Almost every major auto manufacturer in the world is trying to come out with their own versions of a self-driving car. These cars are supposed to push the limits of what regular cars do, and regular cars need headlights to drive at night. But what if cars of the future do not need them?
That’s the idea that Ford worked with and now they have made a car that doesn’t need headlights anymore. Take a look at it yourself.
150cc motorcycles in India have been experiencing demand like never before and two-wheeler manufacturers are leaving no stone unturned to please potential customers in this segment. There are commuters, street-naked bikes and even full faired motorcycles, all in the same category, competing against each other.
It all comes down to what you prefer, and if you want a full-fairing bike then the Suzuki Gixxer SF, at Rs 85,268 (ex-showroom, Delhi), is one of the most affordable ones out there.

The record for the fastest convertible was held by Bugatti’s Veyron Super Sport Vitesse, which it achieved by going at a speed of 254 mph (408.7 km/h).

The car was driven by Brian Smith, director of the Ford Performance Racing School.

All of a sudden, the Pulsar(s) aren’t good enough anymore. Over a decade ago, when the everyday commuter was happy with the 100 cc motorcycles like the Hero Splendor, Bajaj came out with the Pulsar in 150 cc and 180 cc variants. The bike was muscular, powerful and refined, and hence not so surprisingly, it won the hearts of almost everyone in the country.
The Pulsar established Bajaj as one of the biggest two-wheeler manufacturers in the country but now, times have changed.

What happens when you are a rich European who wants a luxurious Audi? You might think that their flagship luxury sedan, the Audi A8, would be suitable, given the list of luxuries it comes with. But if even that’s not up to the mark, then you might say that the Audi A8L Security surely has to be good enough.
We would probably agree with you there, but one such European customer didn’t and wanted a stretch A8 – and on his request, Audi has built the one-off A8L Extended.
