The widely varying testing methodologies mean that, even between identical cars, the acceleration times vary. Some of these differences include: driver/rider, payload, track surface conditions, weather/air temperature and launching technique.

The Volkswagen UP! Concept Car is to be branded as Volkswagen Lupo. Volkswagen's Lupo will be offered to customers as Volkswagen takes on Audi, Skoda and Seat with a view of attaining global leadership in automobiles by 2018.The Volkswagen Lupo will be the company’s entry-level car. Due to financial reasons, Volkswagen has opted for the front wheel drive, front engine layout. Initially the Volkswagen Lupo will be available with the 1 liter engine producing 65 hp and a 1.2 liter common-rail diesel unit with an output of 75 hp (as in the Volkswagen Polo).

We are not sure which models will be launched in India, thoughFerrari Launch India Price Official import will enter the Indian market in the first half of 2011.

Contrary to earlier speculations that Ferrari may get help from Tata Motors, Fiat’s Indian partner, for business operations the company will come through the direct import route and will have an imported managing the business, according to Valeria Costa.Demand for ultra luxury cars in India are increasing at a rapid phase. Ferrari is the most loved brand in India, some of the top notch people in India like Sachin Tendulkar, Ratan Tata and Mr. Vijay Mallya already owns it.Ferrari Models Launch and Price in IndiaFerrari may introduce any of the following models, 599 GTB Fiorana, 599 GTO, 612 Scaglietti, 458 Italia and California. The models are expected to be priced around Rs. 1 crore.
It’s a car! No, it’s an SUV. Er, it’s the BMW X1. BMW India finally put their official seal on the commencement of the BMW X1′s Indian sojourn by launching the Sports Activity Vehicle in India. The BMW X1 is neither a full fledged sedan nor a full grown SUV. It is what automobile designers call, a Crossover. A result of a cross between a sedan and an SUV, the BMW X1 Crossover is well, nigh, perfect for the road conditions we live in. Most folks who travel a lot in their cars and who want an executive sedan in India go through a buying process that often results in them buying an SUV instead. One reason: The moonscapish Indian road conditions. While successive prime ministers of the country have done a lot to improve the roads we traverse on, a large part of the nation still plays host to not so good roads on which sedans usually come to a crawling speed, lest the underbody take mighty and often expensive hits.
An SUV makes so much sense in such situations but considering the outright performance, fuel efficiency and driving pleasure which simply cannot match what a sedan has to offer, SUVs too have their drawbacks. It is here that the crossovers come in and act as the perfect compromise between the finesse of a sedan and the ruggedity of an SUV. What better than the BMW badge on the bonnet? This is where the BMW X1 comes in, a high performance teutonic Crossover with the performance and more importantly snob value of being a BMW. With the BMW X1, you can go flat out on rough roads where you would otherwise have had to slow to a standstill in a sedan and with the BMW X1, you can still navigate the very slushy and mucky roads bang in the midde of the monsoons leading to your farmhouse. All this, without having to sacrifice a refined diesel engine’s frugality, brilliant cornering that let’s you chase sedans on the twisties and a sub ten second nought to hundred dash.2011 BMW X1 CrossoverThis, in a nutshell is the BMW X1, which is available in both petrol and diesel variants. The anaemic petrol variant, in our opinion is only for folks who simply cannot be seen refueling at the dirty end of the fuel pumps and trust us, there are quite a few of them. For the rest of the folks, there is the brilliant inline, four pot, two liter common rail diesel mill that goes fast, stays ultra refined and sips the sticky stuff very stingily. And to top it all off, the BMW X1 in diesel guise is one of those rare cars which comprehensively beats the petrol version in almost all departments, right from the power and torque figures, significantly faster nought to hundred dash to the more miles per liter stakes. Already 1000 Indians have booked, rather pre-booked this very car and this will ensure that a waiting period of three months will ensue before you can lay your hands on your very own BMW 2011 BMW X1 CrossoverAnd yes, the prices remain just what we reported earlier. No surprises there with the BMW India launching the X1 at very competitive prices with the BMW X1 sDrive18i at INR 22,00,000, the BMW X1 sDrive20d at INR 23,90,000 and the BMW X1 sDrive 20d Exclusive at INR 29,90,000, all prices ex-showroom all India. The BMW X1 will be built from Completely Knocked Down Kits imported from BMW Germany and this is one of the main reasons as to how BMW has managed to price the X1 Crossover so competitively. BMW India is pinning it’s hopes on the 2011 BMW X1 becoming the best selling model in it’s Indian line up and looking at the tremendous response the X1 has received so far in India, that is something very plausible. A full launch story is in the making. Stay glued to ICB.cars 2011 india

A railroad car (US) or railway vehicle (UK and international), also known as a bogie in Indian English is a vehicle on a rail transport system (railroad or railway) that is used for the carrying of cargo or passengers. Cars can be coupled together into a train and hauled by one or more locomotives. Passenger cars can be self propelled in which case they can be single or multiple units.Most cars carry a "revenue" load, although "non-revenue" cars exist for the railroad's own use, such as for maintenance-of-way purposes. Such uses can generally be divided into the carriage of passengers and of freight. "Revenue" cars are basically of two types: passenger cars, or coaches, and freight cars or wagons/trucks.

Main article: Passenger car (rail)Passenger cars, or coaches, vary in their internal fittings:
In standard gauge cars, seating is usually between three and five seats across the width of the car, with an aisle in between (resulting in 2+1, 2+2 or 3+2 seats) or at the side. Tables may be present between seats facing one another. Alternatively, seats facing the same direction may have access to a fold-down ledge on the back of the seat in front.If the aisle is located between seats, seat rows may face the same direction, or be grouped, with twin rows facing each other. Sometimes, for example on a commuter train, seats may face the aisle.If the aisle is at the side, the car is usually divided in small compartments. These usually contain 6 seats, although sometimes in second class they contain 8, and sometimes in first class they contain 4.
In vehicles intended for commuter services seats are sometimes placed with their backs to the carriage side. This gives a wide accessway and standing room which accommodates standing passengers at peak times and improves loading and unloading speeds.Passenger cars can take the electricity supply for heating and lighting equipment from two main sources - either directly from a head end power generator on the locomotive via bus cables; or by an axle powered generator which continuously charges batteries whenever the train is in motion.Modern cars usually have either air-conditioning or windows that can be opened (sometimes, for safety, not so far that one can hang out), or sometimes both. Various types of onboard train toilet facilities may also be provided.Other types of passenger car exist, especially for long journeys, such as the dining car, parlor car, disco car, and in rare cases theater and movie theater car. In some cases another type of car is temporarily converted to one of these for an event.Observation cars were built for the rear of many famous trains to allow the passengers to view the scenery. These proved popular, leading to the development of dome cars multiple units of which could be placed mid-train, and featured a glass-enclosed upper level extending above the normal roof to provide passengers with a better view.Sleeping cars outfitted with (generally) small bedrooms allow passengers to sleep through their night-time trips, while couchette cars provide more basic sleeping accommodation. Long-distance trains often require baggage cars for the passengers' luggage. In European practice it used to be common for day coaches to be formed of compartments seating 6 or 8 passengers, with access from a side corridor. In the UK, Corridor coaches fell into disfavor in the 1960s and 1970s partially because open coaches are considered more secure by women traveling alone.Another distinction is between single- and double deck train cars. An example of a double decker is the Amtrak superliner.A "trainset" (or "set") is a semi-permanently arranged formation of cars, rather than one created 'ad hoc' out of whatever cars are available. These are only broken up and reshuffled 'on shed' (in the maintenance depot). Trains are then built of one or more of these 'sets' coupled together as needed for the capacity of that train.Often, but not always, passenger cars in a train are linked together with enclosed, flexible gangway connections that can be walked through by passengers and crew members. Some designs incorporate semi-permanent connections between cars and may have a full-width connection, making in essence one longer, flexible 'car'. In North America, passenger equipment also employ tightlock couplings to keep a train reasonably intact in the event of a derailment or other accident.Many multiple unit trains consist of cars which are semi-permanently coupled into sets; these sets may be joined together to form larger trains, but generally passengers can only move around between cars within a set. This "closed" nature allows the separate sets to be easily split to go separate ways. Some multiple-unit trainsets are designed so that corridor connections can be easily opened between coupled sets; this generally requires driving cabs either set off to the side or (as in the Dutch Koploper) above the passenger compartment.

In European practice it used to be common for day coaches to be formed of compartments seating 6 or 8 passengers, with access from a side corridor. In the UK, Corridor coaches fell into disfavor in the 1960s and 1970s partially because open coaches are considered more secure by women traveling alone.Another distinction is between single- and double deck train cars. An example of a double decker is the Amtrak superliner.A "trainset" (or "set") is a semi-permanently arranged formation of cars, rather than one created 'ad hoc' out of whatever cars are available. These are only broken up and reshuffled 'on shed' (in the maintenance depot). Trains are then built of one or more of these 'sets' coupled together as needed for the capacity of that train.Often, but not always, passenger cars in a train are linked together with enclosed, flexible gangway connections that can be walked through by passengers and crew members. Some designs incorporate semi-permanent connections between cars and may have a full-width connection, making in essence one longer, flexible 'car'. In North America, passenger equipment also employ tightlock couplings to keep a train reasonably intact in the event of a derailment or other accident.Many multiple unit trains consist of cars which are semi-permanently coupled into sets; these sets may be joined together to form larger trains, but generally passengers can only move around between cars within a set. This "closed" nature allows the separate sets to be easily split to go separate ways. Some multiple-unit trainsets are designed so that corridor connections can be easily opened between coupled sets; this generally requires driving cabs either set off to the side or (as in the Dutch Koploper) above the passenger compartment.
