Ed takes the wheel of the Aston Martin DB12 as it commemorates 110 years of the British marque. We put several Mercedes-Benz cars to the test, including a big AMG. We also test the performance of the Tata Punch EV and the Tigor iCNG AMT. Additionally, we delve into the updates on the Mahindra XUV700 and the Citroen C3 Aircross AT.

We take a trip down memory lane at the inaugural Oberoi Concours d'Elegance, while Ed takes part in yet another record run, this time in a German-engineered car for India. We also witness the full first season of the CEAT Indian Supercross Racing League.

Take Two
We reminisce about the Yamaha R1 generations and explore the electric Kinetic Luna. We head to the Rann of Kutch to ride the new Hero Mavrick and Matter Aera 5000 and hit some trails with the new Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. We also extensively review the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 and the TVS Apache RTR 310 on Indian roads.
