Worldwide Auto / 2014 Range Rover launched way to India later this year
« on: February 22, 2013, 09:46:31 AM »
British multinational automaker Land Rover has released a new model of it's flagship car Range Rover 2014. A few months earlier we have seen Land Rover successfully launched 2013 model.

From the Sources, we got to know Range Rover 2014 will be powered with  3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine.  The 3.0-liter supercharged V6 comes fitted with a Stop/Start system and produces an output of 335hp (340PS) at 6,500rpm and peak torque of 332lb-ft (450Nm) between 3,500 and 5,000rpm.


Land Rover said this new engine will be offered in "key global markets which favour smaller capacity petrol engines", which sounds kind of strange if you consider that the V6 will be offered in North America but not in the United Kingdom…

The V6 is paired to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission, and according to Land Rover, it accelerates the 2014 Range Rover from naught to 60mph (96km/h) in 7.1 seconds (100km/h in 7.4 seconds), which makes it slightly slower than the outgoing 375hp 5.0-liter V8 model that completes the sprint in 6.5 seconds.

On the other hand, Land Rover says that, with CO2 emissions of 254g/km, the V6 supercharged unit achieves a 15 percent reduction over the 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8. The carmaker has not released any fuel economy numbers yet, but it's safe to say that it will be more economical than the V8 model it replaces.

It is rumored, Range Rover 2014 will soon make it's way to India later this year. However, if they are willing to introduce it in India. It will be a nice call for luxury car lovers.

Worldwide Auto / Honda Gear Concept Picture Gallery and Information
« on: January 19, 2013, 07:34:41 AM »
 Honda provided the world with its first look at the new GEAR Concept Study Model – a vehicle that demonstrates Honda’s innovative approach to providing the automotive answer for young, urban, Gen-Y lifestyles.

Inspired by fixed-gear bicycles, GEAR is a concept that represents an entirely new way of looking at the sub-compact vehicle. It is simple and utilitarian, but also customizable, connected and full of personality.

“Subcompact cars are usually either utilitarian, but uninspiring or they’re fun, zippy cars that are impractical and too expensive for the Gen-Y buyer,” said Dave Marek, Design Director at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. “GEAR Concept tears down those walls – it’s practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable. Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car.”

Bajaj Auto Limited, one of the bigest automobile manufacturer in India has uvneiled it's new plan to introduce   RE60 Four Wheeler. All along, Bajaj Auto’s Managing Director, Rajiv Bajaj, has been maintaining that the RE60 is not a car and is more of a four wheeler.

Bajaj Auto Limited, the market leader in three wheelers has been pinning high hopes on the recently unveiled RE60 Four Wheeler. All along, Bajaj Auto’s Managing Director, Rajiv Bajaj, has been maintaining that the RE60 is not a car and is more of a four wheeler.

The Ministry of Roads has formed a technical committee to examine all aspects including safety norms which would then enable the government to announce a policy. So far, only Europe has a quadricycle segment with the Renault Twizy being one example.

One clear beneficiary of such a policy in India would be Bajaj Auto’s RE60 four-wheeler unveiled at the Auto Expo in January. However, this segment will certainly also interest Piaggio, Mahindra & Mahindra as well as TVS, which was an early proponent, given its potential to be a mass segment.

Interestingly, Tata Motors initially conceived the Nano as a quadricycle but this was met with huge resistance within the industry which stonewalled the formation of a quadricycle category. This led Tata to develop the Nano as a full car. Now, it seems that companies like Bajaj Auto are asking for the same concessions.

Car Maniacs / Shelby Ford Focus ST pictures - photos and details
« on: January 18, 2013, 07:37:59 AM »
Shelby has modified the new Ford Focus ST, creating its first hot hatchback in nearly 30 years.  Unveiled at the 2013 Detroit motor show, it’s somewhat more enticing than the 1986 GLH-S.

The new Shelby Focus ST represents the first car in Carroll Shelby’s “playbook” for the future of the brand. It will be featured with  Ford Racing suspension, Borla catback exhaust, upgraded interior, new wheels and tires. A  choice of three different graphics packages can be expected,  Power – for now – remains unchanged at 252 hp out of the 2.0-liter turbo I-4. Shelby’s currently working on a performance tune for its Focus that will boost power between 30- and 60-hp, while still remaining emissions-legal and running on pump gas. Starting at $14,995 (plus $24,495 for the donor Focus ST), the pocket rocket gets Shelby-spec brakes,

The tuned Focus gets lower, Ford Racing suspension, new wheels and stickier tyres as well as larger, drilled brakes discs and a Shelby/Borla exhaust to boost the ST’s burbling soundtrack. On the outside, there are functioning bonnet vents, tweaked front and rear grilles and a beefier rear spoiler. A host of graphics packs range from traditional Shelby stripes to the chequered flag pattern you see here.

Car Maniacs / Nissan Resonance Concept - Pictures and Details
« on: January 16, 2013, 11:25:35 AM »
Nissan Motor Company Ltd formerly known as Nissan, has finally unveiled the Resonance concept at the Detroit Auto Show. Nissan says the futuristic model will resemble the global styling direction of Nissan crossovers.

The Resonance is powered by a four-wheel-drive hybrid system, which includes a 2.5-litre petrol engine and an electric motor. Nissan hasn’t yet released any performance figures.

The interior is described as a ‘VIP lounge’, complete with welcome lights and high-quality leather seats. "The Resonance interior reflects the enlightened modernity of today's crossover buyer, who values an amazing experience over traditional indulgence,” said Francois Bancon, Nissan’s division general manager, Product Strategy and Planning. Resonance was created by Nissan Design America in San Diego under the direction of Shiro Nakamura, senior vice president and chief creative officer of Nissan.

“When the designers were first working on the Resonance, they were inspired by scientific advancements in technology and material innovations. They also were inspired by the aspirations of those people who embrace innovation. It was about serving those people a concept vehicle that is forward-looking and fuses style with an athletic ride,” explained Francois Bancon, division GM, product strategy and planning.

“Resonance is meant to be provocative, energetic and engaging – even polarising. This design is not meant to appeal to traditional two-box SUV shoppers, but rather to those whose fashion and design choices make a statement. For Nissan, this concept makes our statement about the future of this segment,” Bancon added.
