It’s only been a couple of days since we last heard about how the Germans are thinking about killing off the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. Alongside the AMG performance tuned SUV, Mercedes was said to drop the biggest diesel engine available on it, the 450 CDI.
If perhaps you would like a new status statement in the form of a Mercedes and reckon that riding stock wheels isn’t your thing but a tuned up convertible is too much, there is a solution. It comes from Prior Design and it speaks of something seriously special, a magnificent piece of work on the
Ok, it’s just me who considers this sort of car as ready for a pension plan but it did get a 2012 face along some other things. Among the “other things” you’ll find a new engine, one of the small 4 cylinder sort.
As with any major manufacturer, someday they will need new engineers, designers and employees of any sort. Mercedes is no exception. What is a bit of an exception is what some students created using their time and imagination in a Mercedes shop.
The Mercedes SLS AMG has been around for a while and although it hasn’t yet been sold in massive numbers the tuning community are already working on it. The 2010 Essen Motor Show is just the place for a tuner to show off something like this in style.
The Paris Motor Show which ended just over a month ago, saw the German triple star manufacturer revealing the 2012 version of the Mercedes-Benz CLS. The 2012 model year CLS is a nice new release, makes for interesting reading on the refresh of a class opening Mercedes, but it’s, well, a bit lacking.
The Americans at the NHTSA have caught the Germans at Mercedes-Benz out with some problems. Sadly, the problem Mercedes is experiencing has lead to a very big recall on quite a few of the Stuttgart based manufacturer’s models.
Apparently the Australian International Motor Show isn’t the sort of place where only Pickup trucks get revealed but can also be a good place to see an interesting Mercedes-Benz Concept. Actually, when I mean an interesting Mercedes-Benz Concept what I mean to say is that the Germans ran out ideas and tried to disguise a
It’s no longer something new, amazing, shocking or pretty much unusual in any way when an automotive manufacturer announces some sort of technology bits added to the interior of their products. And when we speak of great manufacturers and of great impact consumer products loaded with technology it almost becomes a necessity. Considering how many
I’m not entirely convinced about Mercedes’ new policy on reliability, image and the sorts but it seems that the majority of people is. I’m only saying this because US sales of the German three point star have risen so much they over took the arch-rivals at BMW and recently even the long reigning Lexus.
The 2009 F1 champion, Jenson Button, received from Mercedes-Benz a DR520 Estate model, one of the twenty units of the special edition manufactured for the Mercedes C-Klasse. Germans at Mercedes decided to give a unit of the special version of C-Klasse to the former F1 champion. With an electronical limited top speed of 300 km/h
It’s not the first time when the German tuners at Brabus develop a tuning kit for the SLS AMG supercar from Mercedes. This time, Brabus focused on improving the visual appearance of the Stuttgart model, developing special accessories in order to achieve this purpose. The German tuning house Brabus is well-known for creating tuning kits
Mercedes has another reason to brag about: the current sales of their C-Class sedan and estate models exceeded one million units since it’s launch in 2007. Known for it’s fuel efficiency, the Mercedes C-Class favourite is the C220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, consuming 4.8l/100 km, which will be even more efficient in handling fuel after the company
There are rumors that Mercedes is preparing a nine-speed automatic gearbox. For now, this is at the project stage, because building an automatic gearbox with nine reports isn’t an easy job. People at Mercedes claim that the nine-speed automatic gearbox will compete and exceed the performance of the eight reports gearbox available on other rival
It would seem like it was just yesterday that the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was leaving the drawing board and entering production and already the eco-mentalists have gotten to it. To be frank, Mercedes unveiled their plan for an all electric version of the SLS AMG nearly a year ago but every single time I see
As befits a new car launch, Mercedes is putting on a show. The car going to be launched soon is the 2011 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG and the show of put in store is more of a history lesson. The latest S class AMG will be running around in the livery used by the 300SEL 6.8
It would seem that startup supercar makers are pretty much letting go of the tradition to fit Big Blocks from Detroit in their mid-engined rockets and turning to the Germans instead. The Pagani Zonda led the way with power coming from Mercedes, then the floodgates opened up and German engines found homes in stuff such
It is not uncommon for automotive manufacturers to get some advertising throughout the film industry and this time two big names of both worlds have come together. I’m talking about the Germans from Mercedes-Benz providing transportation for the four dames (and the main male character) of the iconic Sex and the City sequel.
The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz E Class family has received “the royal treatment” from the famous BINZ limousine maker as the car now features an extra set of doors and quite a bit of extra length. The BINZ version of the E Class not only features an extra couple of doors but secludes an
