Racing culture just hit the streets. Mahindra today unveiled the BE 6 Formula E Edition — billed as the world’s first Formula E–themed special-edition SUV — with prices starting at ₹23.69 lakh (FE2). The top FE3 variant with added features is priced at ₹24.49 lakh. Bookings open 14 January 2026 and deliveries begin 14 February 2026.
This isn’t just a styling pack. It’s a full-on motorsport statement: bespoke looks, race-inspired cockpit details, performance tweaks, and exclusive benefits for early buyers. Mahindra has tapped Kush Maini, FIA Formula 2 winner and one of India’s fastest drivers, as brand ambassador — so the story is authentic, not just decorative.
