Gearing up for glory

As a genuine off-road vehicle, Mercedes-Benz G-Class offers a unique sense of freedom.

Published

Performance, safety and comfort attribute to Mercedes-Benz. Considering these qualities, the G-Class is also no exception. It offers a unique interpretation of the trademark qualities of Mercedes-Benz. It’s not just the exterior that has remained true to the original design either. The engineering concept, too, is essentially unchanged. The G-Class features an exceptionally robust independent chassis, along with tried-and-tested off-road technology such as rigid axles, three fully locking differentials and a synchronous transfer case.

Over the years, the addition of electronic driving aids has further enhanced its safety, stability and on- and off-road
ability, while successive interior upgrades have created a cabin that’s now more comfortable and luxurious than ever. The diesel-engined G 350 BlueTEC gives you all the torque you need for overtaking and effortless off-roading. Alternatively, there’s the pulse-quickening performance of the petrol-engined G 55 AMG. Its supercharged 5.5-litre AMG V8 delivers 507 hp (373 kW) and 700 Nm of torque.

The new Mercedes Benz G55 AMG offers off-roading capabilities combined with supreme luxury. Powered by a 5.4 L V8 supercharged engine mated with 5-speed automatic transmission, the luxury on wheels roars its way through rough terrains.
With a maximum output of 507 HP and 700 Nm of torque, Mercedes G55 AMG takes you from zero to 100 kmph in just 5.5 seconds,
reaching to a top speed of 208 kmph. The AMG braking system works its charms and stops the vehicle promptly. Moreover, the chassis has been designed in a way that aids the car in giving a sports car like performance without ruling out its off roading abilities.

The All New Mahindra Thar 5 Door

Published

on

The automotive industry is abuzz with excitement as Mahindra introduces the much-anticipated All-New Thar 5-Door variant, taking the iconic off-roader to new heights. The most recent update on Thar reveals fresh information about its features, interiors, and design. Here is everything we currently know about the larger Mahindra Thar.

The three-door model on which the five-door Mahindra Thar is based may continue to influence its design and feature set. Highlights of the features could include aggressive wheel cladding, cruise control, remote keyless entry, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, TPMS, power windows, square tail lamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a roll-cage. It is anticipated that this Mahindra SUV will be powered by a 2.2-liter Hawk diesel engine and a 2.0-liter Stallion turbo-petrol engine. Options for transmissions are probably going to include six-speed manual and automatic models. Prices for the Mahindra Five-door Thar are anticipated to vary from Rs. 15.00 Lakh, depending upon the version chosen.

The 5-door Thar’s overall appearance is almost unchanged from the smaller model, with the exception of a few tiny grille adjustments and an updated round headlamp signature. Additionally visible from this angle are the front parking sensors. In addition to the two extra doors, the side profile features 19-inch alloy wheels that are designed differently from the 3-door model. The spare wheel is still installed on the tailboard and the rear profile appears to remain unaltered.

The new dashboard’s dual-tone black and brown theme is the first thing you see inside the vehicle. Additionally, this dashboard has a larger touchscreen entertainment system (maybe a 10.25-inch one), resembling the one found on the upgraded XUV400 electric SUV. This screen is expected to include Mahindra’s ArdenoX connected car technologies in addition to wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. 

This version, with five doors, is expected to compete with the Force Gurkha and Maruti Suzuki Jimny five-door models.

Mustang Forever

Published

on

It isn’t often that we see a classic muscle making waves even after being a standard mark for about 6 decades, but the charisma it holds on is far more impactful than what we see in the vehicles of today.

The 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is clearly the wet dream of any American muscle lover, just look at everything it has. The 2-door coupe FR layout car had an initial Windsor V8 in it as the engine in its 1st generation, while the current successor has a V8 Coyote in it. The 4 transmission car of the late 60s is still a statement piece which can be seen in many movies owing it to be either the inspiration for the modification or the devil itself.

The devilish beauty which has a 250 horsepower, capturing a top speed of 206 kmph making it go 0-100 km in just 8 seconds. This truly is a beast of the classics that shouldn’t be overlooked.
