Top 5 Cars From Dulquer Salmaan’s Esteemed Collection

We are sure Dulquer Salmaan needs no particular introduction. There are celebrities who are into cars and then there’s Dulquer Salmaan. The man’s got impeccable taste when it comes to cars and is currently on a mission to hunt and acquire all the motoring gems from the bygone era. The Mollywood actor seems to have a thing for youngtimers and is one of the biggest petrolheads in the country. His extensive cherry-picked garage that houses some of the rarest cars in the country reveals how DQ is an absolute car geek who is obsessed with them. 

What we have here are 5 cars, strictly featured on this list since they are some of the outright fun cars from the garage. The sheer variety of the garage is something that you rarely get to see in a collection. And truth be told, it is easier to find out how many nuclear warheads are in possession of North Korea than to find out the specifics of all the cars in DQ’s garage. The actor is not very public when it comes to his collection for the right reasons. At the end of the day, the garage stems out of a sheer passion for cars and is not to be wrongly interpreted as flashy. 

E46 BMW M3

The crown jewel of DQ’s collection is this gorgeous 2002 BMW M3 finished in Stahlgrau Metallic (Steel grey). This particular car is a manual version and one of the finest examples in the country. Subtle but tasteful modifications to the coupe include BBS CH-R rims (arguably the best wheel for the E46 M3), KW coilovers and Eisenmann exhaust. 

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

While the E46 was the crown jewel of the collection, the 2011 Iridium Silver SLS AMG is the henchman of DQ’s garage. The SLS AMG is more than its gullwing doors and is actually a mad muscle car with a thunderous NA 6.3-litre V8 masquerading as a supercar with GT intentions. What a car.

991.2 Porsche 911 GT3

DQ has always been into porkers, so it is no surprise that this is not the only Porsche in the garage. This Miami Blue example is a 6-speed manual version (yay!) complete with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), and carbon bucket seats. 

E36 BMW M3 Saloon

Details are scarce on this gem of a car but we do know it is being painstakingly restored to its current glory. This super-rare Dakar Yellow E36 M3 4-door saloon is an absolute cracker of a car, featuring a 3.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-six engine. 

Toyota Supra MK4

Spearheading the JDM side of things in DQ’s garage is this Super Red MK4 ToyotaSupra Twin-Turbo fitted with a set of evergreen Volk Rays TE-37 rims. Rumours suggest it is an automatic variant, and that it might not remain the same for long.
