The 7 millionth Unit

This special 7 millionth Scorpio trim was adorned in beautiful garlands and had a special board with ‘70 lakh celebration’ written on it. The board was placed below the front grilles on the bumper. Mr. Vijay Kalra happens to be the proud owner of this 7 millionth Scorpio. Reportedly, the Mahindra Scorpio SUV was the first indigenously designed vehicle from Mahindra. Earlier, Mahindra used to be strictly an automobile assembly company. With Scorpio, the Indian Auto Giant broke conventional norms by playing second fiddle to suppliers. The major systems on the first Scorpio were designed and engineered by suppliers themselves. Mahindra only gave inputs on overall design and performance.
