Luxury Car Story of Pankaj Tripathi
This post comes from talkcastreels on Instagram. It captures a snippet from his long interview. A member of the audience asks him which luxury cars he owns. That is when he clarifies the case and shares an interesting story. Firstly, he half-jokingly said that he owns 2 autos and 2 scooters. Now while a part of that might actually have been true during his initial days, it is not possible that he still owns these automobiles only. Sure enough, he clarifies that he also now owns a luxury car. Digging a little deeper, we found out that he has a Mercedes-Benz E200.

As far as the story goes, he narrates that he never had any interest in expensive items. This also includes opulent vehicles. However, when he used to arrive on the set of films from big brands, people used to think that he was a new actor. To clarify their doubt, he purchased the Mercedes E-Class. He confesses that he has no passion for such exuberant products. But just for social obligation, he decided to buy one. We have not seen him using his Merc all that often in public.

Specs
The Mercedes E-Class is one of the highest-selling models in the lineup. However, it is no longer on sale in our market. He had the E200 version which used to come powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine generating a decent 194 hp and 320 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine pairs with a smooth and sporty 9-speed automatic transmission which sends power to the rear wheels. It had a generous cabin space and tons of modern equipment for the utmost comfort and convenience of the passengers. A few years ago, it had a price tag of around Rs 75 lakh, ex-showroom.

Pankaj Tripathi is known to be extremely humble and down-to-earth. That is a perception the world has about him, and also what his co-stars confirm. The fact that he doesn’t like to show off or splurge on ostentatious things like automobiles is a testament to that mindset. Still, to know the story about the real reason why he had to buy a Mercedes is fascinating.
