Billionaire Yohan Poonawalla arrives in his private helicopter: Flaunts exotic cars worth over 100 crore

Billionaire Yohan Poonawalla is known to have one of the most expensive supercar garages in India. He took the opportunity during “2022 The Valley Run” to show off his car collection which is easily worth Rs 100 crore at a minimum. Yohan Poonawalla, who loves to put his initials “YZP” on cars arrived in style in an Augusta Westland Leonardo helicopter just to show off his car collection.

The video shows Yohan Poonawalla landing on the airstrip in the helicopter while his entourage drives in the exotic and super expensive cars and brings them to him. The first car to arrive there is the Bentley Bentayga followed by the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. We can also spot other cars like the Ferraris and the Land Rovers in the video.

YZP then gets into the Ferrari 488 Pista and drives around while his entourage follows him around. It looks like YZP recently added the Bentayga in Sunburst Orange shade to his garage. This is the facelifted version but we are not sure if it is powered by the W12 engine or the V8 engine.

Ferraris of YZP

We could see YZP’s tresured Ferraris in the video. The Ferraris are the Ferrari 458 Aperta, Ferrari 488 Aperta, Ferrari Portofino and F12 Berlinetta. The Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta is a rare and exclusive car, with only 499 units produced worldwide. Yohan Poonawalla has been frequently seen driving this supercar and even participated in the Ferrari’s 70th anniversary drive in Mumbai with this limited edition vehicle. Poonawalla is the sole owner of the Aperta in India and the car features a special “P” logo from the factory. The interior of the car is marked with the “Limited Edition” moniker, bearing the name “Zayan Poonawalla”.

The Berlinetta’s unique shape and front engine placement draw a lot of attention. It is equipped with a 6.3-liter V12 naturally aspirated petrol engine that generates a maximum power of 730 Bhp and peak torque of 690 Nm. It comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and has an ex-showroom price of around Rs 4.71 crore.

It is unclear what customisation options have been chosen by Mr Poonawalla for his red Ferrari 488 Pista Spider hardtop convertible. However, the pictures reveal that the vehicle features Italian Tricolour accents throughout, including on the front hood and running board.

The side of the new Ferrari 488 Pista Spider bears the letter “P” from the Poonawalla surname. Additionally, photos reveal a special plate inside the car with the inscription “Specially Built for Yohan Poonawalla.”

In 2018, Ferrari introduced the Portofino, a Grand Tourer and the entry-level model in their lineup. Priced at Rs 3.5 crore, ex-showroom, this model replaced the legendary California T. The convertible is equipped with a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, which delivers a maximum power of 598 Bhp and peak torque of 760 Nm. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
