Home Car reviews oi-Promeet Ghosh By Promeet Ghosh Updated: Saturday, March 6, 2021, 17:29 [IST] Rating: 4.0 It has almost been less than two years since the seventh-gen 3 Series was launched in India. Earlier this year in January, BMW India brought in the long-wheelbase 3 Series Gran Limousine in the country. That however does not seem to be enough and just a couple of months later after the long-wheelbase launch, BMW has come up with the locally-assembled M340i xDrive. We had a chance to drive the all-new BMW M340i xDrive for a couple of days and boy the car left us staggered. One more thing is that this is the first M car to be assembled in India. So, we took the car and went for a drive in the city and on the highway and here is what we have to say about it. Exterior & Design At first glance, when you see the car upfront it will be difficult for you to tell that this is a performance-oriented sedan … [Read more...] about BMW M340i xDrive Review (First Drive): The First Locally Assembled ‘M’ Car

Bourdais, Foyt targeting best title campaign for 19 years
Airton Daré was the last Foyt driver to break into the top 10 in the end of year points standings, on the back of a win at Kansas and a third at Texas, resulting in ninth in the 2002 Indy Racing League – at that time an all-oval series. Since then, the squad owned by Indy car icon A.J. Foyt – seven-time champion and four-time Indy 500 winner – have landed podiums with Darren Manning, Vitor Meira, Mike Conway, Takuma Sato and Tony Kanaan, and Sato scored another victory for the squad at Long Beach in 2013. But the season-long consistency required to finish in the Top 10 has evaded them. However, the hiring of four-time Champ Car title winner and 37-time race winner Bourdais has lit the team’s ambition, and the speed shown in testing has left all involved, including team president Larry Foyt, cautiously optimistic. Said Bourdais: “I think Larry was really kind of hoping for a top 10 in the championship, which when you look at the entry list, is no easy task. Hopefully we … [Read more...] about Bourdais, Foyt targeting best title campaign for 19 years

Rosenqvist won the NTT IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year title in 2019 with sixth place in the championship driving for Chip Ganassi Racing, but last year slipped to 11 th , despite scoring his first win in the series. For his third IndyCar season, he has joined Arrow McLaren SP-Chevrolet, partnering team incumbent Patricio O’Ward. Asked about the prospects for 2021 rookies Jimmie Johnson, Scott McLaughlin and Romain Grosjean – arriving from NASCAR, Supercars and Formula 1 respectively – Rosenqvist said they were going to find the move difficult. “I wish I could talk to myself now back in '19,” said the 29-year-old who arrived in IndyCar with a sparkling résumé that featured championships and multiple race wins in lower formulas. “It's a tough series. I haven't done anything else that is as difficult. I know many other people that came from F1 says the same thing. “You look at it from the outside, you think it's going to be like a simpler form of racing.

2022 Kia Stinger Will Have $3,800 Price Cut From Day One
That's good news, but there's more to know about Kia's pricing. The 2022 Kia Stinger hasn't even landed the U.S. shores at this point, but CarsDirect has already caught wind of important discounts and deals, taken from dealer incentive bulletins that are available on a national scale. According to the website, the incoming Stinger (which we yet to have images for) will arrive with a hefty $3,800 discount, but that's limited to leasing the top-spec GT2 trim for two years. This could effectively offset the expected $3,000 increase in pricing expected on the 2022 model year of the grand tourer, but there are many things to consider. Gallery: Kia Stinger (2021) 9 Photos As mentioned, the $3,800 discount is only available for leasing the GT2 for 24 months. However, the more conventional 36-month lease only gets a $600 price cut on the GT1 and $1,800 on the … [Read more...] about 2022 Kia Stinger Will Have $3,800 Price Cut From Day One
