Ratan Tata Cars

Ratan Tata is the chairman of TATA Sons, the key holding company of TATA Group. TATA Group is India’s largest business conglomerate and Ratan Tata is a great leader.

Ratan Tata is a very private person and there are very less information available about Mr.Tata.

Have you ever think that why Mr.Ratan Tata is very much involved in TATA Motors? And which is the reason he launched TATA Nano car – World’s cheapest car?

Well, this is because he is so much passionate about cars that he simply can’t resist his this passion for cars.

According to Autocarindia.com,

Over the years Ratan has acquired quite a collection of cars and the pristine manner in which he maintains them explains why the term ‘Parsi owned’ fetches a premium. True to his clan, he is particularly possessive about his cars —
no one other than himself can drive them — and his gleaming collection, tucked away in a basement, is pampered to look nothing less than showroom-fresh.

Each car has its own bespoke cover made of a special material that doesn’t scratch and keeps moisture out. Trickle chargers keep the batteries topped up (as there is no time to drive during the week) and just in case Ratan misjudges how close the garage wall is when he slots nose first into the parking bay, there are wooden chocks in front of the front wheels to stop him short. Such is his attention to detail!

Tata spends most Sunday mornings behind the wheel of each of his cars, taking them out one after the other, for a short spin around South Mumbai. His latest pride and joy is a Ferrari California, probably the first in the country. Always happy to oblige a fellow enthusiast, it didn’t take much to convince Ratan to take me for a ride in it. The California looks absolutely stunning in ‘Rosso’ red (the colour all Ferraris should be) and beige leather interiors.

Dressed in casuals and very relaxed, Ratan patiently waits for our photo shoot to finish but I can sense he can’t wait to get behind the wheel. His delight is evident from the minute he lowers his tall frame into the Ferrari cockpit. “This car is a different experience for me. It feels human in the way it has been engineered and it handles beautifully,” he says with glee. The long bonnet and swooping lines are a throwback to the early front-engined Ferrari classics like the 250GT California (after which the new Ferrari is named) and the 1960s 275GTB. It’s this classical shape and form that greatly appealed to Ratan……
