Hyundai Verna: Live By Your Own Rules

Race car driver and commercial pilot Sneha Sharma, who is ‘India’s fastest F4 racer’, drives and flies powerful machines. Here’s what happens when she takes to the wheel of the Hyundai’s punchy Verna Turbo 1.0 DCT....

Having a penchant for fine machinery since her childhood, Sneha Sharma knows a thing or two about speed and power. The new Hyundai Verna catch-es her eye instantly and at the same time, reminds her of her first go-karting experience 15 years ago and left the circuit setting the fastest lap at the end of the day! Her time with the Hyundai Verna is best encapsulated in her own words, “I started doing part-time jobs as a mechanic, finetuning engines, and loading and unloading equipment to saving up enough money so I could participate in races. It’s been a crazy journey — and today as ‘India’s fastest woman’ and a rising F4 star, the world looks a lot sunnier than it many years ago. And more fun, too, I realise as I throw the Hyundai Verna Turbo 1.0 DCT around the track and power-slide, brake hard, and even drift the car. The Verna might be a plush sedan, but it was more than up to the task of affording me an engaging time around the karting track. If you buy the Hyundai Verna Turbo 1.0 DCT, I’d reckon you might not really head to a track, but if you did, this one like all Hyundais, won’t let you down.”
