Belongs to a Chartered Accountant from the city. It is the only DB11 V8 in the country (so far) and is quite often used as a daily runabout!

Saw a Ferrari (I think) in front of Raja Rajeshwari temple in RR Nagar on Saturday. Red one, looked like 488. Was in Bus and couldn't get a snap :( Any information on that ? Thought someone bought it for puja.

she was modified by the event agency team however it suited them ... had a small piece of foam as a seat, having sat in it a multiple times, can tell you was not near perfect to the real deal

I didnt even get out of my aprtment and spotted this C43 AMG sedan.There was also a black jeep wrangler with some mods on it but that picture exceeds the forum's 4mb limit so I couldnt upload it on the forum.

Why does that look like a kit and a badge job? From what i remember, in India, the C43 is only available as a Coupe and not a 4 door sedan

The C43 is actually available off the shelf in India in sedan guise but it is not one of those holy AMGs, you may see it as a watered down AMG or maybe a faster and tighter C Class with a V6 petrol and an AMG kit.

Surprisingly the Mercedes website makes absolutely no mention of this and only lists the C43 Coupe on sale.

https://www.mercedes-benz.co.in/pass...nt.module.html

Vahan says this is a C43 but for whatever reason the fuel is shown as diesel.

If a C43 saloon is indeed available, it seems to be a very good option for someone who wants a fast but not too big/expensive petrol sedan. If i was in the market, i would for sure be looking at this.

Yes you are right, the website only shows the C43 AMG Coupe. Maybe MBIL pulled the plug on the sedan variant before they launched the Coupe here.

As pointed out by //M in the above post,the C43 sedan was sold before(end of 2016)and was replaced by the coupé version this year.

The C43 is a more practical option for our roads,has enough power with 4MATIC(I believe) and a less thirsty twin turbo V6.It isn't a badge job as I had seen the original twin turbo badges in the sides and had also checked the RTO which showed it to be an early 2018 model.

Posting a link of the C43 AMG below:

That's not a kit. Seen this car quite often.

The very first Cayenne Coupe in the country has been delivered to Bengaluru! Apparently shares the garage with a GT3 RS as well.
