Audi to bring S range to India soon
Audi, a German automobile
manufacturing company is planning to launch the S range of performance vehicles
in India
shortly. Leading the pack will be the S6 and S4 sedans. The S range is a good stratum
between the RS range and the company’s stock cars, which provides the automaker
a benefit as AMG for M division and Mercedes Benz vehicles for BMW are hardcore.
Motivation for the S4 will come
from a 3.0 litre V6 supercharged engine, which will be good for pulsating 328
horsepower. It will be equipped with the company’s Quattro four wheel drive
system that sends power to all the four wheels. Equipped with wider rubber and
bigger 18-inch wheels, the S4 offers slightly stiffened and lowered suspension
for nimble handling. Visually though, you will find quite a few cosmetic
differences between the two.
A number of S vehicles from most
of the company’s mainstream model ranges have been designed and developed over
the years. These vehicles are decipherable by vertical emphasis lines on front
grilles and S badges. The S vehicles of the company come with the automaker’s
trademark Quattro all wheel drive system. More powerful yet larger brakes, distinctive
internal combustion powerplants, additional exterior body styling, carbon fiber
interior trims and stiffer suspension systems set it apart from its related cousins
of their respective model range.

2012 Polo-R Cup Car, Drivers Revealed
After Polo R Cup’s 2 successful
seasons in India, Volkswagen
is ready to commence its 3rd season of one-make championship that’s
scheduled to be flagged off at Kari Motor Speedway track on 7th July
2012 in Coimbatore.
The Polo R Cup’s 3rd season will be seeing couple of changes; the major
of those will be the use of TSI (Turbocharged Stratified injection) petrol power plants
in Polo race car. Motivation for the petrol engine model comes from a 1.4 liter Turbocharged
Stratified Injection engine, which is good for pulsating 179PS of power at 6200rpm
with 250 newton meters of torque at 2000-4500rpm. Albeit the torque on new cup
car will be the same like its predecessor, power has been increased up by 50PS
and will be weighing nearly 20 kilograms lesser as compared to the previous
model.
The Polo R cup car’s engine is
mated to the DSG transmission instead of old manual gearbox that’s a smart move
from German automaker bearing in mind that most global level sedan car races
also host shift paddles. The company also announced its lineup of twenty young
drivers, which will be competing in Polo R Cup 2012, including 2011 Endurance
Touring Car and 24 Hours of Mexico Mexican champion Diego Duez. For setting a
benchmark for all divers and for making the title fight more challenging, in
2012, Volkswagen has slotted the series under 3 segments – Pro, Master and
Junior.
Prize money for podium finishers
will be Rs. 40,000, Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 50,000 for second, third and first place
respectively. Besides 1st 2 rounds of Polo R Cup 2012, drivers will compete
for the title on MMRT track in Chennai, and 1 round of season will be hosted at
the Buddh International Circuit, venue of Grand Prix of India.

Updated SsangYong Rexton coming soon
These are the
first official pictures of what the upgraded Rexton sport utility vehicle will
look like. As seen from the pics, its front gains all-new headlights, LED foglamps
and LED surrounds that look like as if inspired from the ones found on recent Mercedes
cars and a detailed re-style. You will also find a much wider and new chrome lined
grille that looks almost Nissan-ish, and houses a large SsangYong emblem at the center. The front bumper is much more aggressive and new unlike its predecessor.
The all-new SsangYong Rexton sports utility vehicle comes with wing mirrors that
feature turn signal indicators and BMW-like wheel arch inserts.
The Z-shaped trademark
c-pillar of SsangYong Rexton SUV remains
and rear styling gains minor sheet metal enhancements. The taillamps are mildly
redesigned and now gain new inserts with LED bulbs. Expect the cockpits to
receive a thorough update with enhanced plastics and lighter shades. Motivation
for the Rexton will come from a 2.7 litre inline 5-cylinder Mercedes-sourced
Double Overhead Camshaft powerplant, which is good for pulsating 165 horsepower.
The upgraded Rexton will be revealed at the forthcoming Busan Auto show in Korea.
SsangYong Rexton
sport utility vehicle provides a unique alternative to the present stable of sport
utility vehicles’ offered in the country. More a statement of authority unlike anything
else, thanks to its distinctive hood character lines, impressive SsangYong
trademark grille, the clean power of 3rd generation direct injection
turbodiesel power plants and projection headlamps, it is no wonder Rexton
demands respect. Add levels of safety and luxury appointments you would
typically expect to find in a luxury sedan instead of a sport utility vehicle,
and you have an exciting package which exceeds all your expectations.
The
seven-passenger luxury sport utility vehicle is offered in both luxurious
leather and deluxe cloth trim. It is designed and engineered for those wanting
more for less. With its ultra-light frame featuring triple layer construction
to disperse and absorb impacts and shocks, this means longer durability and less
vibration during normal operation.

BMW X8, X7 and CS II: Rumormill
Recently, we reported in
a fair bit of detail about the forthcoming Q Series of vehicles from
Audi. Founded luxury marques are all set for fighting a new conflict
in the luxury class, which comes not from the enemy within by also
from their competition. Over the last couple of months, we have seen
elite sport utility vehicles from luxury brands, including Bentley,
URUS Concept of Lamborghini and Mercedes Benz GL-Klasse and the
all-new Range Rover. You will see a Rolls Royce sport utility
vehicle, which the sportier X7 fills that performance focused sports
activity vehicle role superior unlike the RR.
BMW 7er XLi :
The BMW 7er XLi will be
using an idea of its predecessor; the E38 however is specifically
targeted at China. It could also follow 5erLi and 3erLi and be
designed and developed in mainland China.
BMW X7 :
The BMW X7 is very much
progressing ahead even further unlike the 2 original incarnations.
The current Lamborghini and Bentley concepts were no fluke and in
spite of the appearance, they point to a new class, something the
present Range Rover investigated to a surprise success. Given the
Rolls Royce brand’s delicate history, both Rolls Royce’s CEO and
BMW CEO aren’t convinced that the sport utility vehicle should be
added to RR marque.
The X7’s concept is not
new at BMW, both were virtually conceived under the current E70 and
previous E53 X5 as potential ideas integrating the previous BMW
vision for Range Rover – unsurpassed space and luxury even with V12
powerplant. Few designs equal the vehicle with more progressively
sloping roofline that improves its luxury credentials together with a
more luxury inspired cockpit. Given the significance of a sport
utility vehicle within any class, by 2017 the company’s series line
will be containing an SAV/SAC model. With lower designated SAC
vehicles providing the choice of 5dr and 3dr. These models are
extremely profitable to the automaker both in the future and the
present.
BMW X8 :
The BMW X8 will perhaps
follow the same philosophy like the upcoming X4 and X6 by being based
on the equivalent model. Given X6’s success, the X8 is definitely
an interesting proposition, nevertheless this vehicle could in fact
be redesigned within BMW i marque as BMW i6 that’s experiencing
conception in Munich. i6 is effectively a Sports Activity Coupe using
BMWi design philosophy that in some cases, it can be mistaken for a
detail enhanced and raised i8.
