Anand Mahindra is famous for his witty and hilarious social media commentary and his latest Twitter reply explores his funny side even more.
In the latest reply to a post on Twitter, Anand Mahindra says that he doesn’t mind people calling the new SUV, ScorpioN, with a sting. The ‘N’ in the name represents the new version of the iconic Scorpio to distinguish itself from the Scorpio Classic that will continue to sell alongside this new model. A Twitter user tagged Anand Mahindra in the post regarding pronouncing the Scorpio N as Scorpion. Certain design elements on the exterior styling do represent the sting of the scorpion too.
