In early January 2014, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced the launch of Ghost V-Specification---a limited series of Ghost and Ghost Extended Wheelbase motor cars that will be available for customers to commission from January to June 2014. Now customers in India too can commission this car.
The V-Specification models will be priced 30 Lakh more than a standard Ghost model.

Ghost has been feted by the new maharajas of business, celebrities and other highly successful individuals.”
At the heart of the Ghost’s driving experience is its hallmark V12 engine. Acceleration is delivered with a characteristic immediacy and smoothness, propelling occupants from 0 to 100km/h in just 4.9 seconds with 80pc of power available from idle. This unique powertrain is celebrated with a 30bhp power increase on all Ghost V-Specification motor cars.
Elegantly applied design touches hint at Ghost V-Specification’s inherent dynamism. V-Specification motif coach lines finish the exterior paint-scheme whilst customers can either choose from five specially selected exterior colours, or from Rolls-Royce’s 44,000 hue palette. Optional
visible chrome exhausts and 21” part-polished wheels add further expression to the car’s dynamic promise.
The V-Specification motif is echoed around the car’s handcrafted interior through engraving to the treadplates, embroidery to the rear armrest and hand-applied steel inlays to the front multimedia screen lid. The interior is completed with an exclusively designed clock with a black crown surrounding the face.

Bentley’s new Flying Spur proved to be one of the star attractions at this year’s Power on Ice 2014 event in Finland. Guests and the four-time World Rally champion Juha Kankkunen alike enjoyed the opportunity to put the 6.0-litre W12 luxury sedan to the test on a range of challenging circuits carved into the frozen lakes.
“Although I have broken two ice-speed world records with Bentley and understand what these cars are capable of, it is remarkable to be able to drive a luxury sedan designed to deliver such great levels of refinement and comfort in these kind of harsh, wintery conditions and many miles from the nearest roads,” comments Kankkunen who is hosting the event.
“Our guests have been driving the Flying Spur quickly across the ice,
really enjoying themselves, and the stability and control from the all-wheel drive system has given everyone great confidence,” adds Kankkunen.
The Flying Spur has joined an array of Bentley Continental GT coupes in Finland and Juha is working alongside Bentley’s own factory-trained driving experts who are offering in-depth tuition designed to allow drivers to broaden their range of driving skills when faced by testing road and weather conditions.
Away from the thrill of learning how to drive the Bentley of their choice at high speed on ice, the four-day adventure in Finland offered guests the chance to unwind in exclusive and stylish surroundings and is one of a number of luxury experiences Bentley offered customers in 2014.

Record low temperatures have stranded many East Coast drivers in the United States, but not those driving a Toyota fuel cell hybrid vehicle. Connecticut-based Proton Onsite, which operates a fleet of ten Toyota FCHV-adv fuel cell vehicles, says that even in single digit temperatures, the FCHV-adv shows no signs of frostbite.
“We had another snow storm Tuesday night and this morning the temperature was 3 degrees,” says Mark Schiller, Proton vice president of business development. “I went out to my Toyota FCHV-adv and brushed off a foot of snow before starting the car right up. No problem.”
Unlike pure battery
electric vehicles that can see reductions in driving range in extreme temperatures, fuel cell vehicles’ performance stands up to freezing temperatures. “I continue to get range of about 300 miles despite the cold and blasting the heater,” says Schiller. “The vehicle performed flawlessly.”
Air Products in Allentown tells the same story.
“Our employees have driven it to community and business-related events during one of Pennsylvania’s worst winters in recent memory,” says Nick Mittica, Air Products’ commercial manager, hydrogen energy systems. “The FCHV-adv has had great performance.” That
performance is by design. Over the last decade, the Toyota fuel cell fleet has logged millions of miles in some of the most extreme climates on the planet. In Yellowknife, Canada, where temperatures reach -30 degrees Celsius, fuel cell engineers spent weeks verifying cold weather start up, performance and durability. In Death Valley, they verified that it also can beat the heat.
Wherever they go, Toyota engineers are working to ensure the fuel cell vehicle can handle whatever is thrown—or blown—its way. So when it hits the road in 2015, cold-weather customers can chill out about everything but bundling up!

LAND ROVER new Discovery XXV Special EditionLand Rover has unveiled a new Discovery XXV Special Edition as a celebration of the 25th anniversary year of the original launch of its versatile family SUV.
First introduced in 1989, the Discovery revolutionised the 4x4 landscape. Its combination of contemporary design, spacious and user-friendly interiors, unflinching capability and extreme versatility made it an instant hit. With the release of each new generation, the Land Rover Discovery has cemented its position as the most capable, versatile SUV in the world.
Thanks to its formidable array of innovative and award-winning technologies, from Terrain Response to Hill Descent Control, the Discovery is as
comfortable taking on everyday journeys as it is tackling the world’s harshest terrain – as numerous intercontinental expeditions have proved. Over its 25 years it has been chosen as the explorer’s choice to take on challenges and adventures; Sir Ranulph Fiennes used an original Discovery in his exhibition to discover the Lost City of Ubar, while the Discovery 3 was used on the record holding London-Cape Town drive in 2013. Discovery models have also been used in Land Rover’s own famous G4 Challenge and Camel Trophy.
The XXV special edition is based on the existing HSE Luxury specification and has been built to commemorate 25 years of Land Rover’s iconic
family SUV. The special edition vehicle has a unique interior colourway, distinctive external badging and a sophisticated and premium interior lined with Windsor leather.
Phil Popham, Group Marketing Director at Jaguar Land Rover, said: “Since its inception the Land Rover Discovery has been pivotal to the success of the brand and has now become an iconic design in its own right. Discovery has led the way in terms of innovation, featuring technologies such as Terrain Response, which made off-roading much more accessible. The Discovery XXV Special Edition is the ultimate in sophisticated versatility and a fitting tribute to the legendary status of this iconic Land Rover.”

Aston Martin is unveiling two exclusive new special editions at the 84th Geneva International Motor Show. The great British sports car marque, now in its 101st year, is debuting a bold addition to its iconic V8 Vantage range as well as dramatic new special editions of the timeless DB9.
V8 Vantage N430: race breeding, sports styling
Pure, unadulterated fun is what lies at the heart of the new V8 Vantage N430. Honed on the track to excel on the road, N430 – available in Coupe or Roadster form – boasts a power hike to 430bhp at 7,300 rpm that
brings its output up to that of the spirited V8 Vantage S.
Ian Minards, Director of Product Development at Aston Martin, said of the new car: “N430 is all about bringing track-honed excitement to the road in an accessible, emotionally engaging, and authentically ‘analogue’ way.
“The dynamic exhilaration of Vantage is the perfect complement to the eye-catching looks of the N430.”
ASTON MARTIN unveils two new special editions
Standard features include carbon fibre and Kevlar seats and ten-spoke forged alloy wheels in a new graphite painted finish – together yielding a weight saving of 20 kg. The new V8 Vantage N430 is capable of 190mph, with a 0-60mph time that drops to 4.6 seconds.
That power feeds the rear wheels through a sporty six-speed manual gearbox; with the option of a close-ratio seven-

speed Sportshift II automated manual transmission with short final-drive ratio for those demanding the most driver-focused yet involving set-up.
N430’s front mid-mounted, 4.7-litre, all-alloy, quad overhead cam, dry-sumped V8 engine is complemented by a rousing sports exhaust, aerodynamics honed through numerous wins in GT racing and a competition-derived braking system.
Countless hours testing at circuits around the globe, including the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife which is home to a dedicated Aston Martin Test Centre, have delivered a machine truly worthy to join Aston Martin’s family of ‘N’ cars.
Styled to evoke thoughts of the track, N430 celebrates
Aston Martin’s sporting
heritage and motorsport success.
DB9 Carbon Black & Carbon White
The Aston Martin DB9 family grows at Geneva with the arrival of the DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White special editions.
The new Carbon Black accentuates the 183mph DB9’s 6.0-litre V12 potential through a strong dark theme underpinned by a unique combination of lightweight carbon fibre features. Meanwhile, the contemporary Carbon White special edition creates a dramatic visual effect with the carbon fibre and dark elements contrasting strongly against the Stratus White paint and accented caliper colour.
Striking exterior additions for both Carbon Black and Carbon White editions include carbon fibre side strakes and black
window surrounds
reinforcing the powerful visual themes.
Inside, a strong black styling theme with a choice of accent colours in line with the caliper shade showcases carbon fibre details and new black hardware. Bespoke sill plaques with the Carbon Black or Carbon White logo, communicate the cars’ rarity, too.
Of course the styling changes don’t alter the DB9’s inherent grand touring capabilities, qualities that make it the world’s most admired and desired GT.
Today’s DB9 features the modern AM11 V12 engine which uses ‘Gen4’ VH architecture and hardware, tuned to suit
the character of a classic GT. The result is
an engine with effortless
torque of up to 620Nm and peak power of 517 PS.

AUDI S3 Cabriolet, more powerful than ever beforeAudi now brings the S3 Cabriolet. The open-top four-seater is unrivalled in its segment. Its 2.0 TFSI engine develops 300hp and delivers 380Nm of torque but, with S tronic, consumes just 7.1 litres of fuel per 100km on average. Of course, the S3 Cabriolet also makes use of quattro permanent all-wheel drive – the perfect foundation for optimal traction and driving dynamics in all road conditions. Absolute lightweight construction and a high-performance chassis complete the profile of the Audi S3 Cabriolet, which is set to arrive in dealerships in Germany this summer.
With S tronic the open-top four-seater accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. The top speed of 250km/h is limited electronically. When empty (without the driver), the Audi S3 Cabriolet weighs just 1,620 kilograms. The passenger compartment consists primarily of ultra-high-strength steel, and the hood is made of aluminum
The turbocharged 2.0 TFSI, which displaces 1,984cc (bore x stroke 82.5 x 92.8 mm), is a true sports engine. Heavy-duty aluminum pistons and higher-strength connecting rods transmit the forces to the crankshaft. The aluminum-silicon alloy used for the cylinder
head combines high thermal stability and strength with minimal weight. Two balance shafts ensure supremely smooth running performance.
From a visual standpoint alone, the Audi S3 Cabriolet cuts a sporty figure. It is 4.43 meters (14.53 ft) long, has a wheelbase of 2.60 meters (8.53 ft), and is 1.79 meters (5.87 ft) wide and 1.39 meters (4.56 ft) tall. The proportions are extended and balanced elegantly; precise lines and muscularly arched surfaces define the flanks.
The open-top four-seater has a soft top with an electro hydraulic drive. Magnesium, aluminum and high-strength steel keep its weight low. A highly insulating foam layer in the roof reduces the noise level in the interior. The top is available in three colours. It opens or closes in 18 seconds, even while driving at speeds up to 50km/h . An active rollover system protects passengers in the event of an accident.
Many design details hint at the dynamic driving potential of the open-top four-seater. The Singleframe grille, surrounded by a chrome frame, features a platinum-gray insert and double cross-struts with an aluminum look. The air intakes are framed by powerful edges and filled with double ribs and honeycomb
inserts. S3 badges adorn the front and rear. The 12 paint colours include the exclusive Panther Black, crystal effect and Sepang Blue, pearl effect.
Aluminum strips on the windshield frame and beltline, aluminum-look exterior mirror housings and edged sill trims define the sides. The taillights are equipped with LEDs as standard. The luggage compartment lid has a spoiler edge, and the bumper has been redesigned. An aluminum-look bar and four

vertical ribs give shape to the platinum-gray diffuser, which frames the four tailpipes typical of Audi S models.
The sport seats guide and support the body. The seat surfaces can be pulled out, and the backrests have embossed S3 logos. The upholstery is a mix of Pearl Nappa leather and fabric. Combinations of Alcantara and Pearl Nappa leather or Fine Nappa leather and Velvet leather are available as options. Contrasting stitching adds visual
touches. Other alternatives include the S sport seats with integrated head restraints and shoulder panels with diamond stitching and the Audi design selection in parade red. A special color pigment on all leather trim prevents seats from heating up too much in the sun.
The standard package for the Audi S3 Cabriolet also includes a sport leather steering wheel with the S3 emblem. A leather multifunction sport steering wheel with a flat-bottomed rim
is available on request, also with optional shift paddles. Other standard features are the pedals and footrests made from brushed stainless-steel. In combination with the optional convenience key, a red ring adorns the start-stop button. The aluminum door sills bear S3 logos. Other standard features include the anti-theft alarm, deluxe automatic air conditioning, Xenon plus headlights and the storage and luggage compartment package.

Honda’s appearance at the 2014 Geneva Motor show will lead with the worldwide reveal of the Civic Type R Concept model, providing the styling direction for the exterior design of the highly-anticipated production version that debuts in 2015. Dubbed by the design team as a ‘racing car for the road’, its bold and expressive styling
reflects the strong performance characteristics for which Type R is renowned.
Further underlining Honda’s leadership in the development of advanced technology, the FCEV Concept makes its first European appearance. Sleek and aerodynamic, the Concept points to the potential styling direction of Honda’s next-generation fuel cell electric vehicle which launches in the U.S. and Japan in 2015, followed by Europe.
Making its Motor show debut, Honda will highlight the powertrain layout of the new NSX supercar. The model showcases the longitudinal, V6 direct injection engine with twin turbo alongside Honda’s

The MCLAREN 650S ready for Geneva showMcLaren Automotive will return to the International Geneva Motor Show this year with its fastest, most engaging, best equipped and most beautiful series-production supercar yet.
The McLaren 650S joins the range as an additional model alongside the 12C and sold-out McLaren P1, and learns from both models as well as 50 years of competing in the highest levels of motorsport. Available as a fixed-head coupé or as a Spider, with a retractable folding hard top, the McLaren 650S promises to redefine the high performance supercar segment, and has been designed and developed to provide the ultimate in driver engagement on the road and on the race track.
The 650S badge designation refers to the power output – 641 bhp – of the unique British-built McLaren M838T twin turbo V8 engine. ‘S’ stands for ‘Sport’, underlining the focus and
developments made to handling, transmission, drivability and engagement. Performance figures will be confirmed ahead of the Geneva Show but will improve on the already rapid 12C which continues on sale.
The design is inspired by the McLaren P1, previewing a new family design language. The front bumper gives the McLaren 650S a dramatic, yet clean appearance and sits below new LED headlamps which reflect a similar look to the McLaren P1. The more integrated front splitter contributes to increased levels of downforce, giving a greater level of steering feeling and confidence to the driver on turn-in, while also adding to the agility and the car’s handling balance. Unique door blades behind the front wheels direct air from the trailing edges of the front splitter, further benefiting
front-end grip and vehicle balance.
The aerodynamic performance of the McLaren 650S is as efficient as the 12C, boasting the same drag coefficient figure, yet the air is being worked harder and more efficiently as it flows over, and through, the functional bodywork. At 150mph, downforce levels are increased by 24pc.
‘As always with McLaren, the new design is there for good engineering reasons,’ says McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt. ‘The newly designed front bumper improves downforce and steering turn-in. The high speed handling balance is now even better. The LED lights use less power and last longer.’

“We started our next 100 years of craftsmanship by kicking off 2014 with the launch of one of the best received Super Bowl commercials “Strike”, featuring the all-new Maserati Ghibli, and extending the brand to another massive cultural icon, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 50th Anniversary issue,” said Harald Wester, CEO of Maserati S.p.A.
“I had a great time driving the new Maseratis for their photographic campaign shot by photographer Francesco Carrozzini,” said Heidi Klum.
Italian Master Photographer, Francesco Carrozzini, shot the seven-page pictorial “Beyond the Swimsuit” which brings together ‘day in the life’ scenes that befit one of the world’s most famous women. Heidi Klum, the Hollywood star with the glamorous Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition, the business woman with the Ghibli S Q4 and the thrill-seeker with the GranTurismo MC Stradale Trofeo Race Car.
This is a nod to a brand with proven tradition and one of the highest standards of quality in the industry, which has been hard at work engineering automobiles that will usher them into the next 100 years of innovation. Maserati is and will always remain an automobile manufacturer capable of striking against the status quo.

HYUNDAI Motor unveils new concept car Intrado
Hyundai Motor has unveiled Intrado, its vision of how cars will meet future mobility needs. Far more than a styling exercise, Intrado demonstrates Hyundai’s belief that advanced vehicle technologies and intelligent design can combine to engage more effectively with driver and passengers.
Set to be revealed to the public at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, Intrado has resulted from fresh consideration of what consumers will need and expect of their cars in the near
future: cars that are easy to use, intuitive to interact with, and readily adaptable to the varying demands of their busy, active lifestyles.
Intrado takes its name from the underside of an aircraft’s wing – the area that creates lift. The car’s advanced materials and technologies also draw inspiration from aircraft, such as the removal of all unnecessary weight, logical solutions to complex challenges, inspired by a purity of purpose, and a highly efficient powertrain.
The exterior of Intrado presents a progressive interpretation of Hyundai’s established fluidic sculpture form language. The vehicle’s distinctive shape is dictated by the need to be aerodynamically efficient; it is free of unnecessary adornments and features minimal detailing. The body panels are made of advanced super lightweight steel from Hyundai Motor’s steel plant.
The interior of Intrado is defined by a focus on usability and adaptability, and draws

INTERNATIONAL
MARCH 2014 / 25MOTOWN INDIA SUPPLEMENT
attention to its advanced materials and radical construction to deliver the kind of functional beauty typically seen on high-end mountain bikes. The seals of opening panels shut directly against the central carbon frame, showcasing the carbon fibre whenever doors, hood or trunk are opened. Components that are usually concealed are highlighted, including the ‘see-through’ air vents and exposed frame onto which the seats clip directly. The use of bright ‘Beaufort Orange’ contrasts with the exposed carbon fibre, reflecting the car’s active brief and mirroring its restrained exterior detailing.
The super-lightweight structure of Intrado demonstrates Hyundai’s desire to produce lighter, stronger cars that are even better to drive and simpler to repair. The central carbon frame structure is constructed using new, patent-pending manufacturing and joining techniques that together have the potential to change the way cars are made. The strength and rigidity of this central structure also allow body panels to be constructed from any material, giving designers greater flexibility and aiding repairability. Lightweight steel impact structures further enhance crash performance and repair times.
Intrado is powered by a next-generation hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain that utilises a Li-ion 36 kWh battery. Refuelled in just a few minutes, Intrado has a range of up to 600 kilometres and emits only water. In addition to improved performance and increased range, Intrado promises more responsive and agile driving dynamics, thanks to the reduced weight and greater efficiency of its powertrain.
Intrado is the first Hyundai to have been developed under the direction of Peter Schreyer, who became President and Chief Design Officer of Hyundai Motor Group in January 2013. He commented: “Effortless and sensual, Intrado reflects the open-mindedness and constant renewal of the Hyundai brand. It also shows that Hyundai wants its customers to rediscover the joy and freedom that should be associated with personal mobility. That’s why this car has such purity of purpose – it’s logical, lovable and liveable.”
The result of close collaboration between Hyundai Motor’s design and engineering teams, Intrado was styled and engineered primarily at Hyundai Motor European R&D centre in Rüsselsheim, Germany – as indicated by its codename, HED-9 (Hyundai Europe Design). Thomas Bürkle, Chief Designer at Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre, led the design team that created the Intrado: “In line with its promise of a motoring future that is more relevant to users’ lifestyles, we have given Intrado a distinctive exterior and interior shape, formed from the lightweight frame that incorporates only what is necessary. The exterior is defined by a simple yet sporty profile which displays the latest interpretation of fluidic sculpture, while the interior shows how minimal ornamentation will perfectly fit into the varied lifestyles of the millennial generation.”

NISSAN BladeGlider to enthral European audienceNissan will be showing to the European audience for the first time at 84th Geneva Motor Show a bold new BladeGlider concept that challenges conventional thinking on performance car design. Inspired by Nissan’s innovative Zeod RC Zero Emission on Demand race car – set to take part in the 2014 Le Mans 24hr race under the event’s “Garage 56” rules – the BladeGlider features radical narrow front-track design layout that creates a distinctive swept-wing shape when viewed from above. Featuring perfect weight distribution thanks to the placement of the lithium ion batteries and in-board motors between the rear wheels, the
BladeGlider optimises power delivery with significantly reduced stresses at the front of the vehicle.
The company will also be showcasing the all-new X-Trail and all-new Qashqai. From the world debut of the zero-emissions e-NV200 to the European premiere of the GT-R Nismo, Nissan is demonstrating its unrivalled passion for design, engineering and innovation.
Now fully integrated into Nissan’s crossover range, the all-new X-Trail combines advanced 4x4 capabilities with a host of design and engineering features that have become hallmarks of Nissan crossovers. The new model also introduces
a number of innovative new-to-sector technologies such as bi-LED headlamps, Nissan Safety Shield and a fully integrated third-generation NissanConnect navigation and infotainment system.
Nissan is set to continue its dominance of the electric vehicle sector with the introduction of the e-NV200, which brings unprecedented refinement, with zero emissions and ultra-low running costs.
Celebrating one of the most successful launches in Nissan history, the all-new Qashqai is set to be a major draw at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Santa Fe was
one of the very
first offerings in
the premium SUV
segment when the
very segment started blooming.
Then along came a wave of other
manufacturers bringing in their
versions and the Santa Fe sort of
faded away somewhere behind
in the family picture. But this
did not dishearten the Korean
manufacturer. They buckled up
and went back to the drawing
board. And now for the year
2014, in all the grandeur of the
Auto Expo, Hyundai presented
the new Santa Fe.
This brilliant looking machine
gets straight thumbs up in the
looks department. From every
angle you behold it, it looks
absolutely graceful. It just has
about enough creases and
lines everywhere, not more not
less. The chrome trapezoidal
grille sits perfectly between the
striking angular headlamps. The
new Santa Fe is based on the
StromEdge design, which is an
extension of Hyundai’s fluidic
design language. The large
SUV is a mix of sportiness and
sophistication.
The interiors of the Santa Fe
are now as radical as the exterior.
The angular lines flow across
the entire dashboard. Sitting in
here you feel the Santa Fe has
grown to the next level in terms
of quality and appeal. Most
important is that the interiors
are not just form, but function
as well. You get keyless push-
button start, Bluetooth audio
connectivity, steering mounted

controls, a reverse camera
and 12 way adjustable
driver’s seat just to name
a few. You also get a dual
zone climate control which
works really very well.
The new Santa Fe will
come as a 7-seater. The
front row and the second
row are extremely spacious.
The second row of seats
can be reclined for added
comfort. The boot space is
enormous with the last row
of seats folded down, and
generous enough with them
open. Even the last row gets

air condition vents for
comfort. However do not
expect much in terms of
shoulder and head room
in the last row.
The engine powering
the Santa Fe is a 2.2 litre
diesel with 4WD which
has more than enough
pulling power for most
customers needs. You can
choose from a 6-speed
automatic or a 6-speed
manual transmission. We tested
the automatic variant and are
happy to report that it is a very
smooth shifter. The engine is
refined and has a lot of grunt.
One issue is the diesel clatter
that seeps in the cabin, but is a
very tiny one so can be ignored.
The handling dynamics are a
massive improvement over the
previous version of the Santa
Fe. The steering response can

be optimised between Sport,
Comfort and Normal. What that
does is makes it heavy for sporty
driving and soft for comfort
driving. Coupled with the
automatic gearbox and the Santa
Fe is a very easy car to drive.
The 4-wheel drive system
comes with differential lock to
conquer very difficult terrain.
This is another very impressive
thing about the Santa Fe, it
can actually get its shoes dirty
and come out the other side.
The price range of 26-30lakh
is steep and might put-off a
few buyers, but Hyundai is
not worried. It is a technical
showcase that how well their
engineers can make a car. The
way we see it, the Santa Fe is a
brilliant SUV for the price.

The Legend Continues
TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE
In the mind of a true motorcycling
enthusiast, Triumph Bonneville, or better
known as Bonnie, is an iconic name. Back
in 1959, the days of the original Bonneville
T120, this motorcycle was considered
as the E-Type of two wheels. Anybody with a
Bonneville considered himself as an action hero.
And just as the year 2013 ended, the British
manufacturer announced its entry in India. And
joy of joy, so did the Bonnie. I felt ecstatic riding
this beautiful icon.
Further through the years Triumph gave the
Bonnie a bigger heart, equipment kept updating,
more technology replaced older parts, even
the ownership of the brand changed, but what
did not change was that glorious styling which
remained intact. There are lashings of chrome
and black in the correct amounts across the
entire body. The cool retro dials and the classic
peashooter exhausts are a perfect mix of the
old school and the new. The cooling fins on
the engine block get chrome finishing as well.
Triumph has even left the ignition at the side of
the headlamp, just like the classic Bonneville, and
even shaped the fuel injection like carburettors to
keep the styling intact.
Back when the Bonnie was conceived, it had
a 650cc parallel twin engine with a 4-speed
transmission. In the 60s, the Bonnie was well
known for its engine prowess. It could cross
160kmph which was mind blowing in those
days. Later the engine size increased to 724cc,
and further bored to 744cc in the 70s. In 2001,
the completely new Bonnie was launched with
a 790cc engine. Finally the 865cc engine, with
a new fuel injection system, made its debut in

2008. This parallel twin mill
pumps out 67 horses and 68
Nm of pulling power. The critical
word to be considered for this
motorcycle is ‘effortless’. For
all the hotheads, this is not a
crotch rocket. This is the Bonnie.
Riding an iconic machine like this
sets a retro tone. You ride it like
somebody who is not bothered
about performance figures and
lap time numbers. You ride it to
make a statement that you have
grown past these things.
Mind you this does not
mean that the Bonnie is not
fast. When the mood takes you
fancy, the Bonneville responds
as a very capable and nimble
motorcycle. Being a parallel twin
completely changes the appeal
from a lazy V-twin. The engine
spins high and responds quickly
through the shifts, in fact a bit
too quickly. The fuelling system
is abrupt in response for most
riders liking, but hopefully you’ll
get used to it. The Metzeler tyres
are extremely good and can
negotiate a variety of surfaces
found on our roads. The retro
looks of the Bonnie might fool
you in thinking that it handles
like a sofa, but it is brilliant in
the handling department. The
steering feels light and responds
to the slightest directional
inputs. Another ace up its sleeve
is the suspension which gives a
very comfortable and planted
ride.
Getting to 160kmph is very
easy for the Bonnie. However,
what you’ll love is the brawny
delivery it gives. Vibrations creep
in after you go past that mark.
A word of warning, the oil filter
placement is problematic and
the slightest scrap on a speed
humps will make it pee. All I say
is the ground clearance is fair,
but be careful. As a bonus, the
Bonnie returns about 20-25km
to a litre of petrol. At 5.7lakh,
the Triumph Bonneville not just
gives you a lot of motorcycle,
but also that strong evocative
motorcycling legacy which is
hard to find in today’s sea of
mindless numbers.
