Royal Couple Takes Their First Drive In A Classic Jaguar With A Modern Electric Twist

Prince Harry and Meghan Markel tied the knot at the 'Royal Wedding' yesterday and while the world 'ooohed and aahed' at handsome Prince in his Army regalia or the beautiful bride in her white Givenchy dress, we here at Car And Bike swooned over something completely different. And yet, quintessentially British. Post the wedding ceremony, the 'Royal Couple' made their way from Windsor Castle to Frogmore House on the Windsor Estate. And in true British style, Prince Harry drove his wife Meghan in the only car appropriate for this 'first journey as man and wife', a Jaguar E-Type. But it isn't just a regular E-Type. The car chosen for this short drive is the new Jaguar E-Type Zero Concept, which although still has the appeal of the classic Jag on the outside, is actually a brand new electric car under the skin.

  Sanjay Dutt's Exotic Car Collection

  There are very few actors who keep a low profile and Sanjay Dutt isn't one of them and we'll probably see this side of him in the biopic, aptly titled 'Sanju' that will soon hit the theatres later this year. There's no doubt about his acting talent and that comes naturally to him thanks to his parents, but there's something that the 'Vaastav' actor loves even more and that's cars. His love for four and two wheels is a known fact. Here's a look at the exotic car collection that rests in Indian actor and auto enthusiast Sanjay Dutt's garage.

  Mahindra M.D. And Tata Design Head Discuss Importance Of Indian Car Design

  For both Tata Motors and Mahindra, recent and future launches have showcased an ability to improve tremendously, in terms of quality, fit and finish but more so in terms of design. While in the mid 2000s, or even a few years ago, both these auto brands needed to shout (in terms of outrageous design) in order to be seen, both these auto brands now seem to be on a cusp of design maturity. In a recent casual banter on Twitter between Pratap Bose, Head Of Design of Tata Motors and Pawan Goenka, Managing Director of Mahindra & Mahindra, both seem to agree on the fact that Indian home grown designers and designs need to be given more importance, more chances to grow and certainly a bigger place in the automakers ecosystem. And with design studios in India making its mark, we think that process is well underway for both Tata Motors and Mahindra and we at carandbike.com think this is a wonderful thing indeed! Homegrown talent making homegrown designs for homegrown automakers is certainly something to be proud of. And with design studios in India making its mark, we think that process is well underway, not only for Tata and Mahindra, but even automakers like Renault.
