The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza is the largest selling SUV in the country and by some margin. So far, it has only had a diesel engine on offer with a 5-speed gearbox, a similar setup as compared to the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz sedan. Packing a 1.3-litre engine under the bonnet, the Vitara Brezza now gets mated to a 5-speed AMT (automatic) unit too, which makes it an even better proposition, especially for those wanting a sub-compact, sub 4-metre SUV as an urban runabout in start and stop traffic. The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza automatic though isn't the only AMT in that segment. It will go up against the likes of the Tata Nexon and the Mahindra TUV300, both of which also get AMT units as compared to a traditional automatic gearbox.

Say goodbye to the Competition package and say hello to the Competition; the popular optional bundles for BMW’s M cars have become their own model now. This change starts with  the 2019 M5 Competition, which will be available this summer and adds an extra scoop of power and sportiness to the already highly capable regular model. The Competition model will cost $110,995, a $7400 increase over the base price of the standard 2018 M5. The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine gets a small bump from the base M5’s 600 horsepower to 617. The power peak also changes, from 5700 to 6600 rpm in the lesser car to exactly 6000 rpm in the Competition. Maximum torque remains at 553 lb-ft and is available from 1800 rpm all the way until 5860 rpm, an increase of 160 revs at the high end. The result, BMW says, is a zero-to-60-mph time that drops by 0.1 second to 3.1 seconds; however, the regular car hit 60 mph in a shocking 2.8 seconds  in our testing , so BMW’s time is likely ...

The Nigerian inventor building a flying jet car gos is synonymous with heavy traffic and congestion but self taught inventor, Kehinde Durojaiye, might have the answer to the city's woes: a jet car that can run on land, sea and in the air. Durojaiye, nicknamed 'Kenny jet,' calls his ambitious invention 'an aero-amphibious jet car' and he told CNN he has achieved two out of his three goals. Durojaiye told he has traveled as far as Ibadan (84 miles away from Lagos) in his car and claims it can move 120 kilometers per hour on land and at least six knots on the sea. In a sea of Toyotas and Hyundais, Durojaiye's unconventional looking car certainly turns heads.
