Audi A4


After the thriving launch of Audi A6 in India at the Aurangabad branch, the Audi officials are very crucial to launch its new model Audi A4 in the market from the very same plant at Aurangabad. If we consider to what the company officials say, we find that the company has been able to conglomerate at the market sales in the past seven-eight months. Audi is well planned to launch its A4 model at all its selected dealer center locations which are nearly twelve through out the nation.
Nearly 50 employees are working in CKD (Completely Knock Down) production department of the company at the group plant at Aurangabad. Indian team for the Audi production is skilled in terms of production efficiency, electronics, logistics and the available quality of the automobile. These trainees are trained at Neckarsulm at Germany.

Looking at the safety side of the car we find that the car is provided with front and side crash protectors. With (FSI) Fuel Stratified Injection system present in 2.0 TFSI and 3.2 V6 FSI petrol/gasoline engines, the car is highly equipped to give a power out-put of 200 and 255 PS or 147 and 188 KW. Both the engines give designs of engine power with four-valve per cylinder designs. According the company officials the five-valve engine is incapable to compete with the fuel stratified injection system. 2.0 TDI diesel engine is now equipped with 16 valves, there by making the car more compatible in accordance with the other cars. The earlier present 2.5 TDI engine car is now turned 3.0L which is capable of offering 204 PS or can say 150 KW. Its 5-speed manual transmission is changed to a 6-speed transmission.

The new Audi A4 has the subtle styling that whispers class and a build quality. The attention to detail inside is second to none, and the drive is certainly not going to disappoint. There is good reason the new Audi A4 is proving to be so popular.

Externally the A4 wears the new Audi goatee which lends a real aggression to the front end. Internally the new A4 has a notice to detail only Audi could manage. All materials feel expensive and the fit and finish is impeccable. As you would imagine from an Audi A4, there is abundance room to seat 4 adults comfortably, plus with the boot being one of the largest in its class, you won’t have to travel light either.

All versions of the new Audi A4 come well equipped with kit, but the S and SE models prove to be great value with competitive prices plus loads of kit and toys too.

The new Audi A4 rides and handles fantastically. With either front wheel drive or the Audi Quattro four wheel drive system, grip is sufficient. Cornering is also direct and sharp, but the suspension is still refined enough to not be upset by poor surfaces.

There is a range of 10 engines available for the new A4. The range starts with the 1.6 petrol, and goes all the way up to a 3.2 diesel, with 8 various petrol and diesel lumps in between. All the engines are more than capable, and it really comes down to preference.

Company officials are expecting that they would boom the market with their new Audi A4. So, we think that the result come forward.

The fall of America

French demographer Emmanuel Todd's "After the Empire" is best seller in Europe and is now available in English.

Who is Emmanuel Todd ?

He is one of the few who predicted the collapse of the Soviet Empire in his book published in 1976.

Now in his book "After the Empire", he has predicted collapse of USA. And he has reason to explain why he thinks so.

Read what he says.............

After World War II, Japan and Europe accepted USA leadership as a safeguard, with the military power of USA , against Soviet Union. But now the circumstances are changed. Soviet union is no more strong. Europe is now industrial more powerful than the USA. USA administration policies pushed Europeans closed to resource rich Russia.

The USA entered the 20th Century with plenty of resources of natural resources, powerful industrial production, and imports were less than the exports which made USA the most powerful and self-reliant economy of the world. It began exporting its manufacturing and technology base in the 1980s and has since run up a skyrocketing trade deficit - and a foreign debt of nearly one and a half billion dollars a day.

Companies like Wall-Mart, now produce their products in poor countries, out of America, like China and Bangladesh. This not only increased unemployment in USA, but widen the import-export gap. In 1990s , the import-export gap was 10,000 Crore US $, which now has grown to 7,63,000 Crore US $. America has become a sort of black hole - absorbing merchandise and capital but incapable of furnishing the same goods in return.

During 1940s, half of the goods, produced in the world, were produced in USA. Now most of the goods are produced by China and Japan.

Because of idea of USA being rich, European and Asian countries sell products on credit. If these countries stop selling their goods on credit to USA, then collapse of USA will be the only result. Now-a-days European countries are trying the best to promote their Euro against US $. The day Euro replaces US $ in international business, America will follow the footprint of Russia.

Buckypaper

Buckypaper is 10 times lighter but potentially 500 times stronger than steel when sheets of it are stacked and pressed together to form a composite. Unlike conventional composite materials, though, it conducts electricity like copper or silicon and disperses heat like steel or brass.

Buckypaper is made from tube-shaped carbon molecules, 50,000 times thinner than a human hair, that were first developed in the early 1990s. Buckypaper owes its name to Buckminsterfullerene, or Carbon 60 - a type of carbon molecule whose powerful atomic bonds make it twice as hard as a diamond.

Among the possible uses for buckypaper that are being researched at FAC2T:

  • If exposed to an electric charge, buckypaper could be used to illuminate computer and television screens. It would be more energy-efficient, lighter, and would allow for a more uniform level of brightness than current cathode ray tube (CRT) and liquid crystal display (LCD) technology.

  • As one of the most thermally conductive materials known, buckypaper lends itself to the development of heat sinks that would allow computers and other electronic equipment to disperse heat more efficiently than is currently possible. This, in turn, could lead to even greater advances in electronic miniaturization.

  • Because it has an unusually high current-carrying capacity, a film made from buckypaper could be applied to the exteriors of airplanes. Lightning strikes then would flow around the plane and dissipate without causing damage.

  • Films also could protect electronic circuits and devices within airplanes from electromagnetic interference, which can damage equipment and alter settings. Similarly, such films could allow military aircraft to shield their electromagnetic "signatures," which can be detected via radar.
So far, buckypaper can be made at only a fraction of its potential strength, in small quantities and at a high price.

Carbon nanotubes are already beginning to be used to strengthen tennis rackets and bicycles, but in small amounts. The epoxy resins used in those applications are 1 to 5 percent carbon nanotubes, which are added in the form of a fine powder. Buckypaper, which is a thin film rather than a powder, has a much higher nanotube content - about 50 percent

Mahindra Bolero



One glance at the Bolero’s bulbous exterior and the lack of curves makes its presence felt. Maybe a few years back this would have been known as an SUV but then progression of SUVs has moved so progressively in India that the lack of curves and boxy look makes the Bolero look different. The front bumpers do add a nice touch and makes a nice statement. The rugged out of town is the one that stands out. The only statement you make when you own one is that you make frequent trips out of town and you have a large family to move around.

The engine on offer is a 2.5l diesel and is much more refined than the previous offering. This does not take much from the power which is 64bhp at 3200rpm. It is a really good companion for traveling away from the tarmac and good low end torque to ride over gradients and basically anything different from the tarmac’s potholes. The suspension is on the stiff side which is very evident at slow speeds but then evens out at high or even moderate speeds. The steering is quite responsive taking into consideration the bulk it has to handle and the transmission is something we will try not to talk about. The heavy clutch and gearshifts add to the woes.

The seating positions and leg views are adequate to say the least. The mileage figures are the ones that really catch the eye and could be the USP for this brawler. You can expect close to 14kpl in the city and an astonishing 18kpl on the highway.

Advantages :
  • Mileage
  • Value for money
  • Ruggedness
Disadvantages :
  • Plastic interiors
  • Bear Box
  • Boxy looks
