After going on the run following his massive bankruptcy, multimillionaire Vijay Mallya, also known as the king of good times, is making headlines once again. He is in the headlines because of his ultra-luxurious, iconic Ferrari 328 GTS Targa, so this time the issue is not contentious. He had a passion for luxurious living, super-luxury cars, houses, and designer clothes. Although his valuable belongings have found new homes in India, he no longer resides there. The Ferrari model was spotted on the road once more after a long absence. But the only thing that has changed is who is now driving and who owns the vehicle. The extremely rare model was spotted driving on Mumbai's Bandra Worli Sea Link, and pictures of the vehicle quickly went viral online.
The Ferrari 328 GTS Targa, a red car with a performance-focused design, is seen in the pictures running with its roof open. One person was seated in the driver's side seat of the car, straining it to its limits. According to reports, the vehicle was en route to Sangramsinh Pratapsinh Gaekwad's home in Mumbai. The car was shown going through a Hindu blessing and welcoming ceremony in another picture. The vehicle, which was formerly owned by Kingfisher Airlines, is now a member of the Royal Family. Two more men were observed standing on the side of the car, and one of the family members was even observed lighting incense sticks around the vehicle.

A 3.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine powered the Ferrari 328 GTS. This motor can produce 304 Nm of torque and 270 horsepower of power. Its top speed is 267 kmph, and it takes only 6 seconds to go from 0 to 100 kmph. Compared to the present day, it can seem slow for a Ferrari, yet in the past, it was among the best-performing vehicles available.
