Audi S3

After bringing in the Audi A3 sedan and the A3 cabriolet, the next car from the family to follow will be the hot S3 sports saloon. The Audi S3 will feature a 2.0-litre four-cylinder TFSI engine capable of 300PS power and 380Nm torque, up by 115PS and 130Nm from the most powerful front-wheel-drive Audi A3. The motor comes mated to a six-speed S Tronic transmission delivering power to all four wheels.

Setting the Audi S3 Cabriolet apart from the regular models are aluminium-finish ORVM housings and bi-xenon headlights. Besides it gets a pair of muscular bumpers, a platinum grey finish for the grille, new 19-inch alloys wheels and a 25mm lower sports suspension. The interiors get special treatment as well, with fine Nappa leather and brush metal trim, complete with a sporty flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel, stainless steel pedals, special instrument cluster and an integrated boost gauge for the rev counter. Adding to the exclusivity, the Audi S3 gets the ‘S’ logos embossed onto the leather draped front seats finished with contrasting silver stitches.

Expected Price: Rs 60-65 lakh
Expected Time of Launch: Mid 2015

2018 Lamborghini Urus India review, test drive

             On first introduction, it’s a recipe for intimidation. It’s claimed to be the fastest SUV in the world (0-100kph in 3.6sec and a top speed of 305kph puts it nearly in supercar territory), and it’s made by Lamborghini – creator of some of the most savage vehicles on the market. Things – as with any Lamborghini, for that matter – would be a lot less daunting if we were driving on a smooth European country road, a wide motorway, or even a race track. But today we’re driving the Urus on a narrow  ghat  road, as well as through some heavy Pune traffic. Perhaps the intention was to demonstrate that this is the first Lamborghini ever to go on sale in India that truly works in our conditions – but still, I doubt they accounted for rush hour. It’s requisitely mad to look at, employing as many ‘sporty’ design tropes to an SUV body style as possible – the only thing missing is a massive wing on the back; and somehow, it works. It’s ...

What to avoid during a car service

                   When it comes to getting their cars serviced at authorised outlets, owners usually go the whole hog. They want their cars coming out of service centres looking brand new, and are willing to pay for it. But do service centres take undue advantage of this? Yes, they do. Servicing may involve changing certain parts and oils after a set interval, but service centres will almost always try to plug in a few extras using technical jargon that a layman may not really understand. Certain processes are completely unnecessary, and customers end up paying extra as they are not aware of what's important and what's not. Also, most of the times, the service associate will throw you a hard sales pitch, and it's not always done with your best interests in mind. So what exactly are the things you don’t really need and should avoid?  Engine flushing Flushing an engine simply means cleaning the impure oil and gunk that ...

Honda City facelift India launch on February 14

                       Honda will launch the refreshed City sedan in the Indian market on February 14, 2017. The carmaker has started accepting bookings for the updated sedan with the booking amount set at Rs 21,000.  The Honda City had long been the best seller in the segment, though in recent months the Maruti Ciaz has risen to the challenge, outselling the City in certain months last year. And with rivals such as Skoda having recently given the Rapid a facelift, and Volkswagen’s near constant updates to the Vento, Honda looks to refresh interest in the City with a facelifted model. Here’s what you can expect from the updated Honda City in India. 1. It sports cosmetic changes: The updated City’s front now gets a Civic-like nose and chin, along with a chrome band running across the grille and spilling over the headlights on both sides. The headlights' shape has been mildly tweaked and now houses LED daytime runn...
