DC Designs or DC2 is one of the oldest and most well-known customization garages in India. Because of this, most of the actors or famous personalities also like to modify their vehicles from DC only. DC2 is led by Dilip Chhabria. Here, we have a video of the Mercedes-Benz V-Class modified by DC Designs for famous Bollywood actor, Hrithik Roshan.
In the video, we can see that the interior of the V-Class has been completely modified. It is now luxurious and is finished in beige. There is also wood and chrome trim and ambient lighting to provide an up-market feel to the cabin.
The highlight of the cabin is the aeroplane style VIP seats that can recline and have dedicated leg support. The VIP seats can be reclined all the way so a person can also take a nap in them. There are two more seats that can be folded away when they are not being used. All the functions are controlled through a control panel located in the middle of both seats.
There are huge panel lights placed on the roof to lighten up the whole cabin. The reading lights are separate and are installed on the roof. There is also a centre table that can be folded if it is not in use. A mini-fridge has also been installed to keep the drinks cold. This modified V-Class is expected to serve as a mini vanity van and will also be used for commuting to film sets.
This is not the first time that an actor has customized his vehicle to be a vanity van. Bollywood stars often have customized vanity vans. For instance, Shahrukh Khan customized a Volvo B9R coach. This modification was also done by DC Designs. It is fitted with a 4K TV and an Apple TV. There is a dedicated kitchen and the whole coach gets ambient lighting. Salman Khan also owns a customized vanity van modified by DC Designs. It is finished in leather trim with wooden inserts. It has a LED TV, a small bathroom and seats that can recline. Sanjay Dutt’s vanity bus was also customized by DC Designs. It is based on a Volvo bus and comes with a TV, mini bar, ambient lighting and a high-end music system.
Hrithik Roshan also owns other luxurious vehicles. His garage includes Rolls Royce Ghost, a couple of Mini Coopers, Mercedes-Benz Maybach S650, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover and a Mercedes-Benz S Class. It is only the Mercedes-Benz V-Class that has been specially modified.
The V-Class is quite popular among rich people. Bollywood Legend Amitabh Bachchan was one of the first owners of the V-Class when it was first launched. The prices of the V-Class starts at Rs. 71.10 lakhs ex-showroom. It is offered in five variants. There is Expression, Exclusive, Elite, Marco Polo Horizon and Marco Polo. The top-end Marco Polo variant costs Rs. 1.46 Crores ex-showroom.
