I must clarify that I got to drive the Scorpio S10 on the test track within Mahindra's Nashik plant, but also had a more extensive drive on what appeared to be an S8 variant. That car was fully covered in camouflage, but that meant I could drive it outside on the open road! I managed to get a good mix of winding, straight and uneven road surfaces to really put the vehicle through its paces. In fact it is during this drive that I also tested the rear seat comfort that I mentioned earlier. I met with some of the engineers who have worked on the new platform, and they told me the key target was to improve handling. That was the right target indeed, given the old Scorpio lacked in that department.
