The static screen can be seen from 8:30 am and the cars will leave at around 10:30 am for a parade that will stretch from Bandra over the Worli Sea Link, and back. There will be around 50 vehicles at the program that will vary from the 70s to the 2000s. Here are 5 iconic Modern Classics you can get up close and personal with at this Sundays Rally.1. Bentley Brooklands 2009This is a car that still gives me a warm fuzzy glow. Leather lined, filled with chrome, a fastback-like roof and, naturally, the 6 and 3/4th litre V8. Just enjoyed the looks back in the day and, if anything, the low-slung profile looks even much better today– long bonnet, brief front overhang, the low roofline and those steeply raked windshields. The engine didnt rev high, however it was creamy smooth and you seemed like you were being nudged in the rear by a runaway locomotive once the torque came flooding in. How much torque? 1050Nm. Yeah, the torquiest Crewe-built V8. And I simply like the cockpit console and the interior theme, which is essentially continued till today.2. Rolls-Royce Silver SeraphI remember blogging about this cars and truck, however have not seen it in the flesh, ever. I rather liked the muscular lines, particularly the way in which the long bonnet seemed to expand from the tight headlight and Pantheon grille. And it had a V12 under the hood, the very first one since the Phantom III in 1939. This engine came from BMW and was one of the best looking engines, dressed immaculately with evenly dispersed intake runners. It didnt waft, nevertheless, or progress effortlessly as every Roller should. The BMW 5.4 V12 needed to be revved previous 3,900 rpm to make any real power, which meant no uncomplicated thrust. The car is rare. Armament maker Vickers sold Rolls-Royce to BMW, and the latter got in the brand-new Phantom right after, so just 1,570 were built.3. Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead CoupeRolls called them doctors coupes back in the day. Shorter wheelbase cars and trucks that it would sell to medical professionals on call so that they might get to their patients quicker, or some such. The Phantom Drophead Coupe, however, is extremely different. Probably the most indulgent form of personal transportation you can consider, it is a big, beefy land luxury yacht and comes with that Phantom cliff nose in advance and luxury yacht like wood panelling. As indulgent as you can picture on the inside and constructed on a shorter wheelbase, this is a special cars and truck. It likewise came with a V12, but this one was better and the Phantom as an outcome felt easily rapid. Check out the special design of the quarter glass and the way in which Rolls designers made something so bulky eventually look so stylish; especially in profile.4. Aston Martin 71 DBSOh my god! I remember seeing this car for the very first time on our roadways and chasing it down, in a traffic jam. It just appeared like it had actually landed from a different world. The front looks just enormous, like a hooded cobra all set to strike. I enjoy the flying buttress rear, and the way in which the fastback back has been so neatly incorporated with the remainder of the lines of the cars and truck. No 2 cars are the exact same as these cars and trucks were hand made. Early vehicles got the rasping 4.0 six-cylinder rather of a V8, and many had tough to cure– at the time– fuel injection systems. Still, there are numerous services today and the vehicle seems in great nick. Eagerly anticipating hearing the engine.5. Citroen DSThey call her the Goddess, and thats apt. So much technology, incisive and bold styling and it plainly is a car like no other. The DS in reality was so renowned, Citroen developed a different modern brand name in its honour. However Rome (or Paris here) wasnt integrated in a day, and the DS, obviously, over a decade to develop. It had a lot new tech and so many firsts after all. It was the first standardized automobile with disc brakes and it included all independent suspension that utilized a hydro pneumatic self-levelling system. The system is so special, you do not require a jack to change a tyre, the vehicle simply holds itself up. Its also got power steering and a semi-automatic gearbox. Even the style of the interior is quirky.other and distinctively french cars Ill be eagerly anticipating seeing up close are the first Audi RS4, the one with the muscular V8 under the hood, a real military-spec Humvee or the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), theres Fords square-rigged legend the F– 150 pickup (what a style icon), an R33 Nissan GTR or the original Godzilla and an E39 BMW M5.Also See: Modern Classic Rally returns this SundayInaugural Turtle Wax Modern Classic Rally illuminate Mumbai streets
