T3 India December 2017

SPLIT THE DIFF-ERENCE The e-Evolution’s electric all-wheel drive is aided by a computer-controlled differential called AYC (Active Yaw Control), which constantly monitors rear tyre grip and controls how much torque each wheel is supplied, making it faster and safer RALLY SCHOOL The AI system uses sensors to monitor your driving and assist you, if need be, but it’s also got a coaching function that teaches you how to drive better MITSUBISHI E-EVOLUTION Mitsubishi’s original Evolution was a motoring icon – a supercar slayer for a pint-sized price. It was basically a 4WD rally car, ever-so-slightly detuned for the road. And it got even better throughout its 10-iteration tenure, until production ended in 2016. But the legend is back, or at least it looks that way, with Mitsubishi’s announcement of the…

ONEPLUS 5T From 32,999 , oneplusstore.in Continuing last year’s tradition, the 5T a marginal upgrade that won’t annoy early adopters but is meant to follow the latest design trends to attract more user attention. In a nutshell, the 5T is OP5 with edge to edge display and improved cameras. We get a 6.01” display with 18:9 aspect ratio, slim bezels and 1080x 2160 resolution. All this added, screen real estate comes in a size that is marginally larger than the original. As expected, the fingerprint sensor has been shunted to the rear. The new dual camera setup has dropped the telephoto lens of yore and swapped it a for a new 20MP sensor with f/1.7 aperture and 1 micron pixel size for better low light photography. However, the 16MP primary…

Your fingerprints are unique to you, but did you know that your hearing is too? Research shows that each of us has different levels of sensitivity to various frequencies of sound. This means you’ll hear music differently to the next person, and will pick up on, or miss, certain notes. So, how do you pick the right headphones for your hearing? Step forward, adaptive audio headphones, such as Nura (£349, nuraphone.com). The Nura uses soundwave tech to automatically measure your hearing, then adapts the music to suit – helping you to hear each note perfectly.

Lapels should be silk peaked (or a…
