The new smart fortwo cdi is even more environmentally friendly than expected. The vehicle certification process that has now been completed also established fuel consumption under standard conditions of just 3.3 liters per 100 kilometers. The temporary figure previously given was 3.4 liters per 100 kilometers.

Even more so than before the new smart fortwo cdi has the lowest CO2 emissions of any car on the market today. At present there is no more economical and climate-friendly car than the smart fortwo cdi.

So, ladies and gentlemen, what does this mean for you. Well if you are environmentally conscious, then this car (the cdi version) is definitely for you.

Sports package for the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

by Muamer Hodzic (RSS feed) February 28th, 2007 at 9:07 am

If you are in the market for an SL350 or SL500, you might want to consider getting this optional sport package that will surely give you an even bigger ego-bust. The sport package will be comprised of perforated leather and aluminum trim in a fresh new look that set the tone for the sporty and luxurious ambiance. While the inside receive all this goodness, the outside wasn’t left untouched either; with large wheels that have the five-spoke design, it dominates the picture, while also setting off the silver-painted front brake to a particularly stunning effect. The 7G-TRONIC Sport transmission with steering-wheel shift paddles will let you feel the sport package and all its power.

Just like I mentioned above, the package will only be available for the SL350 and SL500 and will cost about $3,919 (€ 2975). When it comes to the engine option, V6 and V8 power units together with even more powerful V8 AMG and V12 are available for the SL.

How to build a Mclaren SLR

by Muamer Hodzic (RSS feed) February 26th, 2007 at 12:38 pm

Ever wanted to build your own Mercedes, well these guys did. This is not just any Mercedes, but a Mclaren SLR that they built from what seems to be an old American muscle car. There isn’t much detail on how he transformed the car into the SLR, but the images provide a nice storyline on how it happend.

Update: Some people have pointed out that the car they started out with was a 500SEC and not a American muscle car, which I mistakenly thought it was. Either way, the transformation looks very good from the outside, but we have no way of telling how the interior turned out, which for some people is the more important part.
