What are you driving and why?
I drive a 2024 BMW M2 (G87) because it’s the last pure M car. The M2 has precise handling, it’s really quick and super fun to drive while also being a practical daily driver. I also own a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (W212) with the legendary M156, 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8. The E63 is powerful, luxurious and a total sleeper. I love the engine’s sound and the brutal acceleration; yet, it’s capable of being a daily driver. The best days are when I manage to drive both cars, one after the other, as they are so different.
What’s next on your wish list?
Probably a Porsche, either the new 911 GTS or the Turbo S.
The most fun you’ve had in a car?
At the Buddh International Circuit, while driving a Mercedes-AMG C63.
Dream money-no-object car
The Lamborghini Revuelto.
Who is your all-time greatest motorsport hero?
Lewis Hamilton, when he was with Mercedes.
Favourite road?
The best road where I can drive my own cars would be the Atal Setu in Mumbai. Abroad, it was a beautiful drive from Munich, Germany, to Austria.
What’s on your automotive bucket list?
I would love to own a V12 someday.
What would you do with your last litre of fuel?
Put it in my E63 and drive about 2km.
Your ideal 5-car garage would be?
A Mercedes-AMG S63, Mercedes-AMG G63, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
and a Lamborghini Revuelto.
What was your first car?
A Maruti Zen.
