evo India - July 2021

I dette nummeret

The July 2021 issue of evo India magazine is out now and features the Ferrari Roma getting wet and wild in the Indian monsoon! With an engine derived from the F8 Tributo and over 600bhp on tap, it was an exercise in caution and bravery as we tried to reign in all of its horses on a rainy, foggy morning. Also on the cover is what we consider to be the new luxury EV benchmark, the Audi e-tron. We also have the Jaguar i-Pace and these two EVs couldn’t be more different from each other — while one focuses one luxury and serenity, the other is all about performance. We also lounge in the back seat of the ultra-opulent W223-gen Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the insanely kitted out Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. After all the prototypes we finally drive the production ready Skoda Kushaq and crown it the king of fun-to-drive SUVs. As Volkswagen gets ready with their Taigun we take a deep-dive into their drastically reduced cost of ownership. With 7-seater SUVs being the flavour of the month we compare the Hyundai Alcazar and the Tata Safari. We also head to one of our favourite driving roads in the Hyundai Creta, take a deep dive into the importance of convertible supercars, speak to one of evo India’s friends on why she bought the new Mahindra Thar, take three Nissan Magnite First Movers for a drive to Alibaug, drive the BS6-compliant Isuzus, and also get behind the wheel of the facelifted BMW 5 Series. There’s more high octane action! Our Tuned section features a Volkswagen Jetta with one-of-a-kind rims and a souped-up Tiago JTP with a blow-off valve to tingle the ears. You’ll also be greeted with everything you need to know about Ferrari’s first V6-engined car, plus news about Porsche’s first ever ‘GT’ model in the Cayenne lineup and Asia’s longest high-speed test track, which is right here in India! In the Fast Bikes section, we swing our leg around the 2021 TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and find out if the updates are positive.
