The Ford GT

All I Can Say That It's My Dream Car. Yes, The Ford GT. The  Ford GT  is a mid-engine two-seater SUPERCAR  manufactured and marketed by American automobile manufacturer Ford. The Ford GT began life as a concept car  designed in anticipation of the automaker's centennial year and as part of its drive to showcase and revive its "heritage" names such as Mustang  and Thunderbird . It All Started In 1964 Henry Ford II had wanted a Ford at Le Mans since the early 1960s. In early 1963, Ford reportedly received word through a European intermediary that Enzo Ferrari  was interested in selling to Ford Motor Company. The Mk.I was the original Ford GT40. Early prototypes were powered by 4.2 L (255 cu in) alloy V8 Engines  and production models were powered by 289 cu(4.7L) engines  as used in the Ford Mustang . Five prototype models were built with roadster  bodywork, including the Ford X-1. Second generation (2017–...

Ferrari Portfino

Ferrari has unveiled the Portofino, the California T’s replacement and entry-level offering, at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. Here is what you need to know, including just how fast it is and what’s new The expression ‘soft Ferrari’ is a bit misleading, but those who buy the California T are really asking for exactly that. Think something fast and desirable, but also moderately practical and comfortable on long journeys. Now that is the job of the Portofino. Named after a village in the Italian Riviera, the Ferrari Portofino can transform from ‘berlinetta coupe’ to drop-top in a matter of seconds, while delivering a V8 bark, supercar pace and rear seats. So what else is worth knowing, you ask? Allow us to elaborate now that almost all details have emerged. 1) Ferrari Portofino: What is it? An affordable Ferrari. Okay so no Ferrari is affordable, but the 2+2 Ferrari Portofino drop-top is an entry-level car that replaces the California T. It was unveiled at the 2...

Lamborghini Urus

Lamborghini is a name that invokes more respect than any other in the entire auto world. Few companies in the world have inched close to the marvels brought out by this Italian super-car maker.                              The manufacturer has left a smouldering trail in the super-car area, with machines such as the Gallardo and the Murcielago that will endure through time. But here we all are, quite awed and curious to hear that the company is tackling an all new area – the SUV front. Unveiled in the Beijing Auto Show way back in 2012, the machine has grabbed attention from the world over. It went into production a year later, and we are now closer than ever to its release. As we flicked through images of the vehicle available on the web, we had to admit it to ourselves and to our readers as well: this company never fails when it comes to we...

Nissan X-Trail

Nissan has showcased the X-Trail at the 2016 Auto Expo. X-Trail was the first Nissan car model to launch in India at 2004.The Production of X-Trail was discontinued in 2014 due to its low demand in the Indian market. The new X-Trail is more of an on-road performer than off-roader. It will feature Nissan's electronic 4WD system that can be operated on the go. It is likely to be powered by Nissan's 2.0-litre DCI engine and also come with a CVT gearbox.  L ike the earlier car, Nissan will bring the new X-Trail as an import and local assembly has been ruled out in the short term. This means, the new SUV is expected to be quite expensive and according to sources, the company is planning to price it in the region of Rs 32-35 lakh. This makes the X-Trail costlier than its immediate rivals, the Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda CR-V, which could make it difficult for Nissan to sell the X-Trail in large numbers.

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...

Audi R8 V10 Plus

The Audi R8 in its latest avatar looks sharper, is quick and loud, handles well and comes with an excellent new gearbox. It’s got all the elements you look for in a no-nonsense, everyday supercar that’s extremely civilised both on and off the track. But Audi wasn’t content with just that, so it has raised the bar further with the launch of a more powerful and lightweight version of the R8, the V10 Plus. The Plus variant you see here may not stand out from the ‘regular’ V10, at first. But a closer inspection reveals all the carbon fibre parts used inside out. Power comes via the Lamborghini-sourced 5.2-litre V10 FSI motor, which now revs all the way up to 8700rpm and churns out max power of 542bhp and 540Nm of torque – that’s 24bhp and 10Nm more than the older V10 variant. And to unleash those horses, we had the entire Buddh International Circuit to ourselves – a perfect setting since this particular Audi is more than a fast, everyday supercar that’s also good on the track. Instead, it...
