The open top vehicle can vroom-up from 0 to 100 km per hour in less than 4 seconds with the top-speed of 317 km per hour. And this is made possible by its more than 6000cc, 8-cylinder V8 engine that rests under its big smooth bonnet.

On the other hand is the New Mercedes Benz M-Class on all-new chassis codenamed: W166 that is expected to don a 3.5L CDI engine mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The capacious yet sleek M-Class SUV has an innovative ECO start-n-stop system, which allows you to save fuel and reduce emissions, as it automatically switches-off the engine while you are on traffic signals or struck-up in sort of traffic jam.
The Mercedes Benz M-Class was an instant hit as its very first customer was none other than actor, director and producer Farhan Akhtar, who was handed over the keys after its launch.
