What would you do if you had U.S. $10 million? You will
acquire a piece of land in Mumbai and invest in bullish Indian stock market.
You may also think of starting a business as 10 million Of Uncle Sam’s currency
is a significant amount. But, there will be people like me, who will acquire
original size versions of wall posters.
So, here is a list of the things I will buy if that kind of
money is at my disposal.
1. Pagani Huayra
All time favourite car. Designed by an Argentine, the car is
named after the “God of Winds”. Horacio Pagani launched it in 2012 as a
replacement for the insane Zonda. The former Lamborghini employee powered it
with a Mercedes-AMG’s 5980 cc V12 engine. 720 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque propel
this rocket from standstill to 100 kph in 3.2 seconds and give it a top speed
of 372 kph. The car is hand crafted in Pagani’s factory in Italy. The
performance numbers are the second best thing about it. Pagani designed the rear
view mirrors keeping in mind a woman’s eyelashes and the whole body resembles
God’s best creation’s curvy figure. It is available in limited numbers with a
staggering price tag of U.S. $1.6 million.
2. Porsche 918 Spyder
Drop dead gorgeous looks- check, incredible performance-
check, hybrid technology- check and hefty price tag- double check. Porsche's first supercar equipped with hybrid technology gives its counterparts a run for
their money. Armed with a 4.6 litre petrol engine and two lithium ion
batteries, the car has a total power output of 887 bhp and 1275 Nm of torque. That
is the amount of power you get from 9 Volkswagen Polos. 0-100 kph take 2.5
seconds and the car tops out at 340 kph. McLaren and Ferrari offer similar
hybrid cars for comparatively larger numbers. Only 918 of these will exit
Porsche’s factory at Stuttgart, Germany. Price starts from U.S. $845,000.
3. Lamborghini Veneno Roadster.
Number first. Less than 15 are made. Each costs $4.5 million.
Top speed is 356 kph. 0-100 kph in 2.9 seconds. You just can’t stop staring at
it. The advanced version of Lamborghini Aventador houses the same engine but
produces 50 more horses. Revealed at Geneva Motor Show in 2013, this was built
to celebrate the Italian manufacturer’s 50th anniversary. There is a
person in the world who has two of these.
4. W Motors- Lykan Hypersport
Yes, the one from Fast and Furious 7. Powered by a 3.7 litre
engine producing 770 bhp, the car reaches 100 kph in 2.8 seconds and is claimed
to have a top speed of 385 kph. The headlights are embedded with diamonds and I
will have the option of replacing the diamonds with rubies if I order one. Only
7 examples are made.
This was my U.S. $10 million garage. Which cars will you get
with that sort of money?
