evo India - November 2021

I dette nummeret

With the launch of the e-tron GT, Audi has furthered its push towards electrification, bringing in sportscar-like performance in a package that looks incredibly desirable. Audi India is putting electrification front and centre of its gameplan, expecting up to 15 per cent of sales to come from electrified cars by 2025. The e-tron GT plays to Audi’s strengths – offering a tech-laden experience, incredible performance, fantastic cornering and most of all better value than the equivalent combustion engined cars. There is plenty more inside the issue: we’ve pitted the Tata Punch against the Nissan Magnite and the Maruti Suzuki Ignis to find out if Tata’s latest (and India’s safest car as of going to press) really carves a segment of its own. We’ve also driven the 2021 Audi Q5, the VW Taigun 1.0 AT, the Skoda Slavia prototype and the Lamborghini Huracan STO. New driving destinations have been explored with the Hyundai i20 N Line and the Taigun has lit up our Diwali in ways more than one. We’ve also put together two super sedans – the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S and the BMW M5 Competition – to find out which is the better 600bhp+ V8-powered AWD riot! Add to that all the action on two wheels: the ballistic RE Continental GT-R 650, the Bajaj Pulsar 250s, the Ducati Monster, the Ola S1 Pro, the Yamaha R15 and the KTM RC200. Our tuned section features a tastefully done Ford Mustang and the clamorous Ferrari F8 N-Largo Spider by Novitec
