Through this partnership, Toyota entered the premium hatchback segment in the Indian market by launching the Glanza, which was essentially a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno.

The new Toyota Urban Cruiser is based on the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.

Red Bull’s missing RB16B fuels tech secret intrigue
The Milton Keynes-based team appears to have gone out of its way to make sure that no detailed images of its new RB16B can be accessed by rival teams prior to the first day of pre-season testing in Bahrain. After conducting a filming day at Silverstone with both its RB15 car from 2019 and the new RB16B on Wednesday, it was noticeable that of the 76 images the team released after running, none of them were of the new car. Shots were captured of Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Alex Albon all in action and in the garage over the full day of running, but each was captured driving the RB15 only. All of the full car garage shots, panning shots and front views were of the old car. The RB16B was missing in action.

So you can bet that the choice of images that were … [Read more...] about Red Bull’s missing RB16B fuels tech secret intrigue
