BMW S1000RR Shootout - Street

His insatiable thirst for life is only surpassed by his monthly fuel bill. Whether rocketing on land, flying through the air, or jumping the seas, our Associate Editor does it all and has the scars to prove it.

For the first-time ever, German motor-sports giant BMW enters Super bike Smack down competition with its all-new S1000RR. Earlier we had the opportunity to ride it during a stand alone test in Portugal. Read about it in the 2010 BMW S1000RR First Ride and then check out how it fared in our Super-bike Smack-down VII Track test too. BMW’s flagship Super-bike features more techno-wizardry than any other mass-produced production street bike. Adjustable multi-mode engine power, traction control and ABS, an electronic quick-shifter, and an ultra high-tech Inline Four engine that spins up to 14,000 revs and delivers 180-plus rear wheel horsepower all for a price that is competitive with all four of the motorcycles from Japan. It’s amazing.

ENGINE

 

Powering BMW’s S1000RR is a liquid-cooled 999cc Inline Four with a conventional firing order as used on the Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki. Bore/stroke dimensions are 80 x 49.7mm which gives the BMW the most oversquare piston size of the four-cylinder group. A 16-valve cylinder head with double overhead camshafts is also shared. Intake charge is compressed to 13:1 ratio which is identical to the RSV4R but down 0.4 compared to the class-leading KTM.

Twist the grip and you’ll notice that its pull feels heavier than rest of the bikes, which takes a bit of time to get used to. Power comes on nice and smooth but feels mellow like the rest of the four cylinders with exception of the GSX-R. Engine vibration is minimal and right on par with the Ninja but is still not as balanced as the R1. As revs climb through 6000 rpm the BMW churns out a linear spread of power but it’s nothing too impressive compared to the punch of the V-Twins and the CBR. However, keep the throttle pinned and when the teach needle hits nine grand things start to happen quick…

All of a sudden it feels like someone pressed the nitrous button with a burst of acceleration. Peak torque is reached at a lofty 10,700 rpm with it churning out 80.31 lb-ft of the good stuff, giving it the highest peak torque figure aside from the Twins. But it isn’t over yet. As revs increase further the whirl of the valve-train makes a sound like you’re at the controls of an F1 car—no joke, it sounds insane. Hold on tight as the engine shrills to life pumping out more horsepower at 11,000 revs than any other bike in this test! And the best part? You still have another 3000 rpm to go! With the throttle buried to the stop the engine sounds like it’s about to explode throwing you forward with such voracity that all other liter-class bikes now feel slow.

At 13,300 rpm, peak horsepower is reached with a whopping 182.83 horsepower delivered at the rear Metzeler tire. If you missed it I’ll say it again: Nearly 183 horsepower out of a bone-stock street bike! With 700 revs to go before red-line, horsepower barely tapers when the rev limiter comes in at 14,000 rpm.

“It’s kind of lacking off the bottom and the mid-range isn’t that impressive either especially compared to the Honda,” explains Atlas of the BMW’s engine performance. “But find a straight stretch of road, dial in full throttle and you better be hanging on tight. It has 20 more horsepower than the competition and more power than most people’s cars. It may not be that usable during the commute to work but who cares.”

Although the S1000RR’s engine shrieks at high rpm, at idle it is quiet and identical to the Honda recording a decibel rating of 82. Add some more rpm and it again matches the Honda bellowing out a conservative 100 dB at half of maximum engine speed (7000 rpm). And despite that it cranks out upwards of 180-horsepower, the Beemer delivers 32.3 mpg. This equates to a range of 145 miles with a full fuel load in the 4.5-gallon tank.

DRIVE TRAIN

As expected the BMW uses a very tight and precise feeling gearbox. Neutral is simple to find when stopped and there is very little play in the shift lever. We also never encountered any missed-shifts. During quick stops the slipper clutch performed without fault just like the Japanese bikes.

One of the coolest features of the BMW’s drive train is its optional $450 electronic quick-shifter. This allows you to maneuver through the 6-speed gearbox without having to let off the throttle or use the clutch. Simply apply some pressure on the shift lever and bam you’re in the next gear.

This substantially decreases acceleration time as evident in the quarter mile test. Here the Beemer recorded the fastest ET of the test by posting a 9.681 with a top speed of 150.4 mph. That’s nearly 5 mph faster than the speedy Ducati 1198S Corse. Further aiding the BMW off the line is its optimum 17/44 final drive gearing and cable-actuated clutch with terrific feel. However we do have one minor gripe and that is that clutch lever pull is heavier than the Japanese bikes.

ERGONOMICS / COMFORT

Jump into the seat and the Beemer feels similar to the Honda. It is narrow and the seat height is on the low side only measuring 32.0 inches off the floor. Reach to the controls and the handlebars feel wide but they are slightly lower than the Honda’s. It is by no means uncomfortable just a hair more aggressive. The fixed footpegs offer good balance between hard-core track and street use.

Overall the riding position keeps you low and inside the center of the bike similar to the Suzuki and KTM but just not quite as low. On the road the cockpit of the BMW is comfortable. It feels more-racy than the Honda but it’s by no means as aggressive as the Kawasaki. The seat is wide and offers a decent amount of padding. Not quite up to GSX-R1000 levels of comfort, but it’s close. The height of the windscreen is also above average. It’s not as big as the Suzuki’s but it is certainly effective for keeping a good portion of the rider’s torso out of dirty air. The mirrors also function well, giving a clear view of what’s behind, but they’re still not as good as those found on the CBR

HANDLING / SUSPENSION

On the road the BMW carves into a turn with pure precision. It steers neutrally and feels quite similar to the CBR only it requires a tad bit more muscle. Once cranked over on the side of the tire the chassis feels rock solid. It’s hard to tell if it’s better than Honda or Suzuki but it’s definitely close between the top trio. In keeping with its German heritage the Beemer rolls on Metzler’s RaceTec K3 tires which feel and perform similar to the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SPs on the other Euro machines.

Rolled onto the scale the BMW posted a weight of 450 lbs with fuel, ABS and all the other gizmos that its $16,480 as-tested price came with. That’s just nine pounds heavier than the class-leading Ducati and the BMW still costs $8520 less.

The BMW makes use of fully adjustable suspension front and rear. Despite its obvious racetrack-oriented design the suspension actually does an admirable job of soaking bumps and small pot holes that you can expect to encounter during the course of a street ride. It’s not quite as plush as the Suzuki, Yamaha or Honda but we wouldn’t say it’s bad. Chassis balance is favorable with the bike resisting the urge to pitch or squat even during heavy throttle or brake load.

“The BMW handles pretty good,” said Atlas. “It doesn’t turn-in quite as fast as the Honda but it’s still by no means slow. It’s composed at lean and it comes off the corner nicely as well. Overall I’d rank it up there toward the top for sure.”

BRAKING

 

Even if it didn’t have its optional adjustable multi-mode ABS, of all the bikes the one with the strongest, best performing set of binders would be the BMW. Up front it utilizes a pair of two-piece cast Brembo radial-mount calipers that grab onto 320mm diameter discs. A radial-pump master cylinder and stainless-steel brake hoses augment the system. Out back a 220mm disc with a single-piston caliper keeps rear wheel speed in check.

Initial brake bite on the front brakes is the best of the lot which is strange considering that it employs lesser-grade two-piece cast calipers as opposed to the more expensive monoblocs on the other Euro bikes. As you grab the brake lever the brakes have a ramped stopping effect similar to the Ducati’s. In the braking performance test the BMW aced them all by achieving a stopping distance of 118 feet from 60 mph. The stop was performed in Sport mode which enables both front and rear ABS and proves the obvious stopping benefit of ABS.

Perhaps the best feature in the braking department is the multiple ABS modes. In each of the four settings (Rain, Sport, Race, and Slick) the brakes respond differently providing slightly more or less ABS effect. When activated the lever pulses slightly but it isn’t so much that it’s annoying. Another plus is that even when activated there is still an acceptable level of brake feel.

INSTRUMENTATION / ELECTRONICS

Although the Beemer’s instrument display doesn’t look as cool as the Ducati or KTM it sure does work well. Not only does it offer everything the rider needs to see from ambient air temperature to gear position, it’s easy to read and to use.

But the real bonus that sets the BMW apart from all the bikes in this comparison is its use of a sophisticated and user-adjustable engine management system. Even the $13,800 base machine offers an engine power/throttle mode selection (Rain, Sport, Race and Slick) that can be adjusted on the fly using a left-hand handlebar mounted switch. For street riding we preferred Sport setting as it tamed down power slightly and made the throttle less sensitive which ultimately made the bike easier and friendlier on the street.

The $1480 Dynamic Traction Control and Race ABS option adds functionality to the power mode selection by incorporating both a traction control and ABS that uses independent wheel speed and a lean angle sensor. And the best part about it all is that you can turn either traction control or ABS off independently with a simple push of a button.

FINAL THOUGHTS

You want the best Superbike of ’10 for the street? Well the BMW S1000RR is it. From the outrageous performance of its engine to the well-balanced chassis and phenomenal braking capabilities, the BMW does everything well. Factor in its superior electronics that not only make the bike safer but also more fun to ride and what you have is a bike that no other production motorcycle on earth can compete with in stock form. And the best part is? It can be yours for $13,800 for the base model or you can fork over some extra dough and go all the way with the $16,480 for our fully loaded version. Thanks BMW for just raising the Superbike-class bar.

Tata Indica eV2 launched

Posted by alya at 7:35 PM

Tata Indica eV2 launched at a starting price of Rs 2.95 lakh

Tata Motors on Thursday said it has launched new diesel and petrol variants of its hatchback Indica, priced between Rs 2.95 lakh and Rs 3.95 lakh (ex-showroom).

The company claimed that the diesel vehicle gives a mileage of 25 km per litre as per Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and is the most fuel efficient car in India.

The new car -- eV2 -- comes with a CR4 common rail diesel engine. It has a displacement of 1396 cc delivering 70 PS @ 4000 RPM. It has a torque of 140 NM at a lower 1800-3000 RPM. The company claims that the new CR4 engine has resulted in 32% increase in power, 65% increase in torque as well as a 46% improvement on fuel efficiency. The petrol option will run on a multi-point fuel injection engine. Both these engines are compliant with BS4 emission norms.

The new Indica ev2 comes with features like Auto-Drive Assist, which ensures that while climbing a gradient the engine will not stall even if the foot is completely taken off the clutch, thus enabling the driver to easily shift his foot to the accelerator. Clutch-To-Start feature that will ensure that one cannot crank the engine unless the clutch is fully engaged, hence there is no risk of re-crank if engine is on.

"The Tata Indica eV2 is in the range of Rs 3.95 lakh and Rs 4.77 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the CR4 diesel engine and in the range of Rs 2.95 lakh and Rs 3.58 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for the MPFI petrol," Tata Motors statement said.

Indica eV2 range is available in four colours- Apple Green, Neo Orange, Arctic Silver and Mint White. The car comes with a warranty of 24 months or 75000 km whichever is earlier.

Tata Venture in India to be launched

Posted by alya at 7:35 PM

The much talked about Tata Venture makes its way to Maharashtra today making it the second market to get Venture after India.

Tata Venture is priced at 5.07 lac, ex showroom. The mill in the MPV is a 1.4 L TDI diesel engine. The same powertrain can be found in company's other cars such as Tata Indigo and Tata Indica Turbo. The power and the torque produced are 69 bhp@4500 rpm and 13.7 kgm@2500 rpm respectively.

Currently available as 5, 7 and 8 seater,Tata Venture has three rows that face front. The MPV also includes collapsible steering unit, power steering, power windows, two row HVAC unit, music system, reverse parking, keyless entry and engine immobilizer. What stands out in the Tata Venture is its plug in windows and a glass inside a glass which is found in vans from Volkswagen.

It is surprising to know that the Maruti Eeco has no challengers in its segment and price bracket. The only other challenger is its own stable mate, the Maruti Suzuki Omni. However the crude image of this car means that most of the buyers would stick with the Maruti Eeco and not go for the Omni. The whole setup may change in a short while. There is another worthy competitor coming its way. No, we aren’t referring to the GM’s offensive by the way of bringing its low cost Chinese offering into India. We are talking about the new Tata Venture in India.

Present in three variants-CX, EX and GX, Tata Venture offers five vibrant colors for its customers to choose from. With a mileage of 15.42 kmpl, Tata Venture also offers a 2 year warranty or 75000 kms, whichever is earlier. The MPV will be available in 42 dealerships (20 car dealerships and 22 CV dealerships).

Now, the Tata Venture in India by Tata Motors was displayed early on last year in the Delhi Auto Expo show. It will be a seven seater van and would look like one also. The niche passenger cargo segment hasn’t witnessed too much action in all these years and looks like every feather would be ruffled in the coming months in 2011. The Tata Ace in India would come with a 7 seater configuration and a diesel engine. It is based on the Tata’s very own ACE platform. The engine powering this van would be a diesel engine preferably the 1.4 liter diesel from the Tata Indica range. It would churn out close to 78 Bhp and would be tuned more for lower down poke.

The advantage for the Tata Venture in India is that this segment isn’t that crowded as of now and moreover it has a diesel engine under its hood which would mean that running costs would be an all time low. The 1.4 diesel is known for its frugal nature and this would be amplified with the lighter ACE platform. Sightings of test mules running around near Tata’s plant in Pune shows that this van is compact like the Nano but would have good interior space. Also mules mean that Tata Motors have finished testing this van and would now launch it any time soon. It would be available at a premium than the Maruti offering however we firmly believe that it does have a market in India. One of the Tata Motors official confirmed that this car would be launched by end of February 2011. Fleet and taxi owners rejoice as the pricing is said to hover around the Rs 4.5 lakhs mark.

The 7 Sexiest Cars Of 2010

Posted by alya at 7:35 PM

Every person expects something different from a car – some want a SUV like the 2010 Ford Explorer, others want a Porsche 918 Spyder. Car manufacturers try their best to meet these expectations. For some a car is a statement, a few get cars that best describe them and for some it’s just transport. Here you can see the best cars picked for the year 2010. The cars showcased at the 80th International Geneva Motor Show make the future of automobiles appear bright and shiny. The power of these mean machines was not dimmed even by the lovely motor show booth babes. Those of you who feel left out missed out on the babes but can definitely catch the top cars for this year. In no particular order:

Koenigsegg Agera- Every car must grow from its previous design and the Koenigsegg Agera is a proof of that. This masterpiece is sculpted from a fine mesh of carbon fiber and aluminum. Powered by a 4.7 liter V8 engine it can jumpstart this 1290 Kg animal from 0-100 in well under 3.1 seconds. A car that was designed to stay well ahead of any curve, the Agera is often thought of as an evolution of the CCX. Other features include a set of wheels that are made to generate a vortex as they are more useful in sucking hot air away from the brakes region. Hot air escapes the engine through holes in the taillights thus making the whole scene appear like oval doughnut taillights. With a raw power of 910 hp at over 7000 rpm there is no telling what this beast is capable of.

Koenigsegg Agera

Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid- A Charm to look at, this open two-seater plug in hybrid sports car has a fluid cooled lithium ion battery that gives it the perfect charge. This sly Spyder is often called the predator of the road and it exhibits a modern slipstream carbon fiber design that races from 0-100 Kmph in no more than 3.2 seconds. Although it has a top speed of almost 320 Kmph its fuel efficiency is not compromised and it can give up to 35 Km per liter. This amounts to 70 grams CO2 per Km which is considered an excellent achievement for a beast which runs on a powerful V8 engine that roars once it’s on the street.

Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid

Alfa Romeo Giulietta- the Italians do more than bake bread and the perfect example of their achievements in the field of automobiles is the Giulietta. This aerodynamic hatchback with five doors has the requisite dynamic features to show both comfort and aggression. Second only to their pizzas and spaghetti, this car’s base model runs on a 1.4 liter multi-air turbocharged gas engine and the higher cloverleaf model performs its best on a 235 horse power 1.75 liter turbocharged gas engine.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Mercedes F800 Style- the F800 shows a clearly mature and responsible design as it sees Mercedes in the form of a spacious five-seater sedan which has a more futuristic approach to the car’s external styling and also in its approach to the environment. Its plug in hybrid gives almost over 400 bhp of raw power and this in combination with the fuel cells system and the electric drive offer a very good drive and reach speeds of over 375 Kmph. A 300hp direct injection V6 gas engine and a 109hp hybrid module allow the car to function perfectly with and without fuel and also allowing it to run close to 18 miles on pure electricity. That by any standards is an achievement.

Mercedes F800 Style

Audi A1- How many of you fell in love with the Audi in the movie ‘The Transporter’? The brand new Audi A1 will have you crave for one of your own. A single look at it is enough to get your jaws to drop. With an exterior style that can be compared to the likes of Mini Cooper, this car provides both a front wheel and back wheel drive mechanism options. The tax issues imposed on Audi make it almost impossible for it to appear on the US markets till 2015 but its features are well worth the wait. It comes in four doors as well as in two doors. A fully customized interior and LED and xenon lights make this car a pleasure to behold.

Audi A1

Ferrari 599 HY KERS- another Italian makes the top as Ferrari gives the world one more beauty. This stallion comes with a green makeover and features Ferrari’s latest regenerative braking technology integrated into seven dual clutch transmission and installed right below the centre of gravity of the car. The car’s already powerful V12 engine is further enhanced by the 100horse power that is added by the KERS system which weighs almost 40 Kilograms. Apart from these features it can even drive on pure electricity which is suitable for city drivers.

Ferrari 599 HY KERS

Lotus Evora- No motor show is complete without Lotus displaying its precision engineering. This year Lotus has a 1382 Kilogram 3.5 liter V6 mid-engine sports car that speeds from 0-100 in only 5.1 seconds. Apart from offering a top speed of 231kmph this lightweight sports car consumes only 8.7 liter of fuel for every 100 km travelled with a carbon emission of less than 205 g per km of CO2. A rear diffuser and a spoiler and installed to use aerodynamics tricks to keep the car stable at high speeds. Since it uses Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs it should flow about smoothly. The sense of having a good interior is not lost on Lotus as they cushion Evora’s interior with air conditioning, tire pressure monitoring system, a remote garage door opener and leather seating. An alpine audio system with provisions for iPod and Bluetooth connectivity are some of the other features used in this car.

Only Electric Sports Car In The World In Australia

Posted by alya at 10:40 PM

Tesla Motors kicks off its Oz Goes Electric Tour to bring Tesla Roadster - the only electric sports car - the fans along the east coast of Australia. Roadster will travel an unpublished 3000 km, to show that drivers must not compromise on style, performance, or the area to go electric.

The tour will begin today, March 16 at 10 am at the Hotel Sofitel in Melbourne with representatives of the Victorian Government and the Ministry of Transportation. The tour, which covers Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, the unit will test events and public displays of the Tesla Roadster. In Victoria, the visit is part of the test vehicle power of local government.

"Trial The Victorian Government electric vehicles to improve the knowledge, understanding and acceptance of electric vehicles," said Kristian Handberg, project manager for the Department of Transportation. "The trial is providing vehicles, drivers, charging points, energy suppliers and other market participants together to build the foundations of the electric vehicle market in Victoria, and make an EV-friendly."

Hand, carbon fiber Roadster is the only car that offers supercar performance with zero emissions. Powered by the majority of the high energy density battery industry, the Roadster accelerates from 0 to 100 km in less than 4 seconds and does not consume oil. The Roadster runs 360 km on a single charge and connects to almost any wall outlet. The Tesla Roadster holds the record for distance traveled on a single charge in an electric vehicle production, which broke driving 501 km in Australia.

"This trip is an important step. For the first time an electric vehicle has traveled a considerable distance in Australia, supported along the way, "said Jay McCormack, Australian National Sales Manager for Tesla." Many Australians will see an EV for the first time and we want them to see with my own eyes that electric cars can be just as effective as conventional cars without emissions. "
