450,000 km Drive from Europe to Asia In 26 Days

Yaz · 06-09-2006, 05:18 PM

On October 21st, 33 E-Classes, 30 E 320 CDI and three E 320 BLUETEC, will cover 450,000 km from Paris to Beijing in 26 days!

This would be a once in a lifetime experience. You can actually apply to join them on the trip if you live in some parts of Europe like the UK: - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
If this was held in the U.S., count me in, but it's not

These kinds of things are always interesting. I would love to participate in something like this, I just don't have the time, money, or vehicle.

Oh, Peking to Paris. Nice.

That would be awsome! If only I were older

Will they accept an gasoline-powered 2002 W211 E320?

You don't bring your own car though, I sure as well wouldn't want to put my car through that kind of torture test. It's only 13,000 kms, but that's some terrain right there. What an experience that would be.

Ive signed up for it lol

Lets see if I get an email to take part and then I will update you all on how it went and how the f/l E class was like...

Back to reality...looking forward to test drive the E at my local dealership

Same here, it would be a great trip!

I soooo hope nothing major goes wrong with the cars for MB's sake.

Any publicised failure would be a major blow for them and its obvious this test is about proving the qaulity and reliability of their vehicles, particularly their bread and butter E-class with the new Diesels.
