TVS Jive : Price, Review And Specification


TVS's Jive is a fusion of the Star's chassis, albeit with some modifications and the 110cc powerplant. Even more rocking is the introduction of the Tmatic system - a double clutch unit derived from TVS Indonesia. So when you start the Jive and engage first gear or any gear for that matter there is no clutch lever to pull. After tapping into gear you just need to accelerate to get going.

It all works surprisingly well and without any fuss whatsoever. Thanks to the double-clutch system you can come to a stop in any gear without stalling the engine. The special gearbox uses the normal multiplate clutch as in normal motorcycles along with a second clutch, before the final drive; much like a CVT in scooters this clutch disengages the drive when the rpms drop low and allows the engine to idle without stalling. TVS claims fuel efficiency of just under 60kmpl and a power output of 8.5bhp.

Engine TypeAir Cooled, 4 Stroke Single Cylinder
Displacement109.70 CC
Maximum Power6.18 KW @ 7500 rpm rpm
Maxiumum Torque8.3 @ 5500 rpm
Bore And Stroke53.5 x 48.8
StartTypeElectric Start / Kick Start
FuelTank Capacity 15.0 litre

The Jive is priced at Rs 41, 000(ex-showroom, all India) and is available in showrooms now.

Volkswagen Beetle : Launches in India on December


The original Volkswagen Beetle, which is also popularly called as the “Bug”, has emerged into a new model, with distinct features of its own. German automaker Volkswagen introduced its first model into the market in the year of 1938, while the latest model was brought out in the year 1998. The new model differs from the earlier ones in having its engine in the front and the luggage storage in the rear part of the car. Now, very soon, Indians are also going to experience the fun of riding this sport car.
Volkswagen is likely to announce the launch of Beetle in India, in the beginning of December 2009. However, unlike what is being believed, the veteran car company does not have any plans to compete with the Indian toy car, Nano; as the Beetle will be priced 15 times more, due to the high duty imposed on imported cars. Moreover, the vintage car will provide a speed limit as high as 180 km/hr, whereas the Nano can only touch up to 103 km/hr. Beetle has a conventional front engine.

Volkswagen Beetle Launch Date:- Volkswagen announced that they are going to launch Volkswagen Beetle in Indian market on 4th of this December.
Volkswagen Beetle price is expected to fall in the range of Rs 18 to 20 lacs

2009 VW Beetle Specifications:-

Renault-Nissan, Bajaj to launch low cost car in 2012




Promising to deliver a small car that will be the cheapest in India in terms of running costs, auto maker Renault-Nissan combine today said they along with Bajaj Auto have finalised an ultra low cost product that will hit the market by 2012.

It's been a while since we've heard an update on the car coming from the joint venture of Renault-Nissan and Indian manufacturer Bajaj, a competitor to the Tata Nano. Carlos Ghosn, Renault-Nissan's CEO, fills us in with a statement that the ULC (Ultra Low Car) project is alive and well. What news do we learn? First, the 2011 release date has been pushed back to 2012. Second, the car is going to cost $3,000 (compared to the Nano's base price of around $2,000) and will still be available in a version that gets 70 mpg. According to Ghosn, the car will be designed, developed and produced by Bajaj, while Renault-Nissan will provide sales and marketing. We surmise that an export model, with either Nissan or Renault (or maybe Dacia) badges, is more than a possibility.

New Honda CBF Stunner Fi






Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) made a national launch of Honda CBF Stunner Fi in the Indian market with not much fanfare. The aim of the launch of the new CBK Stunner by the company is to bolster the Japanese company sales in the two-wheeler segment and Honda targets almost 12 per cent increase from its last year figure of 10.7 lakh units of two-wheelers in India.

Additionally, Honda management says that the new CBF Stunner PGM-Fi will be instrumental in achieving the aforesaid target of the company. However, the target customers for this new sporty and stylish Honda CBF Stunner Fi 125cc bike will be youth in the age group of 18-24.

The CBF Stunner PGM-Fi sports bike is an upgraded version of Honda’s 125cc stunner. Honda‘s new Stunner is equipped with what is called as PGM-Fi (Programmed Fuel Injection) technology, an upgrade over its predecessor Honda CBF Stunner. The innovation improves fuel efficiency whilst giving enhanced performance. The new CBF Stunner PGM Fi will hit the road in sparkling colors of red, yellow and black in a weeks’ time; by June first week.


The new 125 cc CBF stunner is powered with a 4-stroke, air-cooled self-starting engine. It would generate a power of 11.6 bhp @8000 rpm. The mileage is expected to be around 65kmpl, although it sounds over optimistic, even if it is around 50 kmpl its good enough. Sources from Honda claim that from standstill position, the bike can touch a speed of 60kmph in 5.2 seconds. The kerb weight of the bike is 129kg and the fuel capacity is 10 liters with 2 liters in reserve.

Smoothness, reliability, upright ergonomics and pleasure of riding all comes as a package from the new Honda stunner at premium price of Rs. 64,630 (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the basic version. The New CBF Stunner will be available in three variants. With the punch line Absolute Sensation Reprogrammed, the new Stunner Fi is expected to entice the young bike enthusiasts.

TVS Taurus Fiero F3 About to hit the Roads Soon.



TVS has come up with another fire competition with Bajaj’s 250cc Pulsar. The result is this awesome and macho looking Fiero F3 codename Taurus

The 250cc Engine (Again single cylinder though) is what powers it. The main attraction is disc brake for the real wheel as well…. cool (Pulsar 250cc is being outdated there even before the launch!!). Price…….. Little costly compared to Pulsar 250cc… It could come somewhere around 1.30 L. Hope this bike captures the Indian roads soon. Just had a glance of few snaps of Taurus… Looks really sturdy.This is the first kind of bike in India that has disc brakes in rear wheel. More technical details about the bike is still private or unavailable.

Bajaj Kawasaki Ninja 250R:Features and Specification


Bajaj has launched the European model Kawasaki Ninja 250R in India to compete with Yamaha R 15 and Honda Karizma ZMR. Bajaj will import the Ninja 250R in CKD (Complete Knock Down) to avoid heavy charges of import and thereby make it affordable in the Indian market. CKD is a complete kit needed to assemble the bike. Ninja 250R spares will be imported directly from Japan and Thailand. This bike will be available in Bajaj probiking showrooms and they plan to sell around 1000 units of Ninja 250R with the opening of new 30 probiking showrooms. The Pro-Biking showrooms will offer complete three S's - Sales, Service and Spares. With the huge ex-showroom price capped on the bike, it is highly possible for the buyers to opt for other bikes such as Pulsar 220, Karizma ZMR or YZF- R 15.

Features:-

- A twin-cylinder liquid cooled & fuel injected motor

- 4-valves per cylinder actuated by twin overhead camshafts

- 33PS at 11,000rpm

- 22Nm at 8200rpm

- A six-speed gearbox

- 172kg all up kerb weight

- Tubeless tyres

- Disc brakes front & rear

- Kawasaki patented Uni-Trak rear suspension

Bajaj Auto has been highly secretive about the bike's pricing and it is very difficult right now to quote the correct pricing. However, since it is a CKD import, the duties slapped on the Kawasaki will be lesser in comparison to duties levied on direct a CBU import - which means that the Ninja won't be exorbitantly priced for India.

2010 LINCOLN MKZ:Features and Speciifcation Review

MUCH OF the Lexus ES's sales success(64,000 sold in 2008 versus 30,000 for the Lincoln MKZ) can be attributed to a tranquil driving experience—its smooth ride, coddling accoutrements, and pin-drop-quiet cabin. According to Lincoln, though, the significantly freshened 2010 MKZ betters the ES in those lespecvs and, at $34,965 to start, does so for S180 less.
To improve ride and handling,Lincoln retimed the springs and dampers, tweaked the reat-suspension geometry, and,for enthusiasts, added a sport package that includes firmer springs, larger anti-roll bars, andI8-inch alloys. New variable-assist power steering system and largerbrakes round out the chassis upgrades, while a revised AWD system remains an $1890 option.
Lincoln's signature split-wing grille highlights the list of exterior mods, among which are fresh sheet metal for the A-pillar, aredesigned decklid, and larger LED tail lamps.

Lincoln massaged the' 3.5-liter,263-horseV-6, recalibrating the ECU and incorpotati ng new induction. Asa result, the engine note is deeper and more euphonious, and the O-10-6O time is said to be quicker, dtopping about a half-second.

Infiniti G37 convertible:Features and Speciifcation Review

IT used to be that Japanese car companies were just copy machines: They seldom came up with anything original, preferring to replicate (whiie refining) someone else's idea. That hasn't been the case for decades, but there's no doubt that Infiniti keeps a close eye on what BMW does. If a sporty,well-appointed, front-engine, rear- drive, retractable-hardtop coupe with a lusty six-cylinder engine is good for BMW, it must be good for Infiniti.Turns out it is. The G37 Convertible is only the second drop-top in the brand's history. No mere chop-job this, as the body panels and chassis components aft of the A-pillar are new for this application. The top IS buiit by Germany's Karmann, an outfit known for this kind of thing. Its opening-and-closingact takes about 30 seconds either way. The strange proportions common to this type of car don't afflict the G; it's nicely balanced from any angie. Infiniti offers an optional wind blocker that reduces buffeting and noise level is substantially. Hidden rollover-protection bars; snap into position with the onset of impending doom. Bose provides the convert-spec audio system, incluiding speakers in the headrests and speed sensitive volume control. It sounds good but lacks some of the adjustability and imaging of otherhigh-end units.Most relraclables eat trunk space, and this one is no exception:Top down, you're left with just 2.0 cubic feet of cargo space, so pack light.Another downer is th.at all structural enhancements necessary to minimize body wiggle, plus the top's hairdware,add 450 pounds of chunk over the coupe.

AUDI E-TRON : A high-performance sports car with a purely electric drive system


Audi presents the highlight of the IAA 2009: the e-tron, a high-performance sports car with a purely electric drive system. Four motors – two each at the front and rear axles – drive the wheels, making the concept car a true quattro. Producing 230 kW (313 hp) and 4,500 Nm (3,319.03 lb-ft) of torque, the two-seater accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 – 62.14 mph) in 4.8 seconds, and from 60 to 120 km/h (37.28 – 74.56 mph) in 4.1 seconds. The lithium-ion battery provides a truly useable energy content of 42.4 kilowatt hours to enable a range of approximately 248 kilometers.

The most important development related to batteries for electric drives are lithium-ion cells. Numerous experts throughout the world are working on their further development for use in cars, with the primary objectives being to reduce weight and increase capacity and performance. Audi has also opted for this technology, both for use in a hybrid production vehicle, such as the upcoming Q5 hybrid, and in the e-tron test platform.

The requirement specification for the concept vehicle goes far beyond battery technology and the replacement of the combustion engine with an electric drive system, however. The Audi development engineers decided back in the concept phase to design practically every component and technology based on the new requirements of electric mobility. The interaction of all elements has a decisive influence on the factors efficiency, range and practicality.

New Hero Honda Karizma ZMR launched!






Hero Honda has launched the revamped version of its performance motorcycle, the Karizma ZMR. Introduced at a price of Rs 91,000 ex-showroom Delhi, the new bike will go up against the likes of other performance bikes in the Indian market such as the Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi and the Yamaha YZF-R15.

Hero Honda has ensured that the new bike is not just a cosmetic upgrade, but the changes in the exteriors and the design are major and will establish the Karizma ZMR as an all-new bike. The ZMR now features a full fairing that clads the entire engine to pronounce the big-bike feel. Redesigned rear quarter panels and an all new LED taillamp round up the design changes on the new bike.

The engine sees a mild power upgrade from 16.8PS to 17.6PS, but now features fuel-injection that replaces the carburetor. Taking a cue from its competitors, the new bike has also been fitted with an oil-cooler, which should take some of the heat off the completely clad yet air-cooled engine.

On the features front, the new bike sports clip-on handlebars and an all-new digital speedo-tacho unit. The bike seems well kitted for its price, but the competition seems to have a headstart in terms of technology and outright performance. We should be getting our test bike soon, so watch out for a complete road test with performance figures real soon on ZigWheels.com!

Hyundai genesis coupe 2.0t track



WITH REGARD to the all-new Hyundai Genesis Coupe, the 3.8Track has thus far received the lion's share of attention. Zero to 60 in 5.5 seconds, quarter mile in 14.0 at 101.0 mph, 60 to 0 braking in 111 feet, and lateral acceleration of 0.91 g can do that. Of course, all the greatness that is the 306-horse 3.8Track comes at a price—$30,250, to be specific. But what if most that greatness came for about three grand less? Well, say hello to the 2.0TTrack.

As its badge suggests, the 2.0T Track receives a 2.0-liter, 210-horsepower, 223-pound-foot turbocharged four mated to a six-speed manual (base and premium 2.0Ts can be had with a five-speed automatic). Further, unlike most turbo engines, the Hyundai's runs on 87-octane and posts frugal fuel economy of 21/30 city/highway mpg. At the test track, the 2.0T consumed 60 in 6.8 seconds and the quarter in 15.2 at 90.3 mph. But, as with the 3.8 Track, whose ECU cull power at redline in apparent engine-preservation mode, the 2.0T suffered from some oddities of its own—namely, hanging revs— that seem to exist on purpose.

While the 2.0T's times are nothing to be particularly ashamed of, they're also nothing to write home about—all eight sport-compacts in our"5>mall, Fast, Fun" test (May) put up better times. Nonetheless, the 2.0TTrack is a highly capable sports car, posting 0.91 g on the skidpad and erasing 60 in only 113 feet. Even though its numbers aren't superior to those of the 3.8, the 2.0T feels a smidge more responsive and a bit more fun to hustle than the V-6, thanks in part to a 91-pound-lighter curb weight.

At 527,500, th e 2.0T Track costs $4750 more than a base 2.0T, but that premium incorporates the limited-slip, Brembos, and 19s, not to mention Infinity audio, sunroof, rear spoiler, and Xenons. Sure, the hanging revs and somewhat sluggish accel times are concerns, but what Hyundai can't fix, thetuners most likely can. A little light on promise but heavy on potential, the 2.0TTrack can only get better, ron kiino

Bentley continental gtc speed



BENTLEY'S 2010 Continental GTC Speed belongs to that rare class of vehicles to which the standard array of automotive superlatives simply does not apply. After all, how can one adequately convey the sensation of accelerating a 5500-pound, leather-clad convertible from rest to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds? Of hitting 195 mph with the top down. Of returning to a standstill via the world's largest production automobile brakes—eight-piston calipers and 16.5-inch carbon-ceramic discs? .
Though essentially a performance variant of the Continental GTC convertible, the Speed is not some stripped-down racer. Sure it has drilled aluminum pedals, but there's no stereo delete option here. Bentley went the other direction and serves up an 1100-watt Nairn audio system—the most powerful available in any production car. The knurled-chrome and leather-paneled gearshift lever of the six-speed ZF transmission further indicate a focus on fine motoring as well as high performance. So do the turned aluminum fascias and use of 12 quilted cowhides to line the sumptuous four-passenger cocoon.
Set atop exclusive 20-inch wheels and 275/35 Pirelli PZeros, the Speed just manages to outsleek the GTC. Some clientele might find it too understated. "Speed" appears only on the doorsills while other signs of the beast—the crackle-black-finished intake manifold, dark-tinted front grille, larger-diameter tailpipes, and rear spoiler—are deviously subtle. Such subtlety evaporates at full throttle. By incorporating new pistons, lighter con rods, and a new crankcase design, Crewe engineers were able to coax 9-percent more horses and 15-percent more torque from the 6.0-liter, twin-turbo W-12: engine while reducing carbon dioxide output by 3.5 percent.This brings output to 600 horses and 553 pound-feet of torque, nearly as breathtaking as the burly wuffle of the tuned exhaust.

With communicative steering and four-way-adjustable air suspension, this all-wheel-drive heavyweight ducks and weaves like the World's Greatest. Even when driven hard, understeer has been suppressed; it surfaces only in moments of extreme driver foolishness before being quashed by the deftly tuned ESP.

2010 AUDI A5/S5 CABRIOLET




The 2010 AUDI A5/S5 CABRIOLET softtop results in a genuine Cabriolet facade, making the AS/ S5 Cabs instantly recognizeable as convertibles, not coupe wannabes when the rain clouds open up. Plus, the softtop boasts Audi's Acoustic Roof technology, which features 0.6-inch-thick sound-deadening foam that creates a serene, coupelike ambiance.
Moreover, the cloth top that opens in 15 seconds and closes in 17 (BMW's power hardtop on the 3 Series needs 22 to open and 23 to close) allowed Audi to reduce weight and optimize cargo capacity, which, at 113 cubic feet with the top down, is 3.9 more than that of the 3 Series.The 50/50-split back seat folds forward, swelling capacity to 26.5 cubic feet. For cold-weather, open-roof motoring, the
Cabs offer a neck-warming, head-level heating system that uses a three-level-adjustable fan to send hot air through a vent on the top side of the seatback. Even niftier, the Audi's softtop can be operated at speeds of up to 31 mph.

Of the four variants coming stateside, the 211-horse 2.0T quattro strikes us as the consummate all-around option, its all-wheel drive remedying the base front-drive 2.0T's compromised traction in the wet and moderate torque steer under aggressive throttle. Further, the quattro's six-speed auto is more rewarding than the front-drive's CVT. Itching for a V-6? There's the 265-horse 3.2 quattro, which feels plenty quick but not as lively as its torquier 2.0-liter counterpart. For the ultimate thrill ride, the S5 Cab is the ragtop of choice, its seven-speed dual-clutch auto and 333-horse supercharged V-6 delivering the mightiest punch, its quattro and torque-vectoring Sports Rear Differential providing the most tantalizing experience.

Volkswagen Concept BlueSport



The latest in a series of roadster concepts (dating back to the Concept R from 2003).

FEATURES:-
*The BlueSport offers a turbo-diesel engine, which, aided by an automatic stop/start feature.
*regenerative braking
*provides estimated fuel economy of iS mpgin the city and 5ompgon the highway.
*With 177 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0-liter TDI also scoots this little sportster to 6omphin 6.2 seconds.
*with a mid-engine location, 45/155 front/rear weight distribution, and a curb weight cifless than 2650 pounds, this two-seater should have what it takes to deliver even more smiles on curvy two-lanes than at fill-up time.

This VW is part of a proposed sports car program that also would supply the next 'I'l' for Audi. 'I"he biggest obstacle standing in itS way isPorsche (which owns a controlling stake in VW), whose management could view it as unwelcome competition for the Boxster.If it does get the nod,the VW roads ter would likely offer 1.2-liter and 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engines as well as this TDI.
