Supercars & Imports : Coimbatore

EP. · 6th March 2011, 00:44

Went to the R8 unveiling at the Residency hotel yesterday. Saw almost the entire Audi range there including the new A8.

The V10 roar is something to die for.

Nice pics. Missed it! Was the event by invite or open to all?

Is Audi planning on a showroom in CBE? Who organised the show?

Saw a brand new Range Rover (white) at the Residency hotel premises, Coimbatore BHPians keep an eye out for this Rangie.

Spotted by a friend. Old Volvo S80, daddy of the present S80 i guess. The Registration plates had CD on it.

The above S80 which was a previous generation one i think was available of the shelf in India,from the Volvo delearship(when they had a single one) in delhi.

The one I saw was still on temp plates, it could be this one too.

@anyone- Aren't Jag diesels only available in the XF-S trim?( read that somewhere ) or do they have a "non S" trim too?

Offtopic:

@EP, are you a student of the college near Siruvani Hills?

Ummmmm, red TC plates? Then, no. Cos I saw that one gunning down avinashi road the next day.

I believe that the temp plate one is owned by the dealer. (test car)

I'm not sure about the dark evo, we do have a white evo, a Jaguar XJ and an Evoque in the city.
