New Mercedes-Benz C-class Coupe to debut at Frankfurt

At present, the Mercedes-Benz C-class is available internationally in the four-door sedan and wagon guise. A coupe and convertible variant are expected to join the range soon. In line with the plans, a heavily camouflaged C-class Coupe prototype was recently spotted testing in northern Sweden.
On the outside, the car is expected to carry-over the same front end as the standard C-class but will get a new arched roofline, a sharply raked rear windshield, and a stubby tail with elongated tail-lamps.
On the inside, there isn't much clarity on the details, but the Coupe is expected to feature the same dashboard as the standard car with individual rear seats instead of the bench.


The Coupe will also carry over the engine line-up from the standard C-class sedan and will get AMG treatment in the form of the C63 AMG and C63 AMG S. It will also get a C 450 AMG trim featuring an AMG-tuned 362bhp turbocharged V6, a trim designed to fill the gap between the standard car and the AMG version.
The new C-class Coupe will debut at the Frankfurt motor show this September.

Honda CB Unicorn 160 vs Suzuki Gixxer comparison

There is no replacement for displacement, as goes the old American saying, with which the rest of the world often nods in agreement. Increase in the number of cubic centimeters of fuel that our engines burn, seems only to be a pleasant idea to almost every petrolhead. More power, more torque and a healthier sounding grunt from the exhaust are the common expectations from larger engines. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has walked this same path, to add 10 extra cubic centimeters of capacity to the now proven CB Unicorn engine, to make the Honda CB Unicorn 160. FROLIC FASHION Although some of the features of the older CB Unicorn have been bettered, we’ve gone ahead and pitched it right in at the deep end, to face off against the very best in the segment to find out the exact degree to which this motorcycle has improved. So, in steps the Suzuki Gixxer, a Japanese-made premium commuter that’s fast rising to the top of its segment, with enough promise to overshadow all o...

ABS brakes mandatory for two-wheelers soon

The Government Of India is paying some attention to road safety issues in the country. Keeping road safety in mind, the GOI is working on making the anti-lock braking system mandatory for all two-wheelers above the engine capacity of 125cc. This is a big step forward in the right direction, as over 70 percent of accidents that take place in India involve two-wheelers. Nitin Gadkari, Road Transport Minister has just recently approved this proposal, and is working on implementing it. Gadkari, who was recently present at the Bloomberg TV Autocar India Awards 2015 also talked about his plans of building safer roads for India. This is absolutely necessary, keeping in mind that as per data collected in 2013, 39,353 people were killed on Indian roads while riding two-wheelers. While the time frame for the Indian government to enforce this law remains undecided, sources say that safer roads for India aren't too far away.

Volkswagen T-Cross

Volkswagen’s smallest SUV, the T-Cross, is likely to see a global unveil on October 25, 2018. While details of the European-spec T-Cross were already released, the company has now revealed more information about the slightly longer version that’s aimed initially at emerging markets like Brazil and China, with India likely to see local production a little later. The T-Cross for emerging markets sits on Volkswagen’s slightly tweaked MQB A0 platform and,  as reported by us earlier, it gets a longer wheelbase than its European cousin . The model is 4,199mm long, 1,568mm high and has a 2,651mm long wheelbase. In comparison, the Hyundai Creta is slightly longer, at 4,270mm and higher, at 1,780mm; but it has a slightly shorter wheelbase, at 2,590mm.

The SUV comes with dedicated rear AC vents and dual USB ports for the second row...
