For the sixth year running, the Parx Super Car show brought together thousands of explosive cars and their owners together in an opulent celebration of speed, power, and panache. Organised by the Super Car Club, pretty much every big car brand was represented at this event, which was held at the Vidya Bhavan parking lot in the south of Mumbai. The event also featured a cavalcade of these power-packed automobiles driving across Mumbai from the venue to Bandra-Kurla Complex via the iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link, and back again, with the scores of cheering spectators lining the route to catch a glimpse of their favourite rides.
Some of the highlights of the show included the ‘Rebel’ – a classic American-style hot-rod based on a ’38 Ford that was completely refurbished in Bangalore and sports a wicked 500 PS V8 which tops out at 200 km/h. Attendees also got their first glimpse of the Aston Martin Rapid S on Indian roads, along with a slew of super cars manufactured by the likes of Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, Audi, BMW and more.
Gautam Singhania, Founder and Chairman of the Super Car Club spoke at the event, he said, “Parx Super Car Show always has the tradition of bringing together the most elite class of super cars making it the biggest super car event in the country.”
“We are delighted to see all super car enthusiasts across the city coming in large numbers to see the sensational American Hot Rod – Rebel and the Aston Martin – Rapide S on the road for the first-time ever in India at the sixth edition of Parx Super Car Show 2014.”
“We are confident that this tribute to the power of luxury offered every car enthusiast in Mumbai an opportunity to witness the brigade of the most exotic and rare super cars driven across the city thus bringing a smile on their face while watching the world’s most talked about adrenaline pumping marvels.”
There was some Indian motorsport royalty present at the event too, with Gaurav Gill – winner of the Indian National Rally Championship, National Road Racing Championship, and FIA Asia pacific championship in attendance. He was also joined by N. Leelakrishnan, who has 6 Indian National Rally Championship wins under his belt, along with a Formula 3 championship to his name, and currently holds the position of Chief Technical Director at Red Rooster Racing.
