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…

The Horse, The Bull and The Machine – There Is A New King On The Throne

mclarenlamboferrariThe forests of the world are in danger, more danger than ever before. Trees are going to be cut, pulped and made into shiny glossy posters of these three gods to keep the Mclaren F1 company on every gearhead’s walls. The automotive world was expecting a miracle, something to shut the green brigade up with, we all knew there was something in store, we even knew it was one of three companies who would answer the call, but what Geneva gave us, well, that was breathtaking. The Mclaren P1 , La Ferrari and The Lamborghini Veneno in the same city at the same time, like I said, trees are in imminent danger not from any of these cars, they are the cutting edge in green technology today, but from wall posters.… Read More…

Epiphanic Echoes #3: Car Philosophies From An Alfista

Today’s topic: On why the DELTAWING was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

There are two problems with proposing a revolutionary idea in this vast engineering playground. Firstly, there aren’t any! Before you could even begin to ink the idea as a result of your lucid dreaming, some bloke from another land would’ve already accomplished what you wanted to.

Secondly, and this is the more itchy one- As society, our reflex tells us to completely ridicule any sign of ingenuity when it presents itself through the eyes of a visionary. Naming the likes of Leonardo Davinci, Wright brothers, Marie Curey, justifies what I’m trying to say.… Read More…

Stars To Lend Their Glitter To The Dutch Highways

In this so called happening world, there is a way too much shortage of the power sources required for events to be happening. Disco nights, we need electricity, Bash ups, electricity? Sports carnival, electricity? Transportation, electricity? Now while I do not want to comment on the necessities of people breeding in the society but I would surely say that there is a necessity of genuine thinkers to get in line and start etching out something rather than random people commenting on this. And then you never know, what the outcome could be.  There has and will always be a group of voices in the lanes which would appeal for the sensible introduction of the “alter—native” sources of energy!!!! And now some of you may think, they already have. I didn’t deny that either.… 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…

Honda – It Ain’t A Dream Without Everyone Being A Part Of It

Our childhood and to be very honest our entire history thrives on the classic rags-to-riches stories of exceptional individuals rocket to the top of the world based on seemingly nothing but a dream. “The power of dreams” Honda calls it. Once a century, a visionary is born who actually see’s technology for what its worth, understanding the true definition of a machine – Anything that performs or assists in the performance of a human task in turn reducing the amount of human effort required to complete the particular task. What people tend to forget is that the aforementioned humans aren’t a group of select individuals but humanity in general. This is the cornerstone on which one of the most revolutionary automotive empires was founded.… Read More…

Nissan Deltawing – The Tipping Point Of Racecars

At many levels, the job of a critic is quite simple. It is easy to toss away the hard work put in by someone by a few negative remarks. In the world of motorsports, a certain similar trend follows too. Many regard motor racing as an “expensive entertainment”. The concept of cars running in a loop around a track seems unnecessary to the unpassionate eye. There is a certain degree of uncomfortable gossip about motor racing committees surging in more money even as the world’s fuel resources are depleting.

 But little is known to such people that it’s the technologies on the race car that are eventually incorporated on road cars, and once every 10 years something new always comes up that changes the ball game. This time, it’s the NISSAN DELTAWING. And I reckon this right here is the very revolution that motorsport will be adapting to in the coming years.… Read More…
