Jaw-dropping Cars Owned by Popular South Indian Actors

In recent times, South Indian actors have started enjoying more popularity and reception among the Indian audience than ever before. However, apart from their acting prowess, the South Indian film actors have also been known for their fondness and exquisite taste for luxury cars. Following are some of the noteworthy inclusions in the Car Collection of South Indian Actors:

Junior NTR

Lamborghini Urus

Junior NTR holds the title of India’s first buyer of the Graphite Capsule Edition of the Lamborghini Urus.

This engine is paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox and churns out 650 PS of maximum power and 850 Nm of maximum torque.

Sudeep

Volvo XC90

The Volvo XC90 has earned itself a reputation as a worthy alternative to top-spec full-sized luxury SUVs from other European carmakers and is one of the safest SUVs one can buy. Sudeep owns a Volvo XC90 in a rather unpopular shade of red, which has contrast silver-finished rearview mirrors. This XC90 Inscription Luxury variant owned by Sudeep has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, which belts out 235 PS of maximum power and 480 Nm of maximum torque and is paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

BMW M5

Talk of sleeper performance cars, and the BMW M5 is one name that pops in minds of a car enthusiast. This four-door saloon is based on the regular 5-Series sedan but gets a powerful heart and many sporty bits and features and mechanical tune-ups to its suspension and brakes to make it a perfect driver’s car. The silver-coloured BMW M5 Competition in the car collection of Sudeep was gifted to him by Salmaan Khan.

Vijay

Rolls Royce Ghost

Being one of the most elusive cars in the world, owning a Rolls Royce Ghost is a matter of pride for a lot of people. However, the Ghost in the car collection of south indian actor Vijay grabbed much attention in recent times for the wrong reasons due to illegal tax evasion by the actor. Vijay owns a black-coloured Rolls Royce Ghost, which has a 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine under its hood. Paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, this engine produces 570 PS of power and 780 Nm of torque.

Ford Mustang

Vijay is also a proud owner of a black-coloured Ford Mustang. The quintessential American muscle car was available in India for a brief duration of four years and became immensely popular for its price to performance ratio, which made it one of the most affordable sports cars in India.

This engine was available with a 6-speed automatic gearbox and makes 400 PS of power and 515 Nm of torque.

Yash

Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class

While the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 has become the most sought after SUV by film actors in recent times, the popularity of its regular version, the GLS Class, cannot be ignored as well. Yash owns a previous-generation GLS Class SUV, in its GLS 350D variant. This particular variant was the range-topping diesel-powered version of the SUV, which is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox. This engine produces 255 PS of maximum power and 620 Nm of maximum torque.

Mercedes-Benz GLE 43 AMG Coupe

Another Mercedes-Benz model owned by Yash is a more affordable but more dramatic looking GLE 43 AMG Coupe. This sportier coupe version of the GLE SUV is owned by Yash in a stunning shade of red, which enhances the sporty design of the SUV even more. The Mercedes Benz GLE 43 AMG Coupe is available in India with a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine, which makes 362 PS of power and 520 Nm of torque. A 9-speed automatic transmission is offered in this SUV as standard.
