Ferrari India

Hmm .. really don't know why ... maybe because of "Red is Ferrari" thinking but there are exceptions -

One is a yellow 360 Spider, a grey F430 Spider, a blue 355, a black 599 (haven't seen it) and a yellow F430 (heard of it, not too sure about it).

All other that I know about are red in color.

 

Add one more to the list above -
Black F430 from Calcutta

Thanks
I am not aware of any specific meets taking place but Banjara and Jubilee Hills are the best place to spot the exotics.
Besides this there are Drag races that are held near the Shamshabad Airport. That's the best place to catch the action.

 

Hello Niyaz !!

thanx
No Veyrons, Enzos, SLRs, etc. 110% tax, improper roads, no service backup makes it highly impractical to keep such cars.

Off topic from Ferraris.

Instead of Supercars you can find many vintage Rolls Royce in India. Many of these RRs were designed and customized for the Maharajas of ancient India. Little is known about the RRs in India. Apparently around 900 RRs made it to India between 1907 and 1947.

Rolls Royce or vintage enthusiasts may enjoy these interesting legends related to RRs in India -

The Punjab connection :

This world’s most famous and a best known brand is also associated with Punjab. According to a legend which finds mention on khalistan-affairs.org, in 1930, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh felt slighted at the British Rolls Royce company’s refusal to accept an order from him for a new Rolls Royce car. Reacting to the refusal, the old Maharaja put some of his old Rolls Royce cars to haul garbage dung and filth in Patiala city to the chagrin of the all-powerful Rolls Royce-loving Viceroy and the British ruling establishment who quickly prevailed upon the Rolls Royce Company to comply with the old Maharaja’s wishes.


The Bharatpur connection :

Another famous buyer was the Maharaja of Bharatpur (He always bought three automobiles at the same time). Once when the Rolls-Royce firm delayed sending mechanics to his capital to rectify small faults in the cars, the maharaja threatened to convert all his Rolls-Royces into garbage carriers. Lest the car lose its "aura" as the automobile for the super rich, the car-makers sent a group of mechanics at the earliest to Bharatpur.


The Patiala connection :

When the Maharaja of Patiala was snubbed by snooty British salesmen at a Rolls Royce showroom in the U.K., he hit back by buying up the entire consignment of 50 vehicles on display and turning them into garbage trucks back home. An English paper printed a picture and the story that made company representatives scurrying to Patiala with an olive branch.


The Alwar connection :

When Maharaja Jay Singh of Alwar *visited the showrooms of Rolls-Royce in London, he was affronted when the salesman implied that he couldn't afford to purchase one of the sleek new models -- he promptly purchased 10, shipped them home, tore their roofs off, and used them to collect garbage.

One can find plenty of interesting information about RRs in India.
