#FORD #GT 2017 THE FIRE SPITTING #ECOBEAST


          The new pre-production Ford GT release date is set for late 2016, and this new vehicle has been introduced in a new video released on the Ford Today YouTube Channel.


At the 2015 Detroit Auto Show the new GT concept was shown off, which is hopefully going to be the production car going on sale in 2016. This will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ford GT racing cars, placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.













There will be a V6 3.5 liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost heart, which could be seen through viewing panel on the supercar. This engine will produce staggering 600+ HP.

There is also a aluminum-alloy frame and a carbon-fiber driver cell, the seats are fixed but the steering column and pedals are fully adjustable (like the LaFerrari). By keeping the driver in one place and moving the lighter wheel and pedals it keeps the weight distribution at its best. 













The FORD GT has taken total departure from the earlier car's interior and it's instrumentation, whereas the previous car's interior paid homage to the original GT40 the new one is totally laden with digitized wizadry.

SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES INDIA TO STOP SELLING IT'S INAZUMA

         
             SUZUKI MOTORCYCLES INDIA launched it's 250cc parallel twin INAZUMA in the early 2014 . SUZUKI was betting high on it's 250cc motorcycle, but it was not appreciated by the indian motorcycling enthusiasts. The INAZUMA was positioned as a power commuter rather than the sporty and bonkers DUKE siblings, infact it was much more comfortable to ride than the DUKE'S. It was aimed at the mature riders who wants comfrort and refinement over power  and acceleration. One big USP of this quarter litre motorcycle was it's 250cc liquid cooled parallel twin engine which had supreme refinement and had one of the most sweet sonding exhaust note among 250cc's in India. It was stratospherically priced at it's launch which was 3 lacs + rupees(ex showroom) which resulted in next to no sales, the price of this motorcycle was bought down by a lac later on. The INAZUMA will be totally discontinued in march 2015.

              There are reasons for the downfall of an otherwise capable motorcycle-
             
              1. The styling was inspired from the now defunct SUZUKI B-KING which made it look weird.
              2. The pricing of the bike even though was slashed by a lakh rupees still it was higher that of the bonkers KTM's DUKE 390.
              3. The engine although was supremely refined and sounded sweet, it was underpowered.

The 2015 F1 calendar could potentially contain 20 races with a return to Mexico

The draft, however, suggests that there will again be no place for India, which was supposedly set for an early season slot having been dropped at the end of 2013.


If correct, the 2015 campaign would start in Melbourne as has been the case every year bar two since 1996, but once again there would be a two-week break between the race in Australia and the Malaysia GP.

The British Grand Prix is set for its traditional slot on July 5, with Mexico’s return pencilled in for October 25 as a back-to-back race with the United States Grand Prix in Texas. There is no mention of a second race in the States in
New Jersey though.

The Italian Grand Prix also keeps its early September slot despite speculation that the race at Monza could be axed.
“It is going to be a bit of a busy one if it ends up like that,” commented Sky Sports F1’s Johnny Herbert.

However, 1996 World Champion Damon Hill thinks the rumoured schedule will not cause too many headaches.

“It is only one more than this year so it is manageable I think,” he added.
