Vatsayan on Wheels – A Car Design Inspired by Kamasutra!

12

kamasutra-car-motorcycle-combo Kamasutra and cars! Well, to most people, they may seem like two different things altogether but for one Indian car designer, Ramesh Gound, Kamasutra may just be an inspiration for (of all things possible) a motorcycle concept that’s also a car.

Winner of a competition on the theme ‘Luxury Car For India‘ held by designers associated with auto giants like Ferrari, Ford, GM, Jaguar and Fiat, Gound is currently enjoying an internship at the Pininfarina design firm in Italy. Now, this firm is a global name well known for its work for brands like Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, and Volvo.

“We were asked to define Indian contemporary luxury and how it is rooted in India. When I thought of what the world associates with India, it is Kamasutra that came to my mind. After studying Kamasutra, I realised its essence and my theme emerged — two objects coming together and moving in one direction with a force of passion,” said Gound.

He added, “My design is built on this essence, where the exteriors of the body curve and become part of the interiors of the car. It’s a two-seater car that has seats like a bike but with a back-rest”.

That acted as a catalyst in Gound’s design inspiration and the result was a design with two motorcycles coupling together to form a two-seater car. The flowing characteristics of Indian architecture and ethnicity peek through the aesthetics of the concept car. In motorcycle form, each of the component pieces would remind you of a no-frills sports bike. Converting the car is simple and requires the angling of the two bikes towards each other and locking them together.

Seems like a good concept, right. We think so too, however, there is one oddity in the design. When you are riding it as a car, you will have to face the opposite way. Confused? It is rather simple, actually. When you transform the two bikes in one car, the front wheels become the rear wheels of the car.

Wonder what the exhaust (if all it has one) of this amazing concept car would emit? For now, we would take a guess at ‘scandal’.

The other two winners of the ‘Luxury Car For India’ competition, Neerav Panchal and Shailendra Petwal, will be joining Gound at the Pininfarina design firm.

Panchal had always had a deep fascination with the Sidi Saiyed ki Jali, the intricate stone carving at an Ahmedabad mosque which has been adopted as the city’s symbol by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. So, its influence was rather evident in his car design.

“My inspiration was Indian architecture, where the roof of the car resembles a dome and the back door has a print of the carvings of the jaili. I call it Ratna, which can be a jewel on the Indian roads,” says Panchal.

“My design is inspired by the shape and the layers of the conch and depicts the Shant Ras from the Navrasas. The design has loose curves and spirals. The seat next to the driver can rotate and has a 180 degree incline, to give a feel like you are in your drawing room,” says Petwal.

AUDI A3 Meets ABT Sportsline

5

ABT_AS3_Cabrio_Front_CR_kl Volkswagen cars have a beauty of their own. When these cars happen to meet the creative minds at the ABT Sportsline, a real transformation takes place. And when we are talking about open-top Audis, the convertibles become “sensibly irrational”.

Car tuning has been the forte of ABT Sportsline and AUDI cars have always been their fascination. They have been responsible for creating Audi A5 Convertible. With new front grille, side sills, fender inserts and other bodywork parts make the Audi A5 an epitome of sportiness and power. ABT Sportsline has developed corresponding improvement designs for the different engines of the AUDI A5 to suit the appearance of the convertible. The top model, ABT A5, now has a 3.0 TFSI which can produce a full 435 BHP, as compared to the series-standard 333 BHP.

The AUDI A3 is a popular premium vehicle amongst the lovers of the open-top A3. But those who want the car to be extravagant and dynamic choose the ABT AS3 which is nothing but the A3 tuned by ABT Sportsline, with a perfect tailor-made body kit. The ABT A3 features rear apron, rear wing, the typical ABT 4-pipe rear muffler or the front spoiler insert. These features give the AUDI A3 a more extroverted and sporty appearance from all sides.

The performance of the cars has been improved, too, to match their appearances. The ABT engineers have worked well to improve the power of both the petrol (1.4 TFSI, 1.8 TFSI und 2.0 TFSI) versions as well as the two diesel engines. Just like the R8 Spyder, AS 5 convertible or S5 convertible, the new AS3 gets more power, torque and driving convenience. ABT has also brought a range of alloy wheels to adorn the AS3. Needless to say that ABT has also brought designer wheels in combination with fitting high-performance tyres.

ABT Sportline has been transforming the open-top creations of the Volkswagen Group into real outdoor sports car for quite some time now. “Our definition of the automobile summer is unmistakable design, dynamism and absolute compatibility with everyday life”, states Christian Abt from the ABT Sportsline. A seasoned racing driver, Christian Abt has contributed greatly for developments up to “road-ready” status at the company.

Leaf-Like Car by SAIC

6

SAIC-GM-Yez_Concept Car How would you define photosynthesis? We would call it a process in green plants, certain other organisms and green cars by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source. Most forms of photosynthesis release oxygen as a byproduct. Surprised about the twist in the definition?

Until recently, we were speaking of low-emission green cars. Then we even spoke of zero-emission automobiles. Now, we may have vehicles absorbing these emissions and giving out fresh oxygen. We finally have someone who has really thought out of the box. Chinese automaker Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation thought over the plants’ ability to photosynthesize and has come up with a newconcept car that could breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.

Designs of the photosynthesizing YeZ concept car were exposed at the recent Expo 2010 in Shanghai by SAIC, which has a partnership with General Motors in China. The leaf-like car is without doubt a ground-breaking concept. YeZ, pronounced “yea-zi” is Mandarin Chinese for “leaf”. It certainly is the most appropriate title that the open buggy-like vehicle can be christened as. The YeZ concept car even has its roof shaped just like a leaf.

YeZ-Concept-Car

However, technical details of the new car haven’t been spoken about yet. But as per a report in Xinhua, YeZ designer Ma Zhengkun has said that the roof will absorb solar energy and transform it into electricity. Meanwhile, the spinning rotors on the four wheels will also generate power from the wind. Amazing concept!

According to CNET Asia blogger Juniper Foo, the YeZ will be a two-seater car which would sport a metal-organic framework. This framework would work to absorb carbon dioxide and water, turning them into electricity that would get stored in a lithium-ion battery.

Coming up with this concept, SAIC has done a good job. This is not the first time we are hearing about the Chinese automaker though. Towards the end of last year, we had heard that the SAIC and General Motors had joined hands in India too and were exploring the viable options for them in the country. They were planning to launch an entry-level low-cost car which would help them get a foothold of the Indian car market.

saic-gm_yez_concept car

This joint partnership named as General Motors SAIC Investment Limited (GMSIL) was also looking at rolling out a compact car in India. The compact car would be placed below the Chevrolet Spark and would cost around Rs 2 Lakh. The first product, however, from the partnership in India would be a passenger minivan. The two partners also have plans of introducing other SAIC products including Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs).

Mercedes SLS AMG – The Most Attractive Car in Germany

5

2011-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Gullwing Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has been voted as the most attractive car by around 100,000 German readers of AUTO BILD magazine. The two-door super sports car got most votes than any other newly launched models. Trailing the super sports car was another one from Mercedes, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet. The Mercedes -Benz F 800 Style won the much sought-after “Studies & Concept Cars” award.

AUTO BILD is the most popular and largest automobile publication in Germany. For the past five years, the magazine has been conducting top-class automotive beauty pageant, AUTO BILD Design Awards, in Germany. This time around, there was a choice of 103 new products in five categories. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was crowned as the one on top of the newly launched models.

Mercedes-Benz Chief Designer Prof. Gorden Wagener: “Our vehicles are self-assured examples of refined sportiness. The SLS AMG, the E-Class Cabriolet and the F 800 Style exhibit the unmistakable style of Mercedes-Benz design, and set design trends for the future”.

The awards were ruled by the same German car manufacturing company last year as well. The readers gave first place to the E-Class Saloon as Germany’s most attractive car and the E-Class Coupe emerged as winner in its category.

Well, the scene would not be so different in India. The super sports car has got quite some fame for its unique design concept. What else could explain it better than the confirmed bookings that it has got since its launch at the 10th Auto Expo held in New Delhi!

Agreed that it is quite a car to be cruising around in but hold your breath till you have heard the price quote of the very desirable Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. While it is quite an affordable buy in the European countries, the import duties and other taxes will skyrocket the price of the SLS AMG in India. And if we are not on the same page regarding the affordability (or non-affordability) of the SLS AMG, here is the quote – Rs 5 crore onwards.

Piyush Arora, Mercedes-Benz India director, says, “The SLS AMG will be available in India in the third quarter, though a date for the official launch has not yet been determined.” He said that completely build units attract 120% duty on the price of the car. And the basic custom duty also will be no less than 106%.

But wait, the steep price of the SLS AMG has not dampened the spirits of the rich ones in India. According to sources, about half a dozen Indians have already booked the car.

Meanwhile, impressed by the Indian engineering talent, Mercedes is planning to set up a R&D centre in India. In the coming two years, Mercedes Benz will shift from component development to model development in India. The total investment for the R&D centre is expected to be close to Rs 150 crore. This means that the R&D manpower will increase threefold to 1200 engineers shifting from component development to model development in the course of two years.

Prof. Balasubramaniam, president of product innovations and process technologies, Group Research & Advanced Engineering at Daimler AG, said, “We see increase in the activity in the Indian R&D centre. This is not directly coupled with the additional sales or volumes. It depends much more on potential and talent in India and cost advantage that we have in India and we are ramping up in the coming years.”

Are You Ready to Drive the Change with Renault?

5

renault_fluence All of us know by now that Renault is looking for a partner to enter the electric car market in India. But that’s not all. Renault has real big plans for the Indian car industry. The French car maker has been creating a revolution in India. We say this because the Renault ad which appeared in leading English daily today says, Drive the Change. The car maker now wants many more to join the revolution of driving the change and joining in the success.

The $55 billion Renault Group has designed some of the most stunning, innovative, safe and environmentally friendly cars the world over. In fact, Renault has over 110 years of automotive experience and a presence in over 118 countries, with manufacturing facilities in 18 countries. Now, the car maker is all set to capture the Indian market armed with global expertise and revolutionary creations.

It is now official that Renault has drawn up a robust plan to launch a new car in each segment in India in the near future. The car maker has invested over Rs. 5,000 Crore to set up a state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering facility in Chennai. It will first bring in the Fluence sedan to lure the Indian crowd. Renault, along with its Japanese partner Nissan, will launch this car in India next year. Renault has a 44 per cent in the partnership. The Chennai plant with the 400,000-units-a-year capacity will build this car. The plant will also manufacture Nissan’s Micra and Renault’s Koleos.

The electric variant of the Fluence will initially be launched in Israel and Denmark. Betterplace has been the preferred choice for infrastructure support in Israel and Denmark. And now, we know for sure that this car will soon find its way on the Indian roads. As mentioned earlier, Renault has been inviting everybody to join the revolution. The car maker is looking for entrepreneurs who need to have just one quality that Renault possesses – Passion. That’s it. If you have the passion you too can drive the change.

Renault is looking for dealers. Renault promises that by being its business partner, one will soon realize that like driving a Renault, selling it is just the same. The experience is going to be smooth. The attractive ad that Renault has published in a leading newspaper also says that experience in automobile trade is not mandatory. So, are you ready to drive the change? If yes, just go ahead and contact Renault.

We are not sure as to how far Renault’s alliance search for the electric car in India has reached. Of late, there has been no discussion about the matter. However, we wish Renault all the best in all its endeavors; especially in bringing a new car in every segment in the Indian car market. May the French auto giant prosper in India too and may it find as many dealers ready to join in as it wishes to drive the change.

Suzuki Kizashi Bags AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Award

7

2010_suzuki_kizashi AutoPacific has announced the results of its 14th Annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA). And the vehicle that registered the highest overall satisfaction in 2010 is none other but the all new Suzuki Kizashi. Suzuki Kizashi is likely to hit the Indian roads by the end of this financial year. The Kizashi scored 99 points more than the industry average and got placed first among the 2010-model year vehicles in the survey carried by the AutoPacific.

“This is an amazing win for Suzuki,” says George Peterson, president of AutoPacific. He added, “The Kizashi is Suzuki’s most important vehicle, and this performance in our research is exceptional.” The truck or SUV with the highest overall satisfaction score is the Lincoln MKT, scoring 94 points above industry average.”

“While the auto industry is showing signs of improvement, more than ever before, manufacturers need to be able to differentiate themselves. Proof of satisfied customers is as good as gold,” He said. “We’ve found that more than 25 per cent of new car buyers are positively influenced by owner-based awards like the VSA when deciding on a new car or truck.”

Not many of us know about the AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Awards. So, let us just give you a few specifics about it. AutoPacific is a future-oriented automotive marketing and product-consulting company. And every year, it publishes a number of syndicated studies on the automotive industry. Not only that, the firm also conducts research and consulting services for global auto manufacturers, distributors, marketers and suppliers.

The AutoPacific awards show how satisfied owners are with his/her new car. The survey includes the results of more than 42,000 new vehicle owners.

“Vehicles that score highest in the Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are delivering value and satisfaction across a wide range of attributes,” says Peterson. “The winners perform well in 48 separate categories that objectively measure the ownership experience.”

Various international car manufacturers have bagged some awards too. Significant among them are Ford with seven wins, Toyota with four wins, General Motors, Honda, and Nissan with three wins each.

“As we cautiously emerge from this economic crisis, new vehicle buyers are being especially careful, and the data we’ve analysed for the Vehicle Satisfaction Award will help this year’s customers make wise purchase decisions,” says Peterson.

Volkswagen May Enter Formula One With or Porsche or Audi

10

Volkswagen F1 Well, who are we going to see next in the Formula One garages? Any guesses! Ok fine, enough of suspense already, so we will break the news. It is the German car manufacturer Volkswagen who is planning a foray into the coveted motor sports arena with its Audi or Porsche brands.

Apparently, Volkswagen has no plans of launching a Mercedes-like works team. The German carmaker giant wants to enter the sport as an engine supplier. But that would happen only after FIA gives green signal to the much hyped ‘world engine’ for 2013.

Audi F1

As for the branding of the project, VW’s motor racing boss Kris Nissen said: “Within the group, for sure, it could be Audi, it could be Porsche and might also be Volkswagen. “I think it would not suit so well Skoda or Seat or Bentley,” he is quoted as saying at last weekend’s Nurburgring 24 Hour race.

“I think we have been quite involved,” he explained. “We’ve had a lot of meetings about new engine regulations together with the FIA and all the organizations. When I say ‘we’ I mean the Volkswagen Group – Volkswagen and Audi and also Porsche has been involved.”

The current discussion, regarding a new engine formula for 2013 Formula One, is about a probable 1.5 litre turbocharged 4-cylinder and a powerful KERS. But, so it has been rumoured, the world engine concept has not found popularity among the F1′s existing manufacturers. A world engine would mean that an engine which can be used across multiple types of racing in contrast with the purpose-built engine supplied by the manufacturers now. And that would result in less business for the manufacturers.

The FIA is working hard for getting smaller turbocharged engines for the 2013 season, and looks keen on enhancing the fuel efficiency of the current 2.4 litre V8 designs. Gilles Simon, Ferrari’s former engine boss, now working with the FIA said that F1 should “push forward with fuel efficiency”.

“If, as an engine engineer, I am given a maximum fuel load, I will try to give the driver the maximum horsepower possible, building the most efficient engine I can,” he said.

Porsche_Formula-1

Volkswagen has never competed in Formula One before. It currently has teams in the Dakar Rally. The company recently returned to Formula Three as an engine supplier. Volkswagen has some very good award winning engines and the engine currently being chosen for the “world engine” concept is along the same build lines as the one in some of the Volkswagen models.

Volkswagen has strong affiliations with Austrian energy drink company Red Bull. The two firms have been lending support to each other in a number of motorsport events including the Dakar Rally. So we guess, when VW would most likely be an engine supplier to Red Bull Racing and its sister team, Toro Rosso.

Will the CNG Price Hike Affect Car Sales?

13

CNG We had the natural gas prices shooting up just the other day. If that was bad news, there’s something more. Compressed natural gas (CNG) prices too are expected to shoot up by around 20 per cent. This is going to affect everybody in a big way. The bus and auto-rickshaw fares are definitely going to rise. What’s more disheartening is that the demand for CNG cars may drastically reduce. However, in the long run, industry experts feel that the CNG cars would continue to sell.

“In the short term, higher CNG prices might cause a slump in demand as customers re-evaluate fitment costs and the cost of running CNG-fitted cars vis-à-vis a petrol or a diesel vehicle,” said Rakesh Batra, national head (automotive practice), Ernst & Young. While the sales of retrofitted CNG variants of Aveo, Logan, Accent, Santro, Corolla Altis and Innova are already diminutive, the increase in CNG prices is surely going to go as a slap on the face for those involved in the sale of these cars. The carmakers who were wearing the green car theme are going to get de-motivated.

The companies offer the variant as part of an expansion to their product portfolio of green vehicles in India. Currently, CNG variants contribute around five-seven per cent to the total sales of their respective models. This is mainly because of inadequate infrastructure in the country, so much so, that car makers like GM India have restricted sale of the CNG-fitted Chevrolet Aveoto only Ahmedabad, Delhi and Mumbai.

In Delhi, CNG is currently available for Rs 21.9 a kg. After the 20 per cent rise, it will cost Rs 26.28 a kg. Luckily, that would still be less expensive in comparison with petrol and diesel which are priced at Rs 47.93 and Rs 38.10 a litre, respectively. According to Vishnu Mathur, director general, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, auto-rickshaw and bus fares are expected to go up immediately. “The impact on cars will depend on the change in overall operational cost of the vehicle,” he added. “However, since the gap between the cost of petrol and CNG per litre would narrow, the purchase decision would be more calculative,” he said.

About 680,000 Lakh CNG cars and autos, 12,000 buses and around 700 CNG trucks run on the Indian roads. “CNG would continue to be far cheaper than other fuel options. I don’t think CNG vehicles would be any less attractive in the future,” said R C Bhargava, chairman, Maruti Suzuki India. P Balendran, vice president, GM India, said: “Despite any quantum of hike, CNG will be a success. There will be no major impact on demand, as the overall operational cost of these vehicles will continue to be less that their petrol counterparts. We too hope that the prices do not affect the CNG sales in any way.

“Collision Warning with Auto Brake” System Fails, And So Does Volvo

2

Volvo wanted to show off its latest technology, the new collision detection system on the S60, and a media presentation scene was set, top international journalists and media companies were glued to their seats with camera poised for the action and wham! The Volvo S60 crashed, just like that. What do we call it? Anti-climax redefined?

VolvoS60crash

Well, sometime back this is what Volvo had said about the system, “Volvo’s new Collision Warning with Auto Brake automatically brakes the car if there is an imminent risk of a collision with a moving or stationary vehicle. The system starts by alerting the driver and preparing the braking system for emergency braking. If the driver does not respond despite the warning, the brakes are applied automatically.”

The Swedish car maker wanted to make a big deal of the 2011 S60 sedan’s unique safety technology, Collision Warning with Auto Brake, and show the world how it worked. So, they started the car’s journey towards a parked truck at around 35km/h. The Auto Brake system should have sensed the object and stopped the car but it failed and the S60 rammed into the truck’s rear-end.

Volvo had not used a real person to drive the car; so luckily, no one was injured in the mishap.

The Swedish car manufacturer is well-known for making the safest cars in the world, and the Volvo S60, too, comes loaded with some great safety features. Along with the collision warning system, there is an optional pedestrian safety system that uses a camera and radar system. This system recognizes people, up to 10 at a time, distinguishes the nearest one, and brings the car to a complete halt from 25 mph to avoid a collision, even if the driver does not press the brakes. At higher speeds, the car slows down to reduce the impact of the collision. Sounds very safe, right? But may be that’s it about the car, it just sounds safe.

Additionally, there is a lane departure system too, which alerts the driver if the car runs across the lane markers without the turn indicator being used.

So how does Volvo explain the failure of the Collision Warning system in the S60? Does it plead guilty? Volvo has claimed that the pre-production test car “suffered as the result of a human error in preparation” and that the car’s battery went kaput, adding that “had a human been driving, he or she would have noticed the system was not operating correctly.”

What do you have to say, readers. Will the failure of the S60’s Collision Warning systems shadow its future?

Mercedes SLS AMG May Cost Rs 5-6 Crore

18

mercedes-sls-amg After being showcased at the 10th Auto Expo held in New Delhi, car fanatics in India went crazy about this hot model. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was showcased in the Mercedes Benz pavilion under the concept of ‘Pure Fascination’, and yes, it stood by the name. The fascination was so great, that by February 2010 itself, the model had bagged five confirmed bookings. It was known as the Rs 2-Crore SLS AMG. But this idea can be wrong. Prospective buyers, think again! The two-door sizzler can make you shell out Rs 5-6 Crore. The price tag of the luxury car could be much more in India than in Europe because of import duty and other taxes.

“The SLS will be available in India in the third quarter, though a date for the official launch has not yet been determined,” said Piyush Arora, Mercedes-Benz India director (technical) and board member. He indicated that the price of the sports car could be around Rs 5-6 Crore. That’s a mighty sum. Given the heavy duty import structure on completely-built-units, owning the 6208 cc coupe would be a tall order. A CBU attracts 120 per cent duty on the car’s price, of which basic customs duty alone would be around 106 per cent, the remaining falling under countervailing (CVD) and additional duties, said Abdul Majeed, PricewaterhouseCoopers leader, auto practice.

The SLS AMG with its aluminum spaceframe body and gullwing doors is indeed a blissful package. The hand-produced engine follows the ‘one man, one engine’ principle. The 6.3-litre V8 front-mid-engine builds up a peak output of 571 bhp and 650 Nm of torque. The seven-speed double-declutch transmission in a transaxle configuration, sports suspension with aluminums double wishbones and a kerb weight of 1620 kilograms based on the DIN standard guarantees driving dynamics of the highest order.

The front/rear weight distribution of 47 to 53 per cent and the vehicle’s low centre of gravity guarantee outstanding performance. The gullwing model leaps from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of 317 km/h. The 7.5 km/litre mileage is also one of the best in the competitive line-up. Innovative joining techniques are used in the lightweight spaceframe of the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG, which tips the scales at only 241 kg.

The right-hand drive Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is expected to get to the streets of Germany in July and exports to India are expected to begin soon after. At least six cars have already been booked by sports car lovers across India. At times, we wonder if people are so rich that they have enough and more cash to flaunt and sometimes we wonder if people can be so crazy about these exotic luxury cars. Around 30-40 per cent of the sales have been coming from the northern region and Mercedes expects bulk of the sales for the SLS AMG from there. Mercedes may begin shipment of the new car earlier than six months, the time it took to launch the E-Class in India.

If we have a look at the growth curve of the luxury sports car segment in India, it shows a sharp line moving upwards. “The Indian luxury car market is around 10,000 cars a year. However, with the economy getting stronger and purchase power and aspirations of buyers also rising, this size will also rise eventually,” added Mr Majeed.
