The Ntorq 150 marked TVS' entry into the performance scooter segment this year, competing with the likes of the Yamaha Aerox 155 and the Hero Xoom 160. It's a refined product that is priced aggressively and looks attractive. But is it enough to compensate for its rather late arrival? And since it shares its underpinnings with the Ntorq 125, is it different enough? Watch our first impressions video of the TVS Ntorq 150 to find out!

Global NCAP’s new Safer Cars for Africa crash results reveal a disappointing one-star rating for the made-in-India Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga underwent a crash test by Global NCAP in 2019 and received an average rating of three stars. However, it performed poorly under the Global NCAP's new, stricter testing protocols, implemented in July 2022. Also, the rating for child occupants dropped from three stars to two stars. The India-made MPV comes with two frontal airbags as standard. Its structure received a borderline unstable rating, and its footwell area was also rated as unstable, with pedal displacement showing potential injury risks to the driver's lower legs.

Here's the Bugatti Chiron successor - the Tourbillion, named after a Swiss watch mechanism. It becomes the first Bugatti to get the Cosworth-developed, 8.3-litre engine that revs to 9,500rpm and makes 1,000bhp without any turbochargers. Then it has a front e-axle with two electric motors, and a 25kWh centrally-mounted battery pack, adding 800 horsepower to the mix. With a combined output of 1,800bhp, the Tourbillon goes to 100kmph in just 2 seconds. Under full throttle, it crosses the 200kmph mark in around 5 seconds and reaches its electronically-limited top speed of 380kmph in less than 25 seconds. Bugatti is also offering an optional Speed Key to unlock the full potential of the Tourbillion. So, let's check out how fast it can go without the restriction.

BMW has unveiled the latest generation of its entry-level model — the 1 Series hatchback — for global markets. The G70 version of the hot hatch gets a thoroughly revised design, now more in line with newer offerings from the brand. All variants ditch the manual gearbox, opting for a sole seven-speed automatic transmission in a move towards simplified offerings. More stringent emission regulations have also reduced about 6 horses from the M135 xDrive's output, which is now 296bhp. As a result, it takes 0.1 seconds extra for zero to 100kmph, doing the sprint now in 4.9 seconds. However, its electronically-limited top speed remains at 250 kilometres per hour.

After numerous attempts at making the ‘last-ever’ Chiron, Bugatti has done the same, again. The French carmaker has revealed the Chiron L’Ultime, claimed to be 'the final' iteration of the Chiron that marks the end of the 500-unit production run of the W16 flagship. For the final, 500th piece, the Bugatti Sur Mesure team has reimagined the original design of the Chiron Super Sport. It wears an interplay of French Racing Blue and Atlantic Blue with a fading effect and a tribute to all the places where the car has been since 2016. Let's check out highlights of the upcoming Bugatti Chiron L'ultime.

<p>Vikramjeet Virk made&nbsp;his big Bollywood debut recently with Dharma Productions in Netflix’s ‘Drive’ as he played Bikki, a streetcar racer in the film. Starring alongside Sushant Singh Rajput and Jacqueline Fernandez in a film that was all about cars and politics, Vikramjeet played a crass character who loves everything around four-wheelers -- girls and&nbsp;illegal money while sporting tattoos, a straight-from-the-street hairstyle and more things that would easily stereotype him into being a gunda.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But cut to reality, and Vikramjeet is miles away from a glamorous lifestyle as he hates junk food, alcohol, smoking and everything that you would associate with a model-turned-actor’s lifestyle. He gets up early, focuses on health and wants the world to pay attention to their physical health by eating right and exercising on a daily basis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to WION on his big-ticket Bollywood film with Sushant Singh Rajput and Jacqueline Fernandez, his journey of a model to an actor and future projects, Vikramjeet Virk spilt beans on living the life he always aspired for.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I was working down south for a couple of years. I lived in Mumbai all this while but was waiting for the right thing to happen. I was offered a lot of small films but I wasn’t taking it. I wanted to do something that goes with my personality. I chose Drive for the way my director narrated it,” Vikramjeet Virk said about starring in ‘Drive’ that started streaming on Netflix, November 1 onwards instead of a theatrical release. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Vikramjeet worked with Sushant Singh Rajput and Jacqueline Fernandez and spoke highly of both the actors who are a couple of films older than him. “Working with Sushant, Jacky was fun. They know their job. I learnt a lot of things from them. Sushant I think believes in not wasting time. When he’s not acting on the set, he’s busy watching something. Jacky is very down to earth. She is a happy face around, has a positive vibe.”</p>

<p>While ‘Drive’ could be Vikramjeet’s first Bollywood film with a lead role, he has also been part of Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Khele Hum Jee Jaan Se’ and has kept himself busy with Telugu films. He explained, “It just happened. A friend of mine asked me to come for some work. He was going to Ashutosh’s office and I accompanied him. The team asked me what I do, I told them I am a model so they asked me to drop my details with them. I didn’t know anything about acting then. I tried my luck. They liked me and that's how I got the part. But after that, I got a South Indian film. Started shooting for that and subsequently started liking acting. I realised I was enjoying this more than modelling. It's been a good journey.”</p>

<p>Vikramjeet followed the usual progression path from being a model to an actor but he insists his journey was different. Vikramjeet said, “It was not the same for me. I belong to a very small village in Haryana. In my village, I didn’t even know what was modelling or acting. I just did my studies in Karnal, got introduced to modelling, liked it so I did it. I liked being a part of the fashion world. Then when I was enjoying this phase, I was introduced to acting and I happened to like that more.”</p>

<p>While he may be making a career in acting, he doesn’t admit to one being better than another. “I can’t say what is better. Both are different. When I was into modelling I was enjoying it. When I came into acting, I understood it was all about performance. In modelling, you just have to be good looking, fit and well-groomed. In acting, it’s more than that. Acting demands more hard work than modelling,” he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Vikramjeet has also been a part of TV shows and understands the difference in both the mediums -- films and TV. He said, “TV doesn’t have time. Everything is quick. You have to make&nbsp;25 minutes footage in one day so you can’t experiment too much but in films, you can. In a film, you might shoot a minute’s footage in a day and sometimes not even that.”</p>

<p>The actor-model will next be seen in a Punjabi language film that is slated for a release in February 2020. He has also finished a Telugu film titled ‘22’ that will release in December. He is also working on a web series with Nikhil Advani titled ‘Mughals’. The series also has&nbsp;Ronit Roy, Dia Mirza who will be seen playing his wife. They have started shooting for the series. He also has another web series lined up that will be ready for the public by February.</p>

<p>There was also news of Vikramjeet being part of Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Battle of Saragarhi’ before it got shelved indefinitely and Akshay Kumar starred in ‘Kesari’ that dealt with the same topic. Vikramjeet was “proud of being a part of that film and really wanted it to happen.” He added, “More so because the other film is not really up to the mark. They didn't tell us the proper story.”</p>

<p>Apart from acting, Vikramjeet is equally passionate about his health as&nbsp;he avoids fast food, alcohol, cigarettes and other things that harm the body. He also believes that people need to be made aware of the health issues in the world. “Eat right and work out, please take care of your health,'' said Vikramjeet as he signed off.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Ric Ocasek, the idiosyncratic lead singer and chief songwriter of the 1970s and 80s hook-heavy hitmakers The Cars, died on Sunday at his home in Manhattan.<br />
<br />
He was 75, Ocasek was pronounced dead at his townhouse after someone called 911 about 4 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT) to report that he was unresponsive, a New York Police Department spokesman said. The cause of death will be determined by the city's coroner.<br />
<br />
His representatives could not be reached for comment on Sunday.<br />
<br />
"So sad. Such a great writer, singer, player, producer," fellow classic rocker Peter Frampton said on Twitter of Ocasek. "My thoughts are with his family. Rest in peace."<br />
<br />
Ocasek, born Richard Theodore Otcasek in Baltimore in 1944, met bass player and future bandmate Benjamin Orr after moving to Cleveland for high school.<br />
<br />
The pair joined with guitarist Elliot Easton, keyboard player Greg Hawkes and drummer David Robinson to form the Cars in mid-1970s Boston. Ocasek was the main songwriter, sang lead vocals on most songs and played rhythm guitar.<br />
<br />
The band's self-titled debut album, featuring the singles 'Just What I Needed',&nbsp;'My Best Friend's Girl'&nbsp;and 'Good Times Roll', reached Number 18 on the Billboard album charts and put them on the leading edge of pop-rock.<br />
<br />
The Cars scored their first top-20 single, 'Let's Go', in 1979 and launched a succession of hits throughout the 1980s such as 'Shake It Up'&nbsp;and 'Drive',&nbsp;always identifiable through Ocasek's distinctive vocals.<br />

The band split up in 1988, and Orr died of pancreatic cancer at age 53 in 2000. The surviving members reunited for a final album, 'Move Like This',&nbsp;in 2010.<br />

<p>Actor Mark Salling, who had a supporting role as a high school athlete-turned-singer in the TV series &quot;Glee,&quot; was indicted on Friday on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography, officials said.</p>

<p>The 33-year-old Salling agreed to turn himself in on June 3 to face the charges filed in federal court in Los Angeles, the U.S. Attorney&#39;s Office for the region said in a statement.</p>

<p>Representatives for Salling, a Los Angeles resident, and his attorney, did not immediately return calls.</p>

<p>The federal charges against the Texas-born Salling for receipt and possession of child pornography stem from his arrest by Los Angeles police and federal agents on Dec. 29, 2015. He was released on bail of $20,000 and was initially expected to be charged in Los Angeles County court.</p>

<p>But after investigators realized the &quot;scope of the collection&quot; of child porn they had uncovered, the case was handed over to federal prosecutors, the U.S. Attorney&#39;s Office said.</p>

<p>&quot;The traditional stereotype about the kinds of people who commit child sexual exploitation crimes simply doesn&#39;t dovetail with reality,&quot; Joseph Macias, a special agent in charge for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement on the filing of the charges.</p>
