The '3666 Garage' in Chennai has an expansive collection of some tasteful high-end cars. Most of the cars were finished in white and hence it's often referred to as the 'White Garage', although now different coloured cars have been added into the mix. Running through the list, you'll find that most of the cars are powered by V8 or V12 petrol engines - showing that the owner is clearly a petrolhead.

Lamborghini Aventador

Starting off the list with this car that is no longer in the garage. It was sold to Kerala a couple of years back.

Rolls Royce Phantom

This Phantom Series 7 was added to the garage last year, hinting at it being a pre-owned buy. It looks stunning in this spec.

Lamborghini Urus

Image Source
This V8-powered Italian SUV comes with full body-coloured panels. It is the first Urus in the country to get this option.

Bentley Flying Spur

Another car added to the garage last year is this second-gen Flying Spur. This one appears to have the W12 engine. The garage also had a first-gen Flying Spur finished in white. Unsure if it is still there.

Bentley Continental GT

Image Source
This second gen Continental GT was added in 2019. The garage also had a first-gen Continental GT finished in white.

Rolls Royce Wraith

Image Source
The sportiest Rolls Royce there is. The Wraith was one of the first cars to come with a GPS guided automatic transmission. Note the red center caps on the wheels.

Aston Martin DB11

Image Source
The DB11 is more of a GT car than a supercar. It comes powered by a 5.2L twin-turbo V12 engine or a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that was developed by Mercedes AMG. The DB11 V8 became the first Aston Martin to get an AMG engine.

Lamborghini Huracan

Image Source
The baby Lamborghini is extremely popular in India and is one of the best-selling supercars in the world. This is the LP 610-4 variant, which was the first Huracan launched.

Ferrari 488

Image Source
The only Ferrari in the garage is the 488, powered by its turbocharged V8 engine. The car is finished in Rosso Corsa Metallizzato, which has metallic flakes in the paint.

Bentley Mulsanne Speed

Image Source
The Mulsanne Speed is a faster, performance-oriented variant of the Mulsanne, which is named after a famous straight on the Le Mans circuit. Even though it is a faster variant, it's still just as enjoyable from the back seat.

Rolls Royce Ghost

Image Source
This is one of my favourite Rolls Royce cars. The first generation of the Ghost was based on the BMW 7 Series and came with a 6.6L V12 engine.

Porsche 911 Turbo S

Image Source
This is the 991.2 911 Turbo S. It is kitted out with black alloys and yellow brake calipers.

BMW M5

Image Source
This is the F90 M5. The perfect car for an enthusiast with a family. It offers the performance of a sports car with the added practicality of more seats and decent boot space.

Mercedes E63 AMG

Image Source
Alongside the M5, the garage also houses a W213 E63 AMG, which is said to be daily driven. One of the few cars in the garage that does not have a '3666' number plate.

Mercedes S63 AMG

Image Source
This W222 S-Class is the AMG variant and comes with a twin-turbo V8 engine. The garage also had a W221 S-Class, which was a S500.

Maybach 650

Image Source
This is the top-of-the-line Maybach variant. The S650 was launched with the Maybach S-Class facelift and gets a V12 engine. While the S560 variant is assembled in India, the S650 variant is fully imported as a CBU.

Bentley Bentayga Speed

Image Source
This is the first Bentayga Speed to be delivered in India. It is finished in Fire Orange with Magnolia. It comes equipped with the expensive Titanium Sport exhaust designed by the same team that developed it for the GT3-R.

Range Rover Sport SVR

Image Source
The variant that justifies the 'Sport' in the name tag. The SVR comes with a 5.0L V8 engine. This one is a 2018 facelift.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Image Source
Another V8 powered SUV in the garage. The Cayenne was the first sporty SUV launched and is one of the most popular Porsche models in India.

Porsche Panamera GTS

Image Source
There are only a few Panamera GTS models in the country. This one, powered by a V8 engine, is finished in a shade called Carmine Red.

Porsche Panamera Turbo

Image Source
Another Panamera in the garage. This one is the Turbo variant and is the second generation of the vehicle.

BMW X6 M

Image Source
The fast variant of the second generation coupe-SUV. It gets a 4.4L V8 petrol engine. Yuvraj Singh also has one.

Volvo XC90 T8

The only electrified vehicle in the garage. The T8 variant of the XC90 is plug-in hybrid powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that is turbocharged + supercharged and is paired with an electric motor to produce a peak output of 401 BHP and 640 Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The company claimed 0-100 km/h sprint time is 5.6 seconds. The image shown above is for representation only.

Aston Martin Rapide S

Coming to the cars that once rested in this garage. Starting off with a white four-door Aston Martin Rapide S. As the name might suggest, the Rapide S got more power than the standard Rapide.

Porsche 911 Carrera

Image Source
The garage also housed a Porsche 991 911 Carrera. This is likely to have been replaced by the 991.2 Turbo.

Jaguar XJL

Image Source
One of the most loved and wanted Jaguar luxury sedans, with a 5.0L V8 engine under the hood.

BMW 760Li

Image Source
No base variant here. This 7 Series is the fifth generation of the vehicle and came with the 6.0L twin-turbo V12 engine.

The white Endeavour seen in a lot of the pictures above is used as a bodyguard car, and also sports '3666' number plates.

Thread moved out from the Assembly Line. Thanks for sharing!

TBH I'm intrigued by the escort vehicle. Is that a Ford Endeavour with some obnoxious grills? Or some other car?
Not the appropriate company for the RRs and Bentleys, in my opinion. Not with such bull bars. Takes away the elegance.

[self_driven]

That's a droolworthy collection of cars there! Thanks for sharing.

I guess those bull bars are more for function than form.

[RedTerrano]

Ooooh!
What a bevy of beauties, that too at one place!
Mindblowing!

What exactly is this 3666 Garage? Garage as in FNG? Someone's personal collection? Please do share more details.

[CEF_Beasts]

That's a massive bull-bar on that Endeavour, makes it look extremely ugly!

Excellent collection of cars though,

I can predict that most cars bear the registration number 3666. Though some cars in these picture sport different numbers. It should cost upwards of Crore rupees to maintain and service these beauties. And whovere this person/family is they have done a great service in buying this cars - They get to enjoy them and so much tax and employment they generate in this process. It is much better than hiding the money in tax havens and shady real estate deals.

It's a private car collection in Chennai. Since most of the cars in this collection have the same number 3666, it's referred to as the 3666 Garage or the White Garage owing to a number of White luxury cars in the early days.

Beautiful and tasteful collection. The Endeavour with those bull bars will do the job of keeping crowds at bay. Nobody messes with big SUVs and the bull bars provide added deterrents.
On the opposite end is my 6663 garage with a humble lone Duster.

May you get many more 6663 in your garage too and also with the first sentence

Drool worthy collection with many utilizing the proximity of PY for the registration purposes i notice. Some tasteful cars and some Loud ones. No wonder the marriage/saree business is one interesting business to be in.

[PrasannaDhana]

Thats quite a collection of super luxury barges. The owner happens to own one of the biggest chains of retail stores in Chennai, and is set to be an actor too, in the future. With a revenue of 60 billion INR, I don't understand why they need to go the cheap route of registering cars in Pondicherry.

Talking of tax and tax havens, while the choice of cars is terrific, all of them have been registered in Pondi (which has almost nil tax) to avoid paying Road Tax though they are being used in Chennai. Certainly the money isn’t all “white”, just like the garage.

If these cars are legally registered in Pondicherry, then why not use them to save money. Not sure how you deduce it to be black money.

I understand, but there is a difference, most people use false certificates to register their cars, like the ones in the links you shared. If someone is doing it legally, then what is the issue.
