Pics : Mercedes New SLKs in India

Scuderia · 11th April 2005, 17:17

Saw an SLK 230 Kompressor outside my office in worli half an hour ago

Something b/w a silver/pearl shade.. with beautiful black interiors

unfortunately couldnt catch any snaps

But classy looking 2 door..

was just imagining the justice it would do to the expressway

Sweet!
Keep your cam ready though next time.
I saw one and sat in one in Turkey when it had just come out.
Have the pic too.
Oh and i saw a black/grey colour SLK with nice sporty alloys.
I think it was the 55 AMG.
Could not see it though as it was in the showroom - Sanghi Motors which at that time was closed (7.40 a.m).

There was a blue one in Hiranandani about a year ago. Prashant Sharma owned it but he sold it. It was for his son. He used to drive it like MAD. i myself have seen him thrashing that car over a speedbreaker. The car looked sooo good.

Used to own one of those. 230 s just for show of . 320 are quicker. although Iliked the coupe with convertible style.

well there is a black one frankly dint drool at it at all. looks like a very small car. different for sure still not worth the moolah.

khanak · 15th April 2005, 01:21

Its all right. Is tht an Orange Santro next to it?

gamerno1 · 15th April 2005, 01:40

as you said jesal, not worth the moolah. i cant believe its in the supercars section

& khanak, thats not an orange santro but some red lights reflecting on the grey santro.

khanak · 15th April 2005, 01:44

its not that bad but its definitly not worth - 80 lakhs?
The same car with a few mods is used as a safety car in F1

Looks hot for sure.... specially in black love the head lamps and grill. Alloys seem killer too, but i agree this car is a big too small like the previous slk.... u look at it from the front and u r like wow and u walk by its side admiring while u take 2 steps more and there u see the tails lamps! if it was a bit long would have looked way better. How much does this one cost on road bombay?

revtech · 15th April 2005, 01:48

yeah it is pretty small and as said before i really dont think its worth the cash.
i wouldnt get one for sure.

comfortablywacky · 15th April 2005, 02:20

Hey good find Jesal...where is the location where you took this pics? and which cam phone?? and yeah it is a bit too small and not powerful enough for 80 L's ....I would have picked up a Cayenne S for that price !

jesal · 15th April 2005, 11:57

this was in juhu near my place. the car came in given to the valet he seemed quite happy then the beast came a 7 series in white standing next to it so obviously i was drooling over the 7 for longer. its a good car really just people will make fun of u saying u bought that for 80 laks yikes what were u thinking kind of thing.

I Just Love The Car...........

ajmat · 15th April 2005, 13:26

The SLK55 will cost Rs 80 + lakhs - the normal SLK 350 would be in the 45lakh range

jesal · 15th April 2005, 16:12

think it was 37 lak boxter at 35 and auti tt at 36 all paper prices though i feel all of these should be under 40 on road i am talking normal ones here and not kitted up ones yea
