Mercedes-AMG One

 The Mercedes-AMG One (R50, stylized as ONE) is an upcoming limited-production plug-in hybrid sports car manufactured by Mercedes-AMG, featuring Formula One-derived technology. It was unveiled at the 2017 International Motor Show Germany by Formula One driver Sir Lewis Hamilton and Head of Mercedes-Benz Dieter Zetsche. The production of the car is planned to be 275 units at a price of US$2.72 million per unit, all of which have been already sold.

How powerful is the AMG One? 

Add the motors’ combined efforts to the V6’s 603bhp and you’re looking at 1086bhp total – with an extra 48bhp in overboost mode making for 1134bhp altogether.



Given that the car won’t weigh much more than 1200kg (420kg of that being the four battery packs and the electric motors) it’ll be Quite Quick – 0-62mph should be done and dusted in less than 3sec.

Internal combustion engine

The Mercedes-AMG ONE will utilise a modified 1.6-litre turbocharged 90-degree V6 engine from the Mercedes-AMG F1 W07 F1 car, as confirmed by Mercedes-AMG board member Ola Källenius. Modifications will be done to the engine due to the engine's illegality in RPM idle and redline. The head of Mercedes-AMG, Tobias Moers, states that the engine will be at 1,280 rpm when idle, and at 11,000 rpm when at its redline limit. However, the engine will only last for 50,000 km (31,000 mi) and the owners will have to return their cars for engine refurbishment. The ICE produces 558 kW (759 PS; 748 hp), with torque figures still unknown.

Interior

The interior is mostly minimalist and driver-focused, continuing the Formula One theme of the ONE. This includes a Formula One-style steering wheel and pedals, and a driver-oriented central infotainment screen. There are some traditional luxury features in the interior, notably napa leather and hand stitching on the bucket seats.

Transmission

The transmission will be an 8-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission variant (similar to the type of transmission used in modern Formula One cars), and will deliver the bulk of the engine power and torque to the rear wheels. The use of a single-clutch over a dual-clutch transmission was due to AMG's engineers wanting to keep the car light and due to concerns over the dual-clutch's ability to handle the high-revving V6 ICE.

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 Tata Motors should go for other continents
