Tata Curvv : Tata Motors has achieved another jaw-dropping milestone with its Curvv SUV-coupe. The latest stunt saw the Tata Curvv Hyperion 1.2L GDI turbo-petrol effortlessly pulling a 48,000 kg Boeing 737 aircraft for a distance of 100 meters. This remarkable feat was officially recognized by the India Book of Records, solidifying Tata’s position as a leader in engineering innovation and vehicle strength.
Tata Curvv Pulls Boeing 737 Weighing 48,000 Kgs – New Record!
Breaking Barriers: The Power Behind the Feat
The Tata Curvv used in this stunt was equipped with:
- 1.2L TGDi turbo-petrol engine producing 125 PS power and 225 Nm torque
- 6-speed manual transmission for optimal control
- Monocoque ATLAS platform ensuring superior chassis integrity
Despite having a relatively small 1.2L engine, the Curvv displayed exceptional pulling power and durability, proving that Tata’s engineering goes beyond conventional expectations.
How Was the Stunt Performed?
The stunt took place at AIESL Hangar, Thiruvananthapuram, where Tata Motors secured a custom towing jig to the Curvv’s mainframe. This setup allowed the SUV to generate the necessary force to move the massive Boeing 737 across the tarmac.
Tata’s Legacy of Record-Breaking Feats
This isn’t Tata’s first time pulling an aircraft. Back in 2017, the Tata Hexa performed a similar stunt by pulling a Boeing 737-800. However, unlike the Hexa, which had a 2.2L turbo-diesel engine with 400 Nm torque, the Curvv’s achievement is even more impressive given its monocoque chassis and a smaller 1.2L engine.
