While the official launch and price details of Thar 2020 will take place on October 2, the SUV is getting a whole lot of traction in the Indian car market. As such, the exclusive Thar #1 is also getting a lot of spotlight. "The battle is on. The bids are coming in fast & furious. It’s fantastic to see the passion for this car and for giving to a good cause," wrote Anand Mahindra on his micro-blogging account. "What a pleasure it will be to recognise the winning bidder & thank her/him personally."

While the auction is for a noble cause and Anand Mahindra will himself meet the eventual winner, the SUV itself will be one-of-a-kind. Mahindra informed that the first unit of Thar 2020 will come with a special badge that highlights its uniqueness. Additionally, the owner's initials will be featured in a customized badge and the vehicle will carry number '1' on the dashboard and leatherette seats.
