Supercars & Imports : Kolkata

Avishar thats a great find, even though the effort is not entirely yours. The prius is a great car and i was told by the Toyota sales person the car till 40 kmph works on the electric motor and then after 40kmph runs on the petrol engine. A great saver in the traffic effected country of ours where cars most of their driveing time are stuck in Jams and run below 50 kmph.
Saw a golden one on my way to work this morning.

Guys Audi R8 pics are coming .I CANNOT promise but I will try and upload them by tomorrow.

planet_rocker · 6th April 2010, 12:35

i have asked my brother to send me the pics of the R8 - but he is a bit hesitant to click because of privacy issues. Lets see if he can manage it.

avishar · 6th April 2010, 19:28

A few more pics from the same facebook group.
Credit goes to rohin sureka and vedant mimani,for the wonderful snaps

@NOS Any updates? Coupe or soft-top?
@//M If its a brand new car,then it will obviously be the LP560-4.Not expecting the crazy Balboni!

Sorry guys for the delay (didnt have access to the net for quite sometime

), might have diminished your enthusiasm about it.

Well no further details regarding the Gallardo. Will probably know once customs clears the car.

Saw a white MH registered Range Rover on Kona Expressway on saturday. And two idiots in a Tucson were trying to chase it and click pics. Probably they didnt know that the RR is capable of some speed. It just pulled away.

One more update. There's a Jaguar E-Type in kolkata. Wont give more details as i have been asked not to. But i have convinced the owner to give me a ride in it

Is it silver? Because I remember seeing a silver E-Type a few years back!
Lucky you,and I hope the owner won't mind if some of us here join you.

avishar · 8th April 2010, 19:03

I remember seeing a silver jaguar S-type about 5 years ago near flurys,and news on that one?

shamik.bose · 8th April 2010, 23:06

Spotted this DL-registered Lexus LS(Old gen) at Park Circus in the evening. Looked nice. The only pic I managed was pretty bad.

BTW, planet_rocker, what is it about the PM? I opened this thread with eager anticipation but found nothing.

avishar · 8th April 2010, 23:59

My brother spotted the White r8 near new market.Was excited in seeing that it has 4 exhaust pipes!

shamik.bose · 9th April 2010, 00:09

Come on you people, show us some pics.

BTW, if someone can point me in the direction of where this car might be seen, I can take a try. Will be free, roaming around Park Street all day!

planet_rocker · 9th April 2010, 11:05

You should spend roaming around new market for a good reason

(i hope the PM makes sense).

If you love park street, keep yourself parked nearby Mocambo / vodafone store / tea junction / bengal hyundai.

i hope you didn't miss the following quoted post:

But somehow after the R8 and the Gallardo news, nothing is making an impact!
Please get those pics soon!

haha! You are absolutely right.

I have a friend who has the pics but I am unable to meet him.
