The answer to your question is in the question. If he can afford to import a non-commercially sold car to India (that too a LHD), then I'm sure he can afford a whole lot of things. Ain't much money can't buy in Bharat !

Re: Supercars & Imports : Hyderabad

I guess the rule is relatively new. When my family moved in from Oman in 1987, my dad brought with him his LHD W123 240D and it was registered in Madras (now chennai). An absolute nightmare to drive back then even when our roads weren't that filled with cars.

Re: Supercars & Imports : Hyderabad

According to the RTO website this car was registered in 2009 and it was originally silver. I think the rule came around much before then. We registered our LHD Nissan Quest in 2000 and I remember the rule was implemented soon after that.

Didn't know there was a Cayman GTS here. From what i've read/heard/seen, it is the best Cayman/sportscar ever (except ofcourse the GT4). Steve Sutcliffe (while he was still at Autocar) had even gone as far as saying that if he had to choose just one car forever, it would be this!
Any idea how much it would cost OTR?

Lovely spec there!
Ex Showroom is 1.3cr if I am not mistaken. So must be 1.5cr on road. This any day over the F Type I'd say!

Just some automotive-philosophical wordplay.
To give some more 'perspective', the red one is a Supercharged V8 and the white is a naturally-aspirated V10. Oh, and both belong to the same owner(?)

Err... They don't belong to the same owner if I'm not mistaken. There are two White R8 V10s in Hyderabad and one shares space with a Mulsanne and the other with the F12. Not too sure though.

I wasn't sure, hence the (?) at the end. I was told they belong to the same guy. Were sporting the same 0099 plates too. Guess I was wrong.
Have a lot of catching up to do since I've crawled out from under the rock

Re: Supercars & Imports : Hyderabad

Rich kids of Hyderabad terrorizing the streets. Wonder when these d0uche bags will take their competence if they have any (judging by their driving , they have none, check out the distance between the Audi and the Bentley at 0:29) to the track.



I can see it all happening - one of the drivers rams into someone, a death follows, media coverage spikes, a group of individuals are paid, the suspect is never put in jail.

Absolutely wreckless behaviour! Those are public roads filled with a myriad of people who lane-split without any indicators (like our heroes here). It takes just one fool for an accident to happen and our heroes here have that box ticked. If they keep up with this, the day isn't far when we will see them in the wrecked exotics thread (god forbid).
Hope the race track/drap strip being proposed materialises and opens shop soon so these people can hoon safely (http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/showthread.php?t=168628).
Anyway, here's a few latest spottings of the Huracans of Hyderabad, including the red one featured in the above video.

Is this the country's first Mercedes-AMG C63 S to be delivered?

So Lamborghini Bengaluru got down this stunning orange Huracan to Hyderabad for another preview held yesterday at HICC.
Is it a demo vehicle? Or a sale car?

Nope, as far as I know.
There were talks of two McLaren P1s landing in Hyderabad too. Wonder where such talks come up from !
