Mercedes' answer to the BMW M3. The loud and brash C63 with its big engine and mind boggling torque. C63's have always been known for their ridiculous torque and their crazy straight line speed while still retaining the comfort of a Mercedes Benz. People were very worried about the turbocharged 4.4 litre V8 which was a downgrade from the big 6.2 litre masterpiece in the old C63 but it turned out to retain its animal like sound in a different but good way. Sadly it still hasn't reached the point where it can manage to beat the M3 and probably never will for the simple fact that the M3 is a perfect balance between handling and speed and the C63 is only speed. Overall it's a great car but in my opinion you can get an M3 which is cheaper and better. The funny thing is that whenever this debate of these cars come up, one company is never even mentioned due to it being so far behind- the Audi S4. At no point were people even thinking that an S4 could match a C63 or an M3 for that matter and for this I commend Mercedes.

Beautiful Rolls Royce Ghost Spotted!
The Rolls Royce Ghost, the car which does almost everything for you, a house on wheels. It takes lazy to a whole new meaning by even having a button to close the door. It is the king of luxury which comes at a kingly price, about 4.5 crores without taxes so it'll set you back a good 6 crores by the time it gets on the road. Having a BMW V12 engine, it isn't slow at all. It wafts to a comfortable speed so you can watch sunsets while sipping your evening coffee. The level of comfort achieved in this car is on par with the best beds out there. You will not feel a single bump on the road even if you tried hard enough. I love this car and nothing else comes close to it in terms of comfort or refinement.

New Audi R8 V10 Spotted
Saw this brand new beautiful Audi R8 V10. It is now evolved as a car so much so that people say it's better than its half brother - the Lamborghini Huracan. With an instant double clutch gearbox and practicality, the car is almost unbeatable in its category. It is such well balanced car. I'm a huge fan of the new futuristic looking design of the car as well, it looks new and looks like something out of a star wars movie. Really think that this car has had enough of living under the Huracan's shadow and it's the R8's time to shine.

Ferrari showroom visit in Mumbai.
My visit to the Ferrari showroom in Mumbai. Saw a beautiful 488 GTB and a California T both up for sale at ridiculous prices but on sale regardless. The California T and the 488 are the replacement models of the California and the 458 respectively and they are also the introduction into the world of turbocharging with countless opportunities. Making the car more economical and more powerful just seems like the way to go for the future. Previous Ferraris would give an average of roughly 2 km/l whereas this 488 GTB on paper can give upto 9! The future of cars is definitely using either turbocharging or hybrid technology to boost economical measures or performance. The only issue with this is that this adds a lot of weight to the car.

Mercedes S63 AMG Coupé Spotted
The 2015 S63 AMG coupé. It is the perfect combination of speed and luxury. This car has been the most awaited car in the 2015 Geneva motor show. This car is an exact combination of the AMG madness and the luxury of the S-Class. Having the new 5.5 litre turbocharged V8 engine , you will not have to be worried about not having a noise but should be worried about whether you will be able to hear it inside the car. The car has 577 horsepower and about 660 pound feet of torque which gets this car to 60 mph in about 3.7 seconds. The car weighs a lot though, it weighs about the same as the Bentley Continental GT. Mercedes have built this car to destroy the competitors like Bentley and the Rolls-Royce Coupés. I think this car, with its beautiful styling and its sheer speed is one of the perfect GT cars and with the technology taken straight from the new S-Class , it could not get any better.

Aston Martin DB9 Spotted
This beautiful pearl white Aston Martin DB9 was spotted by a friend. Aston Martins are always known for their sense of class and speed as well. The perfect GT car. It has a 5.9 litre V12 which makes the most noise coming out of that exhaust. If I had to get a comfortable and fast car for long journeys or even short ones, I would pick an Aston Martin for sure.
