If you are a working professional or building your own empire as they say, when was the last time you lost track of time? When was the last time that the tick tock of the clock didn’t dictate the ordeal of your day? We are used to living our lives in warp mode, accepting technological advancements that facilitate the same. But in the process of achieving the maximum, we are losing out on analogue experiences. The automotive industry isn’t saved from this digital catastrophe either. Huge screens are robbing us off from satisfactory mechanical clicks and the convenience that comes married to them.

Even the flag bearers are now getting ridiculed for just being ultra fast modes of transportation. Amidst this heavy hailstorm, there still are some vehicles standing tall, holding their iron-clad umbrellas tight. Like strong pillars made out of heavy metal, they are gracing the gushing waters without letting their sheen fade away. One such timeless icon is the Mercedes-Benz G400d or as it is so lovingly called across the globe - the G-Wagon!

XTREME MACHINE
Maserati's racing history is a patchwork of epic highs and long absences, so can the MCXtrema - a track only version of its latest supercar-bring back the glory days?
