Mahindra's new Born EV logo now sits prominently on the M7Electro
Speaking at the unveiling event, Asha Kharga said, "The new dynamic Mahindra wordmark reflects the sleeker, more tech-focused Mahindra of today. The new Born EV logo is electric-in-motion, it feels like a force of red and silver energy passed by at high-speed. It reflects our focus and commitment to the electric revolution. By sporting the new identity, the race team has become the first of Mahindra companies to have its assets adorned with the new brand identity elements."
The new M7Electro remains the same in design as last season's offering. However, the team is already working on the Gen3 cars that are set to arrive from Season 9 onwards. Season 8, meanwhile, will see Mahindra begin a new phase of the team's partnership with Shell, as it extends its partnership with the team on a multi-year basis. The team has also extended its partnership with luxury Swiss watchmaker Maurice Lacroix, which continues as Official Timekeeper.
