High-speed coffin for (late) rajahs who had had an interest in kart racing. The deceased would be placed into the decorated coffin, the engines started, a clutch released and the whole shebang would hurtle into the distance. With luck it would end up in a sacred river, upon which it would burst into flames (as any good funeral pyre should) and float for a reasonable time before sinking to the bottom of the river. There was no provision for a widow on this particular unit, but some were made with a driving position for the widow, but with no steering of course, it wouldn't do for her have any control. The hapless woman would be strapped in so she could, in Hindu tradition, accompany her late husband to his watery grave.
Originally made by Rampasad Harivai Industries, but now, of course, manufactured by Tata, using some Jaguar parts. Pyrotechnics by Liuyang Bargain Bangs of Shanghai, motto: 'We Provide More Bang for Your Yuan'.
