"They were driving at around 150 km an hour. The maximum permissible speed is only 60 km in city limits. Besides, they triggered panic by creating high decibel noise on the highway as they raced together," a senior police officer said. The seized cars will be sent for motor vehicles test, the police said.

A Ferrari 458 Italia was also among those caught after the race.
The East Coast Road, popularly called Chennai's entertainment corridor, is dotted with several hotels, resorts, amusement parks, shopping complexes and movie halls. Over the years, the stretch witnessed several accidents. It is only recently that the work on converting it into a four-lane highway connecting Mahabalipuram and Puducherry was completed and this has come as a blessing for racers and a nightmare for commuters, the police say.
