Indian Air Force has reportedly deployed a fresh batch of specially finished Mahindra Scorpio Classic SUVs to its fleet, and they could easily be among the most striking-looking official Scorpios seen in India so far. These cars are finished in a unique shade of Air Force Blue. These Scorpio Classic S11 SUVs were recently spotted on public roads in Delhi.A video of the SUVs has surfaced online, showing around five to six Scorpio Classics travelling together. While the Scorpio has long been used by Indian armed forces and police departments across the country, these Air Force-spec models look different because Mahindra does not offer this blue shade on the regular civilian version. The Scorpio has built a strong reputation within Indian defence and government fleets over the years. Its ladder-frame construction, high ground clearance and proven diesel engine have made it a preferred choice for on-ground duties in many parts of the country. Interestingly, these newly inducted Air Force SUVs appear to be mostly standard rear-wheel-drive Scorpio Classic S11 models. The interiors seen in the video remain largely unchanged from the standard civilian model.
