The anticipation is electric as Virat Kohli steps onto the grand stage of the Indian Premier League final for the fourth time with Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Will this be the year that King Kohli finally lifts the trophy for his franchise? Only time will reveal the answer.
But before the players stride into the world’s largest cricket arena, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, let’s shift gears and take a peek inside Kohli’s dazzling car collection. From a fleet of Audis to the ultimate in luxury with Bentley, Kohli’s garage is as impressive as his cricketing legacy. Buckle up and enjoy the ride through the superstar’s swanky dream machines.
Audi R8 LMX
Being an Audi ambassador, let’s kick start with one of the most track-focused and radical cars from the German luxury automobile maker, the R8 LMX. There were only 99 examples manufactured in the world, and the former Indian cricket skipper is a proud owner.
The R8 LMX was the first car in the world to be equipped with laser high-beam lights. According to Audi, it could sprint from 0 – 100 kmph in 3.4 seconds. Packed with a 5.2-litre, V10 engine, it produced 562 bhp and 540 Nm of torque. Launched in 2015, the R8 LMX was launched at Rs 2.97 crore, ex-showroom.
Audi R8 V10 Plus
Kohli decided to up the ante with the extreme R8 V10 Plus, which is even more powerful than the R8 LMX. The sports car is powered by a 5.2-litre V10 engine producing 602 bhp and 570Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch S-tronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. Audi pulled the plug on the R8 in 2024 after a span of 18 years in production. The R8 V10 Plus was priced at Rs 2.72 crore, ex-showroom.
Bentley Continental GT
The Continental GT is where style, the epitome of luxury and performance, comes together. The previous generation model of the Continental GT, which Kohli owns, was available in two engine options, the V8 version has a 3.996-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, while the Speed model features a 5.950-litre W12 engine. According to reports, the ace batter owns the V8 version, which costs anything from Rs 3.3 crore to Rs 4.5 crore, based on the customisation.
Bentley Flying Spur
The Flying Spur is one of the most regal luxury nameplates that have been crafted after Rolls-Royce. It is reported to be the most expensive vehicle in the former RCB captain’s garage
Don’t get fooled by its all-class look as it packs a punch with two heavy hitters, the 3993cc, 4-litre V8 petrol and the mammoth 5998cc, 6-litre W12 petrol. The former has an output of 500 bhp and 660 Nm with a top speed of 295 kmph. The W12 model has a whopping 626 bhp and 900 Nm of torque with a top speed of 320 kmph. Kohli reportedly owns the V8 model, which costs around Rs 5.5 crore.
Range Rover
The Range Rover is a must-have vehicle for celebrities, entrepreneurs and politicians. The cricketer’s white Range Rover Vogue has been frequently spotted and snapped by photographers. The Range Rover Vogue would be around Rs 2.5 crore, depending on the customization.Â
