The best part living in an economy as diverse as ours is the fact that the options are growing by the day. This is happening not just in the sectors where you see large volumes, but excitingly enough, it’s also happening in the sectors that see limited action (for now). As our economy grows, big league car manufacturers like Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls-Royce and the like, are finding it increasingly attractive to partake in our journey.

All this means that we’re getting access to cars that have never before been seen or driven on Indian roads, and as an enthusiast, nothing could be more delightful to hear. In light of this kind of progress, though, it’s imperative that you, dear buyer, be completely aware of what you’re getting into.

The process of buying a Lamborghini or an Aston Martin is no different from buying a humble Nissan Micra. Whatever the case, it’s always recommended that you walk into a decision fully armed with all the facts, so that there’s little room for surprises later on. After all, it’s you that is going to have to live with the vehicle here on out.

This is where we step in. We’re all about making your life easier (someone had to do it, and we graciously accepted!), and that was the logic behind making this booklet. What you’ll find up ahead in the following pages is essentially a handy guide that you’d need before diving into a purchase. We’ve filled each car’s description with a write-up about what we believe the car has to offer, and what its best traits are. We didn’t stop there, though. Are you more comfortable making a decision on cold, hard numbers? We’ve got you covered. The spec-box attached to each car will give you a quick run-down of what you need to know. A highlight reel, if you will. It’s all very informative and vital, really. What we will admit to is the fact that we had a fair amount of fun putting this together, so what you’ll read is a fair effort at trying to encapsulate that.

Still don’t buy it? We’ve hunted down real supercar owners and asked them for their verdict on their car of choice. We’re a thorough lot, in that sense. Just remember, the fuel that you use to power these cars is every bit as important, so be sure to fill up on Power99, because it’s the best out there. Till then, happy reading! And drive safe!

 

 

HP Power 99 Petrol

The life of a petrolhead traditionally has been tough in the Indian context. First, we have to prove most around us why the mere sight or mention of particular cars make us lit up like a toddler seeing his favourite ice cream. Then there is a matter of a lot of cars we drool over not making to our country, Officially. And the ones that do, wear atrocious price tags due to our duty structure. But then, a few among us does go on to achieve their dreams. However, historically even those lucky few haven’t gotten to had an easy life being a petrolhead. It is simply because, traditionally, you never got the right fuel for these thoroughbreds in the country. Until now, that is. Petrolheads rejoice! Hindustan Petroleum has launched its ‘poWer 99’petrol and it’s like all our prayers have been answered.

Now the HP power 99 has been in the testing phase for almost a couple of years now. HP started selling it in Bangalore back in 2017 and graduated towards Pune after a while. Now that HP has understood that there is indeed a good demand for the power 99, they have recently launched it in Mumbai. Now, they have plans to reach to the heart and wallets of petrolheads of Delhi, Gurgaon and Chandigarh soon as well.

A quick look in what makes the HP poWer 99 special, we would like to tell you that the 99 stands for the petrol Octane value. This makes it the highest rated Petrol fuel available in the country and has been created specifically for the supercar and superbike owners of the country. This fuel exceeds the Octane number specification of IS 2796:2017 for premium petrol. Like any petrolhead would tell you, higher octane value directly translates into a fuel that can withstand higher compression without detonating. This means that the HP poWer 99 can withstand a greater rise in temperature during compression without automatically igniting. This not only lets the engine makes its best power but also negates the possibility of engine knocking and consequent damage. Moreover, its also helps in better combustion and as a result reduced emission. In fact, it comes under Green Fuel and has been approved by United States Environmental Protection Agency.

So now HP has finally listened to our collective prayers, let have a look at some of the cars that would happily sip into this and burn some rubber!

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

Audi R8

Cars have been my love since childhood. I drive an Audi R8 V10. Has a beautiful-sounding, very loud Larini exhaust system. Rides on forged ADV 1 wheels. Love all the drama that happens in the cabin! Again, I love cars so much that I put my skills to the best use and developed my own styling kit for the R8. Don’t like keeping anything stock!

I love the Ferrari 458. The NA V8 for its pure F1-like sound (when clubbed with an Inconel exhaust). That transmission too! Has all the F1 DNA. Pure driving thrills! Should definitely own one soon!

Owning a super car makes you feel like a super hero here in India. It turns everybody’s heads. From the young to the old! But what I like the most is the smile it brings on people’s faces when they see it. They look at it with so much awe. I sincerely hope everyone who sees such beauties are inspired to do good things in life and live that dream of owning what they love and doing what they love!

About driving around India. It’s not so bad at all! And with planned road trips, short or long it’s always such a joy driving! Especially in packs! The super car community in India is growing stronger and larger and definitely spreading the passion!  And yes, the track day culture is really picking up in India. Driving in a controlled environment provides the safest and best driving thrills. So more reasons to own sports cars and super cars!

With great fuel comes great performance. And every high performance engine needs the right fuel for it to perform at its full potential. Power 99 does just that! If you are an enthusiast you will really feel the difference a high-octane fuel like Power 99 makes to driving.

Lambo Urus

We all love to drive machines that defy physics. And for that reason, my Lamborghini Urus gets a head-start in every aspect in comparison to other high-performance SUVs. It might not be a surprise that I love to drive, but with the Urus, I don’t even have to lose my peace of mind over bad roads. And the way it picks up speed is not unlike a range-topping supercar. But despite all that one might wonder if living with such a performance-hungry beast is a challenge in India. The short answer to that is a resounding no! As long as you have access to good roads and fuel that helps the engine run optimally. In my case, Power 99 has been a great companion to the Urus. Not only does it enable my Urus to perform at its peak, with it comes an assurance that the fuel is high-quality — and high-octane, too. Exactly what the Urus deserves.

911 Carrera 4S

When I was in school I was browsing through my father’s copy of a business magazine and came across a double page advertisement. On one side was a small “green car” and on the other page was in small type – ‘success’ – the car was a 911. So from then the dream was always to own a 911. After my first job with KLM I was able to afford my first car – a Maruti Gypsy. From spending hours at Sion to source cheap parts or fancy accessories or getting a free flow exhaust those were fun days. One of my favourite cars was the Ford Escort with a 1.6-litre petrol engine. Regretfully that was also when I filled petrol (on a national highway) and within a short while understood the importance of what you fill – the petrol was adulterated and my car and me suffered. Finally Porsche was launched in India – but the fuel was not good enough and it was a real dampener. Today with high octane fuels such as Power 99 readily available I could buy a Porsche and run it without having to worry about bad quality fuel. I have enjoyed my 991 – 911 Carrera 4S. The engine runs smoothly and you can fully exploit the powerful, highly tuned engines.

There were times, growing up in mumbai, long American cars, beautiful air-cooled Volkwagens and the quintessential Mercedes plied the streets, providing a visual break to the Kaali-Peeli taxis. Accompanying dad on his international travels and catching wind of Porsches, BMWs, Land Rovers and Datsuns engraved the motoring spirit on to my soul.

Moving to Bangalore and having parking space to my benefit (so far so good) and quick access to the most scenic and beautiful roads around southern India has led me to believe and live a philosophy which clearly dictates #nogaragequeens. The value of an automobile is not realised while squatting in its parking lot. They need and beg to be driven to its best, after all there’s a reason the redline figures on the instrument console.

Iconic cars & specific models such as game changers in the automotive world became mainstay at the home garage. These machines either had brilliant design or breathtaking engineering and more often possessed both qualities. Care for the cars is second skin when they are purposefully used regularly on our highways. Breakdown means downtime and the only way I know to bounce out of it is adding genuine parts, optimum lubricants and the best possible fuel available on the market as on date. Power 99 has saved the day for many of us and helped us in extracting better performance from our supercars.

BMW M2

I’ve had a connection with cars since I was born. I am currently lucky enough to own a BMW M2 Competition. My motto when it comes to cars is simple, ‘Pay for the engineering’. Thoroughly engineered cars are always more fun! I see cars as a blank canvas to create something unique, something which is more functional than aesthetic. My favourite car is the Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Every performance car has a minimum octane rating it’s supposed to run, 99 octane fuel meets most of them. Availability of Power 99 has been a huge boon for us enthusiasts. It has given my cars power like never before. It helps a performance car run how the engineers intended and beyond!
