2013 Mercedes S-Class
With falling sales and stiff competition from the BMW 7-Series and the Audi A8, Mercedes is looking to revamp its S-Class line for 2013. Recent spy shots have revealed a sightly longer model with the hood and the wheelbase getting additional length. All new LED daytime running lights and indicators have also been spotted and appear at the top of the headlights as opposed to the side. Expect the new S-Class to get styling cues from the 2010 Mercedes F800 Style Concept which would mean sharper lines and possibly, a new front radiator grille.
As far as power is concerned, expect modified versions of the Mercedes’ current lineup; a twin turbo 46L V8 producing 429 HP, a twin turbo 5.5L V12 delivering 510 HP, and an AMG twin turbo 5.5L V8 getting between 536 HP and 550 HP. Mercedes’ Head of Research and Development, Dr. Thomas Weber, has previously revealed that the new S-Class will also feature a plug-in variant modeled after the 2010 Vision S500 Plug-In Hybrid Concept. This would mean that the new hybrid would be powered by a powerful direct injected V6 engine and a 60 HP electric hybrid module run on a next generation lithium ion battery pack. The Vision S500 was able to translate this setup into a 0 to 60 MPH sprint time of 5.5 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 MPH, all while achieving 74 mpg!
Hero Honda is now Hero MotoCorp
Finally July 29, 2011 marked the beginning of a new era in the world of motorcycles in India when the legendary Hero Honda get itself acquainted itself with new identity as Hero MotoCorp after getting final approval from Registrar of Companies to change its name. Since the termination of joint venture between Hero Group and Honda group both the companies were in process of establishing their independent flagships. Launched almost 25 years back under the joint venture Hero Honda Bikes brought a new revolution in the Indian bike market by breaking the dominance of erstwhile bikes like Yezdi and Rajdoot and dominated the Indian market successfully for a long period.
Though the joint venture between both the groups was supposed to get mature in 2014 but due to some internal conflicts between the groups arising as the result of Honda group trying to establish its independent identity in Indian market, both the groups decided to terminate contract before the maturity period by Hero group taking over the 26% of Honda’s stake in joint venture. As the part of joint venture Hera groups was technically dependent on Honda group but now after the separation both the companies will now be contender to each other standing on the same floor.
Taking a step ahead of establishing its own identity Hero group has already hired the services of famous brand innovating specialist Wolff Olnis, to design the new logo of the company and also to work on its visibility on products. There are rumours that Hero group is planning to launch its new brand in London on August 9, 2011.
Overwhelmed with revitalizing progress Mr. Pawan Munjal, Managing Director and CEO Hero Group said that getting the new name for group is the first step towards establishing company’s dominance in two wheeler industry. He further added that it will mark the start of new period in terms of innovations in technology, product development and customer satisfaction. It will help company to expand its boundaries to global market.
New Yamaha R15 coming on Sep 6
Craze for Yamaha bikes can be best witnessed at a time when any new variant from Yamaha Bikes is expected to make its debut in the market. Expected to make its debut in the Indian two wheeler market on September 6, 2011, the New Yamaha R15 2.0 or the modified edition of existing New Yamaha YZF R15 has already made Yamaha aspirants crazy. Since the time of its launch announcement, the crowd has approached the Yamaha dealers to know about its features and specifications. There are also rumors that some Yamaha dealers have even started the booking for new Yamaha R15 at the payment of INR 1000/-. The existing Yamaha R15 or Yamaha YZF R15 price in is Rs 97425.
On the other hand there are some dealers who are still waiting for the official announcement of starting the bookings for New Yamaha R15 by Yamaha Motor India. However whatever the situation is the truth is that the proposed buyers of New Yamaha R15 won’t worry even if the amount they are paying for booking new Yamaha R15 is unofficial. The New Yamaha R15 is considered as the modified version of existing New Yamaha YZF R15. The major changes introduced in Yamaha R15 include the change in swing arm and the chassis which is visible at the rear. The thing which remains unchanged in New Yamaha R15 as compared to New Yamaha YZF R15 is the twin headlamps which is same as in the erstwhile model. Whereas the raised rear end with splitted seat makes the New Yamaha R15 a more stylish motorcycle.
Though from the beginning Yamaha R15 is always been considered as the baggage filled with unmatched features and now when New Yamaha R15 is expected as the modified version the expectations are obviously high. Moreover when it is already rumoured that it is designed more sportier and is made more powerful to deliver powerful performance it can be speculated that the New Yamaha R15 will set new standards in the Indian bike market. At present we just hope and wish that Yamaha Motors price will be affordable and more or less same as the existing Yamaha R15.
