Illustration: '56 Jawa

This beautiful motorcycle has become a collector's item in India and across the world, and never fails to garner smiles and evoke emotions. The iconic beat from the twin pipes means you can recognise the sound a Jawa from far away, and I love the way the shifter doubles up as the kickstarter.

Illustration:'54 Morris Oxford

This car holds a lot of fond memories for us in India, and was driven by millions who used it for everything from the school run to ferrying Parliament biggies. Here's my artistic impression of the classic Morris Oxford from 1954.

Concept Car: Hybrid Supercar

There will be glee when the ton is hit in three. My latest concept is a supercar capable of extreme performance and featuring a lightweight body comprising of aluminium and carbon elements. Propulsion hardware sees a V8 petrol engine with at least 400 horses and an electric motor producing around 100 bhp.

Did The Cross Kwid Concept Play A Part In The Renault Kwid Climber Concept Story?

The Renault Kwid Climber unveiled at the 2016 Auto Expo in Delhi certainly seems like it was Renault India turning a simple suggestion from mid-2015 into a beautiful concept car that can actually work not just in our country, but internationally. Last year's story with the idea's a minute-read here: http://bit.ly/renaultcrosskwid.

Oh and ‪#Renault, there's plenty more where that came from. Game face.

The idea.

Motorbyte: The BMW Roundel

The iconic blue and white ‪BMW logo is known as a 'roundel', which, contrary to common belief, does not symbolise a spinning propeller, but is actually representative of the colours of Bavaria. You'll see the logo on the fancy rims of their cars as well, like this X6 M, and that's why the wheels of a +BMW go roundel and round.
