About this issue
Laws don't usually interest us here at TopGear, but one regulation matters to us: one that led to the birth of the car you see on the cover. It's the Porsche 911 Targa 4S, with a beautiful glass section and a roof that folds away into the boot, a vehicle that's as precise as any other 911, but also a treat to look at, and a piece of automotive history. Also in this issue is the Benelli TNT 899, a naked Italian motorcycle that’s got a name to fit its explosive personality. The oldest bike manufacturer from Italy is making its debut in India, and we give you the low-down on its plans. We also drive the brand-new C-Class on our roads. In its fifth generation, the C has grown by leaps and bounds, and is almost like a mini S-Class. Then there's the battle of the behemoths: the Indian Chief Vintage takes on Triumph's Thunderbird LT. And, talking about giants fighting it out, the new Mahindra Scorpio gets into a fistfight with the other popular Indian SUV, the Tata Safari. Other interesting bits? An account of the last race of the 2014 MotoGP season, an interview with Neel Jani, Porsche's Indo-Swiss World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans driver, drives and rides of the facelifted Mercedes B-Class, the Vento TDI DSG, the Mercedes E350 CDI, and the new Indian Scout. As usual, the December issue of TG is packed as hell and a page-turner. Download your copy now.
