Bollywood Actor Sanjay Dutt Spotted In Modified Willys Jeep
When it comes to the most badass actor from Bollywood, the name of “Munna Bhai MBBS” star Sanjay Dutt comes on top. Also known as “Sanju Baba,” Sanjay Dutt is known for his powerful aura, blunt speech, and humble heart. Recently, Sanjay Dutt was seen showing off how cool he is as he was spotted on the front passenger seat of an open-top Willys Jeep.
The video showing Sanjay Dutt in a Mahindra Jeep has been shared on Instagram by Instant Bollywood on their page. In this short, Sanjay Dutt can be seen sitting on the front passenger seat of a Willys Jeep. This particular Jeep has been fully modified, as it does not have a roof and has been fitted with massive mud-terrain tyres and custom emblems on the front. There were a few other men standing in the rear of this Jeep as well.
As mentioned, the vehicle seen in the video is a Willys Jeep. This particular SUV was the one which pushed Mahindra and Mahindra Automotive towards success. Back in the 1950s, after independence, the Mahindra brothers, J.C. Mahindra and K.C. Mahindra, secured a license from Willys-Overland Corporation to assemble Willys Jeeps in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1947.
The first units were imported as Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits and assembled at their Mazagon plant starting in 1949, following which Mahindra continued to produce various iterations of the Jeep CJ series for decades in India, and they adapted them to fit the local needs of Indian buyers. Today, a number of old examples are being restored and modified to make them look unique.
Willys Jeeps are known for their off-road capabilities. They boast a short wheelbase, high ground clearance, and are very lightweight. Also, their body-on-frame construction makes them exceptionally agile. They also came equipped with part-time 4WD, a two-speed transfer case, particularly Spicer Dana 18, solid axles, and lead springs.
Although today Sanjay Dutt does not himself own a Willys Jeep, he is still an automotive enthusiast and owns several other luxury cars. Recently, he bought himself a brand-new Rs 3.4 crore Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. He has bought one finished in the classy shade of Obsidian Black. This luxury SUV comes equipped with lounge-like rear seats with ventilation, massaging, and reclining functions.
It also gets classy ambient lighting, a refrigerator, wood and premium metal trims, and complete leather upholstery. Powering the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is a 4.0-liter V8 engine mated to a 48V mild-hybrid system. It delivers 557 PS and 730 Nm. 250 Nm of this comes from the mild-hybrid setup alone. A 9-speed automatic transmission does duty on the SUV.
Apart from the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, Sanjay Dutt also owns several other high-end cars, including a Mercedes-Maybach S580, Rolls-Royce Ghost Series I, Land Rover Defender, previous-generation Range Rover, and many others.
One of the main highlights of his collection is a Ferrari 599 GTB. This supercar is finished in the signature shade of Rosso Corsa, which is also called Ferrari red. It comes powered by a massive 6.0-liter V12, which makes 612 bhp and 607 Nm of torque. The Ferrari 599 GTB can go from 0–100 in just 3.7 seconds.
