DHONI HELLCAT

Indian Cricket Team Captain MS Dhoni known for his penchant for bikes owns the X132 Hellcat, the first and only owner from South East Asia . The other proud owners of this bike are celebrities like David Beckham, Brad Pitt, and Tom Cruise.

The X132 Hellcat is named after the legendary F6F Hellcat fighter plane from the Second World War. The American speed devil – X132 Hellcat – boasts of some impressive specifications. The X132 Hellcat is powered by a 2,163 cc engine and its body is made up of aeroplane building materials like aluminium and carbon fibre which is very hard and light weight. This makes the weight of the bike less than the visual effect. It weights only 227kg.

The bike is manufactured in Birmingham, Alabama, USA and is priced at $50,000. It will cost a lot higher in India given the high import duties on high-end bikes.
