6 rare supercars owned by Indian celebrities

There is a particular kind of celebrity garage that stops being about transport and starts feeling like a private motor show. In India, that world is filled by cricket stars, film icons, and the occasional outlier with a taste for machinery that is equal parts art and velocity. Some of these cars are limited-run specials; others are simply so uncommon on Indian roads that they earn the label “rare” by sheer presence. Either way, they tell a story about ambition, taste, and the thrill of owning something most people only see in posters. Scroll down to know more.

Virat Kohli’s garage is well known for its Audi bias, but the standout remains the Audi R8 LMX, a special-edition version that Audi says was limited to 99 units worldwide. When the car launched in India, it was priced at Rs 2.97 crore, and reports at the time said only four units were allotted for the country. In other words, this is not just a supercar; it is a supercar with a production run short enough to feel almost ceremonial.

MS Dhoni’s garage has always leaned toward machines that prioritise performance over theatrics, and the Nissan GT-R fits that philosophy perfectly. Often called “Godzilla” in automotive circles, the GT-R is not a limited-run exotic in the traditional sense, but its presence in India has always been rare and enthusiast-driven. Dhoni was among the early high-profile owners to bring it into the spotlight, and the car’s reputation for raw, track-bred performance makes it feel far more serious than its understated design suggests.

Shah Rukh Khan’s garage has always reflected scale, and nothing captures that better than the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Often regarded as the pinnacle of luxury motoring, the Phantom is less about speed and more about presence, craftsmanship, and quiet authority. Its cabin is designed like a moving suite, with hand-finished materials, near-silent ride quality, and an attention to detail that borders on obsessive. In India, it remains a rare sight, reserved for a very small circle of owners.

Prabhas owns one of the more striking Lamborghinis on this list: the Aventador S Roadster. It is often noted as being among the last convertible Aventadors delivered in India, which adds a layer of scarcity to a car already famous for its V12 drama and scissor-door swagger. That combination of timing and temperament makes it feel like a collector’s item as much as a performance machine. It is the sort of car that does not just arrive; it announces itself.

Kartik Aaryan’s McLaren GT brings a different flavour of exclusivity. It is often described as a super sports car priced at over Rs 4.5 crore. Unlike some of the more theatrical exotics on this list, the McLaren GT is built around long-legged speed and everyday usability by supercar standards, which makes it a quietly sophisticated addition to a celebrity garage. It is fast, rare enough to turn heads, and understated enough to suggest the owner knows exactly what he is doing.

Dulquer Salmaan’s Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has a different kind of cult status. The car’s gullwing doors and naturally aspirated V8 made it one of Mercedes’ most memorable modern performance machines. It is not simply expensive; it is distinctive in a way that still feels cinematic. Among celebrity-owned cars, the SLS AMG has the advantage of being instantly recognizable without looking overdesigned, which may be exactly why it continues to age so gracefully.
