Mahindra Unveils a Formula E-Inspired Special Edition of the BE6 Electric SUV
Mahindra, India’s only automaker with a long-running Formula E team, has revealed a bold new BE6 Formula E Edition — a limited-run version of its upcoming BE6 electric SUV. Instead of copying the sleek look of a race car, Mahindra gave this special edition an aggressive, off-road appearance that feels more Dakar Rally than Formula E street circuit.
Available exclusively in India, the BE6 Formula E Edition arrives with major exterior changes, a race-themed interior, and all the technology from the standard BE6 — including up to 282 bhp, a 79 kWh battery, and 500 km of range.
