Lamborghini Egoista: History Repeats Itself!

Attention readers! If you haven’t come across this monstrosity in the “world wild web”, don’t be alarmed. It’s not a car that you’d be racing from Mars to Sirius with. It’s the new Lamborghini launched just too 40 hours ago, and it’s already CONTROVERSIAL !

TORO! TORO!

TORO! TORO!

Being a 90′s kid, I’ve seen the births of many Lamborghinis right from the Gallardo and all it’s variants right up to the latest LP570-4, to the Murcielagos and its variants after the first LP640-4 was launched, the Reventon, Aventador, the Aventador J, the Urus etc etc. I remember a week before my 12th birthday I first read an article about “Lamborghini to hit Indian Shores” in the local newspapers and have followed the release of these bulls into our already chaotic land right from the start. Yes, at the risk of sounding a complete lunatic, it’s safe to say that I play Lamborghinis quite close to my chest. And in my last 9 years of lunacy, i must say that this must be the first time I didn’t wave my Muleta (the red cape used by the Matador) frantically to welcome this new bull in my life.… Read More…

Return Of Stingray: C7 Corvette Introduced At Detroit Motor Show

C7 After several series of teasers since weeks and several leaks, named after the type of small, maneuverable warship the most awaited American dream Chevy Corvette stingray is back after an exile of nearly 9 years. And the first impression suggests that it is a worth wait.

Starting in late 2007, there didn’t look like there was going to be a Corvette anyway. The project was halted for about six months that year because of GM’s financial problems. Then stopped again in late 2008 as GM was going into bankruptcy. The iconic American sports car has survived a troubled birth, quality problems and development delays.… Read More…

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Venet – World’s Fastest Road Legal Art

It sometimes is annoying when people say that the Bugatti Veyron series of cars aren’t beautiful or artistic enough while some go as far as stating that they look boxy and drab. I really don’t fault them, look at the Mona Lisa, a painting so good that for centuries people have tried finding fault in it. Human nature I say. And truth be told a car so poised and so “monstrously elegant” at the insane speeds that it so easily achieves, anybody would become a mumbling fool trying to find faults in it. It is a beautiful car, its beauty a partly a result of the engineering that makes the Bugatti Veyron the reigning god of the automobile world and also because of the “monstrous elegance” I mentioned earlier and partly because of the way the car unlike our other God’s of the tarmac looks you in the face and  makes you just want to drive instead of  inspiring song and poetry. … Read More…

F1 Successor (P1). Is it?

McLaren P1

McLaren P1

Unveiled just 9 days ahead of the Paris motor show to be held on 27th September, 2012, McLaren P1 is here for you. Dripping with McLaren’s eye popping orange, the P1’s official pictures just spread like wildfire all over the internet. The images clearly showcased the car after its teaser videos so far. Looks? My God that car is a beauty. With just a look of it, one can say the aesthetics of a mp4-12c purely studded in it, just an evolved MP4-12C to brief it up.

The powertrain has yet not been confirmed but the current speculations infer the same 3.8 litre twin turbo V8 engine as in the mp4-12c, but a little tweaked one producing an enormous 803 bhp. Adding to it is a fully functional KERS unit producing 160 bhp to a total 963 bhp. This is utterly hyper-car territory.  The unique claim by McLaren in this one was “the best aerodynamics”. … Read More…

Mercedes V12 To Go Silent, AMG To Take Over

Autoweek quotes that Mercedes Benz has decided to handover its prestigious art of making V12 engine to its in- house tuner AMG. Due to environmental concerns and rising fuel prices, automobile firms are downsizing their massive engine to get better efficiency. As for the new BMW M5, they have reduced the engine from beautiful V10 to turbocharged V8.  Likewise Mercedes has decided to stop the production of its own V12 engine.

However in contrast the brand which is synonymous with performance ,the AMG is well suited to build  its biggest and smoothest powerplants. AMG has a charismatic history of  delivering high performance engine since the very beginning. Even Pagani couldn’t escape the gravity of  it’s spectacular engineering, which is why they preferred to use V12 crafted by AMG for Huayra instead of making their own.… Read More…
