The white 458 is not coming I'm told. There are 4 Italias currently in town and I expect just the Yellow one to come. AP might get his red 458 from Pune too.
And even the orange Aventador is not coming in most probability. The white one will be there.
Should be exciting this year

[jatinpatel]

It would be thrillingif the LP640 too joins in
would be awsome to see the predecessor with the New born

The SLS would the same red one which was shown in the recently held ACI performance show ?
know that car very well inside out.

[PPS]

Seems the venue has been changed. It was advertised at the Autocar Performance Show that the venue would be Vidhan Bhavan parking lot. If i'm not mistaken even last year the event has supposed to be held at Racecourse but it got shifted to Vidhan Bhavan at the last moment.

LP 570-4 Superleggera, LP 640 & Aston Martin are missing from the list. Hope the list keeps growing till the day. Eagerly awaiting the 22nd!

The car turnout should be better than last year with a few new exotics like the Lambo 570-4 Superleggera, 560-4 Convertible and Aventador being present along with a beautiful new red Maserati GTS and couple Astons along with the new Jag XKR also joining the line-up. The venue and route planned is also preferable over previous years, let's hope the participants and on-lookers especially on the road maintain a semblance of discipline to fully enjoy the day.

[Super Car Club]

This year the venue has been moved to Turf Club at the Race Course, as we believe that the enthusiast will have a better viewing opportunity. We hope to continue this in future.

Its good to see its at the race course. Lot more place for people to park, when they come for the show

You can get inside the enclosure only if you have a Paddock Pass. These passes are given at the sole discretion of Autocar India and the organisers

The event is open to the public and viewing the cars is better this time around. If you want to get upclose to a car then a pass is required. The pass can be precured through Autocar, organisers and owners who are participating for the event.

They would be part of the show along with the other cars from his stable.

Just heard that Valentino Balboni (Link to Wiki Page) is going to be part of the drive!

^ OH MY GOD. The Wiki page tells me that the man with the best job in the world had to retire in 2008 due to government regulations! Bummer.
