PD has got gem host ! Excellent personal story !
It was very emotional and "from the bottom of heart". In fact my Father remembered the 1980s international rally happened in India, he always admired Premier vehicles.

Mahindra is slowly becoming the suv king . Thar is an awesome offroader and now xuv 700 is also an awesome suv.
And U forgot to mention XUV300 bro...the safest car to compete with world class
building a super suv brand 💯
I wish I could meet your father man. Listen to the story of his life over a campfire. ♥️
You just did.
We all just did brother ❤️.
My grandmother had Commander... Listening to your father's story was flashback for me, I was there in 2009 with my grandparents... It was a nice day ;) you know what I mean
Cyrus you are the best addition to PD family . Thanks
I agree
@@rohanalbal3158 Yes Sir 💯
I think Indian army is greatful to the team Mahindra & ur father too❤️🔥. We luv u Thar Woohoo ❤️🔥
Cyrus is just amazing. Now, we know how he's one of the best drivers in PowerDrift.
Need for power is in the blood!!
The first Thar i ever sat in was one of the Indian Air Force, and went top a hill with more than 30 degree gradient. What a beast this thing is.
There is content for a movie, kudos.
Ayyy💕💕

Wow, fantastic history. Great Job by Cyrus. I am getting nostalgic now. I am proud of being a witness to this history. At 13:11, it was me driving the V with tyre in the air, and Cyrus shot the pic using my camera. :-)
Cyrus, your dad is the reason my best memories of life. He is a legend!!! Have a '53 willy's. But craved a daily driver off roader. Drove a friend's thar in hyderabad in 2013. Came back to Chennai on a Sunday. Booked the thar on a Monday.
Every adventure memory that followed was thar certified. It something only a true blooded off roader will understand. We all owe your dad 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for mentioning TeamBHP. Hats off to your Dad, indeed a Legend.
I had the privilege of owning the first thar in Kolkata after it was launched in 2010. I still remember Behram sirs posts in Team Bhp. I had just cleared one of the toughest screening processes to get a Tbhp membership . (yes it was that tough in 2010 , was rejected 4 times). Bought the gen 1 thar at 6 lakhs ,and sold it after 9 years of use for 2 and half lakhs. I booked the 2020 thar in the first 5 minutes of the opening of bookings. Your father is a legend and we all thank him for what he has done. He will live forever through all the future generations of the Thar. Thankyou.
WOW!!!! That was a huge. Really loved the inside story. @Cyrus you are one lucky fellow, to be part of this legend. Speaking of legend, I used to follow the Team Bhp forum, where Behramji would personally reply to the members query. He is Father of the legend.
I've had the opportunity to drive the MM 540 and MG 310 in all sorts of terrain. Be it mud, flood, the Thar or the highway, the MM could beat MG 310 hands down any day. I've bashed the dunes where no MG could think of going. Once in 2010, I got stuck in more than knee deep mud and water, with 6 people onboard ... 4L and little to and fro ..... we are out. I used to love the MM 540. Alas, we couldn't maintain the rotary pump, hence the MM540 was phased out in around 2008-09, and slowly those still in service were eventually auctioned out as scrap.
Now, eagerly waiting for the 5-door thar. Need to upgrade my age old sedan. ;)
Great video Team Power Drift. This is the first time I'm commenting on your videos. You guys always have great review. Your RE Thunderbrid review where you scrap the foot peg in a turn, was day I started and till date, I never miss your videos.
Keep it Up guys. CHEERS!!!
Thank you for tuning in Junaid! We hope we can continue having you here regularly! ☺️🙏🏻
@@CyrusDhabhar Sure, no doubt about it .... till I'm in a area with mobile signal and good data speed. ;)
In 2013 I got to read Behram Sirs thread on TBHP. I was swept away with the 521 stories . It took me 8 years after that I could go and get my hands on one. I bought a pre owned 2017 thar very recently. It's the best video to come out of power drift in a long time. God bless you man. Hope we meet someday and talk more about this. ❤️
So much pleased to here the story of a great legender with it's legender vehicle...Mr Cyrus a salute to your father & his contribution to the automotive industry and for his innovation..🙏🙏
Hi Cyrus, very informative video had one question, so now if Mahindra knows that there is a huge fan and consumer base for thar then why does it still have a one year waiting period ? Can't they like ramp up the production ?? Looking forward to your inputs thanks
Several reasons actually. Mainly chip shortage and just that factories are still not running at full steam
Thanks @Cyrus Dhabhar as you guys work closely with the automotive industry any update on when can the things normalize? Thanks
@@thesuperuser8328 should be very soon. I think going into 2022 we should see normality resume. ESP once everyone is vaccinated
@@CyrusDhabhar also I think Mahendra is going to start another plant just for the thar!
Wow😍 What a story🔥 And you got to witness it all❤️. . . I wonder who would have done that oil thingy, spineless bugger. . .😡 More such stories please😍
After watching this video, My Respect towards THAR and Cyrus has become x100 .
This story is a tribute to your dad. Great job Cyrus. I was privileged to work with him in BAJA...
Hey Cyrus, I distinctly remember your mentioning of the special relation that you have with the Thar on "the other TH-cam channel" and since then I have been waiting to listen to the story.
Thank you Powerdrift for bringing him in. 😌❤️
Hey Cyrus!! Had the privilege of interacting with BD Sir long time back on TBHP. An encyclopedia of knowledge yet soft spoken & down to earth!!
Noone would have told the story the way you have!! Thanks a ton man!!!
The moment MH01V521 crushed the first obstacle, goosebumps man. What a story! I wish I could hear this story in person, sitting around a bonfire in a jungle resort, after some serious off-roading in a Thar.
Always remember Behram sir from team bhp. I'm not a member but I followed his stories. He is truly the father of the modern day Thar.
I wish I turn out to be a father like you had Cyrus Sir, or even better. What a Man, What a Story ❤️🥲
The way Cyrus was showing every aspect of his experience of his family with Mahindra and Thar was so personal that every aspect in this video was meant a lot for him.
He's a great addition to Powerdrift. Cheers PD Army.
Your dad is a Legend bough the revolution in jeep and you had the best trips with dad on and off road we will love to see more long video on this jeep MH 01 V 521
Good to hear that great hardship of people behind Thar !!! Great product comes from great hardships of passionate people 👍👍👍👌👌👌
Glad to see you on @powerdrift buddy. The culture is made for you. Awesome reviews.. great stuff..keep driving 👍
Ur father is tourch bearer... Huge respect.. Excellent vlog bro... Cheers 👌👍
Behram sir is legend and I am lucky to have him in my first Thar on driver seat for a ride. Also have heard this whole story of Thar development, getting ARAI approvals etc. Definitely he will be smiling while looking at how the Thar is evolving however his favorite Thar was exact 540 body with Black color and beige soft top. :)
Behram Dhabar Sir was a mentor for all of us in Teambhp. Be it issues with our Thar or anything dealing with mechanical in other cars. A simple, approachable and down to earth automotive genius.
Cyrus, undoubtedly, is a very apt addition to the PowerDrift family.
One can just look at his face in the entire video and tell that.. such excitement, such eagerness, such passion. That is exactly how we portray PowerDrift.
We are grateful that people like your Father existed among us. His story would inspire a lot of youngsters including myself, to never stop chasing our dreams! I'm sure you'd have goosebumps narrating the story. It's nothing less than a privilege that we will want: to be a part of a legendary story like this. Thank you PowerDrift for letting him do this.
Keep Growing team PowerDrift and never stop! 🔥
I was fortunate to interact with him on team-bhp. And he said the previous Thar (pre-2015 facelift) was the one to keep as a keeper! It was, and still is, I think the pure form of what was envisioned by him.
Salute to all those behind this epic vehicle.. and thank you Cyrus for coming up with this story … inspiring 😊
I remember Mr. Dhabhar coming to our college when we took part in the SAE Baja Challenge back in 2009. He was our guide for the project and one thing he said still stays with me. "Keep it simple, make it work and test, test and test. Make sure your race car has been tested and ready so that all you have to do is connect the battery and drive away to victory".
Can we have a Shumi Vs Cyrus in a signal to signal drag race.. bike vs car??? their banter will be TH-cam gold
I am hoping for a movie based on THAR...Its just so interesting story.. just like ford v ferrari movie...
nothing ike a Thar Crde, a proud owner. Cheers
Thanks for bringing this piece to us. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the story behind the conceptualization and making of the Thar. Two thumbs up to the memory of BD Sir and the millions of smiles that he's brought to us :- ) 👍🏼👍🏼
followed the AKC and the entire Thar thread back then... what a nice narration of that exciting story
I am from Nashik, who know Thar & Mahindra better :D Thar is Love
Cyrus dikra, thank you so so much for sharing the Thar enchiridion with us drifters. This is brilliant content and reason number 1 million &1 why I am a Power Drifter. Keep em comin
Dude this is some automotive movie.... Stuff..... Can someone make it please
Behran sir was your dad? that's news. He would answer my queries on team-bhp about the thar . nice storytelling man
Thanks a ton Cyrus for such wonderful story behind the birth of Legend. The legend was reborn under the legendary vision of ur father. It is the best way u have given a tribute to late Dhabur sir.
I had learned a lot under ur father in Thar project since 2009 from Italy launch till he was part of M&M.
He used to share the story about his passion and his next goal. He had aimed to launch THAR CRDe with 80 inch wheel base. Which was not came in existence due to inertia class regulation.
He always used to call himself mad because he see the dreams and chase the way other cannot dare to.
RIP 🙏 mr. thar
I always thought Cyrus will do this and tell the awesome stories when new thar got launched ... But nevertheless here it is ... The story of thar ... The story of MAN AND MACHINE ... THE STORY OF LEGENDARY Berham Dhabar Sir ..... I know you are blessings all the Thars from The Automotive Heaven. ....
Inception level storytelling, even the dog 🐕 was listening intently.
Cheers Blud
Joy 🙏
My dad's first car Mahindra JEEP a 27 years old still in working condition kept in our factory parking
We all cousin learnt to drive on our jeep ❤️
The godfather of JEEP ❤️
I feel that the Thar CRDe /Di had more character, charm, aura, emotions, memories and a rugged Jeep dna.
Unlike the new Thar.
Sad to see it discontinued.
Salute to Mahindra on this ID day, definitely a vehicle manufacturer who helped shape the course of our country, one small rev at a time 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Now you know why he is soo good in Signal to Signal...
(Sometimes a whole SEC...
The guy got SKILLZZZZ...)
Should have added some personal videos to showcase the ability of the OG Thar. Awesome story, seriously captivating. 🤟
Wow, You are quite Special. Living With THe THAR Himself, ...... I Thought you are to be an Ordinary Automotive Journalist Like Rohan, but you are Not
A story so good that PD editors had to mute the background track. Loved it Cyrus
The only regret I would always carry would be, never meeting the legendary BD sir. Good going Cyrus, now waiting for your XUV 700 review video.
finally a journo acknowledged teambhp. Sensei Behram Dhabar the OG distinguished BHPian. please make a movie on this story....
Hi Cyrus, thanks for sharing the stories. I had a pleasure to meet your dad in person and heard few of these stories from him. Had never seen someone with so much passion and enthusiasm for automotives. 521 was his favourite subject and he could go on and on with its stories... He will always be missed...
You are amazing ambassador of Mahindra Thar. Now I am thinking, I should have one.
This is the content we need! All Love and Respect #PD!
It was full of compassion buddy. The story touched. At some point I am confused which car to go for, Tata Harrier or Mahindra Thar. At times I am inclined towards Harrier and at times to Thar.
Test drives! That oughta clear your doubts.
Or wait some time and take a test drive of xuv700 awd
Fantastic 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
What a story, what a history ...awesome....I will share this story to all my folks
What a fascinating story! Thank you for sharing it with us in a way no one else could have.
Interesting story from Cyrus. 👍
Absolutely! ❤️
What an amazing narrative! Loved your father's zeal - truly inspiring!
Question - What are the top 3 changes/upgrades you'd want to see in the next variant of Thar (over the 2020 model)?
Best 15 mins of August 2021 for me.
Excellent Thar encyclopedia! Great to know 👍
love the narration love the story your dad is going to be very proud of you.
Excellent content shown with true emotions right out of heart. I am a great fan of tough agrarian vehicles. My father owned a Trax back in the late nineties and I currently own a Scorpio sz+ 2.6 which is in a lot of way similar to thar.
Lots of respect to you for bringing up this story to all and slowly I am tending towards Mahindra
That MH01V521 Vehicle we are still using here at kandivali R&D department 👍
Wow ♥️
.
Offtopic question.
About that ponytail, How did it go ? 😜
Best of the best Dad is Dad feels proud
Nice, Cyrus joins PowerDrift
Cyrus we want a documentary movie on this, Can we?
Oh man, that would be the dream.
Please tell us about Mahindra Legend. Very little is known or written about it. Was it "the Thar" before Thar?
Amazing video Cyrus! Made me revisit at my 2010 great escape pictures with Gogi bhai and Tejas and the 668 was the chief guest with BD sir at the wheel.
Thank you Cyrus...as Thar owner this story felt like stuff of dreams!! So well narrated...I wish I could listen to an even more detailed version! 😄
Btw whats the story behind the name "THAR"? If u could throw some light on that!
Jeeps from Mahindra and Mahindra always have a special place in the heart ever since they came into action.They are just marvelous when taken for action. My family too using a 4x4 from 2001 my first car that I loved most ❤️. They are good for the purpose want they ment to be and the mass looks 🎉🥳😎, just love it.
Hi Cyrus, awesome narration...you are lucky to have associated so closely with the successful journey of Thar.
Mahindra should launch 5-seats, 4-door model of Thar that would still be the best bet for offroads and yet capable for family outings...what say?
Dude, u sounded quite emotional toward end of video, making me rather forcing me to state, u r totally involved in memories n making of this video simultaneously, u did really great job to let we all THAR Lovers about 'born & brought up of LEGENDARY THAR, thank you very much😇
Sir when can we expect 5 door variant of Thar💯.. Can't wait enough
Great to hear about it, maybe you should also write a book about it too.
Please make a review of mahindra xuv700
That's coming up soon! Do turn on the notifications so you don't miss out!
👑 Cyrus you dropped this while off-roading in the mighty thar.
There was another varient called THAR WANDERLUST! It was a modified version of standard Thar given by the company itself! But it costs additional of 13 lakhs. So people didn't went for it!
What a great story and a big thumps up to the man behind the Thar
I have shared this out to everyone countless times; big part of my rational to buy the first gen Thar was Mr. Behram Dhabhar, used it as my daily driver for three years along with a family with two kids, took it on trails and it had a set of Hellas in front :-)
I didn't know his dad was dhabhar , and he saying the budget was much less than 5 crores frightens me ,at what budget was the car made , double crust pizza??
I wish we(old school car lovers) could able to meet with your father....
More of these automotive hero stories please pd💯
Your father has made history which always make us to dream to have one THAR
The conviction of building this car is incredibly high 😎
Good to hear the story again, this time from you Cyrus!
For someone who had been closely associated with the first gen Thar, I can very confidently say, without an iota of doubt, the Thar Project would have been scrapped and never seen the light of day, except for the efforts of one man - Sir Behram Dhabhar. Every single word that he said back then, has come true.
I'm sure he will be watching all this from above and grinning in his typical style.
Thanks for this video ✌🏼. I’m actually planning for a THAR but I still like the previous generations, which model you would suggest me!!!
Now I understand Why Cyrus is soooo good at Drag Races!!!! Car Launches!
Hmm. That Dachshund certainly is a distraction. 😄. Nice narrative.
