The November 2025 issue of Autocar India is headlined by the Honda 0 Alpha concept. We whet our appetite for adrenaline with drives of three supercars – the Porsche 911 Turbo S, the Maserati MCPura and the Ferrari 296 Speciale. We also have reviews of the Volkswagen Golf GTI hot hatch, the new Mercedes-Benz G 450d, and we take an in-depth look at the Porsche Cayenne Electric. In the bike section, we have news on Norton’s new bikes and a review of the TVS RTX 300. This and more in this issue of Autocar India.

Honda 0 Alpha concept

Honda is reinventing its India strategy and is gearing up to launch new EVs, hybrids and SUVs. Of interest is the 0 Alpha EV SUV that will rival the Maruti e Vitara and Hyundai Creta Electric.

Porsche 911 Turbo S

With its 711hp, 800Nm twin-turbo flat-six engine, the new Turbo S dials things up to 11 over the already mental GTS. We attack it on the Ascari circuit and come away all smiles.

Ferrari 296 Speciale

How can you make the 296 – a special car to begin with – even more special? More aero, more power and more sound seem to do the trick.

Maserati MCPura

Technically a facelift of the MC20, we discover that the MCPura is what the MC20 should have been to begin with. Oh! And the Cielo (convertible) is definitely the one to go for.

Porsche Cayenne EV

We visit Porsche’s plant in Germany to get a taste of the tech, design and features the Cayenne EV would get. We also experienced the SUV as a passenger in a prototype around their test track.

25 years of the Maruti Alto

Maruti’s bestselling Alto hatchback turned 25 this September, and we drive all generations to see what’s changed – good or bad – over the years.

New Norton bikes incoming

TVS took over Norton in 2020, and it’s now revamping the British marque’s line-up. The best part, though, is that the brand will now manufacture in India.
