Flamboyance GT

                     True story. The other day, I was walking along, in my own world, filled with thoughts. Then, something happened. It shook my nerves. It sent a chill accompanied by a shiver down my spine. It was a roar. It was a thunderous bark followed by a wail. A wail filled with emotion. It was amazingly angry and determined, yet so lamentingly touching. This is how I would like to describe the symphony played by a Lamborghini Aventador. It is one thing to hear an Aventador in videos, but beholding the bellow of 12 petrified pistons in real life... Well, all I can say is, it is on a different planet. Truly, it is one of the most amazing things you can hear in life, apart from the "yes!" Of course. But sound apart, why not take a look at the car itself? Particularly the 1st gen one. Why? You'll know in a bit. Keep reading... A legendary V12 engine utilized for over half a century has been laid in its grave. A new one ...

It was the brainchild of Count Vincent and Domenico Agusta. Funded by an aviation company founded back in the 20s by Count Giovanni Agusta, MV Agusta was founded by an ambitious plan. A need for affordable transportation in post war Italy. The bikes MV Agusta created were modified and were famous all over Italy for being competitive on the track. This started a history of racing for the MV Agusta brand. But all good things in life inevitably come to an end. It did, with the death of Count Domenico in 1971. MV underwent a downward spiral . The brand was ceasing production facing heavy losses and low demand. And by 1980, the MV Augusta brand, famous for their passion for bikes, was officially dead. But there has to be a faint source of light towards the end of a tunnel, shou...

When it comes to iconic film cars, one overshadows the rest. One overpowers the rest. One crushes the rest. I'm talking about the Aston Martin DB5, which starred in Goldfinger and Thunderball, piloted to stardom by Sir Sean Connery. It is classy. It is exactly what you would expect from an Aston Martin. A gentleman's express. But something more important. It's bold. I'll tell you what I mean. Take a look at it. To some eyes, It may be beautiful, and to some others, maybe not so much. But one aspect is common for both of these types of beholders. The DB5 is a bold design move, which turned out just right. It has a properly classic English straight six displacing 4 litres. It is a beating heart well ahead of its time. Why? Nearly 300 English ponies in 1963 was absolutely unheard of, in a road car. Think about it. Bond would have required all of it. Now, let's put this in perspective. The Lamborghini Miura , which was unveiled to shocked, yet delighted eyes thre...

Times have changed. It has been a decade since the exciting unveiling of "The world's cheapest car". A mistake of massive proportions right there itself. There have been very good reasons why the Tata Nano would go on to never achieve the success it was made for. What Tata has done with the Nano has been rather interesting. A bare bones small, or rather miniscule car with a 650cc twin cylinder beating heart, powering it through 4 gears with both a manual and a surprising automatic method of choosing between them. It was a car with a distinct personality. It was weird and it was different. The engine was in the back, it was rear wheel drive and when the engine was ticking over, you knew it. You could hear both the imbalanced  pistons working hard, struggling through life, but never even thinking of giving up. They are like a couple, who were always there for each other, working harmoniously together, albeit the sorrows they had to face and still face brings pain. T...
