    Ferraris are a rare sight in India. The legacy and aura associated with Ferrari in India is same as in any other part of the world. Uncountable Ferrari enthusiasts exist all over India. Initially the thread may not be active but I am sure it will definitely grow over time.

    So I'll start with images common to any Indian Ferrari enthusiast - Ferrari Magic India Discovery.

    I hear there is still no official dealer in India, is that right? I know there are some owners on the boards and some other exotic owners on other boards.

    Yes that's right. There is no official dealer here in India. Imports are still made directly.

    There are numerous reports stating that Ferrari has plans to enter India in collaboration with TATA industries. However there is no official conformation yet. Ferrari Magic India was held completely in collaboration with TATA industries.

    Anyways just for information Ferrari (F1) will be sporting TATA brand in the upcoming season :) and TATA industries are the ones who acquired the Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford last year.

    well reports say that he lost control over a corner and rammed into a divider. This incident somehow escaped media attention and even managed to dodge automobile enthusiasts so very little reports are available of it. The whole scene was cleared in very little time, something which usually doesn't happen in India.
    The driver was reported to be safe.

    A very controversial story surrounding the crash of the Yellow Lamborghini.
    Claims of fraud, purposely crashed etc.


    I'll try and find some facts before I continue my post.

    It all happened in Mumbai at around 3-4 A.M.. There were reports of a crash of Ferrari 360 too and the driver got seriously injured in it. Will post more details about it later.

    Are you saying something about this Lambo crash which happened in India. If yes then I have gone through many reports and no one even mentioned such a perspective.

    How are the roads over there? The reason i ask is that currently im on a trip to Indonesia and the road irregularities are quite bad here, im sure traveling at speed one could easily lose control over a large pothole. Im actually thinking of flying over to Hyderabad at the end of the month.

    Don't alot of the Bollywood people own exotics?

    My mom is friends with the Bachchans, well was when she was in high school or college, she went over to their house and met Jaya and held Swetha when she was a baby. My grandfather worked in parliment so he had some "hookups" so to speak. Cool stories that she has. A lady in Arizona my aunt knows is one of the cousins of Rani Mukerji as well.

    The metros that you are expected to visit have very good road networks. In the interior of a city you will find too much congestion and random unsystematic traffic. Pot holes may make you lose control but any exotic owner is careful enough not to drive on such roads.
