Continental missile

PITSTOP

After the uber-luxurious Arnage R, Bentley is to introduce the delectable Continental GT in India.

It is the fastest four-seat coupé in the world, although the Ferrari Scaglietti might have a thing or two to say about that when it's out.

Featuring a 6000cc, 12 cylinder, twin-turbo engine with more than 500 bhp driving all four wheels through a paddle-operated, six-speed gearbox, the Continental GT should be enough to satisfy even the most die-hard speek freak, albeit one who owns a bank or three.

Interiors will be class-leading, so your posterior won't go sore while doing 300 kph down Marine Drive...just kidding, of course. Brought to India by Exclusive Motors, and to Mumbai by Upaj Motors, the car will be on display at NCPA, Nariman Point in Mumbai today and tomorrow. Now then, form an orderly queue...

Along with the Maybach, these machines also got their share of attention at the 2004 Auto Expo

Suzuki Concept-S

Shown first at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2001, the Concept-S is a neat little coupe from Suzuki. With its flared wheel arches, rounded edges and low stance, the Concept-S was certainly one of the most ogled cars at the Auto Expo 2004. And for good reason.

Suzuki's "vision of tomorrow's supermini" is sporty to look at, is powered by a sensible little 1300cc, petrol, inline-four and features sequential six-speed transmission.

In a nod to state-of-the-art technology, Suzuki have loaded this car with an advanced navigation system, Internet access, intelligent key card and even MP3 compatibility. We don't know if it'll ever make it to becoming production reality, but we hope it does.

Aprilia RSV 1000 R

From building only 125cc strokers barely 15 years ago, to producing 1000cc superbikes now, Aprilia has come a long way. Their RSV 1000 R is pretty much as cutting-edge as it gets in the world of 300 kph hyperbikes.

Powered by a 997cc, four-stroke, V-twin that makes about 170 horsepower, this absolutely gorgeous Latin motorcycle is the kind of stuff which wins World Superbike Championships. And if Aprilia and Hero Motors have their way, Indian enthusiasts might soon be able to buy this bike.

Hero Motors plan to set up Aprilia Lifestyle 'boutiques' in the four metros, where all Aprilia scooters and motorcycles "� including the awesome RSV "� will be available.

Full details are not yet available, but when the RSV 1000 comes to India, it's expected to cost about Rs 5 lakh, so Max Biaggi wannabes can start saving up now.
