Some of the regular readers here will already know Braco – the owner of a heavily modified Gallardo and an insane 700bhp GT-R, both of which I was able to sample briefly awhile back. Together with a few other motorheads in Singapore, Braco organized a Singapore supercar drive last weekend to usher in the year of the Water Dragon. While there were a fair amount of Ferraris and Lamborghinis that turned up, it was the Godzillas that made the biggest presence, arriving in a multitude of colours and different states of tune.

Initially, a total of 35 cars were planned for the drive, but last minute CNY cancellations meant that a few cars were not able to make it for the event. In total: 2 Ferraris, 8 Lamborghinis, and 14 GT-Rs; and the eventual list of attendees did not disappoint the Singapore ‘exotic spotters’ who made their way to the open car park to catch a glimpse of the rows of exotics. From there, the cars cruised along Orchard Road, Bras Basah Road, ECP, KPE Tunnel, TPE, CTE, Cavenagh Road, and eventually settling down at Conrad Hotel’s open car park.

Now, which GT-R should I choose...

The 'Zilla line-up was definitely impressive.

The drivers, all smiles!

All in, it was a great drive where most of the folks who turned up genuinely enjoyed themselves. I was asked to cover the event, but was not able to make it as I had some other commitments in KL. As such, I enlisted the help from some of the best ‘exotic spotters’ in Singapore who were more than glad to help me out ;) View all the pictures from Enter the Dragon Drive here.

Braco's monsters were both present at the drive. While Braco took reins on his Bull, his 'Zilla was piloted by dreamcast18 who had a GoPro camera on-board. Although mistakenly set to capture stills, I found the end result rather interesting!

its very2 damn rare to see GTR35 congregate in singapore.

 

[Won]

Is it really hard to run into GT-R drives in Singapore? I know the Ferraris and Lambos have drives quite often, and am surprised the GT-R boys don't do it as frequently.

 

[george3874]

yup the GTRs are trully godzillas when next to the lambos but i somehow feel the lambos are the pretiest of the lot.

 

[Tom]

didn't Singapore have the most GTRs per square feet at one point?

 

[Braco]

There are likely 2 GTRs local drives in the month of February. One for Singapore GTRs Club only and the next .................................... is combined SG/MY GTRs Club.
