Nice pics dude..and man does this guy have a huge garage. Must be worth more than his house perhaps

From where did he get the S-class.It is not officially on sale in RHD format as yest.it will go on sale in jan 2006 in UK.i think he must have paid a huge extra amount to get it here before everyone else.

IMO the S-class will looks much better in person than in pics and i really like the rear lights 100 times better treatment than the 7 series,definately more maybach than 7 series.

Remember seeing the RR a couple of days ago on Worli Seaface with a Cayenne Turbo and an S Class.
BTW, i didn't know the RHD version of the S was released.
Could be here for testing purposes - ACI,OD.

Thats what.the new s-class is on sale in germany.

lamborghini · 11th December 2005, 16:17

But i thought people weren't allowed to import LHD unless it is for homologation purposes (in order to save time).
Either way, it's good news though i like the latter one better.

you can imoprt a left hand drive on carneee......... but the car has to leave the country after one year.....and cannot be registered in india so it has the plates of the country from where it was registered........

racing4cure · 14th December 2005, 05:53

ajmat · 14th December 2005, 08:44

The New S is superb..no doubt that it is the 'best car in the world'.

sridhar24 · 24th February 2006, 17:21

Hey gemballa nice pics there, like the new S class and it looks very good in white.

twister · 25th February 2006, 00:12

saw a new silver S class the other day here in gk 1.it had gurgaon reg.(hr 26 ####) i suppose.but i dont understand one thing that the auto magazine people say that it is due for 2007........so how come it is ON ROAD in 2006????? is it an import or what???

and one more thing....is there any cheaper variant of the new s class?? i mean its priced at 1.25 cr i guess.so ppl will have to shell out that much atleast to buy a new "S class"

??? or is there ne cheaper variant also available???
