Mercedes-Benz India apparently feels its high-time to override its competitors. The German luxury brand brought the largest number of cars for the display with 18 cars in total for the Indian Auto Expo this season, the Greman auto honcho has apparently spent a whopping Rs 20 crore on its stall which surely looks splendid.
Toyota India and Mercedes-Benz India are the only two car manufacturers to launch two new cars each at the 11th Auto Expo. The auto major has put up a big show this year launching the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG roadster and new Mercedes-Benz M-Class while there were many more cars to boast about.
The A-Class concept and S600 Pullman limousine range of cars were a couple of brands among the rest put up for display. Ever since BMW snatched over the reigns from
Mercedes-Benz to preside over the number one position in the domestic luxury car segment, Mercedes-Benz’s focused objective was to topple its arch rival from its comfortable position.
And now seems to be the right opportunity for Mercedes-Benz India. Not only did it launch two new cars in India, it ended up bringing a lot more cars which could be the future models for India. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG roadster:
Adorning a super advanced design philosophy, though not new for India when we have already seen the same designs with the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG coupe, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG roadster drives like a mad horse with a top speed of 317 kmph with a powerful 420 KW 6.3 L V8 engine under the hood.
The car accelerates from scratch to 100 kmph in 3.8 seconds. 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class: Quite a few of us might have experienced the driveability of the M-Class in India,
the hot SUV despite its bulky stance has a powerful road presence and an uncompromising 190 KW 3.0 L V6 engine which makes it all the more possible to drive at a top speed of 224 kmph.
While it might take sometime before the A-Class transforming to real-time model, it would be fun to see the new S600 Pullman range of limousines to be launched in India, which are soon going to replace the Maybach range globally.
But, this is something Merecedes-Benz will have to decide as the Maybach range has never seen the light of the day in India unless if the cars were imported privately.
