The Supercars of India’s Super Rich & Famous

Snapshot – Just like there are cars, and then supecars, there are the rich and then, the super rich. When the super rich meet supercars, the combination is potent, enough to stir up emotions of the man on the street. Today, we bring to you the story of 10 supercars, all owned by a bunch of India’s rich and famous personalities.

Yuvraj Singh’s Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

If the Gallardo is Lamborghini’s best selling supercar ever, the Murcielago is the wilder side of the already wild supercar brand from Italy. And one of Indian cricket’s original bad boys, Yuvraj Singh, owns one.

The Murcielago LP640 makes more power than the Gallardo. The car succeeded the Diablo and remained Lamborghini’s flagship model for 10 years, between 2001 and 2010.

Ranbir Kapoor’s Audi R8

Ranbir Kapoor is known as one of the thinking actors in Bollywood, who’s not averse to taking on unconventional roles. The man’s character seems to come through as far as his set of wheels is concerned.

 

How else do you explain the Audi R8 gracing Ranbir’s garage. The R8 is known as the thinking man’s supercar, and it’s only fitting that Ranbir Kapoor drives one.

John Abraham’s Lamborghini Gallardo

Another Lamborghini Gallardo owner in India is John Abraham, a Bollywood actor well known for his speed addiction.

 

Apart from the slew of superbikes than John owns, the Lamborghini Gallardo stands out as one of the maddest machines in the actor’s garage.  The Gallardo owned by John is a black coloured model that has a stealthy look to it.

Virat Kohli’s Audi R8 LMX

Recently, Virat Kohli bought himself an Audi R8 LMX, a special edition of the outgoing R8 supercar. Indian cricket’s angry young man and star batsman also owns another Audi R8 supercar.

 

The LMX edition of the R8 is the fastest ever in the current range, and that gets laser headlamps. Meanwhile, Audi is readying up the second generation R8, which will make its debut later this year.

Gautam Singhania’s Lamborghini Aventador

 

Apparel maker Raymond’s boss man drives about in a Lamborghini Aventador. An avid car nut, Gautam Singhania also has exotic driving machines such as the Ariel Atom and the Caterham 7 in his garage.

 

So, the Aventador is meant to stick out as the flagship supercar in the industrialist’s collection. The Aventador is the most powerful supercar in Lamborghini’s range, and the supercar maker’s flagship offering too.

Imran Khan’s Ferrari California

The California is one of the more sensible Ferraris for Indian conditions, what with its 150mm ground clearance, which is stratospheric by supercar standards.

 

Bollywood actor Imran Khan, known for its boyish good looks, owns one of these. The California is a convertible and in rosso red colour, and the Ferrari badge on the bonnet, the supercar is a sure fire head turner on Indian roads.

 

Sachin Tendulkar’s Nissan GT-R

Sachin Tendulkar is well known for his impressive set of wheels. A couple of years ago, the cricketing great sold his Ferrari 360 Modena to land up with the Nissan GT-R, a Japanese supercar that gives the Europeans a taste of what the Orient can come up with.

The Nissan GT-R, a.k.a the Gozilla, is a supercar that only a rarified set of car enthusiasts buy.

Anil Ambani’s Lamborghini Gallardo

 

Low slung supercars have their share of idiosynrasies and Lamborghinis are the more notorious among this bunch.

Getting into the driver’s seat of the Lamborghini Gallardo does entail some contortions, and the marathon running multi-billionaire Anil Ambani is fit enough forsuch antics. The man owns a Lamborghini Gallardo, one of the highest selling supercars of the Italian marque.

Vijay Mallya’s Chevrolet Corvette

Vijay Mallya has a garage full of classic cars, so much so that his cars now form a part of his private museum. Among the racier set of wheels the liquor baron owns, the Chevrolet Corvette stands out as an example of all-american muscle.

The Corvette is an American supercar that originally began life as a muscle car for the masses. The Corvette that Vijay Mallya owns is a true classic, a version from 1957.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Ferrari 599 GTO

One of India’s most successful cricket captains, Mahendra Singh Dhoni loves the fast lane, and has an eclectic collection of two and four wheels.

Occupying pride of place in the cricketer’s garage is the Ferrari 599 GTO India Edition, a car that is one of the fastest to lap the Fiorano test track. The India edition of the Ferrari 599 GTO features the tricolor emblazoned prominently on its hood.
