Virat Kohli's Car Collection

eyeman · 9th November 2020, 17:52

Well, have to agree with several others that it is not a very enviable collection. Just a not very polished effort to show off his immense wealth. The guy's lack of taste is evident in cars too!!

Found nothing exciting in his Garage. And that BMW 7 Series looks ugly in Matte Black wrap.

Whites & blacks with 18 do not qualify as a car enthusiast. Probably he's not a car guy like us BHPians.

The only non-VAG car in this thread - period.

7-series is also a non-VAG car.

The first line of this thread says India's Cricket Captain Loves his cars!!

Actually every man who has the money loves his cars!

The collection does not show any particular taste for cars. Its just that he can afford it so he has bought the most expensive and biggest ones.

There is a difference between having love and taste for cars.Here its just love expensive cars.

Also being a Delhi boy I can understand all the wrapping and bling!

A guy with taste for cars would like to preserve its originality.

Pardon my saying so, but this thread has become a gossip thread.

The person being discussed isn't here to share his thoughts, neither has he professed to be a car connoisseur elsewhere in the media.
And even if he is car person (let's say so) who's to decide his tastes should align with what everyone's (here) definition of "nice" collection should be?

He's got VAG cars probably as brand ambassador gifts or got good deals on those, either way, sure beats paying full price for another brand if these cars fulfill his transportation needs (or whatever else is important for him wrt a car).

Also, he's got much more important stuff to do with his time and mind space instead of trying to impress the world with his choice of wheels.

cheers

Couple of pics of the Q7, Cayenne e-Hybrid and Panamera Turbo Executive Edition while they were out for a nice Sunday morning wash today.

In one section, he admits - he is not connected to cars like Sachin - just enjoys driving. Definitely gets gifts and good deals on Audis

While everyone here is bashing his taste, to be fair he never claims to be enthusiast in his interview. Whats fascinating is his extreme clarity of thoughts and the honesty in speaking his mind in his autocar interview. Give the man the respect he deserves.

Virat owns a lot of expensive cars, may be they are purpose driven purchases that will satisfy his needs.

As a bunch of car lovers, we have our tastes and preferences, but it's not necessary for every wealthy person to be a car guy.

If I were asked to choose a cricket bat probably I would buy an expensive one, believing it's the best, but it might not be the best one in reality.

Also, the number of cars one owns is never a qualification to be a car guy. I hope you all agree

Virat Kohli is the winner of new i20 turbo as part of India vs England T20i series. His househelp must be happy today.

The gurgaon garage is most likely his elder brother's so that ugly matte wrapped BMW 7 and other cars bought & housed in gurgaon might be his brother's choice.

Virat calls Mumbai home now and has a Q8, RR Vogue & a Bentley in his garage. Mumbai garage can be called his rather than the Guragon one.

Another addition to Virat Kohli's Gurgaon garage, a Mercedes Benz GLS450. This one is registered in the name of Virat Kohli's brother, like most of the other cars in the Gurgaon garage.
