Super star Cricketers and their super cars

Sourav Ganguly: Mercedes-Benz CLK convertible – Rs. 84.32 lakh

Dada, the man who injected aggression to the Indian side. He proved to the world that Indians are not the ones who will surrender meekly but will retaliate if sledged. He led India to the final of the 2003 cricket world cup. His Mercedes Benz CLK convertible is the most popular of the cars he owns.The CLK AMG is powered by a hand-assembled 5.4-liter V8 engine. The hardware list reads like that of a race car: super-stiff forged billet steel crankshaft, forged, weight-matched connecting rods and pistons, lightweight AMG-specific chain-driven single overhead camshafts V8 (one cam per cyl bank) with two intake and one exhaust valves per cylinder, as well as 8 coil packs and 16 spark plugs (two spark plugs per cyl). Its bore and stroke are 97mm x 92mm. The five-speed automatic transmission is adapted from the gearbox used in the V-12 S-class models, because that gearbox can take the torque. It is fully adaptive and electronically controlled, and is a stronger unit than that of the CLK430.
