New cars this week

Despite being the owner of the legendary Pininfarina, Mahindra's design language has always seemed to be stuck in the late '70s. The reason behind this remains a mystery, though sometimes, it pays off. The Mahindra Thar is a slightly touched up version of the 1996-2006 CJ Jeep Wrangler, a darling among the off-road enthusiast. And no, Mahindra didn't skirt around any rule this time, they actually bought the license to build the original CJ. The Thar will come in two flavors, a 2.0 liter petrol or a 2.2 liter diesel, each making 150 and 130 Hp respectively. Will Mahindra bring this ball of fun to the Streets of Dhaka? We hope so!

Moving from a rugged off-roader to something that is considered the definition of perfection, Rolls-Royce has pulled off the cover of their Dawn Silver Bullet roadster. Described as an "ode to decadence" and "frivolity", RR to build only fifty of these two-and-a-half ton silver behemoths. Finished in Brewster Silver with the interior receiving a "vapour-blasted titanium finish " it is safe to assume the car will cost quite a bit more than the $353,000 "regular" dawn. RR is keeping things quiet about the engine, but it is safe to assume the 563bhp 6.6-litre V12 will remain.
