</p><p>&nbsp; The 23-year old wrestler, Sakshi Malik, made India proud by winning the Bronze medal in the recently concluded Rio Olympics. In fact she is the first woman from India to win a medal in Wrestling. Plus it was the first medal by an Indian athlete in the competition. On this proud moment Anand Mahindra, Chairman and MD of Mahindra & Mahindra, announced that they treat this awesome achievement of the Rohtak girl by gifting a customized Mahindra Thar.</p><p>&nbsp; Anand Mahindra said the champion will soon receive the gift. This car was already seen at the 2016 Auto Expo at Delhi. It looks muscular and sets itself apart from the rest of the compact SUVs. On the whole, the customization done was mind boggling. It&nbsp;was tastefully modded with matte grey paint coupled with orange silhouette. Exterior wise, it has protruding yet sporty front bumper that doubles up as bull bar. The latter houses a winch mount. The wheel arches are beefed up with side steps in between. Even the bonnet is beefed up with a huge air scoop. One of the biggest attractions of this off-roader is the headlamps wrapped by circular LED Daytime Running Lights that gel really well with the glossy black grille in the center. Furthermore, there's snorkel and high-lift jack that are fitted on the driver and co-passenger sides respectively. Moving to the rear, an imposing spare wheel, mounted on the tailgate, that makes the LED tailights puny. Above the rear bumper are exhausts on each side.</p><p>&nbsp; There are some interesting changes in the cabin too. The dashboard unit is swathed with a dual tone scheme of orange and black that looks stunning and the steering wheel is also matched with this pattern. The center console carries 2 DIN touchscreen music system that sits between the AC vents. All the AC vents are wrapped in orange shade. Even the gear stick and cup holders are given the same treatment.</p><p>&nbsp; Now the talking point this beast, yes it's the wheels! It gets huge off-road tyres with the high profile thread patterns on them. This gives a rocky look to the vehicle. The car is likely to come in a 4x4 option with mechanical locking rear differential. The details about the engine of this car is not revealed yet, but it might have the 2.5-litre CRDe diesel engine that churns out 105 BHP @ 3500 RPM with a peak torque of 247 Nm @ 1800-2000 RPM. The way big heads of the country are gifting the champs of Rio is quite motivating for the athletes.</p><p></p>
