Prasad, Maini victorious at JK Tyre racing

Prasad, Maini victorious at JK Tyre racing

Greater Noida: Arjun Maini and Vishnu Prasad won the two races at the third round of the 16th JK Tyre Racing Championship at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) on Sunday.

In the second race of the JK Racing India Series, championship leader Prasad took a hard earned victory over winner of the first race Maini by a mere 1.3 seconds. Mahaveer Rangunathan, who was penalised 30 seconds in the first race for making a jump start, made good by claiming third a further 6.8 seconds adrift of the race winner.

But in Race 3, Prasad made a great start and jumped leader Maini by the end of the first lap, opening up the lead. Behind him, Maini and Chittesh Mandody, who started sixth, managed to slot into third.

Prasad looked like having the race under control for nine laps but on the final lap, made an error going into the first corner. Maini grabbed the opportunity and squeezed Prasad off the racing line on the back straight. The pair made light contact but it was enough for Maini to take the lead.

Bentley may launch four-door coupe, SUV and new Mulsanne in future line up

Bentley seems to be on the path to expand its range and this includes an SUV, a Mercedes-Benz CLS rivalling four door coupe and a new Mulsanne all of which should see the light of day by the end of 2020. It had previewed the SUV in the form of EXP 9 and despite facing much criticism for the design will go forward with it for a 2015 launch. The Mulsanne and the Continental GT by that time will be due for a facelift and should get new models; however, the surprise is the announcement of the four-door coupe which will be their first car to go below the Continental GT.

A report from Carmagazine UK suggests that the four-door Coupe will be 4.8-meters long and will make use of turbocharged V6 diesel and petrol engines. It is expected to be priced in the region of 125, 000 GBP to 150, 000 GBP (Rs 1.2 Crore to Rs 1.5 Crore). We had reported in June that the third generation Continental GT and Porsche Panamera will share common underpinnings that were being developed by the latter. The new four-door Coupe is also expected to use the same design and construction.

The new Mulsanne, Bentley flagship palace on wheels, will see the light of day in 2020 and will switch from the 6.7-litre V8 to surprisingly a larger W12 mill and will include four-wheel drive option also.

Finally the SUV, which we hope will look better than the EXP9 concept vehicle is expected to share its engines and underpinnings with the next generation Audi Q7. The report suggests that it will only get a petrol engine but we believe that if Bentley sees potential in markets like ours, the its upcoming SUV will also have a diesel-hybrid under the hood. It has already previewed a basic design sketch for the SUV on its official website.

It’s a common strategy among manufacturers to have a wider range of vehicle in different segments and it seems that even the ones sitting on top have realised that such move is financially viable and provides stability in the long run.

Maruti Suzuki Swift XDi edition launched in Rajasthan for Rs 5.44 lakh

It is that time of the year when dealers get all competitive and start offering incredible deals on vehicles in a bid to take advantage of the festival season. One such offer that seems to have caught everyone’s attention is the Maruti Suzuki Swift XDi edition which has been introduced in the state of Rajasthan for Rs 5.44 lakh (on Road Jaipur). It is based on the LDi/ LXi and comprises an accessory pack with a large list of features.

 External changes to the Swift XDi edition are full wheel caps, front fog lamps, OVRMs with integrated indicators and central locking with keyless entry. Inside, the dealers have fitted front power windows, door sill guards, rear parking sensors, double din music system, art leather seat covers and tilt adjust for the steering. Most of these features are available on the VXi/ VDi variants of the hatchback. All the accessories work out to about Rs 40, 000 over the price of the standard variant. 

In terms of engines, the XDi edition remains the same as the standard car. The petrol is a 1.2-litre unit that produce 87PS and 114Nm of torque while the diesel is the 1.3-litre Multijet that produces 76PS and 190Nm of torque. Both engines have mated to a five-speed manual gearbox which sends power to the front wheels. 
The dealers also seem to be offering an Rs 20, 000 exchange bonus or Rs 15, 000 loyalty bonus on the Swift XDi edition. It is likely that sales of the Swift hatchback have slowed down in Rajasthan and this is an effort by the Indo-Japanese automaker at the dealer level to boost sales. 
This is the third such limited edition of the Swift hatchback in the last eight month with the previous one being the Swift RS edition. 
Prices for the Maruti Suzuki Swift XDi edition (on Road Jaipur)
Maruti Suzuki Swift XDi edition petrol -Rs 5.44 lakh 
Maruti Suzuki Swift XDi edition diesel -Rs 6.67 lakh
