People just don’t know when to stop. When these yuppies in their W204 Mercedes C-Class saw a Mahindra XUV500 driving pretty hard on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, they decided to challenge it – on a busy, public highway. Not only did they lose the “race”, they even managed to put their lives at risk, along with other road users.
Both cars reach speeds over 190 km/h, and at one point, the Mercedes almost rear ends a Hyundai, as the driver couldn’t predict which way to go after the XUV cuts him off, leaving a gap in traffic that ceased to exist as soon as the Mahindra weaved dangerously through.
The driver of the Mahindra that instigated the duel can also be seen driving like a buffoon, cutting lanes and overtaking from the left side at barely legal speeds. While its commonplace to see such boy-racers driving mainstream cars to their limits on these roads, it’s appalling to see such behavior draw positive reactions when posted on social media.
Though we condemn these kinds of acts, we were pleasantly surprised that the Mahindra punched its way ahead of the Mercedes. However, we don’t doubt for a moment that the 140 PS strong 2.2-litre diesel engine is strong enough to push the XUV500 to speeds nearing 200 km/h. Take it to the track guys.
