From Straight-sixes, to quarry trucks and classics, Vinay Sukumaran’s automotive choices explained.

What are you driving / riding and why?

I drive a BMW M3 convertible (E46) for the addictive induction noise from the S54 straight-six engine. I also own a Mercedes-Benz G 460 for its tank-like build and a Mercedes-Benz 600 SEL for the sheer luxury and engineering it offers.

What’s next on your wish list?

The 911 GT3 is on Vinay’s wish list.

Probably a Porsche 911 GT3 or a 911 Targa (930).  

The most fun you’ve had in a car / bike? 

It was actually not on a car or a motorcycle, but in a Caterpillar mining truck in an iron ore quarry.
