The super car market is expected to see a slowdown in India as high duty structure, lack of proper infrastructure and maintenance facilities are forcing super car enthusiasts to shelve their purchase plans.
“Unfortunately, the super car market is very small in India. There has been a dip in sales due to high duty structure and lack of proper infrastructure. Maintenance of vehicles is another major issue, which the big brands should try to address,” said Gautam Singhania, chairman of Supercar Club while announcing the 6th edition of India’s only super car show to be held in Mumbai.
The Super Car Club has currently 300 members from across the country. Mr Singhania said that the show aims to bring together all owners at one end so that they could discuss the issues and challenges faced by the members besides giving an opportunity to all super car enthusiasts to witness the brigade of adrenaline pumping marvels.
The American HOT ROD – Rebel will be a special one of all the super cars that will be driven on the road for the first time in India. Hot Rods are typically American cars with large engines modified for linear speed.
Other iconic cars, which will be on display, include Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley and Rolls Royce amongst others from across India. This time, the super club hopes to showcase around 60-70 world class brands in the one-day super car show on January 12.
Mr Singhania said that around half a million car enthusiasts had turned up for the super car show in 2013. “Post its launch in April 2009, every single year the number of super cars on display has increased,” he added.
