Tesla has been interested in investing in India for years but recent news suggests that an agreement could be settled between the American electric vehicle (EV) company and the world’s most populous nation. Bloomberg reported that the Indian government and Tesla are closing in on a deal that would allow the American automaker to officially import into the country in 2024 and set up a factory within 2 years.

Purists might lament the fact that Toyota is developing an 8-speed automatic (8AT) for the GR Yaris but then again, if purists dictated the direction of the automotive industry, we wouldn’t even have power steering. An automatic option increases the appeal to a wider target market, which means more money to be earned and that leads to the possibility of developing more enthusiast-focused cars. Anyway, the development team behind the 8AT GR Yaris invited Japanese publication BestCarWeb to get the

With the recent launch of the Audi RS6 and RS7, plus the BMW M3 and BMW M4 performance cars on our shores, it seems that there is a shift in direction towards the torque converter transmission (TCT) on core performance models.

Mazda's next SUV model will come packing rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and a 3.0-litre straight-six engine.

Leaked images of the all-new 2021 Subaru BRZ have surfaced ahead of its global debut, which will be happening a little later. The 2021 Subaru BRZ retains the sleek coupe profile as the outgoing BRZ and sport 18-inch wheels that look almost identical to the Toyota GR Yaris. Powertrains are still under wraps but we speculate that it would receive a new 2.4-litre naturally-aspirated boxer engine that produces 220 PS and 240 Nm. A 6-speed manual will be featured along with a possibly new 8-speed aut

Following their debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January this year, famed Toyota tuner Tom’s will open orders for their tuned 2020 Toyota GR Supra and 2020 Toyota Century this weekend. The Supra gets a new turbo, intercooler and an ECU tweak among other mods to bump the power up from 335 PS to 460 PS.
