2013 RANGE ROVER

Land Rover has revealed details and images of its 2013 Range Rover. The company says that the new Range Rover is 420kg lighter as compared to the outgoing model. An all-aluminium unibody structure is the reason behind this weight saving.

The four-corner air suspension has also been thoroughly re-engineered and Land Rover claims that this will improve the SUV’s cornering ability. While engine options haven’t been revealed yet, we expect Range Rover to continue with a choice of V8 petrol and diesel engines as also a V6 diesel mated to the new 8-speed ZF auto transmission.The new SUV is slated to be on sale starting from September this year with deliveries scheduled for early 2013.

Noise levels inside the cabin are also claimed to have been reduced due to the use of acoustic lamination on the side door glass and windscreen.

(Reuters) –
The Calcutta High Court on Friday nullified a law that forced Tata Motors (TAMO.NS) to forfeit Singur land acquired by the company to build a factory, in a decision that could pave the way for the automaker to recoup some of its $310 million investment in the development.

Court rules in favour of Tata Motors

The law, which forced the company to hand back land in West Bengal, was ruled “unconstitutional and void” by the Calcutta High Court, lawyers present told Reuters.

The ruling will be challenged in the Supreme Court, said Kalyan Banerjee, a lawmaker in the state government.

Tata, which abandoned the project in 2008 and shifted the factory to make its ultra-low cost Nano car to Gujarat, has previously sought compensation over the dispute.

“We will be studying the order before deciding the next course of action,” Tata Motors spokeswoman Ashmita Pillay said.

Shares in Tata Motors were flat in the afternoon, after having risen slightly following the ruling.
