Only Indian Actress To Own A Dodge Challenger Muscle Car (Video)
When we think of an American muscle car, we assume that it most likely is owned by a buff, rich guy. However, this particular Dodge Challenger sports car is owned by an Indian actress. What's even more unique is that this actress is the only Indian actress to own a muscle car, and she is also a race and drift car driver as well. Her name is Nivetha Pethuraj, and recently, a video of her giving a vlogger a ride in her Dodge Challenger has gone viral online.
This video showing Nivetha Pethuraj driving her muscle car has been shared on Instagram by Rohan Robert. It starts off with the influencer mentioning that he was just passing by, but then noticed an Indian actress in Dubai driving a muscle car. He then shows a Dodge Challenger S/T coming towards him, and it can be seen that the Indian actress Nivetha Pethuraj was behind the steering wheel of this vehicle.
For those who may not be aware, she is a super popular Tamil and Telugu movie actress who has been a part of hit movies like Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and many others. Soon after this, the vlogger greets the actress and asks her about the year she purchased this Dodge Challenger. To this, she replies that she bought it back in 2014.
Following this, the influencer highlights the fact that Nivetha Pethuraj was the second woman in Dubai to buy a Dodge Challenger muscle car. He then asks her to give him a ride in her Challenger, and she obliges. The actress then starts driving the car and accelerates when the creator asks her if she is a fast driver or a slow driver.
As if owning a Dodge Challenger was not cool enough, the actress is also known for her passion for racing and drifting. The actress has completed Level 1 of the Formula Race Car training program, and she was also qualified as a Formula 1 racing driver in 2021. She is also a certified Level 2 Formula racer by FMSCI (Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India).
She recently shared a post on Instagram in which she was seen drifting alongside a number of other professional drift racers. In the video, she mentions that she loves simple things in life, following which she starts sliding and drifting her completely custom-built drift race car on the track.
From the video, it can be noted that the actress owns a Dodge Challenger S/T muscle car. This American sports car comes powered by a 3.6-litre V6 engine, which is capable of producing 305 bhp and 364 Nm of torque. All of this power is sent to the rear wheels, which makes this car difficult yet fun to drive.
