Haven't been following SBK's for quite sometime now. Must say this one looks kinda wicked, but I somehow feel the tail is clearly inspired by the Yamaha R6.

Was a pretty nice day for spotting cars. Saw the following A6 3.0 TDI Quattro.
Also saw a spanking new white Q7, all its LED's in full glory at park circus. Also saw another debadged golden A6, not to mention the usual array of 5-series and A4's. Also saw a Passat.

This black beauty was seen near our college hangout spot. People threw down their cigarettes to have a look. And the stupid driver wouldn't let the roof down

Why the hell would he even care about people at some hangout ??
let alone lowering the top for them.

She [No no i am talking about 650i] is really sweet!!! Look at the way she gathers attention,even when there are few females around

Manish...

shamik.bose · 19th November 2009, 22:41

This has been here for quite sometime. Infact I'm posting pictures of this very car for the second time
P.S: These pics were taken by a friend
@Manish: he could've done it for our sakes nah.. btw i think my friend also has a pic of the car with its roof down.. lemme check.. will post pictures in a while

EDIT: found pics. Posted.

AyAn! · 19th November 2009, 23:04

Nice pics of the black 6 shamik.Both top down and top up!
I've seen this car a couple of times at park street.
Also saw a brand new white X5@sarat bose road..

shamik.bose · 19th November 2009, 23:23

Thanks Ayan. I saw an X5 too, don't remember the colour. Calcutta sure is moving up.

avishar · 20th November 2009, 01:07

Calcutta sure is.One exotic which would be ideal for cal roads is porsches(cayman,boxster,911).I am sure porsches and R8 will be the first batch of exotics to really become popular in kolkata.And the quattroporte.Lambos and ferraris will never be common here,even if people have the money.

shamik.bose · 20th November 2009, 01:25

Even the R8 is too low for Calcutta roads. 911's would make sense in cal, but what would make most sense are the C63 AMG and M3. Let's hope people buy 'em.

Great looking 650i convertible. It looks stunning in black. If I'm not wrong there's a black 650i in Delhi too. But I guess that one is a coupe. Nice pics shamik.

anish9000 · 21st November 2009, 03:30

Black looks very nice on the 650. There was a black TN reg 650 convertible for sale a year ago. The car looks like the same one to me.

OT

@Avishar, Shamik : No supercar will be regular fare in any Indian city or any city in the world for that matter (except places in the middle east). Be it Porsches,Lambos,Ferraris, Masers, Astons or whatever. You see, the practicality of supercars is that, they are impractical beyond reason. We tend to think that every city in the world except in India are flocked with Supercars and it is very commonplace there. Yes, I agree that they are more common there than here, but its not like you see a ferrari or a LP640 around every bend. They also drive common cars like us. So whatever it might be, better cars everyday is what we want, not supercars!

I hate the alloys on the 6 . The one in chandigarh has the M alloys . Will get the pics ASAP . But the car is in white so black looks better .

AyAn! · 21st November 2009, 22:16
