Yamaha FZ15 – Naked and armed!

The sexy FZ15 is coming... I had uploaded some Spy Pics of this naked street-fighter bike earlier and now it has been spotted at the Greater Noida Expressway recently. Got these pic from BIKE India.

The FZ15 will boast a peppy five-speed 150cc carburetted engine, different from the R15's liquid cooled unit though. The air-cooled engine with an oil-cooler tuned towards delivering more low end torque rather than high-end performance. I love the size of the engine coz it looks quite big for a 150cc. The FZ15 should deliver around around 14bhp.

And here are some more pictures I came across on Team-bhp.com. These spy pics are just great...

This is what Yamaha has showcased during the Auto Expo in Delhi...

More European beauties take on Indian roads

John Abraham, Audi India Managing Director Mr. Benoit Tiers and Ravi Shastri at the new Audi A4 launch

Indian car enthusiast is beaming the biggest smile ever :D and this looks like just the beginning!
Last week Audi unveiled the gleaming new A4 sedan, with its distinct LED trimmed headlights in Mumbai recently. Apart from the A4 sedan, there were oodles of glam quotient added to the event with a special fashion show and celebrities like former cricketer Ravi 'Audi' Shastri and actor John Abraham gracing the occasion. Ravi shared his experiences of winning an Audi at the Cricket World Cup back in 1985 and of course admitted that he drives a Q7 now.

John Abraham in the new Audi A4

The Audi A4 buyers will be offered two powerful engines. The vigorous diesel engine 2.0 TDI priced at Rs 29 lakh and the refined petrol 3.2 FSI Quattro priced at Rs 36-lakh. Audi India commenced its business activities in 2007 and already has a set of drool-inspiring (OR super sexy) range of models – the Audi A8, Audi Q7, Audi A6, Audi A4 and Audi TT.


And now the Volkswagen Jetta is here as well. The Jetta will be assembled locally at VW's Aurangabad plant and will be available in India in three variants –

  • The 1.6L Petrol priced at Rs 12.99 lakhs ex-showroom New Delhi.
  • The 1.9L Diesel priced at Rs 14.22 lakhs ex-showroom New Delhi.
  • The 1.9L Diesel with DSG Automatic transmission Priced at 16.67 lakhs ex-showroom New Delhi.
The Volkswagen Jetta - With doors wide open for India

The Volkswagen has some serious intention of kicking a$$ of the Japanese automakers. For Rs 12.99 lakhs ex-showroom New Delhi, the Jetta is targeted at the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and sibling Skoda Laura. We'll have to wait and see how deep can the Jetta bite into the Japanese pie ;)

Don't get wrong ideas I'm not talking about the model in this picture was just talking about big bikes. GAWD! You guys are impossible!!

The GUNBUS 410 sports the classical and elegant shape of a naked Sportsbike with massive 6728 CC, two-cylinder V-type engine... make you feel kinda tiny... but more importantly this beast promises to perform like no other. Sounds like your girlfriend, heh?GUNBUS terms such as size and performance have been given a completely different meaning.

Hyundai introduces a No-Petrol LPG-Electric Hybrid car!

Hyundai is geared up to produce cars that won't need petrol! Now that's what I call news, specially with the 'speculating' prices of petrol and diesel. And it's the not so popular Elantra (at least in India) that gets the unique hybrid transformation.

The Korean auto major plans to start retail sales of its first LPG-electric hybrid car July 2009. The Elantra LPI Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is the world’s first hybrid vehicle to be powered by liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and the first to adopt advanced Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly) batteries.

FACTS
• World’s first LPI hybrid, first to use advanced Lithium-Polymer batteries
• Operation costs poised to be lowest of any hybrid in the market
• “Hybrid premium” cost can be recouped in two years through fuel savings
• Emits just 103g/km of CO2 and 90% fewer pollutants to qualify as Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle
• Initial sales restricted to Korea. Now thats not a great news :(

However, we have our fingers & everything else crossed and hope to see India's second most popular car maker to launch the
LPG-electric hybrid car here eventually.

Hyundai Elantra as we know it in India
