For most of us, owning a Ferrari is a pipe dream. Take a look inside India’s supercar clubs and learn about their activities during their meet-ups.
We know that all of the country’s wealthy people have a supercar in their garage. They, on the other hand, are rarely seen in Indian city streets. Because, let’s face it, driving a Ferrari on India’s metropolitan streets isn’t much fun. To begin with, due to traffic, you are unable to crank up the engine and let her run.
In addition, while trying to squeeze between vehicles during a traffic congestion, motorcyclists and scooterists may scrape your car’s bumper. Then there are the high-speed dividers and deep potholes, which cause mayhem with low-slung supercars. Until the supercar clubs arrived on the scene, supercars were condemned to languish in the garage except for the occasional nocturnal drive. These exclusive and exclusive supercar clubs organise events for its wealthy members and give them the opportunity to test the muscle of their supercars in perfect driving conditions. Consider joining one of these supercar clubs.
