Jeep Compass

The Jeep Compass was launched in India in July last year and in just a few months it has become one of India's favourite SUVs. The prices for the most affordable Jeep in India start from Rs 15.16 lakh for the petrol base while the top-end diesel is priced at Rs 21.91 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The biggest appeal of the Compass apart from its off-roading capabilities is that it gets the Jeep brand within reach for alarge portion of the car buying population.

The Compass measures 4395mm long, 1818mm wide, 1640mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2636mm. The five-seater SUV rides on 18-inch alloy wheels (in its top-spec Limited variant) and gets features such as bi-xenon projector headlamps, LED daytime running lamps and a two-tone paint scheme. The interiors feature a black and white colour theme, and get goodies such as a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), a 6-speaker sound system and dual-zone climate control. On the safety front, the top-spec Compass gets 6 airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, hill hold and descent control.

Engine options for the Jeep Compass include a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.0-litre diesel. The petrol motor develops 160PS and 250Nm, and will be available with a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The diesel, on the other hand, makes 173PS and 350Nm and is available with a 6-speed manual transmission only. Jeep has confirmed that a 9-speed automatic will be available with the diesel drivetrain but not anytime soon

Lamborghini Diamante

Thomas Granjard's Final year degree project at Coventry University Lamborghini Diamante University project (not developed with Lamborghini) Trailer We're in the year 2023. Oil is getting depleted on our planet. However, mobility will continue to exist, it needs to. Such mobility not only includes boring electric vehicles for the city but also supersportcars with alternative drive systems.

This concept combines exclusivity and extremes in one single supersportcar. The name says it all. The most valuable mineral in the world stands for luxury, but also for naturalness, pureness, hardness and beauty – exactly as the dream car with the white collar. Its extremely flat silhouette is flanked by sharply outlined edges, the curved surface appears to be unpolished, rough, precious. The aerodynamic system uses movable wings to ...

In lieu of experiencing each vehicle’s performance profile from behind the wheel, the table provided similarly works to demonstrate what both Ghibli and BMW’s 6 series have been engineered to accomplish. Comparing the Maserati Ghibli vs. BMW 6 Series in this regard yields a number of important emphases. Local clients will notice that both vehicles develop their identity around six-cylinder engines with a pair of strategic turbochargers.

Lamborghini Estoque

The Lamborghini Estoque (Spanish pronunciation: [esˈtoke]) is a concept car built by Lamborghini. Unlike current production Lamborghini cars, which are mid-engine two-seat sports cars, the Estoque is a four-door sedan. The Estoque was introduced at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The Estoque is the first front-engine vehicle by Lamborghini since the LM002 utility vehicle. It is described as a "concept for a $230,000 four-door sedan". It currently houses a 5.2 litre V10 engine, although there has been speculation that this could be replaced by a V12, V8, or possibly even a hybrid or turbo-diesel engine, as suggested by Lamborghini's Brand Director, Manfred Fitzgerald. As with other Lamborghinis, the Estoque derives its name from the sport and tradition of bullfighting: An estoque is a type of sword traditionally used by matadors. Speculation regarding production It was reported on 22 March 2009 that production plans for the Lamborghini Estoque were cancelled. Lamborghini ex...
