Upcoming DC Cars

Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has inaugurated new homologation facility and Technology Centre at Chakan, Pune. With the installation and commissioning of this new vehicle crash test facility complete now, this new organisation offers services to automobile manufacturers for testing products for the domestic as well as the export market.

Launched in 2015, the DC Avanti is India’s first attempt at making a performance car. It was displayed at the Auto Expo in 2012 and the Avanti has stirred up controversy ever since. Is it a Supercar? Sportscar? Or a kit car with a 250bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged engine sourced from Renault? Well, it’s now available in a Limited Edition and in a more powerful avatar.

3D Printing and cars, we believe, will share a wonderful relationship in the future. If Local Motors were to have their way then 3D-printed cars will soon become the norm. At the ongoing SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Local Motors unveiled the LM3D Swim, the latest rapid vehicle iteration leading to a fully homologated 3D-printed vehicle, designed to be safe, smart and sustainable. The auto manufacturer will begin pre-selling models in 2016.
