Dilip Chhabria’s renowned design studio, DC Design, will showcase the DC2 Mercury, a reimagined version of the iconic Humvee, at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. Known for its innovative automotive customizations and as the creator of India’s first homegrown sports car, the DC Avanti, the design house is set to bring its unique styling expertise to one of the most rugged vehicles ever made.
The teaser image hints at a sleeker, more aerodynamic version of the standard Humvee, featuring sharper creases on the body and bonnet, along with an overall more modern design. Despite the aesthetic changes, the vehicle is expected to retain its original mechanical specifications, including the powerful 6.5-litre V8 diesel engine, automatic transmission, and 4×4 drivetrain. Additional details will be unveiled on January 17 at Hall 11 of the Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.
