Porsche 918 Spyder
We couldn’t take our eyes off this gorgeous machine which was unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow. The Porsche Spyder 918 was a blockbuster which drove the crowds wild with its looks and the technical specs sheet was a bigger hit
If 500 bhp from a 3.4 litre V8 engine doesn’t make your jaw drop, then the name of the transmission just might. The 918 features a 7-speed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe PDK transmission. Our heart goes out to all those who failed miserably to read that word. Honestly we haven’t figured it out yet. Read more

2010 Ford Figo Car Launch in India at Taj, New Delhi: Photo Gallery & Video
Today, ICB was there at the Taj, New Delhi, covering the launch of the much anticipated small car, the Ford Figo Hatchback.
While, we expected lots of glitter as dimpled bollywood hottie Gul Panag was scheduled to unveil the car, we’re a tad disappointed as the launch was a pretty formal, or if we daresay, a boring affair.
This, despite quizmaster Derek O’ Brien doing the MC’ing. A part of this factor could be due to fact that Ford India had already given us, the media a complete briefing at the Figo’s media launch in balmy Goa.
At today’s launch, Ford India announced the killer pricing details of the Ford Figo, something we had managed to snare long, long ago. The car’s specifications and the different trim levels were also announced.
You can catch a comprehensive report on the Ford Figo right here, on Indiancarsbikes. Coming to the car itself, we managed to snap up plenty of pics for your viewing pleasure. Also, we managed to shoot a little video of the Ford Figo.
