Indian Auto Expo by Varun

At the 2014 Indian Auto Expo, Hyundai has displayed its new HND-9 Venace Coupe Concept. This concept had been unveiled earlier at the Seoul Motor Show. It is said that the HND-9 Venace shows the next generation design philosophy of Hyundai. This luxury Coupe Concept shows the future of Hyundai in the sports car segment, which will feature the company’s updated Fluidic sculpture and Design.This new Hyundai vehicle gets aggressive taillights, 22-inch alloy wheels, butterfly doors as well as a hexagonal front grille. These are said to be some of the major highlights of this new concept vehicle. The Hyundai HND-9 Venace Coupe Concept measures 1890mm in width, 4696mm in length and 1340mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2860mm. The concept car is expected to be powered by a 3.3-litre gasoline engine that is capable of producing power up to 360bhp. The power of the engine gets transmitted to the rear wheels through the 8 speed auto transmission.

Worth mentioing here is that GM India has always been known to showcasing its high-performance cars at the Auto Expo and to the best of our knowledge, the auto manufacturer currently has no plans of launching any of its performacnce cars in our country.Many of you car aficionados would remember that at Auto Expo 2012 too, the car maker displayed the older Camaro SS and while there were plenty of rumors suggesting that the tasty looking car is on its way to our country, the carmaker never actually launched the famous muscle car in India. Instead, what we got were family oriented vehicles such as the Sail and the Enjoy.
Powering the new 2014 Camaro ZL1 is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that has a max power of 580 hp at 6,000 rpm and peak torque of 753 Nm at 4,200 rpm. All this power is sent to rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. The ZL1 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and has a top whack of 296 km/h.For the US market, the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 prices start from USD 55,055.
