Re: The Poonawalla's epic car collection - Supercars, fast sedans, limousines, performance SUVs & mo

That is one awesome garage! Do they even know how many cars they have? On a side note, the maintenance of so many exotics must be costing in millions of rupees every year (Not that it will be a problem for them). Noob question: how often do you need to service and maintain these “Exotic Supercars”?

Am I the only one who thinks that both AP and YZP Garage deserve their independent threads? I think the sheer variety and numbers of cars in each garage necessitate that.

What an awesome collection this one is. I'm literally blown away on counting the number of Rolls Royce cars they have, the Phantom. They almost have every variant/generation of Phantom sold in India. Any idea on what cars do their bodyguards use to escort them?

Their bodyguards are usually ferried around in a GL63 AMG which is blue or the S500 sporting the 500 numberplate

That's alot of cars. I guess when you are one of the richest person in the country, a garage like that is achievable and a given.

His classic/vintage collection is quite impressive. The 190SL and the Grosser are fine fine examples.

Damn. Thanks for sharing this! I knew the YZP collection is long but didn't expect it to be this long. Initially, I was wondering why can't I see any old classics in there and baam, I saw you've put a separate section for it. A lot more than I expected. I think the YZP alone can host a classic car show without anybody else's help.

I don't want to get into the Vitamin M part. But service and maintenance of their collection would be pretty hard, considering the sheer number. Do you think they'd be having a personal manager for their cars to keep them running?

Yes that is a recent addition to the collection.

Yes YZP has a manager to take care of the vintage and classic cars and most of these are maintained at his residence by his team of skilled technicians.

The newer cars are serviced by authorised service personnel only at their residence. In case of some minor work here and there, some FNG sorts it out.

Re: The Poonawalla's epic car collection - Supercars, fast sedans, limousines, performance SUVs & mo

This thread has been a long time coming, but still does not cover the true length and breadth of the Poonawalla collection. There are still so many cars missing, here are just a few off the top of my head:

BMW M2 Competition
Audi RS6 Avant
BMW M3 (E46) Convertible
Chevrolet Impala (Lowrider Spec)
Porsche 911 Carrera S (With some insane aftermarket bits and beautiful wheels)
Toyota Supra
BMW M5 (F10)
Mercedes C63 AMG (W204)
Ford Mustang with Roush & RTR Bits
Ford Mustang Foxbody (Famously seen at SpeedRun events back in the day)
Ford Mustang Eleanor Replica (Details here are hazy, but I believe they own the blue one with white stripes)
Ferrari F430
Mercedes Benz E55 AMG with Kleeman K4 (Formerly owned by them)
Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X


These are just some of the cars that I know of that aren't mentioned here. The Mansory Silver/Black Phantom 7 is still present in their garage, as well as the maroon Phantom EWB.

AFAIK, they also have a second Phantom VIII, this one in gold with black roof/hood/boot contrast.

I think the cars you mentioned belong to YZP's brother-in-law. It wouldn't have been wise to include all cars owned by the other family members, specially since the Poonawalla collection itself is this massive and diverse. Just my 2 cents.

Meanwhile, here's a Mercedes Benz 220S from this collection. Picture shared by my friend Tanmay.

I am not feeling the spec, looks pretty meh in that side profile image. Blame it on other interesting specs we have already seen on Pista, with Delhi Spider leading the pack.

3 out of 458 Speciale of country now has Pista, either spider or coupe, as garage mate.

I pretty much had the same exact thought when i saw these pictures in Instagram today. Indian flag center strips would have popped up had there been a different shade on this vehicle.

We have seen several unique specs on Pista coupes & spiders all over the world and its really hard to pick a favorite.

I read in the Bangalore Mirror that they have purchased this Rolls Royce Phantom II which belongs Sir Malcolm Campbell - holder of World Speed Records

You'd think that people would know that the Italian tricolore has green, white, red (L-R), while the Indian tiranga has saffron, white and green (U-D).
