Maruti stops production of iconic Maruti 800 model - The Economic Times

HYDERABAD: Bringing curtains down on the glorious saga of the Maruti 800 model, Maruti Suzuki has stopped production of the iconic car brand that had been carrier for millions of Indian middle class families, since last month.

"When we started the project, none of us knew, how the reception would be. We had started with a very low ambition. When we were setting up a 1 lakh units plant, people said, it won't even sell 40,000. The booking of 125,000 at the beginning proved all the skeptics wrong. 800 is the car that made Maruti," recalls RC Bhargava, chairman of Maruti Suzuki.

Who told you that, Paji? Don't you know Hero Motocorp invested a lot in R & D and set up some R & D centres?

KTM considering production of its all-new 500cc and 800cc bikes in India

KTM boss Stefan Pierer has told OVERDRIVE that KTM has a 500cc and 800cc parallel twin nearly ready to go which is likely to go into production in the next three years or so. Pierer has indicated that the Austrian bike manufacturer is considering complex platforms like 500 and 800 twins for Indian production, adding that India's high duty structure makes local manufacturing the most cost effective way to introduce motorcycles here. Pierer said KTM is also looking at the 690 Duke for India, but while producing or assembling it here is not currently an option due to low expected volumes, importing it directly requires both homologation and high duties which raise the prospect of unviable sales. Pierer was speaking to OVERDRIVE on the sidelines of the 2014 Auto Expo, and also confirmed that the KTM RC series, the RC 390 and RC 200, will be launched in India mid-2014. KTM is also working on one more product which is the off-road platform. But Stefan said that it's actually going to be the same engine but on a new platform with new geometry therefore it's almost like a new motorcycle (or two). Further it's going to be two motorcycles, one a hardcore off- roader (spanning the 200 and the 390) as well as a larger tanked adventure tourer. He also added that KTM will bring Husqvarna to India, but its bikes will be more like the BMW RNineT than the Duke, on which it is based.

Lamborghini Huracan arrives in India



Within a week of its global reveal at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini has shipped an example of its brand new Huracan sportscar to India for multi-city customer events. These spy pictures show a Huracan being unloaded after it arrived at Mumbai airport. Though the official launch of the Huracan is still some months away, the company is quite keen to gauge customer interest and take orders for its all-new sportscar which is far more rounded and less hard-edged than the Gallardo, the car the Huracan has replaced.


Lamborghini is organising an exclusive preview of the Huracan at the Four Seasons Hotel in Worli, Mumbai this weekend after which it will move to Delhi for a similar event. Lamborghini says the Huracan is the most user-friendly car the company has produced and it is likely to eclipse the Gallardo as the best-selling Lamborghini ever. The Huracan's price in India begins at Rs. 3.43 crore (ex- showroom, Delhi)
