HM to give Ambassador a makeover
Posted on 22 Mar 201114,848 Views11 Comments
The quintessential Ambassador is set to get its most radical makeover in the six decades of its history.
Ambassador, the oldest face of Indian automobiles, will undergo a complete change-from structural design to aerodynamics to aesthetics. The car's manufacturer, Hindustan Motors, is hoping that a new-look Amby will be able to compete with today's modern cars and thus stop a slide into oblivion. The revamp began last December, and it will be at least a year before the results become evident.
The Amby’s familiar rounded rear squab and curvaceous sloping hood will give way to an aerodynamic bonnet with straight lines and a new boot with integrated tail lights. The all-new Ambassador will have modern wrap-around headlamps, and a design somewhat similar to Maruti Suzuki's Swift.
The new Amby will also have new engine calibrations, an anti-lock brake system and aluminium alloy wheels. For comfort, there will be new leather seating with wood grain interiors. There will also be an integrated music system and instrument cluster catering to the needs of the new generation. But what will remain same are its traditional dependability, spaciousness and comfort. According to vendors involved in the makeover, the car will be totally transformed with a new design with better aerodynamics coming from a new architecture.

Instead of experimenting with something radical, why not follow the same approach as Royal Enfield motorcyles has done with the classic ?
