Mercedes-Benz is set to introduce five new car models at the upcoming New York International Auto Show.
The upcoming launch of the new vehicles will include the world premiere of the high-performance Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Coupe and the battery-powered Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive. In addition to these two new models, the show will also see the US debut of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG “Edition 507”, the all-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model wagon, and the latest series-production model of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class.
First it was matte paint. Then came vinyl wraps. Then Plasti Dip. It’s been a whole six months since the Plasti Dip craze first burst onto the net. Now I gues it’s time for a new superficial fad to take over. I’m not opposed to that idea in general… I’m just opposed to this. Maybe, i’m […] More »
The upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG was caught by our spy photographers during some tests close to the famous German Nürburgring. These are some of the first spy photos of the German model that will make its official debut this autumn at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG will have […] More »
Lewis Hamilton scored his first podium finish for the Mercedes AMG Petronas team on Sunday at the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix, incidentally the team’s home race. While the newcomer had a great race overall, he did have one funny moment on the circuit. On his first pit stop, a tire change in Lap 8, the former McLaren driver actually went into the McLaren pit stop box, which many of course found amusing.
The gaffe prompted these tweets from McLaren’s official Twitter account:
You hear that? That’s the sound of about 11,000 horsepower. AMG decided to bring together the whole family for a photo shoot with a side of extra noise. Though I wish this clip was longer, I’m grateful that it happened. Next time Mercedes, no music please. I love an overly dramatic orchestral arrangement as much […] More »
Now this is the CLA we’ve been waiting for. For months now, Mercedes has been showing off the tantalizing A-Class AMG over seas as a sexy slab of sheet metal that would never make the flight across the Atlantic. No matter. We’re getting the hatchback’s equally hot sister: the CLA45 AMG. They’re fraternal twins I guess, kinda like […] More »
If you’d like a third-generation Mercedes-Benz A250, but you feel like it doesn’t quite pack the punch you require, you might want to check out German tuner Vath’s take. It makes some performance tweaks to get the car to 245 horsepower, which should be more than enough for those craving for some more out of the A-Class.
This tuned model is called the V25, and there’s quite a considerable package given to the car. For starters, the 2.0-liter engine has been tuned, and aside from the HP boost, it also gets to 288 pound-feet of torque. The numbers are up from 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet on the stock A250.
