March 2015 issue brief

The March 2015 issue of evo India has every generation of the car that put India on wheels, the Maruti 800. We’ve also been busy answering some important questions: can hybrid tech take on the petrol engine stalwarts? (BMW’s i8 v Audi R8 v Porsche 911 Carrera); which is the best sports diesel out of the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes C220 CDI; and what makes a car cool with the Fiat Abarth 595 Competizione, VW Beetle, and Mini Cooper. Also in the issue, the finale of our Great Overland Adventure; the Camaro Z/28, 562bhp Audi R8 LMX, new Audi TT Roadster, VW Jetta and Hyundai’s 4S Fluidic Verna driven. Oh and we ride Ducati’s “everyday” bike, the superbly talented Scrambler.
