Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles Pvt. Ltd is known for manufacturing compact electric cars and now once again the fully owned subsidiary of Mahindra & Mahindra is ready to launch its all-new four-seater electric vehicle, the E2O by the end of next month.
The auto giant has christened the new model and now instead of Reva NXR it is being addressed as ‘E2O’ as per Mahindra’s style of naming all its cars that ends with alphabet ‘o’, such as Scorpio, Xylo, Quanto, Verito, etc. Mahindra’s E2O is the very first product that is assembled at company’s newly set up friendly facility in Bangalore.
Reva E2O is equipped with 48-volt, 29kw electric motor, which is capable enough of churning out peak power of 39.4bhp along with a fine fuel economy. Also company may further plan to launch the costlier variant of the same model that will be powered by a lead-acid battery, however there are no such plans yet. The new model is now much more spacious, powerful and trendy.
The new Reva E2O is expected to stand in a sub price category of Rs. 6 lakh. This is a correct time to launch an electric car as country is seeking alternate as well as cheaper fuel options apart from petrol, diesel and CNG.

The new State Highway 130 toll road allows drivers to pay a special toll fee in order to be allowed to drive at the faster speed. Safety advocates who have been actively lobbying against the road will have taken note of events of the first night that the SH 130 opened. According to KXAN news, four separate collisions involving wild hogs were reported to authorities on the first night the road was open, with one crash resulting in a vehicle being written off. "85 -- they're on [the hogs] even before they know they're on them," said Lockhart Police Chief Michael Lummus. "Anyone that's ever struck a deer, they know that they're in the ditches and you don't see them until they're in front of you and it's the same with these [hogs]. But they're even lower [to the ground and hard to see]." On October 23, Texas-based tuner John Hennessey took his heavily reworked 1,226 horsepower CTS-V on a specially sanctioned high speed run down the new stretch of road reaching a speed of 220.5mph to promote the new highway. However, authorities are yet to decide on what to do about the wild hog problem, but suggest caution in the meantime. "I don't know that there's an easy fix because even if you drop the speed limit to 60 or 65 it's still a problem," said Lummus. "It's a hazard that you almost have trouble trying to understand what's the best thing I can do here except be aware and alert, and maybe slow down even though the law says you can drive 85," suggested Lummus. div.post-content1 ul li { list-style:disc !important; margin-left:20px; color:#000000; } div.post-content1 ol li { list-style-type: decimal !important; margin-left:20px; color:#000000; } #editorial_graph ul li { list-style:none !important; margin-left:0px; } 
The HB20X shares most of its sheet metal with the HB20 but it gains off-road-specific equipment such as skid plates on both ends and plastic protection on the rocker panels and the wheel arches. The crossover's front end is more aggressive than that of the hatchback that it is based on thanks to an imitation mesh grille and a healthy dose of brushed aluminum trim. Hyundai did not release pictures of the car's interior, saying only that it is packed with upmarket features such as sport pedals and chrome trim. The compact crossover is only offered with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that can run on both gasoline and ethanol. Linked to either an automatic or a manual transmission, it sends 128 horsepower to the front set of wheels. Hyundai does not plan on offering an all-wheel drive version of the car so buyers who are looking to take it off-roading will have to settle for a slightly raised ground clearance. The HB20X is scheduled to go on sale in Brazil before the end of the year. It was designed specifically for Latin American and Hyundai has no plans to offer it in Europe or in the United States. div.post-content1 ul li { list-style:disc !important; margin-left:20px; color:#000000; } div.post-content1 ol li { list-style-type: decimal !important; margin-left:20px; color:#000000; } #editorial_graph ul li { list-style:none !important; margin-left:0px; } 
The sentence above does not have a typo in it: the Gol is sold alongside the Golf in Brazil, where it is aggressively marketed as Volkswagen do Brazil's entry-level offering. For 2013 the Gol gains a new front end that puts it more in line with Volkswagen's current design language. The headlights are angular and the grille is skinnier than before, making the hatchback hard to discern from a European-spec Polo. The Gol's back end also gets Polo-like lights but its body is sleeker, giving it a sportier silhouette than the Polo. The interior is offered with a more complete instrumentation and redesigned gauges. The car can be fitted with electric mirrors, an upgraded audio system as well as front and back parking sensors, making a first in the Gol's history. The hatchback's entry-level engine is a new 1.0-liter mill that makes 76 horsepower. As is often the case in Brazil it is a Flex engine, meaning that it can run on both ethanol and gasoline. Next up in the lineup is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder that can be bolted to a semi-automatic gearbox for an extra cost. The Bluemotion variant of the 1.0-liter gains low-rolling resistance tires that are designed to be inflated with over 30 PSI of air and underbody modifications that are said to improve air flow. The Gol was designed specifically for the Latin American market but it might be offered in several Asian countries next year. Don't look for it to make an appearance in Europe or in the United States, however. div.post-content1 ul li { list-style:disc !important; margin-left:20px; color:#000000; } div.post-content1 ol li { list-style-type: decimal !important; margin-left:20px; color:#000000; } #editorial_graph ul li { list-style:none !important; margin-left:0px; }

Before Volvo started getting sexy, the company advertised its autos using a mixture of clever humor and ridiculous women drivers. Everyone knows Volvo as the Swedish automaker that prides itself on safety. Recently, Volvo has been trying to tweak that image, focusing instead on the sexiness of its crossovers and sedans. While the company's rebrand has been somewhat successful, what everyone really knows Volvo for is perfectly captured in these vintage commercials. These ads harp on the safeness and reliability that only comes with a boxy sedan built in Sweden. If you're a fan of vintage car ads then you're going to want to check out the following commercials. This classic commercial shows just how strong Volvos of yesteryear really were. It's debatable how many Volvo drivers actually risked getting into an accident where several other Volvos landed on their roof, but it's nice to know that you could survive said accident should it ever occur. Volvo apparently used this ad to successfully clear a backlog of unsold cars in Australia. We may never know whether this commercial actually moved Aussies to buy Volvos, but what is known is that "Volvo, an investment in Swedish logic" is easily one of the automotive taglines of all-time. Women drivers might not find this vintage commercial all that funny. However, male drivers who constantly make jokes regarding the making of sandwiches will get more than a chuckle out of this ad-especially the ending. This commercial does a great job of showing just how strong Volvos really are. The old-school Volvo in this ad takes an off-road pounding and still runs like a champ. Disclaimer: Beating a Volvo into the ground should not be used as a substitute for psychiatry. Volvo again shows just how clever it can be in advertising in this commercial. Kudos go to the Swedish automaker for predicting autonomous autos some 40 years before their inception.

It's had a great run, but with fierce new rivals on the market, the Gallardo is quickly showing its age. Fear not, however, as Lamborghini has a new V10 supercar in the works. The Gallardo has been a phenomenal success for Lamborghini, outselling the Countach, Diablo, Murcielago and Aventador combined to emerge as the Sant'Agata-based automaker's most prolific model. But after eight years, the V10 model is about to be retired, and that means a replacement is coming. Car Advice reports that Lamborghini exec Fintan Knight divulged at the Sydney Motor Show that the next model will have a new name that will bear the legacy of another famous fighting bull.

This is the car that not only mobilized the masses but also paved the way for countless new engineerig and production techniques. Generally regarded as the most important automobile of all time, the Ford Model T was the car which introduced car ownership to the masses. We've all heard the legends, and although some of these are in fact myths, the importance of the Model T cannot be overstated. The car was not without its critics, and it has to be said that it was quite obsolete by the time production ceased, but the astronomical sales figures speak for themselves.

A total Eclipse? Mitsubishi says it doesn't have the cash (or the business case) on hand to develop a new sports coupe. There was a time when Mitsubishi built sportscars that were truly fantastic instead of SUVs that not enough people are buying. Thanks to its past partnership with Chrysler, models like the 3000GT and Eclipse saw additional life under the Dodge, Eagle and Plymouth brands as well. But the '90s are behind us, and with it the Dodge Stealth/3000GT and the Eclipse/Talon/Laser. Today, the Japanese automaker has just one sporty model, the Lancer Evolution, and it's not even a coupe. But don't expect that to change anytime soon.

Miami Dolphin Kevin Burnett goes for a spin in the �Infamous Monster�. Kevin Burnett is no stranger to speed. The Miami Dolphin linebacker owns two Nissan GT-Rs and a Toyota Supra, however the Mitsubishi Evo IX "Infamous Monster" and its 800+ horsepower (measured at the wheels) is a different animal altogether. ThatRacingChannel has just uploaded a clip of the 6'3" 240lbs NFL defensive standout going for a spin in the powerful brute of a rally-car-for-the-road and the end result isn't unexpected: he loved it. And love it he should, considering its 10-second quarter mile time. To get there, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX has had its engine rebuilt and fitted with an HTA GT3794 turbo kit to produce that landmark 808 hp. So it's not surprising that after the drive, Burnett remarked that the Evo is the fastest car he has ever been in - including the pair of Godzillas in his garage.

Already one of the most powerful cars on the road, Geiger has tuned the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe to even more ludicrous levels of performance. Geiger Cars has been tuning American imports in Germany for over 30 years. The Munich-based aftermarket specialist's latest program is based on the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, adding more power and style to a vehicle that already has plenty of both. These modifications, however, don't come cheap. Geiger has optimized the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 in the CTS-V with a remapped ECU, new special camshafts, a larger intercooler, a supercharger lifted from the Corvette ZR1 and a new sports exhaust system.

Engine, aero, suspension, brakes and everything else carries over from the GT3 race car, but geared towards private customers. Only five examples are being offered at nearly half a million euros apeice.

Get an M3 with matte finish direct from the factory. All it'll cost you is an extra $16,000. Matte finishes are trendy, and BMW has been at the forefront with its Frozen editions. This time, though, the Bavarian automaker has launched three Frozen finishes for the M3 coupe all at once. And for the patriotic among us (be that towards America, Britain, France, Russia or any of a dozen other countries), those colors are red, white and blue. Offered in a limited run of just 150 examples, the Frozen editions also include a host of other special touches to help justify the $16,000 premium.

Is Chevy's retro Camaro not retro enough for your taste? Lingenfelter takes it back to 1969 with this custom body kit. The latest Chevrolet Camaro owes much of its popularity to its retro appeal, but Lingenfelter Performance Engineering thinks it can go even more retro. To that effect, the Chevy tuning specialist has launched a brand-new "Retrokit" to take its design back even closer to its roots. The Retrokit harkens back aesthetically to the classic 1969 model and comes in two styles: base and RS. Both include new front fascias with lower spoilers, chrome bumpers, grille assembly with SS badging, two headlight and lower running light assemblies and more.

Clever and sporty. That's what Novitec calls its latest tuning package, customizing the new Fiat Panda. Novitec may be best known for its Rosso division that tunes Ferraris, and the Tridente division that customizes Maseratis. But the German tuner also deals in Fiats and Alfa Romeos, and after the launch of the new Fiat Panda, has had its way with that, too. Although the Panda may not be one of the most exciting vehicles in the Fiat Group stable, it is one of the most popular. So customers looking for an added performance edge from their nimble little hatchback have where to turn.

Special city-car painted by an Italian artist to honor Pablo Picasso at an exhibit opening in Milan. BMW is known as one of the foremost patrons of art cars, commissioning numerous well-known artists to use its cars as their canvas. One painter the Bavarian automaker never got to work with, though, was Pablo Picasso. But this latest Renault art car aims to rectify that. Of course Picasso has long since passed, but to celebrate the launch of an exhibit showcasing the late Spanish painter's work in Milan, Italian artist Paolo Gonzato has painted this unique Renault Twizy in a Picasso-inspired motif.

Toyota's smallest pickup has unsurprisingly become a favorite of off-road racers. Most trucks are designed to be driven off-road, but trucks handle rocky and rugged terrain better than others. Case in point: the Toyota Tacoma. The iconic Taco has become a favorite of off-roaders looking for a dependable truck that won't take crap from even the roughest of terrain. The tuned Tacomas featured here are some of the most off-road-ready pickups around. These trucks aren't designed for speed-save for the Tacoma RTR-but they're more than capable of holding their own when the road gives way to the sand/desert. more at CarBuzz: Mitsubishi Rules Out New SportscarC/D Drives Koenigsegg Agera RFiat Panda by Novitec Oakley and Toyota teamed up to turn the Tacoma into the ultimate surfer's truck.

With 1,600 horsepower on tap, a new "Super Veyron" could hit 60 in 1.8 seconds, a top speed of 288 mph and the Frankfurt show floor next year. When Bugatti released the Veyron in 2005, it shattered the world's conception of what an automobile could do. But Bugatti wasn't done, following up in 2010 with the Veyron SuperSport, upping the output from the quad-turbo W16 engine from 987 horsepower to 1,200 and optimizing the aerodynamics to drive the top speed up from 253.8 mph to 267.8 (limited to "only" 258 in the customer version). But if the latest report from Automobile magazine proves accurate, Bugatti isn't satisfied leaving the Veyron's development there.

Ford's Brazilian truck subsidiary presents a new concept truck at the Sao Paulo Motor Show. We can't help but wonder if it could preview a new Bronco. Back in 2007, Ford do Brazil bought a small local off-road truck manufacturer called Troller. The company has been building Jeep Wrangler knock-offs and small pickup trucks since the mid-90s, but at the recent Sao Paolo Motor Show, Ford and Troller kicked things up a notch with the concept truck you see here. Called the TR-X, the concept vehicle looks something like a cross between a Wrangler and a Toyota FJ Cruiser, with brushed chrome and dark satin metal trim contrasting with metallic green bodywork.

McLaren's 12C takes to the streets of Senna and Fittipaldi's home town. McLaren is a British outfit through and through. But some would argue that its spiritual home is in Brazil. Among the bazillion grands prix it has won around the world, it has won the Brazilian Grand Prix more than any other team. It's also where its most famous driver, Aytron Senna, came from (not to mention its 1974 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi). So it may be only fitting that this latest promo video was shot in Brazil. Produced by local exotic car dealership Majestic, this clip puts two MP4-12C on the streets of Sao Paulo after hours. It also channels the spirit of (and recent popular documentary on) Ayrton Senna here and there. It's worth a watch, if only to see how the dealership locks down at night in violent crime-ridden South America. We could do with a little less dramatic choir music, though, and a bit more exhaust note.

The Agera R boasts one of the highest power-to-weight ratios in the business and can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds.
