The world’s greatest batsman, Sachin Tendulkar is mad about fast cars. That’s the other side of the batting maestro we got to know on his day out with Autocar.

While relaxing with his family on a holiday in London, Sachin is all game for driving some very quick cars. On the platter is pretty exciting stuff – Merc SLS AMG, Aston Martin Vantage V12 and a Caterham R500.

Sachin is at the Chobham circuit; a 3.5km long track with twisty corners, banked curves and awesome straights. He pushes the SLS AMG past 200kph and gets blown away by the Caterham's phenomenal acceleration. 

His knowledge of 0-100kph times of various models will shock you. He has an empathy with cars; his movements are smooth, measured and he builds up speed rapidly. If there is one factor by which Sachin will judge a quick car, it is by its acceleratioin. He loves that initial neck-snapping burst of power and explosive gearshifts.
