Hindustan Motors (HM), the makers of the iconic Indian car, Ambassador may be showcasing it in its newest form at the India Auto Expo to be held next year. The car that draws its lineage from Morris Oxford series II (Landmaster) and series III (Ambassador) is set to undergo one of the most daring changes ever.
As Motoism reported earlier the Hindustan Motors have called in styling experts from Europe to make the changes to the fading away brand, now used mostly by Taxis and the Government Babus. Hindustan Motors has also made it clear that they will continue to manufacture the present day version for the taxi segment side by side of the newer one.
The new version will be ready on paper atleast by the year-end and post finalization in May, commercial production will commence in July 2012. Bearing in mind the timing of finalization to the car, the Auto Expo 2012 will be a really good platform to unveil the car, which according to HM will have a retro yet sporty design and will be engineered with cutting edge technology to provide the values that it has so long preached - comfort and value for money.
Although the platform on which the car is based and the dimensions will remain the same the exteriors of the car will be changed dramatically, as confirmed by the officials. Other changes will include BS-IV compliance and atleast four engine options to choose from.
