The Honda Dealer Who Owns Super Exotic Cars - Lamborghini Urus to Rolls Royce Cullinan
Recently, we came across a social media post of a person who took delivery of his brand-new Rolls-Royce Cullinan at a Honda dealership. The reason he could do that was simply because he owned the dealership. The name of the person is Vinayak Garve, and not only does he own a Honda dealership, he is also the Managing Director of the Garve Group, which is involved in multiple businesses.
We checked the social media profile of Vinayak Garve, and it looks like he is someone who loves cars. Here is a list of expensive cars that Vinayak owns in his garage:
Before we start talking about the cars, apart from the Honda dealership, the Garve Group also runs Hyundai, Skoda, Ather, Bajaj, and Tata Motors dealerships in Maharashtra.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II
We’ll start with the latest addition to Vinayak’s collection. He bought the current version of the Cullinan recently, and it is finished in a black shade. The interiors are finished in a turquoise shade with a similarly coloured coachline on the outside. The Cullinan Series II has a base price of ₹10.5 crore (ex-showroom).
It is powered by a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine that generates 571 PS and 850 Nm of peak torque. The car is mated to an automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels.
Rolls-Royce Ghost
Other than the Cullinan, Vinayak also bought a brand-new Rolls-Royce Ghost. It is a second-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost, which is easily worth over ₹9 crore. We don’t have the details about the customisations, but we know that it is finished in a black shade too.
The Ghost is powered by a 6.7-litre V12 engine that generates 563 PS and 820 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to an automatic transmission.
Mercedes-Benz G63
We have also seen images of a G63 AMG on social media. It looks like Vinayak is a big fan of the black colour on his cars—he bought the G63 AMG in the same shade. The G63 AMG is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbocharged engine that generates 576 PS and 850 Nm of peak torque. A G63 AMG would have easily cost him upwards of ₹2.5 crore.
Jaguar F-Pace
The next SUV in his garage is a Jaguar F-Pace. It has actually become a very rare SUV on our roads. Most people go for a Land Rover Range Rover and forget that even Jaguar has an SUV in their lineup. The F-Pace luxury SUV is available with both petrol and diesel engine options. The 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine generates 246 BHP and 365 Nm of peak torque. The diesel version uses a 2.0-litre engine that generates 201 BHP and 430 Nm of peak torque. The Jaguar F-Pace is priced at ₹72.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
Toyota Vellfire
The next luxury vehicle in Vinayak’s garage is a Toyota Vellfire. He owns the pre-facelift version, which many celebrities in India bought soon after its launch. The luxury MPV uses a 2.5-litre strong hybrid petrol engine that generates 190 BHP and 240 Nm of torque. This version of the Vellfire would have easily cost Vinayak around ₹1.3 crore.
Land Cruiser LC300
Another SUV in his collection is a Toyota Land Cruiser LC300. The current-generation SUV is also finished in black. The SUV is worth ₹2.5 crore and is powered by a 3.3-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine that generates 309 PS and 700 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Porsche Cayenne
Vinayak has also shared images of his Porsche Cayenne SUV on social media. It is finished in a sporty red shade. We are not sure whether it is the diesel or petrol version of the Cayenne that he owns. The SUV would have easily cost him over a crore when new.
Lamborghini Urus
He bought the Lamborghini Urus in 2021. He chose the SUV in the signature yellow shade. The Urus is one of those SUVs from the Italian sports car brand that gained popularity in no time. It is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbocharged petrol engine that generates an impressive 650 PS and 850 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and features all-wheel drive.
BMW Z4
Another expensive car in Vinayak’s collection is a BMW Z4 convertible sports car. He owns the current-generation Z4 and has shared images of the same online. This entry-level sports car from BMW costs a little over a crore. It is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder petrol engine that generates 335 PS and 500 Nm of peak torque.
Apart from this, it looks like Vinayak also owns an older-generation Audi A8 L and a current-generation Mahindra Thar SUV in his garage.
