Now proudly housed in the garage of his Pune residence, this is just one of the many treasures in a collection that blends heritage with horsepower. Within the walls of Poonawalla's Koregaon Park property is a garage where modern engineering marvels sit alongside rare vintage icons. The fiery red Ferraris turn heads, but it is the regal Cadillac Eldorado — stationed prominently on the porch — that commands the spotlight. During an exclusive shoot and interview, the auto aficionado gave a glimpse of his enviable collection and spoke about his passion for automotive craftsmanship and curating vintage rides and modern masterpieces. Yohan Poonawalla with 1927 Rolls Royce 20 HP Tourer and 1933 Rolls Royce Phantom II Continental Sports Saloon 'I hold the number one spot in my family when it comes to vintage car collection' Walking us through rows of pristine classics and supercars, Yohan says, 'Love for cars runs in my family.

'Each drive is special. Every time I get into a Ferrari, it feels like the first time. I am always excited to get behind the wheel. I listen to pop music. I play some Dua Lipa, feel the engine purr, and let the road decide the mood. If it's a relaxed Sunday, Michelle (his wife) and I head to our farm — each in our own Ferrari.
