12 famous Porsche owners of India: From Hrithik Roshan to Sachin Tendulkar

Buying a Porsche is one of those few car-buying decisions which are appealable to both hearts and minds. With a great combination of form and function, all Porsche cars, and now even SUVs, are the top picks of car lovers who admire the pleasure of driving. Here are some of the prominent Indian celebrities who have shown their admiration for Porsches by buying one from the desirable lineup on offer.

Hrithik Roshan

Often referred to as “Indian Greek God” for his handsome personality, Hrithik Roshan is one of the first people from the film fraternity to get a Porsche Cayenne, which looks as good as him. The blue-coloured first-generation Porsche Cayenne owned by Hrithik is the base model of the SUV, which used to come with a 3.2-litre six-cylinder 250 PS petrol engine from the Volkswagen family.

Farhan Akhtar

One of the most prolific and multi-talented artists in Bollywood, film director Farhan Akhtar has a silver-coloured Porsche Cayman GTS, which is easily the coolest looking car in his collection.

Sachin Tendulkar

Moving now to the Indian cricketers owning Porsches, the latest of the Porsche buyers among them is the god of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar.

This sporty SUV has a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which produces 550 bhp. He owns a 911 Turbo S and a few others as well.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Another cricketer who owns a new-generation Porsche Cayenne is Yuzvendra Chahal, one of the most noteworthy leg spinners of recent times.

The Porche Cayenne S bought by Chahal is powered by a 3.6-litre V6 engine, which makes 440 bhp of power.

Kapil Dev roams around in quite a few cars when he travels for work or for socialising. His most expensive vehicle is the Porsche Panamera, which is a four-door luxury saloon.
