go on a big road trip in it
212
so i think we need to arrange that but why is the boot
213
so shallow well it's down to the motors as well as
214
a front axle motor there are two at the rear just
215
like in a tesla model s plaid however this new jag
216
is even more powerful than the tesla combined you get 1030 horsepower
217
and 1365 newton meters of torque
218
and it'll do 0 to 60 miles an hour in 3 .2 seconds quick
219
but not tesla model s plan quick but there's a reason why first
220
and foremost the type zero one is a gt car
221
so mid -range punch is just as important as a quick launch
222
and it'll also accelerate from 60 to around 110 miles per hour in four seconds flat and that bit is actually bonkers,
223
especially when you consider this thing weighs 2 .7 tonnes.
224
And here's how the Jag's weight compares to its key competitors.
225
It's no surprise then that Jaguars fitted the Type -01 with two -stage air suspension and adaptive dampers, because it's supposed to be a driver's car after all, albeit a quite heavy one.
226
What's also interesting is the distance between this part of the wing and the top of the bonnet.
227
It's only 133 millimetres.
228
That's not a lot.
229
That means there's not much travel for the suspension
230
so Jaguar had this option what they could do is actually raise the bonnet up by about
231
that much but then the car won't look so cool
232
or they just do things traditionally and just have less suspension travel
233
but then the ride would be too harsh so they actually came up with a really clever solution.
234
When a wheel moves up and the suspension compresses all the uprights arms
235
and linkages need somewhere to go but the metal castings
236
that attach them to the car can sort of get in the way
237
so Jaguar designed a special elliptical hole in the chassis casting that makes extra room for all the moving unsprung parts.
238
This meant they could keep a super low bonnet without sacrificing wheel travel, which should improve the ride comfort.
239
In fact, the Type 01 has 10 centimetres less space under the bonnet than an F -Type, but somehow or other two centimetres more suspension travel, that is clever.
240
Another interesting feature is this whole section is just one panel, which is crazy when you consider at the surface forming of it.
241
Now, normally when engineers are making a body panel of a car, it takes about four weeks to design it, then press it and get it all right.
242
This took 22 weeks.
243
What actually happened was the designers designed it, showed it to the engineers.
244
The engineers went, oh, wait a minute, that's impossible.
245
And the designer said, we don't care.
246
We're in charge.
247
Go make it happen.
248
And they made it happen.
249
And that's why they call it the impossible panel.
250
Although obviously it's not totally impossible.
251
And this isn't the first time something like this has happened in Jaguar's history.
252
Flashback to 1931, where William Lyons, who co -founded the company, signed off on the radical new SS1 coupe.
253
However, his engineers were worried that no one would actually fit inside, but they didn't dare say anything to the big boss.
254
That was until Lyons got appendicitis and he disappeared for a few months off sick.
255
Immediately, they jacked up the roof to make the car more practical, but screwed with the proportions and created this monstrosity.
256
When he returned from his sickbed, Lyons was so angry that he ordered the team to go back to the original design
257
which they did and doesn't it look far better as a result
258
but this whole process wasn't easy nor cheap
259
and it's exactly what jaguar wanted to avoid with the new type zero one design first then engineering afterwards
260
so then what's my final verdict on the new Jaguar Type Zero One.
261
Well, it's definitely got a wow factor, but will it be a sales success and be enough to save Jaguar?
262
Well, I need a bit of time to think about that one.
263
So, what do I think about it?
264
Well, so when I started as a motoring journalist, the thing that gave me the biggest buzz
265
when I thought I've made it as a motoring journalist wasn't when I first drove a Porsche, a Ferrari, a BMW or anything like that.
266
It was when I first got behind the wheel of a Jaguar.
267
That's because I'm from the Midlands
268
when i was growing up the coolest cars in the world were jaguars
269
and they were built near where i lived
270
so i've got a soft spot for jags i want the
271
company to succeed will this car do it for them well
272
you know what i think this it's got this wow factor
273
when you first see it i think initial sales will be strong
274
but it could end up a little bit like the cyber truck where it's kind of like a novelty car
275
and i know they've got another car in the pipeline based
276
on the same platform obviously it's gonna be some form of suv
277
and they need that one to come through very soon because people are more likely to buy an SUV than this big,
278
strange, long coupe -ish mad thing that the Type 0 1 is.
279
I think the Type 0 1 could bridge the gap and save the company.
280
But it will be the next car that comes through that really allows it to flourish.
281
And it could be like it was in the 60s and 70s.
282
You had the E -Type, the sporty version, and then you had the XJ for the more luxurious family -orientated car.
283
It's going to be interesting to see what happens.
284
Now that is my opinion, but what do you think?
285
Will the Type 0 1 save Jaguar?
286
I want you to vote by replying to our pinned comment.
287
Yes, it will save them, or no, it won't.
288
In the meantime, if you want to see the car that I think the Type 0 1 is most like, click on that video window there to watch my review of the Rolls -Royce Spectre.
289
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
