In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Tata.ev has teamed up with Red Bull India for a series of extreme vehicular challenges, and the star of these would be the Tata Harrier.ev and Lebanese Red Bull athlete Abdo “Dado” Feghali. We are very excited to see the upcoming video, the first in the series, which will be released soon.
For the uninitiated, the Tata Harrier.ev is the first Indian EV to come with a dual-motor AWD setup, which Tata calls Quad Wheel Drive (QWD for short). The numbers are staggering — a combined output of 396PS and, more importantly for an off-roader, 504Nm. Tata claims a 0-100 kmph time of just 6.3 seconds — that’s seriously quick. It is backed by a 75kWh battery pack that supports 1.5C fast charging. The Harrier.ev can regain 250km of range in around 15 minutes. We already had an idea of just how capable the Harrier.ev was when we attended the Quad Drive event.
As for the man behind the wheel, Abdo “Dado” Feghali, well, he started competing in 1998. He went to claim four runners-up positions in his home country’s national rally championships before winning the whole thing three times. Not content with that, He managed to secure the crown of the Middle East’s Hill Climb champion on three separate occasions. But his impressive resume has one more item — the Lebanese rally driver broke the Guinness World Record for the longest drift in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in 2013.
With a car like that paired with a driver like this, we can surely expect some fireworks, and that’s why we are eagerly waiting for the first video to drop.
