 A Miura concept car was presented at the American Museum of Tele
vision & Radio on January 5, 2006 alongside the Los Angeles Auto Show, though it was not present at the show itself. Instead, the Miura concept car officially debuted at the North American International Auto Show two weeks later. It was the first design to be penned by Lamborghini design chief, Walter de'Silva, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1966 Geneva introduction of the original Miura.

Lamborghini president and CEO Stefan Winkelmann denied that the concept would mark the Miura's return to production, saying “The Miura was a celebration of our history, but Lamborghini is about the future. Retro design is not what we are here for. So we won’t do the Miura

7 sarcastic rule for Indian Roads

On Indian roads, traffic laws are optional art forms. A red light signals a race, zebra crossings are floor décor, and honking is the official language. Driving here isn’t about discipline but about improvising like a street performer—survival demands sharp reflexes, blind faith, and a generous dose of sarcasm. 1 After all, why fix behaviour when you can sell accessories with a green signal? On Indian roads, rules are a comedy show. You cannot use earphones while riding a two-wheeler—it’s unsafe, they say. But a Bluetooth helmet? Oh, that’s perfectly fine! Because clearly, music and calls become safer when delivered through an overpriced helmet. As if the rider’s focus magically improves when the voice in their head comes from a “government-approved” gadget. Meanwhile, the same rider weaves through potholes, dodges cattle, and squeezes between buses like it’s an action stunt. Road safety here isn’t about logic, it’s about loopholes. After all, why fix behaviour when you can sell acces...

KTM X-Bow R

I t’s three years since bike manufacturer KTM branched out into cars, launching the X-Bow at the 2008 Geneva motor show. More than 500 brave drivers have been found to buy the X-Bow, ensuring the project has survived the recession and brought further evolution. Which brings us to this: the 2011 X-Bow R, an even faster version of the sports car. It’s a similar, pared-back two-seater, only this time the X-Bow R brings an uprated version of the Audi 2.0-litre four-cylinder. It’s the turbocharged TFSI engine, boosted to 296bhp and 295lb ft of torque. That’s more than in the donor Audi S3 and TT-S, which produce no more than 268bhp. Thank a larger turbocharger, reprogrammed Bosch engine management and new fuel injectors. And the engine changes are just scratching the surface of a series of upgrades to build this fastest ever KTM with four wheels. So the KTM X-Bow R is quicker than most Ferraris? Yes. Prod the throttle and the R simply flies towards the horizon. Ther...
