Supercars & Imports : Bangalore

The Beemer 7-ers look fabulous, //M and Manish. Although I prefer the new one, the previous gen car looks so striking. Very well maintained, I must say. And the Z3 looks nice as well. This isn't the one with the horrible stickering, is it?
The hummers, as usual are too much bling. Why can't the owners just keep it stock? Looks so much better that way.
EDIT: Just saw Manish's post below. That Mustang is awesome^infinity.

Mustang spotted near MSR.

Spotted these interesting imports over the past few days.

This gorgeous XF was parked in Bangalore Club on the Sunday before last. It really stood out among the other lesser variety of cars around that included several BMWs and Audis.

Got the chance to listen to its fantastic V8 growl as well.

At first, I thought it was a normal SLK. And actually, it is!

Those massive AMG(?) wheels make all the difference, I tell you! The person behind the wheel seemed a little enthusiastic but was very cautious! The little kid in the passenger seat was having a ball, though!

Spotted this unassuming silver Toyota Prius on Richmond Road one morning. It was stuffed with expats and was going slower than a bullock-cart. This is the 2nd Prius I'd spotted in a week! Not bad for an expensive hybrid!

A very understated Lexus LS430 captured right in front of Oasis/Lifestyle on the Intermediate Ring Road. I almost passed it off for a Mercedes until I got closer to it!

EDIT: I'd also spotted that exact same Mercedes SL320 parked on MG Road on the same Sunday! It looked stunning but unfortunately, I got just 5 seconds with it as I was in a moving car! I wonder why it's missing the front repeaters. Lack of spare parts, perhaps?

The XF looks gorgeous, as always. I wish they'd give better wheels as stock, though. Maybe the sento ones. These are just too plain for a car as stunning as this.
BTW, isn't that V8 growl amazing? I heard it once and it gave me goosebumps.

Isn't it the same one that Manish spotted under covers a couple of days back? And yes, they are indeed AMG wheels.

RRs and Ss are pretty common in Bangalore. Unless its the not so common ones like Autobiography, Supercharged, S600/ 500 and all, its nothing worth mentioning here.

manishasrani · 28th September 2010, 16:27

Here is a picture of a black GTR.

suhaas307 · 29th September 2010, 16:08

Spotted a beautiful guards-red Porsche Cayman in Jayanagar 3rd block this afternoon. It looked brilliant and the sorted boxer-6 engine/dual pipes sounded fantastic although a little muted!

manishasrani · 29th September 2010, 16:22

Here is another Rolls Royce Ghost.

//M · 29th September 2010, 21:51

A old-gen Porsche Cayenne and a couple of Merc S-Class's.

manishasrani · 30th September 2010, 10:32

Not sure if I have posted these pictures before .

jagxf · 30th September 2010, 10:37

@manish: is this XF still in banglore??
the ghost looks like the one from chennai, is it? or is it a new addition to blore?
nice catch there!

OT: happy birthday dude!

Unknownsatan · 30th September 2010, 11:08

I guess it high time we stop posting normal S in this thread. There are quite a lot of em in here. Even plenty of Cayenne are also there. Though they technically qualify to be in here.

It is very much Bangalore only. if I am not mistaken, the first S-Class pic is taken next to UB City and Cayenne on Vittal malya Road, not sure for the second S class though.
