EDIT: Also a small correction Sir. The Carrera has a flat 6-cylinder layout, not a V10.

While TurboTorq mistook Bentley Continental GT for the Porsche Carrera GT, he was right in saying it has a V10

///M , the regular Carrera has a flat 6 indeed but not the CarreraGT which TurboTorq said

super Comedy of errors lol

Anyway, coming back to the topic. More pics of the supercars:

As usual..I'm late. Been busy with a lot of work!

So to kick things off, here are two heart-warming moments from Parx 2014 that we witnessed

I don't own a RS5, my car is the Estorial Blue S4.

Is the Army green an G63 AMG??? BTW how can one differentiate between a G63 & G55 except for the spec part?? Had seen a link in some forum where we can identify an M badged bimmer from noarmal 3 & 5 series in terms of body kit aspect, is there any kind of similar way in G wagen's case?

Yes, its an olive green wrapped G63.

Larger air dams in the front bumpers , the Single chrome slat on either sides of the Mercedes logo (which is found on most newer AMGs I guess) and the BiTurbo badging is what I look for when differentiating

This year's event was a no-go for me but I did manage to wake myself on Sunday morning because two of my friends were first-timers and wanted to see the cars zipping around.


As I made my way to the naturally packed Worli Sea Face I caught myself in the midst of the Twin Turbo Gallardo and the 348TB as well as the Chrome Gallardo, a few Z4s and the Phantom owned by YZP. As I thought the Rally had just started I slowed down and to my utter costernation there was GS, VJ and the STS owner on the other side already heading back!!

To say it was HORRIBLY organized is an understatement - the crowds weren't controlled, the Rally wasn't flagged off properly, drivers left and came as they pleased and there was no real atmosphere like there was last year.

The reason for lack of cars is understandable as the amount of people crowding the Vidhan Bhavan Parking Lot to take photos and not letting the cars pass was monumental, I would not drive a Rs. 3 crore car through that crowd, ever.


Here's hoping for a better organized Rally, hopefully at the Race Course next year.


To end, a few photos from my side.

G55 in front, G63 behind it:


Note the shape of the rear view mirrors & front bumper.

Also, does the G55 sport DRLs? I can't make it out as it's somewhat obscured by the bull bar.

Nope. Its just the G63 that comes with horizontal LED DRLs under the headlamps. Infact, checking for the DRLs is the easiest way to differentiate between a G55 and G63
