Bengaluru Gets Its First Ferrari Showroom, But Netizens Ask: ‘Where Will The Cars Be Driven?’
Bengaluru, often hailed as India’s Silicon Valley, has added another feather to its cap with the opening of the city’s first-ever Ferrari showroom. However, instead of celebrating, many internet users have taken to social media to troll the development, pointing out Bengaluru’s notorious traffic jams and pothole-ridden roads.
The showroom, located near the ITC factory in Meenakunte Hosur village, opened towards the end of March and is spread across two floors—7,500 sq ft on the ground floor and 2,500 sq ft on the first. The facility, operated by Ferrari’s Indian dealer, Select Cars Private Limited, aims to provide after-sales support to Ferrari owners in South India.
Check Out the Newly Opened Showroom
Reports suggest that Ferrari is paying a whopping Rs 8 lakh per month as rent for the 10,000-square-foot showroom space near Kempegowda International Airport. While this expansion highlights the growing demand for luxury cars in India, it has also reignited the debate on Bengaluru’s infrastructure.
The city, which is home to an estimated 20-30 Ferrari owners—most of whom are first-time buyers—now has a dedicated space for the Italian supercar brand. Despite this, social media users were quick to question the logic of owning a Ferrari in a city where traffic congestion and road conditions are constant challenges.
Users Reaction to the Showroom
One viral comment summed up the sentiment, stating, “Where will the cars be driven?” Whereas another one said, “BBMP Commissioner should be allowed to Test Drive on BBMP roads.” A third user echoed in the same manner and wrote, “Buying a Ferari in bengaluru? seriously? To be honest no one in India should buy a ferrari! But Bengaluru? lolzzzzz.”
Another user posted his fear about the killer drivers said, “Oh god these are the killer machines. It would be hard to drive, riche rich brats would use these to get drunk and kill people. God save us.”
For now, Ferrari owners will have to navigate the same potholes and traffic as everyone else—albeit in a much more luxurious ride.
