Billionaire Adar Poonawalla Does An Ambani: Buys Land Rover Defender For His Security Guards [Video]
Billionaires in India do not drive around in a single car. They are mostly surrounded by security cars. Now, there are some billionaires who use regular Indian cars as security vehicles. However, there are some billionaires, like the CEO of Serum Institute of India, Adar Poonawalla, who use special luxury cars and SUVs. Recently, a video has been shared online in which it has been noted that Adar Poonawalla just bought a matte black Land Rover Defender for his security convoy.
The video showing Adar Poonawalla's newly bought Land Rover Defender has been shared on YouTube by Cars For You. In this short video, the vaccine man of India, Adar Poonawalla, was seen coming out of Excel Entertainment's office, which is owned by Farhan Akhtar and is located in Santacruz. It was noted that after exiting the building, he sat in his ₹7 crore Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure
Following this, it was noted that the billionaire has also bought a brand-new Land Rover Defender 110 X. This particular vehicle is finished in the menacing shade of matte black. This particular vehicle has been added to his convoy as a security vehicle, and it can be noted that Adar Poonawalla's personal security guards sat in this SUV after he was seated in his Bentley.
Adar Poonawalla's Security Land Rover Defender 110 X
The Land Rover Defender 110 X, as mentioned, has been finished in the menacing shade of matte black. It comes equipped with a massive 5.0-litre four-cylinder motor, which is capable of producing 518 bhp and 625 Nm of torque. As for the transmission, it comes equipped with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The special part about this motor is that it is supercharged.
Apart from this, Adar Poonawalla himself gets driven around in a Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure. This luxury SUV from Bentley comes paired with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine. The engine generates a maximum of 550 PS and 770 Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard.
Ambanis Have the Craziest Security Cars
Although Adar Poonawalla's Land Rover Defender 110 X being used as a security vehicle is cool, the craziest collection of security cars used by someone belongs to the Ambani family. The family spends tens of lakh rupees every month to maintain a fleet of security cars, which includes a total of seven white Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG SUVs.
Each of these G-Wagens costs ₹4 crore. Apart from these, the family owns around 5-7 Range Rover Vogues from the previous generation. Each of these Vogues costs ₹2-3 crore. In addition to these, there are also numerous Land Rover Discovery SUVs, Ford Endeavours, Toyota Fortuners, MG Glosters, and Mercedes-Benz V-Class luxury MPVs.
The family not only provides these ultra-luxury SUVs to their personal security guards, but they also offer the same cars to the police officials provided to them by the government of Maharashtra. The family has been given Z+ security, which is the highest level of security provided to the most important people in India. It is estimated that the family spends around ₹20-30 lakh per month on their security.
Apart from these, a number of family members, especially Mukesh Ambani, get driven around in a Mercedes-Benz S680 Guard, which is currently the safest vehicle that a civilian can buy. This sedan comes equipped with VPAM VR10 certification. This is currently the pinnacle of ballistic certification for civilian vehicles.
It also comes equipped with bullet- and blast-proof glass featuring multi-layer construction and a polycarbonate layer for splinter protection. Powering the Mercedes-Benz S680 Guard is a massive 6.0-litre V12 engine. This motor generates 612 bhp and a staggering 830 Nm of torque.
