In a jaw-dropping moment for the Indian auto industry, Mahindra’s BE 6 Batman Edition has etched its name in history. The electric SUV, designed in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery and inspired by Gotham’s Dark Knight, sold out 999 units in only 135 seconds. Bookings opened on August 23, 2025, and within a little over two minutes, every single unit was gone proving once again that exclusivity and emotion can drive extraordinary demand.
The Batman Connection That Fans Couldn’t Resist
What makes this launch so iconic is not just the performance of the SUV, but the story it carries. This isn’t an ordinary EV it’s the world’s first officially licensed Batman-themed electric SUV. Cloaked in satin black with gold accents, the BE 6 Batman Edition carries the aura of Gotham everywhere it goes. From unique Batman emblems and 20-inch alloy wheels to striking design details like custom puddle lamps and “BE 6 × The Dark Knight” badges, every inch of the SUV celebrates the Caped Crusader.
A Cabin That Feels Straight Out of Gotham
Step inside, and the magic continues. The cabin is draped in premium black upholstery with gold sepia stitching, and each unit carries a numbered Batman Edition plaque on the dashboard making every car a collectible. Subtle ambient lighting inspired by Gotham, a Dark Knight-themed welcome animation, and even a special Bat-logo “Boost” button create an experience that feels less like a drive and more like stepping into a superhero’s command center.
Power and Range That Match Its Style
But this SUV is not just about design. Underneath its bold exterior lies a powerful 79 kWh battery producing 286 horsepower and 380 Nm torque. With an ARAI-certified range of 682 km on a single charge, the BE 6 Batman Edition is as practical as it is exclusive. It delivers performance worthy of Batman himself while offering long-range efficiency for everyday driving.
From 300 to 999 Units Still Gone in Minutes
Interestingly, Mahindra initially planned to sell only 300 units of this special edition. However, after seeing the overwhelming response from fans and collectors, the company expanded the allocation to 999 units. Buyers even had the option of choosing their unique number from 001 to 999 adding another layer of personalization. Yet, even with this increased availability, the demand was so fierce that the entire lot vanished in a matter of seconds.
Deliveries Timed with Batman Day
Adding to the excitement, Mahindra announced that deliveries will begin on September 20, 2025, which is celebrated worldwide as International Batman Day. For fans, this isn’t just a car it’s a celebration of fandom, design, and technology, all rolled into one memorable date.
Why This Launch Will Be Remembered
The success of the Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition is more than just numbers. It represents the power of storytelling in automotive design, the strength of India’s EV innovation, and the passion of fans who see cars as more than just machines. Selling 999 cars in 135 seconds is a headline that will be remembered not only in India but across the global auto industry.
