autoX - June 2019

En este asunto

We dial up the horsepower this summer as we drive some of the hottest cars from the Porsche’s (992) 911 and Macan, Mercedes-AMG C43 and BMW Z4 to the new 228bhp Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works edition. The world of two-wheelers has seen a lot of action with Hero bringing out its new 200cc Xpulse bikes while Suzuki’s new quarter-litre Gixxer SF takes to the smooth flowing tarmac of the BIC. Meanwhile, Honda’s new CB 300R has finally made it to India and the new Benelli TRK 502 takes on the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT. Taking a step into the future, we also sample the Kia Soul EV that has a very realistic 452km driving range... So go grab your copy of the June issue of autoX magazine to stay up to speed with all things automotive!

Pocket Rocket

Small car, powerful engine, razor-sharp handling and a technically demanding race track – the perfect recipe for a day of enthusiastic driving! We take the Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works edition to the Chennai racetrack to see if it really does handle like a go-kart.

Coupe Whoop

385bhp may not sound a whole lot for a car that proudly wears the AMG badge, but it’s the ease with which the power can be extracted that makes it fun. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe looks absolutely stunning!

Return Of The Z

After a four-year hiatus, the Z4 roadster is back – and you have Toyota to thank for that. To tell you all about it, we got in the driver’s seat of the top-spec variant – the one with the M-badge on it.

Perils Of Success

How do you improve on a product that’s already the fastest-selling vehicle you’ve manufactured in your 70-year history? It’s an unenviable challenge that Porsche faces with the latest version of its best-selling SUV – the Macan.

Crushing Crusaders

With Mercedes bagging the toptwo positions in all of the five races so far, and Ferrari going backwards, is it possible for the Silver Arrows to be beat?
