#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.

Suicide-Huracan

At 12.30 a.m. midnight standing in between the interstate highway, I am looking like a moron thinking should i kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?, have been  at the same place for the past 15 minutes & no sign of a single soul, sorry single vehicle to slay upon me. This phrase“Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me - I quit!” kept continuously striking me. How in this world can a suicide story find a place in an automotive blog? Read further to know about it! what brought forward this suicidal tone in me or to this verge?, well it follows like this,  my sweetheart whom I dated for the past 5 years broke up with me today, my boss basically a jerk lambastes me for being soft-hearted, instead I get fired under the charges of sexual harassment, this is what happens if you don’t abide by boss’s always right strategy. This women centric society really sucks. I come home, my mom disowns me as the person responsible for all this crap coincidentally was my relative. Deprived of any options, my faith in these words grew, "The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night.”
