Monella on vielä se AUTO hakusessa ja eivät uskalla myöntää sitä.


Autohan on ollut esim. PetteriKivimäki ja Leka:n tiedossa pitkään
mutta auto ei ole saanut isommin huomiota vaikka "mersu" onkin tavallaan.
Nimiä autolle kyllä löytyy Bajaj/Tempo/Force Trax....

Aloitetaan varovasti kuvalla pommin varmasta moottorista.
Paljon kaivattu/unelmoitu OM616 Turbodiesel.

Autoa on tuotu/tuodaan saksaan mutta myynti määristä ei ole tietoa.
Haku päälle niin eiköhän sieltä ainakin yks suomeen löydy.

Ajo ominaisuukset ovat erittäin hyvät huonoillakin teillä.

Eli tämmönen.

Jonkin verran lisätietoa englaniksi.
Bajaj Tempo is a company whose roots and ties with MB go back from the 60s and they have been manufacturing the Tempo Traveller as well the the OM 616/617 engines. They also manufacture the trannies used in C class diesel.
The body not only resembles the G but is exactly made in the same process as the G. The engine is turbo charged OM-616 and the turbo work has been done by MB using OM 617 cooling pistons, valves, oil pump, oil cooler and the crank has been nitrided. Additional cooling capacity comes from bigger fan, radiator, OM 617 water pump and 70C thermostat.
All this package was good enough to impress the German sceptics and German 4x4 magazine gave it a huge thumbs up which is no mean feat and till today 150 Gurkhas make it to Germany from India every month.
FYI, Gurkha was and never will be designed for the pauper Indian army, their budget is a meagre Rs. 280,000 per vehicle plus kickbacks, Gurkha with imported German made components cross the Rs.500,000 scale and therefore even though it was demoed to Indian army, it was made for export to Germany and rest of Europe as a true 4WD utility vehicle which was marketed for farmers who needed a true off roader minus frills. It was the brainchild of Dr. Bacher who was on board of Bajaj Tempo via Tempo Mercedes Benz. In 87 it was and still remains the only Indian made vehicle to meet and get tough German TUV. Best of all German off road mag tested it and gave it the title of Haarter Im Buschtaxi and called it a toughest off roader ever to be tested. The Safari and Mahindra vehicles all have clearance of less than 200mm compared to Gurkha's whopping 238mm which makes even the TLC look small makes it the only contender for off roading along the likes of TLC FJ, Nissan Patrol LR Defender, JEEP Rubicon and G Wagen.
