Uber is getting fast and furious in Delhi, souping up its fleet with chauffeured Audi’s and Hummers as part of its new “supercar” offering. So if you have been drooling over the luxurious Audi R8 or pining for a ride in a Hummer, Droom which was founded in April 2014 in Silicon Valley and is India’s first online marketplace for buying and selling of automobiles, can fulfish your wish. The ‘supercars’ collector has tied up with taxi-hailing app Uber to launch ‘Supercars on Demand’. Log on to the Uber app between 1 to 4 pm on July 15 to cruise down the roads in a supercar reminiscent of a scene straight out of a Bond film.

Niche luxury cars are now just a click away with Droom. With this latest category, we now offer the widest range of pre-owned, exotic and classy cars for sale. Through this campaign we wish to bring people who have longed to enjoy a first-hand experience of super cars one step closer to owning their very own mean machine," said Rishab Malik, Co-founder & VP of Business Development, at Droom Karun Arya, Communications Lead, South Asia & India, Uber, added, “This is the first time we’re bringing #UberSUPERCARS to India, for real. Uber is all about providing amazing and unique experiences to its riders and this is one way of giving them an opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy the supercar ride.” This initiative comes just days after the Delhi High Court set aside the Delhi government’s order rejecting the application of Uber to operate in the national capital. “I don’t know if there should be a complete ban. I have doubts about it. How can you (Delhi government) stall someone like this. You can grant a conditional permission,” Justice Manmohan said last week. The court also said since the high court on 11 June had set aside Delhi government’s 3 June order, by which application for licence of two other app-based taxi services– Apra Cabs India Pvt Ltd and Serendipity Infolabs Pvt Ltd (Taxi for Sure) – were rejected, Uber India Technology Pvt Ltd was “entitled” to a similar relief. Uber had approached a court to challenge the government’s decision to reject their licence application after local rival Ola won a similar reprieve.
