Hybrid-V6 Ferrari 296 GTB headlines April 2022 issue of evo India

India-exclusive test drive of the Ferrari 296 GTB headlines the April 2022 issue. This is a landmark sports car for Ferrari — the first ever prancing horse road car with a V6 engine, the most powerful rear-wheel-drive sports car in the world, and with the hybrid boost it also has the highest specific output of any powertrain in the world. The 296 still makes an eye-watering 819bhp and 740Nm, all while being able to drive at speeds of up to 135kmph in electric-only mode. And the wheelbase has been shortened with the goal to make it the most fun to drive in its segment. A blast through the brilliant Spanish countryside and a very sideways track session with an Assetto Fiorano-spec 296 reveals an absolutely astonishing sports car that redefines Fun to Drive.

Also on the cover is our record-setting 24 hour challenge of getting from Sand to Snow in the Mahindra Thar — a proper real-world endurance test of both man and machine.

We stopped the press to make sure we included a detailed walk around the Tata Curvv EV Concept, an SUV-Coupe that is set to go into production in two years with both an electric and ICE powertrain.

We’ve done plenty of fun stuff starting with racing an EV, the RS e-tron GT, against ICE cars at the BIC. This month’s big road trip is with the Tata Safari where we revive our Reclaim Your Life series. First drives include the Lexus NX 350h, Tata Altroz DCA, MG ZS EV, new BMW X4 and the Volvo XC40 Recharge. On two wheels, we have gotten you a real-world road review of the Triumph Street Triple, ridden the RE Scram 411 both on road and off-road, reviewed the Suzuki Avenis.

Catch all the action in the April 2022 issue of evo India
