Here’s one such example that most of you will love to drive. All modifications done are neat but not so simple underneath.
This modified Volkswagen Vento Diesel from Tamil Nadu produces 148 BHP and 350 Nm of peak torque. Normally, it produces 108 BHP and 250 Nm of torque, which anyways has enough grunt to make you revving hard. With a 40 BHP and 100 Nm rise, imagine how well it can pick up and swiftly cruise past 100.
