We kid you not! What you see here is what's coming to India. The BMW M5 Touring, an estate, is coming here in limited numbers!
This is just one of the many models, but the highlight is the Nürburgring Edition, which is going to be very limited, and meant for car collectors. This edition celebrates 100 years of the Nürburgring race track, and BMW's 21 victories in Nürburgring 24h.
You can get models like the M2 xDrive, M3 Competition xDrive, M4 Competition xDrive, and the M5 Touring, out of which the M5 models are powered by a 4.4-litre V8 paired with an 18.6kWh battery pack, churning out 717bhp/1,000Nm. 0-100kmph comes in 3.6 seconds.

Ahead of its 6 October launch, pre-bookings for the Honda Elevate facelift have opened for a token of ₹21,000. But there's a catch - this can be done only through the offline channel (authorised dealerships).
The facelifted Elevate will get a new grille, segmented LED light bar, and connected tail lights. A new alloy design is also expected. Feature upgrades could likely be an inclusion of rain-sensing wipers and ventilated front seats.
No under-the-hood change is expected, which means the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine that churns out 119bhp/145Nm.

The Skoda Octavia RS, with its 2.0-litre, 261bhp/370Nm turbocharged unit, is certainly built for speed. But, can powerful be efficient? Here's your answer.
We put the Octavia RS through our intensive fuel-efficiency tests. AC at 24°C, default drive mode, auto start-stop on, and all speed limits adhered to. We got:
• City: 8.54kmpl (8.70kmpl on the MID)
• Highway: 16.6kmpl (16.6kmpl on the MID)
• Average: 10.55kmpl (75% city + 25% highway, not the literal average)
Considering the power that this sedan has, both numbers are quite solid in our books.

The Renault Triber turbo has been launched at ₹7.84 lakh-₹8.99 lakh (ex-showroom). With a move to the new platform, the turbo also mitigates this MPV's biggest bottleneck - power.
The NA Triber makes 71bhp/96Nm via a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder engine. The turbo, with a move to a new platform, RGEP (Renault Group Entry Platform), is now able to fit a larger 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that makes 99bhp/180Nm. This comes with revised suspension tuning, enhanced braking, revised ABS and traction control settings, and structural enhancements.
The turbo is available in 3 variants: Evolution, Techno, and Emotion. Features remain the same as the vanilla Triber.
