In March, T.C.Y. Motors Sdn Bhd will be launching the 2.0 turbo FSI new Audi A3 Sportback in S Line Trim boasting an output of 147kW (200bhp), 0-100km/h in 6.9 seconds & a maximum torque of 280Nm at 1700-5000rpm. Equipped with S tronic gearbox. Xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights, 18” wheels as well as Audi’s Symphony sound system.

Sporty exterior styling
Low, sleek, athletic – the A3 Sportback has the look of a classic sports coupé. It’s a look that’s unmistakably Audi – confident, understated, and with all the predatory grace and poise of a full-on sports roadster.

Front styling
A single-frame grille creates a distinctly self-assured look. New headlights, redesigned bumpers and the flare of the side air inlets give the A3 Sportback a real presence on the road

Aerodynamic body
Design and practicality merge gracefully in the sleek lines of the A3 Sportback. The latest in a long line of discreetly stylish Audi designs, the new A3 Sportback offers sporting good looks and an aerodynamic silhouette.

S tronic
Innovative S tronic transmission is a significant new option for the A3 range. Pioneered in motor sport, adapted for the road, it’s specifically designed to make ultra-fast, seamless gear changes without disrupting the power flow.

Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
The A3’s ESP provides an intelligent, swift response to difficult driving situations. The system is capable of braking individual wheels to the limits of their grip, whilst simultaneously adjusting the engine management settings, to ensure safe braking whatever the conditions.

Anti Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR cuts the power to any wheel that has lost traction, so the S3 continues to accelerate safely while keeping you on the road.

Fresh on the heels of the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera with its direct-injected engines and excellent twin-clutch PDK gearbox come the all-new Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S models. Yes, these all-wheel-drive 911s share those cool new technologies, but they also have another ace up their sleeves — a new awd system, one that eschews the former Carrera 4’s viscous center differential in favor of an electronically controlled clutch pack that reacts far quicker to conditions, helping make the 911 more stable and easier to drive quickly than its rear-drive brethren, particularly in bad weather.

Although as much as 100 percent of the power theoretically can reach the front wheels, the Carrera 4 still feels like a classic rear-drive 911 in daily driving, until you sense that uncanny stability while powering out of corners. Of further help here is a new limited-slip rear differential that’s standard on all new Carrera 4s.

Suzuki has unveiled a facelifted version of the Suzuki Grand Vitara flagship, now available with a new larger 2.4 liter engine.

The new 2.4 liter engine produces 166 PS in the three door body and 169 PS in the five door body. The engine features a balance shaft, a three-stage variable air intake and a tumble control valve for the intake to for the best possible fuel-air mixture.

The new engine is also significantly quieter than the superseded ones and utilises VVT, which allows the lift of the intake valves to be altered while the engine is in operation. Continuous variation of the intake valve timing ensures smoother and more responsive performance, and the VVT system is complemented by Suzuki’s intake manifold tuning system, which alters the effective length of the intake pipe by opening and closing a valve to improve volumetric efficiency. Changing the port length in accordance with engine speed maximises engine torque across the rev range.

Other changes include new ventilated discs for the rear brakes, extra shock-absorbing elements at the front to reduce pedestrian injury risk, and ESP is now fitted as standard.
