What car or bike do you use and why?
I drive a Ferrari 296 GTS, a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder and a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on the weekends. For daily trips in Mumbai’s busy traffic, I usually go for the BMW iX or the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class because they’re super comfy.
What’s next on your wish list?
I’m excited about getting the Ferrari Purosangue next.
The most fun you’ve had in a car/bike?
I can’t pick just one time because driving always makes me happy. I love the thrill and the feeling of these powerful machines.
Favourite / Dream money no object car/bike?
Right now, it’s the McLaren 750S that I want the most.
Rohit says his 296 GTS had to be red.
Who is your all-time greatest motorsport hero?
I only followed F1 during my school days, at Michael Schumacher’s prime. His 7th season in 2004 was phenomenal. Today, my commitments limit my motorsport engagement.
Favourite Road?
I really enjoy driving on the new Atal Setu in Mumbai. Also, night drives never fail to amaze me.
What’s on your automotive bucket list?
Acquiring a vintage car has always been a dream and I also want to own a muscle car like the Ford Mustang GT or a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.
What would you do with your last litre of fuel?
Ideally, I would like drive with it in Leh, a destination I’ve longed to visit.
Your ideal 5-car/bike garage would be?
Ford Mustang GT
Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
McLaren 750s
Bentley Bentayga
Ferrari Purosangue
What was your first Car/bike?
My first car was the Maruti Suzuki Swift.
