@Mustangman - I never knew BMW offering the 550i GT in India. I thought all were 530Ds.

The rims pictured above are optional and I have seen them on couple of GTs from Chennai (One black and one White).

The biggest blunder done by this guy, That V12 badge is unmistakably Merc!

I think thats INSTANT POWER desi style.

You may not have it but more than 99% of lookers think you have it.

You must have seen M-800s with 16V MPFI stickers of the fenders. Not many T-BHPians out here in Delhi to spot the difference.

I thought the only engine option available on the GT, in India was the 535i, with the same engine from the Z4 and the likes. That is a huge mistake. He should have atleast got a V12 badge of a Beemer.

Ya, you are right. That's the only engine on offer.

@CannonBall Club:

Fantastic photos, the cars look so hot!

Can you put pics up somewhere in high-res (like flickr)? Some of them would make great wallpapers!

[9thsphinx]

Awesome pictures Cannonballclub. That SV is a looker. I believe its one of a kind in India, right? As Anekho mentioned can we have high-res pictures - would make awesome wallpapers.

Ah a Gen II 997 911 Targa 4S. One of the less popular variants. Would have loved to see more photographs of this rarer breed of 911s. Where was it spotted, Sid?

EDIT: Just noticed the surroundings. Looks like Porsche Centre New Delhi?

[sidindica]

yes, Porsche new Delhi.

• 3.8 boxer 6, 997.2 targa 4S
• 385 ps, 0-100 in 4.5 sec (car equipped with sport chrono package)
• glass top fully retractable

Great pics Sid, a same one (I guess) was in the Chennai showroom some months ago. Is it the same?

How come the Porsche Center still features the old gen Cayenne Turbo? Old pics?

The only problem with this car is it's equipped with the idiotic toggle-switches instead of the optional paddle-shifters. But I'm guessing this was made and imported here before the introduction of the paddles.

And apparently, the Targa variant isn't very popular among real Porsche aficionados because it doesn't 'feel' like a 911 to drive, supposedly. The glass-roof ruins the 911-appeal and dynamics that's present in the other variants like the Carrera. And it feels just like any other sports-car, so to speak.

Fantastic pictures, Sid.
