i saw the pic again after reading this post and noticed the similarities. Is this the one that Clarkson did a fuel-efficiency test on?( twin turbo V8)

The car is the test drive car for Audi. Island Motors.

MH-43 is Thane registration.

I have seen this car but dont remember where. May the same day on which i was going for Kharghar Drags. Just saw a glimpse of it then due to heavy traffic couldnt see much of it.

Seen this one too, just the rear end though, jutting out of traffic. Was with Drifter and his lit CRDI, on the last Saturday night meet.

Umm yea guys thats the New Audi ..... these days its playing around in the hands of our very own auto mag correpondents. they sure know how to treat her well .... hehehe. Its a great car ... even better than the current MB S class.

Cheers!!!

Gordon · 29th March 2005, 23:41

If I'm not mistaken, Thane is also changed to MH-43....

This car must have clocked a huge number on its odo meter. The does its rounds all over the place, i see it in bandra very often.Its the same car that all the magazines tested.

Gordon · 30th March 2005, 10:59

Sahil, where in Bandra did you see it?!
Nice car, long enough, good color, good wheels.

P.S. Shouldn't this be in the "Indian Car Scene"?
