For the time becoming, the 571 hewlett packard roadster is going via endurance and top quality assessments - the automobile the thing is here's only gently disguised with recorded up badges and lights.The AMG crew have formerly completed the majority from the design function, since the Coupé and Roadster had been produced in parallel. For that reason the focus from the professionals in Affalterbach was particularly on bodyshell rigidity, dealing with dynamics, the soft top rated and NVH.

Mercedes SL 65 AMG by Misha Design

This impressive Mercedes SL! At first you think it might even be a SL65 AMG Black Series, but its removable roof immediately dispels our doubts, because it is fixed on BS.Logiquement she receives a kit WideBody with broad wings, a an integrated rear bumper diffuser and a carbon bonnet. The general appearance is bad, and the car is more aggressive than ever. Nothing really inconsistent with the mechanics of a V12 biturbo with an output of 612 horses for a couple of 102 mkg. In its original configuration it goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.2 seconds. Certainly the performance will remain reasonable despite the aerodynamic drag supplémentaire.Le most impressive is probably the iForged rims Concave Series 20x10, 5 on the front (Pirelli PZero in 275/30x20) and 21x13, 5 rear (Pirelli PZero in 375 / 20x21), who admirably filled the wings, and pose real self.

The cut should offer standard or optional in many electronic aids and assistances to drive. Mechanically cut should be equipped with the Start-Stop and depending on the version of Gearbox 7-speed G-Tronic will be offered as standard or optional.

Hot News: Mercedes Plans BMW Mega City Rival

Mercedes-Benz has kicked off styling studies into a range of new alternative-drive city cars as part of a project known internally under the working title Mega City Mobility.

Aimed at providing Mercedes-Benz with an answer to the much-hyped BMW Mega City Vehicle and a new all-electric Audi model set to come off the same platform as parent company Volkswagen’s new Up city car, the car is being styled at the company’s Yokahama-based studio in Japan under the direction of Holger Hutzenlaub.

Autocar’s exclusive photographs reveal a range of ideas that have already come out of the Mega City Mobility project, including sketches and a clay model of a stylish new one-box offering that’s thought to have been conceived to sit on the rear-engined underpinnings of the upcoming second-generation Smart ForFour.

Mercedes-Benz says the decision to base the Mega City Mobility project in Japan stems from the country’s acute lack of space and the solutions that are being generated to provide an increased standard of living in large cities. “We been looking outside the automotive industry, including the trend towards mini city houses, to generate new ideas on space utilization and packaging,” Hutzenlaub told Autocar.

One of the first products to stem from Mercedes-Benz’s Mega City Mobility project will be the new Smart E-scooter, which has now been granted production approval following its unveiling at last September’s Paris motor show.

Mercedes SLK 2012 First patent sketches

The next generation of the SLK had already been widely discovered, a few weeks ago, in a 10-minute video. Today is a series of sketches that you can admire the lines of the convertible. The lines remain hanging in the back, but the front shows the current aesthetic canons of the mark, with a grille reminiscent of those of the SLS or the new AMG CLS. The long bonnet is also thinking about his big sister, the SLS AMG, while the back up lenses in height. The new SLK will soon be officially presented. The most optimistic are banking on the Detroit Auto Show in mid January, if it was not until March and the Geneva Motor Show.

Mercedes SLS AMG to win with Gran Turismo 5

This is a new nature to perhaps move even more sleepless nights before the latest installment of Gran Turismo.

Sony launches in fact a contest whose prize is simply a Mercedes SLS AMG ! For the record, this racing car worth approximately 180 000 EUR has a 6.2 liter V8 to 571 horsepower. Moreover, it is very difficult to resist its charm and its gullwing doors.

The 15 regional winners, in 22 countries, will in a second time the opportunity to participate in the contest organized by the Steering Mercedes-Benz.

New Car: 2012 Mercedes C-Class

As the cheapest and humblest car in Mercedes’ U.S. showrooms, where it lives next to larger, more-powerful, more-luxurious, and more-prestigious vehicles, the C-class has had a tough time establishing itself as a full-cachet, no-apologies Mercedes-Benz. But a window of opportunity seems to be opening for the C-class come the 2012 model year, with its mid-cycle update arriving just as world events and economic challenges have precipitated a shift among luxury buyers toward “right-sized” vehicles containing full-size luxury amenities.

It will certainly try to impress. The restyled 2012 C-class will greet customers with a more upscale face highlighted by a sculpted front fascia and new, CLS-style headlamps that blend into the fenders. Distinct Sport and Luxury trims continue for 2012, with the Sport model being differentiated by its grille and thin chrome spears in the outboard air intakes, which also house the LED running lights that are now standard on all C-class models. The brightwork continues along the doors and around the new rear bumper. The taillamps are also new for 2012, with more distinct detailing and still more LEDs.

The biggest news is a more powerful naturally aspirated engine in the top-shelf C350 Sport, plus the addition of a new base model, the C250, with a turbocharged four-cylinder under its hood. The C350 Sport’s V-6 is a new, direct-injection 3.5-liter, and its output is raised from the outgoing C350’s 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque to a healthy 302 hp and 273 lb-ft. The mid-grade C300 retains its 3.0-liter V-6 with 228 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, but now is offered only with 4MATIC all-wheel drive (and will be the only C-class available thus equipped). At the low end of the range is that new C250, powered by a direct-injected, turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder that produces 201 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque. The C250 is slated to deliver among the highest fuel-economy of any Mercedes-Benz offered on these shores: an estimated 24 mpg combined. (For the record, the larger E350 BlueTec diesel is EPA-rated for 26 combined.) As for acceleration, Mercedes says the C250 should hit 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, a figure it also cites for the C300 4MATIC. The top-dog C350 is said to make the 0-to-60-mph sprint in 5.9.

Each of the three engines comes mated exclusively to a seven-speed automatic transmission, which means that you’ll no longer be able find a manual in the C-class when the 2012 model arrives next summer. (As if you could realistically find one in circulation before!) That means the current SLK300 will be the only U.S. Merc with a row-your-own option. As usual, auto-only also will apply to the 2012 C63 AMG, which also will be refreshed and goes on sale next summer or fall. It will retain the current 6.2-liter V-8, rather than moving to the twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 like other AMGs.

From spy photos show that the proportions of the current model are preserved in the new. A careful examination of the photos, however, to see and new things. For example, the rear preponderance became definitely shorter than the present. Bonnet look taller.  Overall, the style has taken something of SLK and SLS AMG, and the design of the rear similar to that in the new CLS. The new SL is definitely lower than the current, but has a wider track. The car must be released in early 2012 and then a long time. There may be changes. It is known however that the chassis will be aluminum, is expected to improve handling, performance and reduce fuel consumption.
 The new Mercedes-Benz SL will be pretty common parts of SLS AMG, it comes to engines, suspension, electrical system and more. It is also almost certain that transmission with seven degrees of SLS AMG will see in the new Mercedes-Benz SL. The engines will be V6 and V8, it is possible to have a version with hybrid technology.On top of course, will be 63 SL AMG with V8 bi-turbo having a displacement of 5.5 liters and power above 571 hp

2011 2012 New Mercedes SLK in the video at the Daimler-Blog

The new Mercedes SLK, there are no officially published by Daimler photos. However, now published by the manufacturer Daimler-Blog a video surfaced on the third generation of the SLK to the last test laps in Monaco on the road. The camera keeps Michael Scheer, head of the entire vehicle test SLK, as the sitting at the wheel Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg. The two do have German as native language, talking in the video but in English. The SLK is the film by his outer and inner forms of price a lot and Nico Rosberg is looking forward to one or the other technical specialties.

At Mercedes Gullwing is the name of SLS AMG now before the sports car design line. The long hood of the SLK ends in front of a radiator grille with a big star. This in turn is held by a chrome crossbar-present - the stylized Formula 1 nose of the previous model is passé. At the other end of the hood, just before the windshield, fired right and left are two large openings, hot air outside. In addition, the car a few inches longer and wider become what it visually rich on the road can be. The wheelbase of the SLK remains unchanged.

"One of my favorite details of swabian engineering" says Rosberg the darkened glass roof at the push of the new SLK. This roof can regulate the intensity of incident light. Even otherwise there is the interior of the modern athlete, was again the SLS AMG Godfather. this is clearly visible on the air vents, which are like the SLS AMG modeled the jet aircraft. Even the sporty steering wheel is reminiscent of the wheel from the Gullwing. The buttons on the center console seem to be made of aluminum, Rosberg she goes delightfully off the fingers. In the headrests of the seats, the latest generation of Airscarf is used. This warm air scarf with the top down on chilly days neck and neck. The SLK was the first vehicle in the world where such a neck warmer was ever used. Meanwhile, there are similar such as the Peugeot or Audi

Hot News: Mercedes Plans 320 hp Hatchback

Mercedes-Benz is planning to enter the hot hatch market in 2012 with a 320bhp AMG-badged A-class.

The hot AMG version of the new, third-generation A-class will have a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine and four-wheel drive. It is being developed by Mercedes’ AMG performance arm under the direction of its new boss, Ola Källenius.

The hot A-class is due on sale in the UK in September 2012. It will be priced to compete with the Audi RS3, Volkswagen Golf R and an M Sport-badged, turbocharged four-cylinder version of BMW’s second-generation 1-series hatchback — which suggests that it could be around £35k.

The new A-class will be based on Mercedes’ MFA (Modularen Frontantriebs-Architektur) platform — a newly developed unitary construction structure that ditches the heavy and expensive ‘sandwich floor’ of today’s model.

Codenamed W176, the car is radically different from its tall predecessor. It takes on a much lower and more conventional two-box silhouette, overlaid with taut surfacing and styling cues first seen on the F800 Style concept car.

The racy new look will be previewed on a concept at next year’s Shanghai motor show. It is designed to attract a younger customer than today’s A-class.

The look will be further embellished on the AMG version by uniquely styled bumpers, pronounced sills, chromed tailpipes and 18-inch wheels. The car is likely to be badged A25 AMG, according to insiders.

AMG had planned to use a 2.0-litre, direct injection engine running an electrically operated turbocharger from Swiss firm Hyprex. But concerns over its complexity and related production costs have forced a switch to a more conventional powerplant using a mechanical twin-scroll turbo.

Insiders with knowledge of the 2.0-litre, aluminium-block engine suggest that AMG’s powertrain department is aiming for a power output in excess of 300bhp. One source told us: “Something in the region of 320bhp is realistically possible with the technology at hand.”

By providing the car with a new six-speed, dual-clutch gearbox and a Haldex-style four-wheel drive system with a multi-plate clutch, Mercedes is hoping to dispel any concerns about traction. But in a bid to provide the A25 AMG with the dynamics to match its badge, the new driveline will feature a positive rear-drive bias, together with an electronically operated torque-vectoring clutch to juggle drive between each of the rear wheels.

Spied: 2012 Mercedes C-Class Coupe AMG

AMG used to be about straight-line performance above all. The small subsidiary, located some 15 miles north of Stuttgart in the village of Affalterbach, has traditionally focused on stuffing monstrous V-8 and V-12 engines into pretty much everything Mercedes makes. But now, the sub-brand is focusing more intently on compact and agile cars.

Seen here is an AMG version of the upcoming C-class coupe, which is built on the same platform as—but is designed to cater to a younger customer base than—the E-class coupe. Power for AMG's C coupe will come from a slightly detuned version of Affalterbach’s new 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8. It will likely be turbocharged, although we've heard voices say a naturally aspirated version is not entirely unthinkable. A turbocharged V-6 is another possibility. What the coupe would be called is still up in the air and depends on what powers the vehicle—if it gets the turbo 5.5-liter, it will likely be called C63, but if it gets a naturally aspirated version of that engine or a six, the designation would almost certainly be different. Regardless of powerplant, top speed will be governed at 155 mph, but AMG will offer a package to increase top speed to a governed 174 mph.

Visual cues will include four large exhaust pipes, 18- or 19-inch AMG wheels, a sizeable rear spoiler that grows out of the shoulder line's upward kink, and an aero package. The front end will be dominated by large air intakes in the fascia with aggressive LED daytime running light strips. Inside, the AMG will have unique aluminum or carbon-fiber trim and sports seats.

The C-class coupe, by the way, won't remain the smallest AMG for long. We expect versions of the next-generation A- and B-class platform, potentially powered by a turbocharged four churning out upwards of 300 hp. But, with hairy V-8 muscle a near certainty—and with a Black Series sedan in the stable—the C-class is looking like the AMG project to watch.

Unofficial Picture: 2012 Mercedes SLK

Meet the new SLK! Thanks to a leak from a French site, the newcomer has been revealed, along with many of the car’s new features, ahead of the launch at the Detroit Motor Show in January.

The newcomer is clearly inspired by the SLS AMG supercar, and features a prominent grille, swept back headlights and angular exhausts.

The new headlights feature Mercedes’ intelligent light system, which uses a number of LEDs which illuminate depending on ambient light and whether the car is turning a corner.

The car in the video, which has now been removed from YouTube, is fitted with the AMG Sports Package, which includes a deeper front bumper, rear spoiler and larger alloys. Mercedes has also worked hard to make the SLK a sharper drive, adding the Dynamic Handling Package, which includes adaptive dampers.

The two-piece folding metal hardtop is once again present and correct, and now features an electrochromatic MAGIC SKY CONTROL sunroof which goes opaque or clears at the touch of a button.

When the top’s down, Mercedes has added the AIRGUIDE draft stop, which is a piece of plastic which flips out from behind each headrest, stopping drafts getting into the cabin. This works in conjunction with the AIRSCARF neck warmer.

On the inside, the cabin has taken a big step forward in quality, with improved materials, like sun-reflective leather used on the seats, and new tech, including COMAND online sat-nav, which has internet access.

The entry level SLK200 will get the 201bhp 1.8-litre CGI petrol, while the convertible gets diesel power for the first time, courtesy of the 201bhp 2.4-litre CDI unit from the E-Class.

The 300 V6 model is discontinued, but the SLK350 gains the revised 302bhp direct injection V-Series 3.5-litre V6. A performance version is likely to be offered, which may be powered by AMG's hotly anticipated twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6 which produces around 465bhp.

All units feature direct injection, start-stop and are connected to the firm’s slick 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic gearbox. For more details click here.
