The DC pavilion was full of media when the launch was held by our Bollywood Icon Mr Amitabh Bachan on the curtain raiser on 5th of January.
The DC Avanti is the first sports car to be made by an Indian firm, the news gets even better when it was confirmed that the DC Avanti is not just a concept but a road worthy prototype that has been confirmed for production.
The production run for the Avanti will begin in 2013 and the car will be powered by Ford's revolutionary EcoBoost engine technology.
The unit is a 2.0 litre DOHC four cylinder featuring Direct Injection, four valves per cylinder with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and turbo charging. Power output has been rated at 243PS with 366Nm of torque. The engine meets Euro 5 norms and an ECU remap can make it comply with Euro6 legislations as well, the company is eyeing the export market as
well with the Avanti.
The engine will be mated to a six speed manual for the throttle lovers, while a six-speed dual clutch gearbox will be on offer for a higher technological buyer. There is a top speed which is electronically limited to 250 km/h, other features include ABS and Airbags as standard. With its low slung silhouette and sports car levels of performance the Avanti will no doubt be on the minds of petrolheads across the nations with or without deep pockets.
But at an unbeatable price tag of Rs. 30 lakhs the DC Avanti makes a strong case for itself as a proper sports car.
