Daimler-Benz AG presented the W126 series S-Class generation at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in 1979. The range of models in the series given the internal designation W 126 was comprised initially of seven vehicles: Choice was from four engines (from the 2.8-liter six-cylinder carburettor unit with 115 kW to the 5.0-liter V8 light-alloy engine with direct fuel injection and 176 kW) and two body variants – in addition to the normal version, a lengthened variant, as had traditionally been the case with premium-segment saloons for generations. In this case, lengthening of the wheelbase by 140 millimetres was more apparent than otherwise and as usual the extra space served exclusively to increase legroom in the rear and the entry width for the rear doors.
Automobile Magazine is reporting that Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche and his engineering chief Thomas Weber have finally struck a deal with Renault-Nissan to develop the next generation of Smart microcars by late 2014. The vehicle will be re-badged for all three car makers, so only the exterior and possibly interior will have different shapes and colors, but the frame and mechanical parts will be identical.
Electric propulsion is to play a major role from the outset. Renault will be bring its Z.E. (zero emissions) vehicle know-how, as will smart with it’s smart ed vehicle, which will be launching in numerous countries in the new few years. They will also develop a gasoline powered version, with a 1.0 liter, direct injection, turbocharged 3 cylinder engine; a 1.3 and 1.5 liter 4 cylinder is also planned.
The plan includes as many as four models: the two-seater ForTwo city coupe and cabriolet, the all-new four-seater ForFour, and the still tentative ForMore microvan.
Under the new label MercedesSport, Mercedes-Benz is presenting a portfolio of elegant and sporty individualisation products for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show. This MercedesSport portfolio includes specially designed light-alloy wheels, a sports suspension and mounted aerodynamic and styling components.
All MercedesSport products were developed by Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH in collaboration with the same designers and engineers who were responsible for the standard production models. As a result, everything appears to have been cast from a single mold. MercedesSport is initially available for the E-Class Saloon, Estate, Coupe and Cabriolet.
Mercedes-Benz has officially released information on their newest concept vehicle. The F800 Style is a synthesis of green technology and stylish-sporty design, it demonstrates Mercedes-Benz’ ability to harmonize automobile fascination and emotion with the continually increasing demands of environmental compatibility.
Just like its predecessor, the F 700 presented that we saw at the 2007 IAA motor show, the latest research vehicle offers a clear idea of what we can expect in the future from premium automobiles, more precisely the next-gen CLS and S-Class. While the 5.18-meter F 700 provided a preview of the large touring sedan of the distant future, the much shorter F 800 Style (4.75 meters exterior length) points the way toward developments to come in the upper-range sedan segment in the near future.
