Conducted by Sarblo Motors in Punjab, this SUV is the latest Mahindra Thar modifications. Debuted at the Autocar Performance Show 2018, it appears to have an impressive road presence with a metallic blue paint scheme on the outside, a bonnet which has ‘flame’ decorations, front fenders and doors. The most remarkable customised feature on this vehicle is the new wheelset which has been equipped with massive off-road tyres so that the SUV can have a much more masculine appearance than the standard model. Moreover, Mahindra has also added a roll cage and a plastic snorkel in the front; high-positioned restyled fenders on the side profile; and bumpers in the rear. 

Despite the thorough modifications to the exterior, the Mahindra Adventures "Draco" borrows the 2.5L diesel motor from the regular model which can deliver a maximum power of 105 bhp and a peak torque of 247 Nm as the regular model. The transmission duties are implemented by the conventional 5-speed MT unit.

Mahindra Thar Archer

It took a customizer in Delhi two years and Rs 10 lakh to complete the Arche Muscle Truck Concept, which is based on the Mahindra Thar. This off-road vehicle has a much bolder and angular look than the traditional one. Specifically, it measures 6 inches less in height, but 6 inches more in length than the regular model, thanks to the new doors. The hood has also been heightened by 10 inches.

A new dashboard, a three-spoke driving wheel, roof-mounted switches, remote central locking and a high-end Rockford Fosgate music setup contribute to the interior modifications done to the vehicle. What’s more, a DieselTronic tuning box and a performance exhaust pipe are also equipped on the Archer; the suspension comes with fibre leaf springs and gas-powered shock absorbers.

More noteworthily, this vehicle is powered by both of the motors which power the standard Mahindra Thar, the 2.5L diesel motor with 105 bhp and 247 Nm and the 2.6L M2DiCR motor with 63 bhp and 195 Nm.
