Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. Hope you all will appreciate my enthusiasm. Regarding technical knowledge of cars I'm a layman but I'm very much instresed in Indian Automotive scene. Of all cars available here The Safari appeals to me most and Suzuki Swift the least.

Well friends I have a friend. He was my Schoolmate and from his early days he was always into the cars and a big TELCO fan. In june this year Tata Motors invited him to their Pune Headquartes to examine his idea of Dimple Flap Safety Design (Now does anybody here actually knows what the hell it is because he never tells me, he has even filed a patent for it in US and India).

Since he was coming from Tata's headquarters the first thing i asked him was about new Tata Safari Dicor 2.2 (the first time I read about it was right here at Team-Bhp) through an email. He replied after three days. Below is the piece of mail he wrote me back (I'm copying and pasting it).

Hmmm well im answering ur query...Tata Motors AGM is already over. New Dicor 2.2 may be slated for launch in this festive seasons otherwise in Jan-07, the development is already over & currently itz on validation. i've also driven both DICORS ( 2.2 for Safari & 1.4 (90 bhp) for Indica/Indigo during my summer interns at Engineering Reserch Centre (ERC), Tata Motors R&D Headquaters, Pune.

Both engines are OSSUM & chef-d'oeuvre, they can dupe anyone as petrol but bigger surprise is that new 3.0 V6 200+bhp is under development...well specificly development over just validation & testing is to be done. This engine 'll be used in next gen Safari Platform (X2) fron 2008 onwards...again remind you that this engine is inhouse one, not with AVL. So hats off to Tata guys.

The thing that got me excited was what i have marked in bold. A Safari with 200+ BHP is enough good news for any civilised beast to cheer up. So guys is this news true??? Do we really get to see a 200+ Bhp wholly indigenous car in India.
