Fast Cars

Exhaustive market research has revealed that there is growing demand for fast cars among the design-oriented consumers and the young executives.

Among the fast cars that we have today, first name that rings a bell is General Motors’ Chevrolet SRV which is India’s first Premium Sportsback car. The SRV’s powerful 1.6-litre petrol engine with VGIS technology has four valves per cylinder and dual overhead camshafts driven by a toothed belt for silent operation. The engine generates 101 PS and 140 Nm of torque. Despite excellent performance characteristics, fuel efficiency is ensured thanks to the engine’s unique VGIS technology, which provides a uniform spread of power and torque from low rpm upward.

Then we have Chevrolet Optra Magnum. Magnum’s Turbocharged Common Rail Direct Injection has an engine utilizes second-generation common rail technology. Diesel fuel is injected at a very high pressure of 1,600 bar through a multi-step injection process. The Optra diesel is faster and more powerful than many petrol driven cars currently on the market, delivering peak power of 120.5 ps and peak torque of 314 Nm (which is more than 100 Nm higher than the Skoda Octavia).
