Adding to the familiarity saga, the Majestor has been launched in Kuwait under a different nameplate – the MG Rakan 4X4, as a part of the brand’s global rebadging strategy.

Powertrain-identical to the Rakan, at the heart of the Majestor we can expect a similar 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine mated with an eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission and a 4×4 drivetrain, producing 216PS and 478Nm.

The Majestor shares the same platform with the MG Gloster, except with a few size-enhancing features. These include (but aren’t limited to) a new blacked-out front grille, vertical headlamps, horizontal LED DRLs akin to the Hector, new alloy wheels, new LED tail lamps, and a dual exhaust along with some new blacked-out cosmetic features. Since the Gloster gets Level 2 ADAS on higher trims, we can expect it to be standard on the Majestor, given its premium positioning.

The price of the Majestor can be estimated to be north of ₹50 lakh; but at that price point, it may burn into the Gloster’s sales. Furthermore, it will be set against seasoned rivals like the Toyota Fortuner and the Toyota Legender. BONUS point: if Ford decides to return to India with the Everest SUV anytime this year, it could potentially rival this newcomer as well.

This specific example we are talking about is not a regular Toyota Fortuner, as it has gone through some extreme modifications that allow it to run faster, pushing the envelope for diesel SUVs. No wonder this one is being dubbed as the fastest three-turbo Toyota Fortuner in the world. While a lot of details about the build aren’t really available, this one runs a three-turbo setup along with the engine receiving hardware upgrades to handle the massive boost produced by the trio. To support the show, the fueling has been upgraded, and the ECU has received a custom tune.

However, only the engine-level modifications are not enough for this owner. To complete the build, it  has also received a clutch upgrade and drivetrain modifications which help it to put down all the power that the engine is now making. Not to forget the suspension and brakes, which have also been upgraded to bring it to a quick halt. The SUV also sits lower than usual. The overall build looks quite close to the stock and can be passed off as a sleeper build. Only the keen-eyed, curious automotive nuts can figure out what is going on with this Fortuner.
