Force Motors has launched the Gurkha in a new
‘Xtreme’ grade, for a price of INR 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The
range-topper sports a more powerful engine and a new transfer case.
The Force Gurkha Xtreme employs the Mercedes-Benz OM
611 derived 2.2-litre diesel engine that produces 140 bhp and 321 Nm of torque.
The transmission is a 5-speed unit derived from the Mercedes-Benz G-32. For
better off-roading, the Xtreme grade comes with a new low-range transfer case
and a new live rigid front axle.
