Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica

What are you driving and why?

I’ve got a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica for the weekends – nothing beats that raw, connected feel – and a Bentley Bentayga for daily runs. It’s the perfect mix of power, comfort and presence.

What’s next on your wish list?

It’s a toss-up between the Ferrari Purosangue and the Lamborghini Revuelto; basically, anything that keeps the glorious V12 alive gets my heart racing.

The most fun you’ve had in a car?

The most fun I’ve ever had was driving a Formula car on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya — an unforgettable rush of adrenaline and joy.

Dream money-no-object car

Koenigsegg Jesko — pure, unapologetic engineering madness with soul. It’s everything a dream should be.

Who is your all-time greatest motorsport hero?

Michael Schumacher, without a doubt. His focus, drive and dominance defined an era. He wasn’t just fast, he was relentless.

Favourite road?

The drive from Lake Akaroa to Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand – a journey that takes you from water to snow. The transition from serene turquoise lakes to dramatic alpine bends feels almost poetic.

What’s on your automotive bucket list?

Building a proper restomod project, doing the Gumball 3000, the Nurburgring, and some proper ice drifting. Basically, everything that keeps the adrenaline flowing and the tyres spinning!

What would you do with your last litre of fuel?

Honestly, the thought of that kills me — I probably wouldn’t be able to use it! But if I did, I’d use that last drop to hunt for more fuel.

Your ideal 5-car garage would be?

A Rolls-Royce Phantom for ultimate luxury, a Bentley Bentayga for luxury SUV, a Ferrari Purosangue for self drive, a Lamborghini Huracan for the weekends, and an SLS AMG Black Series – it is timeless perfection.

What was your first car?

The first car I had was a Hyundai Santro Zip Drive – and I absolutely loved every bit of it. It may not have had supercar power, but it had all the excitement in the world for me back then.
