£10m supercars procession transforms NYE wedding into 'Fast and Furious' scene
A £10 million procession of luxury cars driven by wedding-goers on New Year’s Eve looked like a scene out of hit movie, Fast and Furious.
Some 20 supercars and another 10 Rolls Royces gathered near Birmingham after friends of Kasim Ali and his bride-to-be Natasha met up ahead of their wedding.
They gathered by the couple’s home before making the two-mile journey to the wedding.
The cars were hired by friends who each picked their favourites.
Friend of the groom, Kad, from Birmingham Car Hire Limited, who helped organise the car meet-up, likened it to a ‘scene from Fast and Furious’.
'I'm spending £20k on a new bathroom - but won't help my brother out with cash'Kad told Birmingham Live he sourced cars from near and far to make his friend’s wedding a spectacular show.
The 30-year-old, who was also a wedding guest, said: “The wedding was one of my friends. And we organised loads of supercars. All Kasim’s friends approached us and wanted to hire different cars for the wedding.
“They wanted it to be a supercar showdown. They were sourced from all over the country and brought down to Birmingham. One company couldn’t organise the amount needed! Each car had an individual spec.
“There were 20 supercars and ten Rolls Royces.
"There were more than £10 million worth in total. We had them all lined up in Floodgate Street. Usually we might hire four at most. But this was a scene from Fast and Furious. It didn’t feel like we were in Birmingham.”
The cars included Lamborghini Huracans, Aventadors and Urus, Ferrari 488 Spiders and Pistas, McLaren 720s, one with 1,100 brake horsepower, and a Range Rover SVR.
The Rolls Royces included six Phantoms and four Ghosts, and there were also two Mercedes, an SLS gullwing, a E63 S AMG, and two Audi R8 Spyders.
The groom drove a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ worth a cool £350,000.
Normally the cars are hired for 24 hours. This time the wedding guests picked them up in the morning to use and then returned them just after midnight so they could be safely secured for the night.
