We recently bowed down to “Lord Alto”, the hatchback that conquered Shinkula Top where mighty SUVs feared to tread. (Read More: Lord Alto vs. Physics)
But just when we thought we had seen the peak of Indian engineering resilience, a new challenger has entered the arena. Ladies and gentlemen, meet “Lord Auto.”
Who Needs a 4×4 When You Have a “3×3”?
Watch: Lord Auto puts 4x4s to shame in Manali.
A viral video from the snow-clad streets of Manali, Himachal Pradesh, shows a humble three-wheeler auto-rickshaw navigating deep snow with the grace of a figure skater.
While tourists in expensive 4×4 SUVs often spin their wheels and slide helplessly on black ice, this auto driver glides through. No snow chains, no traction control, no “terrain response modes”—just pure skill and physics.
The Physics: Why Does This Work?
Internet trolls are having a field day roasting 4×4 owners, but there is actual physics at play here:
- Rear Engine Layout: Like a Porsche 911, an auto-rickshaw has its engine in the back, directly over the driving wheels. This provides immense traction.
- Pizza Cutter Tires: The thin tires of an auto act like blades, cutting through the snow to find the tarmac below, whereas wide SUV tires often “float” on top of the slush.
- Lightweight: If it gets stuck, you don’t need a winch. You just need two people to give it a nudge.
The Internet Verdict
The comment section is unanimous:
“Lord Alto: 2/4 wheels driven.
Lord Auto: 1/3 wheels driven.
4×4 Owners: EMI pending, ego hurting.”🛍Recommended Product
