All new monocoque S101 to come next year. 

The Mahindra S101 (codename) was spotted on test once again in Chennai, by 'Deceptron', a forum member of The Automotive India. The prototype seen here reveals the sharply-cut shape of its taillight cluster, though the circular bulbs located would change on the production model.
