Driving the “Bujji” car from the movie Kalki 2898 AD at the CoASTT track in Coimbatore was a unique experience. This huge, futuristic vehicle is over six meters long and powered by electric motors producing 128hp and a massive 9,800Nm of torque. Built by Mahindra & Mahindra’s product development team and Jayem Automotives, Bujji is designed to look like it’s made from scrap metal, perfect for a post-apocalyptic world.

Bujji’s standout features include two hub-less front wheels, a versatile rear wheel, and an all-glass canopy. Despite its 6-ton weight, Bujji moves quickly and smoothly thanks to its powerful electric motors and advanced suspension. The 47kWh battery pack powers the car and is located in the rear.

Driving Bujji was like controlling a spaceship. The unique foldable steering wheel makes getting in and out easy, and its handling is surprisingly agile for such a large vehicle. Originally meant to be used in the film, the real Bujji car took two years to build and is now used for promotions.

Even though the movie uses CGI for some scenes, the real Bujji car is a testament to innovative engineering and creative design. As we look forward to the release of Kalki 2898 AD, Bujji already gives us a glimpse into what future cars might look like.
