The Mumbai police recently confiscated 41 exceptionally high-value vehicles from the parking area of Mukesh Ambani's shopping complex. The Bandra Kurla Complex police station has registered a First Information Report (FIR) against individuals who own 41 luxury cars, SUVs, and sports cars.

Confiscated: Ferraris Lamborghinis

Mumbai police have taken possession of a collection of high-end luxury vehicles, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and others, from the parking facility of Jio World Drive Mall, owned by Mukesh Ambani. Reports stated that it is important to mention that none of these 41 luxury cars are associated with any member of the Ambani family.
While Mukesh Ambani's shopping mall has gained attention recently for the inauguration of new stores, it has now become a topic of widespread interest due to the buzz surrounding a planned luxury car rally, featuring 41 high-end vehicles, including Ferraris and Lamborghinis, scheduled for January 26.

Reports also shared that an event and social media company orchestrated a Republic Day rally on January 26. Regrettably, this event took place without obtaining prior approval from the Mumbai police. It's important to note that there's currently a prohibition order in effect in Mumbai from January 23 to February 6.
The scheduled rally, set to commence at 6 am from Jio World Drive Mall in BKC, had initially anticipated the participation of a minimum of 100 cars. However, only half of the expected vehicles were present. All the participants assembled at Jio World Drive Mall on Friday with the intention of traveling along the MTHL route and eventually returning to BKC. Details for this news were reported by The Indian Express.

There were 41 luxury cars, including Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, BMW, Porsche, and Lamborghini, were seized by law police. In connection with this, an individual on the social media platform X raised concerns about rule violations committed by the luxury car owners.

The police's social media team promptly informed senior officers, leading the BKC police station to address the situation and penalize the vehicle owners. Senior Inspector Raghunath Kadam of the BKC police station stated, that upon responding to the call, the authorities questioned the vehicle owners about their permission for the rally.

Subsequently, the owners acknowledged that they had not obtained any permission. As a result, a case was filed against them under the appropriate legal sections for organizing a rally without authorization.

Ferrari, Lamborghini's How Expensive Are They

According to GearShifters, Ferrari and Lamborghini usually occupy the top two positions in the realm of the most expensive vehicles. Yet, upon closer examination, one may notice that Lamborghini manufactures cars at an exceptionally high cost compared to Ferrari.

For instance, when Lamborghini introduced their new Aventador in 2012, it was readily available for a price exceeding $500,000. Today, Lamborghini continually releases new Aventador models, such as the Roadster, S, SV, and SVJ, each with ever-increasing Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRPs).

Not to mention, exclusive models like the Veneno and Aventador J are not even included in this discussion. Ferrari, on the other hand, also produces expensive automobiles. However, their typical line of 488 models may be slightly more affordable than a brand-new Aventador.

Moreover, Ferrari car prices in India vary: The most affordable Ferrari in the Indian market is the Portofino, priced at $3.50 million, whereas the SF90 Stradale comes in at $7.50 million. The latest addition to the Ferrari range is the 296 GTB, with a retail price of $5.40 million.
