AUTO
EXPO-2014
The 2014 auto expo promises to be more than
just a big show. It has moved to a new venue that is further away which was
expected to bring a smaller but more focused crowd to the stand. On the other
hand, it was looking like it will be one of the best attended editions of the
Delhi- based show with only a handful of manufacturers staying away. Then came
the long list of launches, debuts, reveals and more that are ensuring that the
buzz around the biennial show has never been greater. There were some new launches
in the auto expo-2014 as given below:
BMW-i8 -The radical hybrid sports car on display and the BMW will put it
on sale in India soon. The car is BMW’s
take on what a true hybrid sport car should be. The mid engine, 4.7 m long i8
uses a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) shell on a welded all-aluminum
chassis. The car uses a new 3 cylinder 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine
that sends 232PS of powers to the rear wheels, with an added 133PS power from
lition-ion electric motor going to the front. The top speed is restricted to
249kmph while BMW claims a 0-100kmph in 4.4 seconds and an efficiency of
50kmpl.
Mercedes
S-class –Mercedes has revealed the top of the line
S-class, the S600 at the auto expo. The S600 has a 537 PS bi-turbo V12 engine
which also makes a huge 830 Nm of torque. This high- pressure fuel injected
engine comes with two turbochargers and Mercedes claims a 0-100kmph run in 4.6
seconds with an electronically limited speed of 250kmph. The S600 also has an
outlook towards the fuel efficiency. Mercedes claims that big S class will do
nearly 11kmpl, a 21 % improvement over its predecessor. Helping it achieve this
fuel efficiency is the standard ECO start/stop and the lower kerbweight.
