An All-Electric Mahindra Supercar -- Wait, What!

Mahindra, a company renowned for making brute SUVs, is taking a plunge into the Tesla/Ferrari territory. Sounds odd? Yes, it is. But one has to remember that the company’s international portfolio is not just limited to SUVs. The Indian SUV maker also makes electric cars, not to forget the Halo concept, and plays a prominent role in the Formula E all-electric racing series. Merge all of this electronic wizardry with the legendary Italian design house Pininfarina, and the recipe for an all-electric supercar basically writes itself. This rumour was confirmed by Mahindra's CEO who hinted towards a Pininfarina-badged supercar with a fully electric powertrain. 

Mahindra acquired the Pininfarina design firm last year in December. Soon after that, word of an electric supercar with Mahindra's Formula E tech starting floating in the auto space. If it comes to life, this would be Pininfarina's first badged car to be sold by its name. There are some speculations that this dream of an electric supercar would first be tested by making an all-electric sedan, which sounds like the more practical approach. As of now, Mahindra has an electric sedan in the country, the E-Verito. But the one we are talking about would be a Tesla rival and not an e20 with a different body. Pininfarina has designed electric supercars before, such as the H2 Speed, which was showcased at the Geneva Motor Show. When will this car come into action, or will it ever, I guess we will have to wait to find out. But this is certainly a bold move by Mahindra and we support them to the fullest.
