Not long ago, discussing the fastest car in India was pointless due to the unavailability of sports cars and the lack of demand and infrastructure. However, as India picked up pace in the race for economy, the scenario took a 360-degree turn. When sports car brands started entering the Indian market, the elite began accepting them with open arms. Even the road infrastructure, while still far from perfect, has improved dramatically in recent years across the nation.
With all these developments, more people started accepting sports cars with open hands and experiencing their true potential on some of the best roads in the country. With brands now launching sports cars in India soon after their global launch, the competition for the title of fastest car in India is completely revamped with new contenders.
