Most unlikely places to spot an LP700...

How very narrow minded of you both.
Why is this unlikely?
Since everything is relative, the car itself is neither cheap nor expensive.
I wasn't aware petrolhead/price had much to do with each other.
Oh do sod off. Narrow minded? I take offence at that. Why is this unlikely?

I've lived in Delhi for 6 months, and in that time I've driven most of the roads in the city centre. They are all, ALL completely f**ked. Holes, massive speed bumps, the works. Plus, the driving and traffic is utterly terrible and 99% of cars are beaten up.
Therefore, i would say that it stands to reason that Delhi is not the best place to own an LP700. Add in the fact that it costs Rs375 Lakh (c.£520,000) here and it makes it very unlikely.
Plus the majority of the major players are in Mumbai, as are most of the supercars. There or Chandigarh which either way isn't Delhi.
To summarise, taketh ye neck, and inwardly wind it.

Indeed. Living in Delhi for 6 months pretty much wraps up the argument for me, puts him in a much better position to comment.
Let's go easy on the porkster, maybe he watches too much Bollywood so thinks india is full of fit birds, Kung Fu expert hunks and lovely asphalt roads!
Cars have 2 plates by law. Not really sure of the details of this car yet.
There was a HUGE wedding getting ready at the Imperial, so this may have been used as the wedding car. I know a guy in Delhi was expecting an LP700 so it could be his. He owns a big exotic car dealership, hence the rear plate.
But as with Dubai, the super rich can get away with anything here.

I see it doesn't have the obligatory HORN OK PLEASE. That would make me smile!
For anyone who hasn't spent time in India there's an Ice Roads Trucker Worlds Most Dangerous Roads programme on channel 5 at the moment that recently showed them driving out of Delhi and up to the North. Well worth watching as all the truckers aeem to be having a breakdown at the driving conditions in India. I always have a drver when I go as do most westerners. It's for a good reason.

I have been to India more times than I can count. I have traveled extensively in all the major cities and the countryside. The roads everywhere are total garbage, and filled to overflowing with drivers who seemingly have a deathwish. The only place you could realistically drive an Aventador in India is on one of the very short stretches of brand new dual carriageway which exist. Even then you would have to watch out for camels, horse and traps, and those weird people-carrier-cum-plough things that are like mobile chicanes, most of which would be coming towards you on your side of the road!
So, yes, very unlikely place to see one of the fastest cars in the world.

The roads must have deteriorated since India had the most Rolls Royces.
Unfortunately the amount of traffic has gone through the roof. Everybody wants the next thingBike-scooter-motorbike-sml car- larger car- 4x4- imported 4x4 and so on.
Pretty much everybkey I have met there aspires to an imported car. Even in rural areas they are aware of brands such as Ferrari .
