Rahul Gandhi Tours BMW Headquarters In Munich, Checks Out F450 GS And Rolls Royce Phantom
When we hear the name of the Indian National Congress member and Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, we think of politics, right? Well, not this time. Recently, Rahul Gandhi was seen touring the headquarters of the German luxury carmaker BMW in Munich. In the video shared by the politician, he was seen checking out various different BMW bikes, luxury cars, and even cars from the British luxury car brand Rolls-Royce, which, for those unaware, is owned by BMW.
The video showing Rahul Gandhi being intrigued and excited while checking out BMW cars and bikes has been shared on Instagram by his official page. This clip starts off with Rahul Gandhi mentioning that he was at the BMW factory and was very excited. He added that the vehicle he was particularly excited to see was the new BMW Motorrad F450 GS, which has been designed and built in collaboration with Indian bike manufacturing giant TVS Motor Company.
Following this, the Leader of Opposition, Gandhi, can be seen checking out the display F450 GS. He also checked out the BMW Isetta hatchback. It was a unique hatchback with two seats and a front-opening gate. The clip then shows Rahul Gandhi checking out the brand-new Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII luxury sedan, which is the most expensive vehicle sold by the brand. He was shown the Rolls-Royce Spectre electric coupe as well.
During his visit to the BMW Munich headquarters, he was also greeted by a family of three. The woman mentions that her husband saw him and told her that Rahul Gandhi is here. After hearing this, she was shocked, and they then came to talk to him. They also clicked images with him, soon after which Rahul Gandhi was seen checking out the BMW iX3 electric SUV.
In the clip, we can note that Rahul Gandhi is quietly observing various cars and other things at the BMW headquarters. He then mentions that India needs to start producing, as production is key to any country's success. Gandhi added that currently, production in India is declining, which should instead be increasing. The video then concludes with Rahul Gandhi standing on the BMW F450 GS and clicking selfies with fans.
When Rahul Gandhi is not busy in the Lok Sabha, he likes riding adventure motorcycles. Back in 2023, when he was on the “Bharat Jodo Yatra,” he was seen riding a KTM 390 Adventure motorcycle on the mountain roads of Ladakh. He was accompanied by a number of different riders and a long fleet of SUVs and MPVs, in which his security teams were travelling and making sure that he was safe during his rides.
A little while ago, Rahul Gandhi, during an interview, revealed that he loves motorcycles, particularly old motorcycles. He elaborated that, unlike the younger generation today, which prefers to ride and buy Royal Enfield motorcycles, he loves the two-stroke Yamaha RD350s. He added that growing up, he used to ride a lot of them and has loved them ever since.
