A Dream 5 car garage. God knows how many times this has been a point of discussion among friends.
BHPian JDMBOI recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Every petrolhead has a list of dream cars that they want to own, here are a few of mine.
Share yours:
- Maximum 5 cars.
- Irrespective of availability in India.
- Price doesn’t matter.
NISMO 400R. (Nissan Skyline GTR)
A special edition of the R33 was introduced in 1995, named as Nismo 400R, with 400 and R standing for horsepower of the engine and for racing respectively. Overall development and planning were by NISMO (Nissan Motorsports International). It has a 2.8L RB26 instead of the usual 2.6L RB26. A total of 44 cars were made.

Porsche Carrera GT
The Porsche Carrera GT is a mid-engine sports car that was manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 2004 to 2006. Carrera GT pushed technological boundaries beyond any supercar of that time. Its beautiful profile encompassed a staggeringly powerful 612PS V10 engine (one of the best sounding V10 along with LFA) that was a direct descendant of the 10-cylinder race engine developed for the Le Mans 24-hours of 2000. Built as an exclusive run of only 1,270 vehicles.

Lamborghini Bat LP640 (gated manual)
Lamborghini Murciélago is a sports car produced by Italian automotive manufacturer Lamborghini between 2001 and 2010. In March 2006, Lamborghini unveiled an updated version of the Murciélago at the Geneva Motor Show: the Murciélago LP 640. With displacement now increased to 6.5 litres, the engine was rated at 640 PS (471 kW; 631 hp) at 8,000 rpm. LP stands for Longitudinale Posteriore (Engine position) 640 is horsepower.
Lexus LFA
The Lexus LFA is a two-seat sports car manufactured by Lexus, the luxury car division of Toyota. The production version of the Lexus LFA features a 412 kW (560 PS; 553 hp) V10 engine developed in collaboration with Yamaha exclusive to the car and a body made from carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP). The LFA went into production in late 2010. A circuit-tuned variant debuted in 2012 and was one of the most expensive Japanese road cars ever built. Production ended in December 2012 with 500 cars produced, the final car being a Nürburgring Package model.
Ferrari Challenge Stradale
The Ferrari 360 is a two-seater, mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car manufactured by Italian automotive manufacturer Ferrari from 1999 until 2005. The Challenge Stradale was, in fact, directly derived from the 360 Modena. That said, the technicians had removed anything that wasn’t strictly functional to performance or safety, resulting in a brilliantly light and fast Berlinetta with a very definite racing set-up. To achieve that drastic weight reduction, the technicians worked on three overlapping areas: materials, construction technologies and overall optimisation of the design. In total, the Challenge Stradale is up to 110 kg lighter than the standard Modena if all the lightweight options are specified such as deleted radio, lexan (plexiglass) door windows and Alcantara fabric (instead of the leather option)
- Engine – V8
- Total Displacement – 3586.20 cc
- Maximum Power – 425 hp at 8500 rpm
- Top Speed – 300 km/h
These are not the ones who are going to break the records but going to give more smiles per mile.
Here’s what GTO had to say on the matter:
Nice thread for a Sunday evening! My dream cars:
Dodge Challenger – the ultimate, timeless, fast (in a straight line), handsome and comfortable muscle car. I just can’t get over the looks. To me, the desirability quotient of a well-equipped 8-cylinder Challenger is right up there with supercars from Italy:
Ferrari 488. I’m not buying all that nostalgia about the 458 and its NA V8. I’m all for turbochargers, and modern tech and find the 488 to be better looking too:
With age, your choices get more practical from the Indian POV. And this is the best SUV in the world IMHO. A “dream car” you can drive from Bombay to Goa:
A W126 500 / 560SEL:
Mercedes is really Mercedes:
A 911. Any 911 just for its heritage, classic styling & daily useable performance. The same formula for decades only improved:
The W222 S-Class. IMHO, this car is going down in history as one of the “all-time greats” with enthusiasts, just like the W140:
No kidding. As an Indian Jeeper, a useable Jeep with performance, AC & amenities, a convertible top and a great AT has always been a dream for me. I simply L-O-V-E this car:
Of course, I still dream about cars like the 288 GTO, Cooper S (what a perfect pocket rocket for India), M5, Defender etc.
The best part is, I am working toward owning some of the cars on this list.
