Pan masala tycoon Manikchand Dhariwal has forked out an astronomical Rs five crore to become the first Indian to own 'Maybach', the country's most expensive car. | |
| The keys of the Nayarit Silver- and mid grey-coloured super luxury saloon was handed over to Dhariwal by DaimlerChrysler managing director Hans-Michael Huber today at the company's Pune plant. |
| |
| About 15 top Indian billionaires had pledged Rs 75 crore for buying Maybach. |
| |
| Luring Indian customers with deep pockets, Maybach made a debut in India early this year. |
| |
| Earlier, the luxury carmaker had said it would sell 7-8 units of Maybach annually. |
| |
| The cynosure of car connoisseurs dazzled people during the auto expo in January this year. The car will be produced on orders, normally it takes six months to deliver a Maybach. |
| |
| With Maybach's launch in India, its German-US manufacturer DaimlerChrysler has received a number of queries about the car. |
| |
| Not to be outdone, Bentley has lined up 'Arnage R' and 'Continental GT' which will cost Rs three crore and Rs 1.6 crore, respectively. |
| |
| In a move which shows the depth and maturity of the Indian auto market, BMW is also toying with the idea to charm buyers with super luxury saloon '7-Series'. |
| |
| The super luxury sedan will be imported as completely built units (CBUs). |
