So, now its Bajaj ready to entre in 300 cc market with BAJAJ PULSAR 375CC .......

 

India’s most loved sportsbike which rulled the segment of 150cc & 180 cc is about to get bigger, racier and better than ever before. It’s still a few months from road ready, with Bajaj presently focusing on introducing the exciting KTM 390 Duke, but its known that the team at ‘**Ahead’ (Bajaj R&D) is working to ready a neatly faired-in, approximately 375cc all-new Pulsar that will debut across India later within this calendar year, in 2013.

 

The big new and faired-in Pulsar shall aim to be a bold new segment driver when it hits Indian roads, by offering biking enthusiasts here a level of style and performance never previously available with any Pulsar. The new Bajaj flagship is styled to draw eyeballs, its mean Yamaha YZF-R1 resembling dual-headlights seen peering out in the set of detailed frontal images available with us; a spy photo and an exclusive rendering. Clip-on handlebars will be standard, and expect a sporty, compact cockpit layout, with comprehensive instruments and Bajaj typical good quality switchgear.

 

 

 

The upcoming larger capacity Pulsar will share its basic four-stroke and single-cylinder engine platform with the KTM 390 Duke, so expect a full complement of close to 45 aggressive horses, with ample modern technology packed in, including a six-speed, close-ratio gearbox, liquid-cooling system and four-valve equipped head, apart from an array of other goodies. The big Pulsar’s engine will be tailored and fine-tuned to suit its new role and having recently ridden and experienced the 390 firsthand, we expect a refined rev happy powerplant that will deliver nothing short of blistering performance for the class, with quick acceleration and a top speed easily in excess of 150kph. 

 

This sporty new Pulsar will use standard telescopic fork front suspension, while you can expect to see a monoshock doing duty at the rear. Single rotor disc brakes can be taken for granted front and rear, the front using a petal shape rotor for better heat dissipation. An ABS braking system should be optional, as already seen on the KTM 390 Duke.

 

 

 

Bajaj Pulsar 375 Speculated Specifications:-

Engine: 4 stroke water-cooled single cylinder

Engine capacity: 373.2cc

Torque: 32Nm at 7,250rpm

Power: 41.5HP at 9,000pm

Transmission: 6-speed

While other details remain under wraps, you can safely expect the 2013 Pulsar to offer all-and-more in terms of a stylish, affordable Indian sportsbike, with a rich specification list and quick turn of performance. bajaj is planing to launch before this DIWALI to gift it as diwali bonanza

Honda's  new trigger to tackle 150 cc market........ 

 

 

The HondaCB Trigger 150cc bike, which was unveiled last month, is now available at a price of Rs 67,384 (ex-showroom Delhi). Pricing of the bike is slightly steeper in Mumbai and starts at Rs 72,431 (ex-showroom Mumbai). This is the fourth launch in the 150cc segment by the Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer after the CB Unicorn, Dazzler and CBR150R. The latest offering is powered by a 150cc, four-stroke mill capable of pushing out 14.14PS @ 8,500rpm and boasts a torque figure of 12.5Nm @ 6,500rpm. Visually the new bike looks like a beefed-up version of CB Twister with some design elements influenced from the Dazzler.

The CB trigger is the first bike in the country to have Combi Brake System (CBS) as an option. The CBS applies both the brakes simultaneously which aids stability under hard braking and reduces braking by as much as 32 per cent. Honda has loaded the new offering with features like mono-shock suspension, digital instrument panel, tubeless tyres, maintenance-free battery and viscous air filter. The company claims that the CB Trigger will return a mileage of 60kmpl.

An another rival in MPV segment, Chevrolet Enjoy to launch on May 9........

An another rival in hotly-contested MPV segment in India.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shown first as a concept at the Auto Expo held back in January, the Enjoy is an out-and-out MPV developed in China to cater to the needs of a typical Indian family with its eight-seater layout and acres of space. In terms of overall stance, the Chevrolet Enjoy MPV will directly challenge the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, the Nissan Evalia MPV, Mahindra Xylo and the Toyota Innova in the Indian market.

 

The Enjoy may not look as contemporary as the Ertiga but is pleasant enough. The profile is typically MPV, the short, steeply raked nose meets the large windscreen and massive body, and there are some interesting details. There’s an attractive swage line that runs off the bottom of the grille, the prominent ‘V’ in the bonnet looks smart, and the line that runs from the front wheel arch to the rear breaks up the mass of the body quite nicely. The back of the Enjoy is, however, large and very boxy and the 14-inch wheels are a bit too small.

 

Like the Ertiga it is built on a car-like monocoque chassis but unlike the Maruti it has the engines placed longitudinally and, more importantly, sends power to the rear wheels.One of the biggest benefits of having a monocoque structure in an MPV is that you don’t have a big, stout frame sitting below you. This automatically means you can have more space for the passengers. Slipping into the seats after opening the big doors is dead easy, they are almost at the perfect height, and once inside, legroom and headroom on both rows is plentiful. Both Enjoys we drove were top-of-the-line models and had captain seats for the second row, so levels of comfort are really high in both cases. The chairs have good thigh support and a wide base, and back support is also very good. We also found that the third row was surprisingly useable. The second row seats don’t flip forward, so you need to crouch and walk past the second row to access the rearmost seats. This requires some amount of contortion, but because you can also slide the second row captain seats up and down, you can actually fit adult legs in there.

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ambience inside the cabin isn’t too bad either. The cabin is light and airy and visibility from all seats is good. The design of the two-tone dash is a bit boring and old fashioned on the one hand, but on the flipside it is neat and uniform, meaning it won’t put off many people. The levels of fit and finish however are less than impressive. You are surrounded by a phalanx of hard plastics and the even the stitching of the seats look distinctly aftermarket. 

 

There aren’t too many really useful cubby holes either. The door pockets are shallow and the pair of cup holders can only hold small cans and not bottles of water. Equipment levels too are a bit disappointing. There’s no Bluetooth, no climate control, the music system is a mere single-DIN unit and the driver does not even get a dead pedal.

 

The expected starting pricing for the base petrol variant is sub-Rs 6 lakh and close to the Rs 7 lakh mark for the base diesel variant.

 

stay tuned for more details.!!!!!!

 

 

 

Lamborghini tractors on track to be sold in India by 2014.....

Yes, what u read is correct a sports car maker lamborghini who started his business with tractor now entering in indian market with tractors.

The SAME Deutz-Fahr (SDF) Group which acquired the tractor maker from its famous parent, is studying the Indian market.

 

 

The target market for the high end tractors (sold in western markets for more than USD 20,000) will be rich farmers, high profile individuals with agricultural interests, along with golf courses, sports stadiums and premium resorts. 

 

• The company already makes Lamborghini tractors (around 800 were made last year) at its Ranipet plant in Tamil Nadu for export to markets like Europe and Malaysia.
• The company sold around 2,000 units of its Deutz-Fahr tractors in India, and exported around 4,000 units in 2012.
• The company also makes 15,000 tractor engines in India.
• Key markets are Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Western UP & MP and Punjab.
• High level of localisation with import component of only 10%. MRF tyres and Exide batteries already fitted on the tractors.
• Indian operations account for about 10% (Euro 120 million) of the SDF group's annual sales.

 

 

Ferrari tractors will also be sold in India by tractor maker Escorts, in partnership with Italian firm BCS S.p.A.
Surprisingly, despite the name Ferrari, these tractors don’t have any link with the famous Italian automaker. The Ferrari tractor manufacturer is based in Luzzara (Italy) and made its first tractor in 1957 called the MC 57.
It was acquired by the BCS group in 1988. Escorts will be selling Ferrari's 26 Hp model priced at Rs. 8 Lakh. The tractors will be imported from Italy and assembled in India by Escorts.

 

Maruti Suzuki to debut WagonR Stingray(Toll boy) in India.......

 

Designer:- Ikuko Tsurumaki

 

 

The car which is known as wagonR.......looks also almost like wagon but with some intelligent design is now gets new intelligent wagon look.........this time looking more sexier than the last one with more height...and more sitting comfort

 

 

In the middle of a slowdown, Maruti Suzuki, India's largest carmaker, is debuting an all new premium WagonR Stingrayin the small car segment. It would position this all-new car higher than the WagonR. The new Stingray variant hit the Japanese market last year and carries several improvements that would also be updated in the Indian variant.

 

First seen in February 2007, Stingray is a sportier version of the WagonR with a more aggressive frontal styling and masculine cues in the rear. While the overall shape is expected to be on the lines of a standard WagonR, Stingray would have thinner and deeper headlamps with sleeker and sportier chrome strip on the grille that runs between these horizontal front lights. The interiors would be also be reworked with different colour contrasts and an integrated gear stick on the dashboard rather than the floor. 

 

According to two people having direct knowledge of this probable launch, it is one of the major products for Maruti to gain volumes in 2013 and should debut during the lead monsoon season.It's a new upscale variant of the WagonR that would be sold along with the existing car. While the trial production is on its way, the launch should happen in the next few months. It would help the company to space out a new premium position for this car, along with its other offering to break away from the immensely crowded Indian small car market.

 

While the Japanese variant comes in a sophisticated but smaller 660 cc engine, the Indian car would have fuel efficient and responsive 1000cc three-cylinder KSeries petrol engine that also powers the A-Star and Alto K10. As sales of petrol cars are on the decline and to fight the dull sentiment prevailing in the domestic market, Maruti may also debut the CNG and LPG variants that are available in the current Wagon R sold in India.

A diesel variant is ruled out for the time being as the company is still working on a compact diesel engine for its smaller models. Unlike the Japanese variant that is mated to an automatic transmission, the local car would be initially available with a manual transmission for its normal trim levels

Here is the full story of development of turbocharger for 2-cylinder turbo engine:-

 

A new chapter in the story of ultra-fuel efficient auto design opened in 2012 with the development of the world’s first 2-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine.

Today, the 0.8L engine, boosted by Honeywell’s smallest-ever turbo, can be seen powering vehicles through the busy streets of India’s cities and towns, typically carrying goods from warehouses to local businesses. For Honeywell, boosting such a small engine created a whole new set of design and engineering challenges.

“The issues in developing a turbo for a 2-cylinder engine not only revolve around packaging but also around specific challenges linked to compressor surge, oil leakage, high vibrations and high thrust load due to engine pulsations. These issues are far more pronounced here than in a four-cylinder engine,” says Vijayan Asvathanarayanan, Director of Application Engineering for Honeywell Turbo Technologies in India.

This meant that Honeywell engineers had to approach the turbo design from a completely new angle.

“We came up with a totally new turbocharger that included a very small turbine housing with integrated manifold, and the smallest-ever compressor wheel developed by Honeywell. The higher relative thrust loads brought about by the pulsation of a bi-cylinder engine meant creating new concept thrust pads in the Z-bearing – vital if we were to be efficient in matching the turbo to the engine requirements.”

A high-efficiency, compact bearing was developed – and the design was so successful that it is now being extended to other turbo sizes as well.

The result of this intense engineering activity is a well-performing and reliable turbo fitted in the 2-cylinder OEM production engine since 2011, which is contributing to a remarkable 25% improvement in power over a non-turbo equivalent and to significant fuel efficiency gains and lower emissions.

Critically, the proven success paves the way for the roll-out of a new generation of turbocharged 2- and 3-cylinder diesel passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, particularly in emerging regions.

legend returns.....Royal Enfield Bullet 500......!!!!!!!!

 

Royal Enfield has dipped deep into their existing parts bin and has come up with a new Bullet 500. Powering the motorcycle is a 500cc twin-spark carburetted 4-stroke UCE engine which makes 26.4PS of power and a meaty 40.9Nm of torque. A 5-speed gearbox on the left side helps put all this power to the ground.

 

As far as styling goes, it looks a traditional Bullet and Royal Enfield is offering it with a new Frost

Green colour. The round headlamp unit now houses what the company calls as Tiger Lamps. On the tank now there is silver and gold livery for the RE logo. The pillion gets cushion-finished grab-rail while the tail lamp is the traditional RE rounded unit. The tyre size is similar to the fuel injected 500 , 19-inchers with the front wheel getting a 280mm disc brake.

 

Prices for the new Royal Enfield Bullet 500 are expected to be announced next week and we will keep you posted.
