Five 400 BHP+ Cars India Will Soon Get

Snapshot – Big Bhp numbers are what drive high performance cars and the Indian car market now hosts almost every major high performance car brand of the world. Over the next six months, a slew of powerful, fast cars will be imported and launched in the country. Today, we’ll fill you in about five, 400 Bhp plus cars that will be launched in the next 6 months, with the flood gates opening as early as later this month.

W222 Mercedes Benz S-Class S63 AMG

On the 30th of this month, Mercedes Benz will launch a trio of high performance cars in India, of which the S-Class S63 AMG will be one. Based on the latest generation, W222 S-Class, which has been going great guns in the luxury saloon market, the S63 AMG variant will be the sportiest, and more powerful model in the line up.

 

An import through the completely built route, the S-Class S63 AMG will marry luxury with high performance. To do just this, you get a 5.5 liter V8 twin turbo petrol engine with 577 Bhp and 900 Nm on tap. The 0-100 Kph run will be dispatched in 4.4 seconds while the top speed is electronically limited to 250 Kph.

Mercedes Benz G63 AMG

The fastest off roader on earth will make its India comeback on the 30th of July 2015. The G63 is the AMG massaged version of the off roader, with a 5.5 liter twin turbo V8 petrol engine putting down 544 Bhp of peak power and 760 Nm of peak torque. Even the brick like aerodynamics do little to stop the SUV from reaching 100 Kph in a blistering 5.1 seconds.

The aerodynamics catch up only at higher speeds though, limiting top speed to 210 Kph. However, this off roader has never been about chasing top speeds. Instead, dune bashing, hill climbing and mud plugging is what the G63 AMG will revel in, and run rings around other similar SUVs. Of course, you’ll have luxury to accompany.

Ford Mustang

The ‘Stang is available with a right hand drive layout for the first time in its production history, and it’s coming to India later this year. Ford has already begun the homologating process of the car at the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI).

 

The Mustang’s GT variant is likely to be sold here, and was already spotted at the ARAI. The all-American muscle car will be the first such offering in India across brands. For Ford, the Mustang is meant to be a brand builder, showcasing customers what the brand is capable of. For enthusiasts, it will be an opportunity to drive home an icon. Facts and figures?

The AMG GT will also be the most expensive Mercedes Benz car to be sold here, with a price tag in excess of 2 crore rupees.

Nissan GT-R

The Godzilla is coming and you can now drive the same car that gives Sachin Tendulkar his thrills.
