In this issue

Headlining the November 2023 issue of evo India is the latest and most powerful raging bull from Bologna — the Lamborghini Revuelto coupe. The Revuelto brings the V12 into the future, as it is now paired to hybrid-tech for a combined total output of 1001bhp. Also in this issue is Porsche’s 60th birthday gift to itself, and its fans, in the form of the ultimate driver’s 911 — the 992 911 S/T. Essentially a GT3 RS Touring, complete with a manual gearbox, this Neunelfer will go down in history books as one of the greatest cars of the 21st century!
We’ve also got reviews of many facelifted SUVs in this issue, including the 2023 Tata Safari and Harrier, BMW X5 and X7, Range Rover Velar and Audi Q8. Not to forget the India-specific Mercedes-Benz G 400d Adventure Edition.
In part three of our ABC of off-roading series with the Maruti Suzuki Jimny, we show you how to tackle Level 1,2 and 3 off-road trails. We’ve also taken a roadtrip to Vadodara to show you a part of India’s newest expressway — the Delhi-Vadodara Expressway — on our Great Driving Roads Series: Expressways Edition. And a deep dive into what went across the country in the Volkswagen #TiguanExperience. On two wheels, we’ve gotten astride the all-new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Triumph Scrambler 400 X, KTM 250 Duke and TVS X.
