It’s Official: The new C-Class Estate

Sponsor: ML320 Parts After months of speculations, and dozen of spy shots/video, Mercedes has finally revealed the C-Class Estate. They sure did let us wait with the Estate, as the sedan was released in March and the AMG version a couple of months ago. The car is absolutely beautiful, especially when you look at it from the side. The front is just like the sedan version; the back is always the most interesting part of an Estate and probably the most difficult to design. You can see it yourself, they were able to pull it off and make it almost identical to the sedan version in term of the tail… Continue Reading »

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter now available with ECO-Start

An engine that is not running does not need any fuel. This truism helps the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to save fuel and thereby reduce its environmental impact.

The potential for saving fuel is considerable: in some cases, depending on application and traffic density, drivers managed to cut their fuel consumption by as much as 20%.

The famous F1 or SLR lookalike nose has finally justified its appearance. Well, it could be a potential überflieger, a car that Porsche drivers won’t make happy at all. After shifting the CLK63 AMG into overdrive with the Black Series treatment, Mercedes is repeating the process, this time with the SLK55 AMG. Thanks to a massaged 5.5-liter V-8 that now makes 400 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque — up 40 and 7, respectively — and lightweight components that shave 99 pounds off the car’s weight, the SLK55 AMG Black Series goes 0-62 in 4.5 seconds — 0.4 second quicker than the regular SLK 55 — with a top speed… Continue Reading »
