Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class isn’t really a sports car, but its incredibly beautiful two door coupe body and stance makes it as desirable as anything else on this list. Expect the coupe to be available with only the 500-spec V8 engine with the AMG following later in the year.

Expected Price: Rs 1.5 crore

Expected Time of Launch: Mid 2015

Replacing the CL-coupe, the S-class Coupé is 5,027mm long, 1,899mm wide with a height of 1,411mm and wheelbase of 2,945 mm. It has narrow rear windows that flow into a set of narrow rear arches. The LED tail-lights are wrapped around the boot and wings of the car. The S-class Coupé gets the same 3D pin grille, and a large badge that is flaunted by the A-Class models. A standard panoramic glass roof covers two-thirds of the entire roof, and can dim at the push of a button with magic sky control technology, which the car comes equipped with.

The interior of the S-class Coupé maintains many of the same design elements and features of the S-class Sedan. The S-class Coupé gets a three-spoke steering wheel with a large centre. The new car gets two LCD screens, which stretches across the dashboard, and displays infotainment and navigation along with instrument panels and electronic gauges. Customers can opt for a seat comfort package, where the front seats feature the energising massage function based on the hot-stone principal.

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 ...

Rolls Royce Cullinan SUV in the works

Rolls Royce has released the first pictures of its Cullinan SUV prototype. The company has said that only the length of the prototype gives clues about the production. The entire car is an engineering mock-up to test the new all-wheel drive transmission and suspension. The prototype, based on a shortened Phantom II, is set for road testing from the second week of April. The company has said that it would “assist Rolls Royce engineers in developing a final suspension system that will deliver the brand's hallmark 'magic carpet' ride not only on the road, but off-road too”. Rolls Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Ötvös had, some time back, confirmed to our sister publication Autocar UK, that the company was developing an all-new four-wheel drive high-bodied Rolls Royce. He had, however, avoided using the word ‘SUV’. The new Rolls Royce is expected to shatter existing price and size ceilings for a SUV, but as per the brand's design boss Giles Taylor, the SUV will be po...
