R63 Spy Pic.......
Translated from German Website...it's a little rough
By the new r-class, the Grand of sport Tourer of Mercedes Benz, the Stuttgart automobile mark affirms its role as Vordenker and trendsetter. The singular vehicle concept unites the advantages of well-known vehicle categories like sporty sedan, combination, Van and Sport utility Vehicle. (SUV) to a new, independent character. Design, dynamics and dimensions are its outstanding characteristics. The new r-class will start in the autumn 2005 first on the North American market; European Mercedes customers receive the vehicle starting from at the beginning of 2006. The concept of the Grand of sport Tourers corresponds to the desire of modern humans for a versatile and at the same time drivingactive automobile. Thus the new r-class does not only offer generous space conditions, exemplary security and Top comfort for up to six passengers, it fascinated likewise by formal aesthetics, a representative character and - not least - dynamic driving fun.
From 165 kW/224 HP to 225 kW/306 HP the power spectrum of the engines, which make clear thereby hands what the new r-class regarding driving dynamics and driving fun has to offer. The strong V8-Triebwerk accelerates R 500 in 7.0 seconds of zero on 100 km/h and makes a maximum speed possible of 245 km/h. Belonged to the engine program also the again developed six cylinder diesel engine with the Common Rail common-Rail-Direkteinspritzung of the third generation, which provides for more favorable fuel consumption, still smaller waste gas emissions and audibly better quiet running. Already starting from 1600/min the V6-Motor makes available a maximum torque of 510 Newtonmeters and reaches thereby the peak value in this capacity class. The combined fuel consumption of R 320 CDI amounts to 9.3 litres per 100 of kilometers.
With the new V6-Benzinmotor (200 kW/272 HP) equipped R 350 km/h in 8.3 seconds of zero on 100 km/h a maximum speed of 230 accelerates and reaches. All engines co-operate in series with the filter course automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC, which offers a further characteristic: DIRECT SELECT. Owing to this electronic transmission operation Mercedes engineers can do without the usual mechanism selector lever in the center console and instead a lever at the steering column to use, with which the driver serves the transmission. Additional steering wheel switching keys make the manual preselection possible of the seven courses - as in a formula racing car. So the driver can use the efficiency of the six or eight-cylinder in each driving conditions optimally.
Permanent all-wheel drive, the electronically steered traction system 4ETS and ESP. ensure highest driving safety and hold the new r-class also with adverse road conditions course. These systems belong likewise to the standard like the pneumatic cushioning at the rear axle. When desired Mercedes customers know the round circulating air suspension AIRMATIC orders. It is combined with the adaptive absorption system ADS and offers thereby on bad distances the possibility of raising the body by depressing the key over up to 50 millimeters. During fast travel starting from 120 km/h the AIRMATIC lowers the body automatically by 20 millimeters, in order to reduce air resistance.
The body of the r-class measures 5157 millimeters in the length and has thereby the format of an upper class sedan. In the interior the new Mercedes model offers however clearly more generous space conditions. They are based essentially on the modern vehicle concept and one in detail thought out measure conception. Thus the distance between the first and second seat row amounts to 920 millimeters; between the second and third row again 840 millimeters are available. Besides the seats of the second row can be adjusted in longitudinal direction individually, so that a still larger seat distance of up to 990 millimeters is possible. Between the second and third seat row maximally 920 millimeters (depending upon seating position) are available. Also with the masses for head liberty (in the back: up to 1027 millimeters) and shoulder area (in front: 1530 millimeters; in the back: up to 1514 millimeters) advanced the Mercedes Benz r-class into new space and comfort dimensions. The six passengers take place, which are equipped with arm rests in the second seat row additionally on comfortable single seats. A when desired available center console between the single seats of the second seat row contains additional stowage boxes and makes the safe turning possible off of drinking cups or bottles in largely dimensioned Cupholdern.
Sport and leisureoriented families after a variable automobile, which can be adapted with few handles to different tasks of transportation, the new r-class corresponds to the desire likewise in Mercedes typical way: The four seats in the rear are individually hinged, so that the load volume becomes larger on maximally 2385 litres (VDA measuring method) - that is clearly more than in the case of a combination sedan. The even load soil long over 2.20 meters and the large EASY PACK rear flap, which can open and be closed when desired by remote maintenance, facilitate the loading or an unloading.
Security: Preventive passenger protection PRE PRE-SAFE. and NECK Pro head restraints
Newest Mercedes inventions make the journey not only most comfortable on board the Grand of sport Tourers, but also very surely: PRE PRE-SAFE., the often distinguished, preventive protective system (desire equipment), recognizes drivingdynamically critical situations and goes immediately into action, in order to prepare passengers and car for a possible collision. Thus the belts of driver and front seat passenger are tightened as a precaution, the electrically adjustable passenger seat with MEMORY function is brought into the optimum position and the sun roof is closed automatically. Owing to these preventive preventive measures the autopassengers already are before an accident in a better seating position, so that seat belts and Airbags can work more effectively. The new r-class is in series with adaptive front Airbags, front Sidebags as well as equipped with Windowbags. Besides all seats have belt-taut and belt force limiter. As the further Mercedes innovation for still higher passenger security crashaktive NECK Pro head restraints (desire equipment) are available: With the heckaufprall they are pushed forward and by 30 millimeters upward very fast by 44 millimeters, in order to support the heads of the front passengers promptly. Thus the risk of a centrifuge trauma decreases.
For fresh air and pleasant transparency provides a again developed panorama sun roof, whose large glass areas extend nearly over the entire roof range. Thus this extra offers at the same time a singular open air pleasure. Finally also the efficient air conditioning system contributes to the high long-distance comfort of the new r-class. Beside the standard THERMATIC with two-zone air conditioning and separate operating sector for the rear Mercedes Benz offers when desired a again developed Multi zone THERMOTRONIC. Here more than one dozen sensors and an additional booster blower ensure for the fact that the desire temperatures stopped by driver, front seat passenger and rear passenger remain constant. When desired the new r-class can be equipped additionally with a separate rear air conditioning system for the third seat row. Owing to separate DVD /CD player (desire equipment) the Mitreisenden in the rear can select also their own maintenance program. The color screens and kopfhoereranschluesse are integrated into the backs of the front head restraints. Mercedes Benz offers valuable extras with the new r-class in equipment packages. So customers can equip their Grand of sport Tourer after individual taste and revaluations. To the selection among other things a styling package stands for the Exterieur, a sport optics package with particularly arranged combination instrument, sport pedals, 19-Zoll-Sportfelgen and electrically adjustable sport seats with upholstery Alcantara/Leder ARTICO beside the air mA TIC package.
