Dilip Chabbria renowned Indian Automobile designer which has done
designing on various International projects like the James Bond flick,
Die Another Day car Aston Martin DB9, and various limo projects in
Mumbai for Bollywood Stars. They are the masters in making Vanity Vans
for the Bollywood Artists, biggies like Sanjay Dutt and Anil kapoor.
From the movies "Dil to pagal hai", "Chal Mere Bhai" to the latest car
flick Tarzan "the wonder car" they are the Favourite Automobile Designer
in India.
Now in the Auto Expo 2012, they have come up with a supercar "AVANTI" which by looks seems like an Indian made Ferrari.
The DC pavilion was full of media when the launch was held by our
Bollywood Icon Mr Amitabh Bachan on the curtain raiser on 5th of
January.
The DC Avanti is the first sports car to be made by an Indian firm, the
news gets even better when it was confirmed that the DC Avanti is not
just a concept but a road worthy prototype that has been confirmed for
production.
The production run for the Avanti will begin in 2013 and the car will
be powered by Ford's revolutionary EcoBoost engine technology.
The unit is a 2.0 litre DOHC four cylinder featuring Direct Injection,
four valves per cylinder with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and turbo
charging. Power output has been rated at 243PS with 366Nm of torque. The
engine meets Euro 5 norms and an ECU remap can make it comply with
Euro6 legislations as well, the company is eyeing the export market as
well with the Avanti.
The engine will be mated to a six speed manual for the throttle lovers,
while a six-speed dual clutch gearbox will be on offer for a higher
technological buyer. There is a top speed which is electronically
limited to 250 km/h, other features include ABS and Airbags as standard.
With its low slung silhouette and sports car levels of performance the
Avanti will no doubt be on the minds of petrolheads across the nations
with or without deep pockets.
But at an unbeatable price tag of Rs. 30 lakhs the DC Avanti makes a strong case for itself as a proper sports car.
