Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

My pick: Lamborghini Urus

Reasons, well being an SUV guy myself, I prefer something which is big and can do insane speed if required. Also, for our Indian roads, I'd choose this any day.

Few facts about this Lambo beast:
Urus, comes under a whole new car segment of Supersport Utility Vehicles (SSUV)

Max Speed: 305 kmph
0-100 kmph (0-62 mph): 3.6 seconds
0-200 kmph (0-124 mph): 12.8 seconds

Six different driving modes to test in city, highway, or off-road. (Fighter jet type)

Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

My choice given that I am willing to bear with its limitations on Indian roads would be:


Ferrari 488 GTB: this car looks stunning; I loved the looks of the 458 Italia and assumed its replacement cannot top it in the looks department, boy was I wrong! The 488 GTB is simply gorgeous in red.

Mercedes AMG GT R: Initially I was not too obsessed with this car but after seeing its name pop up several times and having heard Lewis Hamilton was part of its development only increased my love for this green beast. With excellent handling, good practicality (for a supercar) and Mercedes reliability, it is a green beast that I'd like to see parked outside my house.

Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

While daily driving a supercar in India may seem like an overkill due to our bad roads and how uncomfortable supercars can get for anything but short runs/circuit runs.

I would choose a car which is comfortable, has something within it to pass over speed bumps/potholes with comparable ease, and would be luxurious enough to pamper me from the harsh external world when daily driving. I would pick the McLaren GT, which is actually made to be a daily driver supercar.

It has the heart of the 720S but the comfort of something much more luxurious to get through those harsh daily drives. Plus, in addition to the slightly higher ground clearance, you can always lift it up a bit more to clear the speed bumps. Practical enough for the city, great for the weekend highway runs and lethal on the track as well. Also, McLaren notes that the GT delivers a range of roughly 400 miles. (May not be valid in the real world, but at least sounds satisfying to the ears)

Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

The ony ultimate vehicle I would be driving is the UNIMOG U5023.

The chassis prices start from 1,40,000 Euros. This can be classified as agri equipment and can be imported at a low(10%?) custom duty. It is significantly lower in maintenance and has higher durability with unparalelled safety. This is a steal compared to all the other cars mentioned here(including the VW).

The trademark criteria of supercars in being impractical is satisfied in traffic and parking.

I might throw a Triumph Rocket 3 in the back to satiate the thirst for speed whenever I come across roads in our Nation.

Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

Great thread!. I do not have just one but three cars.

My dream supercar which I will drive to work and use on a daily sort of basis will be the
Porsche 911 Turbo S, for its timeless design and needless to say performance and reliability. It has to be in a silver colour.

The one I will take for my evening outings and functions will be the
Aston Martin DB11, in either the metallic brown or a dark metallic blue colour.
This car just oozes class.

For the weekends and for a bit of bad boy fun I will want the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. The proper mean American Muscle car. This I will want in the red and black or the Silver and black combo.

Now to continue praying for the dream to come true.

No supercar matches and aces the daily driveability criteria as much as the Porsche 911 (any variant which matches the taste of the driver). Even its stable mates, the Cayman and Boxster, would be good picks, especially the Cayman GT4. Perfect and timeless design, size, power figures, sublime handling and ravishing cockpit. Pretty much all ingredients for a daily driver is present in this car, for sure.

Would prefer mine to be in race blue, please !

Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

If I was to buy a supercar it would have to last for eternity and have an experience that would be raw and unadulterated. My pick would be the Noble M600.

I wonder how many supercars have the luxury of a manual lever to actuate the handbrake.

For me, it would have to be the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, the silky smooth V12 would be awesome in city traffic.

Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

For me, I would love to own the Audi R8 V10 plus as a daily driver. I honestly feel it would be able to do the rounds on our Indian Roads. This would be my practical choice and in the same colour as the image below.

But if I have to go all out, my choice would be the 918 Spyder. The car is a total beast and is able to get to unimaginable speeds in no time and a 0-100kmph time of around 2.5 seconds makes it even crazier. It is in my books one of the most beautiful super cars ever made.
I would love to own it in the same colour as the one in the image.

Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

Though not a Supercar, I will be quite happy if I could ever own and get behind the wheels of an BMW E92 M3 - one of the absolute practical daily drive Sports Car in India!

As someone once said "My only complaint about this car is that I don’t own it"

although not classified as a supercar, but my pick would be the Audi RS6, and the reason, I feel, is self explanatory.

my friend just picked up the only one in Panther Black in India, and after experiencing it, I’ve just fallen in love with it even more.

A black testarossa with red pinstripes around the bumpers and side skirts with speedline wheels. If it's going to be a supercar, it's gotta have some swag. If I had to choose a modern option, the Lusso seems like a winner.

Re: If you could daily-drive a Supercar in India, which one would you pick?

For me it has to be the Lamborghini Urus.

*Supercar like acceleration.
*Decent ground clearance.
*I believe it will be decent enough for rural areas.
