BMW vision

BMW has live debuted the Vision Next 100 on the occasion of the company’s 100th birthday in Geneva.
The concept is said to point to the future of the company, and it certainly looks sleek and futuristic…but is it electric, fuel cell, or old fashion petrol?
Interior OF The Car
The Steering Wheel Of
Vision
From the looks of things (and common sense) we assume the future BMW is powered by electricity, and it is certainly alluded to in the car’s bio, but BMW has certainly gone out of their way to not say specifically – perhaps they aren’t moving as far from traditions of the past as they are representing in this case.
Electric or not,  the car certainly has enough swell new features that we couldn’t help but pass it along regardless…and besides that, we certainly don’t see a place to fill ‘er up with gas.
As for what the Vision Next 100 offers:*- selectable drive modes – human (boost) and autonomous (ease), with the autonomous mode being the most interesting with a retractable steering “wheel”
*- 4 seats, apparently the world doesn’t live or die on the 5th seat in the future.
Rear View
*-  flexible skin sections that shift as the car moves
*-  wheel arches are covered in a copper-like fabric that shift in and out as to improve efficiency
*- full-windshield heads-up display
*- 193 inches long, 54 inches high (5 series sizing basically)



*- “Alive Geometry” – hundreds of molded triangles inside that pop up and turn red to warn the driver of danger
BMW has put together a full microsite on the car if interested, as well as produced a few videos (below) on the concept.

Tata Tiago

April 6,2016: Tata Motors has officially announces the launching of its budget car.   " TIAGO" The Expected price of Tiago is 4 lakhs. The launch of this car will be a great achievement for Tata Motors.It is expected that this car will give a challenge to the cars like Maruti Suzuki Baleno,Renault KWID,Hyundai i10,and Hyundai Eon etc. Stand Out Features 1. 8-speaker sound system developed by Harman. Arguably the best in the segment. 2. Clever smartphone apps developed specifically for the Tiago: Turn by Turn Navigation and the Juke Car apps. 3. Multi-drive modes: the driver can switch between ‘Eco’ and ‘City’ to alter behavior and response of the engine. According to my opinion "Tata Tiago" will gain a great success in India. In my opinion Tata Motors will also launch this car in South Asian countries like Myanmar,Bhutan,Nepal etc.After achieving its desired goals in India and South Asian countries then Tat...

HONDA NSX 2017

The waiting game continues for Honda/Acura’s NSX successor, but now we at least have some official data to chew on as the Japanese automaker has revealed the 2017 model year sports car’s performance figures. The production NSX was revealed back in January at the Detroit Motor Show before the brand announced it would be delayed to go on sale in the spring of next year, instead of the fall. Honda cited engineering difficulties as the cause of the delay, but whenever it does go on sale, it will boast more power than originally anticipated. A mid-mounted 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 will make 500 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, while a rear-mounted electric motor and two front-mounted motors will add a combined 73 hp and 70 lb-ft of torque to the mix. Also out back will be a new dual-clutch nine-speed gearbox. To help with weight balance, the NSX’s battery pack is nestled between the engine and the seats. With a total of 573 hp and 476 lb-ft of torque at its disposal, th...
