We bring to you the story of The Fastest Indian, the Ultraviolette F99, as it unfolded in an exclusive screen- ing at PVR!

AT xBhp, we are suckers for a good story especially the ones that go along the lines of 'From nothing to something to something sensational'. Mostly because of our own resonance with this particular story. From a single webpage to a massive community. This piece, though, is about another marquee that has lived this story and continues to build on it. We are talking about Ultraviolette Automotive and their story of creating The Fastest India.

We have ridden and had rave reviews for their F77, and then the F77 Mach 2 took things even further. We also created an experimental piece about how this relatively new brand is competing against seasoned giants in the motorcycle industry and still holding its own. But as we all know, a stagnant brand is as good as buried. So Ultraviolette is taking steps to avoid that... or shall we say massive strides!

The Ultraviolette F99 is the brand's motorcycle that was built from the ground up to be the quickest and fastest motorcycle ever conceived and built in India. It is a tall order because the F99 is a nigh-on super-bike, and those aren't made easily. Moreover, there is still the matter of automotive giants that are already around, and then other manufacturers that are also looking to build in India. Simply put, a tall order with a lot of expected yet challenging obstacles.
