India’s leading car-maker, Maruti Suzuki has lost market share in six out of seven cars it sells in the popular mini and compact segment in the passenger car market. Alto turned out to be the only model from Maruti stable in the category to register any growth during the last fiscal.

The mini and compact segment, which features popular models like Alto, Wagon R, Swift from Maruti, Santro, I10 and I20 from Hyundai, Indica from Tata Motors, and Spark from General Motors, currently comprises about 73 per cent of the total car sales in India.Suzuki has revealed the first images of its all new mini, the A-Star which is all set to debut at the upcoming Paris Motor show in October. The Indian version A-Star will come with 4-doors instead of the two-door car shown in the images. The A-Star will replace the Alto in the European market while it will be continue to be sold alongside the Alto and Wagon-R in India.
The styling as we said has been toned down from the concept car which was first unveiled at the Delhi Auto Expo earlier this year. The high bonnet line, low grille and the vertically stacked ’toddler eye’ headlamps at the front make it look ‘cute’ and ‘cheeky’ at the same time. The shoulder line sweeps upwards just like the Swift as it meets the rear quater panel resulting in smaller glass house for the rear windows which might not go well with the passengers sitting at the back. Overall, the car is well rounded and the cute looks will appeal to everyone.

It took more than three decades (and his wife's death) for Enzo Ferrari to officially acknowledge his extramarital son, Piero Lardi Ferrari. Piero is now deputy chairman of the Italian automaker and owns ten percent of the company, but if there's any lingering doubt of his belonging in the family, it should be banished by 2013. That's when Piero joins his father and half brother, Dino, with a Maranello-made sports car bearing his name.

Based on our spy illustration (right), you may have guessed that the Ferrari Piero is the successor to the 2002-2004 Enzo and follows closely to the same formula: a mid-mounted engine, carbon-fiber construction, and a price of well over half a million dollars. But there's also something different, and it's a big deal: turbocharging. In an effort to increase performance -- the Enzo made 650 hp and ran to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds -- and reduce emissions, Ferrari will certainly lower displacement and will likely drop the cylinder count below twelve. Of course, engineers are also looking for places to cut mass, which could mean a sub-3000-pound curb weight for the Piero.As for the new Enzo, Ferrari’s boss has previously confirmed that the successor will receive a twin-turbo V8. The downsizing from the V12 does not, however, imply in any way a shortage on power: the new model has been pegged as having over 700 horses at its disposal. This power will go through a seven-speed sequential gearbox, with a dual-clutch setup to help with the general operating of the car.

Ferrari  458 Italy (2011) is very impressive sports car with a striking design with a very fine line to display the speed issue is undoubtedly advanced concept ferrari that aspect, Ber-engine 590 horsepower and 412 pound feet of torque 0-62 km H / in time 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 205 mph.Car also lowered by 20 mm and is equipped with 20-inch wheels on the front axle and 21-inch wheels in the back, all shod with Michelin Pilot tires Sport.Interior also be enhanced by improving kit stone, leather, ultra suede and carbon trim upgrades to 458 taxi Italy. Another highlight is the newly designed airbag sports steering wheel and aluminum pedals in full size.The Ferrari 458 Italia's Pininfarina design provides further evidence of the complete departure from the past that this new car hails. The Ferrari 458 Italia has a compact, aerodynamic shape, underscoring the concepts of simplicity, efficiency and lightness that inspired the project. As with every Ferrari, the car's styling has been very heavily influenced by the requirements for aerodynamic efficiency, as can be seen from the downforce of 140 kg at 200km/h generated by the new model. The front features a single opening for the front grille and side air intakes, with aerodynamic sections and profiles designed to direct air to the coolant radiators and the new flat underbody. The nose also sports small aeroelastic winglets which generate downforce and, as speed rises, deform to reduce the section of the radiator inlets and cut drag.
The new 4499 cc V8 is the first Ferrari direct injection engine to be mid-rear mounted. It has a very low piston compression height typical of racing engines which contributed to achieving its compression ratio of 12.5:1. Equipped with the traditional flat-plane crankshaft, the engine delivers 570 CV at 9000 rpm and, with an outstanding power output of 127 CV/litre, sets a new benchmark not only for the whole Ferrari range and the history of company, but also for the entire market segment. Maximum torque is 540 Nm at 6000 rpm, over 80 per cent of which is available from 3250 rpm. Specific torque is a record 120 Nm/litre. However, what is truly extraordinary is the amount of torque available while still maintaining high levels of power at low revs.
The car's soundtrack is also typical Ferrari, with an exciting, powerful growl emerging from the engine before it channels through to the exhaust's three rear tailpipes.more details
