I have always had respect for DC. But now he had made INDIA proud. Tough its not 100% indegenous. Still its INDIAN… a CAR we can call it OURS. :D
wow!!! super car @ 30 lakhs! amazing…lov it !
Best designed supercar in thw world. Much much better than the Amby type supercar Motorbeam displayed earlier. I think that was not the correct pic and just a modified version of Amby by DC
Abhishek, that picture was for illustration purpose only.
exterior design theme looks great.. looks like lamborghini to me. But what about safety. Is it safe like other sports cars .
what about the service..spare parts ..etc?/
Amit, DC will do the service and spares as well.
interiors …….Naaa.;..look at the cheap door handles.power window switch ..speedometer..etc
I would buy Audi A4 ..
@amit comparing a sedan executive class audi a4 with sports car avanti is not relevant…no doubt german engineering for audi is the best but for country like india who is on door of developed nation is thing to make us proud….and prospects from global market says audii bmw both will cut off their prices to compete with avanti……!!
i dont think so, avanti is in totally different league from what bmw and audi are offering at this price point. A person looking buy a luxury saloon would still buy an audi or bmw. There is no competition between these cars. prices of cars like Nissan 370z, Evo X or audi TT might fall a little…
I am seeing shades of many cars. Design looks stunning though.
Wow… the new revolution for super car market…
Great to see from India. Its going to be big bro for all super cars in terms of
cheaper price..
Thanks to Mr.DC
haha its my new indian bugatti veyron……..
wow!…..
Finally, something to cheer about & from nobody else but DC. Wondered when will any of the Indian manufacturers come up something like this. Concept & design wise, its fantastic. But its not exactly a super car if you check the engine specs though it looks like one. I saw a few pics.. the doors are very plain & the front viper has a huge bulge. Plus the pricing will make it very common very soon. Hope DC comes out with a pumped up & fine tuned version so that it can come in competition with the international supercars. Also waiting for a road test to know the handling, ride & performance.
With due respect to DC’s contribution to Indian Auto industry, I am not really a great fan of DC designs, but this time looks like he has sensibly controlled his emotions of overly designing and very surprisingly no typical DC’s ‘Raw’ touch is visible. It’s sleek and well proportionate, Great job by DC!
This one looks so much better than the one shown in some stupid auto show who were claiming 400 bhp of power and 300+ speeds.
Good effort by DC to launch an Indian Super car.Cheers DC!!!…it’ll be good if they gave some detailing work…Anyways Good Luck!!
looks very small, i have seen better designs by DC. why this one?
Also i dont thinks its worhty of calling it “supercar”. Sports car suits it better.
why pay 3cr for lambo galardo(110% extra duty) and even 1.35cr for audi R8 when we have our own supercar that too which is manufactured in india, @30lacks And Power of 240bhp is enough according to
our road
Conditions, or i would say its too much!
Hats off to ‘Mr. DC’
kudos! To Dilip Chabria n his team @ DC Design, I hope they deliver at the mentioned price !
All the Best !!!
Now this is Aspiration for me !!
