Made in India Vehicles

IndianTiger, you say "all are good." Maybe 4 u ... are you a collector :woot: .

Frank Martin, thanks for a more nuanced response.

I gettit :azn::azn::azn: .

Methinks, Dost 'slices & dices' the market for hilly terrain Main metro to up country runs and will compete in the M & M Genio, Tata Xenon, Tata 407, Swaraj Mazda, Mahindra Mitsubishi (not sure) erstwhile DCM Toyota/Allwyn Nissan or traditional jeep type market, feedback appreciated. Dost will fit in the middle of that market.

The cylinder runs. The cylinder depot to hill customer run, teh regulation milk, eggs & chicken runs and small batch cement, roree , machinery, saria and eentaa runs in the fast developing hill areas, perhaps :lol: ?

Hate to see a Tata Xenon all 'de-modded' doing cylinder runs all over the hills. The old Tata use to do that in the Himalays and Nepal, Sikkim taking over from the old Mahindra. Dost is it then?

Mahindra showcases its 2012 Moto3 machine at Valencia


The Indian MotoGP team, Mahindra Racing took the sheets off their Moto3 competitor, the MGP30 (pronounced as three oh) on Saturday at the final round of the MotoGP world championship at Valencia, Spain. Mahindra entered the MotoGP championship in the 125cc class this season and became the first ever Indian company to enter the premier motorcycle racing series in the world. This is the last year of the 125cc class of which the very last race will be run tomorrow at the Valenica circuit. Next year onwards the 2-stroke-powered 125cc class will be replaced by 4-stroke 250cc race machines and the class will be referred to as Moto3.

The unveiling of Mahindra Racing’s Moto3 race machine was done by Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd’s Vice Chairman & Managing Director Anand Mahindra at the Valencia circuit in Spain. Developed jointly by Mahindra and Italy’s motorcycle racing specialist firm, Engines Engineering, the Mahindra MGP30 is powered by Mahindra-homologated 250cc, 4-stroke fuel-injected single cylinder engine. The motor has been developed in union by Mahindra and Oral Moto Ltd – a joint venture between Two Wheel Design Group and Formula One racing specialists, Oral Engineering. The engine is packaged inside a tubular steel chassis while the swingarm has been crafted out of lightweight aluminium. Proudly flaunting Mahindra Racing’s red and white colours, the MGP-Three-Oh will be the machine that will have a lot of hopes and dreams riding on it.

Commenting on the occasion Anand Mahindra said, “I have been watching our progress in the 125cc class all year and am now delighted to finally have the opportunity to witness the fantastic spectacle of MotoGP first hand. I am doubly pleased to be able to unveil the Mahindra Racing MGP30 in person. When the Mahindra Group sets itself a challenge, we employ ingenuity, determination and serious commitment to RISE and succeed. We have used the final year of the 125cc class to study and learn while concurrently developing our Moto3 bike in Italy. I am very proud of the achievement of our team, riders and engineers this year and very excited by the prospect of watching our wonderful new bike compete in this new class in 2012. Mahindra has made a strong commitment to MotoGP. We are here for the long term and we intend to succeed. Ladies and gentlemen, watch out! The Indians are coming.

The cherry on the cake came later in the day when Mahindra Racing’s Danny Webb gave the team and India, its first ever pole position in MotoGP at the very last race of the 125cc era. With the riders find their speed and the machines getting up to competition, there is certainly no stopping the first ever Indian company to make it into MotoGP. Go Mahindra Racing!

New baby Jaguar saloon detailed

New baby Jaguar saloon detailed - News - Autocar India
Jaguar engineers are working on an all-new front-drive baby saloon that will spearhead sales in India and China, as well become one of the company’s leading new models in the all-important US market. It should be launched by 2015 and is likely to be built in India and the UK.

According to sources in India, the new model is thought to be about 4.5 metres long and will be powered by Jaguar Land Rover’s all-new three-cylinder, 1.5-litre engine and four-cylinder, 1.8 and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol and diesels. Sophisticated new-generation eight- and nine-speed automatic gearboxes are also thought to be on the menu. The baby Jaguar, however, won’t be a budget model.

There will be a number of variations on the mainstay four-door, including a coupé and possibly a small roadster. The company had also created a hatchback concept called the RD-6 back in 2003.

Despite the reputation of the unloved X-Type, Jaguar’s decision to build a range of front-drive cars is being partly forced on the company by the stringent new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations due in the US from 2016.

Jaguar will be in good company downsizing into a range of frugal baby saloons. Audi has already shown its 4.4m-long A3 saloon concept and Mercedes its A-class-style F800 concept. Both are based on new front-drive platforms and aimed primarily at India, China and the US.

Last year, now-departed JLR boss Carl-Peter Forster said Jaguar needed a “successor to the X-type… and we need [it] in several variations.” However, it has become clear in recent months that this model will not be a direct rear-drive rival for the BMW 3-series, but a more modern interpretation of a compact, eco-friendly, executive car.

There’s no indication of the new car’s styling direction, but it’s thought it won’t build on the avant-garde look of the latest XJ. Aerodynamic efficiency will be a necessity, though, as will a premium look to justify the price. The interior will be more modern than anything Jaguar has done so far, putting the emphasis on large-screen displays and connectivity, as well as Audi-matching finish.

The baby Jaguar could be based on a variation of the new LR-MS platform that underpins the new Range Rover Evoque. Even though Jaguar is increasingly making play of its use of lightweight aluminium construction, an all-aluminium platform would be too expensive for a car of this price.

However, last year, Mark White, Jaguar’s chief technical specialist for body engineering, said that if he designed a ‘mixed-materials’ structure for a potential small model, he would use steel box sections and aluminium sheets for the floorpans, roof panels and doors to “achieve maximum weight saving for minimum cost.”

Jaguar engineers are said to have particularly ambitious fuel economy targets for the new model. Last year Ron Lee, Jaguar’s chief powertrain engineer, revealed that the company was aiming to build an XF-sized car that could emit just 100g/km CO2 by 2020.

Much of this work — including a 1.8-litre, four-cylinder petrol motor with a very high power density of as much as 170bhp per litre and a diesel engine good for 133bhp per litre — will also be applied to the baby saloon.
