Reminiscent of F9’s set, the Indian Raymond Group boss has an impressive collection of luxury cars, including the V8 Aerial Atom, one of a handful in the world

He flashes his Ferrari love on Instagram and has a vintage Mustang for drag racing, a classic Hot Rod and a Nissan GT-R that reaches 100km/h in 2.5 seconds

Businessman and petrolhead: that’s probably the best way to describe Gautam Singhania, chairman and managing director of India’s Raymond Group. With an estimated net worth of US$1.4 billion, he has all the cash he could want to splurge on what he loves most: collecting, modifying and driving cars.

In fact, he loves cars so much that he started India’s first Super Car Club back in 2009. The Economic Times says the number of cars in Singhania’s collection is unknown, but it is common knowledge that it includes many luxury models. In his garage he has a sign saying, “a man’s home is his castle but his garage is his sanctuary”, reports The Economic Times. On his Instagram account, the businessman describes himself as passionate about cars, planes and yachts.

The businessman is the brains behind the Mumbai Parx Super Car Show, where luxury and exotic cars are flaunted on a racecourse for visitors to ogle.

From vintage beauties to speed machines, here’s a look at Singhania’s impressive collection.

Hot Rod

According to GQ India, Singhania owns a prized American Hot Rod, a classic car that has been stripped down and souped up to increase its speed and acceleration.
