Mayhem | Robert "Bob" Floyd

Summary: When you get called back to Top Gun for a mission, you don't expect to run into an old fling and someone new.

Pairing: Robert "Bob" Floyd x Mitchell f!reader (callsign: Mayhem)

Content warnings: Mentions of previous Hangman x reader, some fluff, drinking, implied sex, Hangman causing problems as usual, a slight cliffhanger (?)

Spotify playlist | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |

A/N: I had a big idea and it's becoming a series now.

As soon as you walked into The Hard Deck, it felt like all eyes were on you. The game of pool fully stopped as Hangman checked you out while you ordered yourself a beer. He hadn't seen you in a few years, but he definitely would've remembered if he saw that dress on you.

"Hey, Bagman, get it together," Phoenix said as she saw you start to walk over.

You tapped Coyote on the shoulder and he turned around to hug you before you two started to catch up. You could see Hangman stare at you with desire in his eyes, but you decided to ignore it. What's past is past.

Rooster wasn't far behind you, and you kind of breathed a sigh of relief when he started to talk to Hangman.

"Hey, Phoenix," you said as you stood next to her.

"Mayhem! It feels like it's been forever!" She exclaimed. She gave you a side hug and introduced you to her back seater for the mission.

"Mayhem, this is Bob. Bob, this is Mayhem."

"Wait, is Bob your name or your callsign?" You asked.

"Uh, both."

You saw him start to blush and it made you smile. After Rooster played Great Balls Of Fire, you decided to switch your beer for a water. Phoenix smiled as she heard the two of you talking to each other.

"I know this might seem a bit rushed but do you want to go to my place? We can watch a movie or something," you offered Bob. He nodded his head and you told him what your car looked like. As you walked over to Penny to tell her that you were going home, Phoenix grabbed your arm.

"I thought you were done with men in uniform after-,"

"He's not like Hangman. And we both have training tomorrow. Nothing's gonna happen, I promise," you said.

"Okay. Just be careful."

"I will."

Bob was waiting by your car, and he smiled when he saw you. The drive to your house was about ten minutes, and the two of you talked the whole time. When you walked into the house, you tossed your keys into the decorative bowl and kicked your shoes off.

"I have all of the streaming services or we can play a board game if you want. Up to you, really."

"Ok. Uh, have you ever seen Central Intelligence? It's one of my favorites."

"I love that movie!" You exclaimed. Bob sat on the couch next to you as you turned on the TV and found the movie.

Throughout the duration of the movie, you moved closer to Bob.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked. You nodded your head and smiled as the gap between the two of you started to close. The kiss quickly became heated as you started to unbutton the top part of his uniform.

"We can go upstairs if you want," you said as Bob started leaving kisses on your neck. He almost picked you up and threw you over his shoulder at the thought.

Both of you woke up at five the next morning. You crawled out of bed, wrapping yourself in a robe, before you realized that Bob didn't drive here. You quickly took a shower before putting on your flight suit and dog tags. Bob watched in amazement as you did your hair.

"What?" You asked him.

"Nothing, I've just never seen someone do their hair that fast."

"Well, I've been doing my hair like this since before I enlisted. You drove to the bar last night, right?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. I'll drop you off over there and we'll see each other in probably not even two hours at this point. Sound good?"

"Yeah, but can I at least get your number?"

You sighed before putting your number in Bob's phone and texting yourself so that you had his number. Once you dropped Bob off, you had just over an hour to make your coffee, pack your lunch, and get to base.

"Hey, Bob, you wanna know why her callsign is Mayhem?" Hangman asked as they walked down the hallway with Phoenix and Coyote.

"Don't say anything, Bob," Phoenix said. Hangman smirked as he pulled out his phone and pulled up your Instagram account. The only reason you never thought to block him was because he never interacted with your account. Phoenix looked at Hangman like she was about to kill him as he pulled up a picture of you and Maverick and shoved the phone in Bob's face.

"Okay?" Bob said like it was a question.

Everyone took their seats. You were slightly late, so you sat in the back alone, hoping no one would notice. As your dad stood in front of everyone, Bob's face went blank.

"Oh crap," he mumbled. Phoenix slightly nudged him right as you looked up.

(alt text/image IDs under the cut, plus one additional Evil Image if you're brave)

[Image 1-4 IDs: A collection of drawings of Loboto in alternate office; the first image shows all three together, then each subsequent image shows one in detail. From left to right, there is, first, a grumpy-looking Loboto sitting with his hands down in his lap, wearing a button-up with diamond-shaped bronze buttons, an untied green bow tie with yellow flowers, an ashy-brown apron tied at the waist, purple pinstriped dress pants, and heeled dark-brown boots. Second, a grinning Loboto in a crop-top white ringer tee with purple collar and sleeve hems, dark ashy-brown overalls with ripped knees, and heeled dark-brown boots; he is holding a brain in his gloved left hand, with lime-green goo dripping off of it. Third, Loboto from the side, kicking one leg back and grinning with a finger at his chin, wearing a bulky green turtleneck sweater with pink, yellow and blue stripes with the sleeves rolled up, over which is a long purple dress with a pattern of seaweed and fish along the bottom hem.]

[Image 5 ID: Loboto, with a neutral expression and one eyebrow raised, standing with his left hand on his hip. He is wearing a short brown overall dress with a frayed hem, over a baggy striped t-shirt, which is in turn over a tight dark-teal turtleneck seater, as well as black skinny jeans with torn knees. He is also wearing his heeled brown boots with the white buttoned-up wraps, and a necklace with a charm of a single molar.]

[Image 6 ID: Loboto and Oleander standing side-by-side, holding hands; Loboto is grinning and looking down at Oleander, who is blushing and looking off to the side with one hand on his hip. Loboto is wearing a pink beret with a tooth embroidered on it, a button-up teal t-shirt with a pink collar and a purple toothbrush pattern, a long light-blue spaghetti-strap dress over the t-shirt with a frilly bottom and a pattern of floss twirling around the entire dress, pink socks with a tooth pattern, and light-brown lace-up hiking boots. Oleander is wearing a rainbow high-collared jacket, olive-green shorts and baseball cap, and white socks with dark-brown sandals.]

[Image 7 ID: Loboto, left, and Oleander, right, sitting together. Loboto is propped up with his left hand and his legs in front of him, right leg bent so his right prosthetic arm rests on the knee, grinning widely. He is wearing a baggy t-shirt that hangs off one shoulder, with the bi flag colors along the hem, collar and sleeves, with the "VENEERS FOR ALL" image on the chest also framed with the bi flag colors. He is also wearing short purple exercise shorts with pink hems, white knee-high socks with stripes of the bi flag colors, black sandals, and has the bi flag tied around his shoulders like a cape. Oleander is sitting leaning back against him, propped up with his right arm, sipping at a drink through a curly straw held in his left hand. He is wearing sunglasses, a rainbow visor, an open rainbow jacket with the progress flag inlay colors (white, pink, light blue, black and brown) on the pockets and hem, a tight camo-pattern crop top, frayed jean shorts, and sandals. He has tan lines visible at his neck and knees, and chest hair peeking out of his crop top.]

[Image 8 ID: Six drawings of Oleander in various outfits, with three in the top row and three in the bottom row. From left to right in the top row: first, Oleander in light blue pinstriped overalls over his usual outfit. He has a welder's mask pushed up on top of his head and is stepping on a car muffler with one foot, sipping from an orange coffee mug with one hand, the other on his hip. Second, Oleander in a reddish-brown varsity jacket over a white tank top, with cuffed khaki pants and a belt and white tennis shoes. He is wearing aviator sunglasses that he is lifting up with a grin, the other hand in a fist on his hip. Third, Oleander in a dark-blue "All Paul Cruise" tank top with orange collar and sleeve hems, blue jeans, reddish-grey boots closed with straps, matching fingerless gloves, and a pink-and-orange sweatband, grimacing and lifting pink hand-weights. From left to right in the bottom row: first, Oleander in a partially-open, orange flower-print button-up shirt, camo-print swim trunks, hot-pink flip-flops and a matching visor, plus aviator sunglasses and a beach ball under one arm as he calls and waves to someone with the other hand.

Third, Oleander in Sonic's Favorite Clothes, with a baggy pink shirt with yellow stripes on the sleeves and a purple arrow with a yellow "M" on the front, purple shorts, bright yellow socks, dark purple high-tops with yellow stripes, a backwards pink snapback and headphones around his neck; he is holding a CD with one hand and doing a V-sign with the other.]

[Image 9 ID: Oleander and Loboto standing in front of a Sears photo studio-style laser background. Oleander is sitting on a purple cushion, looking exhausted and slightly annoyed, one hand reaching up to Loboto's hand on his shoulder. Loboto is standing behind him with one hand on his shoulder, grinning at the camera. A slightly transparent, superimposed giant version of Oleander's face is in the background. They are wearing matching orange t-shirts, with Loboto's looking more like a crop top; Loboto's says "HE'S MY SWEET POTATO", with several hearts and a drawing of a potato, while Oleander's says simply "I YAM."]

ok if you made it this far congratulations you get the Evil Image. names removed to protect the innocent

[Evil Image ID: Two drawings of Loboto with screencaps from Discord conversations providing context. The first one shows him from behind holding up a jar of teeth, wearing a short ringer t-shirt, socks with sandals, and booty shorts that say "TEETH MACHINE" on the butt. The included screencap reads "y/n: loboto has novelty whacky booty shorts. 'teeth machine' across the ass". The second shows Loboto from behind leaning against a counter with his head against one hand, wearing a tank top, socks, and baggy shorts that say "HOO-RAH" on the butt. The included screencap reads "he also steals ollys pants to wear AS booty shorts. So he has a pair with like 'HOO-RAH' on the ass".]

Aston Martin One-77 (property — before being seized by Swiss authorities — of the son of the leader of one of the most corrupt governments in Central Africa)

In keeping with its tradition of producing limited edition, hand crafted exotica for the wealthy aficionado, best exemplified by the DB4 GT Zagato of the 1960s, Aston Martin previewed its proposed One-77 'hypercar' at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. 'The finished One-77 made its official debut in April 2009 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Ville d'Este, held on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, winning the 'Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes'. Designed by Marek Reichman, it was the fastest and most powerful Aston Martin ever built, with a top speed of 220mph, and also the most expensive, carrying a price tag of £1,150,000. Hailed by its maker as "possibly the world's most desirable automotive art form", the One-77 with its long bonnet and short tail was every inch the classically proportioned Gran Turismo, combing muscular pugnacity and feline grace in equal measure. A two-seater closed coupé, the One-77 featured advanced technology in the form of an immensely rigid and lightweight carbon fibre monocoque chassis, which carried a seamless body traditionally handcrafted in aluminium. Made from a single sheet of aluminium, each front wing was said to take one craftsman three weeks to produce.  Other state-of-the-art features included bi-xenon headlamps with integrated LED side lights and direction indicators, LED rear lamps (fog and reverse), carbon fibre front splitters, carbon fibre rear diffuser, and active aerodynamics with deployable spoiler. Providing the horsepower needed to breach the magic 200mph barrier was a stretched (to 7.3 litres) version of Aston Martin's existing 48-valve V12 engine. Extensively reworked by Cosworth Engineering, it produced 750bhp and 553lb/ft of torque, and was the world's most powerful normally aspirated road-car engine at the time of the One-77's introduction. Cosworth's extensive re-engineering included fitting dry-sump lubrication, which enabled the V12 to be carried 100mm lower in the One-77's chassis than in that of the DB9. Like the V8 in the One-77's Vantage sister car, the V12 engine was mounted towards the centre of the chassis, well aft of the front axle line in the interests of optimum weight distribution, to which end the six-speed automatic/manual transmission was located at the rear in the form of an integrated transaxle. Power was transmitted to the limited-slip differential by a carbon fibre prop shaft encased in a magnesium alloy torque tube, reaching the road surface via 20" forged alloy wheels - 7-spoke or 10-spoke - shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres.

Unusually for a road car, the One-77's all-independent suspension featured pushrod actuation of the adjustable mono-tube dampers, a system more commonly found in modern competition cars. There were double wishbones at all four corners: the front incorporating anti-dive geometry, and the rear anti-squat and anti-lift. The suspension was also electrically adjustable for both ride height and rate change.

The rack and pinion was power assisted, delivering 3.0 turns lock-to-lock, while the steering column was adjustable for both tilt and reach. Braking was supplied by carbon ceramic discs all round, gripped by six-piston callipers at the front, four-piston callipers at the rear. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), and traction control were all incorporated in the interests of controllability and safety. Releasing the driver's door, which swings out and arcs upwards, the One-77's fortunate owner would be confronted by a leather-trimmed sports steering wheel, electrically adjustable lightweight memory seats, and dual-stage driver/passenger front airbags. Other interior features included automatic temperature control, a trip computer, and touch-sensitive map-reading LED lights. Powerfold exterior memory mirrors came as standard, while front/rear parking cameras were an option. Number '35' of the 77 built, this EU model has a legend engraved on the door sill stating that it was 'Hand built in England for Theodore N'Guema Obiang Mangue'. Finished in red with red-piped cream interior, the car is offered with Equatorial Guinea registration papers.

basic post for if you want to get into superformula

superformula is the top flight of motorsport in japan, home to the fastest single seaters after f1. it's been around since 1973, which is quite a while!

4 races of the season may have passed but it is not too late and since there is increased interest this year i thought people might want to know, so...

the format

there are 22 cars and 2 groups of qualifying, Q1A and Q1B. the top 6 of each group then go on to fight for pole in Q2. each session is 7 min long.

the polesitter gets 3 points, starting p2 gets you 2 points, starting p3 gets you 1 point. this makes qualifying more important than other series imo

the races are typically 40ish laps; over 250km. you are given 2 sets of tyre compounds and you need to use both during the race, which means everyone must pit at some point. expect strategies like an f2 feature race.

the race winner gets 20 points. p2 gets 15, p3 gets 11, p4 gets 8, p5 gets 6. p6 down to p10 gets 5 to 1 point.

the drivers

they are mostly japanese, clearly. the radio and bulk of the onsite interviews are in japanese, but english comms will translate so i think it's not a problem. also the interviewer switches languages at the drop of a hat she's insane (in a good way).

i'm going to introduce the names you might have heard of in other series. but shoutout to tomoki nojiri, the current reigning champion.

ok. if you're reading this chances are you've heard of liam lawson (#15) and his exploits in this series thus far. one of marko's twinks-in-waiting and arguably the most promising one rn. has had a decent amount of lore in his career for his age thanks to dtm. and twitch 💀 bffs with yuki tsunoda and appeared on dts bc of it

ryo hirakawa (#20), the beloved little brother in the toyota gazoo racing #8, won le mans and the wec wdc as a rookie. youngest ever super formula driver. has come close, but has never won the championship. which he should bc he's won super gt and japan f3 already and if he wins this it's the japanese triple crown. bffs with nick cassidy of fe championship leader fame (sorry i had to mention it somehow)

kamui kobayashi (#7), who is somehow driving and being his own team principal in wec (where he coincidentally also drives a toyota #7). was in f1, has multiple wec titles to his name. but no super formula title either. in fairness i doubt it was ever his main focus. still fun to have him around.

if you've followed f2 since like 2018? you'll recognise some names such as nirei fukuzumi #12 (cousin nirei if you follow albon_pets, also has been sf vice-champion), nobuharu matsushita #50 (the embodiment of that tomato girl aesthetic on tiktok), giuliano alesi #36 (son of the jean alesi), and cem bolukbasi #55 (most recent f2 to sf grad alongside liam)

the calendar

ok there are only 5 races left.

sugo, 16-18 june

fuji, 14-16 july

motegi, 18-20 august

suzuka double header, 27-29 october

that's it! i'm new to this too tbh and i understand the timezones are pretty ass for people that aren't in the asia pacific region but i hope this helps you out regardless!

What car does Luka used to travel around? paternal grandpa would surely be seen riding a expensive bulletproof limousines complete with a chafer. I mostly imagine him using a Mercedes Benz that's all black and expensive looking and what house does MC live after Dad's death would it be a classic mansion inside a massive facility complex with high wall or something more low-key like a condominium with Ash and uncle Luka?

Yes, Grandpa Morozov uses a more classic, elegant, expensive cars with a really trusted chauffeur 😄 Other than limousines, he also likes Rolls Royce cars.

Luka, on the other hand, likes the more sporty and sleek types of cars. I imagine those like Bugatti, Lamborghini, McClaren. And of course, it has to be black to fit with his whole black-on-black aesthetic 😂 I think he would also customize his car to be more bulletproof, especially the windows.

That’s his personal favourite car, but if he needs to go to a more formal meeting with important people, or if he picks up MC and Ash, he also has a 4-doors/4-seaters Mercedes Benz.

After Viktor’s death, Luka raised MC and Ash in the Morozov Family compound located more on the outskirts and more affluent part of the city. It’s basically a (well-fortified) sleek and modern mansion that is guarded 24/7. If you’re wondering, the family mansion/compound in New York where grandpa lives in is more classically styled 😆 (You can probably guess Luka’s tastes).

He was really worried about Viktor’s killer coming back to finish MC off, so he rarely lets little MC and Ash go without some trusted guards or without him watching. MC and Ash basically got homeschooled for a year or so before Luka felt that it’s safe for MC and Ash to go back to another private high-school. He tried his best to pick them both up whenever he could, but if he couldn’t, he would make sure it’s a trusted and ‘capable’ chauffeur that picked them up.

Now, MC and Ash lives basically in a penthouse on top of an apartment building owned by the Morozovs; the apartment building is also guarded by the Morozov guards 24/7 and most of the staff that works there are also members of the Morozov Family. Yes, Luka is pretty paranoid on losing his beloved nephew/niece/nibling 🥲 especially since he knows the killer is still prowling out there.

The Perfect Opportunity

An excerpt from Day 1: Road Trip for LBSC’s Lukanette Week 2022:

Marinette stopped by her room first, changing into an outfit that featured less flour and sugar and telling the kwamis to behave while she was gone, before saying goodbye to her parents.

“Have a fun time!” Tom smiled as he squeezed her.

“But not too much fun.” Sabine amended, kissing Marinette’s cheeks. “It’ll be better if you finish university before giving us grandchildren.”

A surprised cough exploded from Marinette as she found herself choking at her mom’s words. “Maman!”

Tom's eyes clouded over as he smiled. “I don’t know, Sabine. I can’t wait for the sounds of tiny footsteps to fill our home again.”

Marinette's eyes bugged. “Papa! Stop! Luka and I- We’re not-!”

“Not yet.” Tom agreed, hands clasping over his chest as his eyes got that faraway look again. “But when you do finally get together, I can’t wait to see how cute our grandbabies will be!”

At a loss for words, Marinette decided to just hug her parents one last time and escape the room before they could embarrass her any further… or plant any more ideas in her head.

Not that she needed their help when Luka did a good job of that all by himself.

Especially when he looked at her the way he was the moment she stepped out of the bakery, eyes twinkling and arms crossed over his chest to where it pulled up his shirt to reveal a small strip of beautifully toned abs.

God! Marinette really wanted to lick him!

Unaware of the less than innocent thoughts playing through her mind, Luka smiled at her as he patted the hood of the car. “Ready to go?”

“Ready!” She squeaked before slapping her cheeks- hoping to expel any lingering naughty thoughts- and moving closer.

Piling into the two-seater that Jagged was letting Luka borrow, Marinette vibrated with joy as they set off.

Musical Casanova

A snippet from Musical Casanova:

Juleka gave her an amused look. “Everyone? Those flowers are in vases around the boat brightening up the decor.”

Marinette couldn’t hide the stupefied look on her face. “The boat?”

A look of realization hit the mother and daughter pair at the same time and she swore they wore the same amused and secretive smile.

“You thought Luka was buying those flowers for other women?”

Marinette nodded. “I just assumed he was some Casanova.”

Juleka laughed again. “Well, I can guarantee you that my brother doesn’t have a girlfriend or anything else. He's too much of an awkward dork.”

“Mhm. If anything, my boy has been walking around looking at those flowers with the most dopey look on his face. Love sick, I tell you he is.”

Musical Casanova (Part 2)

Another short snippet and art! Art commissioned from @sternschauer-detektiv​!!!! It’s so amazing!

Marinette’s brain felt as if it had slowed to a crawl. “So he’s buying my flowers for the boat?”

Juleka shook her head. “He’s been buying flowers, but I don’t think it was for the boat.” Marinette was confused until she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she was met by an embarrassed looking Luka holding a beautiful bouquet…of lily-of-the-valleys.

So that’s where those missing flowers went.

“Oh!” She smiled. “So Sabrina was holding those for you?”

Luka nodded. “I called her yesterday and asked for a favor.”

“They are a very good choice for today.” She hummed. “So are they for the boat too?”

It was hardly possible, but Luka’s face reddened more. Marinette found it absolutely adorable. “No, these are for you.”

Numbly, she accepted the bouquet. “For me?”

Taking a deep breath, he gave her his breathtaking smile that had the butterflies in her stomach doing the tango at double time. “For you.”

As he took her hand and brought it to his lips, Marinette could only think that she had indeed found the perfect man.

Lacing their fingers together, his eyes twinkled as he gave her that same smile that showed off his pearly whites. “So, I’m a Casanova, huh?”

Okay, maybe not.

Seven-round F1 Academy calendar confirmed including US Grand Prix finale | F1 Academy

Formula 1 has confirmed the calendar for the inaugural season of its new F1 Academy series for female drivers. The series has been set up by F1 to provide new opportunities for young and developing women drivers competing at junior single-seater levels or progressing out of karting into formula cars. Five established teams will participate in the championship: Carlin, Prema, ART, Campos and MP Motorsport. All five teams will run three cars each for the 15-car grid. Formula 1 announced this year’s inaugural season will comprise of 21 total races over seven rounds, beginning at the Red Bull Ring in late April until a season finale supporting the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas in October. In addition, there will be 15 days of testing across the season, with a two-day test before the season-opening race in Austria. Each round will consist of three races, with qualifying setting the order for races one and three and points for the first and final race following the F1 points structure with 25 points awarded for the winner. The second race will be a partially reversed-grid, with only 10 points awarded for the race winner and the top eight finishers taking points. F1 Academy general manager Bruno Michel said the calendar will allow the drivers to gain experience on many tracks Formula 1 races on. “Our goal was to be able to race on as many Formula 1 Grand Prix tracks as possible, with circuits that could be a great challenge for the drivers,” Michel said. “The teams know these layouts very well, so they will be able to help their young talents get to grips quickly. “We had announced that F1 Academy would be racing alongside Formula 1 at one event, so it’s fantastic to be part of the F1 grand prix package in Austin, where we will also conclude the first season, in front of the F1 paddock and the American crowd. There is quite a gap in between rounds six and seven, but that is mainly due to the fact that we will be sending the cars and equipment by ship, to save on logistical costs.” Drivers already confirmed to be participating in the first season of the series include former W Series drivers Nerea Marti and Bianca Bustamante, as well as Formula Regional European Championship driver Lena Buhler and GB4 racer Jessica Edgar. 2023 F1 Academy calendar Round Dates Circuit 1 28th-29th April Red Bull Ring, Austria 2 5th-7th May Valencia, Spain 3 19th-21st May Circuit de Catalunya, Spain 4 23rd-25th June Zandvoort, Netherlands 5 7th-9th July Monza, Italy 6 29th-30th July Paul Ricard, France 7 20th-22nd October Circuit of the Americas, USA Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free Other motorsport Browse all other motorsport articles via RaceFans - Independent Motorsport Coverage https://www.racefans.net/

The Quintessence of Adventure

Introduction:This is the car in the whole segment of 4x4 that needs no introduction When it comes to features and off road capabilities.This car is A Beast in itself when it comes to the offroad capabilities it can tackle off road obstacles with such ease that even most premium cars of this segment can’t.Moreover this car comes with some easter eggs such as the thar written on the conductor side on the steel plate along with car’s serial number and when it comes to the look of the car it looks like a Gangster’s Car.

Review : This car drives with much ease its pickup is such that you would be forced to hold the steering wheel of the car along with being thrown into the seat but at the same it’s brake pedal feel is missing but when brakes are applied it brakes dead into its track.The feel that you get while driving this car is so good it feels like you are the king of the road the sitting position is so commanding that you could even see the top of the fortuner.when it comes to the handling of the car this car is good but not the best in its segment due to its soft suspension it drives like butter on bad or off road but when it comes to high speed stability this car is not so stable but this car is easy to handle and manoeuvre in city but difficult to handle on high speed on or above 120kmph.the legroom in its back seat is close to very compact and also the bumps feels more on the backseats.This car packs a ton of features such as Anti-Lock Braking System, Brake Assist, Central Locking, Power Door Locks, Anti Theft Alarm, Tyre Pressure Monitor, Vehicle Stability Control System, Engine Immobilizer, along with hill descent, hill climb control and many more.This car comes with mahindra’s music system that has,Integrated 2DIN Audio,USB & Auxiliary input,Bluetooth Connectivity.The infotaiment system on thar is a touch screen(in limited variants).It does not offer us a great trunk space.The review mentioned above is for thar petrol automatic 4x4 top spec variant,it is completely based on my experience and the review mentioned above is solely my opinion.According to my driving style it gave a mileage of 7-10 in the city and out on highway it gave me 13 and it can give max upto 17. The mileage totally depends Upon our driving style.

Verdict:If you are looking for a car with great off road capability or a great 2 seater car in this price bracket then only you must consider this car or else there are many great options available from other companies and Mahindra itself.But as an off road car or a 2 seater car it is worth buying.It is even worth buying for its looks and features.

 Kode 0 (by Ken Okunaya). 

Before we talk about the car, we first have to talk about the man behind the car: Ken Okuyama. If that name sounds familiar, Okuyma is a career automotive design pro who spent much of his career at Pininfarina. He's credited in helping create vehicles like the original Acura NSX, Ferrari 599 GTB, Ferrari Enzo, Maserati Birdcage 75th Concept, and even the fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Yes, that Camaro. But in 2006, Ken Okuyama left Pininfarina. And after a quick stint starting his own eyewear collection (dubbed Ken Okuyama Eyes collection), he created his first self-titled concept car: the K.O 7 Spider. He debuted the slinky, open-top two-seater in Geneva in 2008, kickstarting a lineage of impressive concepts and one-offs, including the one pictured here.

The fixed-roof successor to the equally stunning Kode 57 Enji uses "dream car proportions" from classics like the the Lancia Stratos Zero in its design. Okuyama implemented a "one motion" technique to create the Kode0's svelte profile. But aggressive details like the edgy front splitter, sharp LED headlights, triangular-shaped exhaust, and 21-inch wheels embody a stark contrast to the otherwise streamlined silhouette.

Hiding under that sleek contour is a 6.5-liter V12 good for 690 horsepower (515 kilowatts) and 507 pound-feet (690 Newton-meters) of torque. With it, the Kode0 sprints to 62 miles per hour (0-100 kilometers per hour) in just 2.9 seconds. The Kode 0 also weighs in at just 3,417 pounds (1,550 kilograms), making it much lighter than the vehicle on which it's based (4,085 pounds / 1,852 kilograms).
