<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The innovative 8-cylinder berlinetta debuts at Geneva: new design, new engine and a plethora of patented solutions</span></strong></blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari 488 GTB sets a new benchmark for the sports car sector. Forty years on from the launch of Ferrari’s iconic first-ever mid-rear-engined V8 berlinetta, the 308 GTB, the Ferrari 488 GTB opens a new chapter in the history of cars with this particular architecture.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Credit for this achievement must go to the Ferrari 488 GTB’s revolutionary proprietary solutions which deliver a car at the top of its class in terms of power output (670 cv) with engine and response times of just 0.8 and 0.06 seconds respectively. Sophisticated dynamic vehicle controls make this performance completely controllable even on the limit by drivers of all abilities, resulting in the unique driving pleasure that only a Ferrari can deliver.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ferrari drew extensively on its experience in both Formula One and endurance racing, bringing to the road the technology that delivered victory in two editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the title in the WEC (World Endurance Championship). Also pivotal was the XX programme in which Ferrari’s technicians have developed a unique knowledge of the dynamic behaviour of extreme cars driven by non-professional drivers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 488 in the car’s moniker indicates the engine’s unitary displacement, while the GTB stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta, a reference to its deep roots in Ferrari history.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Extreme power was a requisite for the car and is delivered by the new 3902 cc turbo engine coupled to a seven-gear F1 dual-clutch gearbox featuring Variable Boost Management which optimally distributes torque (a maximum 760 Nm in seventh gear). The Ferrari 488 GTB guarantees exuberant performance that is absolutely exploitable to the fullest regardless of driving conditions and is accompanied by a deep, seductive soundtrack, the signature of all Ferrari engines.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Ferrari 488 GTB’s revolutionary aerodynamics incorporate patented solutions, such as the blown rear spoiler, as well as innovative features like the 458 GT-derived aerodynamic underbody with vortex generators. The result is a new efficiency record for a Ferrari (E=1.67). Downforce increases to 325 kg at 250 km/h, thanks in part to active aerodynamic devices which reduce drag whilst simultaneously generating downforce when required.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Ferrari 488 GTB’s dynamic vehicle controls have also been further evolved. It sports a new version of the Side Slip Control System (SSC2) which, aside from just integrating with the car’s F1-Trac and E-Diff, now also controls the active dampers. This renders the Ferrari 488 GTB’s dynamic behaviour during complex manoeuvres even flatter and more stable, so that less expert drivers can enjoy its potential to the fullest, resulting in an extremely thrilling driving experience.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the Ferrari 488 GTB’s sculptural forms are completely new. They accentuate the car’s sportiness yet retain the classically clean, pure lines typical of Ferrari’s legendary styling. The seamless interweaving of form and function is clear in every detail, in fact. Certain design elements also draw on styling cues from the past, not least the 308 GTB-inspired scalloped flanks.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Ferrari 488 GTB makes its debut in a new Rosso Corsa Met livery with black and red technical fabric cabin trim, and in a Grigio Ferro Met livery with black and Beige Tradizione leather interior trim.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the subject of extreme performance, also featuring on the stand is the F12berlinetta which is the most powerful car in the Ferrari range, courtesy of its 740 cv V12 engine and transaxle architecture. It continues to enjoy such enormous success worldwide that in certain countries the waiting list is over a year long.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two versions of the F12berlinetta are on show in Geneva: the first sports the now-traditional triple-layer Rosso Maranello livery with a leather interior and carbon-fibre trim, while the second is a Tailor Made homage to the Ecurie Francorchamps team, specifically the 250 GTO that won the 1964 Tour de France. It is in the same Argento Auteil colour as the latter with a triple-layer yellow racing cross-stripe on its bonnet.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Tailor Made programme, Ferrari’s exclusive personalisation service, now boasts over 450 new materials which are homologated for automotive use for the first time.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Alongside the sports cars are the GTs: the California T coupé-cabriolet in an elegant two-tone Nero Stellato and Grigio Brunito livery complemented by a Tortora cabin is joined by the four-seater, four-wheel-drive FF in modern Bianco Italia with a Sterling interior. Both models feature CarPlay, the simplest, safest and most entertaining way to use your iPhone in the car. CarPlay is incredibly intuitive and offers phone, map, music and message access by either voice control or a tap of the central display. The system is enjoying particular popularity on the FF where it has been specified by half of all clients ordering it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also on the stand is the Formula One single-seater which pays fitting testimony to Ferrari’s inextricable links to motorsport on the eve of the new season.</span></div>

Created to defy conventional thinking about the luxury GT segment, the DBX Concept widens the appeal of the iconic British luxury brand and reaches out to a more diverse global audience than ever before.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Unveiling the concept, Aston Martin CEO Dr Andy Palmer said: “The DBX Concept is a challenge to the existing status quo in the high luxury GT segment. It envisages a world, perhaps a world not too far away, when luxury GT travel is not only stylish and luxurious but also more practical, more family-friendly and more environmentally responsible.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
“I asked my team at Aston Martin to expand their thinking beyond conventions, to explore what the future of luxury GT motoring would look like in years ahead, and the DBX Concept you see before you is the result.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Dr Palmer added: “This is, clearly, not a production-ready sports GT car, but it is a piece of fresh, bold thinking about what Aston Martin GT customers around the world could request of us in the future.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
“The DBX Concept is more than a thought starter for us and for our customers, though. We will, in due course, be entering a car into the new DBX space and I am very much looking forward to seeing how this concept is received not only here today, but also by our legion of existing loyal customers and by those potential customers around the world who have, to this point, yet to consider one of our cars.”</div>

Imagined by Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman and his team at the brand’s global headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire, the all-electric DBX Concept showcases not only cutting edge engineering but also a major evolution of the British brand’s world-renowned and highly-regarded design language.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Clearly signalling an extension to the brand’s existing model lines in the future, the all-wheel drive DBX Concept seamlessly combines traditional Aston Martin beauty with elegant new engineering that gracefully aligns form and function.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Capable of accommodating four adults in comfort, the DBX Concept also majors on day-to-day practicality. It offers generous luggage capacity by virtue of the fact that its rear trunk and forward load bay can both accept passengers’ belongings.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Opulence and cutting edge style go hand-in-hand in the DBX Concept thanks to a unique fusion of high luxury and advanced technology. These characteristics, allied to the ingenious use of unconventional materials and finishes inside and out, are calculated to further broaden the appeal of Aston Martin.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
The concept’s exterior bright work emphasises the brand’s approach to the use of authentic materials, and is made up of machined billet aluminium with visible milling lines in a piece of exquisite craftsmanship intended to be seen as the car’s jewellery. The DBX Concept’s unique paint finish – Black Pearl Chromium – has been specially created to mimic the look of a genuine black pearl, and comprises a micro-fine layer of chrome to deliver a level of reflectivity that cannot be obtained through normal paint finishes.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Inside, the deliberate use of non-automotive standard materials generates a uniquely soft, cocooning ambience. The extensive application of velvet-like Nubuck leather contrasts with the concept’s hard, hi-tech equipment. The exposed leather reveals a sandwiched accent layer, more akin to high-end furniture, while the car’s interior bright ware matches that of the exterior with the addition of a gold ‘pin striping’ element on the edging.</div>

Marek Reichman explained: “The exceptional craftsmanship, with detailing more typically seen on luxury consumer goods or fine jewellery, gives the DBX Concept genuinely global appeal.”</div>

Embracing the very latest engineering techniques and theories, the DBX Concept needs no engine compartment thanks to its use of electric, inboard-of-wheel, motors powered by lithium sulphur cells.</div>

Drive-by-wire electric steering, toughened glass with an auto-dimming ‘smart glass’ inter-layer, and bespoke driver and passenger head-up displays are further examples of its cutting edge technology.</div>

Active LED exterior lights, carbon ceramic brakes with a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) and rear view cameras in place of conventional mirrors also underline the mould-breaking nature of this luxury GT concept.</div>

Dr Palmer explained: “A concept car such as this should, in my view, challenge conventional thinking and explore the art of the possible. In the DBX Concept, I believe we have created a new type of luxury car that can not only broaden the appeal of Aston Martin to a whole new generation of customers, but sit with pride alongside the rest of our range."</div>

The global unveiling of the Aston Martin DBX Concept in Switzerland today signals a key change in the brand’s thinking, as Dr Palmer challenges his team to re-evaluate and expand the high luxury GT sector in the years ahead.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Dr Palmer said: “The Geneva show this year marks the first public signs of a revolution at Aston Martin – a revolution we’re calling ‘<em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Second Century</em>’.</div>

“While the exceptional new Aston Martin Vulcan track-only supercar and Vantage GT3 special edition road car represent a take on our immediate future, the exciting DBX Concept is Aston Martin’s first public statement about how the high luxury GT sector could, and in our view should, evolve in the years to come.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
He added: “The DBX Concept is our view on ‘the art of the possible’ for Aston Martin. DBX may be seen as challenging and perhaps even revolutionary in some quarters – but it is not science fiction. I can confirm today that we will in the future be offering a car in the new DBX space.”</div>

Having marked his first 150 days as CEO last week, Dr Palmer is using his first major global motor show at the head of the 102-year-old sports car maker to showcase his comprehensive strategy for the ongoing growth and development of the renowned British brand. The plan will ensure Aston Martin is secure and successful in its second century and Dr Palmer detailed the developmental and organisational actions that will underpin continued success.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Dr Palmer revealed Aston Martin’s regional office structure is also being enhanced this year with a new office for Asia-Pacific opening in Singapore, a new trading company in Japan and the brand’s European presence strengthened at its regional headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
The company is continuing to invest in progressive expansion of its geographical coverage. Today, Aston Martin is present in 45 markets worldwide, served by 155 top class dealer partners.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
There is also important news in Geneva about the expansion of the recently-unveiled Lagonda Taraf super-saloon to markets outside the Middle East. Dr Palmer confirmed that the luxurious new car will be available in the EU, and EU-regulation compliant markets. He also revealed that buyers in the UK, and other right-hand drive markets, will now be able to order the Lagonda Taraf.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">

This year, the brand will expand its popular and growing bespoke personalisation service – Q by Aston Martin – and fully integrate it into the company’s Special Products Division. The new business unit will be able to deliver anything from unique interiors to creating the DB10 that will feature in the next James Bond film.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Many of the sports cars built at Gaydon feature elements of Q by Aston Martin content, and the opportunity to grow that further is clear as the brand focuses even more intently on personalised customer service.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
Dr Palmer said: “Often cynics dismiss talk of a ‘new era’ in any business as hype but I know the cars we have on show here today at Geneva, along with the major work that’s ongoing in the UK and around the world to re-tool and re-equip our business for the exciting times ahead, more than merits the use of the phrase.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Classico Regular', Optima, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; orphans: 3; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 3;">
“Aston Martin has a proud 102-year heritage of luxury sports cars and, with the exciting plans we now have in place that put customers once again at the very heart of our thinking and our operations, I’m confident it will continue to shine as a luxury business in the decades ahead.”</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Polaris India introduced the
Indian Motorcycle® in India early this year. Indian Motorcycle® is an iconic
brand that gained immense popularity across world geography. In April 2011,
Polaris Industries acquired Indian Motorcycle® and in July 2013, it unveiled
the all-new range of Indian motorcycles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Since the April 2011
acquisition of Indian Motorcycle by Polaris Industries, the company has made an
unprecedented commitment of time, resources and passion into the design of the
all-new power plant. From the outset, the goal was to capture the iconic design
and styling aspects of the 113-year old brand’s most historic model and fuse
that heritage with state-of-the-art technology and progressive design elements.
The new design reflects an unparalleled investment into researching the
complete history of Indian Motorcycle® power train development.</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new <a href="http://www.ktm.com/in/supersport/rc-390/highlights.html"><span style="color: #ff6600; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">KTM RC 390</span></a> hits
the street with a purpose to reflect KTM`s fast forward attitude and the
company´s DNA in a perfect and global way. Never before a full faired
sportmotorcycle stepped into the segment with more quality, refinement and lap
time potential.<br />
<br />
Distinguished by first-rate, high-tech components, the road legal racer has a
superior power-to-weight ratio, unprecedented agility and capable of extreme
lean angles to be able to out-handle whatever the daily race can throw at it.<br />
<br />
The flagship RC series machine follows on from the huge success of the <a href="http://www.ktm.com/in/naked-bike/390-duke/390-duke.html"><span style="color: #ff6600; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">KTM 390 DUKE</span></a> naked
machine it shares its powerplant with, but with an all-new chassis, riding
position and Grand Prix-inspired bodywork has increased focus on sports
performance.<br />
<br />
<b>New chassis<br />
</b>With a more sporty focus requires a new chassis to match the RC’s
intentions. Though physically similar in appearance to the proven steel trellis
frame of the DUKE, the RC’s geometry is critically different in order to fully
live up to the ergonomics and riding characteristics of a genuine racer. A steeper
steering head, shorter trail and shorter wheelbase give the
RC 390 a playful handling, true racetrack capability but – importantly –
perfect stability at any speed.<br />
<br />
Further differences that set the RC apart from its naked counterpart are
changes to the WP Suspension; less traveland firmer, aggressive
damping characteristics. At 43mm, the amply sized upside down front forks
have the same diameter stanchions as those of the <a href="http://www.ktm.com/in/supersport/1190-rc8-r-eu/highlights.html"><span style="color: #ff6600; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">KTM 1190 RC8 R</span></a> Superbike
and add genuine racing equipment to ensure maximum stability and precision.<br />
<br />
<b>Strong engine<br />
</b>Set within the orange matrix of steel is the same highly sophisticated,
powerful and reliable engine as the 390 DUKE. The short-stroked, liquid-cooled
DOHC four-valve 375cc single boasts 44hp and 35Nm and is mastered by
the RC’s electronic fuel injection to deliver incredible response, robust power
delivery and great refinement; perfect conditions for a true racing feel,
combined with convincing real-world credibility.<br />
<br />
<b>High-tech components<br />
</b>Developed together with Brembo, the braking system includes
a four-piston radially mounted caliper biting down hard on a 300mm front disc
backed up by Bosch ABS as standard – an unparalleled quality feature
in this segment for maximum safety. At 110/70 ZR17 front and 150/60 ZR17, even
the Metzeler tyres have a racing size format.<br />
<br />
<b>READY TO RACE<br />
</b>Further proving this new machine’s racetrack qualities are tomorrow’s
MotoGP pilots who are exploiting the ‘CUP’ version of the RC 390 this season to
fight for points and podiums in the German ADAC Junior Cup. These
identical bikes are making for thrilling racing and are fitted with a wide
range of track-focussed accessories from the official <a href="http://www.ktm.com/in/parts-wear/powerparts.html"><span style="color: #ff6600; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">KTM PowerParts</span></a> catalogue;
parts that are also available for the street RC rider to enhance their machine
amongst a huge array of other customisation for the RC.<br />
<br />
Available from the end of September onwards the RC 390 is ready to write an
important chapter for the Austrian-based brand – with an outstanding
sportmotorcycle that is ready to inspire riders all over the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

KTM offers a bike that introduces the sheer thrill of sports bike riding but
delivered in a package that is rewarding for all levels of rider experience and
many riding situations.<br />
<br />
Never before has a full-faired sportmotorcycle stepped into the segment with
more quality, refinement and sports potential. In typical KTM style, the RC 200

establishing itself as KTM’s biggest selling lower capacity street motorcycle,
the new RC series machine look set to follow on from the naked machine’s huge
popularity. Sharing the same exciting – yet efficient – engine, the RC receives
an all-new chassis, riding position and Grand Prix-inspired bodywork.<br />
<br />
This is a bike that not just looks as though it was pulled straight off a Moto3
grid. It is brought to you by the very people who have won both world
championships ever held in the 250cc four-stroke class and are once again going
strong in the current season. With the RC’s focus on a more sporty potential,
it required a new chassis to match these intentions.</span><br />

As no two riders are the same, KTM’s offers a huge array of <a href="http://www.ktm.com/in/parts-wear/powerparts.html"><span style="color: #ff6600; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">KTM PowerParts</span></a> for

The reason is, ignorance of information being published - by the most popular publication publishing, mistakenly, about the most exclusive spotted exotic supercar The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 as Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2.</span></div>

Well, as an AutoHead, I respect the article and no offence to its writers or the medium, however, the fact remains incorrect as the entire article revolves around the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2.</div>

<i><span style="color: red;">The orange-coloured stunner, which is the latest addition to his collection, puts the young Turk, who is getting ready to take the family political legacy forward by simultaneously dabbling in politics and business, in a league all his own. He is the first Bangalorean to own the limited edition model. In fact, the Italian automobile manufacturer has launched only six exclusive limited edition cars in the country. "But Nikhil got it even before the manufacturer formally launched the cars in India. The car was delivered last month," a source close to Kumaraswamy's family told Bangalore Mirror. <b>[As in Bangalore Mirror]</b></span></i></div>

Now, the information above from Bangalore Mirror's 2nd and 3rd paragraph only reflects the actual information in one sentence <i><span style="color: red;">"The orange-coloured stunner"</span></i>. The remaining lines do not reflect the actual car at all. In fact, the supercar is an Orange (Arancio Argos Pearl Effect) Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, launched in India in the last quarter of 2011. The <i><span style="color: red;">six exclusive limited edition cars</span></i> said above is with regards to the <b>Indian Edition Lamborghini Gallardo</b>. Which would be a limited edition and only six will be produced exclusively for India (read article here <a href="http://goo.gl/wj9Pp" style="color: #373737; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: red;">http://goo.gl/wj9Pp</span></b></a>).</div>

While I can see the table in the BM's article said this, however I had a question in mind. Are we talking about an engine 5.2 litre-10 cylinder V90? I have heard V8, V10, V12 and V6 too, OR was it actually meant to say V90°, which gave another meaning to the "V" if otherwise.</div>

<b>Specification of Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4:</b> The bull is mated with a 6.5 liter V12, 60° engine which unleashes uncensored power of 700bhp at 8250rpm.

There was a finishing statement to the article saying <i><span style="color: red;">"Perhaps, the only road where the Lamborghini can be driven at its maximum speed is the NICE Road built by Gowda's other rival, Ashok Kheny! "</span></i>. Now, this can be quite challenging taking it to the NICE road every time you want to test the bull's patients, I would ask WHY? Since, Bangalore has already seen two Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 cruising Bangalore roads after dark, this being the third one I have personally seen it gushing on the regular streets like a Bat Mobile.</div>

intentionally extreme and unusual vehicle with absolutely unique

Dambrosio responsible for the exterior and Stefan Sielaff for the interior, in
particular. De Silva's team chose to create a single-seater, pushing all the
characteristics in Lamborghini's make-up meaning pure driving pleasure,
performance and style beyond their limits. The cockpit, designed like a tailor-made
suit for the driver, is a removable section which, once combined with the rest
of the vehicle, creates a perfect technical, mechanical and aerodynamic unit.
Inspiration, as per Lamborghini tradition, once again comes from the world of
aviation, and in particular the Apache helicopter, where the cockpit can be
ejected in an emergency. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Porsche Dynamic
Chassis Control (PDCC) active anti-roll system, which is offered for the first
time on the 911 Turbo models, increases the dynamic performance potential even
more. This system is standard equipment on the 911 Turbo S, together with the
Sport Chrono Package Plus incorporating dynamic engine mounts, and Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brakes (PCCB). These are also each available on the 911 Turbo.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As a consequence, the
911 Turbo S shortens the benchmark lap time around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife
to well under 7 min 30 sec – naturally on standard production tyres. The standard
‘sound symposer’ intensifies the driving experience further still; transmitting
induction sounds of the turbo engine to the passenger compartment via a speaker
diaphragm.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The performance partners
in the powertrain are the further advanced engines and the new Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. The turbocharged 3.8-litre flat-six
engine with direct petrol injection produces 520 hp (383 kW) in the 911 Turbo,
and 560 hp (412 kW) in the Turbo S.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Porsche continues to

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Power is transferred
to the drivetrain via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK), which
enables an auto start/stop function with engine shut-off that now activates
earlier (when coasting to a halt) as well as the proven coasting function.
Together with a new thermal management system for the turbo engine and the PDK
transmission, fuel efficiency technologies have reduced NEDC fuel consumption
by up to 16 per cent to 29.1 mpg; these figures apply to both models.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For an even faster and
more precise power distribution to the two axles, Porsche has developed a new
all-wheel drive system (PTM) with an electronically controlled and activated
multi-plate clutch. The system is equipped with a new water cooling function,
so that it can direct even more drive torque to the front wheels if necessary.
Simultaneously, the optimised interplay of the engine, transmission and
all-wheel drive systems delivers even better sprint capabilities. The 911 Turbo
-- with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus -- accelerates from 0 to 62 mph
in 3.2 seconds, which is one-tenth faster than the time of the prior model 911
Turbo S. Meanwhile, the new 911 Turbo S handles the standard sprint to 62 mph
in just 3.1 seconds. The car’s top speed is 197 mph.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #444444;">Rear axle steering sustainably improves handling</span></b><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The introduction of
rear axle steering to all 911 Turbo models improves both track driving and
everyday performance of the two new sports cars immensely. Instead of
conventional control arms, the system consists of two electro-mechanical
actuators on the left and right of the rear axle. The steering angle of the
rear wheels can be varied by up to 2.8 degrees, depending on vehicle speed. At
speeds up to 31 mph (50 km/h), when the front wheels are turned the system
steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction. This actually corresponds to
a virtual shortening of the wheelbase by 250 mm, which gives the 911 Turbo
unrivalled cornering agility. The system lets the car turn faster into the bend
and offers more dynamic steering responses. Furthermore, this noticeably
simplifies low speed manoeuvring and parking.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At speeds above 50 mph
(80 km/h), the system steers the rear wheels parallel to the turned front
wheels. This is equivalent to a virtual lengthening of the wheelbase by a
significant 500 mm and gives the sports car tremendous stability, especially at
high speeds. At the same time, the steering input by the driver leads to
significantly faster build-up of lateral force at the rear axle, which
initiates the change in direction more spontaneous and harmoniously.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #444444;">Active aerodynamics improve efficiency and performance</span></b><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Porsche has developed
an active aerodynamic system on the new 911 Turbo models for the first time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It consists of a
sturdy, retractable three-stage front spoiler -- whose segments can be
pneumatically extended -- and a deployable rear wing with three adjustable
positions. This makes it possible to tune the aerodynamics of the 911 Turbo to
fulfil driver wishes for either optimal efficiency (speed position) or ultimate
dynamic performance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the performance
position, all segments of the front spoiler are fully extended, and they
generate considerable downforce on the front axle. Similarly, the rear wing is
extended to its maximum height with the greatest angle of attack. This also
generates more downforce on the rear axle. The extent to which this system
improves dynamic performance is demonstrated by the fact that it can reduce lap
times around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife by up to two seconds.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As has become the
tradition, the performance potential of the new 911 Turbo is plain to see but
the new models express it more clearly than ever before. The characteristic,
expansively wide rear body panels of the new generation 911 Turbo are 28 mm
wider than those of the 911 Carrera 4 models – they feature a nearly level surface,
about the width of a hand, between the base of the rear C-pillar and the outer
edge of the car body.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.5pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other differentiating
characteristics include forged two-tone 20-inch diameter wheels – which on the
911 Turbo S have hub wheel locks. The Turbo S is also making its appearance
with new full-LED headlights that feature four-point daytime running lights and
dynamic, camera-based main beam control. This can be ordered as an option for
the 911 Turbo.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Black/Carrera Red colour combination and Sport Seats Plus with 18-way
adjustment and position memory. In addition, the seat backrest shells are
leather upholstered with double cap seams and various elements in Carbon Look.
As with the prior model, a Bose Surround Sound audio system is standard;
however, a higher output Burmester upgrade is also available as an option for
the first time. A radar-controlled cruise control system, camera-based road

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The interplay of classical
proportions and state-of-the-art technology defines the unmistakable character
of the BMW Z4 – and now an updated version of the Roadster is ready for action,
armed with a raft of additional powertrain and equipment innovations. The new
BMW Z4 represents a time-honoured and yet alluringly contemporary
interpretation of the traditional roadster concept. New exterior features,
detailed interior refinements, the new Design Pure Traction equipment package,
the new entry-level sDrive18i model and the latest additions to the range of
BMW ConnectedDrive features all provide fresh impetus and lend the BMW Roadster
even greater appeal and individuality.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new BMW Z4 takes to the
stage 25 years after the legendary BMW Z1. That Roadster turned heads when it
was unveiled at the 1987 International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt – not only
on account of its revolutionary door concept, but also thanks to its agile and
precisely controllable handling. With the BMW Z1 began the latest chapter in
the history of BMW Roadsters – a tradition which stretches back to the 1930s
and reached the first of many high points with the BMW 328 (winner of the 1940
Mille Miglia) and BMW 507 from 1955. The BMW Z3 and BMW Z8 triggered a fresh
wave of excitement for the classical open-top two-seater concept in the 1990s.
And they also paved the way for the first-generation BMW Z4 and its successor,
the brand’s first Roadster fitted with a retractable hardtop roof.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The success of modern-day BMW
Roadsters is rooted in the rigorous execution of a concept, a process which has
left its mark on both the design and the driving properties of each car and is
clearly recognisable in the new BMW Z4. The sweeping bonnet, long wheelbase,
low beltline and low-slung rear end play a more vivid and uncompromising part
in shaping its appearance than is evident with any of its segment rivals. The
low seating position just ahead of the rear axle gives the driver and passenger
a particularly intense experience of the longitudinal and lateral forces
working on the rear wheels. This sense of being “part of the car” also allows
the driver to grade the amount of power he’s feeding through the rear axle with
sensitivity and precision. That’s the recipe for roadster feeling, BMW-style. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hardtop roof also blends
seamlessly into the car’s form. As it closes, it seals a smoothly flowing
roofline, while large window surfaces optimise all-round visibility and the
feeling of space inside the car. Once opened, the two roof elements are
accommodated, one on top of the other, in a compact package inside the
Roadster’s road-hugging rear. The A-pillars – painted an understated black –
also underline the low-slung silhouette of the new BMW Z4, especially when the
roof is open. The optional BMW Individual hardtop – available in the two
contrast colours Black non-metallic and Glacier Silver metallic – provides a feast
for the eyes when the roof is closed. The hardtop can be opened at the touch of
a button while the car is moving at up to 40 km/h (25 mph) in an automated
process lasting 19 seconds.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The distinctive twin circular
headlights team up with the broad BMW kidney grille to form a roadster-specific
interpretation of the brand’s signature front-end look. The standard bi-xenon
headlights of the new BMW Z4 have an extremely slim design and extend well into
the front wheel arches. They feature LED light rings which emit daytime driving
light in the brand’s hallmark style. Added to which, the light sources now have
a strikingly three-dimensional design which accentuates the intricate
technology of the headlights. Cutting across the tops of the headlights are LED
accent lights, whose metal insert bears BMW lettering. The integrated turn
signal indicators have chrome-coloured surrounds, which lend further emphasis
to the sophisticated character of the light units. Plus, a newly designed,
tapered surround for the side indicators adds a dynamic sweep to the gills on
the front side sections of the car.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A total of 11 external paint
finishes are available for the new BMW Z4, including the new Mineral Grey
metallic, Glacier Silver metallic and Valencia Orange metallic, which can only
be ordered together with the Design Pure Traction option. This new equipment
package lends the Roadster an extremely lively aura; the interior, for example,
boasts an energy-charged contrast of black and orange. The bespoke Alcantara
door panel trim, like the lower section of the instrument panel, comes in
orange. The black leather seats have contrast stitching in Valencia Orange and
an accent stripe running down the central section of the backrests and seat
cushions. This stripe is likewise orange and is flanked by two thin white
lines. The door panel trim and lower section of the instrument panel can also
be specified in black as an option. Another exclusive element of the Design
Pure Traction package is the metal weave trim strip, which can be combined with
further decorative elements in high-gloss black for the door openers and the
gearshift or selector lever. This new equipment package replaces the previously
available Design Pure Impulse and is also available in combination with other
exterior paint colours as an option. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">New interior additions to
standard specification include high-gloss black surrounds for the central air
vents and the iDrive control system’s folding Control Display, which comes as
part of the optional Professional navigation system. Elsewhere, exquisite
Fineline Anthracite wood has been added to the selection of interior trim
strips available as an option for the new BMW Z4. The BMW Z4 sDrive28i, BMW Z4
sDrive35i and BMW Z4 sDrive35is are offered with Kansas leather trim, which is
available as an option for the two other models.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">New variants have been added
to the range of optional light-alloy wheels as well, including newly designed
17-inch and 18-inch wheels in V-spoke design, both of which will be combined
with mixed tyres.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The engaging character of the
Roadster as a driver’s tool is given particular emphasis by the likewise
optional M Sport package, which contributes M Sport suspension, 18-inch M
light-alloy wheels and an M aerodynamics package with large air intakes in the
front wing and a rear bumper inlay painted Anthracite metallic. Bringing an
extra dose of sporting flair into the interior, meanwhile, are features such as
sports seats, an M leather steering wheel, M driver’s footrest, M door sill
finishers and an anthracite-coloured roof liner. The Aluminium Carbon trim
strip, leather M gear lever knob and grey dials for the instrument cluster lend
the finishing touches to the interior ambience. The new BMW Z4 sDrive35is comes
as standard with a model-specific version of the M Sport package.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Engines: BMW TwinPower Turbo technology at five output levels.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The BMW Z4 will be available
with a larger, five-strong line-up of petrol engines from launch, and customers
will be able to choose from three four-cylinder and two six-cylinder
powerplants. Their most significant shared feature is BMW TwinPower Turbo
technology, which ensures an exceptionally effective balance between driving
pleasure and fuel consumption throughout the output range. In addition, all
four-cylinder variants of the new BMW Z4 already meet – as standard – the
stipulations of the EU6 exhaust emissions standard due to come into force in
2014. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The BMW Z4 sDrive18i takes to
the stage as the new entry-level model. It is powered by a 2.0-litre engine
with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology which develops maximum output of 115 kW/156
hp at 5,000 rpm. The new variant of the four-cylinder unit delivers peak torque
of 240 Newton metres (177 lb-ft) between 1,250 and 4,400 rpm. The BMW Z4
sDrive18i is fitted as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, but an
eight-speed sports automatic can also be ordered as an option. The new model
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.9 seconds (automatic: 8.1 seconds)
and hits a top speed of 221 km/h / 137 mph (220 km/h / 136.5 mph). Average fuel
consumption for the BMW Z4 sDrive18i in the EU test cycle is 6.8 litres per 100
kilometres (41.5 mpg imp) with both the manual and automatic gearbox. CO2
emissions stand at 159 grams per kilometre.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The BMW TwinPower Turbo
technology package for the new BMW Z4 sDrive18i includes twin-scroll
turbocharging, High Precision Direct Petrol Injection, VALVETRONIC fully
variable valve control and Double-Vanos continuously variable camshaft control.
An identical version of this technology package is also used in the engines –
likewise 2.0-litre units – under the bonnet of the BMW Z4 sDrive20i and BMW Z4
sDrive28i. These engines can also be ordered with an eight-speed sports
automatic gearbox with shift paddles on the steering wheel as an alternative to
the standard-fitted six-speed manual. The automatic has been optimised to
deliver even better acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The existing engine variants –
the sDrive20i, sDrive28i, sDrive35i and sDrive35is – retain their places in the
range.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Extensive comfort-enhancing equipment. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new BMW Z4 delivers the
driving pleasure customers have come to expect from the brand, fulfilling the
desire for both sporting ability and comfort. Drivers can use the
standard-fitted Driving Experience Control switch to select a configuration to
suit the situation at hand and satisfy personal preferences. COMFORT, SPORT and
SPORT+ modes can all be called up using the rocker switch on the centre
console. As well as adjusting the responses of the engine and DSC stability
system, the different modes also alter the shift characteristics of the
automatic gearbox, the responses of the Servotronic function and the mapping of
the electronically controlled dampers, if these items are specified. These
modes allow the driver to choose from a selection of distinctive and clearly
differentiated set-ups for the car. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other items of equipment
fitted as standard are xenon headlights, air conditioning, a heated glass rear
window, the Soft Close Automatic function for the boot lid and runflat tyres
with a run-flat indicator. The BMW Business radio – including CD player, AUX-IN
socket and six loudspeakers – is a standard feature in all the variants of the
Roadster, while customers can also choose from options including the BMW
Professional radio and the Professional hi-fi-system with 14 loudspeakers. The
similarly optional Professional navigation system enables high-resolution map
graphics – complete with 3D view – on the 8.8-inch iDrive monitor. The
navigation data for the system is stored on an in-car hard disk, which also
provides 12 GB of capacity for personal music collections.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The range of driver assistance
systems and mobility services from BMW ConnectedDrive has also expanded once
again. The new BMW Z4 can be equipped with features such as a rain sensor,
Adaptive Headlights and High Beam Assistant. Cruise control with braking
function and Park Distance Control with sensors at the front and rear of the
car are also available. If the Professional navigation system is specified, the
ConnectedDrive Services option allows use of internet-based information and
entertainment services inside the car. This system must be fitted to enable
access to the BMW Online portal and apps using the Control Display and iDrive
Controller. The Real Time Traffic Information function is also on hand,
supplying the driver with congestion warnings and diversion recommendations in
real time. Apple iPhone owners can use BMW apps, for example, to receive web
radio stations, display Facebook and Twitter posts on the monitor and ask for
them to be read out. The range of BMW ConnectedDrive features available for the
new BMW Z4 also includes BMW TeleServices, BMW Remote Services, Concierge
Services and Intelligent Emergency Call with automatic vehicle location and
accident severity detection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In response to increasing
worldwide demand for premium cars from the British MINI brand, the BMW Group is
extending its international production network by additional local production
plants for select MINI models. This adds another chapter to the global success
story of MINI. For the first time since the relaunch of the brand in 2001,
preparations are under way for the local production of MINI cars for several
growth markets outside Europe. As a result, cars from the British premium brand
will be rolling off assembly lines beyond Europe for the first time later this
year. Local production for the MINI Countryman is currently being prepared at
the BMW plant in Chennai (formerly Madras), which meets the same stringent
quality standards applied to all production of BMW Group models.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over recent times India has
become an increasingly significant market for the BMW Group, which has operated
its own sales company on the subcontinent since 2007. At the start of 2012,
MINI opened its first five showrooms for cars from the British brand in Delhi,
Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore, making India the 100th market in the global
MINI sales network. A total of 302 cars were sold here in between March and
December 2012.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The BMW Group’s decision – in
line with its “production follows the market” strategy – to carry out local
production of the MINI Countryman in India responds to the burgeoning interest
within the country in innovative and high-quality vehicle concepts. MINI is the
first premium manufacturer to be represented in the locally ultra-important
small car segment, and is expecting the Indian car market as a whole to
experience high growth rates over the medium and long term.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The ramping up of
international production capacity is primarily aimed at providing a rapid and
flexible supply line to the increasing number of customers in emerging markets.
MINI delivered a record 301, 526 vehicles to customers worldwide in 2012, with
markets on the American and Asian continents making a particularly strong
contribution to this 5.8 per cent increase in sales over the previous year. The
MINI brand will continue to broaden its global perspective over the coming
years, and the strengthening of its international production network is
intended to assist in that process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every new BMW X model is a
trailblazer. Indeed, the world premiere of the first BMW X model (the BMW X5)
in 1999 saw the BMW Group call into be-ing the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV)
segment – one in which BMW X models remain the market leaders. The BMW X3 and
BMW X1 were likewise the first SAVs in their class and continue to set the pace
among their rivals today. This development took on a new dimension in May 2008
with the introduction of the BMW X6 – the first Sports Activity Coupe (SAC).
This still unique concept brought together the rugged looks of a BMW X model
with the emotional aura and sporting character of a BMW Coupe for the first
time. The enduring popularity of BMW’s first SAC is borne out by its
consistently high sales figures. The short history of the BMW X range is
already a successful one. Since the first BMW X model took to the stage,
average sales across the BMW X line-up have progressed on a constant upward
curve: one in four new BMW cars is now a BMW X model.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With the BMW Concept X4, the
BMW Group offers a preview of the future of the BMW X family. It takes no more
than a first glance to see how smoothly the qualities of a BMW X model can
blend with the genes of a BMW Coupe. The new Sports Activity Coupe concept from
BMW is poised to continue the success story of the BMW X6 in a new vehicle
class. Eye-catching proportions, tight con-tours and numerous high-quality
details produce an unrivalled product character brimming with emotional appeal,
dynamism and the sturdiness you would expect from a BMW X model, while at the
same time holding out the promise of out-standing performance and driving
dynamics. All of this can be experienced when the BMW X4 production model rolls
out of the factory for its market launch, scheduled for as early as 2014. The
second Sporty Activity Coupe in the brand´s model range will be built at BMW
Plant Spartanburg in the USA, the competence centre for BMW X models which also
produces the BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X3.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The sporting character of the
BMW Concept X4 is articulated by its dynamic line work as well as its
proportions. With a body length of 4,648 mm, a width of 1,915 mm and a height
of 1,622 mm, its exterior dimensions signal sporting elegance and powerful
robustness. In addition t a long bonnet, short overhangs and set back passenger
cell, its signature BMW features include a long wheel-base measuring 2,810 mm,
while 21 inch light alloy wheels lend an added flourish to the athletic bearing
of this Sports Activity Coupe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A front end with an urban
sporting presence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The front-end styling of the
BMW Concept X4 exudes hallmark BMW dynamics and the rugged purpose and presence
of a BMW X model in equal measure. Classical BMW features such as the kidney
grille and stylized twin circular head-lights give the front end a clear
identity and ensure it shines out as a BMW the first time you set eyes on it.
The BMW Concept X4 lavishes both these front-end design icons with meticulous
detail and three-dimensional depth. The large kidney grille stretches out
within a solid-looking surround. The high-gloss frame is open to the sides and
at its lower extreme, lending it an almost “floating” appearance in the centre
of the front end. The grille features prominently sculptured bars with
ultra-stylish detailing. The hollowed out, high-gloss black bars have a milled
lower third with a matt finishing, which lends the kidney structure extra
visual depth. And the grille also comprises additional air apertures to ensure
an increased supply of cooling air to the engine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The kidney grille is flanked
by dynamically contoured full-LED headlights. Inside the light units, a
flowing, hexagonal interpretation of the familiar BMW twin circular appearance
points to an unwavering focus on the road ahead. The horizontal continuation of
the inner light elements creates a visual connection with the grille,
accentuating once again the width of the front end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This dynamic impression
extends to the front apron. In keeping with BMW Coupe tradition, the side air
intakes are larger than the inner units and make a visual feature of the
increased cooling air requirement – while satisfying that need. Together with
the car’s wide track and low centre of gravity, the in-takes represent a
promise of exceptional performance capability. The side air intakes pick up on
a stylistic theme from the kidney grille; their black horizontal bars are, like
the grille’s, partly milled out but boast gleaming chrome edges. It all makes
for an enticing contrast of materials, a fusion of high-end quality with the
characteristic robustness of BMW X vehicles. This design theme concludes in the
underride protection element, where three milled out, gleaming chrome elements
present a high-quality take on the modern preference for minimalist solidity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Side view with an extrovert
edge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The qualities of a BMW X model
merge with the values of a BMW Coupe in the muscular silhouette of the BMW
Concept X4. Its proportions present a persuasive case for the BMW Concept X4 as
the most dynamic vehicle in its segment. In hallmark BMW style, a longer
wheelbase, relatively long bonnet, short over-hangs and a set-back greenhouse
lend the car an undeniable dynamism even when standing still. The striking
interplay of surfaces creates a vibrant contrast of light and shadow that exudes
a feeling of agility and power. Prominently rising lines mould the flanks into
a wedge shape and give the car as a whole a forward-surging momentum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The coupe-style roofline
sweeps elegantly downwards and makes the car ap-pear longer. Below, the windows
extend well to the rear, where they are bordered by a dynamic interpretation of
BMW’s signature Hofmeister kink. The stretched and shallow band of glass
creates a persuasively dynamic link between the greenhouse and vehicle body,
the slim glass surface giving the body an impressively powerful appearance. At
the same time the visual centre of gravity is lowered, underlining the sporting
mission statement summed up by the car’s flanks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The BMW Concept X4’s contours
include a new interpretation of the familiar BMW swage line, a pair of dynamic
lines defining the eye-catching impact of the side view. A concave area under
each swage line lends the flanks an almost sculptural expression – at once
robust and dynamic. The surface volumes and definition of the contours deepen
as they extend towards the tail and imbue the rear end with added stature.
Here, the powerfully flared wheel arches team up with the concave surface below
the rear swage line to visualize the power rip-pling through the rear wheels.
The radiant exterior paint shade Long Beach Blue is a perfect match for the
elaborately structured volumes and contours, and brings particular depth to the
expressive design language.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fitting the BMW X template,
the wheel arches of the BMW Concept X4 are large and almost square in design.
This prominent emphasis on the wheels draws further attention to the car’s
planted stance and long wheelbase, while at the same time providing a visual
showcase for the xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system. The pared-back, matt
black protective cladding provides the final element of bodywork before the BMW
Concept X4 meets the road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Expressive 21-inch bi-colour
light-alloy wheels round off the car’s appearance when viewed from the side.
Intricate, high-gloss polished spokes provide visual allure, while behind them
dark-coloured flame surfaces contribute an impressive feeling of depth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cutting-edge presence for the
rear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The rear of the BMW Concept X4
takes the sporting, width-accentuating elements of the front-end design and
reproduces them with an emphatically horizontal flavor. The body’s lines and
the slim LED tail lights positioned at the outer edges of the rear emphasize
the muscular wheel arches and wide track. Be-low, horizontal lines split the
rear visually into sections, while light surfaces re-duce the car’s visual
height and underline its width.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shallow rear window gives
the vehicle body an even more powerful impression and its broad shoulders a
show-stealing presence. Looking further down, the L-shaped rear lights of the
BMW Concept X4 underscore its consummate stance on the road. A full-sized inner
element in the tail lights, meanwhile, replicates the signature BMW “L” shape
in three-dimensional form and with impressive depth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The most striking element at
the back of the car is the rear apron, which pro-vides a wide, full-length
interpretation of the front apron’s large outer air intakes. The apron’s
cut-out picks up the two exhaust tailpipes in a dynamic sweep be-fore diverting
the gaze to the wheels. Body-colour elements reaching well down towards the
road surface provide a high-quality border for the rear end and re-emphasize
the road-focused proposition of the BMW Concept X4.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The underride protection acts
as the body’s lowest edge. Matt black surfaces lower the car’s perceived height
and accentuate the robust BMW X character of the rear. As at the front of the
car, three milled elements in gleaming chrome add a sophisticated touch to the
underride protection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The launch of the CannonBall
club happened on the Sunday, 17</span><sup style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">th</sup><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> March 2013. The launch witnessed
hundreds of supercar fans throng the venue ITC Gardenia Bangalore, from the
morning to get a glimpse of their favorite supercar. The officials at the venue
had a tough time managing the crowed along with guiding the owners to park
their rides.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The cars expected to attend
the event was 20+, however when the day began the venue almost could not
accommodate the cars and the number had increased to 30+ supercars. The owners had a pleasant time together, as
this was a forum for them to unite and talk about each other’s cars, talk about
automotive and enjoy great food and hot beverages. The owners were taken
through a briefed session of CannonBall club’s rules, member details, drive and
future plans. The next plan was to flag-off the event and take the supercars
for a drive across the city.</span><br />

crowed could not resist their excitement to spot their favorite supercar, it
was vice-a-versa, the city cheered the cars and the owners cheered back at them
by revving their Audi R8’s, Porsche’s and Maserati’s. </span></div>

Bangalore has ever seen, or will ever see. We wished other owners also took
part at the event. This is not the end of the world, CannonBall Club (CBC)
Bangalore has 4+ more drives which will happen similarly this year and
hopefully we catch up with you soon.</span><br />
