Virat Kohli is an ardent car lover and his humongous car collection proves every bit of it Apart from owning luxurious vehicles from around the world, he is a long-serving brand ambassador of the automobile maker, Audi.
Considering Kohli’s upscaling popularity and his inclination towards Audi cars, in 2015, the german auto-maker signed an endorsement deal of 5 crores making him the official face of Audi India. He owns an Audi R8 LMS and an Audi R8 V10, an Audi S6, an Audi A8 Quattro and an Audi Q7. In addition to this, Kohli has Audi R8 LMS and an Audi R8 V10, an Audi S6, an Audi A8 Quattro and an Audi Q7.
In 2021, Audi extended Virat’s association with them stating he is a crucial factor of Audi India’s marketing campaigns.
Virat Kohli has been making headlines every day because of his smart cricket tactics and the winsome relationship he shares with his wife, Anushka Sharma. Though this time, an old picture of Kohli’s Audi R8 is floating across the internet and has left people wondering if he stills owns it. The answer is NO.
Back in 2012, he bought his first sports car, an Audi R8. He was seen driving his lavish car around the town and even took it to stadiums while practicing. However, in 2016, he sold his car to a Mumbai-based person, Sagar Thakkar. Later it came to light that Sagar was a criminal and was famous by the name of ‘Shaggy’ among the local goons. Reportedly, he was also involved in the mega call centre scam.
After getting arrested by the police, all his assets including properties and cars were seized. The car was parked at Mumbai Police impound ground, after seizing it. Being stationed in open ground, the car is subjected to all weather conditions and therefore, is looking like a piece of wreck.
