Me and my cars: Manan Porecha

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.
