Parx Super Car Show 2012 gets a glittering start in Mumbai

Parx Super Car Show 2012, organised by the Super Car Club (SCC) in association with Autocar India, took off to a roaring start with excited Mumbaikars vying for a glimpse of the 100-odd super cars displayed at Riding School, Mahalakshmi Race
Course today.

The auto beauties then paraded the city’s arterial streets, covering Bandra Worli Sea Link and the Western Express Highway until Kalina before returning to the venue, amidst a round of applause from visitors at the show.

Gautam Singhania, CMD, Raymond Ltd. and Founding Chairman of the SCC led the entourage of supercars, and handed over trophies to the most desirable cars at the end of the show. The Jaguar XVRJ, Aston V8 and the Bentley Super Sports were awarded as the most desirable cars.

According to Gautam Singhania, one of India’s pioneering Super Car enthusiasts, “The Parx Super Car Show series could be said to have triggered the interest for super cars in India, not just amongst auto enthusiasts but also among the common man. In 2009 when we started the Club, we saw that interest in super cars was driven predominantly by individual passion. Today, within three years, we are witnessing a growing drive amongst super car owners to participate in similar format shows, and a larger following of auto enthusiasts who are tracking the growth of SCC and its events in various cities. Such growing interest in super cars in India is very encouraging. To cater to this interest this year, we have more than 80 super cars participating in the show. ”

“As India’s leading auto magazine, it is our endeavour to create such experiences for car enthusiasts and we are delighted that the Parx Super Car Show in only its fourth year has grown dramatically," adds Hormazd Sorabjee, Editor, Autocar India.

Gautam Singhania further said, “We are receiving innumerable requests from proud owners of super cars across India to organize similar shows in their respective cities. We hope to grow the Parx Super Car Show from strength to strength and take it across many cities in India as possible, thus strengthening our connect with other super car enthusiasts across the country. This growing interest for super cars in India is also reflected in the increasing number of super car manufacturers entering the country and the F1 track that is now coming up in Noida.”
