The Hindustan Contessa is an iconic Indian sedan, which is also referred to as the muscle car of India. It is known for its macho looks, and back in the 1980s, it became a sensation. Today, there are not many Contessas on the road, which makes it a special car in today’s day and age. Recently, we came across a unique Hindustan Contessa, which has been named the trampoline car. It has been created to mimic the jumping lowriders of America, which were very popular during the 1960s and 70s.

After seeing this, the vlogger then asks the owner, “How can this car jump like this?” To which the owner replied that the rear shock absorbers of this particular Contessa have been removed.
