Taking place at Laverstoke Park Farm, Hampshire, UK, August 24 to 26, Mahindra's Gen2 car will take to CarFest's new track alongside Formula One cars, supercars and grand tourers.

With 250kW of power on offer, the Gen2 will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 2.8-seconds and go on to a top speed of 280km/h. After Mahindra Racing's Nick Heidfeld set the open-wheel eRecord for the Hillclimb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed back in 2017, Mahindra will be looking for a similar result with their new challenger at CarFest.
