Indians representing! The car that he bashes up is called the Ambassador, built by Hindustan motors. It's based on an old Morris car from the 40s or 50s, and built solely in India for Indians. It's intriguing history comes from the fact that the body shape hasn't changed from its original design for over 50 years. Sure, they tweak the exterior lights every once in a while, and they finally added bench seats as an option about 4-5 years ago, but otherwise it's the same car as from back then. The top of the line car makes a whopping 80 HP, which isn't that useful in India because people and cows and dogs and stuff inhabit the roads with the cars (even seen in that ad). In India, if you're going 90 KPH on a highway, you are hauling ***.
