After a successful series against South Africa culminating in a 3-0 rout in the Test series, Virat Kohli was visibly relaxed at the launch of the new Audi A6 in Famous Studios, Mumbai on Thursday. He hinted that he may upgrade to a new Audi in January 2020 but which car is a secret.
When asked about where he would like to go for long drives, Virat said, “Times have been hectic and when we get the time, we go away for a holiday mostly. When I spend more time in the city at home, the highway is a good place to just get on for a long drive and see how long you want to go. You don’t really think where you want to go when it’s a long drive. Just get into the car, find a long stretch, which seems never-ending and just keep going. Usually, it’s at night when there is less traffic. So I just put on some music. Great weather is a plus. In the future, when I am more in the city and at home, we will be going for more drives than we are at the moment,” he said.
When asked who will be his companion, Virat said, “My wife, of course.”
He said that Audi R8 was his favourite sportscar and spoke about how he had taken Chris Gayle out for a drive. He added, “I had taken the car onto the racetrack and it was a wonderful experience with no traffic.”
Virat commented that he was waiting for electric cars as “whatever helps the environment is good.” He said, “Whenever the shift happens, everyone will see me in an electric car.”
