After Fiat, its now Tata Motors turn to play the power game. The company will launch the new Indica Vista Drivetech4 powered by the more powerful 90 hp VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo) variant of the 1.3 Quadrajet engine which is already doing duty under the hood of Indigo Manza and the recently launched Fiat Punto 90 HP, on 13th October.

Apart from the engine, the new Indica Vista will also come with some cosmetic changes to the insides and outside to differentiate itself from its less powerful brethren. Tata Motors is also expected to tweak the suspension for improved ride and handling and better braking performance to rein in the extra power at command.

The new Indica Vista 93 PS will be dearer by around Rs 30,000 compared to the regular 75 hp Quadrajet variant and will also be slightly more fuel efficient.

Stay tuned to Autoholiks for the latest info on the new Indica Vista!

Our friends at autoblog have managed to shoot a few spy pictures of the upcoming Land Rover LRX which is expected to debut in 2011.

The baby SUV from Land Rover stable was first shown as a concept at the North American International Auto Show in 2008 as a cross-coupe designed to be efficient, luxurious and capable offroad.  The LRX will most probably wear the Range Rover badge (hint: premium pricing) and will include company’s efficiency enhancing e_Terrain technologies.

Although heavily disguised in the spy images, the styling is very true to the concept and in our view would be one of the best looking vehicle to come out from Land Rover in a long time. The new LRX will come in both front wheel drive and all wheel drive flavors and will also feature a hybrid version in the lineup.

Stay tuned to autoholiks for more details.

Looks almost real but it isnt however it may be few years down the line! These high quality renderings of the 2012 BMW M5 saloon come to you via Alpine325ci of f10 forums.

The high performance super saloon from BMW is due to arrive in 2011 and will be powered by a twin turbo 4.4 litre V8 engine replacing the current model’s 5.0 litre V10. The 4.4 litre V8 engine is already doing duty under the hood of the X5M and the X6M developing 555 bhp and 680 nm of torque but will be tweaked for still more power when it lands in the engine bay of the next gen F10 M5.

The power output is expected to be closer to a mammoth 600 bhp eclipsing even supercars like the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Porsche 911 Turbo! The ‘M’ button which lets you choose between ‘mad’ and ‘bonkers’ power from the engine is also expected to be there.

Stay tuned to autoholiks!

Could this be an end for Palio in India ?

Surely a disappointment for all palio owners, the company has no plans to upgrade Palio for BSIV norms. This means it will be phased out from all those cities which have BSIV norms implemented.  Clearly a move to focus on its much better selling hatch  “The Gorgeous Punto”. Maruti 800 recently had a similar fate when the company announced that there are no plans to upgrade for BSIV.

It feels sad to see cars which have been part of us for such a long time to go off the Indian roads but in a way it feels good too that environmental concerns are being addressed.

Maruti 800, a car that put a nation on wheels, will not be avai lable in 13 cities from April 1, 2010 onwards.

Speaking on the sidelines of a HR Conclave organised by SIAM (Society Of Indian Automobile Manufacturers), Mr. RC Bhargava, Chairman, Maruti Suzuki said “The M800 is not compliant with BS IV and I don’t think we have any intentions of making it compliant either. It’ll go out of 13 cities beginning April. At the moment, we don’t have a position on a complete phase out plan.”

With the new emission laws coming into effect from April 1 2010 onwards, carmakers are required to upgrade the engines to the Bharat IV levels. The new norms will be first be applicable in 13 major cities of India which include Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, Bangalore, Kanpur, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.

As more and more cities get the new emission norms, the 800 will eventually be phased out completely. Mr Bhargava also said that after 800’s production is stopped, Alto will be the entry level model from Maruti Suzuki stable quashing any rumours of a Nano competitor from India’s largest car maker.

“There’s no plan of replacing the M800 with any other new model. We’re not bringing any new model to replace the car. If the 800 goes out totally, the Alto will be the cheapest car which we will offer,” he added.

The new Swift will make its debut in 2010 Paris Motor Show.

The new model certainly looks bigger than the current version. The front looks more or less the same as the current version with some changes like Kizashi inspired grill and new head lamps, the rear however is entirely different with the number plate finding it place on the boot rather that the bumper.

Not much known if there are any changes planned for the engines and it is unlikely that the Indian version would get a new petrol engine due to its recent K-Series launch, diesel might get an upgrade with Suzuki’s tie up with Volkswagen.
