THE JAGUAR HERITAGE

2012-04-12T03:21:00.000+05:00

Jaguar’s tradition of excellence

Jaguar has always stood for engineering excellence and beautiful design. Here you can explore some of the many highlights in its distinguished history.

JAGUAR HERITAGE RACING BACK ON TACK

2012-04-12T03:18:00.000+05:00

We would like to announce the launch of Jaguar Heritage Racing, a programme which will see Jaguar return to the competitive arena through the vibrant world of historic motorsport. For the first time since 1956, works-supported C- and D-types will race again at venues including Goodwood and the Nürburgring, while the season-long programme will also see Jaguar Heritage Racing support numerous additional events on the historic motoring calendar. These include the Mille Miglia, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and each round of the E-type challenge in the UK - a series which in 2011 demonstrated the depth of global interest in historic motorsport, and in Jaguar's participation specifically.

As Jaguar embarks on the most extensive new product development cycle in its history, it is the perfect time to invest in and celebrate its heritage. Says Jaguar Global Brand Director, Adrian Hallmark: "Jaguar is proud of its heritage, and it is a heritage that is both alive and ever evolving.

"Advanced engineering is part of our heritage - 2012 sees the 60th anniversary of Jaguar's development of the disc brake for automotive use, and ten years since the marque introduced aerospace-inspired aluminium monocoque technology to its modern range, technology today used on both the XJ and XK. Forward looking design is part of our heritage - the poised intent of the C-X16 concept pushes the boundaries today just as much as the SS Jaguar 100 did in 1935. And racing is very much part of our heritage also - which is why we have launched the Jaguar Heritage Racing programme that this year will see Jaguar C- and D-types in competitive action."

The first event at which Jaguar Heritage Racing will be present is the 2012 Mille Miglia retrospective in May. This year's running of the Mille Miglia has particular significance for Jaguar as it marks 60 years since Sir Stirling Moss and Norman Dewis (then Jaguar's chief development driver) took the start in the first disc-brake equipped C-type. Later that same year Sir Stirling Moss recorded the first win for a disc-braked car when he drove another C-type to victory at Reims, paving the way for the wide-scale use of the technology that we all take for granted today.

In August, the Jaguar Heritage Racing team will then be in competitive action at the AVD Nürburgring Oldtimer Grand Prix. Often referred to as the 'green hell', the Nürburgring Nordschleife is regarded as one of the toughest tracks in the world, which is why Jaguar has a dedicated test facility located there running a rigorous durability and performance programme for its modern range.

Says Jaguar Land Rover Global Head of Communications, Frank Klaas: "The Nürburgring Nordschleife presents a unique automotive challenge that Jaguar's development team continually subject our current and future models to in order to perfect their attributes of quality, durability and dynamic precision. To also see historic works Jaguars in competitive action at the Nürburgring this year will be fascinating."

From Germany, the team will then head back to British shores for the Goodwood Revival in September. The undisputed jewel in the crown of the historic motor racing calendar, the Revival provides a dazzling backdrop of nostalgia for an equally dazzling array of competitive action in which the Jaguar Heritage Racing C- and D-type will play their part.

The Jaguar Heritage Racing programme is operated and managed by JD Classics, based in Maldon, Essex. An established player in the historic motorsport world, JD Classics will prepare both the C- and D-type Jaguars which will take to the track, and have responsibility for all race-day activities. Derek Hood, managing director, JD Classics, said: "Jaguars have been at the heart of our business for many years, and the opportunity to work with Jaguar Heritage Racing and ensure that the company is as well represented in historic motorsport today as it was when those same models competed in period is one we were only too happy to accept."

The Jaguar Heritage Racing programme will supplement the activities of Jaguar Heritage - a charitable trust and custodians of an extensive collection of priceless models from Jaguar's past, including the unique XJ13 prototype. Its cars are not campaigned competitively on-track, but will continue to be exhibited - and demonstrated - at a huge number of events during 2012.

Wo jo Rehta tha is dil mein kabi "apnon"ki tarah,
Aisa bhola k milta hy ab "sapnon"ki tarah,
Pal pal karta tha jo sath"nibhane"ki batain,
Chorr gaya hm ko purani "rasmon"ki tarah,

Ruswa huay "zamany"mein to ye jana,
Us k waady b thy jhooty us ki "qasmon"ki tarah".!

Wo Mjhse lafz kho jaen,
Anaa ko beech mt lana,
Meri Awaz bn jana,
SUNO'
Naraz mt hona!

Phool Se Pucha Gaya?

Phool Se Pucha Gaya?
Tumhe Torha Jata Hai
To Tumhe Dard Nahi Hota?
Phool Ne Kaha:

Me Us Waqt Apna Dard Bhool Jata Hun
Jab Me Kisi ki Khushi ka Sabab Banta Hun.

The new Honda City arrives

2012-04-10T02:56:00.001+05:00

Honda Siel recently launched its all-new third generation Honda City, which was unveiled by M. Takedagawa, President and CEO, Honda Siel Cars India. So what's new about this global model that has been specially designed for India? The answer lies in its completely new design, new engine, spacious cabin and the fact that it comes equipped with various active and passive safety features.

On the outside, what you get is its quintessential radical exterior style, which is primarily characterized by its sleek look. The all-new City comes with what is called the 'Arrow Shot Form' design that lends the car its dynamic look. The car undoubtedly exudes a great amount of road presence on account of it now being longer, wider and sturdier. From the front, the first thing that strikes you about the car is the new rakish grill and the headlights that lend a distinct new identity to the car.

It also boasts a shortened rear end and with sleekly designed aerodynamic looking combination lights that now enhance its sporty looking tail design. While the new City comes with the same ground and head clearance, the car's height has been lowered by 15 mm to 1480 mm to enable the car to have a sleeker and sturdier body shape giving the City an extremely refined driving position.

Nissan NV200

2012-04-10T02:53:00.001+05:00

With the NV200, Nissan wants to take the Toyota Innova head-on. The NV200 will be the first product of the Nissan and Ashok Leyland joint venture to manufacture minivans in India. An eight-seater, the NV200 seats passenger in a 2+3+3 layout. Styling is more commercial van than MPV and this appearance is not helped by the NV200’s sliding rear doors. It will be powered by the same 105bhp 1.5-litre K9K diesel that also does duty in the Renault Fluence. Pricing is likely to be in the range of Rs 7.5-12 lakh.

Factfile:

Engine: 1.5-litre diesel

Power/Torque: 105bhp/24.4kgm

Kerb weight: 1269kg

L/W/H: 4400/1695/1860mm

Expected: Early 2012

Price: Rs 7.5-12 lakh

Renault Duster

2012-04-10T02:52:00.001+05:00

Renault wants a presence in each segment of the car market and will be ready with its Duster mini-SUV by July next year. The Duster shares its platform with the Logan (now Mahindra Verito), so should be able to take a fair bit of abuse. But this is no off-roader in the true sense and will be sold in India in a two-wheel-drive avatar only. Interior space is impressive and, just like on the Logan, ride quality is nice and supple too. The Duster will have 1.6 petrol (105bhp) and 1.5 diesel (90bhp) engines. A more powerful 107bhp 1.5 diesel with reduced turbo lag will also be on offer. Expect prices to start at Rs 7 lakh for the base petrol-engined Duster.

Factfile:

Engines: 1.6-litre petrol, 1.5-litre

diesel, 1.5-litre diesel

Power/Torque: 105bhp/15.1kgm,

90bhp/20.4kgm, 107bhp/24.5kgm

Kerb weight: 1205kg

L/W/H: 4315/1822/1695mm

Expected: July 2012

Price: Rs 7-8 lakh

New Porsche 911

2012-04-10T02:51:00.002+05:00

It may not look radically different from its predecessor but this is the all-new sixth-generation 911. The car will go on sale in India soon after right-hand-drive sales commence globally. It will initially be sold in rear-wheel-drive Carrera (3.4 litre) and Carrera S (3.8 litre) coupé guises. Cabriolet and four-wheel-drive variants will follow in 2012, and pave the way for a range-topping 523bhp Turbo in 2013. The new 911 will sport a new seven-speed manual gearbox — a first for a series production road car. Apart from increased power and improved emissions, the new 911’s chassis has also been worked on for improved ride and even better dynamics.

Factfile:

Engines: 3.4-litre petrol,

3.8-litre petrol

Power/Torque: 345bhp/39.8kgm,

394bhp/44.9kgm

Kerb weight: 1455-1470kg

L/W/H: 4491/1808/1295mm

Expected: September 2012

Price: From Rs 90 lakh

Renault Pulse

2012-04-10T02:50:00.001+05:00

Auto Expo 2012 will be the venue for the launch of Renault’s first hatchback for India the Pulse, (earlier codenamed B58). The Pulse shares its platform with the Micra and will be built alongside it at Renault-Nissan’s Chennai plant. Dimensions are be near-identical to the Micra and likewise should weigh less than a tonne, which will reap huge dividends in terms of economy. While the two cars will share many components including engines, the Pulse is easily identifiable as a Renault . However, the two cars share the dashboard design as tooling for a new dashboard entails considerable expense. Pricing should be at par with the Micra, so it will be interesting to see if the Renault can eat into Nissan sales.

Factfile:

Engines: 1.2-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel

Power/Torque: 75bhp/10.6kgm,

63bhp/16.3kgm

Kerb weight: NA

L/W/H: NA

Expected: January 2012

Price: Rs 4.5-6 lakh

Renault hatchback will be similar to the Nissan Micra.
