I don't think it has been launched in India.It maybe available as a special import.

All Merc cars are officially available in India the moment their RHD versions get launched abroad (exceptions being the A-Class & the SLR). Reason being that other than the C,E,S they import everything as a CBU anyway & would be more than happy to get you a CL or an SL or a CLK etc.

i think it is. had been invited for the hyd's launch few months back. as far as i recall the model on display was delivered to a newspaper baron from hyd.

What about the homologation requirements?

@iraghava - Just for curiosity sake - Why can't the SLK be imported?

SLK 200 has been homologated. Any car costing over $40000 and 3 litre CC and above does not need to be homologated. Thank Mr Bachchan, Ambani and a lot of rich influeential people etc for this.

that means you can import any car above the 40 lakh price , thats why lambo opened its dealership in india along with porsche , bentley, earlier this was not possible

the new S is CBU too. The CL is aviable but haven't seen any around. My fav coupe of the mb stable.

xtr21 · 13th February 2008, 11:45

Oops, I meant why can't the SLR be imported via official channels?
