The first Samand had a french built engine... the second engine was colaberation between a german firm and Iran Khodro (IKCO) and the project was for the first gen. engine to be 60% Iranian parts and 40% German... The second gen. of the motor was 100% Iranian built and thats now the 'National Motor'

Iran To Earn US$1 BLN From Export Of Peugeot 206: Auto Exec

TEHRAN, Sept 5 Asia Pulse - The Iranian economy would earn US$1 billion in a seven year period from the export of the Peugeot 206SD sedan, acting managing director of Iran Khodro auto manufacturing company for strategic and international cooperation said Sunday.

The base price of the Peugeot 206SD will depend on the car market in different countries and be between 11500-13500 euros. The price of the 206SD on the domestic market also will be equal to its export price.


The export of 13,000 Peugeot 206SD to North Africa, Middle East, Balkan and Persian Gulf regions as well as Algeria, Russia and Turkey will start from next year.

According to the media department of Iran Khodro company, it is anticipated that about 25 per cent of the 206SDs manufactures by Iran Khodro would be exported abroad.

There are around 3500 sold in Tehran and 2000 in Esphan so far. But convertibles are not common in Iran. Another 2000 of the BMW 6 convertibles are going to sold in Nov/Dec this year. Actually they are already sold, but just need to arrive

[Gilgamesh]

I guess I saw one.

I saw a ripoff car of the same brand in darban, tehran.

*cough BMW X5 ahem*

LOL are ripoffs this obvious legal?

[Rahmani]

The first car is the Ssang Yong Chairman. Developed in 1995. The reason it looks like a Benz is because Ssang Yong is (partly) owned by Mercedes-Benz.

Actually the second car is the Ssang Yong Musso. Developed in 1999, a few years before the BMW X5.

[shugs]

Yah.. wasn't Ssang Yong bought out by Daewoo at one point?... those Mussos are stupidly expensive in Iran, especially for their low build quality... resale value is very poor as well.. They market the Musso and probably the Chairman in Iran as having a Mercedes egine, which is far from the truth.. the motor is manufactured in Korea and Mercedes supplies a cam cover

[gole_hayahou]

meh...all i know was that it didnt look very appealing.

Thanx for the info !

I have seen some Slk's , convertible Clk's and 6 series. It was really impressing this year, I had never seen so many luxurious cars in Iran before.

Actually, I was askin for the convertible cars, cuz 2 months ago we had an expert called maziar who came on this board and said there are no convertible cars in Iran becuz of islamic reasons. LOL
