Toyota Supra
BMW M3

Aditya also has a convertible E46 M3.

What are you driving and why?

Currently, I enjoy driving my Toyota Supra (Mk4)occasionally. I don’t drive it much, as it belongs more on a drag strip than the streets. I also have a BMW M3 (E46), as it is one of the most fun-to-drive M cars and it’s a perfect modern classic too. I also own the V10-powered BMW M5 (E60), which is an experience in itself.

What’s next on your wish list?

A BMW M4.

The most fun you’ve had in a car?

In a Mazda RX-7 while cruising down the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The rotary engine was a blast!

Favourite / Dream money no object car?

A 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, as it’s the car that inspired me to get into this hobby.

Who is your all-time greatest motorsport hero?

Ayrton Senna.

Favourite road?

Any road where you can legally drive at 250kph plus.

What’s on your automotive bucket list?

To build a 1,000hp Supra.

What would you do with your last litre of fuel?

Put it in my M5 and hear the V10 engine roar for one last time.

Your ideal 5-car garage would be?

Toyota Supra (Mk4)

Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)

Mercedes C 63 AMG (W204)

Ferrari F430

BMW M3 (E46)

What was your first car?

It was a Premier 118NE that I spent my college life in.
