I'd rather drive a C-class, jus sayin' this car is garbage in the us... seen so many around there. but will be extremely unique in india.

The engine of which variant of the S is used?

Mpower · 17th February 2008, 20:22

From the S320 CDI, V6. Indian E class uses the 280CDI engine.

to compare this with a merc is totally unjust. The owner wanted something unique and he got a New Age American Muscle car which got all out attention.

Now if this was a Merc S320 would the pic have been taken and this tread have so much viewership.

I would say kudos to the unconventional choice.

I would love to see this car do some serious donuts.

I own a 2007 6.4L turbo diesel Ford F350 pickup truck in the United States. On a long hill ascent about 3k long my Ford diesel easily blew the doors right off this same hemi powered Chrysler. Granted the test was rigged for a steep uphill pull but diesels rule in torque. The outcome would be different on a straight level road, I am sure. By the way, it was late afternoon and no one else was on the road. It was safe and we broke no speed laws. Neither I nor this site condone street racing or anything else that is illegal. And, I am kind to all furry little creatures, even Sam Kapasi.

Saw this Beauty at the race course on Saturday, i guess the owner had come for the Polo match that was held at the ARC.
looks goood, but dont like the rear that much.

Off topic: also spotted a Range rover sport and 6 series (2 door).

So you were racing within the speed limit.

I don't like the grill that this one has. I feel the grill on the black one is much better.
In terms of looks I would call this car a poor man's Continental Flying Spur.

Last week I spotted a Metallic Pinkish Bently ( Looked like a GT) near Haji Ali in Mumbai has anyone else spotted it ?

Shreeram · 18th March 2008, 20:24

Looks like this is the first sighting of the 300 C in pune!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday i saw it on S. Bapat Rd near symbiosis college Black i followed it till Nalstop, & mannn that looks superb. The road presence is amazing.

The one i saw had a different grill. It had a MH 43 dealer numberplate.
But one thing i noticed was that it was giving out lot of smoke (exhaust) dont know why?.

Sorry Dont have pics but pune people keep your cameras ready to click!!!!
