Aston Martin DB5: An Icon Turns 60

The Aston Martin DB5 and its iconic association with the James Bond film “Goldfinger” have become legendary in the world of cinema and automotive history. The DB5, produced by the British luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin, made its debut in 1963 and quickly gained fame as one of the most stylish and sophisticated sports cars of its era.

Leather Interior: The interior of the DB5 was luxuriously appointed with high-quality leather upholstery, enhancing the overall comfort and elegance of the vehicle.
Wood Trim: Fine wood trim and accents were used in the interior, adding a touch of refinement.

Mahindra Teases 200km/h Prototype Electric SUVs

Mahindra recently released a brief video showcasing a trio of fully electric SUVs undergoing high-speed testing on the oval track at its proving grounds in Chennai, India. These electric SUVs reached a top speed of 200km/h during the testing.

It’s worth noting that while these prototypes achieved a top speed of 200km/h during testing, production models of electric vehicles (EVs) typically have electronically limited top speeds to prioritise efficiency and extend range. Manufacturers often strike a balance between performance and range when setting these limits.

The electric SUV models from Mahindra, known as the XUV.e8, XUV.e9, and BE.05, were initially previewed in concept form a year ago, introducing Mahindra’s new styling language referred to as “heartcore.” In recent sightings of camouflaged prototypes, these models bear a resemblance to the original concept renderings, although there have been some adjustments for production.
