India's definitive choice for sedan!
-
In a country where the automotive scene is as lively as a Bollywood dance number, there's one sedan that enjoys the celebrity level of attention-the Volkswagen Virtus. Buckle up as we take you on a joyride through the twists and turns of why the Virtus has become India's go-to sedan, combining sass of performance, premium interiors, and a touch of automotive magic.
The heart of the Virtus lies in its performance, driven by two turbopetrol engines-a 1-litre TSI which is complemented by a slick-shifting 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic and a 1.5-litre TSI EVO, for those who crave an extra dose of power.
You can choose between a 7-speed DSG automatic and a 6-speed manual transmission, which offers unmatched performance without compromise-a true VIRTU(S)oso of the road.

HISTORY CHANNEL
When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
