I knew some one would ask this! Lol. The RR we purchased is in Delhi only and it has been more than 2 years since I have been to delhi. I was a passenger in a demo RR when we were still thinking about buying the Phantom , hence I have been driven in it. Of course , I will drive it when I am in delhi in a week's time .

Cool, so a quick drive in M3 to Delhi would complete the list of Driven cars right

[Dippy]

Here is my list. All cars have been driven in India.

Mercedes SL55 AMG -
Driven it. Awesome car. The supercharger is addictive. Love the soundtrack too.

Mercedes SL63 AMG -
Driven it. Loved the exhaust otherwise pretty disappointing. Loved the 55 more.

E46 BMW M3 -
Was driven in it. Amazing car. Fast and practical too.

E60 BMW M5 -
Driven it. Mad car. Doesnt feel like a 5 door sedan when you drive one.

Bentley Flying Spur -
Driven it. Nice car. Wouldnt buy one though.

Ferrari F430 Spider -
Driven it. Would love to own one. Its a Ferrari after all.

RR Phantom -
Was driven it it. Luxury all the way.

996 Porsche 911 Carrera -
The practical supercar. Would definately want to have one.

Porsche Cayenne S -
Driven it. Fun to drive and a handler too.

Ferrari F355 Spider -
Driven in it. Love it to death. I would sell my soul for one.

[v10]

Well a quick list from my side would be:-

Mercedes SL55 ///AMG
Driven

Mercedes SL63 ///AMG
Driven

Mercedes S Class (320 + 320 CDI + 350)
Driven

Mercedes ML320 CDI
Driven

Porsche Cayenne ( V6, GTS and Turbo)
Driven

Porsche 911 ( C2, C2S, C2S cabriolet, Turbo cabriolet)
Driven

Porsche Cayman S
Driven

Porsche Boxster S
Driven

Porsche 993 C2S cab
owned by cousin in the states. Driven in. hits 70 in 2nd. Manual

BMW 750li
Driven

Bentley Flying Spur
Driven in

Bentley Arnage
Driven in

Toyota Landcruiser 101
Driven & owned. Great car.

Mercedes 190D.
Driven. Fun car.

Driven TTs SLKs but dint really like them.
The Best of my list would be the 55 ///AMG and the Cayenne turbo a second.
I Like the classic sleek shape of the 55 better than than the bloated one of the 63. Hence the order. No significant difference between the two except there are two pulls during acceleration in the 55. First from the V8 and the second are the Twin-Turbos.
The S class is butter smooth to drive/be driven in. Extremely refined.
The Cayenne, ML and LC101 are great fun to drive in mad delhi traffic. They're like big bullies on our roads. Big horns and had a crazy Police siren on the LC101. Makes the rickshaws, bikes and other cars run for their lives. Every car has its own charm to drive.
All in India.
Still not legal to Drive!

[vinaydas]

Land Cruiser LC100 - Owned it , Driven it.(Dubai illegally obviously because no license)

Lexus LS -Own it Driven it(Dubai)

Hummer H2 -Driven in it(Dubai)

Mercedes S500 -Driven it and owned by family friend(India)

Mercedes S350 -Driven it from Bangalore to Kerala one of the best drives ever (500km)

Toyota Camry-Own it-Drive it(daily drive).

That's about it...Well from whatever I remember. I'm sure KD has driven quite a few more exotics/supercars as well, however has chosen only to list those in his illustrious garage.

DocG
NOTE: All the cars mentioned are either owned by friends or friends' of my friends etc...I lay no claim to owning any of them, or having extensive experience with them!

The maximum I've done is sit inside an E92 M3 convertible, and the old SLK200. And that too in their showrooms. I really envy you guys. Not that many exotics here in Chennai.
